Feed Purification
actiSorb Catalyst Series
Sd-Chemie developed the ActiSorb series of catalysts and adsorbents for the purification of almost all hydrocarbon feedstocks. This purification is normally a combination of a reaction using a pretreatment catalyst, i.e. hydrogenation, followed by adsorption with the ActiSorb adsorbent. The following table gives a general overview of the different families of ActiSorb materials.

Sulphur Removal
Sulphur in the form of organic compounds can be removed either as such or by hydrogenation to H2S followed by adsorption of the latter. The ActiSorb S 7 catalyst is recommended for the removal of H2S, mercaptans, disulphides and thiophens in hydrocarbon feedstreams, ranging from naphtha to middle distillates. The achieved purity is less than 0.1 ppm wt. sulphur.

Hydrodesulphurisation
The standard catalysts for the hydrogenation of organic sulphur compounds in hydrocarbon feedstocks are the cobalt-molybdenum-type catalysts from the HDMax 200 series. These catalysts are used in both liquid and gas phase for all types of hydrocarbons, such as naphtha, LPG, natural gas and off-gases. For the hydrogenation of organic nitrogen compounds and/or olefin saturation, our nickel-molybdenum-based HDMax 310 catalyst is recommended.

H2S Removal
The ActiSorb S series of ZnO based adsorbents is used for the removal of sulphur components such as hydrogen sulphide, mercaptans and COS from hydrocarbon feedstreams. ActiSorb S 2 is the perfect solution when operating at high space velocities and elevated temperatures, while ActiSorb S 3 is recommended in applications with lower space velocities and higher inlet sulphur concentrations. The maximum bulk density catalyst ActiSorb S 1 is ideal in applications where the feed contains high inlet sulphur concentrations, and where maximum sulphur pick-up per loaded unit volume is required.

Desulphurisation of natural gas and light hydrocarbon feedstocks is also possible under ambient conditions using activated carbon. G-32J is coconut-shell-based and promoted with copper oxide. It should be noted that propane and C4+ hydrocarbons are absorbed by the activated carbon, thereby minimising the sulphur pickup capability of G-32J.

Purification of natural gas containing low concentrations of total sulphur can also be performed by ActiSorb G 1, a promoted ZnO catalyst. Simultaneous hydrodesulphurisation and H2S pick-up is a feature unique to ActiSorb G 1. Even when saturated, the ActiSorb G 1 catalyst fully retains its hydrogenation capabilities.

COS Hydrolysis
The ActiSorb 410 catalyst selectively promotes the simultaneous hydrolysis of COS and hydrogenation of CS2. HCN is also hydrolysed. The high selectivity of ActiSorb 410 means that process gases with very high CO concentrations can be treated. The feed to the COS hydrolysis reactor usually contains nickel and iron carbonyls. These carbonyls decompose on the ActiSorb 410 catalyst into CO and the respective metals, leading to deactivation of the ActiSorb 410 catalyst. It is therefore necessary to install a guard reactor with ActiSorb 400 to selectively decompose any traces of metal carbonyls on the guard catalyst.

C 3 Tail-end Liquid Phase Hydrogenation
It is common practice in steam cracker plants to hydrogenate the higher olefin streams selectively in liquid phase by means of Pd catalysts with a Pd content of 0.1 1.0 wt.%, whereas gas phase hydrogenation catalysts typically consist of Pd on alumina in a concentration of only 0.01 0.1 wt.% palladium. The temperature range applied varies from 10 200 C depending on the carbon number and the pressure of the olefin stream. For C3 cut hydrogenation, the aim is to selectively hydrogenate up to 7% methylacetylene and propadiene in a propylene stream with an increase in propylene production and suppression of by-product formation.

The optimum catalyst for an air-fed secondary reformer depends on the design of the burner and the distance between burner tip and top catalyst layer. If hexagonal target bricks are not used, we recommend installation of a top layer of ReforMax 400 GG to serve as an active heat shield. This material is also ideal for a bottom active support layer where extreme short loadings are required and/or where high purity inert supports can be replaced with an active catalyst.

Most ammonia plants convert CO to CO2 by high-temperature water-gas shift followed by low-temperature water-gas shift. For special process design, it can be advantageous to combine these two steps to form one isothermal or adiabatic step called medium temperature CO conversion (MTS).
High-temperature CO Conversion
The HTS catalyst ShiftMax 120 combines high activity with extremely good physical robustness. In addition, this catalyst is very effective in preventing Fischer-Tropsch by-product formation when operating at low steam to gas conditions.

Caprolactam from Benzene
This process involves the following steps: Benzene is firstly hydrogenated to cyclohexane. Cyclohexane is then oxidised to a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. The cyclohexanol is dehydrogenated to cyclohexanone. After the oxime is formed, caprolactam is obtained by performing a Beckman rearrangement. For the hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane, nickel catalysts are applied in either continuous slurry processes or isothermal fixed-bed processes, the latter being more common. NiSAT 320 RS powder is used for the slurry process, while for the fixedbed process we recommend using our NiSAT 200 catalyst in RS form.

Sd-Chemie History
The Beginning
agricultural Bavaria still lacks a factory for the manufacture of large amounts of artificial fertilizers, which would necessarily be linked to the production of chemical products This statement to the Bavarian King Maximilian II in the 19th century began the formation an enterprise in 1857 which eventually became Sd-Chemie AG in its present form. After 150 years Sd-Chemie can look back on a rich and varied history starting with the formation of the Bavarian Public Limited Company for Chemical and Agrochemical Products with Justus von Liebig as one of its founding shareholders. The production of mineral fertilisers began in 1859 in Heufeld and manufacturing of bleaching earth in Moosburg was started in 1906 with the natural clay (betonite) found in the area. In 1958/1959: Together with Chemetron Corp., Chicago, USA, GirdlerSdchemie Katalysator GmbH was formed in Munich as a joint venture for manufacturing catalysts used in fertilisers and in processing crude oil, edible oils, edible fats and fatty acids.
going global
After 15 years of partnership, in 1974, the entire catalyst business belonging to Chemetron (Girdler Chemical Inc.) in Louisville, Kentucky, USA was taken over, including its shares in Girdler-Sd-Chemie Katalysator and Nissan Girdler Catalyst Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan. In 1977, Sd-Chemie acquired the Louisville-based Catalyst and Chemicals Inc. (CCI), including partnerships with CCIL, India and CCIFE, Japan. US Girdler and CCI catalyst operations were then merged to form United Catalyst Inc. (UCI). In the Asia-Pacific region, production of CCI catalysts for Indonesia has been handled by PT-Kujang United Catalysts since the mid-eighties. In 1981, African Catalyst started anufacturing oligomerisation catalysts in Sasolburg, South Africa. Sd-Chemie has been producing zeolite catalysts via Syncat/SC Zeolites in South Africa since 1991. In 1990, Sd-Chemie purchased Houdry process and catalyst manufacturing technology operations from Air Product and Chemical Inc., USA. There are three HOUDRY applications: 1.) dehydrogenation of isobutane or propane for the production of iso-butylene or propylene (CATOFIN), 2.) dehydrogenation of n-butane for the production of 1,3- butadiene (CATADIENE), and 3.) dealkylation of alkylbenzenes for the production of hight purity benzene (PYROTOL, LITOL, and DETOL). While these technologies are owned by Sd-Chemie, they are licensed by ABB Lummus Global Inc.

Sd-Chemie History
Sd-Chemie History
Sd-Chemie acquired Prototec Inc., USA in 1992, with a view to expanding its operations in the emission control catalyst sector. In 1997, Sd-Chemie acquired the Italian Montecatini Technology whose product portfolio mainly includes catalysts used for oxychlorination in fluid or fixed-bed operation and in the production of terephthalic acid, as well as for oxidation of formaldehyde to Methanol. In November 2002, Sd-Chemie became the majority shareholder of the joint venture company Panjin Sud-Chemie Liaohe Catalysts. The JV serves the syngas and maleic anhydride catalysts market in China as well as rest of the world. In 2003, together with SABIC, Sd-Chemie acquired Scientific Design, Little Ferry, USA to form a 50:50 joint venture. The company specializes in processes and catalysts for the production of ethylene oxide and maleic anhydride. In 2004, Sd-Chemie established Sd-Chemie Qatar WLL with local partners to address the needs of the growing gas to liquid industry in the Middle East region. The production facility in Mesaieed Industrial City will be operational soon. In October 2005, Sd-Chemie acquired majority ownership and established Sd-Chemie Jinhai Catalyst in Shanghai/Peoples Republic of China. The venture supplies Ziegler-Natta catalysts used for polymerization of Propylene to Propypropylene. In September 2006, Sd-Chemie acquired Tricat Zeolites GmbH, a Bitterfeld Germany based producer of zeolite materials which are specialty catalysts used in the refining and petrochemical industry, as well as in environmental applications. With the acquisition of Tricat Zeolites and the planned expansion of its existing production capacity, Sd-Chemie is reacting to a rapid increase in the global demand for these specialty catalysts. This year, Sd-Chemie AG, Munich is celebrating its 150th anniversary. The companys foundation in 1857 co-marked the birth of the chemical industry in Germany. Today, Sd-Chemie is an international and technology-oriented global leader in the field of specialty chemistry for adsorbents and catalysts. With sales and earnings recording double-digit annual growth rates for three years in succession and group sales exceeding one billion euros for the first time in 2006, the company will be recruiting a hundred new employees in Germany alone during its anniversary year of 2007. On a worldwide scale, Sd-Chemie employs almost 5000 people at some seventy subsidiaries, generating over 80% of its sales outside Germany. The global identity of all of these companies is reflected in the common name and slogan: Sd-Chemie Creating Performance Technology
