QID announces new process for Sulphur removal for the Oil Industry
Friday, 07 October 2011 10:47
Recent environmental regulations limit the sulfur content in fuels to few p.p.m. Hydrodesulfurization is the process of choice of the industry, but benzo- dibenzo- and substituted dibenzo- thiophenes are recalcitrant substrates in that reducing procedure. QID new process is based on a combination of technologies which exploits a three-phase system (benzine-water-hydrophobic Ionic Liquid) to combine the efficiency of:
- Sulfur-compounds extraction from apolar matrices using Ionic Liquids;
- metal catalysed Sulfur-compounds oxidation using aqueous solutions of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) in mild conditions.
QID to develop new catalyst for ClO3 (Chlorate) reduction
Monday, 04 October 2010 21:51
QID starts a new line of research to develop a family of nanostructured catalyst to maximize performance of Chlorate Oxidation reactions and substitute Platinum and Rhodium.
The new catalysts will be focused on obtaining higher yields and lower costs. "The new generation of catalysts for ClO3 reduction is a strong challenge, but results are expected in a short time. Our scientists are using our technology to design the new catalysts, given the reactivity requirements." commented Stefano Gallucci, CEO of QID. The new family of catalysts is developed in cooperation with a non disclosed industrial partner.
QID announces Platinum substitute for LT- WATER GAS SHIFT (LT-WGS)
Friday, 01 October 2010 08:42
QID announces QIDPt for LT-WGS (Water Gas Shift). The new catalyst will replace Platinum and other catalysts to reduce running cost and maximize performance of Water Gas Shift reaction.
The product will be ready by Q32011.
"We are establishing several relationships with companies requiring a WGS catalyst with lower costs, but definitely higher longevity and efficiency than the current commercial ones. We plan to launch pilot tests during next winter." commented Stefano Gallucci, CEO of QID.
Renzo Rosei, President of QID said "QIDPt for WGS will be a real innovation. We’re building a strong technology platform attractive for oil refinement, hydrogen and ammonia production, and several other industrial sectors in need to replace Platinum and Rhodium”
QID adds Platinum substitute QIDPt for PReferential OXidation (PROX) to product range
Thursday, 17 June 2010 11:35
QID launches QIDPt for PROX, a new line of Platinum free catalysts designed to maximize performance of PReferential OXidation (PROX) reactions.
Ideal for companies working in the hydrogen production sector, the new catalyst has proved to substitute Platinum perfectly, with higher yields and lower costs. "As PROX is a common chemical reaction in the chemical industry, QIDPt for PROX is an ideal addition to our product range in a strong growth market. The move consolidates our position as a Company able to design a catalyts given its reactivity requirements.QID developed and patented the production method itself. It enables us to supply an extremely fine product with industrial quality standards." commented Stefano Gallucci, CEO of QID.
Renzo Rosei, President of QID said "QIDPt for PROX is one of the products on our roadmap of specialized Platinum and Rhodium free catalysts . At the moment we are developing new products to be announced by the end of 2010."
