Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for reducing the content of sulphide-type compounds of formula R1‑S‑R2, with R1 and R2 selected from methyl (CH 3 ) and ethyl (C 2 H 5 ) radicals, of a petrol containing diolefins, monoolefins and sulphur, in which: A) brought into contact in a reactor are the petrol as a mixture with a portion of the light petrol cut recycled from step C) and hydrogen and with a catalyst A comprising at least one metal from group VIb and at least one non-noble metal from group VIII which are deposited on a support, so as to produce an effluent having a content of diolefins and a content of sulphide-type compounds of formula R1‑S‑R2, with R1 and R2 selected from methyl (CH 3 ) and ethyl (C 2 H 5 ) radicals that are lower than that of the initial petrol; B) the effluent resulting from step A) is sent to a fractionating column in order to separate at the top a light petrol cut containing hydrocarbons having less than 6 carbon atoms per molecule and at the bottom of the column a heavy petrol cut containing hydrocarbons having 6 and more than 6 carbon atoms per molecule; C) a portion of the light petrol cut resulting from step B) is recycled in the reactor of step A) with a recycle ratio of between 0.1 and 0.7.
Abstract:
A process for the deep desulfurization of a heavy pyrolysis gasoline to very low levels of organic sulfur, e.g., 30 ppmv or less, with minimal octane number loss through aromatics saturation. The deep desulfurization is accomplished by contacting the heavy pyrolysis gasoline feedstock, partially in liquid and partially in gaseous phase, with a hydrogen treat gas containing a minimum H2S level in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst in a one or two reactor system operated in trickle flow, using a low temperature, moderate pressure operating condition.

Abstract:
Presented is an improvement to a previous invention involving the catalytic hydrogenation of the C2 to C5 and heavier acetylenes and dienes in a thermally cracked feed stream without significantly hydrogenating the C2 and C3 olefins. The improvement involves the use of a fixed bed hydrogenation reactor system in combination with a modified version of the catalytic distillation unit used in the prior art. The modification to the catalytic distillation unit involves improvement of the liquid recycle scheme. The fixed bed reactors combined with the modified catalytic distillation allows for 100% conversion of acetylene and helps to maintain high conversion of the other dienes and acetylenes with no ethylene or propylene conversion under a variety of conditions. These condition variations include but are not limited to the feed diene and acetylene composition, the mol% carbon monoxide in the feed, and catalyst deactivation. With catalytic distillation alone, complete conversion of the acetylene as stated above can not be achieved without ethylene loss, nor would satisfactory operation and control be possible under the variety of conditions experienced during a commercial operation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing low-sulphur petrol from an initial petrol containing sulphur compounds comprising the following steps: a) the selective hydrogenation of the non-aromatic polyunsaturated compounds present in the initial petrol; b) increasing the molecular weight of the light sulphur products that were initially present in the petrol at the beginning of step b); c) the alkylation of at least part of the sulpur compounds present in the product resulting from step b); d) the fractionation of the petrol resulting from step c) into at least two fractions, one of said fractions being practically free of sulphur compounds and the other containing a larger proportion of sulphur compounds (heavy petrol); e) the catalytic treatment of the heavy petrol to transform the sulphur compounds in conditions that allow the, at least partial, decomposition or hydrogenation of said sulphur compounds.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Erzeugung eines Vorproduktes für die Benzolgewinnung aus Kokerei-Rohbenzol, wobei das Kokerei-Rohbenzol in einer Verdampfungsverfahrensstufe (1) mittels einer Verdampfungskolonne (2) unter Bildung eines Verdampfungsrückstandes verdampft wird, wobei das verdampfte Kokerei-Rohbenzol mit Wasserstoff in einer an die Verdampfungsverfahrensstufe (1) angeschlossenen Druckraffinierverfahrensstufe (3) zu dem Vorprodukt umgesetzt wird, wobei der Verdampfungsrückstand aus der Verdampfungsverfahrensstufe (1) abgezogen und in einer Destillationsverfahrensstufe (4) in eine niedrigsiedende und eine hochsiedende Fraktion zerlegt wird und wobei die hochsiedende Fraktion als Sumpfstrom abgeführt wird. Dabei wird der Mengenstrom an abgezogenem Verdampfungsrückstand nach Maßgabe der Konzentration von im Kokerei-Rohbenzol enthaltenen Polymerisatbildnern im Bereich 6 % bis 40 % des Mengenstroms Kokerei-Rohbenzols eingestellt. Die niedrigsiedende Fraktion des Verdampfungsrückstandes aus der Destillationsverfahrensstufe (4) wird abgezogen, kondensiert und dem Kopf der Verdampfungskolonne (2) als Rückfluß zugeführt. In der Destillationsverfahrensstufe (4) wird ein Parameterduplet Gasdruck/Temperatur eingestellt mit der Maßgabe, daß der Sumpfstrom praktisch frei von aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen mit weniger als 9 C-Atomen ist.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un procédé d'hydrogénation, notamment d'hydrogénation sélective des dioléfines dans les essences issues du vapocraquage ou d'autres procédés de craquage, dans lequel le catalyseur est réparti en plusieurs lits. Elle est caractérisée en ce que les différents lits de catalyseur ne sont pas mis en oeuvre en même temps mais successivement, et selon un ordre déterminé.
