Definitions

  • This invention relates to a hydrocarbon conversion process and to a catalyst therefor. More particularly, this invention relates to a process for cracking, hydrocracking, polymerization, alkylation, dealkylation, reforming and isomerization of hydrocarbons using a zeolitic molecular sieve catalyst.
  • high octane parafiins must be incorporated in gasoline blends.
  • Such high octane parafiins can only be obtained from alkylation (which may require butane isomerization) or from the isomerization of pentanes, hexanes, or other light straight-chain hydrocarbons.
  • the catalysts employed for the reforming of gasoline fractions boiling above 90 C., to higher octane products also employ acidic halide activators of objectionably corrosive nature.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved process and catalyst for hydrocarbon conversion.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide improved process and catalyst for isomerization, reforming, cracking, polymerization, alkylation, dealkylation, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation and hydrocracking of hydrocarbons.
  • hydrocarbon conversion process is meant, in general, those processes for improving the octane number of gasoline or converting heavy hydrocarbons to light, low boiling hydrocarbons or converting hydrocarbons by hydrogenation or dehydrogenation to, for example, aromatics.
  • hydrocarbon conversion among those processes included in the term hydrocarbon conversion are isomerization, reforming, cracking, polymerization, alkylation, dealkylation, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation and hydrocracking.
  • a novel catalyst for the conversion of hydrocarbon comprises a crystalline zeol-itic molecular sieve having at least 40 percent of the aluminum tetrahedra satisfied by the presence of polyvalent meta-l cations and having a SiO /Al O molar ratio greater than 3, preferably greater than 3.3 with best results between about 3.5 and 6. It has been discovered that such a catalyst is effective for converting hydrocarbons in a process in which the mechanism of reaction of the hydrocarbons is postulated to pass through an ionic-type reaction, i.e., through the formation of carbonium ions.
  • Such a catalyst when loaded with a catalytically active metal, especially metals of Group VIII of the Periodic Table, in an amount of at least about 0.05 weight percent, is also effective for converting hydrocarbons in a process in which the mechanism of reaction of the hydrocarbons is postulated to pass through an ionic-type reaction.
  • zeolite in general, refers to a group of naturally occurring hydrated metal aluminosilicates, many of which are crystalline in structure. However, a number of synthetic crystalline zeolites have been prepared. They are distinguishable from each other and from the natur ally occurring material, on the basis of their composition, their crystal structure and their adsorption properties. A suitable method for describing the crystal structure, for example, is by their X-ray powder diffraction patterns.
  • Crystalline zeolites structurally consist basically of an open 3-dimensioned framework of SiO, and A tetrahedra.
  • any particular zeolitic molecular sieve can be identified independent of the type of cation it contains by the X-ray diffraction pattern and its other chemical components.
  • zeolites exhibit interstices of molecular dimensions.
  • the interstitial spaces are generally occupied by water of hydration.
  • these zeolites may be utilized as efiicient adsorbents whereby adsorbate molecules are retained within the interstitial spaces. Access to these channels is had by way of orifices in the crystal lattice. These openings limit the size and shape of the molecules that can be adsorbed. A separation of mixtures of foreign molecules based upon molecular dimensions, wherein certain molecules are adsorbed by the zeolite while others are refused, is therefore possible.
  • novel hydrocarbon conversion processes with which this invention is concerned has, as one of its essential features, the utilization therein of a novel zeolitic catalyst having the general structure also set forth above.
  • a zeolitic molecular sieve is utilized as the novel catalyst for the improved hydrocarbon conversion process. It has been discovered that the catalytic activity of the zeolite employed is strongly dependent on (1) the pore size, (2) crystallinity, (3) the silica-to-alumina molar ratio and (4) the type of cation in the structure.
  • the pore size is important to the catalytic activity in that it must be larger than the molecules of the feed and the product. The molecules should be admitted and desorbed freely from the structure. Therefore, in hydrocarbon conversion processes only large pore size molecular sieves able to internally adsorb benzene are practical.
  • the pore size can also be defined as one large enough to admit a substantial amount of branched-chain C to C hydrocarbons and to release their structurally rearranged counterparts or isomers.
  • the crystallinity of the zeolites strongly influences catalytic activity.
  • Zeolite catalysts having crystalline structures are more active than the non-crystalline zeolites with the same chemical composition.
  • the catalytic hydrocarbon reaction occurs at high temperatures.
  • the crystal structure of the catalyst should be heat stable at the reaction temperature.
  • a higher silica-alumina ratio has been found to improve heat-stability.
  • the silica-to-alumina molar ratio a measure of the distance between A10 tetrahedra, must be greater than 3 and preferably greater than 3.3 with best results in the range of 3.5 to about 6. This is of fundamental importance. Crystalline zeolites having silica-to-alumina molar ratios higher than about 6 are less desirable since the additional $0.; tetrahedra (lower A10 concentration, hence lower cation density) merely functions as a diluent. Calculations of the bond lengths, from which bond energies are calculated, show that in zeolites having a silicato-alumina molar ratio of 3 or less, such as that found in zeolite X, which is described in detail in U.S.
  • Patent 2,882,244 the distance between the majority of nearest neighbor A10 tetrahedra is such that when the monovalent cations are replaced by divalent (polyvalent) cations by ion exchange, the cation will be located equidistantly between the A10 tetrahedra from which the monovalent metal cations have been replaced. As such, the negative charges on these A10 tetrahedra are equally balanced by the charges on the divalent (polyvalent) cations.
  • the degree of ion-exchange of the alkali metal cations by polyvalent metal cations is critical and for the process of this invention it has been found that the equivalent amount of polyvalent cations contained on the zeolitic aluminosilicate should be at least 40 percent. Moreover, as more monovalent metal cations are removed, the activity of the catalyst increases. In other words, in the catalyst of this invention, less than 60 percent of the aluminum atoms will be associated with monovalent cations.
  • the polyvalent metal cations of the catalyst may be a mixture of two or more different metal cations to enhance the activity of the catalysts.
  • Polyvalent metal cations preferred in the invention include aluminum, beryllium, calcium, cerium, chromium, magnesium, manganese, strontium, and zinc.
  • Additional alkali metal cations may be removed by ion-exchange with ammonium or alkyl-substituted ammonium cations. These may then be driven off during a later activation treatment and also provide additional active sites in the aluminosilicate structure. The production of such additional active sites is called decationization of the zeolite and does not cause destruction of the essential crystalline structure of zeolite Y. Decationization is more fully described in copending application, Serial No. 862,764, issued April 21, 1964, as US. Patent 3,130,006. The description thereof is incorporated herein by reference.

  • the polyvalent cationic metal containing and non-metal containing zeolite catalysts of the present invention exhibit catalytic activity for all hydrocarbon conversion processes
  • the polyvalent cationic metal containing zeolite catalysts show improved results in certain specific conversion processes. Included in such processes are: isomerization, reforming, hydrocracking, alkylation and dealkylation.
  • the preferred polyvalent cations are magnesium and calcium, magnesium being particularly preferred, and the preferred loaded metals are palladium and platinum.
  • the catalytically active metal may be introduced to the crystalline aluminosilicate by any method which will result in the attainment of a highly dispersed catalytically active metal.
  • the methods which have been successfully employed are (l) impregnation using an aqueous solution of a suitable metal compound followed by drying and thermal or chemical decomposition of the metal compound; (2) adsorption of a fluid decomposable compound of the metal followed by thermal or chemical decomposition of the metal compound; (3) cation exchange using an aqueous solution of a suitable metal salt followed by chemical reduction of the cation; (4) cation exchange using an aqueous solution of a suitable metal compound in which the metal is in the cationic state with coordination complexing agents followed by thermal or chemical decomposition of the cationic complex.
  • Methods 1), (2) and (3) are conveniently employed to introduce metals such as copper, silver, gold, cadmium, iron, cobalt and nickel while methods (1), (2) and (4) are suitable for introducing the platinum and palladium group metals.
  • Method (2) is suitable for introducing metals such as titanium, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, rhenium, manganese, zinc and vanadium.
  • the metal loading techniques of methods (2), (3) and (4) are preferred, as the resulting products exhibit higher catalytic activity than those produced by method (1).
  • the ion exchange techniques of methods (3) and (4) are particularly advantageous since their products have exhibited the highest catalytic activities.
  • Methods (2), (3) and (4) are preferred because of the deposition of the active metal throughout the inner adsorption area of the molecular sieve, the most active dispersion being achieved by methods (3) and (4).
  • the impregnation method (1) may be practiced in any way that Will not destroy the essential structure of the crystalline zeolitic aluminosilicate. Impregnation differs from the other loading methods of this invention in that the metal is in the anionic part of a water soluble compound. The metal thus is only deposited on the external surfaces of the zeolite.
  • a water soluble compound of the active met-a1 such as a Group VIII metal, in an amount sulficient to contain the quantity of metal desired in the finally prepared catalyst product is dissolved in water and mixed with the crystalline zeolite.
  • the zeolite is then dried and heated to a temperature sufficient to thoroughly remove the water leaving the metal of the compound in a uniform deposit. Further heating may in some instances be required to convert the metal to its active state, such as heating in hydrogen or other reactive atmospheres.
  • Method (2) provides a means for depositing the active metals in the inner adsorption region of the molecular sieves.
  • the zeolite is first activated to remove any adsorbed water and then contacted With a fluid decomposable compound of the metal thereby adsorbing the compound into the sieve.
  • Typical of such compounds are the metal carbonyls, metal alkyls, volatile metal halides and the like.
  • the internally adsorbed compound is then reduced thermally or chemically to its elemental metal thus leaving an active metal uniformly dispersed throughout the internal adsorption region of the molecular sieve.
  • the zeolitic crystalline aluminosilicate be polyvalent ion-exchanged to its desired degree prior to the impregnation step or adsorption step, depending on the method in use, for the reason that some removal of the already deposited metal compound would result if the polyvalent ion-exchange was accomplished after these steps.
  • the aqueous solution of the metal compound in the impregnation method should be as concentrated as practical. To this end the best results are obtained it at least some of the water contained in the inner pores of the polyvalent ion-exchanged zeolite has been removed prior to mixing with the impregnation solution. Such removal is effected by heating to about 125 C. Temperatures up to 200 C. may be employed for this drying and will effect a more complete removal of the water.
  • the solution should be as concentrated as practical commensurate with achieving a uniform distribution of the metal compound on the zeolite.
  • Practical quantities of water are in the range by Weight of the zeolite from about 30 percent to percent. Less than 30 percent will not wet the zeolite thoroughly enough to distribute uniformly and over 100 percent will allow some solution to run-off with resultant loss of metal compound. About 60 weight percent has been found to produce good results.
  • the thus impregnated zeolite may then be dried by heating to about C. to evaporate enough of the water so that a powder product is obtained which may easily be pelletized in a conventional pellet press. The product may be then stored and the activation process requiring higher temperature, and sometimes hydrogen, treatment may be effected when the pellets have been installed in the reaction chamber for use. The activation method is discussed hereinafter.
  • the ion-exchange methods (3) and (4) differ since (3) relates to the use of metal salts, such as the chlorides and nitrates of the iron group metals, wherein the metal itself is the cation, whereas (4) relates to the use of compounds of metals, such as the platinum and palladium group metals, in which the metal is contained in the cationic portion of the compound in coordination complex form.
  • metal salts such as the chlorides and nitrates of the iron group metals, wherein the metal itself is the cation
  • (4) relates to the use of compounds of metals, such as the platinum and palladium group metals, in which the metal is contained in the cationic portion of the compound in coordination complex form.
  • the ion-exchange may be practiced in standard fashion, i.e., the metal compound is dissolved in an excess of water in an amount calculated to obtain the desired amount of metal in the catalyst product.
  • This solution is preferably then added to the previously polyvalent metal cation-exchanged zeolite with stirring and after a sufiicient time has elapsed to allow the ion-exchange to take place the exchanged zeolite is separated by filtration.
  • the ion-exchange of the active metal containing cations into the zeolite is substantially quantitative and the completeness of the exchange process can be detected by chemical tests for the metal in a sample of liquid from the exchanging solution.
  • the filtered zeolite may then be washed to the extent necessary to remove any residual occluded salts followed by drying to produce a pelletizable powder.
  • Decomposition of the active metal containing cation is eifected by heating to above 300 C. and preferably above 400 C.
  • the metal employed is of the iron-group, it is preferred to conduct this operation in a reducing atmosphere such as provided by hydrogen, methane or carbon monoxide while in the case of the noble metals air may be employed. This is preferably done after the powder has been pelletized, since if it is done beforehand it becomes necessary to perform pelletizing operation in a dry atmosphere to avoid rehydration beyond the extent that is preferred as discussed hereinafter.
  • the better catalytic activity shown by the metals introduced in the crystalline zeolite by ion-exchange rather than impregnation is believed due to the greater dispersion of the metal within the inner adsorption region of the crystalline zeolite achievable with ion-exchange techniques. It is believed that the metal introduced by ionexchange techniques is dispersed throughout the crystalline zeolite in essentially atomic dispersion. To more clearly show the improved activity of the metal loaded by ion-exchange techniques, two catalysts were prepared from the same zeolite and tested for hydrocracking activity.

It should be noted, however, that when the space velocity is kept constant, an increase in temperature will result in the yield of isoparafiins increasing steadily to a maximum. However, as aforementioned, after passing above the optimum temperatures set forth above, hyd-rocracking of the feed will increase. In this regard, the selectivity of the isomerization reaction is very high up to the optimum temperature. Above this temperature, however, the selectivity decreases.
