摘要:
A process and an assembly for simultaneously evaluating a plurality of catalysts is provided wherein the flow rate of a reactive fluid to each of a plurality of reactors is automatically adjusted based on the measured amount of catalyst sample in each reactor to concurrently obtain a substantially identical fluid space velocity in each of the reactors.
摘要:
A process combination is disclosed to selectively upgrade naphtha to obtain products suitable for further upgrading to reformulated fuels. A naphtha feedstock is hydrogenated to saturate aromatics, followed by selective isoparaffin synthesis to yield light and heavy naphtha and isobutane; isobutane and isopentane in the product are obtained in superequilibrium concentrations. The heavy naphtha may be processed by reforming, light naphtha may be isomerized, and isobutane may be upgraded by dehydrogenation, etherification and/or alkylation to yield gasoline components from the process combination suitable for production of reformulated gasoline.
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.
摘要:
An improved process for the isomerization of non-equilibrium C.sub.8 aromatics is presented which utilizes a novel catalytic composition. This catalyst comprises phosphorus-containing alumina, a gallium component, and crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a silica to alumina ratio of at least 12. The isomerization process has a particular utility for the conversion of ethylbenzene without the deleterious loss of xylene.

An improved process is disclosed for the isomerization of a non-equilibrium mixture of cresols to achieve a high yield of one or more cresol isomers using a catalyst comprising a Group VIII metal, a modifier, a pentasil zeolite, and an inorganic oxide binder.
摘要:
An improved process for the isomerization of non-equilibrium C.sub.8 aromatics is presented which utilizes a catalytic composition prepared by a novel method of incorporating magnesium into a crystalline aluminosilicate. The catalyst comprises an alumina matrix, a magnesium-containing zeolite, and a Group VIII metal component. It has also been found that the method of magnesium addition can dramatically affect the selectivity to para-xylene, as measured by the loss of C.sub.8 aromatics due to undesirable side-reactions. The method of the instant invention involves addition of the magnesium to a hydrogel comprising pseudoboehmite and zeolite.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for reducing benzene and toluene content in light gasoline streams comprising benzene or benzene and toluene but comprising substantially no other aromatic-hydrocarbons. The light gasoline streams may be prepared by distillation of full boiling range gasoline streams from catalytic reforming or fluidized-bed catalytic cracking units. High alkylating agent to benzene ratios are utilized in the presence of a solid alkylation catalyst to achieve a benzene conversion of 70% of more in a single pass through the reaction zone. Alkylating agent is simultaneously injected into the alkylation zone at two or more separate injection points to minimize undersirable side reactions. The alkylation product may be recovered and blended with other gasoline components to produce automotive fuel which is low in benzene content and high octane in rating.
摘要:
An improved catalyst is disclosed for the conversion of aromatic hydrocarbons which comprise a Group VIII metal, lead, a pentasil zeolite, and an inorganic oxide binder, wherein 80-100% of the Group VIII metal and 60-100% of the lead are contained on the binder. An alkylaromatic isomerization process also is disclosed which is particularly effective for the conversion of ethylbenzene without substantial loss of xylenes.
