Definitions

  • This invention relates to hydrocarbon conversion in a refinery. More specifically it relates to the production of iso-olefins from higher olefins contained in a refinery naptha.
  • iso-butylene may be reacted with methanol over an acidic catalyst to provide methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) and iso-amylenes may be reacted with methanol over an acidic catalyst to produce tertiary-amyl methyl ether (TAME).
  • MTBE methyl tertiary butyl ether
  • TAME tertiary-amyl methyl ether
  • iso-olefins often do not exist in refinery streams in the quantities required for desired MTBE and TAME production levels.
  • olefin content of motor gasoline is limited using an analytical indicator such as Bromine Number. Due to the relatively high olefin content of some refinery streams, such as FCC gasoline, their use as blending stock for motor gasoline is constrained. FCC octane improvement often is achieved or accompanied by increased production of olefins, particularly olefins in the C5 - C9 range. The refiner is therefore limited in FCC performance by the mandated olefin limitation.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,004,852 issued April 2, 1991 to Harandi, describes a catalytic technique for upgrading olefin streams to gasoline streams rich in aromatics.
  • it provides a continuous process for oligomerizing and aromatizing a feedstock containing light C4-olefins to produce C5+ hydrocarbons rich in C6-C10 aromatics, such as benzene, toluene, xylenes, tri-methylbenzenes and tetramethylbenzenes together with hydrogen and fuel gas.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,026,936 issued June 25, 1991 to Leyshon, et al., teaches fluidized bed cracking and metathesis of butenes or higher olefins and/or paraffins for the production of ethylene and propylene with acidic ZSM-5 at: high space rate, between 5 to 2000, moderate pressures, -5 to 30 psig, and temperatures between 750 to 1472°F.
  • the production of iso-butylene by the iso-olefin production process described in this invention is accomplished with just trace, if any, production of butadiene along with the transformation of pentadienes such that the cracked olefinic gasoline contains substantially less pentadienes and little if any butadienes, relative to the olefinic feed naptha.
  • the production of essentially butadiene-free iso-butylene and essentially pentadiene-free iso-pentenes obviate the need for diolefin clean-up steps normally required before either MTBE and/or TAME production units.
  • the present invention is a process which combines the use of a particular feedstream, in a reaction in the presence of a particular catalyst, to yield the advantageous result of increasing the production of particular components in a product stream.
  • the product stream, then having more desirable levels of particular components, may then be further processed.
  • the olefinic feed to our process is FCC gasoline from an FCC unit.
  • FCC gasolines comprising olefins in the range of C5 to C9, are effectively processed by the present process, but our best iso-butene and iso-pentene production results were accomplished when the FCC gasoline had a boiling range of between about 65°F to about 340°F.
  • Other olefinic naphthas like pyrolysis naphthas, naphthas from the production of ethylene and propylene, coker naphthas or naphthas from propylene oligomerization can be used.
  • the stream comprising normal and iso-butylenes are fed to a MTBE unit.
  • the stream comprising iso-pentenes are feed to a TAME unit.
  • propylene from the reaction of the naptha olefins is recycled back to be blended with incoming olefinic naptha feed to the crystalline silicate-containing reactor.
  • Propylene recycle ratios relative to total feed to the crystalline silicate-containing reactor in the range of about 2% to about 20% are preferred.
  • unreacted butenes comprised chiefly of n-butylene, from the MTBE unit are returned to the crystalline silicate-containing reactor where at least a portion of the n-butylene is converted to iso-butylene.
  • fractionating a C5 to c7 cut from the iso olefin enriched product stream exiting the crystalline silicate-containing reactor yields an iso-olefin rich stream which can be disproportionated with ethylene and/or propylene, which may be from any source including FCC produced ethylene and/or propylene, to yield additional iso-butylene and iso-pentene.
  • the resulting normal butylene from the disproportionation unit can be either recycled or alkylated while iso-butylene can be used for MTBE production and iso-pentene for TAME.
  • a process is carried out for increasing iso-butylene and enhanced iso-pentene to total pentene ratio from a refinery naphtha.
  • the process comprises the steps of contacting a olefinic naptha stream comprising C5-C9 olefins with a crystalline silicate catalyst at a temperature of between about 500°F to about 900°F to produce an iso-butylene and iso-pentene rich product stream comprising iso-butylene and iso-pentene, saturated butanes and propylene.
  • iso-butylene rich and iso-pentene rich we mean the total amount of iso-butylene in the product stream relative to the total amount of iso-butylene in the naphtha and iso-pentene/total pentene ratio in the product stream relative to iso-pentene/total pentene ratio in the naptha is increased.

  • Silicalite adsorbs neopentane (6.2 ⁇ kinetic diameter) slowly at ambient room temperature.

  • the precursor crystals formed are ovate in shape, approximately 2-3 microns long and 1-1.5 microns in diameter.
  • silicalite-2 precursor will not form if Li, Na, K, Rb or Cs ions are present, in which case the precursor of the U.S. Patent No. 4,061,724 silicalite is formed. It is also reported that the size of the tetraalkylammonium ion is critical because replacement of the tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide by other quaternary ammonium hydroxides (such as tetraethyl, tetrapropyl, triethylpropyl, and triethylbutyl hydroxides) results in amorphous products.

Thermal analysis and mass spectrometry show that the tetraalkylammonium ion decomposes at approximately 572°F and is lost as the tertiary amine, alkene and water. This is in contrast to the normal thermal decomposition at 392°F of the same tetraalkylammonium salt in air.

  • Aluminum in the crystalline silicate contributes acidity to the catalyst, which is undesirable.
  • Commercially available silica sols can typically contain between 500 and 700 ppm alumina, whereas fumed silicas can contain between 80 and 2000 ppm of alumina impurity.
  • the silica to alumina molar ratio in the crystalline silicate of the catalyst used in the present invention is preferably greater than 200:1.

  • the crystalline silicate component of the catalyst of the present invention has an intermediate pore size.
  • intermediate pore size as used herein is meant an effective pore aperture in the range of about 5 to 6.5 ⁇ when the silicate is in the H-form. Crystalline silicates having pore apertures in this range tend to have unique molecular sieving characteristics. Unlike small pore crystalline silicates or zeolites such as erionite, they will allow hydrocarbons having some branching into the zeolitic void spaces.
  • n-alkanes can differentiate between n-alkanes and slightly branched alkanes on the one hand and larger branched alkanes having, for example, quarternary carbon atoms.
  • the effective pore size of the crystalline silicates or zeolites can be measured using standard adsorption techniques and hydrocarbonaceous compounds of known minimum kinetic diameters.

  • Intermediate pore size crystalline silicates or zeolites in the H-form will typically admit molecules having kinetic diameters of 5 to 6 ⁇ with little hindrance.
  • Examples of such compounds are: n-hexane (4.3), 3-methylpentane (5.5), benzene (5.85), and toluene (5.8).
  • Compounds having kinetic diameters of about 6 to 6.5 ⁇ can be admitted into the pores, depending on the particular zeolite, but do not penetrate as quickly and in some cases, are effectively excluded (for example, 2,2-dimethylbutane is excluded from H-ZSM-5).
  • Compounds having kinetic diameters in the range of 6 to 6.5 ⁇ include: cyclohexane (6.0), m-xylene (6.1) and 1,2,3,4-tetramethylbenzene (6.4). Generally, compounds having kinetic diameters of greater than about 6.5 ⁇ cannot penetrate the pore apertures and thus cannot be adsorbed in the interior of the zeolite. Examples of such larger compounds include: o-xylene (6.8), hexamethylbenzene (7.1), 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (7.5), and tributylamine (8.1).
  • the preferred effective pore size range is from about 5.3 to about 6.2 ⁇ .
