11 Claims.
Where hydrocarbons as of normally liquid character are heated with a catalyst for dehydrogenation or aromatization, cracking or breaking of the carbon chains has also occurred to a disturbing extent. In accordance with the present invention such hydrocarbons may be subjected to heat and catalyst for the special action desired, without incurring the distrubance and losses heretofore customary from associated cracking. Other objects and advantages will be apparent in the invention as the description proceeds.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, the invention, then, comprises the features hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims, the following description setting forth in detail certain illustrative embodiments of the invention, these being indicative however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principle of the inven- 1 tion may be employed.
The hydrocarbons to be treated may be of character desired, in accordance with particular conveniences of stocks and results in view, and for instance may be hydrocarbons which are normally liquid, or hydrocarbons of at least six carbon atoms, etc. Such hydrocarbon stock is subjected to heat in a range normally productive of wide scale cracking, such as a temperature of 750-1200 F. and the catalyst may be of detail as desired in'view of the particular effect contemplated as for instance dehydrogenating catalysts and when the stock has over six carbon atoms any aromatizing catalys by which is understood oxides of the metals of periodic group VI mixed with or deposited on a refractory oxide, such as aluminum, magnesium, thorium, silicon, beryllium, etc., and optionally with the presence of smaller amounts of oxides of copper, etc. The pressure in the heating zone may depend somewhat upon the character of products desired, and for instance where molecular conversion of non-benzenoid hydrocarbons to aromatics is required, pressure may be relatively low, as atmospheric up to.200 pounds per square inch, and particularly desirably 50 to 180 pounds. To the heating zone there is also supplied butane hydrocarbon, as butane, or preferably isobutane, or butene in amixture, the butane supply to be in a ratio of 0.25-4 mol per mol of the hydrocarbon being heated. Generally, a ratio of 1:1 is advantageous. A feed'of hydrogen is also supplied to the heating zone, the amount depending somewhat on thetotal pressure employed, and being for instance 1-6 mol of hydrogen per mol of the hydrocarbon being subjected to the heating operation. Desirable practice involves about a 3:1 ratio. Flow rates of hydrocarbon feed exclusive of butane may be 0.1-10 v. v. h. A feed ratio ofone volume per volume of catalyst perhour is in general satisfactory.
In some cases the off-gases from the catalytic zone may contain hydrocarbons of four carbon atoms and under and also hydrogen such as to be capable of being re-cycled and used in the process for a part or all of the butane and hydrogen requirement.
As an example: A vaporized naphtha from 11- linois petroleum is subjected, together with a mixture of isobutane and butane in 1:1 mol ratio, and hydrogen in 3:1 mol ratio, toa temperature of 1025 F. and a pressure of 100 pounds per square inch in a heating chamber in the presence of a 20:80 chromium oxide and aluminum oxide catalyst, the naphtha flow rate being one volume per hour per volume of catalyst. An 80 per cent yield of product showing 84 octane'number is obtained. The raw stock had an octane number of 49. In contrast, where operating to a product of the same knock-rating with the conditions the same except that the butane feed is omitted, the yield of the product is much lower, over 20 per cent lower.
Similarly, a narrow naphtha out including seven carbon atom stock, and a boiling range for instance 172-215 F., is subjected to aromatizing conditions in the presence of an aromatizing catalyst.
By extracting the product with a solvent for the aromatics, as sulphur dioxide, amines, etc., and re-cycling the non-benzenoid portion, the percentage yield of aromatics may be still further raised. o
Other modes of applying the principle of the invention may be employed, change being made as regards the details described, provided the features stated in any of the following claims,
or:'the equivalent of such, be employed.
I therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as my invention? l.
