Description
The hydroformed product is then hydrogenated catalytically with hydrogen to convert benzene into cyclohexane. Hydrogenation can be operated at temperature from 600 to 800 F. and pressure of 500 to 1000 p. s. i. g., preferably about 700 F. and 700 p. s. i. g. Suitable hydrogenation catalysts are nickel-tungsten sulfide, cobalt molybdate, and molybdena on alumina. The resulting cyclohexane-containing hydrogenation product is freed of hydrogen gas and fractionally distilled to prepare high purity cyclohexane as a bottoms fractions. At least part of the low boilers obtained in the final fractionation can be blended with the hydrocarbon feed mixture for recovery of cyclohexane and methylcyclopentane values.
Advantageously, the quantity of the additional methylcyclopentane-containing mixture (resulting from isomerizing the cyclohexane-enriched fraction) which is recycled to form a blend with the hydrocarbons fed to the primary methylcyclopentane stripping operation is controlled to establish and maintain mol ratio of cyclohexaneztotal associated hydrocarbons in the resulting blend, exclusive of methylcyclopentane, not substantially below about 0.05 :l and preferably above about 0.111. By so regulating this recycle the eliciency' and economy of the subsequent steps, i. e. the fractional distillation and the catalytic isomerization of the cyclohexane-enriched fraction, is substantially increased.
The drawings are flow diagrams showing ways of operating our process. Pumps, compressors, and controllers of flow, temperature, and pressure (not shown), are supplied where necessary or desirable. The specific example below is described with particular reference to the Figure l. All percentages are mol percentages and all parts are mol parts unless otherwise specified.
Example 3700 parts of straight run naphthenic distillate from California petroleum having boiling range of about 158 to 225 F. at atmospheric pressure and containing 5% light ends, cyclohexane, 10% methylcyclopentane, and balance of associated hydrocarbons is fed through lines 9 and 10 into fractionating tower 11 wherein hydrocarbons having atmospheric boiling point below 160 F. are separated and withdrawn through line 12. Thus stripped, the remainder of the naphthenic distillate, 3515 parts, is withdrawn through line 13. The stripped remainder is passed through line 14 into fractionating tower 15 together with 750 parts recycle hydrocarbons from line 25, obtained as hereinafter described. A methylcyclopentane cut, 640 parts, having boiling point range at atmospheric pressure at 160-170" F., is withdrawn through line 16. The residue consisting of cyclohexane and other higher boiling hydrocarbons is withdrawn through line 17 and passed into fractionating tower 18 wherein 3625 parts of a mixture of cyclohexane and associated hydrocarbons (principally mixed heptanes) having atmospheric boiling point between 170 and 200 F. is separated and withdrawn through line 20, heated in exchanger 21, and passed through line 22 into catalyst case 23. High boiling residue, 2625 parts, is withdrawn from tower 18 through line 19.
In tower 27 additional catalytically-formed methylcyclopentane, parts, is stripped from said quarter of the catalytically treated mixture, and the higher boiling materials are purged from line 29. The 90 parts of the additional catalytically-formed methylcyclopentane are withdrawn through line 28, combined with that flowing in line 16, and this blend passed through line 31 into catalyst case 33 with recycled hydrogen owing in from line 32 from a source described hereinafter.
The hydrogenation product is withdrawn through line 37, condensed in exchanger 38, and passed through line 39 into vessel 40. Gaseous hydrogen is separated and recycled through line 32 as previously described with a hydrogen purge being taken 01T line 47. Separated liquid is passed through line 41 into fractionating tower 42 wherein parts of hydrocarbons having boiling point below cyclohexane are fractionally distilled and withdrawn from line 43. A purge fraction of this distillate can be withdrawn from line 45, and the remainder can be recycled to blend with the straight run naphtha feed entering line 9. From line 46 there is withdrawn purified hydrogenation product containing 590 parts cyclohexane.
The operations depicted in Figure 2 are similar to those of Example 1 and use essentially the same equipment items as are shown in Figure l except that: the entire isomerized mixture from catalyst case 23 is passed into tower 27 for fractionation instead of being recycled in part to tower 15; catalytically-formcd additional methylcyclopentane is stripped in tower 27 and withdrawn through line 28 while the bulk of the resulting residue is recycled through line 48 into exchanger 21 for isomerization processing; and sufficient purge of the resulting residue is withdrawn from tower 27 by line 29 to prevent reduction of the mol ratio of cyclohexanezother hydrocarbons in the isomerization reactor feed to a value below about 0.1:1.
Obviously many modifications and variations of the invention, as hereinbefore set forth, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof and, therefore, only such limitations should be imposed as are indicated in the appended claims.
