摘要:
Ethane is converted to LPG and gasoline and/or aromatics concentrate in a combination process which comprises directly passing olefin effluent from the thermal cracking of ethane over a special crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite of the ZSM-5 type and recovering aromatics and C.sub.3 + hydrocarbons. For best yields, the thermal cracking step is conducted under more severe conditions than are used when ethylene production is optimized. The second, olefin conversion step is carried out at either the same pressure as the cracking step or higher. The process is of particular interest where low cost ethane is available.

A method is provided for the preparation of a synthetic, non-composited microporous membrane comprising a continuous array of crystalline molecular sieve material. A non-porous forming surface is contacted, under crystallization conditions, with a chemical mixture capable of forming the molecular sieve material. After a layer of the molecular sieve material is crystallized on the forming surface, the layer and the forming surface are recovered from the chemical mixture and the layer is separated from the forming surface.

F. to 1200.degree. F. to restore activity of the catalyst while retaining selectivity. Advantageously, the conversion involves alkylation, disproportionation and/or isomerization to produce at least one lower alkyl or dialkyl benzene product.

A method is provided for increasing the catalytic activity of acid zeolite catalysts characterized by a silica to alumina mole ratio of at least 12 and a constraint index within the approximate range of 1 to 12, comprising contacting said zeolite catalysts with water for a sufficient treating time, temperature and water partial pressure to bring about said increased activity. The increase in catalytic activity is within a zone of enhanced activity, said zone is defined as encompassing all those conditions of treating time, temperature and water partial pressure and combinations thereof which yield catalytic activities greater than initial catalyst activity. The zeolite of enhanced activity of the method of the present invention can be utilized in improved acid catalyzed hydrocarbon conversion processes such as cracking, hydrocracking, alkylation, dealkylation, transalkylation, isomerization, dimerization, oligomerization, polymerization, addition, disproportionation, aromatization and hydration.
摘要:
A process for the co-production of 2-alkanones having at least five carbon atoms and phenol or a substituted phenol. In the first step, benzene or a substituted benzene is alkylated with an alkyl moiety of at least five carbon atoms to selectively produce the 2-arylalkane isomer. Subsequent oxidation to the hydroperoxide and acid cleavage thereof yields the desired product. The alkylation step is carried out in the presence of a novel class of selective crystalline zeolite materials having pore openings with a major dimension of six to seven angstroms.
摘要:
Living plants and animals synthesize and often accumulate a wide variety of organic materials having a molecular weight greater than 150. These include different chemical types such as natural hydrocarbons including rubbery substances, natural resins, and natural glycerides such as oils and fats. These substances, formed in the anabolic process, are collectively called "anabolites".This invention provides a process for catalytically converting certain anabolites to liquid hydrocarbons useful for the manufacture of fuels such as gasoline and chemicals such as para-xylene. Crystalline aluminosilicate zeolites having an effective pore size of greater than about 5 Angstrom units are useful catalysts.
