Deactivation of π-Complexation Adsorbents by Hydrogen and Rejuvenation by Oxidation
Abstract
The π-complexation sorbents are the best sorbents for bulk olefin/paraffin separation and purification of normal α-olefins. Hydrogen produced during cracking operations would remain in small or trace amounts in the process streams. The effect of hydrogen exposure on Ag + -exchanged Y zeolite (AgY) and monolayer-dispersed AgNO 3 /SiO 2 (π-complexation sorbents) on olefin adsorption was studied by using accelerated tests. Hydrogen exposure could severely deactivate the π-complexation sorbents for adsorption of ethylene, 1,3-butadiene, and 1-butene. XPS analysis indicated that the Ag + ion responsible for π-complexation was partially reduced, hence, the deactivation. It was found that the deactivated sorbents could be rejuvenated by mild oxidation. The reoxidation of the H 2 -exposed AgY samples were carried out under different oxidation conditions to locate the optimum conditions. The treatment of the H 2 -exposed samples to 0.13 atm of O 2 in He at 350 °C for 0.5 h was the best reoxidation condition achieved in this study.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
