Introduction The demand for hydrocarbon liquids treating facilities has increased in recent years as more liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) products are being produced. The most common contaminants in LPG products are hydrogen sulfide (H2S), mercaptans (RSH), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon disulfide (CS2) where each of these…
Ion exchange resins are materials widely used in many fields of chemistry. They are absolutely fascinating because, thanks to the fact that they exchange ions with the current they treat, they allow us to purify it or carry out a chemical reaction. In this bulletin we want to explain how…

One group of adsorbents that is especially exciting are molecular sieves. These materials are characterized by a perfectly designed crystalline structure that allows us to separate molecules according to their size, as these adsorbed in the pores of the molecular sieve that we use. The base crystalline structure is a…
Among the many adsorbents that exist, there is one that stands out especially for its beauty. This is the silica gel. An adsorbent that is not only used in the industry, but we find it very often in our daily lives, for example in small saggings protecting electronic devices, footwear…
Fixed bed reactors play an important role in the production processes associated to industrial sectors such as: oil refining, petrochemicals, environmental protection, fertilizers and heterogeneous catalytic process in general. In these reactors the catalyst plays the key-role, thanks to its capacity to speed up the desired chemical reactions under relatively…
