Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the conversion of hydrocarbons.
  • the process according to the invention associates a distillation zone with a conversion reaction zone hydrocarbon at least partly external to the distillation zone. So this process enables the selective conversion of hydrocarbons separated from hydrocarbon feed through the distillation zone.

  • Benzene has carcinogenic properties and it is therefore necessary to limit at most any possibility of polluting the ambient air, in particular by excluding it virtually automotive fuels. In the United States the fuels reformulated must not contain more than 1% by volume of benzene; in Europe, it is recommended to gradually move towards this value.
  • Olefins have been recognized as being among the most reactants in the cycle of photochemical reactions with the oxides of nitrogen, which produced in the atmosphere and which leads to the formation of ozone.
  • An elevation of the concentration of ozone in the air can be a source of respiratory problems.
  • the decrease in the olefin content of the species, and more particularly the the lightest olefins that are most likely to volatilize fuel handling is therefore desirable.
  • the benzene content of a gasoline is very largely dependent on that of the Reform component of this essence.
  • the reformate results from a treatment catalytic naphtha for producing aromatic hydrocarbons, consisting mainly of 6 to 9 carbon atoms in their molecule and whose very high octane number gives gasoline its anti-knock properties.
  • the benzene of a reformate can be hydrogenated to cyclohexane. As he is it is impossible to selectively hydrogenate benzene from a hydrocarbon mixture also containing toluene and xylenes, it is therefore necessary to fractionate this mixture beforehand so as to isolate a cup containing no than benzene, which can then be hydrogenated.
  • Patent application WO 95/15934 describes a reactive distillation which is intended to selectively hydrogenate diolefins and C2-C5 acetylenic compounds.
  • the distillate can be recovered separately from light ones.
  • the catalytic zone hydrogenation is completely internal to the distillation column, which is not not allow a good dissolution of the hydrogen in the charge nor of power increase the pressure.
  • the gaseous fraction containing the vaporized charge fraction and the gaseous stream containing hydrogen rises to through said catalyst bed in gas columns.
  • the entropy of the system is strong and the pressure drop across the bed (s) cataiytic (s) is weak.

  • the method according to the invention is characterized by the dissociation of the level of sampling of the liquid distillate from the sampling level of the gaseous distillate, the liquid distillate being taken at a level of recovery below the level recovery of the steam distillate. So the desired product is recovered as stabilized liquid distillate, that is to say rid of most of excess hydrogen and possibly light gases.
