摘要:
A process for producing lubricant oils of low pour point and high viscosity index by first carrying out a partial dewaxing of a lubricant base stock in an initial catalytic dewaxing operation, followed by a selective dewaxing step. The initial catalytic dewaxing step is carried out using a large pore, high silica zeolite dewaxing catalyst such as high silica Y or zeolite beta which dewaxes by isomerizing the waxy components of the base stock to less waxy brance chain isoparaffins but the severity of the operation is controlled so as to effect only a partial removal of the waxy components. Further removal of the waxy components is effected during the subsequent dewaxing step which is selective for the removal of the more waxy n-paraffin components, leaving the branched chain isoparaffins which contribute to a high VI in the product. The selective dewaxing step may be either a solvent, e.g. MEK dewaxing operation or a catalytic dewaxing using a highly shape selective zeolite such as ZSM-22 or ZSM-23. The severity of the initial catalytic dewaxing operation may be controlled so as to effect a net increase in the content of isoparaffins and because of the selective nature of the solvent dewaxing step, this increased isoparaffins concentration may be retained, producing a product of high VI. The pour point of the feedstock is preferably reduced during the initial catalytic dewaxing step to a value which is no lower than 10.degree. F. and preferably no lower than 20.degree. F., above the target pour point for the products. Generally, this will entail a reduction of at least 10.degree. F. and preferably at least 20.degree. F. in the pour point of the feed.
摘要:
An FCC or fluidized catalytic cracking process and apparatus for converting heavy metals laden crudes is disclosed. The heavy feed, conventional catalyst and an additive or vanadium getter contact the feed in a riser reactor. The additive is segregated from conventional FCC catalyst upstream of the conventional FCC regenerator. An elutriating, upflow riser reactor may be used with a coarse, rapidly settling getter. A fine, slowly settling getter may be used, with getter segregation achieved by using an elutriating cyclone on the riser outlet, an elutriating catalyst stripper, a sieve, or the like. The spent getter may be used once through, regenerated in a separate getter regenerator, or used as a source of fuel. Alumina and sponge coke are preferred getters.

A process is described for preparing a binder-free Zeolite Beta containing catalyst which has a highly dispersed noble metal incorporated into the framework. The process comprises steaming Zeolite Beta, followed by noble metal incorporation and calcination. The present invention is also directed to an improved calcination process.

摘要:
An improved method which provides for an extended cycle length in catalytic lube dewaxing of residual lube oil feedstocks and easier catalyst regeneration. The method may incorporate catalytically dewaxing a feedstock in a fixed bed reactor with or without product recycle, or a series of reactors with interreactor separation of vapors from liquids. Improved performance is achieved by operating the reactor at a temperature between about 490.degree. and about 620.degree. F., employing a high activity crystalline zeolite catalyst having an alpha value between about 50 and about 900 based on the zeolite and a space velocity sufficiently low to produce a dewaxed effluent of desired pour point and to maintain an average catalyst aging rate of less than about 2.degree. F. per day. This relatively low temperature operation allows catalyst performance to be restored by simple hydrogen reactivation.

F. with a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a Constraint Index of from 1 to 12 and a silica-to-alumina ratio of at least 12. The crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite is composited with an inorganic oxide, such as alumina. The composite also containing a hydrogenation metal and the catalyst composite has a maximum diffusion distance of less than 0.025 inch.
摘要:
A combined process for treating heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks, such as resids that minimizes coke production and maximizes naphtha production, comprising the steps of thermally treating the feedstocks, in the absence of an added catalyst and either with or without hydrogen and steam, at a temperature of at least about 750.degree. F. (399.degree. C.) and under a pressure greater than about 400 psig to create significant chemical transformations without causing phase separation and consequent formation of sludge or a coke deposit; topping the thermally treated product to produce a distillate fraction and a bottoms fraction; coking the bottom fraction to produce gas, liquid products, and coke; and finally catalytically cracking the combined distillate fraction and liquid products to recover gas, gasoline, and light distillate products.
摘要:
Conversion of hydrocarbons is conducted over low acidity zeolites such as the sodium form of zeolite ZSM-5 to yield products like those produced by hydrocracking but with substantially decreased proportion of light hydrocarbons having one to four carbon atoms. (Sulfiding of sodium zeolites activates such sodium zeolites for the present purpose.) The hydrocarbon conversion is conducted with mixed phase charge (Trickle mode) under hydrogen pressure or with liquid phase charge in a liquid-full reactor.A catalyst composition comprising a metallic hydrogenation catalyst on a refractory support and an alkali metal crystalline zeolite.
