  • This invention relates to hydrocarbon reforming processes, and more particularly to a novel catalytic composition and to a process for reforming of a naphtha fraction in the presence of the novel catalyst.
  • the new catalyst comprises platinum and rhenium supported on a porous solid carrier.
  • Prior art Catalytic reforming is well known in the petroleum industry and refers to the treatment of naphtha fractions to improve the octane rating.
  • the more important hydrocarbon reactions occurring during reforming operation employing catalysts comprising dehydrogenation-promoting metal components include dehydrogenation of naphthenes to aromatics, dehydrocyclization of normal p-araffins to naphthenes and aromatics, isomerization of normal paraflins to isoparaffins, and hydrocracking of relatively longchained parafiins. Hydrocracking reactions which produce high yields of light gaseous hydrocarbons, e.g., methane and ethane, are to be particularly avoided during reforming as this decreases the yield of gasoline boiling products.
  • hydrocracking is an exothermic process, as contrasted to reforming which, in general, is endothermic, hydrocracking reactions which result in the production of high yields of light gaseous products are generally accompanied by severe temperature excursions which can result in temperature runaways in a reforming operation.
  • Catalysts are thus often rated on the yield-octane number selectivity; i.e., compared on the basis of gasoline yield obtainable at the desired product octane number.
  • the catalysts should also possess good activity in order that the temperature required to produce a certain quality product need not be too high. Apart from good selectivity and activity, it is also necessary that catalysts possess good stability in order that the activity and selectivity characteristics can be retained during prolonged periods of operation.
  • Catalysts comprising platinum, for example, platinum supported on alumina, are well known and widely used for reforming of naphthas and gasoline boiling range materials in order to produce high octane number gasolines.
  • Platinum catalysts are highly selective toward the production of high octane aromatics and highly active for the several reactions that occur during reforming.
  • platinum catalysts are also very expensive because of the high cost of platinum and will probably become even more expensive as a result of the restricted availability of the metal.
  • Rhenium has been proposed in the prior art for use in catalytic reforming as a substitute for more common catalytic components such as platinum.
  • rhenium has been found to be extremely poor for reforming.
  • rhenium alone supported on charcoal or alumina was found to possess only limited reforming activity and to require excessively large concentrationsof the metal, above 5 weight percent, to obtain good activity.
  • Rhenium has also been suggested for use with palladium for reforming; thus a catalyst comprising palladium and rhenium impregnated on alumina, which catalyst was presulfided, was shown to have better initial reforming activity than a presulfided palladium-alumina catalyst when used to reform a sulfur-containing naphtha.
  • the activity of the palladium-rhenium presulfided catalyst decreased significantly after only limited use.
  • the platinum-rhenium catalytic composition was found to be less selective for the production of high octane gasoline products than a platinum-alumina catalyst.
  • a severe exotherm was observed in the catalyst bed.
  • I also prepared a catalyst comprising platinum and rhenium on alumina, sulfided said catalyst, and tested it for the reforming of a sulfur-containing feed.
  • the catalyst exhibited poor selectivity and activity.
  • the yield of high octane products was low, thus making the reforming process unattractive economically.
  • rhenium has been suggested for use with noble metals such as palladium, it was found that such combination was not satisfactory under the above conditions.
  • a catalyst comprising platinum and rhenium supported on alumina possesses high activity, and, particularly, good selectivity and stability, for the reforming of sulfur-free feeds. It was especially unexpected to find that a supported platinumrhenium catalyst would initially show undesirable hydrocracking, and then after reforming is continued the hydrocracking becomes negligible. In fact after the initial period the catalyst comprising platinum and rhenium on alumina is so far superior to a catalyst comprising platinum alone on alumina that the initial poor reforming, which results in the production of high yields of light gaseous hydrocarbons, can be tolerated for the time needed to reduce the excessive hydrocracking activity of the catalyst. It is possible to get longer run lengths with higher yields of high octane products with the platinum-rhenium supported catalyst than with a platinum catalyst without rhenium.
  • an improved reforming process can be conducted in the presence of catalysts comprising platinum and rhenium incorporated on or in porous solid carriers.
  • Rhenium in small concentrations, less than about weight percent, is effective as a promoter for platinum reforming catalysts, measurably lowering the yield decline rate, i.e., increasing the stability of the catalyst, when sulfur is excluded from the feedstock.
  • reforming of a fulfur-free naphtha fraction is accomplished by contacting said fraction at reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with a catalyst comprising a porous solid catalyst support having disposed thereon in intimate admixture 0.01 to 3 weight percent platinum and 0.01 to 5 weight percent rhenium.
  • a novel catalytic composition of matter comprising a porous solid catalyst carrier having disposed thereon in intimate admixture 0.01 to 3 Weight percent platinum and 0.01 to 5 weight percent rhenium.
  • the novel catalyst of the present invention is found to be highly active and stable for the reforming of naphtha and gasoline boiling-range hydrocarbons, and, in fact, is superior to commercial reforming catalysts containing platinum but no rhenium.
  • FIGURES 1 and 2 show, for comparison purposes, data from simulated life tests indicating the reforming activity and stability of a conventional catalyst comprising platinum on an alumina support, and a catalyst comprising latinum and rhenium on an alumina support.
  • the conditions of operation were more severe than normally used in a reforming operation in order to simulate the response of the catalysts to much longer tests (life tests).
  • the graph in FIGURE 1 shows the average catalyst temperatures as a function of length of test or hours onsteam required to maintain a IOU-octane (F-l clear) product for each of the two catalysts.
  • the graph in FIG- URE 2 shows as a function of the time on-stream, the yield of C liquid product, or gasoline having a 100- octane rating produced during reforming with each of the two catalysts. From FIGURE 2 it is seen that the process using the platinum-rhenium catalyst yields significantly higher amounts of lOO-octane gasoline product than the process using the platinum catalyst.
  • the catalyst temperatures and C liquid product volume percents used to make the comparisons in the graphs were obtained only after the hydrocracking activity of the platinumrhenium catalyst had subsided to that of the platinum catalyst. Thus, the catalysts had been on-stream for several hours before making the comparison shown in the graphs of FIGURES 1 and 2.
  • the hexagonal close pack (h.c.p.) structure of rhenium can also be observed.
  • Studies conducted with samples of catalysts comprising platinum alone on alumina, rhenium alone on alumina, and various concentrations of platinum and rhenium on alumina showed that for concentrations of rhenium on the catalyst of less than about 50 atomic weight percent, the h.c.p. rhenium structure was not present, or, at least, could not be detected; only the f.c.c. platinum structure existed.
  • concentrations of rhenium on the catalyst i.e. above about 50 atomic weight percent rhenium, the h.c.p. rhenium structure could be observed.
  • the platinum-rhenium catalyst samples used to investigate the crystal structure of the metals were prepared by heating the catalysts to elevated temperatures, for example 850 C., in either wet or dry hydrogen to reduce the metals to the metallic state.
  • f.c.c. platinum particles decreases as rhenium is added to platinum-alumina catalysts.
  • the f.c.c. platinum particle size as determined by electron diffraction investigations of catalyst samples reduced in hydrogen at a constant temperature, decreases as rhenium is added until about the equiatomic platinum-rhenium composition is reached.
  • the metal particle size is related to how easily the metal sinters; i.e., the smaller the particles, the less the metals have sintered.
  • the porous solid carrier or support which is employed in the preparation of the platinum-rhenium catalyst of the present invention can include a large number of materials upon which the catalytically active amounts of platinum and rhenium can be disposed.
  • the porous solid carrier can be, for example, silicon carbine, charcoal, or carbon.
  • the porous solid carrier is an inorganic oxide.
  • a high surface area inorganic oxide carrier is particularly preferred, e.g., an inorganic oxide having a surface area of 50-700 m. gm.
  • the carrier can be a natural or a synthetically produced inorganic oxide or combination of inorganic oxides.
  • Typical acidic inorganic oxide supports which can be used are the naturally occurring aluminum silicates, particularly when acide treated to increase the activity, and the synthetically-produced cracking supports, such as silica-alumina, silica-zirconia, silicaalumina-zirconia, silica-magnesia, silica-alumina-magnesia, and crystalline zeolitic aluminosilicates.
  • the synthetically-produced cracking supports such as silica-alumina, silica-zirconia, silicaalumina-zirconia, silica-magnesia, silica-alumina-magnesia, and crystalline zeolitic aluminosilicates.
  • reforming processes are preferably conducted in the presence of catalysts having low cracking activity, i.e., catalysts of limited acidity.
  • preferred carriers are inorganic oxides such as magnesia and alumina.
  • a particularly preferred catalytic carrier for purposes of this invention is alumina. Any of the forms of alumina suitable as a support for reforming catalysts can be used. Furthermore, alumina can be prepared by a variety of methods satisfactory for the purposes of this invention. The preparation of alumina for use in reforming catalysts is Well known in the prior art.
  • the novel reforming catalyst comprises the desired porous solid catalyst support and disposed thereon in intimate admixture catalytically active amounts of platinum and rhenium.
  • the catalyst proposed for use in the present invention preferably comprises platinum in amounts of from about 0.01 to 3 weight percent and more preferably from about 0.2 to 1 weight percent based on the finished catalyst. Concentrations of platinum below about 0.01 weight percent are too low for satisfactory reforming operations, while on the other hand concentrations of platinum above about 3 weight percent are generally unsatisfactory because they produce excessive cracking. Furthermore, due to the high cost of platinum, the amount which can be used is somewhat restricted.
  • the concentration of rhenium in the final catalyst composition is preferably from 0.01 to 5 weight percent and more preferably 0.1 to 2 Weight percent.
  • rhenium to platinum atom ratio be from about 0.2 to about 2.0. More particularly, it is preferred that the atom ratio of rhenium to platinum does not exceed one. Higher ratios (i.e., greater than one) of rhenium to platinum can be used but gene-rally no further significant improvement is obtained.
  • platinum and rhenium can be intimately associated with the porous solid carrier by suitable techniques such as by ion exchange, coprecipitation, etc.
  • the metals are usually associated with the porous solid carrier by impregnation.
  • one of the metals can be associated with the carrier by one procedure, e.g., ion-exchange, and the other metal associated with the carrier by another procedure, e.g., impregnation.
  • the metals are preferably associated with the carrier by impregnation.
  • the catalyst can be prepared either by coimpregnation of the two metals or by sequential impregnation.
  • the carrier material is impregnated with an aqueous solution of a decomposable compound of the metal in sutficient concentration to provide the desired quantity of metal in the finished catalyst; the resulting mixture is then heated to remove water.
  • Chloroplatinic acid is generally the preferred source of platinum.
  • platinum-containing compounds e.g., ammonium chloroplatinates and polyammineplatinum salts, can be used.
  • Rhenium compounds suitable for incorporation onto the carrier include, among others, perrhenic acid and ammonium or potassium perrhenates. It is contemplated in the present invention that incorporation of the metals with the carrier can be accomplished at any particular stage of the catalyst preparation. For example, if the metals are to be incorporated onto an alumina support, the incorporation may take place while the alumina is in the sol or gel form followed by precipitation of the alumina. Alternatively, a previously prepared alumina carrier can be impregnated with a water solution of the metal compounds. Regardless of the method of preparation of the supported platinum-rhenium catalyst it is desired that the platinum and rhenium be in intimate association with and dispersed throughout the porous solid catalyst support.
  • the resulting composite is usually dried by heating at a temperature of, for example, no greater than about 500 F. and preferably at about 200 F. to 400 F. Thereafter the composite can be calcined at an elevated temperature, e.g., up to about 1200 R, if desired.

  • this prereduction be accomplished at a temperature in the range of 600 F. to 1300 F., and preferably 600 to 1000 F.
  • Reforming with certain of the catalysts of the present invention initially produces an excessive amount of light hydrocarbon gases unless proper pretreatment or startup techniques are utilized.
  • the light hydrocarbon gases are produced as a result of the high hydrocracking activity or metal-cracking activity of the catalyst. It has been found that the hydrocracking activity can be diminished if the catalyst is sulfided prior to contact with naphtha.
  • the presulfiding can be done in situ or exsitu by passing a sulfur-containing gas, for example, H 8, through the catalyst bed. Other presulfiding treatments are known in the prior art. Also, it has been found that on startup a small amount of sulfur, for example H 3 or dimethyldisulfide added to the reforming zone effectively reduces the initial hydrocracking activity of the catalyst.
  • the exact form of sulfur used in the sulfiding process is not critical.
  • the sulfur can be introduced into the reaction zone in any convenient manner and at any convenient location. It can be contained in the liquid hydrocarbon feed, the hydrogen-rich gas, the recycle liquid stream or a recycle gas stream or any combination.
  • the addition of sulfur must be dis continued in order to realize the full benefits of the present invention such as decreased yield decline rate or improved stability.
  • the period of time required to reduce the initial hydrocracking activity will vary from several hours to several hundred hours depending on the amount of sulfur used, the severity of operation, and the platinum/ rhenium ratio.
  • the time required to reduce the initial hydrocracking activity will vary inversely to the amount of sulfur, the severity and the platinum/rhenium ratio.

  • suitable compounds containing oxyanions of sulfur e.g., SO 80 HSO or H80
  • the oxyanions of sulfur for purposes of the present invention can advantageously be present in the final catalyst in an amount from 0.05 to 2 weight percent and preferably from 0.1 to 1 weight percent.

As seen in FIG- URE 1 it was necessary to increase the temperature exorbitantly in order to maintain a 100-octane (F-l clear) product. Moreover, the yield of C liquid product having the desired octane rating decreased significantly with time as shown in FIGURE 2.
  • the catalyst containing platinum and rhenium displayed remarkable activity during the accelerated reforming test. From FIGURE 2 it can be seen that the naphtha feed was reformed to yield nearly 86 volume percent C product, having a 100-octane (F-l clear) rating, over almost the entire period of time of the test. From FIG- URE 1 it can be seen that the reforming temperature required to maintain a 100-octane (F1 clear) product increased only slightly as compared to the temperature increase in reforming with the platinum catalyst. It is apparent that rhenium improves the stability and activity of the platinum catalyst for reforming.
  • Example 2 reforming with the catalyst comprising platinum and rhenium initially produced high yields of light hydrocarbon gases, particularly methane and ethane, compared to reforming with the catalyst comprising platinum without rhenium. Approximately hours of reforming were necessary in order to bring the light gas production with the platinum-rhenium catalyst down to the level of light gas production of the platinum catalyst. A large exotherm was also observed during the initial period of reforming With the platinum-rhenium catalyst. As an indication of the high yield of light gases produced during this initial ibreak-in period, measurements after 43 hours of operation showed 25.7 weight percent of the feed being converted to light hydrocarbon gases. The data used to make the comparison shown in the graphs in FIGURES 1 and 2 were obtained only after the yield of light gases using the platinum-rhenium catalyst approximated that of the platinum catalyst, i.e., after the initial 170 hours of operation.
  • EXAMPLE 3 Two samples of catalyst were prepared and dried, as in Example 1, comprising 0.7 weight percent platinum and 0.7 weight percent rhenium supported on an alumina carrier. The samples were prereduced under various conditions and tested for the dehydrocyclization of n-heptane to aromatics.
  • One sample, referred to as catalyst A was contacted with hydrogen for 2 hours at 1000 F. and atmospheric pressure, and then for 2 hours at 900 F. and 20 p.s.i.g.
  • the other sample, referred to as catalyst B was contacted with hydrogen for 2 hours at 1000 F. and 250 p.s.i.g.
  • the hydrogen flow rate was 1.4 milliliters gas per minute per gram of catalyst.
  • the two catalyst samples were tested for the dehydrocyclization of n-heptane under reaction conditions including a temperature of 900 F. and a pressure of 250 p.s.i.g. Hydrogen was added TABLE I1 Catalyst Suliurinfeed, .m 200 p p 8. 3 0. 9
  • a catalyst comprising approximately 0.6 weight percent platinum and 0.46 weight percent rhenium was prepared by impregnating a previously impregnated platinum-alumina support with an aqueous solution containing perrhenic acid. The catalyst was dried overnight in nitrogen at 300 F. and then heated for 200 hours in air at 700 F. and 400 hours in air at 900 F. Thereafter the catalyst comprising alumina impregnated with platinum and rhenium was subjected for one-half hour to a hydrogen atmosphere at 700 F. to reduce the metals. The catalyst was used in a reforming process using the feed described in Example 2. Different levels of sulfur were introduced into the feed during the process. The reforming conditions included a pressure of 5 00' p.s.ig., an LHSV of 2, and a hydrogen to hydrocarbon mole ratio of about 8.
  • the feed initially contained less than 0.1 p.p.m. sulfur.
  • the F-l clear octane rating of the product produced during reforming was 97 with the average catalyst temperature being 920 F.
  • 50 p.p.m. sulfur was introduced into the feed.
  • the product octane number dropped to 91 and the average catalyst temperature increased to 929 P.
  • the product octane number dropped to 86 and the average catalyst tempertaure increased to 935 F.
  • the C liquid volume yield remained approximately the same in all instances, i.e. at about 84 to 85 volume percent.
  • the results are tabulated in Table III.
  • EXAMPLE 5 Cir of 5.3.
  • the temperature was controlled throughout the reforming process to produce a F-l clear octane number product,
  • the feed initially contained less than 0.1 p.p.m. sulfur.
  • the starting temperature of the reforming process was about 940 F.
  • the catalyst exhibited a low fouling rate; for example, from about 200 hours to 845 hours, the fouling rate was about 0.024 F. per hour.
  • 10 p.p.m. sulfur were added to the feed.
  • the temperature required to make 100 F-l clear octane gasoline increased 20 degrees, that is, the catalyst became 20 degrees less active as a result of sulfur addition.
  • a process for reforming a naphtha fraction containing less than about 10 p.p.m. sulfur which comprises subjecting said fraction to contact at reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with a catalyst comprising an alumina support having disposed thereon in intimate admixture 0.01 to 3 weight percent platinum and 0.01 to 5 weight percent rhenium.
  • a process for reforming a naphtha fraction containing less than about 10 p.p.m. sulfur which comprises subjecting said fraction to contact at reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with a catalyst comprising an alumina support having disposed thereon in intimate admixture 0.01 to 3 weight percent platinum and 0.01 to 5 weight percent rhenium, and excluding more than about 10 p.p.m. sulfur from the feed throughout the on-stream period of contact of said catalyst with the feed, except during the initial startup period with said catalyst which is substantially free of sulfur.
  • a reforming process comprising contacting a naphtha feedstock containing less than about 10 p.p.m. sulfur at reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with a reforming catalyst, comprising a dehydrogenation promoting metal component distributed throughout a porous solid catalyst carrier, and recovering a C gasoline fraction of improved octane rating, the improvement which comprises using as the catalyst an aluminacontaining carrier containing from 0.01 to 3 weight percent platinum promoted with an effective amount, less than 5 weight percent, of rhenium sufficient to measurably increase the stability of said catalyst when sulfur is excluded from the feedstock.
  • a process for reforming a naphtha fraction containing less than about 10 p.p.m. sulfur which comprises subjecting said fraction to contact at reforming conditions, including a temperature in the range from 700 to 1050 F. and a pressure from 50 to 700 p.s.i.g. and in the presence of at least 0.5 mole of hydrogen per mole of feed, with a catalyst comprising an alumina support having disposed thereon in intimate admixture from 0.2 to 1.0 weight percent platinum and at least 0.2 weight percent rhenium, the weight ratio of rhenium to platinum not exceeding 1.0.
