Abstract:
The present invention is based on the use of a two-step hydrocracking process for the production of naphtha, comprising a step of hydrogenation placed downstream of the second hydrocracking step, the hydrogenation step treating the effluent resulting from the second hydrocracking step in the presence of a specific hydrogenation catalyst. Furthermore, the hydrogenation step and the second hydrocracking step are performed under specific operating conditions and in particular under quite specific temperature conditions.

The present invention describes a process for hydrocracking at least one hydrocarbon feed in which at least 50% by weight of the compounds have an initial boiling point of more than 300° C. and a final boiling point of less than 540° C. using at least one catalyst comprising at least one metal from group VIB and/or at least one metal from group VIII of the periodic classification of the elements and a support comprising at least one zeolite containing at least one series of channels the opening of which is defined by a ring containing 12 oxygen atoms (12MR), and at least one binder, said support being prepared from a highly dispersible alumina gel, said hydrocracking process being operated at a temperature in the range 200° C. to 480° C., at a total pressure in the range 1 MPa to 25 MPa, with a ratio of the volume of hydrogen to the volume of hydrocarbon feed in the range 80 to 5000 litres per litre and with an hourly space velocity (HSV), defined as the ratio of the volume flow rate of liquid hydrocarbon feed to the volume of catalyst charged into the reactor, in the range 0.1 to 50 h−1.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for transformation of lignocellulosic biomass or cellulose using in a simultaneous manner an original combination of at least two homogeneous catalysts and one or more heterogeneous catalyst(s). The use of these catalysts makes it possible to obtain mono-oxidized or poly-oxidized upgradable products directly and to limit the formation of non-upgradable products. Non-upgradable products are defined as soluble and non-soluble humins, i.e., products of high molecular weight obtained from undesirable condensation reactions of sugars and their derivatives.
Abstract:
A process for isomerizing an aromatic cut containing at least one aromatic compound containing eight carbon atoms per molecule, which includes bringing the aromatic cut into contact with a catalyst containing a zeolite with structure type EUO, which catalyst has been prepared by obtaining a zeolite with structure type EUO having an overall Si/Al atomic ratio in the range 5 to 45, a sodium content in the range 500 to 5000 ppm by weight, with a Na/Al ratio in the range 5% to 20% by mole, and thereafter performing the following: i) preparing a support by shaping the zeolite with a matrix such that the zeolite content is in the range 8% to 15% by weight with respect to the support; ii) depositing at least one metal from group VIII of the periodic classification of the elements onto the support or onto the zeolite; wherein the catalyst contains a final sodium content of 75 to 600 ppm by weight.
