摘要:
A process for producing a cracked distillate and hydrogen from a heavy oil which comprises cracking the heavy oil in the presence of laterite or a laterite-containing catalyst while simultaneously depositing coke on said laterite or laterite-containing catalysts, reducing the laterite or laterite-containing catalyst on which the coke is deposited, and forming a hydrogen-rich gas by contacting the reduced laterite or laterite-containing catalyst with steam.

A process for hydrotreating petroleum fractions wherein a hydrogen-rich gas stream passed through the reaction zone on a once-through basis is obtained by passing a hydrogen-containing feed gas stream through an absorber which removes light paraffins. The gas separated from the reaction zone effluent by partial condensation is passed into a stripper as the stripping media used to remove these same light paraffins from the liquid used in the absorber.

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.

A multiple stage process is described for the catalytic hydrodesulfurization and hydrodemetallization of a residual petroleum oil boiling above the gasoline range. The product of the process comprises essentially material boiling above the gasoline range and comprises little material boiling below the initial boiling point of the residual oil feed. The hydrodesulfurization-demetallization process comprises an initial stage involving relatively high hydrogen pressure in the presence of a catalyst comprising a relatively low proportion of catalytically active hydrogenation metals. Hydrogen sulfide is removed from the process after the initial stage and the process employs a final stage in series having a relatively lower hydrogen pressure and a catalyst comprising a relatively higher proportion of hydrogenation metals. The stream entering the final stage contains hydrogen sulfide or a hydrogen sulfide precursor added thereto and contains an amount up to 10, 20 or even 25 weight percent of the asphaltene content of the charge to the first stage while the effluent from the final stage is essentially free of asphaltenes.

The final stage effluent is therefore suitable as a residual lubricating oil feedstock without requiring a solvent deasphalting step.

Petroleum residues are reduced in sulfur content by intimately contacting one volume of petroleum residue with at least 0.25 volume of alkali metal sulfide hydrate melt, or alkali metal hydroxide hydrate melt or mixtures thereof, within a closed system, at a temperature between 120.degree. C. and 325.degree. C., for from 3 to 60 minutes, thereafter separating de-sulfured petroleum residue from said alkali metal sulfide hydrate melt by a hot liquid-liquid separation, thereafter utilizing said separated alkali metal sulfide hydrate melt to de-sulfur additional petroleum residue.

A process for the production of lubricating oils from petroleum stocks containing significant quantities of sulfur and lubricating oil components boiling above about 650.degree. F. (343.degree.

摘要:
A multiple stage hydrodesulfurization process is described for the catalytic hydrodesulfurization and hydrodemetallization of a residual petroleum oil boiling above the gasoline range to prepare a zeolite riser cracking feed. The product of the hydrodesulfurization section comprises essentially material boiling above the gasoline range and comprises little material boiling within the gasoline range in order to preserve the feed for subsequent cracking to gasoline without added hydrogen. The hydrodesulfurization-demetallization section comprises an initial stage involving relatively high hydrogen pressure in the presence of a catalyst comprising a relatively low proportion of catalytically active hydrogenation metals. The process employs a final stage in series employing a relatively lower hydrogen pressure and a catalyst comprising a relatively higher proportion of hydrogenation metals. The stream entering the final stage contains an amount up to 10, 20 or even 25 weight percent of the asphaltene content of the charge to the first stage while the effluent from the final stage is essentially free of asphaltenes. The metals content of the final stage effluent is so low that said effluent can be charged without blending with a distillate oil to a fluidized zeolite riser cracking unit (FCC) to produce gasoline and fuel oil so that the zeolite catalyst make-up requirement due to metals accumulation on the zeolite catalyst is no greater than the zeolite make-up requirement when a distillate gas oil comprises the entire feed to the riser.
