Cost-Effective Catalyst For Gasification Of Powder River Basin Coal
view source
US Patent:

20130032761, Feb 7, 2013
Filed:

Aug 3, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/566492
Inventors:

Maohong Fan - Ames IA, US
Morris Argyle Provo - Provo UT, US
Tiberiu Popa - Laramie WY, US
Assignee:

UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING - Laramie WY
International Classification:

C01B 31/18
C09K 3/00
US Classification:

252372, 4234182
Abstract:

The present invention generally relates to a catalytic gasification of coal. Catalytic gasification of a Wyodak low-sulfur sub-bituminous coal from the Powder River Basin of Wyoming was investigated using an inexpensive sodium carbonate catalyst applied via incipient wetness impregnation. Experiments in an atmospheric pressure fixed-bed laboratory gasifier were performed to evaluate the effects of reaction temperature, feed gas steam content, and NaCOloading on the catalytic gasification of the Wyodak coal. The temperature range investigated (700-900 C.) was selected with consideration of the NaCOmelting point (850 C.) to reduce the loss by volatilization of sodium. Sodium was found to be active during both pyrolysis and gasification steps. The catalyst was most cost-effective at addition levels of approximately 3 wt %. The random pore model provided a good fit to the conversion versus time data collected under both the catalytic and the uncatalytic conditions.

US Patent:

20150375209, Dec 31, 2015
Filed:

Jun 24, 2015
Appl. No.:

14/749441
Inventors:

- Laramie WY, US
Tiberiu POPA - Laramie WY, US
Assignee:

UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING - Laramie WY
International Classification:

B01J 23/72
B01J 8/02
B01J 37/03
B01J 37/08
C07C 29/149
B01J 37/04
Abstract:

Embodiments described herein generally relate to hydrogenation catalysts, syntheses of hydrogenation catalysts, and apparatus and methods for hydrogenation. Methods for forming a hydrogenation catalyst may include mixing a silica generating precursor with a copper precursor and adding an ammonium salt to an end pH of between about 5 to about 9. Methods for hydrogenating an oxalate may include forming a reaction mixture by flowing a hydrogenation catalyst to a reactor, flowing a hydrogen source to the reactor, and flowing an oxalate to the reactor, wherein the hydrogenation catalyst has a particle size between about 10 nm to about 40 nm. Methods may further include reacting the oxalate to form ethylene glycol.
