摘要:
Aliphatic oxygenates are converted to high octane gasoline by an integrated reactor system wherein three reaction zones are utilized. In a first reaction zone the oxygenates are directly converted to gasoline and an isobutane by-product. In a second reaction zone oxygenates are dehydrated to an intermediate product comprising C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 olefins, which are then further reacted with the isobutane by-product in a third reaction zone to yield a gasoline alkylate. Ethylene-containing vapors may be separated from the second reaction zone and recycled to the first reaction zone for further processing.
摘要:
An improved continuous process for alkylation of isoparaffins with olefins to yield a product which includes a large proportion of highly branced paraffins for making gasoline having improved octane is taught. The improved process comprises contacting isoparaffins and olefins with a composite catalyst comprising a Lewis acid and a non-zeolitic inorganic oxide in the presence of a controlled amount of water. The process results in reduced catalyst aging and obviates environmental problems associated with prior art processes.

A multi-stage catalytic olefin upgrading reactor system for converting lower olefinic feedstock to heavier liquid hydrocarbon product. The novel apparatus includes a fluid bed continuous primary stage reaction zone with shape selective medium pore zeolite oligomerization catalyst particles to convert at least a portion of the lower olefinic components to intermediate olefinic hydrocarbons containing olefinic and aromatic components; means are provided for cooling primary stage reaction effluent to condense at least a portion of the intermediate hydrocarbons, feeding a second olefinic stream to a serially arranged multi-reactor secondary stage for upgrading lower olefins, quenching partially upgraded secondary stage olefins with primary stage liquid, and further contacting the quenched mixture including aromatics from the primary stage with oligomerization catalyst in a high pressure fixed bed secondary stage distillate mode catalytic reactor at elevated temperature and high pressure to provide a heavier hydrocarbon effluent stream comprising distillate hydrocarbons.
摘要:
Alkylate is produced by catalytically converting oxygenate feedstock, such as methanol, to lower olefins comprising C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 olefins. Ethene is separated by interstage sorption of C.sub.3 + components and an isoparaffin is alkylated with C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 olefins derived from sorbate. The system comprises means for fractionating an olefinic feedstream containing ethene and C.sub.3 + olefinic components by contacting the olefinic feedstream in a sorption zone with a liquid hydrocarbon sorbent to selectively sorb C.sub.3.sup.+ components; means for reacting C.sub.3.sup.+ olefins with excess isoparaffin in a catalytic alkylation reactor to produce C.sub.7 + alkylate hydrocarbons; fractionating the alkylation reactor effluent to provide a liquid hydrocarbon fraction rich in C.sub.7.sup.+ alkylate. Liquid recycle or C.sub.5.sup.+ liquid coproduced with the lower olefin may be passed to the sorption zone as lean sorbent. C.sub.7.sup.+ alkylate product and C.sub.5.sup.+ gasoline are recovered from the process.
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:
An oligomerization process is provided for upgrading lower olefins to distillate hydrocarbons, especially useful as high quality jet or diesel fuels. The olefinic feedstock is reacted over a shape selective acid zeolite, such as ZSM-5, to oligomerize feedstock olefins and further convert recycled hydrocarbons. Reactor effluent is fractionated to recover a light-middle distillate range product stream and to obtain gasoline and heavy hydrocarbon streams for recycle.

The waxy liquid phase of an oil suspension of Fischer-Tropsch catalyst containing dissolved wax is separated out and the wax is converted by hydrocracking, dewaxing or by catalytic cracking with a low activity catalyst to provide a highly olefinic product which may be further converted to premium quality gasoline and/or distillate fuel.

An integrated process is provided for converting methanol or the like to heavy hydrocarbon products, especially distillate range hydrocarbons. In a first stage catalytic process oxygenate feedstock is converted to lower olefins. Byproduct aromatics are passed through a second stage oligomerization reactor with olefins. Distillate range hydrocarbons are recovered and hydrotreated to provide an improved fuel product.
