摘要:
Coke is removed from particulate catalyst by passing the coke-containing catalyst into a regenerator containing a fluidized dense bed of catalyst. An oxygen containing gas is added to the regenerator to burn coke from catalyst. The dense bed has a reducing atmosphere in its lower half because most of the CO promoter catalyst present in the regenerator is in the upper half of the dense bed. Nitrogen oxides formed during coke combustion are at least partially reacted to form free nitrogen in the CO-rich atmosphere within the lower-half of the regenerator dense bed. A CO combustion promotor, e.g., platinum on alumina, having a low density, or small size is preferred as it concentrates near the upper portion of the regenerator dense bed. The process is especially useful in FCC regenerators for minimizing the NO.sub.x content of the flue gas, however, it is applicable to any fluidized bed combustion process.
摘要:
A regeneration zone for fluid catalytic cracking contains ammonia (NH.sub.3) when the regeneration zone is operated in a partial combustion mode as defined by a content of CO of between 1 and 6 percent by volume. If the ammonia is not removed from the regeneration zone off gass, the same will be passed to a CO combustion zone where, in the presence of oxygen, CO is oxidized to CO.sub.2 and some of the ammonia will undesirably be oxidized to NO.sub.x. This invention reduces the presence of ammonia in the feed gas to a CO combustion zone of an FCC process by the introduction of a NO.sub.x -containing gas to dilute phase of a regeneration zone or to a regeneration zone off gas. Ammonia, NO.sub.x and oxygen present in the regeneration zone off gas of the regeneration zone, will tend to react to produce nitrogen and water vapor, which then is passed to the CO combustion zone for CO oxidation to CO.sub.2. Where the addition of NO.sub.x is made at temperatures greater than 1700.degree. F., hydroxyl precursor addition may not be required. Where addition is made at temperatures lower than 1700.degree. F. a hydroxyl precursor may be added to the gas admixtures.
摘要:
A catalyst for decreasing the content of nitrogen oxides in flue gases. The catalyst contains at least one of the metals titanium, zirconium, vanadium, tungsten, molybdenum, or cerium in the form of one or more of their oxides combined with a silicate with a three-layer structure (three-layer silicate) comprising acid-activated pyrophyllite. The crystalline layer structure of the acid-activated pyrophyllite is essentially retained, while being not yet X-ray amorphous. The acid activation increases the BET surface area at least 15% and preferably at least 50% in terms of the BET surface area of the pyrophyllite before acid activation. The atomic ratio of the silicon in the acid-activated pyrophyllite to the metal in the oxide is from 0.2 and 50 and preferably from 0.4 to 25.

摘要:
A system and a method of nitrogen fixation is disclosed in which nitrogen and other gases such as oxygen are electrically activated and reacted on a catalyst-like material to provide a fixed nitrogen product in such a way that the reactant gases are first placed into an excited state by a single electrode electric discharge acting on a gas stream and then by means of the stream the reactants are contacted on the catalyst-like material on which they are then combined and the product compounds which are thereby formed are shielded by the same catalytic material from ultra violet radiation generated by the electric excitation, said shielding being to prevent subsequent disassociation of the product compounds, and the gas stream emerging on the downstream side of the catalyst carries the products to an absorption bed on which they are absorbed and concentrated and then reacted with a periodic flow of hydrogen to provide ammonia. In an alternate embodiment the products absorbed on the bed are first desorbed and then reacted with hydrogen.
摘要:
Calcium nitrate with low nitrate content is prepared by reacting in a series of absorption reactors lime slurry and nitrogen oxide gases. The lime slurry flows serially through the series of absorption reactors with a major portion being recycled to the inlet of a Venturi absorber in each reactor. Nitrogen oxide gases flow cocurrently with the slurry from each reactor to the following Venturi inlet and are contacted by recycle slurry in each Venturi with a molar ratio of calcium hydroxide to nitrogen oxides of at least about 20. Slurry from the last reactor with a calcium nitrite content of below about 22 weight percent and a calcium hydroxide content of at least about 2 weight percent may be freed of unreacted calcium hydroxide, for example by treatment with NO.sub.x gases, and then concentrated to the desired product concentration. The exit gases may be scrubbed with incoming lime slurry after passing through a holdup vessel which increases the ratio of NO.sub.2 to NO.
