Definitions

  • the invention provides a new route for the production of specialty chemicals and specification grade jet and diesel fuel from highly aromatic materials, for example liquids derived from coal hydrogenation processes or petroleum reformates. It is also known that aromatic constituents are included in liquids from coal pyrolysis, some shale oils and in liquids derived from conversion of oxygenates and hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts. Aromatics are considered excellent gasoline components because of their high octane number, however, they are considered too "smoky" for commercial jet fuel and give a low cetane number for diesel fuels. Further, aromatics emission from unburnt and combusted fuel has become an important issue environmentally with recent and indicated government legislation for the reduction of the aromatics content of gasoline and diesel fuels.
  • a reductive alkylation (hydroalkylation) process in which a monocycloalkyl aromatic hydrocarbon or a substituted monocycloalkyl aromatic hydrocarbon is prepared by contacting, respectively, an aromatic hydrocarbon or alkyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbon with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst comprising ruthenium and nickel supported on zeolite beta.
  • the catalyst can also include a rare-earth metal or tungsten.
  • the hydroalkylation occurs through the partial hydrogenation of the aromatic hydrocarbon to a cycloalkene.
  • the cycloalkene then reacts with the aromatic hydrocarbon or alkyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbon to obtain the desired monocycloalkyl aromatic hydrocarbon or substituted monocycloalkyl aromatic hydrocarbon.
  • the present invention provides a catalyst for hydroalkylating an aromatic hydrocarbon, the catalyst comprising a molecular sieve material having an acid function, a hydrogenation component and a shape selective function wherein the molecular sieve material has a pore size that is capable of accommodating molecules of the products to be produced and excluding molecules of reactants that are too large.
  • the present invention provides a process for hydroalkylating an aromatic hydrocarbon, the process comprising contacting an aromatic hydrocarbon with hydrogen in the presence of the catalyst.
  • the specific size constraints of different molecular sieve framework structures limit the reactants and the size of product molecules through product selectivity and active site selectivity.
  • the controlling function is the rate of diffusion of product away from the reactive sites, through the pores and out of the crystallite.
  • Reactant selectivity is based on the exclusion of a potential reactant by its size and the size of the pore.
  • Product shape is controlled by the volume available at the active site which precludes the formation of too bulky intermediates at the site.
  • molecular sieve is all inclusive in that it embraces all materials that exhibit shape selectivity, regardless of composition or degree of crystallinity.
  • the molecular sieve characteristic of the material exists where the framework structure creates a porous regular array of apertures.
  • the apertures are of a size as to be able to take up molecules into their porous structure whilst rejecting others on the basis of their larger effective molecular dimensions.
  • zeolites are considered the primary molecular sieves [zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicates which are three dimensional structures arising from a framework of [SiO 4 ] 4- and [AlO 4 ] 5- coordinated polyhedra linked by their corner atoms] and are of major importance in the invention, other non-aluminosilicate materials, such as some carbons and silicas, have molecular sieve properties. Also an ever-increasing number of crystalline porous substances are being synthesised containing co-ordination polyhedra of elements other than just silicon or aluminium. Candidate elements for such isomorphous replacement are for example 6a, and B, close to A1 in Group III of the Periodic Table and Ge, close to Si in Group IV.
  • MeAPOs metal-organic phosphide
  • framework structures incorporating some metals from Groups III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII of the Periodic Table of Elements. Studies have shown that some of these materials have high catalytic activity.
  • MLS molecularly engineered layer structures
  • PILC pillared interlayered clays
  • Molecular sieves with an ion exchange capacity have an increased pore size control ability in that the exchange of ions may increase or reduce the pore dimensions to sizes comparable to the dimension of the reactant molecules and/or the potential product.
  • ion exchanges can be used to place cations into specific framework sites so as to create active sites to which reactant molecules can be attracted thus promoting the bond distortion and rupture essential to molecular rearrangements.
  • Another feature of ion exchange is that it provides a route for the introduction of metal cations which can subsequently be reduced to catalytically active metal particles. This introduces a bifunctional nature to the molecular sieve.
  • This Br ⁇ nsted acid site arises from the creation of "hydroxyls" within the pore structure which are usually formed by ammonium exchange followed by a calcination step.
  • these "protonated” species can be made by direct exchange with mineral acids.
  • the hydroxyls are protons associated with negatively charged framework oxygen linked into alumina tetrahedra creating the Br ⁇ nsted sites.
  • These protons have great mobility particularly above 200°C, and at 550°C they lose water forming Lewis acid sites.
  • the Lewis sites in turn are unstable, especially in the presence of water vapour and an annealing process occurs with the ejection of Al from the. framework which becomes more stable (dealumination).
  • the size exclusion and steric inhibition together with the intermolecular forces between the constituents of the molecular sieve and the sorbate molecules offer opportunities for unique selectivities based on competitive sorption properties of various molecular sieves.
  • Variables such as the silica to alumina ratio, the nature of the cation species and the geometry of the channels (unidimensional, multi-dimensional or interconnecting with super cages) are important considerations for the catalyst. They also contribute to catalyst's stability, reduce its coking propensity and increase its amenability to regeneration.
  • the process feed or starting material for conversion to specialty chemicals and/or jet and diesel fuel boiling range products or blendstock is an aromatic or aromatic containing hydrocarbon, preferably containing benzene and/or an alkyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbon.
