Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for the production from natural gas of a novel gasoline additive and to the additive itself.
  • Gasoline is essentially a mixture of hydrocarbons containing usually 4 and more carbon atoms.
  • a gasoline must have a sufficiently high "octane rating".
  • an "anti-knock" compound such as lead tetra-ethyl.
  • anti-pollution legislation in many countries now limits the permissible levels of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons in exhaust gas emissions and has led to the adoption of catalytic converters as a part of motor car exhaust gas systems.
  • Such converters utilise noble metal catalysts whose effectiveness is destroyed by the use of lead-containing gasoline.
  • lead-free gasoline there is for a variety of reasons a move towards the use of lead-free gasoline.
  • aromatic compounds can be added to the gasoline in order to improve its octane rating.
  • Benzene is, however, a known carcinogen and if too much aromatic material is added the hydrocarbon emission in the exhaust gas tends to increase.
  • available quantities of aromatic compounds are limited by the nature of the crude oil used as gasoline feedstock.
  • it is expensive to cyclise and dehydrogenate linear aliphatic hydrocarbons in order to produce aromatic compounds for use as gasoline additives and production of aromatic compounds in this way represents a loss of aliphatic hydrocarbons which could otherwise be used as such in gasoline.
  • German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2626883 proposes a motor fuel consisting of a mixture of petrol and methanol, with additions of iso-propanol and motor oil.
  • oxygenated compounds that have been proposed as gasoline additives there can be mentioned acetals, and mixtures thereof with alcohols, (see United States Patent Specification No. 3869262) and a mixture of a methyl-substituted phenol, e.g. p-cresol, and an ether, e.g. methyl methoxymethyl propane, optionally together with a C, to C 4 acyclic alcohol (see United States Patent Specification No. 3976437).
  • methyl t-butyl ether is made by etherification of methanol by reaction with iso- butene, which is usually a product of oil refinery operations, e.g. in the by-product stream from steam crackers, and fluidised bed crackers (see, for example British Patent Specification No. 2049693A and French Patent Specification Nos. 2371408 and 2283116).
  • iso-butene is also required for production of alkylate petroleum and chemical products.
  • the supply of iso-butene from conventional oil refinery sources is limited and is inadequate to satisfy the potential market for methyl t-butyl ether as well as to meet the demands for its use in alkylate petroleum production.
  • British Patent Specification No. 1493754 and German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2620011 describe a process for producing methyl t-butyl ether for use as a gasoline additive by processing a stream of n-butane, the n-butane first being partially isomerised to iso-butene, and the resulting n-butane/iso-butane mixture being dehydrogenated to form a mixture of n-butenes and iso-butene. This dehydrogenated mixture is then etherified with excess methanol so as to convert iso-butene to methyl t-butyl ether.
  • Unreacted methanol is extracted with water from the reaction mixture, whilst the remaining C 4 hydrocarbons are separated by distillation from the ether and returned to the dehydrogenation stage. Because of the necessary presence of n-butane which is a feature of this process it is necessary to increase the size of the plant for a given throughput in order to allow the n-butane to be circulated through the plant. Moreover, since n-butenes- are recycled to the dehydrogenation stage, it is possible for butadiene to be formed as by-product which can lead to disruption in operation of the plant and which would have to be prevented from appearing in the methyl t-butyl ether product so as to obviate the risk of gum formation in the final gasoline composition. In addition the use of water extraction to separate the product ether from unreacted methanol is disadvantageous since methanol has to be recovered from the aqueous phase and the ether has to be dried.
  • British Patent Specification No. 1443745 and German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2248841 propose the production of a water-free mixture of iso-propanol, di-iso-propyl ether and by-products, suitable for use as a gasoline additive, by catalytic hydration of propylene in the gas phase.
  • Propylene is usually available as a by-product of catalytic cracking or similar oil refinery operations.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a novel improved methanol-containing gasoline additive and also to provide a process for the production of such an additive from natural gas which utilises the components of natural gas to optimum advantage.
  • a novel gasoline additive comprising in admixture methanol, methyl t-butyl ether and another alcohol, characterised in that the additive contains, in addition to methanol and methyl t-butyl ether, iso-propanol and, optionally, a Cg+ isomerate obtained by isomerisation of C 5 and C 6 hydrocarbon components of natural gas.
  • a preferred additive comprises, per 100 parts by weight of additive, from 5 to 90 parts by weight methanol, from 3 to 35 parts by weight of iso-propanol, from 3 to 35 parts by weight of methyl t-butyl ether, and from 0 to 35 parts by weight of a C s + isomerate obtained by isomerisation of C s and C 6 hydrocarbon components of natural gas.
  • Such an additive can be admixed with a gasoline precursor in amounts of, for example, from 1 to 10 parts by weight or more of additive, e.g. up to 50 parts by weight of additive, per 100 parts by weight of gasoline precursor to form a gasoline composition.
  • Suitable gasoline precursors include gasoline itself or a component which is substantially miscible with the additive mixture and with gasoline, is substantially immiscible with water, and does no thave a deleterious effect on a gasoline.
  • the gasoline precursor may include a proportion of aromatic compounds e.g. up to about 30% by weight of benzene, toluene, xylene(s), ethyl benzene, or a mixture of two or more thereof.
  • the use as gasoline precursor of alkylates, of natural gas condensates, and of naphtha is also contemplated in the preparation of the gasoline compositions of the invention.
  • a process for the production of a gasoline additive comprising a mixture of methanol, methyl t-butyl ether and iso-propanol which comprises isomerising n-butane component of a natural gas stream to iso-butane, dehydrogenating propane component of the natural gas stream to propylene and iso-butane formed by isomerisation of n-butane to iso-butene respectively, converting resulting propylene to iso-propanol, etherifying resulting iso-butene with methanol to form methyl t-butyl ether, and blending resulting iso-propanol and methyl t-butyl ether with methanol to form the gasoline additive.
  • a particularly preferred process in accordance with the invention comprises splitting a natural gas stream containing C 1 to C 4 hydrocarbons to provide a C 1-2 hydrocarbon-containing stream, a C 3 hydrocarbon-containing stream and a C 4 hydrocarbon-containing stream, catalytically dehydrogenating propane in the C 3 hydrocarbon-containing stream to propylene, converting resulting propylene to iso- propanol, isomerising n-butane in the C 4 hydrocarbon-containing stream to form iso-butane, catalytically dehydrogenating resulting iso-butane to form an iso-butane/iso-butene mixture, converting natural gas hydrocarbons to methanol, etherifying a portion of the resulting methanol with iso-butene in the iso-butene/iso-butane mixture to form methyl t-butyl ether, separating iso-butane from the etherification mixture, recycling separated iso-butane to the iso-butane de
  • the C l-2 hydrocarbon-containing stream is steam reformed to form a synthesis gas and resulting synthesis gas is catalytically converted to methanol.
  • methanol can be used without extensive purification, the sole purification step necessary being separation from any excessive amount of water in order to avoid miscibility problems.
  • the C 3 and C 4 hydrocarbons need not be separated prior to the' isomerisation step, in which n-butane is isomerised to iso-butane, so that dehydrogenation of propane and of iso-butane to propylene and to iso-butene respectively can be carried out simultaneously in the same reactor or reactors.
  • separation of the C 3 and C 4 hydrocarbons is effected prior to the n-butane isomerisation step and iso-butane and n-butane are separated prior to the iso- butane dehydrogenation step.
  • Natural gas usually contains varying amounts of C 5 and heavier hydrocarbons. If the natural gas contains little or no C 7+ hydrocarbons any C 5 and C 6 hydrocarbons are preferably separated from the C 4 hydrocarbons of a C Q + hydrocarbon-containing stream, which is formed as bottom product during separation of the C 3 hydrocarbon-containing stream, and the resulting C 5 and C 6 hydrocarbons are then subjected to isomerisation, using a conventional catalyst such as platinum. Alternatively the C 4 and C s + hydrocarbons separated from the natural gas can be passed together through the same isomerisation reactor or reactors and then separated into C 4 and C s + hydrocarbon streams, the latter of which is then subjected to isomerisation.
  • the natural gas contains significant quantities of C 7 + hydrocarbons
  • the resulting C s + isomerate produced by isomerisation of the C 5 and C e hydrocarbon components of the natural gas can then be blended in any order with the other essential components of the gasoline additive, i.e. methanol, iso-propanol and methyl t-butyl ether, and also, if desired, with the gasoline precursor.
  • Any C 7 + hydrocarbons from the natural gas can also be blended at this stage into the gasoline additive or into the gasoline composition as part of the gasoline precursor.
  • the olefins propylene and iso-butene are produced by dehydrogenation of propane and iso-butane respectively.
  • C 4 olefins can be produced by dehydrogenating n-butane.
  • Such C 3 and/or C 4 olefins can be alkylated by reaction with iso-butane to form C 7 + hydrocarbon alkylates in the presence of a conventional catalyst, such as hydrofluoric acid or sulphuric acid.
  • the resulting alkylate can be used as, or as part of, the gasoline precursor.
  • a mixed gaseous hydrocarbon feedstock for example a natural gas which has been pretreated for removal of H 2 0, H z S and CO 2 therefrom, is supplied by way of line 1 to a rectifier or stripping column 2 in which the mixture is separated by distillation into a C 1-2 stream and a C 3 + stream.
  • the C 1-2 stream passes overhead and is supplied by way of line 3 to the reformer tubes of a reformer furnace 4.
  • Steam is also supplied to the reformer tubes by way of line 5 so as to provide a predetermined steam:carbon ratio in the hydrocarbon/steam mixture supplied to the reformer tubes.
  • the reformer tubes which may be made for example of an alloy steel, are packed with a suitable catalyst, e.g.
  • a supported nickel oxide catalyst e.g. a supported nickel oxide catalyst.
  • Suitable preheaters (not shown) are provided to raise the C 1-2 stream to a suitable inlet temperature, e.g. about 350°C prior to entry to the reformer tubes.
  • the C 4 fraction which consists mainly of n-butane, passes through line 11 to a de-iso-butanisation column 12 in which the C 4 hydrocarbons are split into an iso- butane fraction and an n-butane fraction.
  • the n-butane is drawn off as bottom product through line 13 and is supplied to a catalytic isomerisation reactor 14, in which n-butane is partially isomerised to iso- butane by passage, for example, over a platinum-containing catalyst at 150 to 200°C.

  • the bottom product of the column 16 consists essentially of a mixture of n-butane and iso-butane and is returned to the de-iso-butanisation column 12 through line 18.
  • reactors 22a and 22b are supplied in turn with the iso-butane stream and the other reactors that are switched off at any time are simultaneously regenerated with hot air which burns off coke deposited on the catalyst.
  • Dehydrogenation may be effected, for example, by passage of the iso-butane stream over a chromium oxide/aluminium oxide catalyst at a temperature in the range of from about 540°C to about 640°C.
