摘要:
A process for the regeneration of a sulfur containing catalysts, wherein the catalyst is stripped of sulfur before the oxychlorination treatment of the regeneration process, typically before the catalyst is sent to the regeneration zone. The process is particularly useful for catalyst employed in hydrocarbon conversions such as dehydrogenation reactions, particularly those which comprise the injection of sulfur and/or at least one sulfur compound before or simultaneously to the introduction of the charge into the first reaction zone.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for decreasing the emissions of chlorine-containing species from a process for contacting catalyst particles with a recycle stream containing chlorine-containing species. Prior to contacting the catalyst particles with the recycle gas, an effluent stream that contains chlorine-containing species contacts the catalyst particles at sorption conditions. The catalyst particles sorb the chlorine-containing species from the effluent stream. This method captures and returns to the process the chlorine-containing species that would be lost from the process and that would need to be replaced by the injection of make-up chlorine-containing species. This method results in a significant savings in capital and operating costs of the process. This method is adaptable to many processes for the catalytic conversion of hydrocarbons in which deactivated catalyst particles are regenerated.
摘要:
The invention is directed a process for regenerating deactivated reforming catalysts comprising at least one Group VIII metal on zeolite L, preferably wherein the catalysts are extruded using a binder material such as alumina or silica. The process includes: a) coke burn at severe conditions to improve the accessibility of the Group VIII catalytic metal particles by transporting them to the outside of the zeolite microchannels; b) catalytic metal redispersion by wet oxychlorination with elemental chlorine and oxygen; c) stripping with a gas stream comprising oxygen and water at low pressure to remove as much residual chlorine as possible; and d) reduction of catalytic metals with hydrogen at low pressure. The process is particularly effective for recovering activity of catalysts which have been severely deactivated.

The invention concerns a regeneration process and the corresponding apparatus for regeneration of a reforming catalyst, the reforming operation being carried out in at least two reactors in series, through which the catalyst and the charge successively flow, the pressure in the first reactor through which the catalyst and the charge pass being under a pressure of between 3 and 8 bars.The regeneration process is characterized in that the exhausted catalyst successively meets a first radial moving bed combustion zone 101, a second radial moving bed combustion zone 105, an axial oxychlorination moving bed zone 107 and an axial calcination moving bed zone 116, and that in the combustion zones the catalyst is treated under a pressure substantially equal to that which obtains in said first reactor, the burning gases are discharged from the second burning zone and are passed to a washing loop after having been previously mixed with the gases withdrawn from the oxychlorination zone and the calcination zone, that in the oxychlorination zone the catalyst is treated in co-flow relationship by a mixture of a gas from the calcination zone and a gas based on a chlorinated compound, and that in the calcination zone the catalyst is treated in counter-flow relationship by at least a part of the gases from the washing loop.

C., (b) subjected to double washing and (c) dried to reduce the water content of the gas to less than 2,500 ppm.

Continuous process for converting hydrocarbons in the presence of a granular catalyst including a metal from group VI a, VII a or VIII, deposited on a carrier, comprising passing a charge of hydrocarbons with hydrogen through a series of at least two vertical catalytic zones in which the catalyst bed moves progressively downwardly, withdrawing progressively the catalyst from the bottom of the last catalytic zone, and reintroducing the same, after regeneration, at the top of the first catalytic zone.

Process for regenerating hydrocarbon conversion catalysts, particularly for reforming and isomerization, which comprises superhalogenating the deactivated catalysts, burning the accumulated coke in a controlled manner preferably in a series of steps at different temperatures and oxygen percentages with an oxygen containing gas stream; treating the combusted catalyst with a further gas stream containing oxygen and a halogen (preferably chlorine), and thereafter reducing the catalyst with hydrogen in the practical absence of oxygen.
摘要:
Supported iridium-containing hydrocarbon conversion catalysts which are at least partially deactivated due to the deposition of carbonaceous residues thereon during contact with hydrocarbons are regenerated by contacting the residue-containing catalyst, prior to contact with oxygen at elevated temperature, with a chlorine-containing reagent to increase the catalyst chlorine content to a level in the range of from about 0.7 to 2.0 wt. %, based on anhydrous, carbonaceous residue-free catalyst, and thereafter contacting the catalyst with a substantially sulfur-free gaseous mixture containing oxygen at a temperature varying from about 775.degree. to 900.degree. F. for a time sufficient to burn at least a portion of the carbonaceous residue from the catalyst while maintaining at least 0.7 wt. % chlorine on the catalyst during contact with said gaseous mixture.
摘要:
A deactivated hydrocarbon conversion catalyst, which is a combination of a platinum group component, a group IVA metallic component, and a halogen component with a porous carrier material and which has been deactivated by a deposition of carbonaceous materials thereon during a previous contacting with a hydrocarbon charge stock at an elevated temperature, is regenerated by the sequential steps of: (1) burning carbon therefrom at a relatively low temperature with a gas stream containing H2O and a small amount of O2, (2) treating with a gas stream containing H2O and a small amount of O2 at a relatively high temperature, (3) treating with a gas stream containing H2O and a large amount of O2 at the relatively high temperature, (4) treating with a gas stream containing halogen or a halogen-containing compound and water, (5) purging O2 and H2O from the resulting catalyst and (6) reducing with a dry hydrogen stream. Key features of the resulting method are: (1) presence of water in the gas streams used in all steps except the purging and reduction steps, (2) careful control of the inlet temperature used during each step, (3) adjustment of halogen content of the catalyst after the carbon-burning step and prior to the reduction step, (4) careful control over the composition of the gas streams used in the various steps thereof and (5) exclusion of sulfur compounds from all gas streams utilized.
