Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the conversion of a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock.
  • the present invention provides a process for the conversion of a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock having an end boiling point of at most 330 °C to obtain a high yield of a predominantly olefinic C2 ⁇ 4 product, which process comprises contacting the feedstock in a reaction zone, with a zeolitic catalyst comprising a zeolite with a pore diameter of 0.3 to 0.7 nm at a temperature above 500 °C during 0.2 to 0.6 seconds, and separation of product without the use of residual oil quench before the separation.
  • a process is disclosed employing a catalyst comprising an X or Y type faujasite or a mordenite cracking component and a lower cracking activity amorphous component or an erionite, offretite or ZSM-5 small pore component for the conversion of a first stage feed comprising a recycle oil product stream of cracking and a second quench stage feed comprising a fresh residual oil whereby the effects of metal components and the coking characteristics of the residual oil feed are suppressed by means of staged injection and temperature control in individual stages.
  • Increase in octane value of residual oil conversion product is disclosed due to combined conversion with the recycle stream.
  • US-A-4,100,2108 describes a process for the preparation of LPG (saturated C3 ⁇ 4-hydrocarbons) and gasoline starting from an olefinic stream, using a catalyst with a pore diameter of less than 0.7 nm. Since it was known that such zeolitic catalysts have activity to catalyze the conversion of olefins to saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons, it is surprising that in the present process olefins are produced and relatively little saturated gaseous hydrocarbon product is formed.
  • the temperature during the reaction is above 500 °C and preferably up to 900 °C.
  • the temperature is preferably from 550 to 800 °C.
  • the zeolitic catalyst comprises one or more zeolites with a pore diameter of from 0.3 to 0.7 nm.
  • the catalyst suitably further comprises a refractory oxide that serves as binder material. Suitable refractory oxides include alumina, silica, silica-alumina, magnesia, titania, zirconia and mixtures thereof. Alumina is especially preferred.
  • the weight ratio of refractory oxide and zeolite suitably ranges from 10:90 to 90:10, preferably from 50:50 to 85:15.
  • the zeolitic catalyst preferably comprises as zeolite substantially only zeolites with a pore diameter of from 0.3 to 0.7 nm. Illustrative of the invention is the use of a zeolitic catalyst comprising a zeolite of pore diameter of 0.5 to 0.7 nm at a temperature above 500 °C and up to 750 °C.
  • zeolite in this specification is not to be regarded to comprise only crystalline aluminium silicates.
  • the term also includes crystalline silica (silicalite), silicoaluminophosphates (SAPO), chromosilicates, gallium silicates, iron silicates, aluminium phosphates (ALPO), titanium aluminosilicates (TASO), boron silicates, titanium aluminophosphates (TAPO) and iron aluminosilicates.
  • Examples of zeolites that may be used in the process of the invention and that have a pore diameter of 0.3 to 0.7 nm include SAPO-4 and SAPO-11, which are described in US-A-4,440,871, ALPO-11, described in US-A-4,310,440, TAPO-11, described in US-A-4,500,651, TASO-45, described in EP-A-229,295, boron silicates, described in e.g. US-A-4,254,297, aluminium silicates like erionite, ferrierite, theta and the ZSM-type zeolites such as ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-12, ZSM-35, ZSM-23, and ZSM-38.
  • SAPO-4 and SAPO-11 which are described in US-A-4,440,871, ALPO-11, described in US-A-4,310,440, TAPO-11, described in US-A-4,500,651, TASO-45, described in EP-A-229,29
  • the zeolite is selected from the group consisting of crystalline metal silicates having a ZSM-5 structure, ferrierite, erionite and mixtures thereof.
  • crystalline metal silicates with ZSM-5 structure are aluminium, gallium, iron, scandium, rhodium and/or chromium silicates as described in e.g. GB-B-2,110,559.
  • an amount of alkali metal oxide is present in the readily prepared zeolite.
  • the amount of alkali metal is removed by methods known in the art, such as ion exchange, optionally followed by calcination, to yield the zeolite in its hydrogen form.
  • the zeolite used in the present process is substantially in its hydrogen form.
  • the pressure in the present process can be varied within wide ranges. It is, however, preferred that the pressure is such that at the prevailing temperature the feedstock is substantially in its gaseous phase or brought thereinto by contact with the catalyst. Then it is easier to achieve the short contact times envisaged. Hence, the pressure is preferably relatively low. This can be advantageous since no expensive compressors and high-pressure vessels and other equipment is necessary. A suitable pressure range is from 1 to 10 bar. Subatmospheric pressures are possible, but not preferred. It can be economically advantageous to operate at atmospheric pressure. Other gaseous materials may be present during the conversion such as steam and/or nitrogen.
  • the present process is preferably carried out in a moving bed.
  • the bed of catalyst may move upwards or downwards. When the bed moves upwards a process somewhat similar to a fluidized catalytic cracking process is obtained.
  • the catalyst is regenerated by subjecting it after having been contacted with the feedstock to a treatment with an oxidizing gas, such as air.
  • an oxidizing gas such as air.
  • a continuous regeneration similar to the regeneration carried out in a fluidized catalytic cracking process, is especially preferred.
  • the residence time of the catalyst particles in a reaction zone is longer than the residence time of the feedstock in the reaction zone.
  • the contact time between feedstock and catalyst should be less than 10 seconds.
  • the contact time generally corresponds with the residence time of the feedstock.
  • the residence time of the catalyst is from 1 to 20 times the residence time of the feedstock.
  • the catalyst/feedstock weight ratio is not critical, it is preferred that the weight ratio varies from 1 to 150 kg or more of catalyst per kg of feedstock. Preferably, the catalyst/feedstock weight ratio is from 20 to 120:1.
  • the feedstock which is to be converted in the present process comprises hydrocarbons which have an end boiling point of at most 330°C.
  • hydrocarbons which have an end boiling point of at most 330°C.
  • relatively light petroleum fractions like naphtha and kerosine, are included.
  • the feedstock has an initial boiling point of -45 °C.
  • Suitable feedstocks include C3 ⁇ 4-hydrocarbons (e.g. LPG), naphtha, gasoline fractions, kerosine fractions and mixtures thereof.
  • a feedstock with a relatively high nitrogen content may be used with substantially no effect on the catalyst activity.
  • Suitable feedstocks may have a nitrogen content of more than 25 ppmw, calculated as nitrogen.
  • the feedstock may even have a nitrogen content of 100 to 1000 ppmw, calculated as nitrogen.
  • the experiments were carried out in a down flow reactor in which co-currently a flow of feedstock and catalyst particles, having an average particle size of 74 micrometers, was passed downwards.
  • the catalyst used comprised ZSM-5 in hydrogen form in an alumina matrix (weight ratio ZSM-5/alumina was 1:3). All experiments were carried out at atmospheric pressure. Further process conditions and the results of the experiments are indicated in Table 1 below.
  • n-paraffins are preferentially cracked and yield gaseous products which comprise a significant amount of olefins, especially at temperatures above 500 °C. Above 500 °C it will be seen that there is a markedly increased C3 and C4 olefin/paraffin ratio and an overall increased conversion to lower olefins.
  • the resulting liquid product has a higher iso/normal-paraffin ratio than the starting mixture, so that, additionally, the octane number and hence the quality of the liquid product as a gasoline has been enhanced.
