A PROCESS FOR CARRYING OUT CATALYTIC REACTIONS, SUCH AS, HYDROGENATION, DESULFURIZATION, HYDROCRACKING, INCLUDING HALOGENTAION, OXIDATION, SULFONATIN, NITRATION, AND AMIDIZATION OF HYDROCARBONS OR THE LIKE IN FIXED, SLURRIED, FLUIDIZED, AND EBULLATED BEDS UTILIZING A CATALYST HAVING MICOROPORES AND ACCESS CHANNEL; AND WHEREIN THE ACCESS CHANNELS ARE INTERSTITALLY SPACED THROUGOUT THE MICROPORES; AND WHEREIN 10 TO 40% OF THE TOTAL PORE VOLUME IS COMPOSED OF ACCESS CHANNELS HAVNG DIAMETERS GREATER THAN 1000 ANGSTROMS; AND WHEREIN 10 TO 40% OF THE TOTAL PORE VOLUME IS COMPOSED OF ACCESS CHANNELS HAVING DIAM-
ETERS BETWEEN ABOUT 100 AND 1000 ANGSTROMS; AND WHEREIN THESE ACCESS CHANNELS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY UNIFORM AS TO THEIR PARAMETERS AND ARE RELATIVELY STRAIGHT WITH MINUMUM BENDING AND CONSTRICTION; AND WHEREIN THE REMAINDER OF THE CATALYST PORE VOLUME COMPRISES MICROPORES WITH DIAMETERS LESS THAN 100 ANGSTROMS WITH THE REAMINDER BEING 20 TO 80% OF THE TOTAL PORE VOLUME. METHODS FOR PREPARING THIS CATALYST WITH RESPECT OT ORIENTATION OF THE ACCESS CHANNELS ARE DESCRIBED.
摘要:
A method for improved separation of liquids, gases and particulate solid materials in a liquid gas contacting process wherein a liquid feed and gas usually hydrogen are passed upwardly through a bed composed of a particulate contact agent, the velocity of the gas and the liquid being such that the particles are put in a state of random motion and the volume of the bed is expanded over its static volume and wherein an area of high liquid gas and liquid turbulence and mixing is created and wherein liquid effluent and gaseous effluents are removed from the contact zone. The method consists of effecting essentially complete disengagement of the gas from the mixture of particulate solids and liquid. The gas-free liquid-solid mixture is then introduced to a zone of relatively low turbulence and liquid is then removed from this zone at a rate whose lineal velocity is less than the settling velocity of the solid, thereby allowing substantial settling of the solid and resulting in the removal of a clarified liquid. The disengaged gaseous effluent may then be removed separately or recombined and removed with the liquid effluent. Apparatus for efficiently carrying out this process are described.

A PROCESS FOR DESULFURIZATION OF A RESIDUUM FEED MATERIAL AT LOW SEVERITIES WHEREIN THE CONVERSION OF 975* F.+ MATERIALS IN THE FEED IS LESS THAN 50%, UTILIZING A SERIES OF EBULLATED CATALYTIC BED HYDROGENATION REACTORS.
摘要:
Hydrocarbon fractions boiling below 975* F. are obtained by hydrocracking heavy hydrocarbon oils, containing 40-100 percent by volume of hydrocarbon fractions boiling above 975* F., in the liquid state in the presence of ebullated catalytic macroporous microspheres. These microspheres are smaller than 60 mesh (U.S. Standard) and larger than 325 mesh. They have a pore volume of at least 0.10 cc./g. in pores larger than 250 Angstroms (A) and at least 0.30 cc./g. in pores less than 250 A. The macroporous, microspheres have an average size such that 80 weight percent fall within a narrow size range and are ebullated by the upward flow of oil and hydrogen through the reactor during hydroconversion. The pore volume of the microspheres is critical as there must be a penetration of the hydrocarbon oil into the catalyst for at least a 3 percent gain in weight.
