摘要:
A process for the production of high octane gasoline, or high octane gasoline blending components from a sulfur and nitrogen-containing feed composition of wide boiling range rich in fused multi-ring aromatic hydrocarbons containing two, and three or more rings in the molecule. The feed is first hydrogenated to desulfurize, denitrogenate and saturate one ring of the two-ring molecular species, but insufficient to saturate the second ring of said molecular species. The product, as a feed, is then hydrocracked to crack fused multi-ring aromatic hydrocarbons containing three or more rings to the molecule, and to produce lower molecular weight, lower boiling components. The product of the hydrocracker is then split into blends which include (i) a blend rich in fused two-ring aromatic hydrocarbons and (ii) a blend rich in fused multi-ring aromatic hydrocarbons containing three or more rings to the molecule. Blend (i) is selectively hydrogenated and cracked over a catalyst comprised of elemental iron and one or more alkali or alkaline-earth metals to produce gasoline or gasoline blending components, and blend (ii) is hydrocracked to produce gasoline or gasoline blending components.
摘要:
A process for the production of high octane gasoline, or high octane gasoline blending components, from a sulfur-containing feed rich in fused two-ring aromatic hydrocarbons, inclusive of naphthalenes. The feed is hydrogenated in a first reaction zone to desulfurize the feed and saturate one ring of the fused two-ring aromatic hydrocarbons, but insufficient to saturate the second ring of said molecular species, to form tetralins. The product, as a feed, is reacted in a second reaction zone over a catalyst comprised of elemental iron and one or more alkali or alkaline-earth metals components to selectively hydrogenate and crack the previously hydrogenated fused two-ring aromatic hydrocarbons to produce lower molecular weight higher octane components suitable per se as gasoline, or gasoline blending components. The feed rich in fused two-ring aromatic hydrocarbons can be split from a wider boiling range hydrocarbon to obtain, additionally, a component rich in fused multi-ring aromatic hydrocarbons having three or more rings to the molecule, which fraction can also be hydrogenated to produce other fuels, or raw materials feed components.

C. within 3 hours and holding at the final temperature, if necessary, for a time sufficient to reduce the hydrate and nitrogen contents to the aforesaid levels. Alternatively the catalyst can be made using a fluorine solution of pH less than 3.5 to a bulk fluorine level of about 10 wt % or less followed by heating in air or an oxygen containing atmosphere, or inert atmosphere at about 350.degree. to 450.degree. C.

An improved wax isomerization catalyst is described which is a hydrogenation metal on halogenated refractory metal oxide support catalyst characterized in that the catalyst is prepared by depositing the hydrogenation metal on the refractory metal oxide support followed by fluoriding using a low pH fluorine source such as aqueous HF. Thereafter the catalyst is crushed to expose inner surfaces, the crushed catalyst being sieved to remove fines, the catalyst charge having an average particle diameter of 1/32 inch and smaller across the longest continuous cross sectional dimension, preferably between 1/64 to 1/32". Alternatively, the catalyst is made by depositing a hydrogenation metal on a refractory metal support, crushing the material to a particle size of 1/32 inch and smaller across the longest continuous cross-sectional dimension and fluoriding said material using acidic fluorine source such as HF. Following sizing the sized catalyst is activated by heating in a hydrogen atmosphere.Isomerization using this "sized" catalyst is marked by the production of an isomerized dewaxed oil product having unexpectedly high VI and superior levels of selective conversion of wax to liquid isomerized product.

摘要:
This invention relates to novel catalysts, of two distinct types, useful for the catalytic hydroconversion of the 1050.degree.F.+ hydrocarbon material contained in heavy crudes and residua such that the resulting product will be suitable for further processing in conventional refinery operations allowing maximization of clean liquid products. Catalysts, which include Group VIB and Group VIII metals, preferably in admixture, and preferably including a Group IVA metal, notably germanium, having certain critical ranges of physical characteristics inclusive of large uniform pore sizes, are used for the conversion, these having been shown to possess improved catalytic activity and selectivity for the hydroconversion of the 1050.degree.F.+ materials of the heavy feeds and residua. Novel methods are described for the preparation of such catalysts, as well as for use of such catalysts. One of the catalysts, i.e., one having properties inclusive of a large number of pores in the 100-275A pore size diameter range, is particularly suitable as a first stage catalyst and the other, which has properties inclusive of a large number of pores in the 100-200A pore size diameter, is especially suitable as a second stage catalyst for use in processing the effluent of said first stage.

摘要:
A process for the preparation of novel highly active, highly selective hydrotreating catalysts. These catalysts are prepared, in bulk or in supported form, from a catalyst precursor characterized by the formula B.sub.x [Mo.sub.3 S.sub.z ] where B is an ammonium ion, polyammonium ion, tertiary or quaternary phosphonium ion, or a hydrocarbyl substituted ammonium ion, hydrocarbyl substituted polyammonium ion, or hydrocarbyl substituted tertiary or quaternary phosphonium ion, x is 1 where B is a divalent cationic moiety, or 2 where B is a monovalent cationic moiety, [Mo.sub.3 S.sub.z ] is a divalent anionic moiety wherein z is an integer greater than 15. The catalyst precursor is dispersed in an ammonium sulfide or dilute ammonium polysulfide solution and heated to remove sulfur from said catalyst precursor to provide a z value of 15 or less. Carbon is also removed from the catalyst precursor and, where B of the B.sub.x [Mo.sub.3 S.sub.z ] catalyst precursor is a non-carbon containing moiety, the finished catalyst will contain an atomic ratio of C/Mo of less than about 0.05. Decomposition of the catalyst precursor in the presence of hydrogen, hydrocarbon and sulfur forms the highly active hydrotreating catalyst.
