Abstract:
Process for the production of a RON isomerate that is at least equal to 80 and that contains less than 1% by weight of aromatic compounds and for co-production of an aromatic fraction that for the most part contains toluene, starting from a fraction with 7 carbon atoms containing paraffins, aromatic compounds and naphthenes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for isomerising typically paraffinic hydrocarbon fractions having 5-7 carbon atoms consisting in using a membrane separation unit which is supplied by an overhead flux from a deisohexaniser which makes it possible to maximise the isopentane quantity in isomerate. Said invention makes it possible to definitely improve the isomerate RON and MON indices by the inventive method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for formulation of a synthetic gas oil or an additive for gas oil in which an alkyl-aromatic compound or a mixture of alkyl-aromatic compounds is selected based on at least one parameter that is selected from the group that consists of the number of cycles of the aromatic core, the number of alkyl chains that are grafted to the aromatic cycle, the length of the alkyl chain or chains, the position of the aromatic cycle or cycles on the alkyl chain or chains of said alkyl-aromatic compound or compounds such that the cetane number of the synthetic gas oil or the additive for gas oil is greater than 30. The invention also relates to a process for the production of alkyl-aromatic compounds for use as a gas oil or additive.
Abstract:
A process is described for producing phenylalkanes by alkylating at least one aromatic compound using at least one linear olefin containing 9 to 16 carbon atoms per molecule. The alkylation reaction is carried out in the presence of at least two different catalysts used in at least two distinct reaction zones. The selectivity for a monoalkylated products of the catalyst contained in the first reaction zone is lower than that for the catalyst contained in the second reaction zone located downstream of the first in the direction movement of the fluids.
Abstract:
A process for the production of at least one isomer of xylenes comprising a simulated moving-bed adsorption (8) of a C8-aromatic feedstock (1) that delivers a paraxylene-rich fraction (9) that is optionally purified after a distillation (16) by at least one high-temperature crystallization (5) and a fraction (10) that is low in paraxylene is described. Fraction (10) is distilled and then isomerized (21) in the presence of an EUO-structural-type catalyst. The lightest hydrocarbons are removed from the isomerization effluent in a first distillation (23) then naphthenes in a second distillation (26), and distilled isomerization effluent (2) that results therefrom is recycled at least in part in adsorption (8). A mother liquor (3) that results from the crystallization stage is recycled at least in part in adsorption (8).

Abstract:
The invention concerns a process for the alkylation of at least one isoaffin selected from the group formed by isobutane and isopentane by at least one olefin containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms per molecule in the presence of a liquid acid catalyst, the process comprising mixing a feed comprising the olefin to be converted with an effluent comprising a major portion of isoparaffin in a first mixing zone, and forming an emulsion of said catalyst in a hydrocarbon effluent comprising a major portion of isoparaffin in an emulsifying zone, said effluent constituting the continuous phase of the emulsion thus formed, then mixing a major portion of the emulsion of acid in hydrocarbon effluent with a major portion of the diluted feed comprising the olefin in a second mixing zone, followed by carrying out the majority of the reaction in a reaction zone which is supplied by the major portion of said mixture.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an alumino-silicate type catalyst containing an omega zeolite with a Si/Al atomic ratio of between 2.5 and 100, with a content by weight of sodium of less than 2000 ppm (in relation to the weight of dry zeolite) and further containing, at least one metal selected from group IIa, IIb, and IVa metals, and at least one group VIII metal.The catalyst is prepared by the grafting of an organometallic compound of said group IIa, IVb, IIb, IVa metals.The catalyst is particularly suitable for the isomerization of an aromatic C.sub.8 cut.

The invention concerns a process for regenerating an impure catalyst comprising sulphuric acid deposited on silica.It is characterized in that the catalyst is calcined at least once to eliminate organic hydrocarbon substances contained in the catalyst, in particular as a result of its use in aliphatic alkylation reactions.
Abstract:
Catalyst comprising a porous mineral or organic support and a mixture constituted by sulphuric acid, trifluoromethanesulphonic acid and, optionally, water. The invention also relates to a method for the preparation of the catalyst and its use in catalytic alkylation of isobutane and/or isopentane in the presence of at least one olefin comprising 3 to 6 carbon atoms per molecule.
