摘要:
A low sulfur gasoline of relatively high octane number is produced from a catalytically cracked, sulfur-containing naphtha by hydrodesulfurization followed by octane enhancing treatment in a fluidized bed catalytic process, in the presence of an aromatics-rich feedstream. The process converts the hydrodesulfurized intermediate and the aromatics-rich feedstream to a gasoline boiling range fraction of high octane number. The fluidized bed catalytic process is carried out over zeolite catalyst particles in a turbulent reactor bed at a temperature of about 600.degree. to 800.degree. F. (316.degree. to 427.degree. C.) and pressure of about 100 to 250 psig (790 to 825 kPa. The catalyst has an apparent particle density of about 0.9 to 1.6 g/cm.sup.3 and a size range of about 1 to 150 microns, and average catalyst particle size of about 20 to 100 microns containing about 10 to 25 weight percent of fine particles having a particle size less than 32 microns. The feed vapor is passed upwardly through the fluidized catalyst bed under turbulent flow conditions; turbulent fluidized bed conditions are maintained through the reactor bed between transition velocity and transport velocity at a superficial fluid velocity of about 0.3 to 2 meters per second. Treatment in the fluidized bed catalytic process restores the octane loss which takes place as a result of the hydrogenative treatment and results in a low sulfur gasoline product with an octane number comparable to that of the feed naphtha.

摘要:
A process for multi-stage catalytic cracking is disclosed. A first stage cracks a first feed at atmospheric to 100 psig over a shape selective zeolite to convert from 10 to 90%, by volume, to lighter products rich in iso-compounds which may be used to make ethers. A second feed, which may include 700.degree. F.+ liquid from the selective cracking reaction, is cracked in a catalytic cracking (FCC) unit. Preferably all or some of the products from the shape selective cracking reactor are fractionated in the FCC main column.

摘要:
Methanol or other alcohol is converted to high octane gasoline components by an integrated process wherein crude aqueous alcohol feedstock is extracted with a liquid extractant stream containing C.sub.4 +iso-olefin and reacted to form tertiary-alkyl ethers, such as MTBE. The aqueous raffinate is converted to olefinic hydrocarbons in a MTO catalytic reactor. Propene from the MTO reaction is reacted with water to produce di-isopropyl ether, which may be blended with MTBE and C.sub.6 +MTO hydrocarbons to produce high octane gasoline. Isobutylene and isoamylenes from the MTO reaction can be recovered and recycled as a liquid extractant stream.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for dewaxing a waxy hydrocarbon feedstock and for upgrading the olefinic interstage by-product to a high-octane gasoline blending stream. Waxy hydrocarbon feedstock is catalytically dewaxed until the catalyst is deactivated. Hydrogen-rich gas or, optionally, oxygen-containing gas, is then circulated to at least partially reactivate the catalyst. The interstage by-product, stored during the dewaxing run, is then upgraded in the reaction zone to a high-octane gasoline blending component.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for the production of high octane gasoline rich in aromatics but containing a relatively low concentration of benzene. The process comprises the separation of C.sub.6 fraction of the gasoline feedstock into n-hexane and C.sub.6 isomers. The n-hexane and C.sub.7 + streams are catalytically reformed to produce a reformate with a diminished yield of benzene. The reformate is separated and the C.sub.6 - reformate fraction containing benzene is alkylated employing acidic metallosilicate catalyst such as ZSM-5 as the catalyst and preferably methano or propylene as the alkylating agent. The alkylate comprises C.sub.7+ alkylaromatics. The C.sub.6 isomers are blended into the gasoline pool.
