摘要:
Processes for the direct alkylation of ethylene with isobutane or isopentane using a highly active ionic liquid alkylation catalyst are described. Ethylene is sent to a high-temperature alkylation reactor loop, and C3, C4, and C5 olefins are routed to a low temperature alkylation reactor loop. In each reactor, the olefins are contacted with an excess of isobutane or isopentane in the presence of a highly active ionic liquid catalyst. Portions of the reactor effluent streams are fed to a common downstream catalyst separation and product fractionation sections. The remainder of the reactor effluent is recycled back to the respective alkylation reactor.

Methods and reactors are provided for producing acetylene. The method includes combusting a fuel with oxygen in a combustor to produce a carrier gas, and accelerating the carrier gas to a supersonic speed in a converging/diverging nozzle prior to the carrier gas entering a reaction zone. A nozzle exit temperature of the carrier gas is controlled from about 1,200° C. to about 2,500° C. Methane is added to the carrier gas in the reaction zone, and kinetic energy in the carrier gas is converted to thermal energy in the reaction zone to increase the temperature of the carrier gas such that the methane reacts by pyrolysis to form the acetylene.

Apparatuses and processes are provided for regulating C7 and C8 feed to an aromatics complex to increase the ratio of a selected xylene isomer to benzene ratio. Reformate may be split into three cuts in a splitter column. A side cut stream comprises predominantly C7 hydrocarbons and a bottoms steam from the splitter column comprises predominantly C8+ hydrocarbons. The relative proportion of the C7 and C8+ hydrocarbon streams sent to the aromatics complex are metered to determine the resulting ratio of a selected xylene isomer to benzene produced by the aromatics complex.

A method of hydrocarbon conversion is described. The hydrocarbon feed is decontaminated using an ionic liquid and introduced into a conversion zone. The conversion of the decontaminated feed is increased compared to the conversion of the contaminated feed and the yield of the desired product made from the decontaminated hydrocarbon feed is increased compared to the yield of the desired product made from the contaminated hydrocarbon feed.

摘要:
A method of making light olefins is described. The method involves producing an alkyne in a pyrolysis process. The alkyne is catalytically hydrogenated in a hydrogenation zone to produce a product stream containing a light olefin. A byproduct stream from the pyrolysis process comprises carbon oxide and hydrogen. The byproduct stream is treated to convert the carbon oxide and the hydrogen to an oxygenated product in a carbon oxide conversion zone, which can then be converted to an olefin in an oxygenate to olefin process.

Methods and systems are provided for converting methane in a feed stream to acetylene. The method includes removing at least a portion of carbon dioxide from a hydrocarbon stream. The hydrocarbon stream is introduced into a supersonic reactor and pyrolyzed to convert at least a portion of the methane to acetylene. The reactor effluent stream may be treated to convert acetylene to another hydrocarbon process. The method according to the invention provides certain aspects includes controlling the level of carbon dioxide in the hydrocarbon stream and in a fuel stream that is first sent to a combustion zone and then to the supersonic reactor. The results of removal of carbon dioxide include maintaining the shock location in the supersonic reactor and maintaining the acetylene yield without the production of undesired products such as carbon monoxide.
摘要:
Recycle of an extract stream containing a contaminant is used to improve recovery of hydrocarbons in a contaminant removal process. At least a portion of an extract stream is recycled to a contaminant extraction zone and contacted with rich ionic liquid. Contaminants in the recycle extract stream are transferred to the rich ionic liquid.
