Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of an olefins-containing mixture of hydrocarbons.
- Ethylene and propylene are valuable starting materials for chemical processes, while C4 olefins can find use as a starting material for alkylation and/or oligomerization procedures in order to produce high octane gasoline and/or middle distillates.
- Isobutene can be usefully converted to methyl t-butyl ether.
- the present invention relates to process for the preparation of an olefins-containing mixture of hydrocarbons, which process comprises contacting a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock with a zeolitic catalyst at a temperature above 480 °C during less than 10 seconds, whereby the catalyst/feedstock weight ratio is in the range from 5 to 150 and the zeolitic catalyst comprises a zeolite with a pore diameter of 0.3 to 0.7 nm and an average crystallite size of less than 2 micrometer.
- the zeolitic catalyst to be applied in the process according to the present invention comprises a zeolite having an average crystallite size of less than 1 micrometer. More preferably, the zeolite has an average crystallite size in the range of 0.01 to 0.5 micrometer.
- crystallite size in this specification is to be regarded as the size of the individual zeolite crystals. These individual crystals may agglomerate into clusters which each may comprise 3 to 10 or more individual crystals. Preferably the zeolite comprises separate individual crystals.
- the zeolitic catalyst to be used may comprise one or more zeolites with a pore diameter of from 0.3 to 0.7 nm, preferably from 0.5 to 0.7 nm.
- zeolite in this specification is not to be regarded as comprising only crystalline aluminosilicates.
- 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.
- Suitable examples include crystalline silica (silicalite), silicoaluminophosphates (SAPO), chromosilicates, gallium silicates, iron silicates, aluminium phosphates (ALPO), titanium aluminosilicates (TASO), boron silicates, titanium aluminophosphates (TAPO) and iron aluminosilicates.
- zeolite examples 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, desribed in US-A-4,500,651, TASO-45 described in 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.
- the zeolite with a pore diameter of from 0.3 to 0.7 nm is selected from the group consisting of crystalline (metallo)silicates having a ZSM-5 structure, ferrierite, erionite and mixtures thereof.
- the zeolite with a pore diameter of from 0.3 to 0.7 nm comprises a crystalline (metallo)silicate having a ZSM-5 structure.
- Suitable examples of crystalline (metallo)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.n
- the amount of alkali metal oxide is present in the readily prepared zeolites.
- 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 process according to the present invention is substantially in its hydrogen form.
- the catalyst suitably further comprises a matrix comprising a refractory oxide that serves as binder material.
- Suitable refractory oxides include alumina, silica, silica-alumina, magnesia, titania, zirconia and mixtures thereof.
- the matrix may further comprise natural or synthetic clays.
- the weight ratio of refractory oxide and zeolite suitably ranges from 10:90 to 99:1, preferably from 50:50 to 90:10.
- the zeolitic catalyst may comprise up to about 40% by weight of further zeolites with a pore diameter above 0.7 nm.
- zeolites include the faujasite-type zeolites, zeolite beta, zeolite omega and in particular zeolite X and Y.
- the zeolitic catalyst comprises a zeolite with a pore diameter of from 0.3 to 0.7 nm.
- the zeolitic catalyst comprises ZSM-5 and zeolite Y.
- the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock is contacted with the zeolitic catalyst for less than 10 seconds.
- the minimum contact time is 0.1 second. Very good results are obtained when the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock is contacted with the zeolitic catalyst during 0.2 to 6 seconds.
- a preferred temparature range is 480 to 900 °C, more preferably 500 to 750 °C.
- the pressure to be used in the process according to the present invention can be varied within wide ranges. It is, however, preferred that the pressure is such that at prevailing temperature the mixture of hydrocarbons obtained is substantially in its gaseous phase or brought thereto by contact with the catalyst. This can be advantageous since no expensive compressors and high-pressure vessels and other equipment are 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 of the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock such as steam and/or nitrogen.
- Olefin production is facilitated by the absence of hydrogen or a hydrogen donor.
- the present invention is advantageously carried out in the absence of added hydrogen. It is, of course, possible that during the reaction some small molecules, such as hydrogen molecules are formed. However, this amount is usually negligible and will be less than than 0.5 %wt of the product.
- the process according to the present invention may be carried out in a fixed bed. However, this would imply that extremely high space velocities be required to attain the short contact times envisaged. Therefore, the present invention 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 to a treatment with an oxidizing gas, such as air.
- an oxidizing gas such as air.
- the coke formation does not occur at a very high rate.
- 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 weight ratio of the catalyst used relative to the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock to be converted may vary widely,viz. from 5 up to 150 kg catalyst per kg of the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock.
- the weight ratio of catalyst relative to the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock is from 10 to 100, more preferably from 20 to 100.
- the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock which is to be contacted with the zeolitic catalyst in the process of the present invention can vary within a wide boiling range.
- suitable feedstocks are relatively light petroleum fractions such as feedstocks comprising C3 ⁇ 4 hydrocarbons (e.g. LPG), naphtha, gasoline fractions and kerosine fractions.
- Heavier feedstocks may comprise, for example, vacuum distillates, long residues, deasphalted residual oils and atmospheric distillates, for example gas oils and vacuum gas oils.
- Another attractive feedstock comprises a mixture of hydrocarbons obtained in a Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis process.
- the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock in this experiment was a hydrowax having the following properties: IBP, °C 298 20 %wt 388 50 %wt 433 90 %wt 495 FBP 552 density 70/4 0.8057 kg/l nitrogen 1.0 ppmw
- the feedstock was contacted in a downflow reactor by passing it downwards co-currently with a flow of catalyst particles.
- the catalyst comprised ZSM-5 in a silica-alumina matrix (weight ratio ZSM-5/silica-alumina 25:75).
- the ZSM-5 had an average crystallite size of 0.1 micrometer.
- the experiment was carried out at a pressure of 2 bar. Further process conditions and the results obtained are given in Table 1 as shown hereinbelow.
