Abstract:
A catalyst is prepared by heating the reaction product of CrO.sub.3 and tert-butyl alcohol as catalyst precursor in a hydrocarbon medium in the presence of hydrogen sulfide to convert the catalyst precursor to a solid chromium-containing catalyst. Hydroconversion processes utilizing the catalyst to convert oil, coal, and mixtures thereof are also provided.
Abstract:
Carbonaceous feeds such as hydrocarbonaceous oils and coal are hydroconverted in the presence of a combination of a hydrogen halide and a metal-containing catalyst produced in situ in the feed. The hydrogen halide is present in an amount to provide from about 0.1 to 20 moles of hydrogen halide per atom of the metal constituent of the catalyst to increase the activity of the catalyst.
Abstract:
In the hydroconversion of carbonaceous materials such as hydrocarbonaceous oils and coal or mixtures thereof, in which inorganic poly acids comprising molybdenum or tungsten or salts thereof are used as catalyst precursors which are converted to catalysts, the use of a combination of phosphoric acid and said poly acids or salts thereof as catalyst precursor wherein the amount of phosphoric acid is such as to provide from about 0.5 to about 3.5 atoms of phosphorus per atom of molybdenum or tungsten results in a catalyst having improved activity.
Abstract:
A process for the simultaneous desulfurization and hydroconversion of heavy carbonaceous feeds, including various sulfur-containing heavy petroleum oils, is disclosed. These feedstocks are contacted with potassium sulfide in a conversion zone maintained at elevated temperatures and in the presence of added hydrogen. In this manner, the feeds are substantially desulfurized, and significant upgrading of these feeds is also obtained as demonstrated by decreased Conradson carbon, increased API gravity, and the conversion of substantial portion of the 1,050.degree. F.+ portion of these feeds. In a preferred embodiment, such a process is disclosed employing a combination of potassium sulfide and sodium sulfide, and in particular these processes include procedures for the regeneration of the sulfides and their recycle to the conversion zone.
Abstract:
A heavy hydrocarbonaceous oil is converted to lower boiling products by treatment with hydrogen in the presence of a particulate acidic copper chloride catalyst.
Abstract:
A slurry hydroprocessing process for upgrading a hydrocarbon feedstock containing nitrogen and sulfur using bulk multimetallic catalyst comprised of at least one Group VIII non-noble metal and at least two Group VIB metals wherein the ratio of Group VIB metal to Group VIII metal is about 10:1 to about 1:10.
Abstract:
An integrated fluid coking/paraffin dehydrogenation process. The fluid coking unit is comprised of a fluid coker reactor and a heater with hot solids recycling between the coker reactor and the heater. A light paraffin stream is introduced into the line wherein the hot particles are recycled to the coking zone. The hot particles act to catalyze the dehydrogenation of the paraffins to olefins.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method which combines catalytic cracking and olefin production using a coked catalytic cracking catalyst to dehydrogenate an alkane feed stream and form an olefin rich product stream. Preferably, the coked catalytic cracking catalyst has a carbon content of about 0.2-10 wt. %. The catalyst preferably comprises a crystalline tetrahedral framework oxide component.
Abstract:
A coking process wherein a heavy hydrocarbonaceous chargestock is mixed with a minor amount of coal and preheated to a temperature from about 500.degree. F. up to, but not including, coking temperatures. The pretreated mixture is then reacted in a coking zone at coking conditions.
Abstract:
A fluid coking-gasification process for converting heavy hydrocarbonaceous chargestocks to lower boiling products in which calcium silicate is used to mitigate bogging, slagging, or both. The calcium silicate can be added directly to the heavy hydrocarbonaceous chargestock to mitigate both bogging and slagging or it can be added directly into the gasifier to mitigate slagging.
