摘要:
A process for removing sulfone from a liquid hydrocarbon containing a concentration of sulfone by mixing a liquid acid therewith and thereafter separating the resulting admixture into an acid phase and a hydrocarbon phase. The hydrocarbon phase has a concentration of sulfone less than such concentration in the liquid hydrocarbon.

Methods of oligomerizing hydrocarbons are disclosed. These methods include contacting olefins with an oligomerization catalyst in an oligomerization zone under oligomerization reaction conditions.
摘要:
A process for disproportionating isopentane into isomers of hexane and butane that utilizes a fixed bed reactor employing a catalyst composition comprising aluminum halide. The process additionally includes a product separation zone which can be configured to recover and return at least a portion of the isopentane product stream to the inlet of the disproportionation reactor.
摘要:
Disclosed is a process for separating sulfone and hydrogen fluoride from hydrocarbon streams containing a concentration of such compounds. An extraction solvent laden with sulfone and HF is contacted with a reversible base in order to remove the HF therefrom. The thus-treated extract stream is separated into a water stream that can be reused as the water extractant and a sulfone stream that is suitably free of HF.
摘要:
An alkylation process for reacting alkylatable hydrocarbons in the presence of a sulfolane and hydrofluoric acid catalyst within a natural circulation reaction and circulation system.
摘要:
Disclosed is an alkylation process which utilizes a mixture of sulfone and hydrogen fluoride as an alkylation catalyst. The process provides for the regeneration of an alkylation catalyst having ASO therein by separating HF from the ASO and sulfone components. The ASO and sulfone are thereafter separated to provide sulfone which is substantially free of ASO.

摘要:
A method of minimizing or controlling the production of synthetic isopentane during the catalyzed alkylation reaction of amylenes and isoparaffins by providing a concentration of isopentane in the alkylation reactor feed material.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus relate to separating and removing aromatic compounds from a hydrocarbon stream. Splitting of the hydrocarbon stream into constituents as desired relies on a membrane and distillation columns that supply feed into the membrane and receive retentate and permeate streams output from the membrane. Configurations employing the membrane and the distillation columns enable benzene recovery and facilitate efficient separation.
