BASF process catalyst R&D team wins 2023 Edison Patent Award for new adsorbent

● This U.S. patent from BASF covers a new method for reducing impurities in petrochemical products

● New adsorbent meets growing global customer demand for sustainable products

● BASF’s New Jersey R&D team won the Invention Award from the New Jersey Research and Development Council

Research & Development Council of New Jersey, USA Jersey) awards BASF’s catalyst development team the prestigious 2023 Edison Patent Award Award). BASF researchers won the environmental protection category of the patent award for a patent covering adsorbents and methods of making and using them. This innovative patent aims to use the safer and more environmentally friendly properties of bismuth-based adsorbents to remove impurities from process materials.

At the award ceremony on November 15, 2023, BASF researchers Artem Vityuk, Al Maglio, Linda Hratko and Keenan Deutsch (retired) received the Edison Patent Award that year.

Adsorbents are used to remove impurities, such as those found in petrochemicals. High-value petrochemicals, especially plastics, are produced from organic compounds such as ethylene and propylene. These compounds often contain arsine and phosphine, which can contaminate catalysts used in downstream processing. In process materials with highly active ingredients, some adsorbents containing lead as the main component will be used. BASF offers a wide range of adsorbents, including the new lead-free adsorbent PuriStar® R9-PAR S3.

Katrin, Vice President Catalyst Research, BASF AG Dr. Friese said: “Chemical innovation has become increasingly important in bringing sustainable solutions to market. I would like to congratulate BASF’s New Jersey team on this great success. This success fully demonstrates that with the ingenuity of our researchers, we can The existing product portfolio can always be further optimized.”

BASF is actively developing its product portfolio to provide more sustainable solutions to meet the growing global market demand for sustainable standards in chemical production. Lead-free sorbents are an innovation in petrochemical processing, providing an environmentally friendly solution that meets purity standards for efficient conversion of materials and polymers.

Dr. Wei Guohui, Vice President Catalysts Global Chemical Markets, BASF, said: “Sustainability is one of the focuses of BASF’s Chemical Catalysts and Adsorbents business. Our state-of-the-art innovative solutions will ensure that customers use harmless materials in their production processes. Improve production efficiency and achieve maximum output, thereby creating value.”

The New Jersey Research and Development Council established the Edison Patent Award more than 40 years ago to honor Thomas Edison, who lived in New Jersey and conducted research at his laboratory here. The annual award recognizes New Jersey's top inventors and research institutions who continue to drive innovation and position New Jersey as a global innovator. The committee's research team selects patent winners based on the importance of the research problem, innovative approach, socioeconomic value and commercial impact.
