The present disclosure is directed to a low temperature carbon monoxide (LT-CO) oxidation catalyst composition for abatement of exhaust gas emissions from a lean burn engine. The LT-CO oxidation catalyst composition includes an oxygen storage component (OSC), a first platinum group metal (PGM) component, and a promoter metal, wherein the OSC is impregnated with the first PGM component and the promoter metal and the LT-CO oxidation catalyst composition is effective for oxidizing carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) under cold start conditions. Further provided are catalytic articles including the LT-CO oxidation catalyst composition, which may optionally further include a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) composition (giving an LT-CO/DOC article). Further provided is an exhaust gas treatment system including such catalytic articles, and methods for reducing a HC or CO level in an exhaust gas stream using such catalytic articles.

A catalyst for dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons includes a support including zirconium oxide and alumina. A concentration of the zirconium oxide in the catalyst is in a range of from 1 weight percent (wt. %) to 20 wt. %. The catalyst includes from 0.01 wt. % to 2 wt. % of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal. The catalyst includes from 1 wt. % to 2 wt. % of tin. The catalyst includes from 0.1 wt. % to 2 wt. % of a platinum group metal. The alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, tin, and platinum group metal are disposed on the support.

A method for operating an acetylene hydrogenation unit of a steam cracking system that integrates a fluidized catalytic dehydrogenation (FCDh) effluent from a fluidized catalytic dehydrogenation (FCDh) system may include separating a cracked gas from the steam cracking system into at least a hydrogenation feed comprising at least acetylene, CO, and hydrogen, introducing the FCDh effluent to the separation system, combining the FCDh effluent with the cracked gas upstream of the separation system, or both. The method may include hydrogenating acetylene in the hydrogenation feed. Elevated CO concentration in the hydrogenation feed due to the FCDh effluent may reduce a reaction rate of acetylene hydrogenation. The acetylene hydrogenation unit may operate at an elevated temperature relative to normal operating temperatures when the portion of the FCDh effluent is not integrated, such that a concentration of acetylene in the hydrogenated effluent is less than a threshold acetylene concentration.

A catalyst for a dehydrogenation reaction includes a carrier including Al.sub.2O.sub.3 having a theta (θ) phase, an active metal supported on the carrier and including a noble metal, and an auxiliary metal supported on the carrier and different from the active metal.

A fluidized catalytic reactor system cycles from 0.05-5% of catalyst at a time through a rejuvenation unit to be heated in the presence of oxygen to maintain catalyst activity. The use of the rejuvenation unit that may be 2% of the size of the main catalyst regeneration unit allows for reduction in equipment size and in catalyst inventory. The catalyst that is sent to the rejuvenation unit may be spent catalyst but may be partially or fully regenerated catalyst. The rejuvenation unit may be heated by combusting fuel or by hot flue gas.

The present invention relates to a hydrocarbon conversion catalyst, comprising: a first composition comprising a dehydrogenation active metal on a solid support, and a second composition comprising a transition metal and a doping agent, wherein the doping agent is selected from zinc, gallium, indium, lanthanum, and mixtures thereof, on an inorganic support.
