摘要:
An adsorbent for selective removal of sulfur from a hydrocarbon feedstock includes a matrix material having a surface area of at least about 400 m2/g and a surface acidity of less than about 0.20 μmol/m2; and a metal phase dispersed through the matrix, the metal phase being selective to reversible adsorption of sulfur. A process for using and method for making the adsorbent are also provided.

A process for preparing ethers includes the steps of: providing a feedstock containing iso-olefins selected from the group consisting of C5 iso-olefins, C6 iso-olefins and mixtures thereof; mixing the feedstock with alkyl alcohol so as to provide a reaction feedstock, feeding the reaction feedstock to a reactor zone in the presence of a first etherification catalyst whereby the alkyl alcohol reacts with the iso-olefins to form alkyl-tert-alkyl ethers so as to provide an intermediate feedstock containing the ethers and unreacted iso-olefins and alkyl alcohol; feeding the intermediate feedstock to a catalytic distillation column having a second etherification catalyst defining a catalytic zone; mixing additional alkyl alcohol to the intermediate feedstock so as to form azeotropes of the alkyl alcohol with the unreacted iso-olefins without forming azeotropes of the alkyl alcohol with the ethers whereby the catalytic zone is substantially free of the ethers and the unreacted iso-olefins react with said alkyl alcohol in the catalytic zone to form additional alkyl-tert-alkyl ethers.

摘要:
A process is provided for simultaneous selective hydrogenation of diolefins and nitriles from a hydrocarbon feedstock, wherein hydrogenation is carried out using a catalyst in one reactor zone while partially deactivated catalyst in another reactor zone is regenerated.
摘要:
An adsorption/desorption process for selectively removing nitriles from a hydrocarbon feedstock includes the steps of: (a) providing a hydrocarbon feedstock having a nitrile content of less than or equal to about 400 ppm; (b) providing an adsorbent for selective removal of nitrile from a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising a substantially homogeneous mixture of a cationic nonacidic zeolite and an inorganic oxide matrix, the zeolite having an accessibility index of between about 0.1 to about 0.4; (c) contacting the feedstock and the adsorbent at nitrile adsorption conditions whereby at least about 80% of the nitrile content is adsorbed by the adsorbent during contact with at least about 200 volumes of the feedstock per volume of the adsorbent so as to provide a used adsorbent having nitrile molecules adsorbed thereon; and (d) contacting the used adsorbent with a desorbent at desorption conditions so as to remove the nitrile molecules and provide a renewed adsorbent.
摘要:
A process for regenerating a spent hydrogenation catalyst, comprising the steps of providing a catalyst comprising a support material selected from the group consisting of an inorganic oxide-zeolite composite, carbon and zeolite, and a catalytically active metal phase selected from the group consisting of partially reduced group IB metals and completely reduced group VIII metals, said metal phase being present in an amount of grater than or equal to about 0.03 wt %, and said catalyst having an initial diolefin hydrogenation activity, treating a hydrocarbon feedstock having a diolefin content of greater than or equal to about 0.1% and a nitrite content of greater than or equal to about 2 ppm with said catalyst until said initial diolefin hydrogenation activity of said catalyst decreases to a reduced diolefin hydrogenation activity, flushing said catalyst with an inert gas so as to remove traces of hydrocarbon from said catalyst and thereby provide a flushed catalyst, and regenerating said flushed catalyst by further flushing said flushed catalyst with hydrogen so as to provide a regenerated catalyst having a regenerated diolefin hydrogenation activity which is greater than said reduced diolefin hydrogenation activity.
