ABSTRACT:

Catalyst SG-B-3 has been successfully air regenerated in the micro reactors (10 cc catalyst) and its fluid analog SGF-B-1 has been successfully air regenerated in the bench-scale unit (150 cc catalyst).  However, both studies with this chemical composition have shown that multiple air regenerations at high temperatures are detrimental to catalyst life. Developmental catalyst SG-A-3 has performed well in the micro reactor units. The fluid analog, SGF-A-2, however, disintegrates in the fluid bench-scale unit when processing gas with a H sub 2 /CO ratio of one or two. Heat loss calculations for the fixed and fluid bench-scale units have been completed. A survey of various coal gasifiers has been completed. Target production selectivities and properties have been defined. (ERA citation 04:028734)
