Abstract: A method of removing CO from a mixture of CO and saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons is provided. In one embodiment, the method is to contact a feed stream with an oxygen transfer agent; and then oxidize at least a portion of the CO to CO2 to produce a stream enriched in CO2. The saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons in the feed are not further oxidized during the oxidation. The oxygen transfer agent includes at least one of: i) water; ii) at least one reducible metal oxide; iii) at least one reducible chalcogen; or mixtures thereof. In another embodiment, the CO is converted to methane. The unsaturated hydrocarbons in the feed are not hydrogenated. In both of these alternatives, the CO2 or methane are then removed. Systems for removing the CO are also provided.

Abstract: Methods for producing olefins through hydrocarbon steam cracking include passing a hydrocarbon feed that includes one or more hydrocarbons to a hydrocarbon cracking unit and passing one or more sulfur-containing compounds to the hydrocarbon cracking unit. The sulfur- containing compounds include at least hydrogen sulfide gas, and a flow rate of the sulfur- containing compounds to the hydrocarbon cracking unit is sufficient to produce a molar concentration of elemental sulfur in the hydrocarbon cracking unit of from 10 ppm to 200 ppm. The methods include cracking the hydrocarbon feed in the hydrocarbon cracking unit to produce a cracker effluent and contacting the cracker effluent with a quench fluid in a quench unit to produce at least a cracked gas and a first pygas. The first pygas has a concentration of carbon disulfide less than 50 ppmw based on the total mass flow rate of the first pygas.

Abstract: “Green” methods of preparing oxygenated products, animal feed, and fertilizer are disclosed. Desired oxygenated products include, but are not limited to, ethanol, acetic acid, butyrate, butanol, propionate, propanol, or any combination thereof. The methods use synthesis gas (syngas), which can be produced from processing of coal, natural gas, and/or biomass. The syngas contains some combination of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and/or carbon dioxide. The method entails blending the syngas with purge (tail) gases from industrial processes and/or with hydrogen gas, e.g., produced from renewable sources. The resulting mixture is a H2-enriched syngas that is fermented by microorganisms that are well suited to ferment hydrogen-rich gases. Byproducts from the method can also be recovered. The disclosure also provides methods of preparing material fertilizer and animal feed, respectively. By repurposing purge gases so they are not emitted into the environment and/or using hydrogen from renewable sources, the disclosed methods are environmentally-friendly.

Abstract: A process (100) for the production of linear alpha-olefins is proposed, wherein ethylene is subjected to catalytic oligomerization (1) in a feed mixture to obtain a product mixture containing alpha-olefins with different chain length and side compounds. In a primary fractionation (2), a primary fraction is formed using at least part of the product mixture, and in a secondary fractionation (4), a secondary fraction is formed using at least part of the primary fraction. The primary fractionation (2) and the secondary fractionation (4) are carried out such that the primary fraction and the secondary fraction predominantly contain one of the alpha-olefins and are low in or free of other alpha-olefins, that the primary fraction contains one or more of the side compounds, and that the secondary fraction is depleted relative to the primary fraction in the one or more side compounds. In an intermediate step (3) between the primary fractionation (2) and the secondary fractionation (4), to which at least part of the primary fraction is subjected, the one or more side compounds are at least partly converted to one or more secondary compounds, and the one or more secondary compounds are at least partly separated in the secondary fractionation (4). The intermediate step (3) is carried out in such a way that not more than 0.8% of the alpha-olefin predominantly contained in the primary fraction or the part thereof subjected to the intermediate step is reacted. The intermediate step is carried out in the presence of 30 wt.-ppm to 200 wt.-ppm of water as reaction moderator and using a strongly acidic ion exchange resin.

Abstract: Disclosed is method for removing carbonyl sulphide and/or carbon disulphide from a sour gas stream. The method comprises subjecting the gas stream to simultaneous contact with an absorption liquid, such as an aqueous amine solution, and with a catalyst suitable for hydrolyzing carbonyl sulphide and/or carbon disulphide. To this end, the invention also provides a reactor system wherein both an absorption liquid and a catalyst are present. In a preferred embodiment, the catalyst is a heterogeneous catalyst present on or in an absorption column, either coated on the trays of a column with trays, or contained in the packing of a packed column.

Abstract: An integrated refinery process for removing mercaptans from a hydrocarbon stream containing mercaptans and converting by-product disulfide oil to useful products. The process includes introducing the hydrocarbon stream containing mercaptans into an extraction vessel containing an alkaline solution and passing the hydrocarbon stream through an extraction section of the extraction vessel which includes one or more liquid-liquid contacting decks for reaction to convert the mercaptans to alkali metal alkanethiolates. Further, the process includes withdrawing a hydrocarbon product stream free of mercaptans from the extraction vessel and recovering spent caustic containing alkali metal alkanethiolates from the extraction vessel. Additionally, the process includes subjecting the spent caustic containing alkali metal alkanethiolates to air oxidation to produce a by-product stream containing disulfide oils (DSO) and sulfides and processing the by-product stream in a steam cracking unit to produce a DSO free product stream.
