摘要:
A product of reduced sulfur content is produced in a multiple stage process from a feedstock which is comprised of a mixture of hydrocarbons and includes sulfur-containing aromatic compounds as unwanted impurities. The first stage involves: (1) subjecting the feedstock to alkylation conditions which are effective to convert a portion of the impurities to higher boiling sulfur-containing products, and (2) separating the resulting products by fractional distillation into a lower boiling fraction and a higher boiling fraction. The lower boiling fraction is comprised of hydrocarbons and is of reduced sulfur content relative to the feedstock. The higher boiling fraction is comprised of hydrocarbons and contains unconverted sulfur-containing aromatic impurities and also the higher boiling sulfur-containing products. Each subsequent stage involves: (1) subjecting the higher boiling fraction from the preceding stage to alkylation conditions which are effective to convert at least a portion of its content of sulfur-containing aromatic compounds to higher boiling sulfur-containing products, and (2) separating the resulting products by fractional distillation into a lower boiling hydrocarbon fraction and a higher boiling fraction which contains higher boiling sulfur-containing alkylation products. The total hydrocarbon product of reduced sulfur content from the process is comprised of the lower boiling fractions from various stages.
摘要:
A product of reduced sulfur content is produced from a feedstock which is comprised of a mixture of hydrocarbons and contains organic sulfur compounds as unwanted impurities. The process comprises converting at least a portion of the sulfur-containing impurities to sulfur-containing products of higher boiling point by treatment with an alkylating agent in the presence of an acid catalyst and removing at least a portion of these higher boiling products by fractional distillation. Suitable alkylating agents include alcohols and olefins. In a preferred embodiment, catalytic cracking products which contain aromatic sulfur compounds as impurities are used as a feedstock for the process.

The present invention features the use of a particulate sorbent and a particulate FCC catalyst, which are physically separable, sequentially in the same FCC riser, followed by separation of commingled spent catalyst and sorbent particles from vapors, and the subsequent primary partial regeneration and heat up of spent sorbent particles and catalysts particles in an oxygen deficient burning zone, followed by physical separation of partially regenerated catalyst and sorbent particles, preferably using a cyclonic classifier to effect the separation. This is followed by secondary regeneration of the resulting segregated partially regenerated sorbent and catalyst streams in oxygen rich combustion zones to fully regenerate sorbent and catalyst particles.
摘要:
A method for upgrading a concentrate of tar sands bitumen containing colloidal clay in which solvent-diluted bitumen is contacted for a short time in a riser with hot attrition-resistant substantially catalytically inert fluidizable microspheres, causing a selective vaporization of the lighter high hydrogen content components of the bitumen. A portion of the heavier asphaltenes and most of the components which contain metals, sulfur and nitrogen remain on the attrition-resistant microspheres. Colloidal clay in the bitumen feed also deposits on the microspheres instead of being carried over with the vaporized hydrocarbon product. The contact material, with deposit, is passed to a burner provided with high velocity air jets which attrites the colloidal clay away from the microspheres and the material removed by attrition is recovered. The heated microspheres are reintroduced into the riser for further contact with incoming diluted bitumen charge.
摘要:
Whole crude and residual fractions from distillation of petroleum and like feed stocks are subjected to selective vaporization to prepare heavy fractions of reduced Conradson Carbon and/or metals content by short-term, high temperature riser contact with a substantially inert solid contact material of low surface area in a selective vaporization zone. High boiling point components of the charge which are of high Conradson Carbon number and/or high metal content remain on the contact material as a combustible deposit which is then burned off in a combustion zone whereby the contact material is heated to a high temperature for return to the selective vaporization zone to supply the heat required therein. Equilibrium FCC catalyst, previously treated to reduce catalytic cracking activity and surface area, is used as the substantially inert solid.

An improved cracking catalyst is disclosed for the production of propylene from a hydrocarbon feedstock. The process uses a catalyst blend comprising a large pore catalyst and a medium or small pore catalyst, where the medium or small pore catalyst includes a metal deposited on the medium or small pore catalyst.

摘要:
A camera/device support platform with improved structure for positioning the camera/device in multiple positions and about multiple axes. The camera/device is supported and counterbalanced in such a manner so as to maintain the mounting platform in a fixed attitude that is typically parallel to the ground. The camera/device, while so supported, can be freely repositioned closer to or farther from the photographed object, in addition to swinging in a vertical arc or a horizontal arc, without the need to move the support platform.
摘要:
A metallic reforming catalyst, preferably consisting of platinum and iridium or compounds thereof, with or without a third metal component of either Groups IB, IIB, IIIA, IVA, VB, VIB or VIIB on a porous carrier provides excellent conversion of naphtha to C.sub.5 .sup.+ product. A method of incorporating the metals or metal compounds on the carrier and preparing the finished catalyst using dimethyl sulfoxide is a novel procedure and provides unexpected catalytic properties. Novel reforming operations using these catalysts under moderate or severe conditions do not drastically alter the product yield.
