Abstract
Description
La présente demande de brevet d'addition concerne une amélioration du procédé de la demande de brevet principal1 amélioration qui consiste à recycler une partie au moins de l'éthanol produit dans la zone catalytique de synthèse d'alcools primaires de façon à convertir au moins la majeure partie de l'éthanol en au moins du n-propanol et du n-butanol.The present patent application relates to an improvement of the process of the main patent application1 improvement which consists in recycling at least part of the ethanol produced in the catalytic zone for synthesis of primary alcohols so as to convert at least the most of the ethanol into at least n-propanol and n-butanol.
En outre, conformément a la demande de ce brevet d'addition, une partie au moins ou la totalité des alcools obtenus au cours du procédé peut être mélangée à une essence de type normal ou de type super pour automobile, c'est-à-dire à une essence d'hydrocarbures, pour former un carburant automobile.Furthermore, in accordance with the request of this patent, at least some or all of the alcohols obtained during the process can be mixed with a gasoline of normal type or of super type for automobile, that is to say say to a petroleum hydrocarbon, to form an automotive fuel.
Si de l'éthanol est présent dans le mélange d'alcools fabriqué conformément au procédé de la demande principale cet éthanol ne nuit pas aux qualités de l'essence ou du carburant global obtenu, mais n'apporte aucune amélioration particulière à l'essence ou au carburant global (effet neutre). Le procédé de la présente addition a donc pour hut de transformer l'éthanol contenu dans l'effluent de la première zone de réaction au moins en partie en n-propanol et n-butanol, de préférence en n-butanol, alcool connu comme produit adéquat pour réaliser la solubilisation du méthanol dans une essence ou un carburant et pour augmenter la tolérance à l'eau de mélanges essences d'hydrocarbures et méthanol et éventuellement d'alcools supérieurs.If ethanol is present in the mixture of alcohols produced in accordance with the process of the main application, this ethanol does not harm the qualities of the gasoline or of the overall fuel obtained, but does not bring any particular improvement to the gasoline or to global fuel (neutral effect). The process of the present addition therefore aims to transform the ethanol contained in the effluent of the first reaction zone at least in part into n-propanol and n-butanol, preferably into n-butanol, alcohol known as product suitable for solubilizing methanol in a petrol or a fuel and for increasing the water tolerance of gasoline and methanol mixtures and possibly higher alcohols.
Cette transformation de l'éthanol s'opère par recyclage de cet éthanol dans la zone de réaction et provoque une augmentation appréciable du pourcentage de la fraction des alcools C3-C4. Généralement, il arrive que du méthanol soit également recyclé vers la
zone de réaction, en provenance de cette première zone de réaction.This transformation of ethanol takes place by recycling this ethanol in the reaction zone and causes an appreciable increase in the percentage of the fraction of C3-C4 alcohols. Generally, methanol is also sometimes recycled to the
reaction zone, coming from this first reaction zone.
Pour effectuer le recyclage de l'éthanol, l'on fractionne d'abord une partie au moins de l'effluent de la zone de réaction (après avoir éventuellement d'abord déshydraté ledit effluent, effluent renfermant essentiellement un mélange de méthanol et d'alcools homologues supérieurs).In order to recycle the ethanol, at least part of the effluent from the reaction zone is first fractionated (after having optionally dehydrated said effluent first, effluent containing essentially a mixture of methanol and higher homologous alcohols).
On recueille ainsi séparément une partie au moins de méthanol produit. En raison des points d'ébullition voisins de l'éthanol et de l'isopropanol, l'on recueille généralement un mélange d'éthanol et dtisopropanol (ainsi qu'éventuellement du méthanol).At least part of the methanol produced is thus collected separately. Due to the boiling points close to ethanol and isopropanol, a mixture of ethanol and dtisopropanol (as well as possibly methanol) is generally collected.
Le mélange de méthanol et d'alcools homologues supérieurs (renfermant au moins 2 atomes de carbone par molécule), obtenu conformément au procédé de cette demande de brevet d'addition, c1 est-à-dire après un recyclage d'éthanol, convient alors particulièrement bien pour être ajouté à une essence d'hydrocarbures, c'est-à-dire à une essence automobile de type normal ou de type super de façon à obtenir ainsi un excellent carburant automobile.The mixture of methanol and higher homologous alcohols (containing at least 2 carbon atoms per molecule), obtained in accordance with the process of this patent application, ie after recycling of ethanol, is then suitable particularly good for being added to a petrol of hydrocarbons, that is to say to a petrol of normal type or of super type so as to thus obtain an excellent automotive fuel.
D'une façon générale, le mélange de méthanol et d'alcools homologues supérieurs (renfermant au moins 2 atomes de carbone par molécule) contient en poids 25 à 90 % de méthanol et 75 à 10 % d'alcools homologues supérieurs à 2 ou plus atomes de carbone par molécule. De préférence, le mélange de méthanol et d'alcools homologues supérieurs contient, en poids, 60 à 90 % de méthanol et 40 à 10 % d'alcools hoologues. Plus particulièrement ce mélange contient, en poids, 79 à 87 %, et par exemple environ 85 %, de méthanol et 21 à 13 %, par exemple environ 15 %, d'alcools homologues.Generally, the mixture of methanol and higher homologous alcohols (containing at least 2 carbon atoms per molecule) contains by weight 25 to 90% of methanol and 75 to 10% of homologous alcohols higher than 2 or more carbon atoms per molecule. Preferably, the mixture of methanol and higher homologous alcohols contains, by weight, 60 to 90% of methanol and 40 to 10% of hoologic alcohols. More particularly, this mixture contains, by weight, 79 to 87%, and for example approximately 85%, of methanol and 21 to 13%, for example approximately 15%, of homologous alcohols.
Un bon carburant automobile constitué d'une essence d' hydrocarbures et d'un mélange de méthanol et d'alcools homologues supérieurs (renfermant au moins 2 atomes de carbone par molécule) préparé conformément à la présente demande de brevet d'addition, renferme, en poids, 60 à 97 % de ladite essence d'hydrocarbures et 3 à 40 % dudit mélange. De préférence, un tel carburant automobile peut renfermer 85 à 97 % de ladite essence d'hydrocarbures et 3 à 15 % dudit mélange. A titre de carburant, on peut citer ceux renfermant 85 % d'ne essence automobile (essence super par exemple), et 15 % dudit mélange renfermant lui même, en poids. 80 % de méthanol et 20 % d'alcools homologues (soit 85 % d'essence, 12 % de méthanol et 3 % d'alcools homologues) ou ceux renfermant 90 % d'une essence automobile (essence super par exemple), et 10 % d'un mélange renfermant lui-même, en poids, 75 % de méthanol et 25 % d'alcools homologues (soit 90 % d'essence, 7,5 % de méthanol et 2,5 % d'alcools homologues).A good automotive fuel consisting of a petroleum hydrocarbon and a mixture of methanol and higher homologous alcohols (containing at least 2 carbon atoms per molecule) prepared in accordance with the present patent application, contains, by weight, 60 to 97% of said gasoline of hydrocarbons and 3 to 40% of said mixture. Preferably, such an automotive fuel can contain 85 to 97% of said petroleum hydrocarbon and 3 to 15% of said mixture. As fuel, mention may be made of those containing 85% of automobile gasoline (super petrol for example), and 15% of said mixture containing itself, by weight. 80% methanol and 20% homologous alcohols (i.e. 85% petrol, 12% methanol and 3% homologous alcohols) or those containing 90% automotive petrol (super petrol for example), and 10 % of a mixture itself containing, by weight, 75% methanol and 25% homologous alcohols (i.e. 90% gasoline, 7.5% methanol and 2.5% homologous alcohols).
A titre d'exemple, on peut opérer de façon à ce que, dans la boucle de recyclage, la conversion choisie de l'éthanol soit d'environ 10 % en n-propanol et de 24 % en n-butanol ; pour l'isopropanol, on pourrait retenir une conversion de 20 % en alcools C5-C6,par exemple. For example, one can operate so that, in the recycling loop, the chosen conversion of ethanol is about 10% into n-propanol and 24% into n-butanol; for isopropanol, one could retain a conversion of 20% into C5-C6 alcohols, for example.
