The demand for hydroprocessing catalysts has shown an increasing trend, because of their applications in refining of petroleum and biofuels, in order to comply with strict environmental regulations controlling emissions from transportation vehicles.

Transport fuel is dominated by fossil fuels with carbon emission intensive production methods. If we are to move away from these sources, the alternative is to produce liquid fuels from agricultural stocks — crops, crop waste, forestry waste or algae. Converting these feedstocks into high quality fuels is a considerable challenge.

By describing the current status in processing agricultural feedstock into high quality liquid transport fuels, the authors set out the means to develop better chemistry and catalysis for the necessary conversion processes. This book offers an intriguing insight into the mechanisms and protocols involved in new hydroprocessing catalysts and processes, and covers the methods for upgrading these liquids to modern transport vehicles suitable for operation in modern gasoline and diesel engines.

It provides an introduction to the mechanism of hydroprocessing reactions, application of different metals in hydroprocessing, the effect of catalyst supports, applications in refining new feedstock, renewable fuels standards, the management of spent hydroprocessing catalysts, and hydrogen production.

Hydroprocessing Catalysts and Processes will prove useful for both researchers in academe and industry concerned with future fuels development and treatment to produce current and future liquid transport fuels.

Contents:

  • Preface
  • Hydroprocessing and the Chemistry
  • Stabilization of Bio-Oil to Enable Its Hydrotreating to Produce Bio-Fuels
  • Hydroprocessing Catalysts: Inexpensive Ni Based Non-Sulfided Catalysts
  • Catalytic Upgrading of Pinewood Pyrolysis Bio-Oil Over Carbon-Encapsulated Bimetallic Co-Mo Carbides and Sulfides Catalysts
  • Hydroprocessing Catalysts for Algal Biofuels
  • Effects of Catalyst Support on Hydroprocessing
  • Commercial Hydroprocessing Processes for Bio-Feedstock
  • Renewable Fuels and Fuel Regulations and Standards
  • Spent Hydroprocessing Catalysts Management
  • Hydrogen Production

Readership: Graduate students in catalysis, refinery feedstock operations and planners, fuel technologists.
Key Features:

  • Most recent books related to hydroprocessing catalysts were published over 8 years ago
  • New challenges in biorefining and petroleum refining have required development of entirely new catalyst formulations and improvements of currently used catalysts
  • It is anticipated that the consumption of hydroprocessing catalysts will show a significant increase in the near future
