The washcoated substrate is subsequently deposited with a precious metal catalyst and a sulfur oxidation suppressant. In a preferred embodiment, the clay is acid-leached bentonite, the refractory oxide is zirconia or titania, the zeolite is beta-zeolite or Y-zeolite or ZSM-5 or mordenite, the precious metal catalyst is preferably platinum, and the sulfur oxidation suppressant is vanadium or vanadium oxide or a combination thereof
Abstract:
A process for preparing a transalkylation catalyst, the catalyst itself, and a transalkylation process for using the catalyst are herein disclosed. The catalyst comprises rhenium metal on a solid-acid support such as mordenite, which has been treated with a sulfur-based agent. Such treatment reduces the amount of methane produced by metal hydrogenolysis in a transalkylation process wherein heavy aromatics like A9+ are reacted with toluene to produce xylenes. Reduced methane production relative to total light ends gas production results in lower hydrogen consumption and lower reactor exotherms.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a catalyst composition for transalkylation of alkylaromatic hydrocarbons which exhibits the percent conversion of ethyltoluene higher than 50 wt %, is composed of mordenite (100 pbw), inorganic oxide and/or clay (25-150 pbw), and at least one metal component of rhenium, platinum, and nickel, and contains mordenite such that the maximum diameter of secondary particles of mordenite is smaller than 10 .mu.m. Disclosed also herein is a process for producing xylene by the aid of said catalyst from alkylaromatic hydrocarbons containing C.sub.9 alkylaromatic hydrocarbons containing more than 5 wt % ethyltoluene and less than 0.5 wt % naphthalene, in the presence of hydrogen.
Abstract:
A catalyst composition and a process for converting a hydrocarbon stream such as, for example, a C.sub.9 + aromatic compound to C.sub.6 to C.sub.8 aromatic hydrocarbons such as xylenes are disclosed. The catalyst composition comprises an aluminosilicate, and a metal wherein the weight ratio of aluminum to silicon is in the range of from about 0.002:1 to about 0.6:1. The process comprises contacting a hydrocarbon stream with the catalyst composition under a condition sufficient to effect the conversion of a hydrocarbon to a C.sub.6 to C.sub.8 aromatic hydrocarbon. Also disclosed is a process for producing the catalyst composition which comprises: (1) contacting a zeolite with steam to produce a steamed zeolite; (2) optional contacting the steamed zeolite with an effective amount of an acid under a condition sufficient to effect a reduction in aluminum content of the zeolite to produce an acid-leached zeolite; and (3) impregnating the steamed or acid-leached zeolite with an effective amount of a metal compound under a condition sufficient to effect the production of a metal-promoted zeolite.
