    摘要: Provided is a method for producing 1,3-butadiene that enables 1,3-butadiene to be obtained in a high yield while preventing abnormal reaction of a fraction containing vinylacetylene in high concentration. The method for producing 1,3-butadiene is a method for producing 1,3-butadiene from a fraction produced in separation and recovery of 1,3-butadiene from a C4 hydrocarbon mixture that includes: adding a diluent to a high VA fraction containing vinylacetylene to produce a diluted fraction; and subjecting the diluted fraction to hydrogenation treatment to produce 1,3-butadiene. Substantially only a low VA fraction is used as the diluent. The low VA fraction is a fraction that is produced in separation and recovery of 1,3-butadiene from the C4 hydrocarbon mixture and has a lower vinylacetylene concentration than the high VA fraction.

    摘要: A composition containing a supported hydrogenation catalyst comprising palladium and a support, wherein the supported hydrogenation catalyst is capable of selectively hydrogenating highly unsaturated hydrocarbons to unsaturated hydrocarbons, and a dopant, wherein the dopant comprises at least one component selected from zwitterions, ylides, betaines, or combinations thereof. A method of making a selective hydrogenation catalyst by contacting a support with a palladium-containing compound to form a supported-palladium composition, contacting the supported-palladium composition with a dopant to form a selective hydrogenation catalyst precursor, wherein the dopant comprises at least one component selected from zwitterions, ylides, betaines, or combinations thereof, and reducing the selective hydrogenation catalyst precursor to form the selective hydrogenation catalyst. A selective hydrogenation catalyst produced via the method of making a selective hydrogenation catalyst, and a method of selectively hydrogenating highly unsaturated hydrocarbons to an unsaturated hydrocarbon enriched composition are also provided.

    摘要: Producing C5 olefins from steam cracker C5 reeds may include reacting a mixed hydrocarbon stream comprising cyclopentadiene, C5 olefins, and C6+ hydrocarbons in a dimerization reactor where cyclopentadiene is dimerized to dicyclopentadiene. The dimerization reactor effluent may be separated into a traction comprising the C6+ hydrocarbons and dicyclopentadiene and a second fraction comprising C5 olefins and C5 dienes. The second fraction, a saturated hydrocarbon diluent stream, and hydrogen may be fed to a catalytic distillation reactor system for concurrently separating linear C5 olefins from saturated hydrocarbon diluent, cyclic C5 olefins, and C5 dienes contained in the second fraction and selectively hydrogenating C5 dienes. An overhead distillate including the linear C5 olefins and a bottoms product including cyclic C5 olefins are recovered from the catalytic distillation reactor system. Other aspects of the C5 olefin systems and processes, including catalyst configurations and control schemes, are also described.
