The invention describes microchannel apparatus and catalysts that contain a layer of a metal aluminide or are made in a process in which a metal aluminide layer is formed as an intermediate. Certain processing conditions have surprisingly been found to result in superior coatings. The invention includes chemical processes conducted through apparatus described in the specification. Other catalysts and catalyst synthesis techniques are also described.

The invention relates ro a method of converting hydrocarbons. According to the method, a gaseous or liquid hydrocarbon feed is passed into a circulating fluidized-bed reactor, wherein the feed is converted at a high temperatue under the influence of particulate matter kept in a fluidized state, and the converted hydrocarbon products are removed from the reactor in a gaseous phase. According to the invention, a circulating fluidized-bed reactor (1-3; 41-43) is used having an axially annular cross section and being equipped with a multiport cyclone (14,17; 52,63) for the separation of the particulate matter from the gas-phase reaction products. The reaction space comprises an intershell riser space (13; 50) formed between two concentrically located cylindrical and/or conical envelope surfaces. The separation of particulate matter from the gas-phase reaction products is performed by means of a multiport cyclone equipped with louvered vanes (14; 63).
摘要:
The operation of a hydrocarbon synthesis reactor and catalyst distributed in the reaction slurry therein are improved by the presence in said reactor of one or more vertical downcomers open at both ends with gas disengaging areas located at their top end. The downcomer which circulates catalyst from the top of the reaction slurry to the bottom of said slurry is fully immersed in the reaction slurry and preferably extends from just above the bottom of the reaction zone of the reaction vessel to just below the top surface of the reaction slurry. The bottom end of said downcomer is shielded from intrusion of rising synthesis gas by the placement of a baffle which blocks rising gas entry but facilitates the exit of catalyst and liquid from the bottom of said downcomer and distributes them radially throughout the adjacent reactor slurry.

A process for isoparaffin-olefin alkylation is provided that permits the use of solid acid catalysts which require frequent regeneration and high isoparaffin/olefin ratios. The process comprises circulating in a reactor a slurry comprising solid acid zeolite catalyst particles (20-2000 microns) and feed of liquid reactants comprising isoparaffins and olefins in an isoparaffin to olefin molar ratio of less than 100, recycling a first portion of said slurry to provide an isoparaffin to olefin molar ratio in the reactor of at least 500, passing a second portion of the slurry to a separating means to separate alkylate product from said solid catalyst particles, and regenerating the catalyst particles.
摘要:
The invention provides a substantially fail-safe HF alkylation process and reactor apparatus. The elongated reactor vessel is enclosed in a subterranean well casing and an alkylate-containing hydrocarbon layer is maintained above the hydrofluoric acid to prevent release of gaseous HF in the event of sudden depressurization. In a preferred embodiment, the hydrocarbon layer contains light hydrocarbons which vaporize upon depressurization to effect Joule-Thompson cooling of the reactor vessel.
摘要:
Process and apparatus for pyrolysis of a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock in which the feedstock is counter-currently contacted with a hot hydrogenating gas stream flowing spirally from the periphery of a substantially circular reactor (1). The hydrocarbon feedstock is injected through an inlet (4) located toward the center of reactor (1). The hot hydrogenating gas is preferably formed by combustion, using a steam-oxygen mixture injected through inlet (2), of carbonaceous by-products from the pyrolysis. Product is removed centrally through outlet (3).

A SMALL AMOUNT OF IMPURITIES CONTAINED IN A SOLUTION OF A HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT SUBSTANCE HAVING A HIGH VISCOSITY IS DISSOLVED AND REMOVED BY CONTACTING SAID SOLUTION WITH AN EXTRACTING LIQUID OF A SOLUTION HAVING A LOW VISCOSITY BY USING A HORIZONTAL CYLINDRICAL TREATING VESSEL PROVIDED WITH TWO ROTARY DRIVING SHAFTS PARALLEL TO THE LONGITUDINAL DIRECTION OF SAID VESSEL WHICH ROTATE IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION WITH EACH OTHER EACH OF SAID DRIVING SHAFTS BEING PROVIDED WITH A PLURALITY OF ROTARY MEMBERS SO THAT THE ROTARY MEMBERS ON THE TWO DRIVING SHAFTS ARE OVERLAPPED AT A GIVEN DISTANCE WITHOUT CONTACTING WITH EACH OTHER AND A PARTITION WALL HAVING AN OPENING AROUND AND NEAR THE DRIVING SHAFT PROVIDED IN THE VICINITY OF THE LAST ROTARY MEMBER IN THE OUTLET SIDE OF THE HIGHLY VISCOUS SOLUTION. THE HIGHLY VISCOUS SOLUTION IS STIRRED WHILE BEING RETAINED BETWEEN THE ROTARY MEMBERS AND IMMERSED IN THE LOW VISCOUS SOLUTION AND ONLY THE HIGHLY VISCOUS SOLUTION TREATED WITH THE LOW VISCOUS SOLUTION IS DISCHARGED THROUGH THE OPENING OF THE PARTITION WALL.

摘要:
Propylene and aromatic compounds are produced in significantly higher yields from liquid hydrocarbon feed streams by subjecting the feed stream to a low severity thermal cracking process. The effluent from the low severity thermal cracking process is separated into a stream comprising C8 and lighter components and a stream containing the C8 and heavier components. The stream containing the C8 and heavier components is thereafter subjected to a thermal hydrocracking process.
