Abstract:
Process for the conversion of ethylene into light alpha olefins, mainly 1-butene, 1-hexene and 1-octene, in which the ethylene is contacted with a catalyst obtained by reacting a performed mixture of alkyl zirconate and ether with a chlorine or bromine-containing aluminum compound.
Abstract:
Process for synthesizing 1-butene by dimerization of ethylene, in the presence of a catalyst formed by reacting, in a hydrocarbon medium, a trialkylaluminum with a mixture of an alkyl titanate with an ether. The activity and the selectivity are improved when adding the ether to a pre-formed mixture of alkyl titanate with trialkylaluminum.
Abstract:
Process for the catalytic synthesis of methane by reaction of carbon oxides with hydrogen in the presence of liquid water, wherein the catalyst is formed of a carrier consisting either of coal or charcoal, preferably of plant origin, or of alumina-silica, on which is deposited ruthenium, for example by impregnation with ruthenium acetylacetonate, said catalyst being preferably used as particles suspended in water.
Abstract:
Methane is obtained by reacting hydrogen with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst manufactured by reacting a nickel compound with a reducing aluminum compound in the presence of a titanium compound. The aluminum compound is preferably a trialkylaluminum compound and the atomic ratio of aluminum to (nickel + titanium) is preferably from 1/1 to 20/1.
Abstract:
Methane is manufactured by reacting hydrogen with carbon monoxide in an inert liquid medium comprising a catalyst obtained by reacting a nickel compound with a reducing aluminum compound.
Abstract:
An improved catalytic composition for oligomerization, in particular dimerization, of monoolefins comprises the product resulting from bringing the following three constituents into contact in any order: a) at least one divalent nickel compound; b) at least one hydrocarbylaluminium dihalide, optionally enriched with an aluminium trihalide; and c) at least one organic Bronsted acid; the catalytic composition being pre-conditioned in a solvent before using it for oligomerization.
Abstract:
A process is described for carrying out olefin oligomerisation in two catalysis steps of different types, using an organic feed containing at least one olefin. The cut to be treated, containing at least one olefin (Cn), is introduced into a first reaction zone where, in a first step, it undergoes catalytic oligomerisation either of the homogeneous liquid phase type, or of the heterogeneous type with a solid support. The effluent produced is generally sent to a heat exchanger traversed by a cold liquid, the effluent thus being cooled before being sent to a second reaction zone where it undergoes catalytic oligomerisation in a liquid—liquid two-phase medium, the invention being characterized in that at least an ethylenic hydrocarbon containing 3 to 5 carbon atoms per molecule is added to the inlet to the second reaction zone.
Abstract:
A process for treatment of metathesis catalysts for olefins comprises sending the particles of catalysts through at least one vibratory helicoidal conveyor, subject the particles over at least a portion of their path and preferably over a large portion of their path to a temperature profile, and bringing the particles into contact with at least one fluid over at least a portion of their path. A vibratory helicoidal lifting device (12) makes it possible to regenerate metathesis catalysts for olefins: it comprises a combustion zone (14) and a calcination zone (15), as well as a preheating zone, a zone for stripping hydrocarbons and a zone for cooling the catalyst.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for converting olefinic C5 cuts by metathesis using an improved catalyst containing rhenium, cesium, and delta alumina. The preferred catalysts contains at least one rhenium compound deposited on a support principally composed of alumina, treated at a temperature of more than 750° C., and modified by at least one cesium compound. Thus the duration of the cycle between two regeneration operations is substantially increased.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a plant for the conversion of an olefinic C.sub.4 or C.sub.5 cut to an alkyl-tertiobutylether or alkyl-tertioamylether and to propylene, by metathesis. The plant comprises four successive stages: (1) selective hydrogenation of the diolefins with simultaneous isomerisation of the alpha olefins to internal olefins; (2) etherification of the isoolefins; (3) elimination of oxygen-containing impurities; (4) metathesis of internal olefins with ethylene. Application to C.sub.4 and C.sub.5 steam cracking units.
