摘要:
The present invention relates to a hydrogenation process that may be used in connection with the production of phenol. In the process, a composition comprising: (i) cyclohexylbenzene; and (ii) a hydrogenable component are contacted with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst under hydrogenation conditions. The hydrogenable component can be one or more of an olefin, a ketone or phenol. The hydrogenation catalyst has hydrogenation component and a support.

This invention relates to efficiently regenerating catalyst particles by minimizing the formation of localized “hot spots” and “cold spots” in a regeneration zone. Specifically this invention relates to a method for controlling regenerator temperature in an oxygenates-to-olefins system, comprising the steps of: contacting an oxygenate feed in a reactor with a catalytically effective amount of molecular sieve-containing catalyst under conditions effective for converting said oxygenate to a product containing light olefins and forming a coked catalyst; contacting a portion of the coked catalyst in a regenerator, having a catalyst bed height (Hc), an inlet height (Hi), and an outlet height (Ho), with an oxygen-containing regeneration medium under conditions effective to at least partially regenerate the coked catalyst; and conducting a portion of the catalyst from the regenerator to a catalyst cooler to form a cooled catalyst portion, wherein Ho is greater than Hi.

Processes for polymerizing propylene. About 40 wt% to about 80 wt% propylene monomer, based on total weight of propylene monomer and diluent, and about 20 wt% to about 60 wt% diluent, based on total weight of propylene monomer and diluent, can be fed into a reactor. The propylene monomer can be polymerized in the presence of a metallocene catalyst and an activator within the reactor at a temperature of about 800C or more and a pressure of about 13 MPa or more to produce a polymer product in a homogenous system. About 20 wt% to about 76 wt% (preferably About 28 wt% to about 76 wt%) propylene monomer, based on total weight of the propylene monomer, diluent, and polymer product, can be present at the reactor exit at steady state conditions.

The present invention is directed to a hydrocarbon conversion apparatus and process. The apparatus comprises the following: a plurality of riser reactors, each having a first end into which a catalyst is fed, a second end through which the catalyst can exit, and optionally a center axis extending there between. The apparatus also includes a separation zone having a plurality of inlets, each inlet not being oriented along the center axes of the riser reactors, the separation zone being provided to separate the catalyst from products of a reaction conducted in the hydrocarbon conversion apparatus. A plurality of deviating members are also provided, each deviating member being in fluid communication between the second end of a respective riser reactor and a respective inlet of the separation zone. The apparatus also includes a catalyst retention zone provided to contain catalyst, which is fed to the riser reactors. A catalyst return is in fluid communication between the separation zone and the catalyst retention zone.

A reactor apparatus and related method for controlling at least one process variable in a circulating fluid bed oxygenates to olefins reactor system comprising a riser are provided. The process variable is selected from at least one of (i) space velocity, (ii) average reaction temperature, (iii) conversion of reactant, and (iv) average coke level on catalyst. Typically, a corresponding set point for at least one process variable is selected from (1) reactant feed rate, (2) feed enthalpy, (3) reactor temperature-related function, e.g., mid-temperature or rate of temperature rise along a portion of the reactor, and (4) catalyst hold-up in the riser of the reactor. A corresponding manipulated variable is selected from (a) feed flow control valve(s), (b) feed preheat rate, (c) activity of the catalyst in the reactor, and (d) amount of catalyst in the reaction zone. The combination of measured and manipulated variables described here allows for smooth, stable control of the reactor at the optimum performance level.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for converting an oxygenate feedstock to an olefin product. In particular, the method incorporates the use of a silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve catalyst in the manufacture of ethylene and propylene. The method includes contacting an oxygenate-containing feedstock with a silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve catalyst to form the olefin-containing product in a fluidized bed reactor apparatus including at least a reaction zone and a recirculation zone. Certain ratios of the mass of catalyst in the reaction zone to that of the sum of the mass of catalyst in both the reaction zone and the recirculation zone within the reactor apparatus are specified.
