Definitions
- This invention relates to the treating of hydrocarbon products and is particularly concerned with a process for removing sulfur compounds from hydrocarbon oils such as gasoline, kerosene,
- naphthas solar oils, fuel oils, etc.
- which may be either straight run distillates or crackeddistillates, and may be derived from petroleum crudes, fractions of coal tar, or-brown coal tar, and mixtures obtained by the hydrogenation of carbonaceous substances.
- myprocess may be operated more efciently, i; e., so as to improve the purity of the sulfur compounds which are ob-v tained in the bottom product, by fractionating in I the manner disclosed in my copending application Serial No. 12,007 filed March 20, 1935.
- the ratio of desirable hydrocarbons to the solvent in the top product is maintained equal to the ratio of .these substances in the feed. This may be effected according to either of the following modes of operation: 40
- a. 'Ihe overhead mixture, or a portion thereof, is treated to withdraw therefrom a top product containing the solvent and the hydrocarbons in the same ratio as they occur in the feed, and the l remaining portion of the overhead mixture is re- A turned to the column, either with the reiiux, or separately at another level in the column.
- a convenient method of withdrawing this top product from the overhead mixture consists in chilling the portion of the overhead which is ⁇ to be treated so as to cause it to stratify into two liquid phases of different composition, i.
- the ratio of the solvent and the initial sulfur-bearing hydrocarbon mixture is so controlled as to produce a feed composition which contains the solventv and the hydrocarbons in the same ratio as they occur in the overhead mixture, which is then withdrawn from the system as top product.
- Another purpose of this preliminary distillation is to effect an increased efficiency of the process of ,my invention.
- I have found that if the fractions treated having boiling ranges which are not substantially greater than 30 C. or 80 C., I am, in some cases, able to obtain a much sharper separation, whereby both the quantity of sulfur compounds in the distillate and the quantity of hydrocarbons in the bottom product are greatly reduced.
- a solvent having a boiling point which is sufllciently lovr to cause a mixture of said solvent and the highest boiling. hydrocarbon of the mixture to boil at a temperature below the lowest boiling sulfur compounds to be removed. It is, therefore, possible to use solvents boiling at temperatures below the boiling range of the fraction, or at temperatures falling within or even above the said range, provided that the solvent and the hydrocarbons form low boiling mixtures which boil below the lowest boiling sulfur compound, or sufficiently low to produce aflnal product of a desired sulfur content. While my process may be employed to cause the removal of substantially all of the sulfur, it is alsopracticcd when the sulfur content is merely lowered and a portion of the sulfur is retained in the final product.
- I may employ any solvent which has the above described boiling temperature characteristics, and which is a selectivo solvent for the sulfur compounds.
- I may use organic polar liquids of the type used in the liquid solvent extraction of hydrocarbon mixtures to cilecta separation between aromatic and paraillnic hydrocarbons, or
- R designates an alkyl radical, which may be either alphyl or aryl.
- solvents are: Nitrobenzene, benzonitrile, monochloracetontrile, phenyl thiocyanate,4 phenolthiocyanate, formate of pyridine, benzaldehyde, acetone, furi'ural, furfuryl alcohol, chlorisopropyl alcohol, diacetone alcohol, aniline methyl lactate, triacetin, diacetin, methyl nitrobenzoate,
- My invention is not, however, limited to the specic solvents enumerated, nor to solvents containing the enumerated chemical groups, but may be used with any selective solvent for sulfur compounds.
- My invention is not concerned with distillation processes employing immiscible liquids, like water,and described Ain the British Specication No. 365,571.
- I is a fractional distillation column, provided with an intake manifold 2,
- a valve 'I may beprovided to regulate the quantity of reux, and may, if desired, be operated automatically, as by a'fiow controller, a thermostat or a pressure responsive devicelocated in the fractionating column I.
- the top product may be withdrawn at 6 from condensate of the condenser 4, or a separate top product takeoff may be provided. Heaters, heat exchangers, pumps, gauges, and other auxiliary equipment, not shown, may be provided.
- a feed mixture of hydrocarbons and sulfur compounds iiows through a conduit 3 and valve I0, and is mixed in a mixing device II with a suitable selective solvent introduced from a storage I2 through a conduit I3 and valve I4, and
- fractionating column I A portionof the condensate from the condenser 4, consisting of hydrocarbons containing no sulfur or substantially reduced amounts of sulfur, andsolvent, is withdrawn through 6 as top product Aat the proper rate, controlled by 'a valve I5.
- the solvent may in certain cases be allowed to remain in the top product, as when it imparts desirable characteristics to the hydrocarbons. If'desired, the
- solvent may be recovered by feeding the top product into a fractional distillation column I8, which may besimilar to the column I, in that it is equipped with an intake manifold I1, an overhead takeoif I8, a reflux condenser. I9, ⁇ and a reflux line 20; controlled by a valve 2
- the solvent in any desired state of purity. may be withdrawn at 22 and returned tostorage through a. conduit 23, and the hydrocarbons may be recovered at 24 at a rate controlled by a valve 25.
- the sulfur compounds may be withdrawn at 2'6 in a. concentrated form as a bottom product of the column I, at a rate controlled by a valve 21.
- the quantity of these sulfur compounds is generally very small as compared to the quantity of hydrocarbons distilled, and I have found it to be desirable, but not necessary, to permit the sulfur compounds toy accumulate in the bottom of. the still, which may be operated either continuously or in a batch operation, and to remove the bottom product only after a sufficient amount of sulfur l compounds has been concentrated to permit the removal as bottoms of a product which is rich in sulfur compounds, and low in hydrocarbons, thereby materially reducing the loss of the desired hydrocarbons.
- I may initially close the valve 21 and operate the column I until enoughv l example, at the same rate as the sulfur compounds are fed into the column at 2.
- I may initiallyrun a number of batches and then remove all of the bottoms at once, or may then withdraw after each run only as much sulfur bottoms as was introduced during the preceding run. Similarly, in continuous operations, I may initially operate for the time required to build up the desired sulfur concentration, and then either remove all of the bottoms, Aor open the valve 21 so as to withdraw a small quantity sufficient to maintain a substantially constant sulfur concentration in the column.
- the bottom product from 26 may, if desired, be further fractionated to recover the solvent, if it is present in sufficient quantity to warrant recovery.
- I l may reduce the load on the fractionator -I6 by rst cooling and/or chilling the top product in a cooler 28, and feeding it through a conduit 29 into a decanter, centrifuge, or other suitable phase separator 33, valve 3
- the cooler 28 cools the top product to a temperature at which it separates into two liquid phases. Assuming that the phase consisting mainly or totally of the solvent is heavier than the other phase, it is withdrawn at 32, and may be returned to storage through a conduit 23', r taken off at 33 as a separate product. It may be, if desired, further concentrated by any desired method, such as distillation, salting out, extraction, etc., before being returned to the storage I2. phase, which is richer in hydrocarbons, may be withdrawn at 34 and taken off as a product at 35, or fed to the fractionating column I6 through a conduit 36.
- the sep-V arated phases from "the phase separator 30 can be divided into a top product of the desired com- Y position and quantity, which is withdrawn through the conduits 38 and 39, and, valves 45 and 46 being open, a secondary or added reflux, which is returned to the column I through conduits 40 and '4I and introduced either with the main reflux, for instance, after being mixed therewith in a mixer
- the other vent but may have a composition corresponding to that of the phase withdrawn at 32 and returned through the conduit 23.
- an overhead mixture will be withdrawn at 3 which will contain hydrocarbons and the solvent in a ratio Y, which will not, save.
- valve 1 it is possible to close valve 1, and to carry all of the reflux through conduits lil and Il.
- the valves I and il are adjusted so that X, the ratio of hydrocarbons to solvent in the feed at 2 is equal to Y, the ratio of these components in the overhead mixture.
- the valves 45 and 46 remain closed and the top product composition is the same as that of the overhead mixture.
- the top product may, therefore, be fed directly into the column I6 through the valve I5, thereby eliminating the phase separator 3l.
- the. phase separator 30 may be employed to effect the separation of the solvent and the hydrocarbons in the manner described above.
- the hydrocarbons which are useful in my distillation are preferential solvents for certain components of hydrocarbon oils
- the hydrocarbons may be separated into portions which are relatively more parafiinic and less paraiiinic.
- the hydrocarbons withdrawn at 34 are more parafiinic than those which occur inv the solvent-phase which is withdrawn at 32. It is often possible to further extract the phase flowing through conduit 39 with additional solvent from the tank l2 or with a different solvent, to
- a continuous process of refining a hydrocarbon fraction containing sulfur compounds the steps of continuously introducing the said fraction and a preferential solvent for the said sulfur compounds into a distilling apparatus, maintaining within the apparatus counterow.- ing streams of vapors and reflux derived from the combined mixture, maintaining the conditions of temperature, pressure, and reflux in said apparatus to distill at least a substantial portion of the solvent together with refined hydrocarbons, continuously withdrawing from the apparatus a top product containing the refined hydrocarbons and forming a distillation bottom product inwhich sulfur compounds are concentrated.
- the process of refining a hydrocarbon fraction containing sulfur compounds which comprises introducing a feed mixture containing the said fraction and a preferential solvent for the said sulfur compounds into a distillation zone, maintaining the conditions of temperature and pressure in said zone to distill at least a sub" stantial portion of the solvent together with refined hydrocarbons, withdrawing ffrom the distillation zone a rectified overhead mixture derived from the said feed mixture forming a distillation bottom product in which sulfur compounds are concentrated, withdrawing a portion of the said overhead mixture as a top product and adjusting the quantity of the solvent in A the feed mixture so that the solvent and the hydrocarbons occur in the feed in substantially the same ratio as they occur in the top product.
