Abstract:
A process for slurry hydrocracking catalyst recovery is described. In one embodiment the process includes separating effluent from a slurry hydrocracking zone into a first portion comprising solvent and clarified pitch and a second portion comprising pitch and catalyst. The second portion is contacted with an acid to leach the catalyst out of the pitch forming an aqueous solution and pitch residue. The aqueous solution is contacted with an anion to form an insoluble salt which is the catalyst.
Abstract:
Methods (10, 110, 210) of hydrocracking hydrocarbon streams (12, 112, 212) are provided that employ substantially liquid-phase continuous hydroprocessing conditions. In one aspect, the method includes a separate hydrotreating and hydrocracking system where the hydrocracking zone (24) is a substantially liquid-phase continuous system. In another aspect, the method includes a two stage hydrocracking system where one or both of the hydrocracking zones (113, 124) (213, 224) are a substantially liquid-phase continuous reaction system.
