摘要:
Mercaptans and olefins are removed from paraffin-rich feed streams through the use of dual zone catalytic distillation in the substantial absence of hydrogen. The mercaptans are reacted with the olefins using a first catalyst such as a sulphonated resin to form less volatile thioethers removed as part of a net bottoms stream. The remaining olefins are oligomerized in a higher catalyst zone preferably employing a catalyst, such as a dealuminated Y zeolite, having a higher oligomerization activity at the imposed conditions.

The present invention relates to a continuous in-situ process for the removal of organically bound sulfur existing as mercaptans, sulfides and thiophenes comprising the steps of (a) contacting a heavy oil with aqueous sodium hydroxide at a temperature of about 380.degree. C. to about 450.degree. C. for a time sufficient to form sodium sulfide, and (b) steam stripping the sodium sulfide of step (a) at a temperature sufficient to convert said sodium sulfide to sodium hydroxide and recirculating the sodium hydroxide from step (b) back to step (a) and removing hydrogen sulfide and the metals from the organically bound metal complex of the sodium sulfide to convert it back to sodium hydroxide, in which case the sulfur may be recovered as H.sub.2 S rather than the metal sulfide. Optionally, molecular hydrogen may be added in the first step. The present invention is useful in removing organically bound sulfur that has been recognized to be difficult to remove, such as thiophenes. Beneficially, the process also removes other heteroatoms (nitrogen and oxygen) and metals (vanadium, iron, nickel) and reduces asphaltene content (n-heptane insolubles), micro concarbon residue, coke, 975.degree. F. fractions, TGA fixed carbon, average molecular weight, density and viscosity.
摘要:
Sulfate reducing bacteria are detected by preparing a lysate so as to release an enzyme essential to derive energy by reduction of sulfate such as adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate reductase (APS reductase), containing the lysate with an antibody for the enzyme, and detecting the presence of the reaction product of the enzyme and the antibody. In one aspect, sulfate reducing bacteria are controlled responsive to such assay. In another aspect, a "test kit" is provided for carrying out the assay.
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:
A technique for continuous conversion of diene-containing aliphatic hydrocarbon feedstock to heavier hydrocarbon products wherein the feedstock is contacted at elevated temperature under endothermic high severity reaction conditions with a fluidized bed of acidic zeolite fine catalyst particles, comprising methods and means for:maintaining the fluidized catalyst bed in a vertical reactor having a turbulent reaction zone by passing vapor upwardly through the reaction zone at a velocity greater than dense bed transition velocity to a turbulent regime and less than transport velocity for the average catalyst particle;feeding a continuous stream of feedstock into the reaction zone, said feedstream comprising sufficient C.sub.3.sup.+ alkanes to require net endothermic reaction conditions;withdrawing a portion of coked catalyst from the reaction zone, oxidatively regenerating the withdrawn catalyst, heating the catalyst substantially above process temperature in the fluidized bed reactor, and returning hot regenerated catalyst to the reaction zone at a rate to control catalyst activity and reaction temperature under conditions of reaction severity to effect feedstock conversion to an aromatics-rich hydrocarbon effluent stream; andseparating an aromatics-rich product from the fluidized bed effluent stream.Aromatics yield is increased by recovering a recycle stream comprising C.sub.5.sup.+ aliphatic hydrocarbons from the fluidized bed effluent stream for further conversion in the fluidized bed to increase aromatics product yield.
摘要:
A process for removing suspended solids particularly difficultly filterable inorganic solids from an oil obtained as a refinery process bottom fraction from both steam and catalytic cracking units (e.g. catalytic cracker bottoms) or from coal conversion processes (e.g. coal tar) by adding to the oil an agglomerating agent comprising an oxyalkylated phenol formaldehyde resin glycol ester whereby said solids are clustered together into readily filterable agglomerates.

A class of cation-reordered, bismuth-containing compounds having a perovskite-type structure of the formulaBa.sub.2 La.sub.y Bi.sub.2-y O.sub.6wherein y is greater than 0 but less than 1, is provided. Preferably, y is from 0.25 to 0.75, and most preferably y is 0.5.The compositions herein are found to be particularly advantageous in the selective production of aromatic compounds from acyclic olefins, particularly in the production of benzene from propylene.

A method of reactivating a mercaptan oxidation catalytic composite of an adsorptive support and a metal chelate comprising contacting the composite with an aqueous solution of a quarternary ammonium compound and a linear ionic compound at a temperature of from about 55.degree. C. to about 175.degree. C.
摘要:
This process applies to effluents from syntheses of the Fischer-Tropsch type; it comprises several treatments applied to the three cuts obtained from these effluents, i.e. a "light fraction", a "light oil" and a "decanted oil". These treatments comprise such steps as distillation, polymerization, alkylation, hydrotreatment, cracking-decarboxylation, isomerization and hydro reforming. The products are mainly gasoline, kerosene and gasoil.

A method of refining gasoline stock in order to obtain highoctane fuels which comprises mixing the gasoline stock with complex compounds of the lower-valency transition metals selected from the group consisting of lower-valency transition metal carbonyls, the complex compounds of slats of said metals with ntype ligands, and the complex compounds of salts of said metals with strong reducing agents, followed by heating the reaction mixture in the 80* to 100*C temperature range and distilling off the target product.
