摘要:
Processes herein may be used to thermally crack various hydrocarbon feeds, and may eliminate the refinery altogether while making the crude to chemicals process very flexible in terms of crude. In embodiments herein, crude is progressively separated into at least light and heavy fractions. Depending on the quality of the light and heavy fractions, these are routed to one of three upgrading operations, including a fixed bed hydroconversion unit, a fluidized catalytic conversion unit, or a residue hydrocracking unit that may utilize an ebullated bed reactor. Products from the upgrading operations may be used as feed to a steam cracker.

Process scheme configurations are disclosed that enable conversion of crude oil feeds with several processing units in an integrated manner into petrochemicals. The designs utilize minimum capital expenditures to prepare suitable feedstocks for the steam cracker complex. The integrated process for converting crude oil to petrochemical products including olefins and aromatics, and fuel products, includes mixed feed steam cracking and gas oil steam cracking. Feeds to the mixed feed steam cracker include light products and naphtha from hydroprocessing zones within the battery limits, recycle streams from the C3 and C4 olefins recovery steps, and raffinate from a pyrolysis gasoline aromatics extraction zone within the battery limits. Feeds to the gas oil steam cracker include hydrotreated gas oil range intermediates from the vacuum gas oil hydroprocessing zone. Furthermore, vacuum residue is processed in a solvent deasphalting unit to produce deasphalted oil as additional feed to the gas oil hydroprocessing zone.
摘要:
A method for upgrading a hydrocarbon using active hydrogen, includes the steps of: feeding a hydrocarbon to a two-compartment cell having a first compartment, a second compartment and a membrane dividing the compartments, wherein the hydrocarbon is fed to the first compartment which functions as a chemical compartment; feeding a source of hydrogen to the second compartment which functions as an electrochemical compartment; and pulsing an electric current or cathodic current across the second compartment.

A method and a product made by treating a sulfur-containing hydrocarbon heavy feed, e.g., heavy crude asphaltene reduction is disposed herein. The method comprises the steps of: mixing the sulfur-containing hydrocarbon heavy feed with a hydrogen donor solvent and an addled silica to form a mixture and oxidizing the sulfur in the mixture at a temperature between 50° C. and 210° C. wherein the oxidation lowers the amount sulfur in the sulfur-containing hydrocarbon heavy feed by at least 90%.
摘要:
Sulfur-bearing liquid hydrocarbon feedstocks such as kerosene undergo desulfurization and deodorization by contacting such feedstocks with sodium hydride at normal atmospheric pressure and at elevated temperatures. The resulting liquid is further contacted with a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid and an alkaline neutralizing agent such as caustic soda. The liquid may also be contacted with an oxidizying agent such as sodium hyprochlorite prior to being contacted with the neutralizing agent and with a dehydrating agent such as soda ash after being contacted with the neutralizing agent.
摘要:
Used lubricating oil is rerefined utilizing hydride reducing agents. The hydride reducing agent contacts the used oil in an aqueous solution, for example. Contact with the hydride reducing agent may occur before, during or after distillation or evaporation of the used lubricating oil. The disclosed method reduces the concentration of carbonyl compounds and metals and reduces the corrosion characteristics of used lubricating oil.
摘要:
Asphaltene-containing hydrocarbonaceous black oils are hydrogenated in a slurry process utilizing a hydrogen transfer agent. The transfer agent constitutes a finely divided sponge metal, saturated with hydrogen at elevated pressure, and admixed with the charge stock to form a reactive slurry. Preferred sponge metals include titanium, zirconium, vanadium, tungsten and nickel. In a specific embodiment, the reactive slurry also contains a hydrorefining catalyst of an unsupported sulfide of a Group V-B metal.
