    Abstract: A process for producing isooctane by introducing a butane feed stream (containing n-butane, i-butane) and hydrogen into a catalytic hydrogenolysis reactor to produce a hydrogenolysis product stream; separating the hydrogenolysis product stream into a butane stream (i-butane, optionally n-butane); feeding the butane stream to a catalytic dehydrogenation reactor to produce a dehydrogenation product stream comprising saturated and unsaturated four-carbon hydrocarbons; and feeding the dehydrogenation product stream to an oligomerization unit to produce isooctene and dehydrogenating the isooctene to produce isooctane.

    Abstract: A catalyst includes a zeolite, wherein the zeolite has: a CHA framework; a particle size less than or equal to 100 nanometers; and a silica to alumina mole ratio in the range of about 50:1 to about 150:1. The catalyst can include a metal dopant. The catalyst can be used for purifying a product by flowing a reactant across the catalyst to form the product; and condensing or separating the product. The product can be an olefin or alkenes with an increased carbon chain. The catalyst can be used for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxide or a gas to liquid reaction. A method of producing the catalyst can include selecting the concentration of a crystal growth inhibitor based on the ratio of the silica precursor and an alumina precursor such that the zeolite crystals have a mean particle size less than or equal to 100 nanometers.

    Abstract: A process for producing benzene comprising the steps of:(a) separating a source feedstream comprising C5-C12 hydrocarbons including benzene and alkylbenzenes into a first feedstream comprising a higher proportion of benzene than the source feedstream and a second feedstream comprising a lower proportion of benzene than the source feedstream and subsequently, (b) contacting the first feedstream in the presence of hydrogen with a first hydrocracking catalyst, and (c) contacting the second feedstream with hydrogen under second process conditions to produce a second product stream comprising benzene, wherein i) the second process conditions are suitable for hydrocracking and step (c) involves contacting the second feedstream in the presence of hydrogen with a second hydrocracking catalyst, ii) the second process conditions are suitable for toluene disproportionation and involve contacting the second feedstream with a toluene disproportionation catalyst or iii) the second process conditions are suitable for hydrodealkylation.

    Abstract: A process for producing olefins comprising introducing butane feed (n-butane, i-butane) and hydrogen to hydrogenolysis reactor comprising hydrogenolysis catalyst to produce a hydrogenolysis product stream (hydrogen, methane, ethane, propane, i-butane, optionally n-butane, optionally C5+ hydrocarbons); and feeding the hydrogenolysis product stream and hydrogen to hydrocracking reactor comprising a hydrocracking catalyst to produce hydrocracking product stream (hydrogen, methane, ethane, propane, i-butane, optionally n-butane), wherein the amount of i-butane in the hydrocracking product stream is less than in the hydrogenolysis product stream, and wherein the amount of ethane in the hydrocracking product stream is greater than in the hydrogenolysis product stream. The hydrocracking product stream is separated into first hydrogen stream, first methane stream, first C2+ gas stream (ethane, propane), first C4s stream (i-butane, optionally n-butane), optionally C5+ stream; and the first C2+ gas stream is fed to gas steam cracker to produce a steam cracker product stream comprising olefins (ethylene, propylene).

    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for obtaining ethylene and propylene products from, for example, shale gas and shale gas condensate feedstocks. These systems and method operate by utilizing a hydrocracker train to crack C4 and C5 hydrocarbons to a product stream of propane and ethane or using a hydrogenolysis train to process C4 and C5 hydrocarbons to a product stream of propane and ethane that is provided to a cracker for an efficient conversion to ethylene and propylene. The disclosed systems are configured to reduce the amount of offsite hydrogen needed and also provide product streams that include a well-defined set of products as compared to existing approaches.
