摘要:
There is provided a process for preparing ethylbenzene using liquid phase alkylation and vapor phase transalkylation. The liquid phase alkylation reaction may be catalyzed by an acidic solid oxide, such as MCM-22, MCM-49 and MCM-56. The vapor phase transalkylation may be catalyzed by a medium-pore size zeolite such as ZSM-5. The process may be run continuously with the continuous introduction of fresh benzene feed containing at least 500 ppm of nonbenzene hydrocarbon impurities. The combined ethylbenzene product of these alkylation and transalkylation reactions has very low levels of impurities including xylene, hydrocarbons having 7 or less carbon atoms and hydrocarbons having 9 or more carbon atoms.

There is provided a process for the liquid phase synthesis of ethylbenzene with a zeolite designated MCM-49. The process involves the alkylation of benzene with ethylene under liquid phase conditions.
摘要:
Relatively short chain alkyl aromatic compounds are prepared by alkylating an alkylatable aromatic compound with a relatively short chain alkylating agent under sufficient reaction conditions in the presence of a catalyst comprising zeolite MCM-56. The liquid phase syntheses of ethylbenzene and cumene are particular examples of such MCM-56 catalyzed reactions.

This invention relates to a process in which the addition of a substantially inert solvent to a heavy petroleum stock permits high conversion hydrocracking and hydrogen addition to be accomplished in the absence of catalyst or additive.
摘要:
Ignition delay of distillate fuels is measured by heating a block to an elevated temperature and injecting samples into a cavity in the block as it cools. The time between each injection and ignition of the fuel is measured. This measurement of ignition delay is used to determine the cetane number of the distillate fuel.

Apparatus for investigating the performance of a catalyst used in a catalytic cracking process includes a single fluidized bed reactor charged with the catalyst to be investigated and a digital computer which controls the supply of hydrocarbon feed stock and regenerating air in successive and repeated catalytic cracking intervals and catalyst regeneration intervals.
摘要:
A reforming process and apparatus exhibiting improved catalyst longevity towards reforming a high sulfur-containing liquid fuel. The process involves contacting in a first reforming zone a first oxidant and a liquid fuel containing high molecular weight organosulfur compounds with a partial oxidation catalyst under CPOX reaction conditions to form a first reformate stream containing a mixture of unconverted and partially-converted hydrocarbons and one or more low molecular weight sulfur compounds; and then contacting in a second reforming zone the first reformate stream with steam and optionally a second oxidant in the presence of an autothermal reforming catalyst under ATR reaction conditions to form a second reformate stream containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen and one or more low molecular weight sulfur compounds. The low molecular weight sulfur compounds can be readily removed from the first and/or second reformate streams by gas phase adsorption methods.
摘要:
A fuel reformer includes a reforming portion having a tubular catalytic converter that is composed of a substrate supporting the catalytic component, and is arranged to have a center axis extending along the supply direction of the fuel and oxidizer derived from a supply portion, and a communication passage arranged along an inner wall of the catalytic converter and communicating with the supply portion. The fuel and oxidizer supplied from the supply portion to the communication passage pass from the inner wall of the catalytic converter to an outer wall thereof by forced convection, thereby reforming the fuel.
