Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A range of lubricating oils is produced by splitting a petroleum fraction boiling above 350C into light and heavy fractions. preferably at a cut point of 400500C treating the light fraction or fractions by catalytic dewaxing and solvent extraction and treating the heavy fraction or fractions by catalytic hydrogenation and solvent dewaxing.
  • Part of the heavy fraction may be solvent extracted and solvent dew-axed, and part solvent dewaxed only.
  • the catalytic dejwaxing process uses a mordenite catalyst and the catalytic hydrogenation may produce either high or super-high oils.
  • a process for the production of a range of lubricating oils comprises separating a petroleum fraction boiling above 350C into at least one lighter fraction and at least one heavier fraction. subjecting some or all of the lighter fraction or fractions to a hydro-catalytic dewaxing process and a solvent extraction process for the removal of aromatics and subjecting some or all of the heavier fraction or fractions to a hydrocatalytic viscosity index improvement process and a solvent dewaxing process.
  • lubricating oil as used in this specification includes lubricating oils for any use and also speci ality oils boiling within the lubricating oil boiling range. e.g.. transformer oils.
  • a particular feature of the present invention is that it allows the production of a wide range of oils from light spindle oils to heavy automative oils derived from bright stocks.
  • the cut point between the lighter and heavier fraction or fractions is in the range 450 to 500C.
  • the number of products obtained from the lighter fraction may conveniently be from 2 to 4. for example spindle oils and the two lightest grades of automotive lubricating oils.
  • the lighter fraction or fractions are treated. as indicated above. by the combination of hydrocatalytic dewaxing and solvent extraction to remove aromatics.
  • the processes may be used in either order. but. preferably. the hydro-catalytic dewaxing is first.
  • the sequence may treat a single wider boiling range fraction with subsequent distillation to give the required products. or may treat a series of fractions in blocked operation. the latter being preferred.
  • the preferred hydro-catalytic dewaxing process comprises passing the lighter fraction or fractions over a catalyst comprising one or more hydrogenating components selected from Groups Vla and Vlll of the Periodic Table incorporated with a crystalline mordenite of reduced alkali metal content together with hydrogen at a temperature of from 250 500C and a pressure of from 7 to 200 bars gauge. It may follow the general procedure described and claimed in our UK Pat. Nos.
  • a particular feature and advantage of hydro-catalytic dewaxing is its ability of the process to dewax to low pour points of from -50 to l8C with the present lighter fractions. which normally have pour points of from to C.
  • Such low pour points cannot be obtained by solvent dewaxing except at exorbitant cost and such low pour points have hitherto been obtained by urea dewaxing. itself a relatively expensive process.
  • the wax in these lighter fractions- is crystalline or paraffmie wax. c.g.. n-paraffins or slightly branched paraffins and it is selectively cracked to lower boiling paraffins. particularly C and C paraffins.
  • the selective breakdown of the paraffin wax hydrocarbons. is due to the nature of the mordenite based catalyst which promotes the selective attack of these hydrocarbonsbut not of the other hydrocarbons present in the feedstock.
  • Suitable process conditions for the catalytic dewaxing include. besides a temperature within the range 250 500C and a pressure within the range 7 200 bars gauge as indicated above. a space velocity between 0.1 20.0'v/v/hr. and a gas rateof 90 3.600
  • Preferred catalytic dewaxing conditions are:
  • crystalline mordenite of reduced alkali metal content means. preferably. a mordenite with an alkali metal content of less than 3% wt..
  • the deficiency of alkali metal-cations can be made up with other metal cations for example Group 11 metal cations. particularly magnesium or rare earth metal cations.
  • the mordenite is a decationised mordenite" which means a mordenite havinga deficiency of metal cations.
  • hydrogen mordenite since it is assumed that when metal cations are removed they are replaced by hydrogen ions. However. since it is not possible to detect the presence of hydrogen ions.in zeolites. the precise structure remains in doubt. A cation deficiency can. on the other hand. be readily measured by analysis of the metallic elements present inthe zeolite.
  • the mordenite may be treated with a mineral acid. for example hydrochloric'or sulphuric acid. in order directly to decationise the mordenite.
  • a combination of acid treatment and ammonium treatment-can also be used.
  • the decationised mordenite used in'the present invention has a higher than normal silicazalumina ratio of at least 14:1. ln specific examples ratios of as high as :1 have been obtained and apraetical upper limit may thus be :1. Particularly preferred silica-alumina ratios are-in the range 14:1 to 50:1.
  • the mordenite used in the present invention having a higher than normal silicazalumina ratio is obtained by treatment of a metal cation-containing mordenite, particularly sodium morde'nite, with a strong acid.
  • a metal cation-containing mordenite particularly sodium morde'nite
  • a strong acid for example sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, offrom 5 509/ wt strength and preferably from to wtstrength.
  • a single treatment or two or more successive treatments may be given with acids of the strengths stated above.
  • a convenient method of treatment is to treat the mordenite with acid under reflux for a period of 2 12 hours.
  • the residual metal cation content for example the sodium cation content, should be less than 3% wt of the mordenite and prefera bly less than 1.5% wt of the mordenite.
  • mordenites with higher than normal silica/alumina ratios retain the crystal structure of mordenite and are not significantly altered in terms of physical strength. Stability or crystallinity.
  • the hydrogenating component is preferably a platinum group metal, particularly platinum or palladium, and it is preferably added by ion-exchange.
  • the amount of the platinum group metal is preferably within the range 0.01 to 10% wt., particularly 0.1 to 571 wt;
  • iron group metals, particularly nickel also give useful results and they may be used in amounts similar to the platinum group metals.
  • Mixtures of certain'Gr'oup V1 and V111 metals and compounds may also. be used, e.g. cobalt and molybdenum.
  • the product from the dewaxing may be distilled to remove light ends boiling below the boiling point of the fecdstockfthese being, as previously indicated, mostly C and C paraffins which are useful as petrochemical fe'edstocks or LPG.
  • the product from the dewaxing is then treated with a selective solvent to remove aromatics.
  • the dewaxing reduces the viscosity index, and irrespective of whether the dewaxing precedes the solvent extraction or not, some V1 improvement will usually be necessary to restore at least a part of this VI loss and sometimes to increase it aboveits original level.
  • the product Vlis required will normally be within the range 0 to 100, and solvent extraction can produce such Vl's efficiency and economically from such feedstocks.
  • the solvent may be sulphur dioxide/benzene, phenol, glycol, or, preferably, furfural and it may be used in a fixed or rotatingdisc contactor with from 1 to 20 theo- 150C maximum Column top temperature Column base Conventional steps of separation of the extract and raffinate and recovery and recycle of solvent may be employed.
  • the heavier fraction or fractions boiling above the cut point may contain residue possibly together with one or more heavier distillates.
  • This portion of the original feedstock is, as previously indicated, treated by the combination of hydrocatalytic viscosity index improvement and solvent dewaxing.
  • the steps may be used in either order, with, preferably, the viscosity index improvement step first.
  • the feedstock may be treated in bulk with subsequent distillation into product fractions or, preferably, separated first into fractions which are passed through the treatment stages in blocked operation. Preferably it is separated into at least two fractions, one being a vacuum distillate and the other a vacuum residue, parts of which may, if desired, be subsequently reblended.
  • the vacuum residue portion will contain asphaltenes and possibly organo-metallic compounds, and may, therefore, be de-asphalted prior tothe hydro-catalytic treatment step.
  • the de-asphalting solvent may be a low-boiling n-paraffin, particularly propane, which may be used at 20 100C, preferably 40 80C, 5 50 bars gauge, preferably 25 35 bars gauge, and solvent ratios by volume of 1 20:1 preferably 5 13:1.
  • the preferred hydrocatalytic viscosity index improvement step comprises passing the heavier fraction or fractions over a catalyst comprising one or more hydrogenating components selected from Groups Vla and V111 of the Periodic Table on a refractory oxide support together with hydrogen at a temperature of from 340 460C and a pressure of from 210 bars gauge.
  • the hydro-catalytic viscosity index improvement step may be used to give products with moderate viscosity index, e.g., or high viscosity index, e.g., 101 and a particular advantage of its use is this flexibility.
  • High V1 oils are particularly useful not only for certain specialised uses but also in reducing or eliminating the need for viscosity index improvers in multigrade oils, and solvent extractions cannot easily or economically produce such high V1 oils.
  • V1 improvement two general processes are recognised. These are (i) a relatively mild treatment to give a moderate V1 improvement, e.g., 75 to 100 V1 after dewaxing with minimum breakdown and decrease in viscosity. Increase in V1 of the product to bring it up to multigradc oil requirements, if desired, can be achieved by the use of known polymeric V1 improvers (ii) a more severe treatment with extensive breakdown and decrease in viscosity but giving a larger V1 improve ment. e.g., greater than 100V] after dewaxing. A larger amount of lower boiling gas oil, kerosene and gasoline byproducts is obtained with the more severe treatment.

  • viscosity index as used in this specification means that measured by ASTM D2270/64.
  • the product from the hydrocatalytic viscosity index improvement step is then solvent dewaxed.
