摘要:
A process for the production of at least one isomer of xylenes comprising a simulated moving-bed adsorption (8) of a C8-aromatic feedstock (1) that delivers a paraxylene-rich fraction (9) that is optionally purified after a distillation (16) by at least one high-temperature crystallization (5) and a fraction (10) that is low in paraxylene is described. Fraction (10) is distilled and then isomerized (21) in the presence of an EUO-structural-type catalyst. The lightest hydrocarbons are removed from the isomerization effluent in a first distillation (23) then naphthenes in a second distillation (26), and distilled isomerization effluent (2) that results therefrom is recycled at least in part in adsorption (8). A mother liquor (3) that results from the crystallization stage is recycled at least in part in adsorption (8).
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for the production of at least one isomer of xylenes, preferably paraxylene, as well as benzene, starting from a C8-aromatic fraction, whereby said process comprises a zone for separation of xylenes, a zone for isomerization of aromatic compounds with 8 carbon atoms used in the presence of a catalyst that comprises at least one EUO-structural-type zeolite that is selected from among the EU-1, TPZ-3, ZSM-50 zeolites and at least one metal of group VIII of the periodic table, and finally a transalkylation zone of C7- and C9-aromatic compounds. The invention makes it possible to produce paraxylene and benzene with a high yield, starting from a C8-aromatic fraction that comprises a large amount of ethylbenzene with improved performance levels of the isomerization stage and a good conversion of ethylbenzene in the transalkylation stage.

A process for the production of at least one xylene isomer, paraxylene, metaxylene or orthoxylene from an aromatic feedstock that has 7 to 10 carbon atoms per molecule. The process comprises a stage for transalkylation of C7- and C9-aromatic compounds, a stage for separation of xylenes and a stage for isomerization of xylenes. The isomerization catalyst used in the process comprises at least one EUO zeolite composition whose crystals are grouped in aggregates that have a grain size with a value of Dv,90 less than or equal to 500 microns and at least one element of group VIII.
摘要:
A process for co-production of paraxylene and ethylbenzene comprises: (A) an adsorption stage of a feedstock of xylenes and ethylbenzene in a simulated moving bed that produces an extract of pure paraxylene and an ethylbenzene-rich raffinate; (B) an adsorption stage in a simulated moving bed, of raffinate from which desorbent has been removed that supplies an essentially pure ethylbenzene extract and an orthoxylene and metaxylene raffinate that contains desorbent; (C) a recover stage for the desorbent; (D) an isomerization stage for the orthoxylene and metaxylene raffinate in the presence of a catalyst that comprises an EUO-type zeolite; and (E) a stage for recycling the isomerate that is produced with adsorption.
摘要:
A process for co-production of paraxylene, metaxylene and/or orthoxylene from a hydrocarbon feedstock (1) that comprises [1] a separation stage of the feedstock in a simulated moving bed in a chromatographic column (9) that contains a number of beds of an adsorbent, interconnected in a loop, is described, whereby said column comprises an injection (3) of the feedstock, a draw-off (10) of an extract that consists of paraxylene and desorbent, an intermediate fraction (11) (extract or raffinate) that contains ethylbenzene, and a raffinate (12) that contains a mixture of metaxylene and orthoxylene that is virtually free of ethylbenzene and paraxylene and [2] a crystallization stage (27) of the metaxylene and/or orthoxylene fraction. Upstream from the adsorption zone and/or upstream from the crystallization zone, it is possible to distill the entering mixture to produce an orthoxylene-enriched fraction at the bottom and a metaxylene-enriched fraction at the top.
摘要:
A process is described for co-producing metaxylene and paraxylene from a hydrocarbon feed comprising two separation steps. The first step of the process is a counter-current simulated moving bed system in a chromatographic column containing at least five zones, comprising injecting the feed and injecting a desorbent and delivering an extract, a raffinate and an intermediate raffinate either continuously or discontinuously. The extract is distilled to obtain a paraxylene with a purity of at least 99.7%. The raffinate, which is richer in metaxylene, is distilled to extract the desorbent and injected into a counter-current simulated moving bed continuously delivering an extract and a raffinate. One of these two streams is enriched in metaxylene. The most metaxylene-rich stream is distilled to obtain metaxylene with a purity of more than 99%.

A coproduction process for ortho-xylene and para-xylene starting with a batch of hydrocarbons comprises a simulated counter-current fluidized bed system in a chromatographic column (6) containing at least five zones, comprising injection (1) of the batch and injection (2) of desorption agent and delivering an extract (3), a refined product (5), and an intermediate refined product (4). Refined product (5), richer in ortho-xylene than the intermediate refined product, is distilled (9) to extract desorption agent (15) and is injection, according to the second step of the process, into a simulated counter-current fluidized bed system (17) delivering an extract (18) and a refined product (19) continuously.
摘要:
A simulated moving bed (SMB) separation device comprises at least one column, beds of adsorbent arranged in this column, trays Pi with a chamber Ci for distribution and extraction of fluids, a multi-way rotary valve for the distribution of the fluids feeding or leaving said trays, and junction lines Li between this valve and said trays. The SMB device also comprises a plurality of bypass lines Li,i+1 between adjacent lines, these bypasses being outside the multi-way rotary valve and situated in proximity to this valve, for the circulation of rinsing liquids with a small or zero concentration gradient. The invention makes it possible to use all types of distribution and extraction trays and all types of adsorbent loading, while preserving a high level of product purity. Application of the separation devices is in particular to the separation of paraxylene or metaxylene from a C8 aromatic charge.

A separation element (8) arranged at distributor-collector part (3), thus delimiting two spaces (3a, 3b) for circulation of fluids.
