摘要:
Benzene, toluene and xylene are prepared from mixtures of single ring alkyl aromatic compounds of eight or more carbon atoms concurrently with isomerization of xylenes by mixing xylenes from which at least one isomer has been separated with a mixture of alkyl benzenes of eight and more carbon atoms, e.g. heavy reformate, and contacting that mixture at 800.degree. to 1000.degree. F. with a zeolite catalyst of reduced activity such as zeolite ZSM-5 having a silica to alumina ratio of at least 200.

摘要:
An oligomerization system 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.
摘要:
Olefin undergoes conversion in the presence of water to a mixture of alcohol and ether which is then subjected to various downstream operations including distillation and decantation to provide an ether-rich product containing little if any water. If desired the ether can be combined in any predetermined ratio with co-produced alcohol to provide alcohol/ether mixtures of desired composition. The foregoing process is especially suitable to the conversion of propylene and propylene-containing streams to diisopropyl ether and mixtures of isopropyl alcohol and diisopropyl ether which are useful, inter alia, as octane improves for gasoline.
摘要:
An improved fluidized bed process for upgrading olefinic hydrocarbon feedstock by contacting the feedstock with acidic siliceous zeolite conversion catalyst particles at elevated temperature under exothermic conditions to produce heavier hydrocarbons including gasoline range hydrocarbons. The improvement comprises maintaining a turbulent fluidized bed of catalyst particles by flowing hydrocarbon-containing vapor upwardly through said bed at less than transport velocity; and introducing liquid olefinic feedstock comprising at least one C.sub.4 -C.sub.6 diene component into the fluidized catalyst bed in a lower portion thereof by rapidly atomizing and vaporizing the liquid feedstock, thus converting feedstock to heavier hydrocarbon without substantial thermal diene degradation thereof prior to contacting conversion catalyst particles in the fluidized bed. A predominantly liquid product is recovered containing C.sub.4 -C.sub.9 hydrocarbons rich in olefins and aromatics.

摘要:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for producing gasoline and distillate grade products which employs integrating catalytic (or thermal) dehydrogenation of paraffins with MOGD to minimize interstage compression and gas plant separation cost. The process cascades the product from a low temperature propane or butane dehydrogenation zone into a first catalytic reactor zone which operates at low pressure and contains zeolite oligomerization catalysts, where the low molecular weight olefins are reacted to primarily gasoline range materials. These gasoline range materials can then be pressurized to the pressure required for reacting to distillate in a second catalytic reactor zone operating at high pressure and containing zeolite oligomerization catalyst. The first catalytic reactor zone also acts to remove the olefins from the dehydrogenation reactor effluent to allow recycle of the unreacted paraffins.
摘要:
A fluidized bed catalytic process for conversion of light olefinic gas feedstock containing ethene to produce hydrocarbons rich in C.sub.5.sup.+ liquids, comprising the steps of maintaining a fluidized bed of zeolite catalyst particles in a turbulent reactor bed at a temperature of about 315.degree. to 510.degree. C., said catalyst having an apparent particle density of about 0.9 to 1.6 g/cm.sup.3 and a size range of about 1 to 150 microns, and average catalyst particles size of about 20 to 100 microns containing about 10 to 25 weight percent of fine particles having a particle size less than 32 microns; passing hot feedstock vapor upwardly through the fluidized catalyst bed under turbulent flow conditions; maintaining turbulent fluidized bed conditions through the reactor bed between transition velocity and transport velocity at a superficial fluid velocity of about 0.3 to 2 meters per second; and recovering hydrocarbon product containing a major amount of C.sub.5.sup.+ hydrocarbons and containing C.sub.3 -C.sub.5 alkanes and alkenes in the ratio of about 0.2:1 to 5:1.
摘要:
A multistage process for producing isoalkyl ethers from lower aliphatic oxygenate feedstock, such as methanol. Feedstock is catalytically converted in a primary catalyst stage at elevated temperature in contact with zeolite catalyst to predominantly C.sub.2 -C.sub.7 lower olefins comprising isobutylene and isoamylene, by-product water and a minor amount of C.sub.8.sup.+ hydrocarbons, followed by fractionation of the C.sub.2 -C.sub.7 olefins to recover a C.sub.2 -C.sub.3 -rich recycle stream for further catalytic conversion in the primary stage. C.sub.4 -C.sub.7 olefins are passed to a second catalytic etherification stage for reaction of isoalkenes with methanol to produce methyl tertiary-butyl ether, methyl isoamylether and higher isoalkyl ethers. The second stage effluent may be fractionated to recover an ether product, C.sub.5.sup.+ hydrocarbon liquid product, and unreacted butenes. Advantageously, the unreacted butenes are further reacted with isoparaffin in a third catalytic stage under acid catalysis alkylation conditions, and fractionated to recover C.sub.6.sup.+ alkylate liquid, liquid hydrocarbon product. The ethers may be blended with at least one C.sub.6.sup.+ hydrocarbon to produce high octane gasoline.
