摘要:
A process for producing terephthalic acid and/or dimethyl terephthalate includes contacting a toluene-containing reaction stream with a first catalyst under toluene disproportionation conditions to produce an intermediate product stream of para-xylene with negligible ortho-xylene. The first catalyst includes a crystalline molecular sieve which has an ortho-xylene diffusion rate of at least 50 minutes. The first catalyst can be modified by selectivation with a silicon compound or carbon compound. The intermediate product stream, without need for para-xylene purification, is oxidized to terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate.
摘要:
A process is described for increasing the efficiency of para-xylene production using a two stage isomerization sequence. In the first stage of the process, a C9+ aromatics feedstock is subjected to ethylbenzene conversion and xylene isomerization. Non-C¿8? aromatics are removed from the effluent, which is then processed in a second stage of the process to remove para-xylene and isomerize the para-xylene depleted effluent. The effluent from the second stage isomerization unit is then recycled into the inlet of the second stage of the process and a slip stream from the para-xylene separator is recycled to the feedstock and to the effluent of the ethylbenzene conversion unit. In this way, the production of para-xylene is maximized. In a preferred embodiment, toluene is co-fed into the feedstock to minimize the loss of xylenes during the ethylbenzene conversion reaction.

A process is provided for selective catalytic conversion of certain hydrocarbon feedstocks to product rich in para-dialkyl substituted benzenes. The catalyst employed in the process comprises a crystalline material having the structure of PSH-3, MCM-22 or MCM-49, or a mixture of said crystalline materials, said crystalline material having been treated with a selectivating agent, such as a silicon compound, which decomposes to oxide or non-oxide ceramic or solid-state carbon species.
摘要:
A mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons, comprising ethylbenzene and at least one xylene, is isomerized using a two component catalyst system to convert the ethylbenzene to compounds that may be removed from the aromatic hydrocarbon stream and to produce a product stream wherein the para-xylene concentration is approximately equal to the equilibrium ratio of the para-isomer. The first catalyst comprises an intermediate pore size zeolite that is effective for ethylbenzene conversion. The first catalyst is preferably silica-bound. The second catalyst comprises an intermediate pore size zeolite, which further has a small crystal size and which is effective to catalyze xylene isomerization. Each of the catalysts of this invention may contain one or more hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component.
