摘要:
Some embodiments of the present invention relate to a portable charcoal grill where, in the closed position, charcoal may be supplied through an opened chimney lid located at the top of the grill, and lit paper or other kindling material may be inserted through an opening to an ignition area located at the bottom of the grill in order to ignite the charcoal. The chimney effect created by the shape and directionality of the closed portable grill may aid in heating and igniting the charcoal. Once the charcoal is at the proper burning point, the portable grill may be safely opened up and a large grilling area may be available for cooking. The legs, which can be used as carrying handles for the grill, may be secured in place by a unique joint that has two or more distinct positions.

摘要:
Light olefins are converted to gasoline with a high enough content of ethers to provide a significant octane improvement over a base (or `cracking`) gasoline (clear RON=90-92; clear MON=79-80). One portion of the olefins is hydrated to produce alcohols, and the other is used to synthesize an olefin-rich gasoline. The alcohols are used to etherify the gasoline. The combination of unit operations minimizes the energy needed to run the process for which no external solvent is needed. The process capitalizes on the higher solubility in gasoline of ethanol, propanol and butanol, compared to methanol. Besides having very low solubility in gasoline, etherification with methanol or ethanol produces an inadequately rewarding increase in octane number, compared to propanol or isopropanol. Taking advantage of the inherent chemical and physical properties of C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 alcohol/gasoline mixtures results both in an unexpectedly high octane number for the ether-rich gasoline as well as an effective and economical process for producing it. The improvement in octane is particularly noteworthy because the weight percent of oxygen in olefinic gasoline etherified with C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 alcohols is less than one-half that of gasoline etherified with either C.sub.1 or C.sub.2 alcohol.

In a process for producing cyclohexanone, cyclohexylbenzene is oxidized to produce cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide and then the resultant cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide is cleaved to produce an effluent stream comprising phenol and cyclohexanone. At least a portion of the effluent stream is then fed to at least one hydrogenation reaction zone, where the effluent stream portion is contacted with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst under conditions effective to convert at least part of the phenol in the effluent portion into cyclohexanone.
摘要:
Para-xylene is produced by toluene methylation by charging toluene and a methylating agent to a fluidized bed of catalyst at a rate sufficient to maintain the fluidized bed in a turbulent sub-transport flow regime, reacting the toluene with the methylating agent, and recovering para-xylene from the fluidized bed. The fluidizable catalyst is a microporous material having a Constraint Index of about 1 to about 12. The relative concentration of the catalyst particles having a major dimension of less than 40 microns is controlled at between about 5 and 35 weight percent. The catalyst particles have an apparent particle density of about 0.9 to 1.6 grams per cubic centimeter, a size range of about 1 to 150 microns, and average particle size of about 20 to 100 microns.
摘要:
A moderate pressure hydrocracking process in which a highly aromatic, substantially dealkylated feedstock is processed to high octane gasoline and low sulfur distillate by hydrocracking over a catalyst, preferably comprising ultrastable Y and a Group VIII metal and a Group VI metal, in which the amount of the Group VIII metal content is incorporated at specified proportion into the framework aluminum content of the ultrastable Y component. The feedstock which is preferably a light cycle oil has an aromatic content of at least 50, usually at least 60 percent, and an API gravity not more than 25. The hydrocracking typically operates at 400-1000 psig at moderate to high conversion levels to maximize the production of monocyclic aromatics which provide the requisite octane value to the product gasoline. The distillate products from the hydrocracker are reduced in their sulfur content.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for upgrading C.sub.5 -C.sub.8 olefin-containing gasoline to a high octane motor gasoline blending component.C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 olefins are hydrated to alcohols and then selectively removed from the aqueous hydration reactor effluent stream via liquid extraction with the gasoline feedstream. The alcohol enriched gasoline extract stream is then etherified and unreacted alcohols are extracted to yield a high octane gasoline blending component free of metal-bearing additives.

摘要:
A catalytic cracking process is disclosed in which octane improvement is attained by the addition to conventional cracking catalysts of small amounts of additive catalyst comprising a class of zeolites characterized by a silica to alumina mole ratio greater than about 12 and a Constraint Index of about 1 to 12 bound in a matrix chosen such that the matrix component forms a thermodynamically favored compound with selected cations. Sustained catalytic activity is achieved by pre-exchanging the catalyst to a high level of selected cation loading. By extending the active life of the additive catalyst, markedly lower makeup catalyst addition rates are required.
