20090240093 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF AROMATIC COMPOUND - An aromatic compound, particularly benzene, is stably produced in the presence of a catalyst from a lower hydrocarbon having 2 or more carbon atoms, particularly from an ethane-containing gas composition such as ethane gas and natural gas. Disclosed is a process for producing an aromatic compound by reacting ethane or an ethane-containing raw gas in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst may comprise molybdenum carried on metallosilicate such as H-type ZSM-5H or H-type MCM-22. In the reaction, the temperature is from 550 to 750° C., preferably not lower than 600° C. and not higher than 680° C. Additionally, the raw gas further contains methane and hydrogen is added thereto, thereby improving the production efficiency and stability. | 09-24-2009 |
20090025291 | HYDROGEN GENERATOR AND HYDROGENATION APPARATUS - The efficiency of dehydrogenation and that of hydrogenation are improved. A hydrogen generator for generating hydrogen by dehydrogenation of organic hydrides in the presence of a catalyst is characterized by comprising a reactor vessel ( | 01-29-2009 |
20080312483 | Process for Producing Aromatic Hydrocarbon and Hydrogen - A process for producing aromatic hydrocarbons and hydrogen, in which a lower hydrocarbons-containing feedstock gas is reformed by being supplied to and being brought into contact with a catalyst under high temperature conditions thereby forming aromatic hydrocarbons and hydrogen. The method includes the steps of (a) supplying a hydrogen gas together with the feedstock gas during a supply of the feedstock gas; and (b) suspending the supply of the feedstock gas for a certain period of time while keeping a condition of a supply of the hydrogen gas. The catalyst is exemplified by a metallo-silicate carrying molybdenum and a metallo-silicate carrying molybdenum and rhodium. An amount of the hydrogen gas supplied together with the feedstock gas is set to be preferably larger than 2% and smaller than 10%, more preferably within a range of from 4 to 8%, much more preferably 8%. As a pretreatment for a reforming reaction by which aromatic hydrocarbons and hydrogen are formed, the catalyst is increased in temperature and kept at the temperature for a certain period of time while a gas containing methane and hydrogen is supplied thereto. | 12-18-2008 |
