International Classification:
B01D 5312
US Classification:
55 60
Abstract:
An adsorption process for the recovery of hydrogen from a feed gas or vapor which contains hydrogen in admixture with one or more hydrocarbon components, alone or in admixture with non-hydrocarbon components. Particulate adsorbent solids are provided with a magnetizable component, or components, and circulated between an adsorption zone in which hydrogen is concentrated in the off gas by contact of the adsorbent solids with the feed, and hydrogen recovered, and a desorption zone in which the exhausted solids are regenerated. Within the adsorption zone the feed is countercurrently contacted with the solids at relatively low temperature to selectively adsorb hydrocarbons, and perhaps other non-hydrogen components. The solids are formed into a moving, fluidized bed, and magnetically stabilized to suppress gross solids circulation while hydrocarbons are adsorbed from the feed. Occluded hydrogen is subsequently displaced from the particulate adsorbent solids with hydrocarbons, and the hydrocarbon enriched particulate adsorbent solids are then transported to the desorption zone.

International Classification:
B01J 800, C01B 1700
US Classification:
423244
Abstract:
Process for preparing shaped base materials for use in solid catalysts for commercial processes. The solid contact material is prepared by pre-soaking a porous solid particulate carrier material in an organic liquid, immersing the carrier without drying in a dilute acid solution for a given time interval, washing, drying and calcining the impregnated carrier. After calcination, the carrier is impregnated with an active material.
