Abstract:
Double bond isomerization of olefins utilizing a catalyst comprising nickel and sulfur on a porous carrier; the catalyst being prepared by forming an initial composite of the nickel with the carrier material, sulfiding the initial composite to provide a sulfur/nickel atomic ratio of at least about 0.9 in the sulfided composite, and then stripping sufficient sulfur from the sulfided composite with hydrogen to provide a final isomerization catalyst composition having a sulfur/nickel atomic ratio of less than about 0.9 and more than about 0.55.
Abstract:
Normal paraffins are dehydrogenated to form normal olefins by contacting them at dehydrogenation conditions with a catalytic composite comprising a combination of a platinum group component, a rhenium component and an alkali or alkaline earth component with an alumina carrier material. A specific example of the dehydrogenation method disclosed herein is a dehydrogenation of long-chain normal paraffins with a catalyst comprising a combination of a platinum component, a rhenium component, and an alkali or alkaline earth component with an alumina carrier material in amounts sufficient to result in a catalytic composite containing, on an elemental basis, 0.01 to 1 wt. % platinum, 0.01 to 1 wt. % rhenium, and 0.01 to 5 wt. % of the alkali or alkaline earth metal.
Abstract:
ISOMERIZABLE HYDROCARBONS INCLUDING PARAFFINS, CYCLOPARAFFINS, OLEFINS AND ALKYLAROMATICS ARE ISOMERIZED BY CONTRACTING THE HYDROCARBON AT ISOMERIZATION CONDITIONS WITH A CATALYTIC COMPOSITE OF ALUMINA HAVING COMBINED THEREWITH A PLATINUM GROUP METALLIC COMPONENT, A HALOGEN COMPONENT AND A RHENIUM COMPONENT.
Abstract:
A COMBINATION PROCESS INVOLVING HYDROCRACKING AND DEHYDROGENATION. HYDROCRACKING OF A HEAVIER-THAN-GASOLINE CHARGE STOCK IS EFFECTED AT CONDITION CONDUCTIVE TO AROMATIC SATURATION AND EXTENDED CATALYST STABILITY. DE HYDROGENATION OF AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE HYDROCRACKED PRODUCT EFFLUENT IS EFFECTED AT CONDITIONS WHICH ARE CONDUCTIVE TO THE CONVERSION OF NAPTHTHENES TO AROMATICS. THE HYDROCRACKING REACTION IS EFFECTED AT HIGH PRESSURES AND HIGH SPACE VELOCITIES, WHILE THE DEHYDROGENATION REACTION IS EFFECTED AT LOWER PRESSURES AND LOWER SPACE VELOCITIES.
