摘要:
A process for selective hydrogenation of hydrocarbons is presented. The process uses a catalyst to selectively hydrogenate acetylenes and diolefins to increase the monoolefins in a product stream. The catalyst in the process includes a layered structure with an inert inner core and an outer layer bonded to the inner core, where the outer layer is a metal oxide and has at least two metals deposited on the outer layer.

One exemplary embodiment can be a process for facilitating a transfer of a metal catalyst component from at least one donor particle to at least one recipient particle in a catalytic naphtha reforming unit. The process can include transferring an effective amount of the metal catalyst component from the at least one donor particle to the at least one recipient particle under conditions to effect such transfer to improve a conversion of a hydrocarbon feed.

A selective hydrogenation process and a layered catalyst composition for use in the selective hydrogenation process are disclosed. The process is useful for the selective hydrogenation of diolefins having from about 8 to about 19 carbon atoms per molecule to monoolefins.
摘要:
A process for the alkylation of aromatics with olefins using a solid catalyst is disclosed, wherein the olefin ratio and/or the maximum olefin concentration in the alkylation catalyst bed is maintained less than an upper limit. Such operation can decrease the catalyst deactivation rate and the formation of diphenylalkanes. This invention is applicable to processes for the production of a wide variety of commercially important alkylated aromatics, including ethylbenzene and cumene.

An improved catalyst and process are disclosed for the selective disproportionation of toluene. The process uses a zeolitic catalyst which is oil-dropped in an aluminum phosphate binder and has an X-ray diffraction pattern showing characteristic intensities at specified Bragg angles. Optionally, the catalyst is selectively precoked prior to toluene disproportionation. The catalyst and process provide improved selectivity for the production of paraxylene.

Reduction of the amount of 1,1-diphenylethane and heavier polyalkylated benzenes produced in the formation of ethylbenzene by alkylation of benzene with ethylene can be effected by treating a non-templated zeolite beta at thermal oxidation conditions. The precursor zeolite beta contains at least 0.5% carbon which represents a combination of coke and high molecular organic compounds which are not removed by an extended benzene wash at about 200-250.degree. C. The improvement leads to a product containing less than 0.3 weight percent 1,1-diphenylethane relative to ethylbenzene.
摘要:
This invention relates to a catalytic reaction of an aromatic stream wherein a guard bed for the removal of nitrogen compounds from the aromatic hydrocarbon stream comprising the nitrogen compounds is provided to contact the hydrocarbon stream with a selective adsorbent having an average pore size less than about 5.5 Angstroms to produce a treated feedstream essentially free of the nitrogen compound. The selective adsorbent is a molecular sieve selected from the group consisting of pore closed zeolite 4A, zeolite 4A, zeolite 5A, silicalite, F-silicalite, ZSM-5 and mixtures thereof. The invention provides significant cost advantages when the feedstream is subject to slugs or surges in levels of nitrogen compounds which can be detrimental to downstream acid catalysts as found in aromatic conversion reactions.
摘要:
Forms of zeolite Omega synthesized by hydrothermal crystallization from reaction systems containing alkali metal cations and organic templating agents, modified by calcination in air, ion-exchange, steam calcination and treatment with a low-pH aqueous ammonium ion solution, are significantly improved with respect to surface area, catalytic activity and adsorption capacities for large molecular species. A catalyst comprising zeolite Omega is effective for isomerization of aromatics and aliphatics.
摘要:
This invention presents a novel MgAPSO molecular sieve, containing a critical range of magnesium: in the sieve framework and having a small crystallite size, which is particularly active for hydrocarbon conversion. The sieve advantageously is incorporated, along with a platinum-group metal, into a catalyst formulation which is useful for isomerization. When utilized in a process for isomerizing a non-equilibrium mixture of xylenes containing ethylbenzene, a greater yield of para-xylene is obtained compared to prior-art processes.
摘要:
A process is presented for the increasing the yields of aromatics from reforming a hydrocarbon feedstream. The process includes splitting a naphtha feedstream into a light hydrocarbon stream, and a heavier stream having a relatively rich concentration of naphthenes. The heavy stream is reformed to convert the naphthenes to aromatics and the resulting product stream is further reformed with the light hydrocarbon stream to increase the aromatics yields. The process includes passing a catalyst stream in a counter-current flow relative to the hydrocarbon process stream.
