Regeneration of spent catalysts from coal liquefaction and petroleum residual processing operations

Conference · · Proc., Intersoc. Energy Convers. Eng. Conf.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5525717
HRI has developed a catalyst regeneration procedure for spent catalysts from both coal liquefaction and heavy petroleum residual upgrading operations to remove carbonaceous matter as well as most of the metal contaminants by chemical treatment. Test results show that activities of the regenerated catalysts from the H-Coal Process were either superior or equivalent to those of fresh catalyst. Useful vanadium and nickel salts can be reclaimed. The regeneration process is being optimized and readied for commercial application.
