摘要:
The present invention discloses a process for increasing the selectivity of the production of isobutylene in an admixture of C.sub.4 olefins, in a process comprising producing isobutylene, with high selectivity, comprising catalytically producing a first composition comprising at least one C.sub.4 olefin selected from the group consisting of 1-butene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, admixtures thereof and 2-methylpropene admixed with at least one of said 1-butene, cis-2-butene, and trans-2-butene, by passing paraffin containing feed, which feed is free of aromatics, and in which the paraffin contains 5 to 20 carbon atoms, in the vapor phase, over a first catalyst composition, wherein the catalyst comprises ZSM-5 or ZSM-12, and increasing the isobutylene content of the first composition by producing a second composition, by contacting the first composition with a second catalyst composition comprising ZSM-23 under conditions in which the second composition is in the vapor phase, while maintaining the total C.sub.4 olefin content of the second composition substantially identical to the total C.sub.4 olefin content of the first composition.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for the production of tertiary alkyl ethers wherein linear olefins, particularly n-butene, are isomerized in the vapor phase at high temperature in contact with shape selective metallosilicate catalyst to produce iso-olefin vapor, particularly isobutene. The vaporous iso-butene is then etherified with alkanol to provide alkyl tert-alkyl ether such as MTBE. Unreacted iso-olefin and/or linear olefin and product ether are separated by fractionation and unreacted olefin components recycled. Fractionation of the vapor phase etherification product is carried out by using the fresh liquid linear olefin feedstream as a reflux stream to the fractionator.
摘要:
A process for synthesizing di-isopropyl ether (DIPE) by etherification of isopropanol. A multi-stage process can employ propene in mixture with other feedstock materials, such as propane from refinery gas, in a primary hydration stage to produce isopropanol. The isopropanol is enriched between stages to remove water. In the second reaction stage the isopropanol is converted catalytically with large pore acidic zeolite to yield DIPE, which can be separated to recover pure propene.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for converting a light hydrocarbon feedstock that contains a mixture of linear and branched olefins to ether-rich high octane gasoline streams that include tertiary alkyl and isoalkyl ethers such as MTBE, TAME, methyl isopropyl ether (MIPE), and methyl sec-butylether (MSBE). The conversion is achieved by utilizing the differing reactivity of tertiary olefins under selected conditions compared to linear olefins in the catalyzed etherification processes. The discovery has been made that unreacted olefins from the etherification reactions can be converted to gasoline boiling range hydrocarbons by contacting them with zeolite catalyst at elevated temperature. Further, it has been discovered that unreacted paraffins in the integrated process can be dehydrogenated to produce C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 olefins which can be recycled to the etherification process.

The invention relates to improving the selectivity of the production of isobutylene or 2-methylpropene during fluid catalytic cracking of heavy C.sub.9 + aromatic containing feeds including resids and/or gas oils by employing two catalyst components, one of which comprises ZSM-23, ZSM-22, ZSM-35 or similarly structured catalysts and the other catalyst component being effective under the fluid catalytic cracking conditions to produce high octane gasoline.
摘要:
A low sulfur gasoline of relatively high octane number is produced from a catalytically cracked, sulfur-containing naphtha by hydrodesulfurization followed by octane enhancing treatment in a fluidized bed catalytic process, in the presence of an aromatics-rich feedstream. The process converts the hydrodesulfurized intermediate and the aromatics-rich feedstream to a gasoline boiling range fraction of high octane number. The fluidized bed catalytic process is carried out over zeolite catalyst particles in a turbulent reactor bed at a temperature of about 600.degree. to 800.degree. F. (316.degree. to 427.degree. C.) and pressure of about 100 to 250 psig (790 to 825 kPa. The catalyst has an apparent particle density of about 0.9 to 1.6 g/cm.sup.3 and a size range of about 1 to 150 microns, and average catalyst particle size of about 20 to 100 microns containing about 10 to 25 weight percent of fine particles having a particle size less than 32 microns. The feed vapor is passed upwardly through the fluidized catalyst bed under turbulent flow conditions; turbulent fluidized bed conditions are maintained through the reactor bed between transition velocity and transport velocity at a superficial fluid velocity of about 0.3 to 2 meters per second. Treatment in the fluidized bed catalytic process restores the octane loss which takes place as a result of the hydrogenative treatment and results in a low sulfur gasoline product with an octane number comparable to that of the feed naphtha.

A first stage cracks a first feed at atmospheric to 100 psig over a shape selective zeolite to convert from 10 to 90%, by volume, to lighter products rich in iso-compounds which may be used to make ethers. A second feed, which may include 700.degree. F.+ liquid from the selective cracking reaction, is cracked in a catalytic cracking (FCC) unit. Preferably all or some of the products from the shape selective cracking reactor are fractionated in the FCC main column.
