摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of light weight olefins comprising olefins having from 2 to 3 carbon atoms per molecule from an oxygenate feedstock. The process comprises passing the oxygenate feedstock to an oxygenate conversion zone containing a metal alumino phosphate catalyst to produce a light weight olefin stream. A propylene stream and/or mixed butylene is fractionated from said light weight olefin stream and a medium weight C4 to C7 stream is cracked in a separate olefin cracking reactor to enhance the yield of ethylene and propylene products.

摘要:
A multistep hydrocarbon conversion process for the production of ethers including methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) from light paraffins and alcohols is disclosed. A mixture of C.sub.4 isoparaffins, normal paraffins, an etherification recycle and butane isomerization effluent enter a deisobutanizer column. Normal paraffins withdrawn from the fractionator are isomerized and returned to the fractionator, and isoparaffins are withdrawn from the fractionator and dehydrogenated. The resulting olefins enter an etherification zone for reaction of isobutene with a C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 alcohol. Unreacted paraffins and olefins comprise a portion of the etherification effluent entering the deisobutanizer. After separation for recovery of the ether product, unreacted paraffins and olefins are passed through a dehydrogenation zone for saturation of the olefins and then returned to the deisobutanizer column. Normal butanes are withdrawn as a sidecut from the deisobutanizer. The sidecut passes to an isomerization zone and a mixture of isobutane and normal butane is recycled to the deisobutanizer. In a highly preferred embodiment, spent catalyst from the isomerization zone fulfills the catalyst requirement of the dehydrogenation zone.

A hydrocarbon conversion process is disclosed which may be used to produce high purity isobutylene and/or tertiary butyl alcohol and methyl tertiary butyl ether. A mixed C.sub.4 feed stream is divided into two portions with a first portion being passed through a hydration zone to produce the tertiary butyl alcohol. The remaining hydrocarbons withdrawn from the hydration zone and the second portion of the feed stream are changed to an etherification zone. The unconverted hydrocarbons exiting the etherification zone may be subjected to isomerization and/or dehydrogenation to produce additional isobutylene. The high purity isobutylene is obtained by dehydrating the tertiary butyl alcohol.

A method of converting methanol feedstock to olefins is provided and includes contacting the methanol feedstock in a first conversion zone with a catalyst at reaction conditions effective to produce a first reaction zone effluent comprising DME, unreacted methanol and water; cooling the first reaction zone effluent to separate DME as a first vapor product from the first reaction zone effluent and to form a first aqueous stream comprising water, unreacted methanol, soluble DME and oxygenates; contacting the first vapor product in a second conversion zone with a catalyst at reaction conditions effective to produce a second reaction zone effluent comprising light olefins, unreacted DME, water and oxygenates; cooling the second reaction zone effluent to separate the light olefins and the unreacted DME as a second vapor product from the second reaction zone effluent and to form a second aqueous stream comprising water, soluble DME and oxygenates; compressing the unreacted DME and the light olefins; separating DME from the light olefins with an aqueous absorbing liquid to produce substantially DME free olefins product and a third aqueous stream comprising the absorbing liquid, absorbed DME, soluble oxygenates and hydrocarbons; feeding at least a portion of the first, second and/or third aqueous streams into a stripper and stripping out and recovering the methanol, DME, soluble oxygenates and hydrocarbons as an overhead vapor product and a fourth aqueous stream comprising substantially clean water as a bottoms liquid product; and recycling at least a portion of the overhead vapor product to the first conversion zone and/or to the second conversion zone.
摘要:
The average propylene cycle selectivity of an oxygenate to propylene (OTP) process using a dual-function oxygenate conversion catalyst is substantially enhanced by the use of a combination of: 1) moving bed reactor technology in the hydrocarbon synthesis portion of the OTP flow scheme in lieu of the fixed bed technology of the prior art; 2) a hydrothermally stabilized and dual-functional catalyst system comprising a molecular sieve having dual-function capability dispersed in a phosphorus-modified alumina matrix containing labile phosphorus and/or aluminum anions; and 3) a catalyst on-stream cycle time of 400 hours or less. These provisions stabilize the catalyst against hydrothermal deactivation and hold the build-up of coke deposits on the catalyst to a level which does not substantially degrade dual-function catalyst activity, oxygenate conversion and propylene selectivity, thereby enabling maintenance of average propylene cycle yield near or at essentially start-of-cycle levels.

摘要:
Processes for the production of ethers from alcohols and isoolefins are disclosed. Isoolefins having four to five carbon atoms per molecule are combined with a monohydroxy alcohol having from one to five carbon atoms per molecule and with a recycle stream comprising alcohol and water to form an etherification zone feed stream which is passed through an etherification zone to produce the desired ether. The effluent from the etherification zone is separated into an ether product and an aqueous product containing unreacted alcohol which is recycled to provide a portion of the etherification zone feed stream. Distillation can be employed to separate the effluent from the etherification zone into a bottoms product stream, comprising the ether, a distillate product comprising other hydrocarbons and the above-mentioned recycle stream. When producing ethyl-tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE), azeotropic grade ethanol, i.e., about 5 vol. % water, is preferably utilized. The utilization of the alcohol/water recycle stream can obviate the need for additional alcohol recovery from the distillate product.

A multistep hydrocarbon conversion process for the production of ethers including methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) from light paraffins and alcohols is disclosed. A mixture of C.sub.4 isoparaffins, normal paraffins, an etherification recycle and butane isomerization effluent enter a deisobutanizer column. Normal paraffins withdrawn from the fractionator are isomerized and returned to the fractionator, and isoparaffins are withdrawn from the fractionator and dehyrogenated. The resulting olefins enter an etherification zone for reaction of isobutene with a C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 alcohol. Unreacted paraffins and olefins comprise the etherification effluent entering the deisobutanizer. Normal butanes and olefins are withdrawn as a sidecut from the deisobutanizer. Hydrogenation of the sidecut saturates any olefins contained therein which would interfere with the isomerization of normal butanes. The saturated sidecut passes to an isomerization zone and a mixture of isobutane and normal butane is recycled to the deisobutanizer. In a highly perferred embodiment, spent catalyst from the isomerization zone fulfills the catalyst requirement of the dehydrogenation zone.
摘要:
Carbonyl compounds (e.g. acetone and acetaldehyde) are often present as impurities in oxygenated organic liquids such as acetic acid made by the carbonylation of methanol or in phenol produced by the oxidation of cumene. These impurities can render petrochemical products unsuitable for long-term storage or otherwise adversely affect downstream processing operations. It has now been found that detrimental carbonyl impurities can be easily removed from oxygenated organic liquids by contact with resins having amine functional groups.
摘要:
Phenol is produced from a hydrocarbon feedstock using a process combination offering unexpected synergy. Benzene is produced from the hydrocarbon feedstock using a highly selective aromatization catalyst which provides substantial quantities of high-purity hydrogen. The hydrogen is converted to hydrogen peroxide, which in turn is used to convert the benzene to phenol in high yield.
