摘要:
This invention is directed to a staged process for producing liquids from coal or similar carbonaceous feeds combining a pretreatment stage and a liquefaction stage. In the process, the feed is dispersed in an organic solvent and reacted with carbon monoxide at an elevated temperature and pressure. The so pretreated coal is sent to a liquefaction reactor, wherein the coal is reacted in the presence of hydrogen and catalyst to produce valuable liquid fuels or feedstocks.

In a method of synthesizing a silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve having 90+% CHA framework-type character, a reaction mixture is prepared comprising sources of water, silicon, aluminum, and phosphorus, as well as an organic template. In one aspect, the reaction mixture is heated at more than 10° C./hour to a crystallization temperature and is retained at the crystallization temperature or within the crystallization temperature range for a crystallization time from 16 hours to 350 hours to produce the silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve. In another aspect, the reaction mixture is heated at less than 10° C./hour to a crystallization temperature from about 150° C. to about 225° C. and is then retained there for less than 10 hours to produce the silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve. The molecular sieve can then be recovered from the reaction mixture and, preferably, used in a hydrocarbon conversion process, such as oxygenates to olefins.

This invention provides a method of making a molecular sieve catalyst composition comprising the steps of: a) combining molecular sieve crystals with binder and liquid to form a binder-sieve mixture; b) combining the binder-sieve mixture with matrix material to form a binder-sieve-matrix mixture; c) mixing the binder-sieve-matrix mixture under conditions sufficient to form a slurry having a solids content of at least 40 wt %, based on total weight of the slurry; d) progressing the mixing until slurry viscosity decreases without significant additional dilution of the slurry, so that the slurry solids content does not significantly decrease; and e) drying the decreased viscosity slurry to produce a dried molecular sieve catalyst composition having an attrition rate index of not greater than 1 wt %/hr. The aforementioned catalyst compositions can be used in processes for making olefin product from oxygenate feedstock, which olefin products can be further used for making (co)polymer products.

The invention relates to a molecular sieve catalyst composition, to a method of making or forming the molecular sieve catalyst composition, and to a conversion process using the catalyst composition. In particular, the invention is directed to making a formulated molecular sieve catalyst composition from a slurry of formulation composition of a synthesized molecular sieve that has not been fully dried, a binder and an optional matrix material. In a more preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of the binder to the molecular sieve and/or the solid content of the slurry is controlled to provide an improved attrition resistant catalyst composition, particularly useful in a conversion process for producing olefin(s), preferably ethylene and/or propylene, from a feedstock, preferably an oxygenate containing feedstock.

A corresponding apparatus for carrying out the process is also provided.
