Abstract
Nickel catalyst currently is recovered from hydrogenated oil-catalyst mixtures by high capacity filter presses, but the process is highly labor-intensive. The use of membranes potentially could reduce labor expenses and the amount of oil lost during catalyst recovery, and can extend the useful life of catalysts. In the current study, catalyst ranging from 1 to 100 microns in particle size, did not pass through the membrane. All the nickel catalyst was recovered in the retentate fraction, resulting in a clear permeate stream. Experiments were performed over various pressure and temperature ranges, with flow rates ranging from 3.5 to 119 Imh.
