摘要:
This invention presents a novel treating process for the removal of trace quantities of olefinic impurities from a hydrocarbon process stream. Specifically, this process operates at liquid phase conditions treating hydrocarbon streams comprising substantially aromatics and naphthenes having Bromine Index values of about 50 to 2,000. A solid medium comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite and a refractory oxide is used to reduce the level of olefin impurities to Bromine Index values of 0.1 to 50.

Enhanced recovery of crude oil from an oil well is provided by in-situ cracking of an oxygenated organic compound to form hydrogen. The crude oil is then hydrogenated and hydrogenation reaction products and crude oil are recovered from the oil well.

The invention provides a method to avoid catalyst damage and achieve longer catalyst life by selecting appropriate materials for reactor spacers, liners, catalyst binders, and supports, in particular, by not using crystalline silica-containing and high phosphorus-containing materials, if the presence of even small amount of steam is anticipated. In addition, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are avoided due to potential damage to the catalyst.

The present invention provides a reactor system having: (1) a first reactor receiving an oxygenate component and a hydrocarbon component and capable of converting the oxygenate component into a light olefin and the hydrocarbon component into alkyl aromatic compounds; (2) a separator system for providing a first product stream containing a C3 olefin, a second stream containing a C7 aromatic, and a third stream containing C8 aromatic compounds; (3) a first line connecting the separator to the inlet of the first reactor for conveying the second stream to the first reactor; (4) a second line in fluid communication with the separator system for conveying the C3 olefin to a propylene recovery unit, and (4) a third line in fluid communication with the separator system for conveying the C8 aromatic compounds to a xylene recovery unit.

摘要:
A catalyst for converting methanol to light olefins and the process for making and using the catalyst are disclosed and claimed. SAPO-34 is a specific catalyst that benefits from its preparation in accordance with this invention. A seed material is used in making the catalyst that has a higher content of the EL metal than is found in the principal part of the catalyst. The molecular sieve has predominantly a roughly rectangular parallelepiped morphology crystal structure with a lower fault density and a better selectivity for light olefins.
摘要:
Hydrothermal treatment of silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieves at temperatures in excess of about 700.degree. C. for periods sufficient to destroy a large proportion of their acid sites while retaining at least 80 percent of their crystallinity is found to result in a catalyst for converting methanol to lower olefins having increased catalyst life, increased selectivity for C.sub.2 -C.sub.3 olefins and decreased selectivity for paraffin production than the untreated SAPO-n starting composition.
摘要:
This invention relates to an improved process for converting methanol to light olefins using an ELAPO catalyst. The catalyst comprises a metal aluminophosphate molecular sieve having the empirical formula (EL.sub.x Al.sub.y P.sub.z)O.sub.2 where EL is a metal and x,y and z are mole fractions of EL, Al and P respectively. Preferred metals are silicon, magnesium and cobalt, with silicon especially preferred. The molecular sieve catalyst is composed of particles at least 50% of which have a particle size less than 1.0 .mu.m and no more than 10% of the particles have a particle size greater than 2.0 .mu.m. It is also preferred that the metal content (x) be from about 0.005 and 0.05 mole fraction.
摘要:
Superior isomerization performance is obtained in an isomerization process employing a catalytic composition comprising a Group VIII noble metal and a hydrogen form mordenite incorporated with alumina. The superior isomerization performance is achieved using a catalyst composition having a surface area of at least 580 m.sup.2 /g. A novel method of preparing an isomerization catalyst having a surface area of at least 580 m.sup.2 /g is characterized by contacting a formed catalytic composite with an acidic aqueous solution prior to addition of the Group VIII noble metal. The isomerization process is particularly useful in the isomerization of a dimethylnaphthalene containing feedstock into a product that contains a higher concentration of the 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene isomer than did the feedstock.
摘要:
An olefinic feedstock containing contaminants such as oxygenates may be oligomerized to a desired oligomer which contains a particular configuration. The process may be effected by utilizing a catalyst which comprises a porous support containing a catalytically effective amount of a non-stoichiometric hydrogen and oxygen-containing iron group metal compound in combination with a catalytically effective amount of an alkyl aluminum compound and an activator comprising an aluminum alkoxide. The presence of the latter compound in the catalyst compound will permit the catalyst to maintain its activity and stability over a relatively long period of time.
