Supercritical fluid (SCF) regeneration is a promising alternative method for regenerating solid catalysts deactivated by carbonaceous deposits. The unique solvent and transport properties of SCFs such as solvent strength similar to liquids and transport properties similar to gases make them highly suitable for extraction of fouling materials from porous heterogeneous catalysts. A brief review of the research work performed at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) on the application of supercritical fluids to both isobutane/butene alkylation reaction and solid acid catalyst regeneration is presented in this contribution.
