摘要:
This invention relates to the composition, method of making and use of a fluidized catalytic cracking (“FCC”) catalyst that is comprised of a new Y zeolite which exhibits an exceptionally low small mesoporous peak around the 40 Å (angstrom) range as determined by nitrogen adsorption measurements. FCC catalysts made from this new zeolite exhibit improved rates of heavy oil cracking heavy oil bottoms conversions and gasoline conversions. The fluidized catalytic cracking catalysts herein are particularly useful in fluidized catalytic cracking (“FCC”) processes for conversion of heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks such as gas oils and vacuum tower bottoms.

Catalysts for experimentation are produced having a controlled matrix pore structure. The manufacturing process utilizes tape casting in the drying procedure in which a catalyst slurry is cast on a substrate and dried at a temperature of between about 50° C. to 200° C. for a period of time of about 0.1 to 1.0 hour. The dried catalyst particles can be removed from the substrate by several techniques, including scraping, burning, and deforming the substrate material, The resulting catalytic particles can be produced in an amount of about ca. 3 g to 300 g from slurries with volumes between 5 cc to 500 cc, which are suitable for small scale FCC reactors and for high throughput experimentation.

This invention relates to a mesoporous catalytic cracking catalyst, a process for the production of such catalysts, and a process utilizing such catalysts in cracking operations. The mesoporous fluidized catalytic cracking catalyst is selective for minimizing the production of coke and light gas. The catalyst comprises an amorphous, porous matrix having pores ranging in diameter from about 1 Å to about 10 Å and ranging in diameter from about 40 Å to about 500 Å, but substantially free of pores ranging in diameter from about 10 Å to about 40 Å.

A process for producing polypropylene from olefins selectively produced from a catalytically cracked or thermally cracked naphtha stream is disclosed herein. The naphtha stream is contacted with a catalyst containing from about 10 to 50 wt. % of a crystalline zeolite having an average pore diameter less than about 0.7 nanometers at reaction conditions which include temperatures from about 500° C. to 650° C. and a hydrocarbon partial pressure from about 10 to 40 psia. The catalyst may be pre-coked with a carbonaceous feed. Alternatively, the carbonaceous feed used to coke the catalyst may be co-fed with the naphtha feed.
摘要:
A fluid catalytic cracking process for producing relatively low emissions fuels. The feedstock is exceptionally low in nitrogen and aromatics and relatively high in hydrogen. The catalyst is an amorphous silica-alumina or a zeolitic material having a relatively small unit cell size. The feedstock can be characterized as having less than about 50 wppm nitrogen; greater than about 13 wt. % hydrogen; less than about 7.5 wt. % 2+ring aromatic cores; and not more than about 15 wt. % aromatic cores overall.
摘要:
A catalytic cracking catalyst for converting a hydrocarbon feedstock at elevated temperature in the substantial absence of hydrogen, into lower average molecular weight, lower boiling hydrocarbons useful as transportation fuels. The catalyst is a composite of a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite in concentration ranging as high as about 80 percent, based on the total weight of the catalyst, within a mesoporous silica-alumina matrix. The matrix, preferably, is constituted of silica sols modified by alumina and clay and it is characterized as of polymodal pore size distribution, as measured by mercury porosimetry, a first mode wherein at least 75 percent, preferably about 80 percent to 90 percent, of the pore volume measured between 45 Angstroms and 2000 Angstroms is in pores greater than 160 Angstroms in diameter, and a second mode wherein up to about 20 percent of the pore diameters are greater than 100 Angstroms but less than 160 Angstroms in diameter. These catalysts are highly active, and selective in the production of olefins without high coke made. The attrition-resistance of these catalysts, as measured by the Davison Index, is quite low, ranging generally from about 1 to about 8, more generally from about 1 to about 5, or less.

A fluid catalytic cracking catalyst exhibiting reduced coke make comprises a zeolite cracking component in a matrix of gibbsite having a median particle size of not more than 0.4 microns and preferably not more than 0.3 microns. The zeolite cracking component will normally be a faujasite, with preference to zeolite Y in its various forms such as Y, HY, REY, REHY, USY, REUSY and secondary zeolite additives may be present, including ZSM-5.
摘要:
The propylene production of a fluid catalytic cracking unit employing a large pore zeolite cracking catalyst, produces more propylene by adding a naphtha cracking riser and a medium pore zeolite catalytic component to the unit, and recycling at least a portion of the naphtha crackate to the naphtha riser. The large pore size zeolite preferably comprises a USY zeolite and the medium pore size is preferably ZSM-5. Propylene production per unit of naphtha feed to the naphtha riser is maximized, by using the 60–300° F. naphtha crackate as the feed.
摘要:
A process for producing polymers from olefins selectively produced by a two stage process for selectively producing C2 to C4 olefins from a gas oil or resid is disclosed herein. The gas oil or resid is reacted in a first stage comprising a fluid catalytic cracking unit wherein it is converted in the presence of conventional large pore zeolitic catalyst to reaction products, including a naphtha boiling range stream. The naphtha boiling range stream is introduced into a second stage comprising a process unit containing a reaction zone, a stripping zone, a catalyst regeneration zone, and a fractionation zone. The naphtha feed is contacted in the reaction zone with a catalyst containing from about 10 to 50 wt. % of a crystalline zeolite having an average pore diameter less than about 0.7 nanometers at reaction conditions which include temperatures ranging from about 500 to 650° C. and a hydrocarbon partial pressure from about 10 to 40 psia. Vapor products are collected overhead and the catalyst particles are passed through the stripping zone on the way to the catalyst regeneration zone. Volatiles are stripped with steam in the stripping zone and the catalyst particles are sent to the catalyst regeneration zone where coke is burned from the catalyst, which is then recycled to the reaction zone.
