    摘要: A method is disclosed for decreasing the emissions of chlorine-containing species from a moving bed process for regenerating spent catalyst particles with a recycle gas stream. A recycle gas stream contacts spent catalyst particles at regeneration conditions, thereby producing a flue gas stream. The flue gas stream which contains chlorine-containing species contacts spent catalyst particles at sorption conditions. The spent catalyst particles sorb the chlorine-containing species from the flue gas stream, thereby producing the recycle gas stream. A portion of the recycle gas stream is vented from the process. This method captures and returns to the process the chlorine-containing species that would be lost from the process and that would need to be replaced by the injection of make-up chlorine-containing species. This method results in a significant savings in capital and operating costs of the process. This method is adaptable to many processes for the catalytic conversion of hydrocarbons in which deactivated catalyst particles are regenerated in a moving bed.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for decreasing the emissions of chlorine-containing species from a process for contacting catalyst particles with a recycle stream containing chlorine-containing species. Prior to contacting the catalyst particles with the recycle gas, an effluent stream that contains chlorine-containing species contacts the catalyst particles at sorption conditions. The catalyst particles sorb the chlorine-containing species from the effluent stream. This method captures and returns to the process the chlorine-containing species that would be lost from the process and that would need to be replaced by the injection of make-up chlorine-containing species. This method results in a significant savings in capital and operating costs of the process. This method is adaptable to many processes for the catalytic conversion of hydrocarbons in which deactivated catalyst particles are regenerated.

    摘要: A controlled method of changing the transport rate of particles between two zones is disclosed. Changes are made in a computed value of the pressure difference of the conduit between the two zones through which the particles are transported. The changes are of a predetermined magnitude and are performed at predetermined time intervals, until the desired final value of the pressure difference is reached. The method minimizes fluctuations in the pressures of the two zones without over-sized vessels or additional equipment that would otherwise be needed to accommodate pressure changes. This results in a savings in construction costs. This invention is adaptable to a multitude of processes for the catalytic conversion of hydrocarbons in which deactivated catalyst particles are regenerated.

    摘要: Apparatus for regenerating spent hydrocarbon conversion catalyst. Catalyst particles in a vertically-elongated movable tapered bed are contacted with a hot oxygen-containing gas stream in order to remove, by means of combustion, coke which accumulated on the catalyst particles while they were used in a hydrocarbon conversion zone. Catalyst moves downward under the influence of gravity. The catalyst bed is tapered such that the thickness of the bed, in a dimension which is transverse to the direction of catalyst movement, varies from a minimum at the top of the tapered bed to a maximum at the bottom of the tapered bed. Gas passes through the tapered bed in a direction which is substantially transverse to the direction of catalyst movement. Substantially, all of the catalyst in the bed is in contact with the flowing gas. The variation in bed thickness causes a varying gas flow rate through the bed, from a maximum flow rate at the top of the tapered bed to a minimum flow rate at the bottom of the tapered bed and reduces the time that catalyst is exposed to high temperature gases. This flow pattern results in the delivery of oxygen in a manner which more closely matches the oxygen requirement for combustion at each point in the tapered bed. Advantages of the invention include increased coke burning capacity and longer catalyst life. Catalytic reforming is an example of a hydrocarbon conversion process in which the invention may be advantageously employed.

    摘要: A method for regenerating coke-contaminated catalyst particles achieves better utilization of oxygen and minimizes surface area loss of the catalyst by confining particles in the combustion section of a regeneration zone to a tapered bed configuration. In this method, catalyst particles move through the regeneration zone in continuous or semi-continuous flow and are formed into a vertically elongated bed of particles in the regeneration zone. An oxygen-containing gas is passed through the particle bed in a transverse direction and initiates combustion of the coke deposits along a burn front that extends diagonally through the catalyst bed from the inlet surface of the bed to the outlet surface of the bed. The catalyst bed is tapered to reduce the volume of catalyst particles behind the burn wave, with respect to gas flow through the bed, thereby increasing the gas flow through the upper portion of the bed and removing catalyst that would be exposed to high temperature flue gas flowing across the bed from the burn front. The method of this invention can confine catalyst particles to a bed having a continuous taper or the thickness of the bed may be varied by confining the catalyst in discrete bed portions that increase progressively down the length of the bed. This method of regeneration can also include steps for halogenation and drying of the catalyst particles. A particularly useful application of this invention is in reforming processes.
