摘要:
Disclosed is an apparatus and process for controlling residence time in a reaction zone by adjusting the effect of reactor volume by varying the elevation of feed introduction or the space velocity in a fluidized catalytic conversion reactor. Changing effective volume results in controllable residence time and/or space velocity. The effect of reactor volume may be changed by altering the space velocity the feed distributor elevation, diluent flow rate or the number of reaction subsections to which feed is distributed.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for converting a feed containing oxygenates to olefins and comprises the following steps: providing a feed including an oxygenate; contacting the feed in a reactor apparatus with a catalyst including a molecular sieve, the contacting taking place under conditions effective to convert the oxygenate to a product including a light olefin, the conditions including a gas superficial velocity of at least two meters per second at least one point in the reaction zone; and recirculating a first portion of the catalyst to recontact the feed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for catalytically converting a feedstock comprising an oxygenate to olefins utilizing a heat exchange device to transfer heat from at least a portion of an effluent of an oxygenate conversion reactor to the feedstock to cause at least a portion of the feedstock to vaporize.
摘要:
A method for converting oxygenates to light olefins. The method comprises the steps of (a) contacting, in a reactor, a feedstock containing one or several oxygenates, with a molecular sieve catalyst under conditions effective to form a product containing one or several light olefins and by-products, said contacting causing carbonaceous deposits to form on at least a portion of said molecular sieve catalyst, thereby producing deactivated catalyst; (b) removing a portion of said deactivated catalyst from said reactor; (c) regenerating said portion of said deactivated catalyst to remove at least a portion of said carbonaceous deposits from said deactivated catalyst removed from said reactor, thereby forming an at least partially regenerated catalyst; and (d) exposing at least a portion of said at least partially regenerated catalyst to by-products obtained at step (a).

Methods for preparing and an improved slurry catalyst feed system for heavy oil upgraded are provided. The catalyst feed system comprises a fresh slurry catalyst and a deoiled spent catalyst in an amount of at least 10% the catalyst feed system. The deoiled spent catalyst is a slurry catalyst that has been used in a hydroprocessing operation with more than 10% but less than 80% of original catalytic activity, and containing less than 10 wt. % soluble hydrocarbons as unconverted heavy oil feed. In one embodiment, the deoiled spent catalyst is first treated with a solution containing at least one of plain water, a mineral acid, an oxidizing agent, and combinations thereof to reduce the concentration of at least one metal contaminant in the deoiled spent catalyst by at least 40%.
