摘要:
A process is provided for selectively producing diesel fuel with increased cetane number from a hydrocarbon feedstock. The process includes contacting the feedstock with a catalyst which has a large pore crystalline molecular sieve material component having a faujasite structure and alpha acidity of less than 1, preferably about 0.3 or less. The catalyst also contains a dispersed Group VIII noble metal component which catalyzes the hydrogenation/hydrocracking of the aromatic and naphthenic species in the feedstock.
摘要:
A two stage process useful for cetane upgrading of diesel fuels. More particularly, the invention relates to a process for selective naphthenic ring-opening utilizing an extremely low acidic distillate selective catalyst having highly dispersed Pt. The process is a two stage process wherein the first stage is a hydrotreating stage for removing sulfur from the feed and the second stage is the selective ring-opening stage.
摘要:
A process, preferably in a counter-current configuration, for selectively cracking carbon-carbon bonds of naphthenic species using a low acidic catalyst, preferably having a crystalline molecular sieve component and carrying a Group VIII noble metal. The diesel fuel products are higher in cetane number and diesel yield.
摘要:
A hydrocracking catalyst is provided that includes a crystalline molecular sieve material component having a faujasite structure and an alpha acidity of less than 1, preferably 0.3 or less, and a dispersed Group VIII noble metal component. The extremely low acidity allows selective hydrocracking of the aromatic and naphthenic species in a feedstock, while limiting the cracking of paraffins. The catalyst produces improved yields of products, such as diesel fuel, at high conversion rates and with high cetane values.

A process for catalytic cracking and C3/C4 olefin alkylation with phosphorus stabilized faujasite catalyst is disclosed. Catalytic cracking produces C3 and C4 olefins, which are alkylated using phosphorus stabilized and water activated cracking catalyst. Spent alkylation catalyst may be discharged into the FCC unit.

A process is described for redispersing agglomerated metal on a catalyst. The catalyst comprises noble metal on a low acidity oxide support, and the process comprises contacting the catalyst with a gas stream containing about 3 to about 6 Torr chlorine and about 250 to about 750 Torr oxygen under conditions sufficient to achieve redispersion.
摘要:
A process is described for rejuvenation of a deactivated highly siliceous noble metal-containing zeolite catalyst having a framework silica to alumina ratio of at least about 20 which contains agglomerated noble metal in its deactivated state. The process comprises redispersing the noble metals associated with the deactivated catalyst by contacting the catalyst with a stream of inert gas containing molecular chlorine, water and optionally, oxygen, a temperatures ranging from about 150.degree. to about 450.degree. C., a partial pressure of chlorine of from about 6 to about 15 Torr and a ratio of partial pressure of water to partial pressure of chlorine of from about 0.01 to about 2 for a period of time sufficient to achieve redispersion; purging said catalyst with an inert gas; and reducing said purged catalyst in a stream of hydrogen at a temperature ranging from about 140.degree. C. to 550.degree. C.
摘要:
A process for producing lubricant oils of low pour point and high viscosity index by first carrying out a partial dewaxing of a lubricant base stock in an initial catalytic dewaxing operation, followed by a selective dewaxing step. The initial catalytic dewaxing step is carried out using a large pore, high silica zeolite dewaxing catalyst such as high silica Y or zeolite beta which dewaxes by isomerizing the waxy components of the base stock to less waxy brance chain isoparaffins but the severity of the operation is controlled so as to effect only a partial removal of the waxy components. Further removal of the waxy components is effected during the subsequent dewaxing step which is selective for the removal of the more waxy n-paraffin components, leaving the branched chain isoparaffins which contribute to a high VI in the product. The selective dewaxing step may be either a solvent, e.g. MEK dewaxing operation or a catalytic dewaxing using a highly shape selective zeolite such as ZSM-22 or ZSM-23. The severity of the initial catalytic dewaxing operation may be controlled so as to effect a net increase in the content of isoparaffins and because of the selective nature of the solvent dewaxing step, this increased isoparaffins concentration may be retained, producing a product of high VI. The pour point of the feedstock is preferably reduced during the initial catalytic dewaxing step to a value which is no lower than 10.degree. F. and preferably no lower than 20.degree. F., above the target pour point for the products. Generally, this will entail a reduction of at least 10.degree. F. and preferably at least 20.degree. F. in the pour point of the feed.
摘要:
A process for alkylating aromatic compounds wherein the product aromatics are provided with one or more alkyl groups possessing at least two carbon atoms is disclosed wherein starting aromatic compound(s) and an alkylating atent which is a mixture of hydrogen and/or a hydrogen-containing substance which provides hydrogen under process conditions and a carbon oxide, e.g., a mixture of syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) are reacted at elevated temperature in the presence of an activated catalyst containing metal values selected from the group consisting of iron, cobalt, ruthenium, manganese, rhodium and osmium, and a zeolite having a constraint index of 12 or less, e.g., ZSM-5. The alkylated aromatics can be dealkylated by known and conventional means to provide olefin and the dealkylated aromatics can be recycled to the alkylation zone.

A dual function composite catalyst for isomerizing an isomerization feed containing an aromatic C.sub.8 mixture of ethyl benzene and xylene, comprises (a) a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a low acid activity as measured by an alpha value of from 0.02 to 11, an average crystal size of not more than 0.4 microns for at least 50% by weight of the crystals, a silica to alumina ratio of at least about 12, a constraint index of about 1 to 12, a xylene sorption capacity greater than 1 gram per 100 grams of zeolite, and an ortho-xylene sorption time for 30 percent of said capacity less than 10 minutes, said sorption capacity and sorption time being measured at 120.degree. C. and a xylene pressure of 4.5.+-.0.8 mm of mercury, and (b) a supported metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table having a high hydrogenation/dehydrogenation activity to provide the catalyst with a dehydrogenation activity of at least 10. The catalyst has an alpha value of 0.005 to 3.
