摘要:
An adsorbent for selective removal of sulfur from a hydrocarbon feedstock includes a matrix material having a surface area of at least about 400 m2/g and a surface acidity of less than about 0.20 μmol/m2; and a metal phase dispersed through the matrix, the metal phase being selective to reversible adsorption of sulfur. A process for using and method for making the adsorbent are also provided.

A process for preparing ethers includes the steps of: providing a feedstock containing iso-olefins selected from the group consisting of C5 iso-olefins, C6 iso-olefins and mixtures thereof; mixing the feedstock with alkyl alcohol so as to provide a reaction feedstock, feeding the reaction feedstock to a reactor zone in the presence of a first etherification catalyst whereby the alkyl alcohol reacts with the iso-olefins to form alkyl-tert-alkyl ethers so as to provide an intermediate feedstock containing the ethers and unreacted iso-olefins and alkyl alcohol; feeding the intermediate feedstock to a catalytic distillation column having a second etherification catalyst defining a catalytic zone; mixing additional alkyl alcohol to the intermediate feedstock so as to form azeotropes of the alkyl alcohol with the unreacted iso-olefins without forming azeotropes of the alkyl alcohol with the ethers whereby the catalytic zone is substantially free of the ethers and the unreacted iso-olefins react with said alkyl alcohol in the catalytic zone to form additional alkyl-tert-alkyl ethers.
摘要:
An adsorption/desorption process for selectively removing nitriles from a hydrocarbon feedstock includes the steps of: (a) providing a hydrocarbon feedstock having a nitrile content of less than or equal to about 400 ppm; (b) providing an adsorbent for selective removal of nitrile from a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising a substantially homogeneous mixture of a cationic nonacidic zeolite and an inorganic oxide matrix, the zeolite having an accessibility index of between about 0.1 to about 0.4; (c) contacting the feedstock and the adsorbent at nitrile adsorption conditions whereby at least about 80% of the nitrile content is adsorbed by the adsorbent during contact with at least about 200 volumes of the feedstock per volume of the adsorbent so as to provide a used adsorbent having nitrile molecules adsorbed thereon; and (d) contacting the used adsorbent with a desorbent at desorption conditions so as to remove the nitrile molecules and provide a renewed adsorbent.
摘要:
A process is provided for simultaneous selective hydrogenation of diolefins and nitriles from a hydrocarbon feedstock, wherein hydrogenation is carried out using a catalyst in one reactor zone while partially deactivated catalyst in another reactor zone is regenerated.
