The present invention relates to the manufacture and production of saturated hydrocarbons of the gasoline type by catalytic hydrogenation of hydrocarbons having a boiling range similar to that of gasoline and which are obtained by polymerisation of unsaturated hydrocarbons.
The term polymerisation when herein employed is intended to include both normal polymerisation and interpolymerisation. Normal polymerisation means the formation of more complex molecules from simple molecules of one substance, the polymerisation product having the same percentage composition as that of the initial material. Interpolymerisation means the formation of more complex molecules from simple molecules of two or more substances, the interpolymerised molecules having the same percentage composition as the sum oi! the constituent molecules. For example, in the case of isobutylene ((CH3)2C=CH2), di-isobutylene and triisobutylene are polymerisation products; on the other hand an interpolymerisation product of isobutylene and of a-butylene may, for example, have the formula (cm) aC-CH=CH-CH2CH3 I In the catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons having a boiling range similar to that of gasoline, and. which are obtained by polymerisation of. unsaturated hydrocarbons of low boiling point, the initial materials may be passed together with hydrogen or gases containing sumcient free hydrogen over stationary catalysts. Low yields of the desired saturated hydrocarbons having a boiling range similar to that of gasoline are then, however, frequently obtained when the hydrogenation is carried out at high ternperatures, because. splitting of bonds between carbon atoms and/or depolymerisation occurs, with the result that hydrocarbons are formed the molecules of which contain a smaller number of carbon atoms than the initial polymerisation products. Moreover, polymerisation and/or condensation products of high molecular weight are sometimes formed during the hydrogenation, the yield in hydrocarbons having a boiling range similar to that ofv gasoline being thus lowered and the activity of the stationary catalysts weakened, due to the deposition of saidproducts of high molecular weight upon the catalysts.
In order to prevent splitting and depolymerisation,'it has been proposed to carry out the catalytic hydrogenation at low temperatures, but in this case products of high molecular weight are sometimes formed in increased amounts which converted into water vapour in the course settle on the stationary catalysts, thus diminishing their activity and very considerably lowering the yield of the desired saturated hydrocarbons.
I have now found that the production of saturated hydrocarbons of the gasoline type from hydrocarbons having a boiling range similar to that 01. gasoline, that means boiling within the range between about 30 and about 210 centigrade, obtained by polymerising unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, which expression when herein employed is intended to include unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons containing one or more unsaturated bonds between carbon atoms, more particularly double bonds, especially monoolefines, or mixtures containing such unsaturated hydrocarbons, by catalytic hydrogenation with an added gas comprising free hydrogen in the presence of a stationary hydrogenation catalyst is efiected with particularly high yield of the desired products by contacting the catalyst with water vapour.
In said operation the reactants will usually be in the vapour phase. o
The water vapour may be present in, or supplied to, the reactionspace in the course'of the hydrogenation process either continuously or intermittently, or alternately water vapour may be continuously present in the reaction space, if desired in varying amounts and the supply of one or more. of the reagents, in particular of polymerised hydrocarbon may be reduced or shut off from time to time.
The water vapour is usually introduced as such into the reaction space either alone or together with one or more of the reagents. Where convenient liquid water may, however, be introduced as such or in addition to steam, which water is of. the process' When water vapour is present in the reaction space in accordance with the present invention during the hydrogenation reaction proper its amount is usually small, for example, a few per cent by weight of the material to be hydrogenated. Suitable amounts of water are for instance 5, 3, 2 or 1 per cent, although larger amounts up to for example 10 per cent or smalleramounts such as 0.5 per cent may be employed.
When water vapour is intermittently present, the supply of material to be hydrogenated may, if .desired, be discontinued and also that of hydrogenating gases during the introduction of water vapour. Such a procedure will be used when, after hydrogenating for some time in the absence of water vapour or in the presence of insufliciently degree.
eflective amounts of water vapour, the activity of the catalyst begins to fall below the desired Steam is then passed either alone or together with the hydrogenating gases over the catalyst at elevated temperature, for example, the reaction temperature, the original activity of the catalyst being thus restored. The cycle of operations may be constantly repeated.
The process in accordance with the present invention allows of preparing saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons of a boiling point range similar to that of. gasoline and having, more particularly, a high octane number with a very high, and frequently substantially quantitative yield, due to the avoidance of losses occurring by the aforesaid splitting', depolymerisation and/or formation of high molecular compounds or due to the reduction of activity of the catalyst, from polymerisation products obtained, for example, from cracking gases and like mixtures containing unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons of. low boiling points, if desired in admixture with saturated hydrocarbons which do not participate in the polymerisation.
The present invention is of particular importance tor the preparation of iso-octane (trimethylpentane) from .di-isobutylene obtainedby polymerisingv isobutylene.
The polymerisation of the unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons may be carried out by conventional methods. For example, the initial unsaturated monomolecular aliphatic hydrocarbons such as propylene, a-butylene, fi-butylene, isobutylene, amylenes or mixtures thereof, may be absorbed in concentrated inorganic acids such as phosphoric and, more particularly, sulphuric acid, the resulting solution being then heated to effect polymerisation. The polymerisation may also be carried out without absorption agents by heating and/or by silent electric discharges.
' Also other polymerisation agents such as porous substances, for example, floridin, anhydrous zinc' chloride, ferric chloride, aluminum chloride and like metal halides may be employed'as polymerising agents, if desired suspended in anhydrous organic solvents, but the use or. inorganic acids is preferred. Dimers, trimers or even higher polymersmay be formed, the highest polymer employed will, however, usually be a trimer since it is the purpose of the, present invention finally to produce saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons or the boiling range of gasoline. I
The process in accordance with the present invention is usually carried out by continuously passing the said polymerisation products in the vaporous state together with hydrogen and water vapour at elevated temperatures, preferably below about 350. centigrade, in particular between 200 and 300 centigrade over stationary hydrogenation catalysts, more particularly those which are immune to poisoning by sulphur. Preferred catalysts of this type comprise oxides or sulphides of the metals of group 6 of the periodic table, such as tungsten and molybdenum. -Mixtures of catalysts may also be employed, for example, tungsten and/or molybdenum compounds in admixture with zinc oxide, magnesia or salts of phosphoric acid, silicic acid, boron salts and the like. Other hydrogenation catalysts may, however, also be employed in some instances. The catalysts may, when desirable, be supported by carriers and activated by the addition of pro-' moters. Examples of suitable carriers are granulated active carbon, pumice, clay, bleaching earths, such as bentonite and the like.
- given range.
The hydrogenation is usually carried out under pressure, say pressures of more than 50 atmospheres, for example, pressures of 100, 200, 300, 500 atmospheres or more, but lower pressures for example 40 atmospheres or atmospheric pressure may also be employed.
Pure or technically pure hydrogen may be used as hydrogenating gas in accordance with the present invention; the said gases'may contain, in admixture with the tree hydrogen, convenient amounts of other gases such as nitrogen, hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide, methane and the like.
When working in accordance with the present invention the stationary catalysts are not contaminated by the deposit of polymerisation prod uctsof high molecular weight even if the reaction temperature is comparatively low within the On the other hand depolymerisation and splitting are substantially avoided even if the hydrogenation is carried out at comparatively high temperatures.
The following example will further illustrate how the invention may be carried out in practice, but it should be understood that the invention is not limited to said example.
Example A product obtained by polymerising iso-butylene and substantially consisting of di-isobutylene is continuously passed at 260 centigrade with an addition of l per cent by weight of water vapour and an excess of free hydrogen with a throughput of 1.2 litres of di-isobutylene per litre of catalyst per hour under a pressure or 100 atmospheres over a catalyst obtained by impregnating granulated active carbon with an acidified solution of ammonium molybdate and then drying it. A product consisting practically entirely o iso-octane is obtained.
Under identical conditions, but in the absence of water vapour, iso-octane is produced in a yield of only per cent by weight. 9 per cent by weight of di-isobutylene remains unconverted, whilst 11 per cent by weight of iso-butane is formed as a result or depolymerisation.
