Abstract:
A process for the low pressure hydrogenation of aromatic hydrocarbons in the presence of sulfur employing a fluorided platinum-alumina catalyst and carbon monoxide as a conversion reaction moderator. By employing a fluorided platinum-alumina catalyst and the moderator carbon monoxide, aromatic hydrocarbon saturation is accomplished while simultaneously inhibiting concurrent hydrocracking reactions.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a hydrocarbon conversion catalyst by providing a composite composed of alumina having associated therewith a Group VIB, VIIB or VIII metal or compound and contacting the composite with an activator system comprising hydrogen and sulfuryl fluoride or thionyl fluoride. The catalysts so prepared are useful in such hydrocarbon conversion processes as isomerization, hydrocracking, reforming, alkylation, disproportionation, polymerization and hydrogenation.
Abstract:
ALKYLCYCLOPENTANES AND GASOLINE OR NAPTHA FRACTIONS CONTAINING THE SAME ARE DEHYDROISOMERIZED TO AROMATIC COMPOUNDS BY CONTACTING WITH A FLUORIDED GROUP VII-B OR VIII METAL-ALUMINA CATALYST AND A CARBON OXIDE AS A CONVERSION REACTION MODERATOR. BY EMPLOYING A FLUORIDED METAL-ALUMINA CATALYST AND A CARBON OXIDE MODERATOR, SUCH AS CARBON MONOXIDE OR CARBON DIOXIDE, ALKYLCYCLOPENTANES ARE SELECTIVELY CONVERTED TO AROMATICS AND GASOLINE OR NAPTHA FRACTIONS CONTAINING THE SAME ARE UPGRADED.
Abstract:
A METHOD FOR PREPARING A HYDROCARBON CONVERSION CATALYST BY PROVIDING A COMPOSITE COMPOSED OF ALUMINA HAVING ASSOCIATED THEREWITH A GROUP VI-B OR VIII METAL OR COMPOUND AND CONTACTING THE COMPOSITE WITH AN ACTIVATOR SYSTEM COMPRISING OXYGEN AND AN ORGANIC FLUORIDE COMPOUND HAVING FROM 2 TO 16 CARBON ATOMS. THE CATALYST SO PREPARED IS USEFUL IN HYDROCARBON CONVERSION PROCESSES AS ISOMERIZATION, HYDROCRACKING, REFORMING, DEHYDROGENATION, DISPROPORTIONATION AND POLYMERIZATION.
Abstract:
Alkylaromatic hydrocarbons are dealkylated with steam, preferably at 900* -1,200*F., in the presence of, as catalyst, an activated metal screen containing a major portion of nickel. In preferred operation, toluene is converted to benzene by dealkylating at 900*-1200*F over inconel metal mesh which has been activated typically by heating to 700*-1,400*F in air for 424 hours.
Abstract:
A METHOD FOR PREPARING A HYDROCARBON CONVERSION CATALYST COMPOSED OF ALUMINA AND CHLORINE OR BROMINE BY CONTACTING ALUMINA WITH AN ACTIVATOR SYSTEM COMPRISING CHLORINE OR BROMINE AND AN INORGANIC SULFUR COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP HYDROGEN SULFIDE AND COMPOUNDS CORRESPONDING TO THE FORMULA SMX2. THE CATALYST MAY ADDITIONALLY INCLUDE A METAL SUCH AS PLATINUM, PALLADIUM, RUTHENIUM OR RHODIUM. THE CATALYSTS SO PREPARED ARE USEFUL IN SUCH HYDROCARBON CONVERSION PROCESSES AS ISOMERIZATION, CRACKING, HYDROCRACKING, REFORMING, ALKYLATION, DEHYDROGENATION, DISPROPORTIONATION AND POLYMERIZATION.
Abstract:
PARAFFIN HYDROCARBONS ARE SELECTIVELY HYDROCRACKED AND ISOMERIZED UNDER CONTROLLED CONVERSION CONDITIONS BY CONTACTING THE HYDROCARBON WITH HYDROGEN, A FLUORIDED GROUP VII-B OR VIII METAL-ALUMINA CATALYST AND WATER OR WATER PRECURSORS AS A CONVERSION REACTION MODERATOR. BY EMPLOYING A FLUORIDED METAL-ALUMINA CATALYST AND WATER OR WATER PRECURSOR MODERATOR, PARAFFIN HYDROCARBONS ARE SELECTIVELY HYDROCRACKED AND ISOMERIZED IN A MANNER SUCH THAT THE SELECTIVELY, ACTIVITY AND PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION IS CONTROLLED OVER THE COURSE OF THE CONVERION REACTION.
