Abstract
Aromatic hydrocarbons are prepared by circulating aromatic hydroxy compounds in the vapour phase with hydrogen under pressure over the customary catalysts, the time of contact being so short that a substantial part, preferably from 10 to 40 per cent, of the hydroxy compound remains unconverted. The hydroxy compound is preferably passed over the catalyst in an amount per hour which, measured as a liquid, is at least equal to but not more than twice the volume of the catalyst. The product is isolated from the reaction gases and the remainder introduced with fresh hydroxy compound into the reaction chamber. As catalyst is preferably employed a metal of group 6 or of the iron group or vanadium or a compound thereof, particularly a sulphide or selenide of molybdenum, tungsten or vanadium. The said sulphides or selenides may be mixed with graphite, kaolin, zinc oxide or sulphide; whilst it is advantageous, in the case of molybdenum and tungsten sulphides to heat them temporarily to a high temperature, e.g. 750-850 DEG C., before use. Pressures of 20-300 atmospheres and temperatures of 350-550 DEG C. may be employed. Aromatic hydroxy compounds mentioned are phenol, cresols, xylenols, ethylphenols, dihydroxy- and trihydroxybenzenes, and naphthols. Examples are given of the conversion into the corresponding aromatic hydrocarbons of (1) phenol over molybdenum sulphide, (2) the crude phenolic oil mixture obtained by dephenolizing brown coal low temperature carbonization water over a pressed mixture of graphite and tungsten sulphide previously heated to 750 DEG C., and (3) crude cresol over vanadium sulphide.ALSO:Catalysts for the reduction of aromatic hydroxy compounds to aromatic hydrocarbons at elevated temperature and pressure preferably comprise a metal of group 6 or of the iron group or vanadium or a compound thereof, particularly sulphide or selenide of molybdenum, tungsten or vanadium. The said sulphides or selenides may be mixed with graphite, kaolin, zinc oxide or sulphide, whilst it is advantageous, in the case of molybdenum and tungsten sulphides, to heat them temporarily to a high temperature, e.g. 750-850 DEG C., before use.
