Email this article Sustainable Management of Spent Hydroprocessing Catalyst
Abstract
Increasing demand for high-quality transportation fuels and stringent environmental standards have resulted in the significantly increased quantity of spent hydroprocessing catalysts, which require the sustainable management. To minimize the generation of hazardous wastes, the spent hydroprocessing catalysts can be regenerated via oxidative regeneration or reactivated via the rejuvenation process. If the catalytic activity cannot be restored, it can be utilized as a source of other useful materials, and/or metals in the spent catalyst are recovered. Finally, the stabilized residues shall be disposed by using an environmentally sound method.Â
