Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of metal cation-exchangeable layered clays in organic reactions which are catalyzed by protons in which intercalated water is not a stoichiometric reactant. Such organic reactions include the production of esters by the reaction of an olefin or an olefin oxide with a carboxylic acid, the production of ethers by reaction of an alcohol with an olefin or an olefin oxide, the production of ethers by the reaction of a primary or secondary aliphatic alcohol or an olefin oxide, the production of bis-sec-alkyl ethers from alkenes, the production of alkyl aromatic compounds by the reaction of an aromatic hydrocarbon with an olefin or alcohol and the production of alcohols by the hydration of olefins.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the production of alkylaromatic hydrocarbons by the HF catalyzed reaction of an aromatic hydrocarbon with a C.sub.8 -plus acyclic olefin. A portion of the HF used as catalyst is regenerated by passage into a stripping column which has a primary function of stripping dissolved HF out of a hydrocarbonaceous mixture produced in the alkylation zone. This eliminates the requirement for a separate HF regeneration column and the costs associated with this column.
Abstract:
Process of preparing .beta.-isopropylnaphthalene substantially free of corresponding .alpha.-isomer, in yields amounting to 90% and more by a continuous two-stage process comprising (1) alkylating naphthalene with propylene at a temperature of about 150.degree.-280.degree. C. under a pressure of 5 to 30 atm in the presence of a phosphoric acid catalyst supported on a SiO.sub.2 carrier and using a mol ratio of 1/5 to 1/20 mol propylene to 1 mol naphthalene to isopropylate 45 to 65% of the naphthalene and form a mixture of .alpha.- and .beta.-isopropylnaphthalene and then without separating off the unreacted naphthalene, (2) heating the isomeric mixture from stage (1) in the presence of a phosphoric acid catalyst supported on SiO.sub.2, to a temperature of 180.degree.-280.degree. C. under an inert gas pressure of 5 to 30 atm until no further .beta.-isopropylnaphthalene is formed and recovering said .beta.-isopropylnaphthalene from the isomerization mixture.
Abstract:
Cumene is prepared by alkylation of benzene with propylene in the presence of a solid phosphoric acid catalyst in a continuous process by delivering liquid benzene and liquid propylene in a molar ratio lower than 6:1, to a liquid reaction medium consisting essentially of benzene and cumene and containing the catalyst, while maintaining the temperature and composition of said medium substantially uniform in each point, operating at 170.degree.-280.degree. C. and in the liquid phase, and with a contact time higher than about 0.4 hours, expressed as the ratio between volume of catalyst and hourly volume of reagents fed in.
Abstract:
Entrained phosphoric acid contained in isopropylbenzene alkylate from a solid phosphoric acid-catalyzed process wherein benzene is alkylated with propylene is neutralized and rendered soluble in the alkylate by the addition to the alkylate stream of a primary amine.
Abstract:
Dialkylation process for the manufacture of synthetic oils comprising contacting olefin with alkylbenzene in the presence of a borontrifluoride carboxylic acid complex.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for aralkylation of alkylbenzenes wherein an alkylbenzene or alkylbenzenes containing in the substituent alkyl group or groups from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in total is aralkylated with at least one styrene selected from the group consisting of styrene, vinyltoluenes and .alpha.-methylstyrene which comprises carrying out the reaction by continuously feeding to a catalyst layer the above-mentioned alkylbenzene or alkylbenzenes and styrene sources in liquid phase at a temperature from 100.degree. C. to 200.degree. C., said catalyst layer being filled with synthetic silica-alumina containing from 20% by weight to 50% by weight alumina that has been calcined at a temperature in the range from 450.degree. C. to 600.degree. C.
Abstract:
Deactivated or partially deactivated hydrocarbon conversion catalysts comprising (a) one or more Lewis acids selected from the group consisting of the fluorides, chlorides and bromides of boron(III), titanium(IV), zirconium(IV), hafnium(IV), phosphorus(V), arsenic(V), tantalum(V), niobium(V) and mixtures thereof and (b) a strong Bronsted acid, may be recovered by contacting said catalysts with hydrogen at elevated temperatures and pressures. The preferred Lewis acid is an acidic halide, preferably tantalum pentafluoride, niobium pentafluoride or mixtures thereof. The preferred Bronsted acid is a hydrogen halide, preferably hydrogen fluoride.
Abstract:
An alkylation reaction chamber for contacting acid catalysts with alkylation reactants. A heat exchanger, a plurality of baffles and a plurality of spray nozzle assemblies are disposed within a vertically positioned, elongated vessel. Acid catalyst flows upward in serpentine fashion through the vessel and alkylation reactants are sprayed into the catalyst at a plurality of elevations within the vessel. Exothermic heat of reaction is removed by the heat exchanger.
