C10G 5100

US Classification:

585418

Abstract:

A fluid catalytically cracked heavy naphtha containing a substantial proportion of preferably more than 90% C. sub. 9 + hydrocarbons is contacted with a reformate heavy naphtha containing a substantial proportion of C. sub. 9 + hydrocarbons and, optionally, a benzene-rich stream, over a catalyst of acidic functionality, preferably unsteamed ZSM-5, under transalkylation reaction conditions of temperature and pressure to produce a gasoline boiling range product, boiling below 300. degree. F. , having a reduced sulfur content and an increased octane number. In one mode of operation the reformate is cascaded from the reformer as the conditions of reaction are compatible with the conditions established in the reformer.

C07C 124
C07C 1104
C07C 4304
B01J 2928

US Classification:

260682

Abstract:

Ethylene is produced by catalytic conversion of a methanol feed in the presence of steam or water diluent. The catalyst employed is exemplified by HZSM-5, a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite, and the conversion is conducted at relatively low temperature, i. e. from about 600. degree. F to about 750. degree. F. The hydrocarbon conversion product contains at least 18 wt. % ethylene.

Abstract:

Ethylene is produced by catalytic conversion of a methanol feed in the presence of substantially anhydrous diluent. The catalyst employed is exemplied by HZSM-5, a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite, and the conversion is conducted at relatively low temperature, e. g. less than about 650. degree. F. The hydrocarbon conversion product contains at least 18 wt. % ethylene.

International Classification:

C10G 3506
C07C 418

US Classification:

208 65

Abstract:

This is a process for upgrading a petroleum naphtha fraction. The naphtha is subjected to reforming and the reformate is cascaded to a benzene and toluene synthesis zone over a benzene and toluene synthesis catalyst comprising a molecular sieve of low acid activity. The preferred molecular sieve is steamed ZSM-5. The benzene and toluene synthesis zone is operated under conditions compatible with the conditions of the reformer such as pressures of above about 50 psig (446 kPa) and temperatures above about 800. degree. F. (427. degree. C). In one aspect of the invention, the benzene and toluene synthesis catalyst includes a metal hydrogenation component such as cobalt, nickel, platinum or palladium. In one mode of operation, the benzene and toluene synthesis catalyst replaces at least a portion of the catalyst of the reformer. The process produces a product containing an increased proportion of benzene and toluene, and a reduced proportion of C8 aromatics, particularly ethylbenzenes, as compared to the reformate.

US Classification:

208 59

Abstract:

There is provided a hydrocracking process using a catalyst comprising a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component, such as a noble metal, and an acidic solid component comprising a Group IVB metal oxide modified with an oxyanion of a Group VIB metal. An example of this catalyst is zirconia, modified with tungstate and platinum. This catalyst is used to selectively hydrocrack naphtha range hydrocarbons to reduce the endpoint of reformulated gasolines.

Assignee:

International Classification:

C10G 6910
C10G 3506
C07C 532

US Classification:

208 60

Abstract:

Catalytically cracked naphthas containing C. sub. 9 + hydrocarbons are hydrocracked over a crystalline zeolite, typically, mildly steamed zeolite beta then subjected to reforming to achieve a gasoline product of reduced end boiling range and higher octane than the feed. A hydrogen stream from the reformer which contains a catalytic promoter, such as chlorine, is separated into a first stream and a second stream. The first stream is treated over a solid sorbent to remove the promoter and recycled promoter to the hydrocracking step while the untreated second hydrogen stream which contains promoter is recycled to the reformer.
