Abstract:
A process for processing mixed plastics comprising simultaneous pyrolysis and dechlorination of the mixed plastics, the process comprising contacting the mixed plastics with a zeolitic catalyst in a pyrolysis unit to produce a hydrocarbon product comprising a gas phase and a liquid phase; and separating the hydrocarbon product into a hydrocarbon gas stream and a hydrocarbon liquid stream, wherein the hydrocarbon gas stream comprises at least a portion of the gas phase of the hydrocarbon product, wherein the hydrocarbon liquid stream comprises at least a portion of the liquid phase of the hydrocarbon product, wherein the hydrocarbon liquid stream comprises one or more chloride compounds in an amount of less than about 100 ppmw chloride, based on the total weight of the hydrocarbon liquid stream, and wherein the hydrocarbon liquid stream is characterized by a viscosity of less than about 400 cP at a temperature of 300° C.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing a hydrocracking catalyst, comprising (i) contacting a shaped body comprising a zeolite and a binder with an aqueous solution of a hydrogenation metal compound which is a complex or a salt of a hydrogenation metal to deposit the hydrogenation metal onto the shaped body, wherein the aqueous solution comprises an ammonium salt and (ii) calcining the shaped body obtained by step (i).
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for converting an alkyl halide to an olefin. The method includes contacting a silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO) catalyst with a feed that includes an alkyl halide under reaction conditions sufficient to produce an olefin hydrocarbon product that includes C2 to C4 olefins. The SAPO catalyst has bimodal acidity designated as weak acid sites and strong acid sites. The weak acid concentration is less than 0.55 mmol/g-cat and the total acid concentration is less than 1.5 mmol/g-cat.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for converting an alkyl halide to an olefin. The method can include contacting a zeolite catalyst having a chemical formula of My/nH(x-y)AlxSi(96-x)O192, where M is a metal cation having a valence of n under reaction conditions sufficient to produce an olefin hydrocarbon product comprising C2 to C4 olefins. M can include cations of metals from Groups IA, IIA, IIIA. IVB, VB, VIB VIIB, IB, IIB, IIIA or IVA, or any combination of metal cations thereof and y is 0.4≦y≦5.0.
