    Technology of regeneration for resid HDS catalyst was investigated from the aspect of regeneration condition and the properties of catalyst. The basic study revealed that incomplete recovery of HDS activity is attributed to an aggregation of active metals and the decrease in catalyst strength is related to a degradation of alumina support. It was found that vanadium may affect indirectly the aggregation of active metals by increasing in the catalyst temperature due to the acceleration of coke combustion. Vanadium also leads to a pore mouth plugging during an HDS operation. Therefore, the control of regeneration temperature and catalyst properties can achieve an optimum regeneration. Furthermore, the addition of alkali-earth can prevent the degradation of alumina support and improve catalyst strength.

    Selective isobutene dimerization technology with high dimer selectivity was developed. Manufacturing of isooctene by using the technology was started in 2006, the obtained isoocten has been used as a material of high octane number gasoline. The key technology of the process is novel phosphoric acid catalyst different from prior solid phosphoric acid catalyst. The novel catalyst can be regenerated by soaking even though it is impossible with prior technology. Therefore, the amount of wastes can be decreased, compared with prior technology. Blending Research Octane Number of the produced isooctene is 115 and it is similar to aromatic compound. Distillation properties of isooctene are also similar. Therefore, it is possible to increase production of aromatic compounds such as toluene and xylene by adding isooctene to gasoline instead.
