摘要:
This invention relates to process for producing a reformate or gasoline product. The process involves a rapid cycle of reacting hydrocarbon feedstock to form the product and then regenerating the catalyst used in the reaction. The process can be carried out at relatively high liquid hourly space velocities and preferably at relatively low hydrogen to hydrocarbon ratios to produce a reformed product having relatively high liquid yield and hydrogen content.
摘要:
This invention provides processes for transporting catalyst, preferably in an oxygenate to olefins reaction system. In one embodiment, an oxygenate contacts molecular sieve catalyst particles in a reactor under conditions effective to form an effluent stream comprising light olefins and forming coked catalyst particles. At least a portion of the coked catalyst particles are transported from the reactor or a device associated therewith to a catalyst regenerator through a conduit in a fluidized manner with a fluidizing medium comprising air and steam. At least a portion of the coked catalyst particles are regenerated in the catalyst regenerator to form regenerated catalyst particles, which are ultimately directed back to the reactor.
摘要:
Embodiments of the invention relate to processes and apparatus for the washing and recovery of metal-containing catalyst solids in a form suitable for reclamation. More specifically, a catalyst recovery process comprises removing an organic residue with a washing medium from a metal-containing catalyst solids, recovering washed solids, and treating the washed solids under oxidative conditions to form non-reactive solids. The treatment oxidative conditions may be effective to convert the metal(s) into an oxide form and/or may facilitate the removal of remaining organic residue from the washed solids. The treatment of the washed solids may comprise calcination. In some embodiments, the metal-containing catalyst solids may be recovered from a slurry stream, and the process further comprises passing the slurry stream though a separation unit to obtain a catalyst-enriched retentate slurry. In some embodiments, the organic residue comprises a hydrocarbon wax, and the solid catalyst is a hydrocarbon synthesis particulate catalyst.

The invention relates to a process and apparatus for controlling afterburning in the regenerator of a FCC unit. The process and apparatus inject steam into the dilute phase within a regenerator to promote combustion of carbon monoxide before it enters the regenerator cyclones, plenum, or flue gas transfer lines.

A process for the reactivation of a chromium-based fluorination catalyst, in particular chromia, by contacting the deactivated chromium-based fluorination catalyst with an atmosphere containing water vapour at elevated temperature, preferably above 300.degree. C.

A process for regenerating a spent, naturally occurring catalyst characterized by an iron content of about 10 to 70 wt. % as metal comprises contacting the spent catalyst with a mixture of water vapor and air in a water vapor/air ratio of between 1:1 to 20:1 at a flow rate of about 0.1 to 50 l/min., a temperature of about 200.degree. to 700.degree. C., a pressure of about 0.3 to 80 atmospheres for a time of about 0.1 to 20 hours so as to obtain a regenerated catalyst having a crystallinity value of about 1.0 to 6.5.
摘要:
Molybdenum-containing oxidation catalysts used in a fluid-bed reactor have been discovered to become partially deactivated through loss of molybdenum from the catalyst. These partially deactivated catalysts are regenerated in situ by the addition of fluid-bed particles consisting of an essentially inert support material containing molybdenum.
