摘要:
A process for producing a cracked distillate and hydrogen from a heavy oil which comprises cracking the heavy oil in the presence of laterite or a laterite-containing catalyst while simultaneously depositing coke on said laterite or laterite-containing catalysts, reducing the laterite or laterite-containing catalyst on which the coke is deposited, and forming a hydrogen-rich gas by contacting the reduced laterite or laterite-containing catalyst with steam.
摘要:
A catalyst is described for use in a process for oxidizing and/or cracking a heavy hydrocarbon under fluidizing conditions in the presence of the catalyst, including simultaneously or subsequently reducing iron oxides in said catalyst and then reacting the reduced oxidation-state iron with steam to produce hydrogen, said catalyst consisting essentially of from 30 to 60 wt % Fe, 0.1 to 10 wt % Ni, and 10 wt % or less SiO.sub.2, and having a specific surface area of from 0.1 to 30 m.sup.2 /g and an apparent specific gravity of from 2.5 to 4.0.
摘要:
A process is described for cracking a heavy hydrocarbon to form a light oil and for producing hydrogen by the use of a catalyst containing at least 30 wt % Fe which comprises a first step wherein steam and heavy hydrocarbon are simultaneously contacted with the catalyst in a reduced state to produce hydrogen, cracked gases, and a cracked light oil, to oxidize the reduced-state catalyst, and to deposit coke on the catalyst; and a second step wherein the oxidized-state catalyst on which said coke is deposited is contacted with an oxygen-containing gas insufficient for achieving complete combustion of the coke, to thereby partially combust the coke and regenerate the catalyst to a reduced state.
摘要:
A process for processing a sulfur-containing heavy oil, which comprises:in a first zone, catalytically cracking a sulfur-containing heavy oil in the presence of fluidized catalyst particles containing about 30 to 60 wt % Fe to thereby convert the heavy oil to a light oil, deposit sulfur-containing coke on the catalyst particles, and partially fixing the decomposed sulfur compounds with the reduced iron contained in the catalyst particles as iron sulfide;in a second zone, contacting the catalyst from the first zone with an oxygen containing gas in an amount less than that theoretically required to thereby partially combust the coke on the catalyst, reduce the iron in the catalyst, and fix the sulfur compounds contained in the coke as iron sulfide; andin a third zone, contacting the reduced catalyst from the second zone with steam in a fluidized manner to produce hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide and to convert the reduced iron and iron sulfide in the catalyst to iron oxides, with the iron oxide-containing catalyst obtained in the third zone being recirculated into the second zone to be reduced and a part of the reduced-state catalyst obtained in the second zone being recirculated into the first zone.
