Abstract
A process for the desulfurization of hydrocarbonaceous oil wherein the hydrocarbonaceous oil is contacted with a hydrodesulfurization catalyst in a hydrodesulfurization reaction zone to reduce the sulfur level to a relatively low level then contacting the resulting hydrocarbonaceous stream from the hydrodesulfurization zone with an oxidizing agent to convert the residual, low level of sulfur compounds into sulfur-oxidated compounds. The resulting hydrocarbonaceous oil stream containing the sulfur-oxidated compounds is separated after decomposing any residual oxidizing agent by contacting the stream with an adsorbent material to adsorb the sulfur-oxidated compounds to produce a hydrocarbonaceous oil stream having a reduced concentration of sulfur-oxidated compounds. The spent adsorbent is regenerated and subsequently returned to adsorbent service.
Description
- The field of art to which this invention pertains is the desulfurization of hydrocarbonaceous oils to produce low concentrations of residual sulfur.
- There is an increasing demand to reduce the sulfur content of hydrocarbonaceous oil to produce products which have very low concentrations of sulfur and are thereby marketable in the ever more demanding marketplace. With the increased environmental emphasis on the requirement for more environmentally friendly transportation fuels, those skilled in the art have sought to find feasible and economical techniques to reduce the sulfur content of hydrocarbonaceous oil to low concentrations.
- Traditionally, hydrocarbons containing sulfur have been subjected to a catalytic hydrogenation zone to remove sulfur and produce hydrocarbons having lower concentrations of sulfur. Hydrogenation to remove sulfur is very successful for the removal of the sulfur from hydrocarbons that have sulfur components that are easily accessible to contact with the hydrogenation catalyst. However, the removal of sulfur components that are sterically hindered becomes exceedingly difficult and therefore the removal of sulfur components to a sulfur level below about 100 ppm is very costly by known current hydrotreating techniques. It is also known that a hydrocarbonaceous oil containing sulfur may be subjected to oxygenation to convert the hydrocarbonaceous sulfur compounds to compounds containing sulfur and oxygen, such as sulfoxide or sulfone for example, which have different chemical and physical characteristics which make it possible to isolate or separate the sulfur bearing compounds from the balance of the original hydrocarbonaceous oil. For example, see a paper presented at the 207th American Chemical Society Meeting in San Diego, Calif., on Mar. 13-17, 1994, entitled “Oxidative Desulfurization of Liquid Fuels” by Tetsuo Aida et al. The disadvantage to this approach is that the isolated sulfur bearing hydrocarbon compounds are still not useful as a sulfur-free material and therefore the yield of a sulfur-free material from the original hydrocarbonaceous oil is less than desirable and therefore uneconomic.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,769,760 (Annable et al) discloses a hydrodesulfurization process which reduces the organic sulfur concentration in a hydrocarbon feedstock. The resulting hydrocarbon product from the first stage hydrodesulfurization zone contains sulfur and is subsequently introduced into a second stage partial desulfurization and/or chemical reaction wherein the second stage treatment is conducted at a temperature of approximately 232° C. (450° F.) and at atmospheric pressure in the absence of hydrogen. The contact material for the reaction in the second stage is of the same type as used for the hydrodesulfurization reaction. Preferred contact materials contain cobalt and molybdenum. The main thrust of the '760 patent is for the production of sweet naphthas. The exemplification of the invention in the '760 patent utilizes a hydrocarbon feedstock having an end boiling point of 218° C. (425° F.).
- Published European Patent Application No. 565324 discloses a method of recovering an organic sulfur compound from a liquid oil wherein the method comprises treating the liquid oil containing an organic sulfur compound with an oxygen agent and separating the oxidized organic sulfur compound by separation means such as distillation, solvent extraction and/or adsorption means. A principal objective of the invention of the '324 reference is to recover organic sulfur compounds which are industrially useful in the fields of production of medicines, agricultural chemicals, and heat-resistant resins, for example. This objective contemplates the use of the organic sulfur compounds as produced. The '324 reference teaches that hydrogenation with hydrogen at high temperature and pressure cannot be employed when it is intended to isolate the organic sulfur compound from the mineral oil in such a state that the original chemical structure is maintained as much as possible to thereby utilize the organic sulfur compounds. The '324 reference teaches the undesirability of the use of hydrodesulfurization.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,551,328 (Cole et al) discloses a process for reducing the sulfur content of heavy hydrocarbon petroleum fractions by oxidizing the sulfur compounds present in such heavy hydrocarbon fractions and contacting the heavy hydrocarbon fractions containing such oxidized sulfur compounds with a lower paraffinic hydrocarbon solvent in a concentration sufficient to separate the oxidized sulfur compounds from the heavy hydrocarbon fractions and recovering a heavy hydrocarbon fraction of reduced sulfur content. The '328 patent teaches that it is particularly well adaptable to the treating of crude oils and topped or reduced crude oils containing large quantities of asphaltenic material and it is especially advantageous when applied to the treating of atmospheric or vacuum tower bottoms. The patent also teaches that such feedstocks that are contaminated by the presence of excessive concentrations of various non-metallic and metallic impurities detrimentally affect various catalytic systems employed for the conversion of such heavy hydrocarbon fractions.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,277,271 B1 discloses a process for the desulfurization of hydrocarbonaceous oil wherein the hydrocarbonaceous oil and a recycle stream containing sulfur-oxidated compounds is contacted with a hydrodesulfurization catalyst in a hydrodesulfurization reaction zone to reduce the sulfur level to a relatively low level and then contacting the resulting hydrocarbonaceous stream from the hydrodesulfurization zone with an oxidizing agent to convert the residual, low level of sulfur compounds into sulfur-oxidated compounds. The residual oxidizing agent is decomposed and the resulting hydrocarbonaceous oil stream containing the sulfur-oxidated compounds is separated to produce a stream containing the sulfur-oxidated compounds and a hydrocarbonaceous oil stream having a reduced concentration of sulfur-oxidated compounds. At least a portion of the sulfur-oxidated compounds is recycled to the hydrodesulfurization reaction zone. The '271 patent teaches that after the effluent from the oxidation reaction zone is counter-currently extracted, the raffinate is distilled and the resulting desulfurized gas oil is passed over an alumina adsorbent to produce a finished hydrocarbonaceous oil product.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,171,478 B1 discloses a process for the desulfurization of hydrocarbonaceous oil wherein the hydrocarbonaceous oil is contacted with a hydrodesulfurization catalyst in a hydrodesulfurization reaction zone to reduce the sulfur level to a relatively low level and then contacting the resulting hydrocarbonaceous stream from the hydrodesulfurization zone with an oxidizing agent to convert the residual, low level of sulfur compounds into sulfur-oxidated compounds. The resulting hydrocarbonaceous oil stream containing the sulfur-oxidated compounds is separated by solvent extraction after decomposing any residual oxidizing agent to produce a stream containing the sulfur-oxidated compounds and a hydrocarbonaceous oil stream having a reduced concentration of sulfur-oxidated compounds.
- The present invention provides a process for the desulfurization of hydrocarbonaceous oil wherein the hydrocarbonaceous oil is contacted with a hydrodesulfurization catalyst in a hydrodesulfurization reaction zone to reduce the sulfur level to a relatively low level and then contacting the resulting hydrocarbonaceous stream from the hydrodesulfurization zone with an oxidizing agent to convert the residual, low level of sulfur compounds into sulfur-oxidated compounds. The residual oxidizing agent is decomposed and the resulting hydrocarbonaceous oil stream containing the sulfur-oxidated compounds is separated to produce a stream comprising the sulfur-oxidated compounds and a hydrocarbonaceous oil stream having a reduced concentration of sulfur-oxidated compounds.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hydrocarbonaceous effluent stream from the hydrodesulfurization zone is contacted with an aqueous oxidizing solution to convert the residual, low level of sulfur compounds into sulfur-oxidated compounds. The resulting hydrocarbonaceous oil stream containing the sulfur-oxidated compounds is treated to decompose any residual oxidizing agent and is contacted with a selective adsorbent having a greater selectivity for the sulfur-oxidated compounds than for the sulfur-free hydrocarbonaceous oil to produce an adsorbent containing at least a portion of the sulfur-oxidated compounds and a hydrocarbonaceous oil stream having a reduced concentration of sulfur-oxidated compounds.
- The present invention discloses a novel integrated process that is capable of easily and economically reducing the sulfur content of hydrocarbonaceous oil while achieving high recovery of the original feedstock. Important elements of the present invention are the minimization of the cost of hydrotreating in the integrated two-stage desulfurization process and the ability to economically desulfurize hydrocarbonaceous oil to a very low level while maximizing the yield of the desulfurized hydrocarbonaceous oil.
- Other embodiments of the present invention encompass further details such as feedstocks, hydrodesulfurization catalysts, oxidizing solutions, oxidizing agents, selective solvents and operating conditions, all of which are hereinafter disclosed in the following discussion of each of these facets of the invention.
- The drawing is a simplified process flow diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- The present invention provides an improved integrated process for the deep desulfurization of hydrocarbonaceous oil in a two-stage desulfurization process. In accordance with the present invention, a preferred hydrocarbonaceous oil feedstock contains distillable hydrocarbons boiling in the range from about 93° C. (200° F.) to about 565° C. (1050° F.) and more preferably from about 149° C. (300° F.) to about 538° C. (1000° F.). The hydrocarbonaceous oil feedstock is contemplated to contain from about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent sulfur and the process is most advantageously utilized when the feedstock contains high levels of sulfur and the desired desulfurized product contains a very low concentration of sulfur. Preferred product sulfur levels are less than about 100 wppm, more preferably less than about 50 wppm, and even more preferably less than about 30 wppm.
- The hydrocarbonaceous oil containing sulfur compounds is introduced into a catalytic hydrodesulfurization zone containing hydrodesulfurization catalyst and maintained at hydrodesulfurization conditions. The catalytic hydrodesulfurization zone may contain a fixed, ebullated or fluidized catalyst bed. This reaction zone is preferably maintained under an imposed pressure from about 101 kPa (14.7 psig) to about 13.9 MPa (2000 psig) and more preferably under a pressure from about 800 kPa (100 psig) to about 12.5 MPa (1800 psig). Suitably, the hydrodesulfurization reaction is conducted with a maximum catalyst bed temperature in the range from about 204° C. (400° F.) to about 400° C. (750° F.) selected to perform the desired hydrodesulfurization conversion to reduce the concentration of the sulfur compounds to the desired level. In accordance with the present invention, it is contemplated that the desired hydrodesulfurization conversion includes, for example, desulfurization, denitrification and olefin saturation. Further preferred operating conditions include liquid hourly space velocities in the range from about 0.05 hr.−1 to about 20 hr.−1 and hydrogen to feed ratios from about 200 standard cubic feet per barrel (SCFB) (33.7 nm3/m3) to about 50,000 SCFB (8425 nm3/m3), preferably from about 200 SCFB (33.7 nm3/m3) to about 10,000 SCFB (1685 nm3/m3). The hydrodesulfurization zone operating conditions are preferably selected to produce a desulfurized hydrocarbonaceous oil containing from about 100 to about 1000 wppm sulfur.
- The preferred catalytic composite disposed within the hereinabove-described hydrodesulfurization zone can be characterized as containing a metallic component having hydrodesulfurization activity, which component is combined with a suitable refractory inorganic oxide carrier material of either synthetic or natural origin. The precise composition and method of manufacturing the carrier material is not considered essential to the present invention. Preferred carrier materials are alumina, silica, and mixtures thereof. Suitable metallic components having hydrodesulfurization activity are those selected from the group comprising the metals of Groups VIB and VIII of the Periodic Table, as set forth in the Periodic Table of the Elements, E.H. Sargent and Company, 1964. Thus, the catalytic composites may comprise one or more metallic components from the group of molybdenum, tungsten, chromium, iron, cobalt, nickel, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, ruthenium, and mixtures thereof. The concentration of the catalytically active metallic component, or components, is primarily dependent upon a particular metal as well as the physical and/or chemical characteristics of the particular hydrocarbon feedstock. For example, the metallic components of Group VIB are generally present in an amount within the range of from about 1 to about 20 weight percent, the iron-group metals in an amount within the range of about 0.2 to about 10 weight percent, whereas the noble metals of Group VIII are preferably present in an amount within the range of from about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent, all of which are calculated as if these components existed within the catalytic composite in the elemental state. In addition, any catalyst employed commercially for hydrodesulfurizing middle distillate hydrocarbonaceous compounds to remove nitrogen and sulfur may function effectively in the hydrodesulfurization zone of the present invention. It is further contemplated that hydrodesulfurization catalytic composites may comprise one or more of the following components: cesium, francium, lithium, potassium, rubidium, sodium, copper, gold, silver, cadmium, mercury and zinc.
- The hydrocarbonaceous effluent from the hydrodesulfurization reaction zone is separated to produce a gaseous stream containing hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide and normally gaseous hydrocarbons, and a liquid hydrocarbonaceous stream having a reduced concentration of sulfur compounds. This resulting liquid hydrocarbonaceous stream in one preferred embodiment of the present invention is contacted with an aqueous oxidizing solution in an oxidation zone to convert sulfur-containing compounds into sulfur-oxidated compounds. Any suitable known aqueous oxidizing solution may be used to perform the sulfur oxidation. In a preferred embodiment, the aqueous oxidizing solution contains acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Preferably the molar feed ratio of hydrogen peroxide to sulfur ranges from about 1 to about 10 or more and the molar ratio of acetic acid to hydrogen peroxide ranges from about 0.1 to about 10 or more. The oxidation conditions including contact time are selected to give the desired results as described herein and the pressure is preferably great enough to maintain the aqueous solution in a liquid phase during the contacting of the hydrocarbonaceous oil. Preferred oxidation conditions include a pressure from about atmospheric to about 800 kPa (100 psig), and a temperature from about 38° C. (100° F.) to about 149° C. (300° F.). Since the aqueous oxidizing solution and the hydrocarbonaceous oil are immiscible, the oxidation zone must have the ability to intimately mix and contact the two phases to ensure the completion of the chemical oxidation. Any suitable means may be used for the contacting and preferred methods include the use of a packed mixing column with countercurrent flows of the two phases or in-line mixing apparatus.
- In the event that there is residual hydrogen peroxide after the completion of the oxidation, it is preferred that the stream containing the residual hydrogen peroxide is contacted with a suitable catalyst to decompose the hydrogen peroxide. A preferred hydrogen peroxide decomposition catalyst is a supported transition metal, a transition metal complex or a transition metal oxide. The decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide is conducted to simplify the recovery and separation of the reaction products including sulfur-oxidated compounds recovered from the oxidation zone. Preferred decomposition operating conditions include a pressure from about atmospheric to about 100 psig and a temperature from about 38° C. (100° F.) to about 149° C. (300° F.).
- The resulting effluent from the oxidation zone after decomposition of the oxidizing agent contains desulfurized hydrocarbonaceous oil, sulfur-oxidated compounds such as sulfoxides and sulfones, for example, water and acetic acid. This resulting effluent from the oxidation zone is contacted with a selective adsorbent having a greater selectivity for the sulfur-oxidated compounds than for the sulfur-free hydrocarbonaceous oil to produce a selective adsorbent containing at least a portion of the sulfur-oxidated compounds and a hydrocarbonaceous oil having a reduced concentration of sulfur. Any suitable known selective adsorbent may be used to selectively extract the sulfur-oxidated compounds. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the selective adsorbent is selected from the group consisting of aluminosilicates such as X and Y type zeolites, zeolite beta, and L-zeolite, highly silaceous zeolites such as ZSM-5 and silicalite, and silica aluminophosphates such as SAPO-34. The preferred selective adsorbents are contacted with the effluent from the oxidation zone in an adsorption zone. In a preferred mode, the sulfur-oxidated compounds are adsorbed with thermally stable aluminosilicates such as Y-type zeolite, dealuminated Y type zeolite, zeolite beta, and zeolite L. The raffinate hydrocarbonaceous oil recovered from the adsorption zone preferably contains less than about 100 weight ppm, more preferably less than about 50 weight ppm sulfur and even more preferably less than about 30 wppm.
- The resulting adsorbent is regenerated to recover the adsorbed sulfur-oxidated compounds and the regenerated adsorbent is preferably recycled to the adsorption zone. The regeneration of the adsorbent may be accomplished by desorbing the adsorbed sulfur-oxidated compounds by heating and/or by contacting with a liquid or vapor desorbent.
- In one embodiment, operation of the invention is achieved as a fixed bed adsorber by introducing reacted mixture from the sulfur oxidation zone to an adsorption zone until a selected portion of the adsorptive capacity of the selective adsorbent is exhausted. By suitable valving means the flow of reacted mixture from the sulfur oxidation zone is then halted and the exhausted adsorption zone is regenerated in a desorption zone by desorbing the sulfur-oxidated compounds from the adsorbent with desorbent material. In this manner, a single fixed bed may be so employed in the desulfurization process of the instant invention.
- In another embodiment, operation of the invention is achieved as a fixed bed adsorber by introducing reacted mixture from the sulfur oxidation zone to a first adsorption zone until a selected portion of the adsorptive capacity of the selective adsorbent is exhausted. By suitable valving means the flow of reacted mixture from the sulfur oxidation zone is then redirected to a second adsorption zone containing selective adsorbent which has been previously regenerated and the exhausted adsorption zone is regenerated in a desorption zone by desorbed the sulfur-oxidated compounds from the adsorbent with desorbent material. In this manner, any desired number of fixed beds may be so arranged in the desulfurization of the instant invention.
- In another embodiment, operation of the invention is achieved as a fluidized or ebullated bed adsorber by introducing reacted mixture from the sulfur oxidation zone to an fluidized adsorption zone until a selected portion of the adsorptive capacity of the selective adsorbent is exhausted. By suitable means at least a portion of the exhausted adsorbent from the adsorption zone is then redirected to a desorption zone and the exhausted adsorbent is regenerated desorbing the sulfur-oxidated compounds from the adsorbent with desorbent material.
- In yet another embodiment, operation of the invention is achieved as simulated countercurrent adsorber by introducing reacted mixture from the sulfur oxidation zone to a moving bed adsorption zone until a selected portion of the adsorptive capacity of the selective adsorbent is exhausted. By suitable means at least a portion of the exhausted adsorbent from the adsorption zone is then redirected to a desorption zone and the exhausted adsorbent is regenerated desorbing the sulfur-oxidated compounds from the adsorbent with desorbent material.
- In the drawing, the process of the present invention is illustrated by means of a simplified flow diagram in which such details as pumps, instrumentation, heat-exchange and heat-recovery circuits, compressors and similar hardware have been deleted as being non-essential to an understanding of the techniques involved. The use of such miscellaneous equipment is well within the purview of one skilled in the art.
- With reference now to the drawing that illustrates a two-bed fixed adsorber operation, with one bed in the adsorption mode and one bed in the desorption mode, a hydrocarbonaceous oil containing sulfur is introduced into the process via line 1 and enters hydrodesulfurization zone 3. A fresh hydrogen stream is introduced via
line 2 and is admixed with a hydrogen-rich gaseous recycle stream provided via line 7 and the resulting admixture is introduced into hydrodesulfurization zone 3 vialine 2. A gaseous stream containing hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide and normally gaseous hydrocarbons is removed from hydrodesulfurization zone 3 vialine 5 and at least a portion is recycled via line 7 as described hereinabove and at least another portion is removed from the process via line 6. A hydrocarbonaceous stream having a reduced concentration of sulfur is removed from hydrodesulfurization zone 3 via line 4 and introduced intosulfur oxidation zone 8 vialine 12 along with a carboxylic acid stream provided vialines lines sulfur oxidation zone 8 in order to oxidize the sulfur compounds. A resulting reacted mixture is removed fromsulfur oxidation zone 8 vialine 13 after decomposing any residual hydrogen peroxide and is transported vialine 14,valve 15,lines adsorption zone 18 and is contacted with previously regenerated selective adsorbent. A resulting hydrocarbonaceous stream containing a reduced concentration of sulfur is removed fromadsorption zone 18 vialine 19,line 20,valve 21,line 22 andline 23 and recovered. Desorbent stream 25, optionally comprisingfresh desorbent stream 24 and/or recycled desorbent carried vialine 37 is introduced via line 25, line 26,valve 27,line 28, andline 29 into a previously exhausted adsorption zone comprisingdesorption zone 30. A desorption stream rich in oxidized sulfur compounds is removed fromdesorption zone 30 vialine 31,line 32,valve 33,line 34, andline 49 and is introduced intodistillation zone 35. A desorbent stream having a reduced concentration of sulfur-oxidated compounds is removed fromdistillation zone 35 vialine 37 and is optionally recycled todesorption zone 30 as hereinabove described. Oxidized sulfur compounds are removed fromdistillation zone 35 vialine 36 and recovered. Whenadsorption zone 18 becomes spent, the stream carried vialine 13 is transported vialine 38,valve 39,line 40, andline 31 and is introduced into previously regenerateddesorption zone 30. The now adsorptionzone 30 produces an effluent stream having a reduced concentration of sulfur compounds which stream is transported vialine 29,line 41,valve 42,line 43, andline 23 and recovered. The spentadsorption zone 18 is regenerated by the introduction of a desorption stream carried via line 25,line 44,valve 45,line 46, andline 19 into spentadsorption zone 18. A resulting effluent is recovered vialine 17,line 16,valve 47,line 48, andline 49 and introduced intodistillation zone 35. - Selective adsorbents useful in the present invention are identified by the following illustrative calculations. These calculations are, however, not presented to unduly limit the selective adsorbents useful in this invention, but to illustrate the molecular properties of the sulfur-containing and sulfur-oxidated compounds that play a role in the adsorption and removal from hydrocarbonaceous oil in the hereinabove described embodiment. The following results were not obtained by the actual measurement of the properties of the compounds but are considered prospective and reasonably illustrative of the expected performance of the invention based upon sound quantum chemistry calculations.
- The chemical structures and selected molecular properties of methyl thiophene, methyl thiophene sulfone, methyl thiophene sulfoxide, benzothiophene, benzothiophene sulfone, and benzothiophene sulfoxide were calculated by the use of semi-empirical molecular orbital theory using the PM3 Hamiltonian as described by J.J.P. Stewart, “Optimization of Parameters for Semi-Empirical Methods 1-Method”, Journal of Computational Chemistry,
Volume 10, 1989, pages 209-220, and are presented in Table 1.TABLE 1 Sulfur Atom Dipole Partial Charge Limiting Moment, (electrostatic Dimension, Compound (debye) units) (angstroms) 2-methyl thiophene 0.950 0.303 4.588 2-methyl thiophene sulfone 4.718 1.063 4.636 2-methyl thiophene sulfoxide 5.669 2.285 4.654 Benzothiophene 1.089 0.261 5.010 Benzothiophene sulfone 4.546 1.063 5.006 Benzothiophene sulfoxide 5.573 2.285 5.002 - A first property affecting selective adsorption of the sulfur-oxidated molecules compared to the molecules comprising is dipole moment. Dipole moment increases upon oxidation of the sulfur-containing molecules and reflects an increase in polarity of the sulfur-oxidated molecules compared to hydrocarbonaceous oil molecules and un-oxidized sulfur-containing molecules. Such an increase in dipole moment increases the adsorption selectivity for the sulfur-oxidated molecules compared to un-oxidized sulfur-containing molecules and molecules comprising hydrocarbonaceous oil, when using such adsorbents as silica, alumina, silicates, aluminosilicates and aluminophosphates in the instant invention.
- A second property affecting selective adsorption of the sulfur-oxidated molecules compared to the molecules comprising is the atomic partial charge on the sulfur atom. Positive partial charge on sulfur increases upon oxidation of the sulfur-containing molecules and reflects an increase in electrostatic attraction for the sulfur-oxidated molecules to adsorbent atoms bearing negative partial charge compared to hydrocarbonaceous oil molecules and un-oxidized sulfur-containing molecules. Such an increase in electrostatic attraction increases the adsorption selectivity for the sulfur-oxidated molecules compared to un-oxidized sulfur-containing molecules and molecules comprising hydrocarbonaceous oil, when using such adsorbents such as silica, alumina, silicates, aluminosilicates and aluminophosphates in the instant invention.
- A third property that affects selective adsorption of the sulfur-oxidated molecules in preference of the un-oxidized sulfur-containing molecules is molecular size. The crystalline structure of certain selective adsorbents such as crystalline silicates, aluminosilicates, and aluminophosphates may manifest channels and pores that are of molecular dimensions. In the present invention, if the sulfur-oxidated molecules are small enough to gain access to such channels and pores, they may be selectively adsorbed compared to larger molecules in the hydrocarbonaceous oil. The calculated limiting dimensions for the sulfur-oxidated molecules indicate that such molecules can gain access to the pore structures and be selectively adsorbed by such adsorbents as X and Y-type zeolites, dealuminated Y zeolite, L-zeolite, beta zeolite, SAPO-34, and the like. In addition, because many such microporous adsorbents display a selectivity for more polar molecules compared to less polar molecules, enhancement of dipole moment and sulfur positive partial charge via sulfur oxidation while not increasing the limiting molecular dimension makes these adsorbents particularly advantageous for use in the instant invention.
- The process of the present invention is further demonstrated by the following illustrative embodiment. This illustrative embodiment is, however, not presented to unduly limit the process of this invention, but to further illustrate the advantages of the hereinabove-described embodiment. The following results were not obtained by the actual performance of the present invention but are considered prospective and reasonably illustrative of the expected performance of the invention based upon sound engineering calculations.
- A stream of straight run vacuum gas oil boiling in the range of about 315° C. (600° F.) to about 482° C. (900° F.) and containing about 2 weight percent sulfur is introduced into a hydrodesulfurization zone containing a hydrodesulfurization catalyst which contains alumina, nickel, molybdenum and phosphorus. The hydrodesulfurization zone is operated at a pressure of 11.8 MPa (1700 psig), a hydrogen to feed ratio of 843 nm3/m3 (5000 SCFB) and a maximum catalyst temperature of 393° C. (740° F.) to reduce the residual sulfur in the resulting desulfurized vacuum gas oil to about 500 weight ppm (0.05 weight percent). The desulfurized vacuum gas oil is then introduced into an oxidation reaction zone and contacted with acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide in water. The molar feed ratio of hydrogen peroxide to sulfur is about 5 and the molar ratio of acetic acid to hydrogen peroxide is about 5, and the contacting is conducted at a temperature of 65° C. (150° F.) and a pressure of 207 kPa (30 psig). The effluent from the oxidation reaction zone is passed over a catalyst containing a mixed oxide of iron and molybdenum to decompose the unreacted hydrogen peroxide and then introduced into an adsorber wherein the sulfur-oxide compounds are extracted with Y zeolite as a selective adsorbent to produce a finished product containing less than 30 weight ppm sulfur. A spent selective adsorbent is regenerated to remove sulfur-oxide compounds and the subsequently regenerated adsorbent is returned to adsorbent service.
- The foregoing description, drawing and illustrative embodiment clearly illustrate the advantages encompassed by the process of the present invention and the benefits to be afforded with the use thereof.
