Abstract:
In the conversion of coal to gaseous and liquid products, the heat value of the coal is more completely retained by the products through the selective high efficiency conversion of coal to a low ratio syngas utilizing a portion of the Fischer-Tropsch generated heat recovered as steam, conversion of the low ratio syngas with a water gas shift F-T catalyst to a product comprising C.sub.1 to C.sub.50 hydrocarbons and oxygenates, converting the F-T product to premium gas and increased liquid fuels comprising gasoline and distillate with a special zeolite catalyst and recovering the SNG and LPG products of the selective steps to provide an improved product slate. A portion of the produced fuel gas is used in lieu of coal to provide some of the heat energy requirements of the combination process.
Abstract:
A method for supressing carburetor deposit formation of motor fuels containing untreated cat cracked gasoline by blending adsorbent-treated cat cracked gasoline into the motor fuel. Up to about 50 percent by weight of the total composition is adsorbent-treated cat cracked gasoline, but preferably from about 5 to about 25 percent by weight of the total composition is adsorbent-treated cat cracked gasoline. In a preferred embodiment a standard reference fuel capable of providing a predetermined level of carburetor deposit formation is provided by the addition of either adsorbent-treated cat cracked gasoline, untreated cat cracked gasoline, or aromatic amines to a base fuel.
Abstract:
A process for the production of a gasoline having a low benzene content. A catalytic reformate and a stripped liquid produced in the gas concentration unit of an FCC unit are fractionated in a dehexanizer to concentrate the benzene and C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 olefins these two streams contain into a single stream. This stream is passed into an alkylation zone wherein at least some of the benzene is alkylated with the olefins. The alkylation zone effluent is stripped and recombined with C.sub.7 -plus dehexanizer bottoms stream to form a gasoline product stream.
Abstract:
An intentionally produced low octane value alkylate is reformed in the presence of steam, and in the absence of added hydrogen, to produce a high octane value, olefinic reformate containing aromatics. The reformate, upon fractionation to remove hydrogen and methane and C.sub.3 and C.sub.4 hydrocarbons, which can be recycled, is subjected to solvent extraction to produce a raffinate which can be used as high octane gasoline and which contains olefins, and an extract which, upon fractionation to remove xylenes therefrom as usable product, and which now contains benzene and toluene, can be combined with said raffinate.
Abstract:
Benzene, which is toxic and carcinogenic, is removed from a gasoline or gasoline precursor stream, such as a mixture of a reformate and a naphtha produced in a fluidized catalytic cracking unit, in a process which includes fractionating the precursor stream into a light hydrocarbon stream containing the benzene and a heavy hydrocarbon stream. The light hydrocarbon stream is then admixed with an olefinic hydrocarbon, passed through an alkylation zone and then remixed with the heavy hydrocarbon stream.
Abstract:
A method for upgrading poor quality olefinic gasoline by conversion thereof in the presence of carbon hydrogen-contributing fragments such as methanol and a crystalline zeolite catalyst composition of desired selectivity characteristics is described.
Abstract:
The product of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis is separated to recover a product boiling above about 400.degree. F which is thereafter processed over a selective crystalline zeolite under hydrodewaxing conditions promoting the formation of fuel oil and gasoline products. Improving start up and operation of the process in the presence of a ZSM5 crystalline zeolite is described.
Abstract:
Upgrading of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis product is obtained by separating a 560.degree. F minus hydrocarbon fraction from gaseous C.sub.5 rich material and a water phase comprising oxygenates. Alcohols may be recovered from the water phase for conversion to gasoline boiling components. C.sub.5 rich material is converted to gasoline boiling material with a ZSM-5 crystalline zeolite and upgrading of the 560.degree. F minus hydrocarbon fraction is accomplished with a ZSM-5 crystalline zeolite catalyst.
Abstract:
A liquid phase alkylation process for production of alkylate useful as motor fuel, wherein low molecular weight isoparaffin hydrocarbons are alkylated with olefin hydrocarbons in the presence of a catalyst, comprising a mixture of a major portion of sulfuric acid (H.sub.2 SO.sub.4) with a minor portion of trifluoromethane sulfonic acid (CF.sub.3 SO.sub.3 H) which may contain about 0-3 weight percent water and about 0-10 weight percent acid oils.
Abstract:
A lower alcohol and/or ether feed is selectively converted to a mixture of light olefins, including ethylene and propylene, by catalytic contact of the feed, for example methanol or dimethyl ether, at subatmospheric partial pressure, with certain crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite catalysts exemplified by HZSM-5.
