摘要:
A process for the regeneration of a deactivated zeolite beta catalyst such as rare earth promoted zeolite beta catalyst deactivated in the course of an aromatic alkylation reaction. A zeolite beta conversion catalyst deactivated with the deposition of coke is heated to a temperature in excess of 300° C. in an oxygen-free environment. An oxidative regeneration gas is supplied to the catalyst bed with oxidation of a portion of a relatively porous coke component to produce an exotherm moving through the catalyst bed. At least one of the temperature and oxygen content of the gas is progressively increased to oxidize a porous component of the coke. Regeneration gas is supplied having at least one of an increased oxygen content or increased temperature to oxidize a less porous refractory component of the coke. The regeneration process is completed by passing an inert gas through the catalyst bed at a reduced temperature.

The present invention provides a method for preparing an asphalt and thermoplastic elastomer composition. The process comprises heating an asphalt cut in a stirred tank to a temperature sufficient to allow the stirring of the asphalt in the tank. A thermoplastic elastomer or rubber is added to the asphalt while continuing to stir the asphalt. The mixture is stirred at a speed and for a period of time sufficient to increase the distribution of the elastomer into the asphalt. The stirring speed is reduced and the temperature is increased to add crosslinking agents to the tank. Stirring is continued for a period of time sufficient to improve the distribution of the crosslinking agent dispersion in the asphalt. Crosslinking agents include compositions of mercaptobenzothiazole, zinc oxide and elemental sulfur; compositions of mercaptobenzothiazole, zinc oxide, and mixed polythiomorpholine; and compositions of zinc 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and dithiodimorpholine.

摘要:
A method is provided for conversion of heavy alkylaromatic compounds, particularly those in the C8-C12 range, into more valuable aromatics of benzene, toluene and xylene utilizing a toluene disproportionation unit containing a nickel, palladium or platinum-modified mordenite catalyst. The method allows large amounts of these heavy alkylaromatic compounds to be processed without adversely affecting catalyst activity or catalyst life. This is accomplished by introducing the heavy alkylaromatic compounds into the reactor at constant reaction severity conditions and maintaining those conditions during conversion.

摘要:
Vapor phase alkylation of an aromatic substrate in a multi-stage alkylation reaction zone having a plurality of series-connected catalyst beds providing mixing zones between adjacent catalyst beds. An aromatic substrate and a C2-C4 alkylating agent is supplied to an inlet side of a gas phase reaction zone causing vapor phase alkylation of the aromatic substrate as the aromatic substrate and the alkylating agent flow through the reaction zone from one catalyst bed to the next. A quench fluid comprising one or both of the aromatic substrate and the alkylating agent is supplied into the interior of the mixing zone through a plurality of flow paths. One portion of the flow paths is directed upwardly and another portion downwardly within the mixing zone. The quench fluid is supplied to the mixing zone through a plurality of dispersion channels spaced laterally from one another.

Ethylbenzene is produced by alkylation over monoclinic silicalite catalysts having a weak acid site concentration of less than 50 micromoles per gram. A Feed stock containing benzene and ethylene is applied to an alkylation reaction zone having at least one catalyst bed containing a monoclinic silicalite catalyst having a weak acid site concentration of less than 50 micromoles per gram. The alkylation reaction zone is operated at temperature and pressure conditions in which the benzene is in a gaseous phase to cause gas-phase alkylation of the aromatic substrate in the presence of the silicalite catalysts to produce an alkylation product. The alkylation product is then withdrawn from the reaction zone for separation and recovery.

Processes and apparatus are disclosed for the catalytic purification of styrene monomer by hydrogenating the phenylacetylene contaminant therein to styrene in a catalytic bed using multiple hydrogen injection; dilution of the hydrogen by a diluent such as nitrogen; mixing the hydrogen with a catalyst-selectivity improver such as carbon monoxide; using ethylbenzene dehydrogenation ventgas to supply hydrogen; and, using a multiple-catalyst-bed-reactor, or multiple reactors, each with a single catalyst bed. One preferred phenylacetylene reduction catalyst used is palladium on an alumina carrier.
