Chromium catalyst materials and methods for making and using the same from chromium(VI) free sources
Patent number: 10646853Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for making chromium-containing dehydrogenation catalysts using chromium feedstocks that need not include chromium(VI). The disclosure also relates to the catalysts made thereby, as well as to dehydrogenation methods using such catalysts. In one aspect of the disclosure, a method includes providing a formable mixture comprising, on a dry basis, an aluminum hydroxide, present in an amount within the range of about 40 wt. % to about 90 wt. %; an acid (e.g., nitric acid), present in an amount within the range of about 2 wt. % to about 15 wt. %; and a chromium(III) source, present in an amount within the range of about 2 wt. % to about 35 wt. %; forming the formable mixture; and calcining the formed mixture. In certain embodiments, the method further includes impregnating the calcined mixture with an aqueous impregnation solution including a chromium(III) salt; and calcining the impregnated mixture.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Clariant CorporationInventor: Vladimir Fridman -
Patent number: 10647925Abstract: Fuels and/or fuel blending components can be formed from hydroprocessing of high lift deasphalted oil. The high lift deasphalting can correspond to solvent deasphalting to produce a yield of deasphalted oil of at least 50 wt %, or at least 65 wt %, or at least 75 wt %. The resulting fuels and/or fuel blending components formed by hydroprocessing of the deasphalted oil can have unexpectedly high naphthene content and/or density. Additionally or alternately, deasphalted oil generated from high lift deasphalting represents a disadvantaged feed that can be converted into a fuel and/or fuel blending components with unexpected compositions. Additionally or alternately, the resulting fuels and/or fuel blending components can have unexpectedly beneficial cold flow properties, such as cloud point, pour point, and/or freeze point.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2016Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Sheryl B.
