    摘要: A combination of an etherification process and a process for the isomerization of linear alkenes to isoalkenes uses a separation zone that receives an effluent stream from the etherification reaction zone and separates it into a high boiling stream, a low boiling stream and an intermediate boiling stream in order to reduce the mass flow of reactants through the isomerization and etherification reaction zones. The separation zone normally has an arrangement of a distillation column. The distillation column can provide a distillation function only, or can also provide a reactive distillation zone. The intermediate boiling stream typically leaves the column as a sidecut which in the case of reactive distillation is taken from the point above a bed of catalyst within the column. Taking the sidecut stream substantially eliminates the circulation of isoalkane hydrocarbons through the etherification and isomerization zone and maintains normal alkanes at an acceptable equilibrium level.

    摘要: A combination of an etherification process and a process for the isomerization of linear alkenes to isoalkenes uses a separation zone that receives an effluent stream from the etherification reaction zone and separates it into a high boiling stream, a low boiling stream and an intermediate boiling stream in order to reduce the mass flow of reactants through the isomerization and etherification reaction zones. The separation zone includes at least one distillation column. The distillation column can provide a distillation function only, or can also provide a reactive distillation zone. The intermediate boiling stream leaves a two column separation zone as a bottoms stream from a second column or in a single column separation zone as a sidecut which in the case of reactive distillation is taken from the point above a bed of catalyst within the column. Taking the sidecut stream substantially eliminates the circulation of isoalkane hydrocarbons through the etherification and isomerization zone and maintains normal alkanes at an acceptable equilibrium level. The effluent from the isomerization zone may enter the first in a series of etherification zones or may enter a second etherification zone having higher capacity.

    摘要: Processes for the production of ethers from alcohols and isoolefins are disclosed. Isoolefins having four to five carbon atoms per molecule are combined with a monohydroxy alcohol having from one to five carbon atoms per molecule and with a recycle stream comprising alcohol and water to form an etherification zone feed stream which is passed through an etherification zone to produce the desired ether. The effluent from the etherification zone is separated into an ether product and an aqueous product containing unreacted alcohol which is recycled to provide a portion of the etherification zone feed stream. Distillation can be employed to separate the effluent from the etherification zone into a bottoms product stream, comprising the ether, a distillate product comprising other hydrocarbons and the above-mentioned recycle stream. When producing ethyl-tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE), azeotropic grade ethanol, i.e., about 5 vol. % water, is preferably utilized. The utilization of the alcohol/water recycle stream can obviate the need for additional alcohol recovery from the distillate product.

    摘要: A process for regenerating solid treating particles contained in at least two vessels of a swing bed regeneration operation where the effluent of the regeneration operation is maintained regeneration fluid-free and at a substantially constant flowrate has been developed. The swing bed regeneration operation involves an on-line vessel treating process fluid and an off-line vessel for regeneration. At least a portion of the process fluid effluent from the vessel on-line is conducted to a displacement surge drum. The flowrate of the process fluid effluent from the displacement surge drum is controlled so that downstream units receive a substantially constant flowrate. A portion of the process fluid effluent from the displacement surge drum is periodically used to displace regeneration fluid from the vessel off-line, and during the displacement, the flowrate of effluent from the displacement surge drum is increased to provide additional flow to the vessel off-line without having to reduce the flow to downstream units.

    摘要: A combination of an etherification process and a process for the isomerization of linear alkenes to isoalkenes uses a first etherification zone that passes an etherification effluent and an etherification recycle stream through a skeletal isomerization separation zone to prepare an etherification feed for an additional etherification reactor. Etherification of additional isoalkane reactants in a separate etherification zone permits the production of additional ether products through isomerization without requiring additional etherification capacity upstream of the isomerization zone. Therefore additional etherification capacity can be added without significant changes to existing etherification capacity. The additional etherification zone may be in the form of a reactive distillation reactor that provides a high boiling ether product stream, a low boiling isoalkane vent stream and an intermediate boiling normal butene sidecut stream.

    摘要: A process for regenerating solid treating particles contained in at least two vessels of a swing bed regeneration operation where the effluent of the regeneration operation is maintained regeneration fluid-free and at a substantially constant flowrate has been developed. The swing bed regeneration operation involves at least two vessels, one of which is on-line treating process fluid, and the other is off-line for regeneration. At least a portion of the process fluid effluent from the vessel on-line is conducted to a displacement surge drum. The flowrate of the process fluid effluent from the displacement surge drum is controlled so that downstream units receive a substantially constant flowrate. A portion of the process fluid effluent from the displacement surge drum or a portion of the process fluid effluent from the vessel on-line is periodically used to displace regeneration fluid from the vessel off-line, and during the displacement, the flowrate of effluent from the displacement surge drum is increased to provide additional flow to the vessel off-line without having to reduce the flow to downstream units. In a specific embodiment, both process fluid and regeneration fluid are conducted to the displacement surge drum. The process fluid is used as described above. The regeneration fluid is used to displace process fluid from the vessel that is off-line prior to regeneration of the treating particles. In another specific embodiment, the treating particles are rinsed prior to regeneration to desorb and recycle any adsorbed reactant.
