A Catalyst with Increased Surface Area Produces High-Quality Synthetic Gas (new invention from Rosneft Oil Company 01/04/2022)

Overview

What is this invention?

Catalyst for the conversion of natural or associated gas into synthesis gas in an autothermal reforming process and method for preparing the same

Looking for a catalyst that can help you increase your conversion rate and production of synthesis gas? Look no further than the new Rosneft oil catalysts. These particles have a specific surface area of 20-50 m2/g, which makes them very effective at promoting autothermal reforming reactions. Additionally, the promoters used in these catalysts - palladium and ruthenium - give it excellent performance when it comes to converting natural or associated gases into hydrocarbons. The support also plays an important role in this process; high pore volume supports allow for efficient reactivity while minimizing fouling problems. All in all, these catalysts are perfect for those who need top notch results without any extra hassle!

The catalyst in the text is a support and a promoter. The support has a specific surface area of 40-120 m2/g with a pore volume of the support of 0.2-0.4 cm3/g, and the promoter is selected from the group consisting of palladium and ruthenium, in an amount of from 0.01 to 0.5 wt. %

What are some similar inventions on the market?

Some similar products on the market that might be worth investigating are the Amoco Catalysts. These catalysts also have a specific surface area of 20-50 m2/g and a high synthesis gas output, but they come with a higher price tag. Additionally, if you're looking for something cheaper, then the Kemin Catalyst may be an option for you. This catalyst has specific surface area of 8-11 m2/g and average particle size of 3-8 nm - both of which are lower than what is found in Rosneft's catalysts. However, it does not boast as great a conversion rate as Rosneft's offerings do and it does not produce quite as much hydrocarbons overall.

How could this be used?

The invention provides a high average conversion of natural/associated gas of at least 90% in an autothermal reforming reaction of natural or associated gas, and a high synthesis gas output of at least 7000 m3/m3cat·h. This catalyst is especially useful for reforming methane into ethylene, propene, and butadiene using the steam-cracker process. The catalyst can also be used in other processes that require hydrogenation reactions on low carbon feedstocks such as methanol to produce hydrocarbons including gasoline and diesel fuel.

What are some things to look out for with this?

There are few risks to using the catalyst. It is not toxic and does not release any harmful substances when used in a reaction. However, if it comes into contact with other materials during use, it could cause contamination.

What are the overall impressions of this invention?

Overall, Rosneft's catalysts are some of the most high-quality and efficient products on the market. They produce a high amount of hydrocarbons with little waste, which is great for companies looking to reduce their environmental footprint. Additionally, they have very specific surface areas which make them ideal for certain types of processes - making it difficult for others to compete in that area. While they may be a bit more expensive than some other options out there, they are definitely worth considering if you're looking for an elite catalyst solution.

Final comment expressed in a poem (written by an A.I.)

There once was a catalyst so great
For converting gas it was first rate
With high synthesis output
And surface area quite stout
This invention is surely first rate!
