  • Patent number: 10822555
    Abstract: A process reducing sulfides R1-S-R2, with R1 and R2 methyl or ethyl, in a gasoline containing diolefins, mono-olefins and sulphur: A) contacting gasoline in mixture with a light gasoline cut recycled from C) and hydrogen in a reactor with catalyst A at least one VIb metal and at least one non noble group VIII metal on a support, producing effluent having diolefins and sulfides R1-S-R2, with R1 and R2 methyl or ethyl radicals lower than that that of the starting gasoline; B) the effluent from A) is sent into a fractionating column separating at the top a light gasoline cut containing hydrocarbons having less than 6 carbon atoms per molecule and at the bottom a heavy gasoline cut containing hydrocarbons having 6 and more than 6 carbon atoms per molecule; C) recycling a part of the light gasoline from B) to the reactor of A) with a recycle ratio 0.1 to 0.7.

  • Publication number: 20180148658
    Abstract: A process reducing sulfides R1-S—R2, with R1 and R2 methyl or ethyl, in a gasoline containing diolefins, mono-olefins and sulphur: A) contacting gasoline in mixture with a light gasoline cut recycled from C) and hydrogen in a reactor with catalyst A at least one VIb metal and at least one non noble group VIII metal on a support, producing effluent having diolefins and sulfides R1-S—R2, with R1 and R2 methyl or ethyl radicals lower than that that of the starting gasoline; B) the effluent from A) is sent into a fractionating column separating at the top a light gasoline cut containing hydrocarbons having less than 6 carbon atoms per molecule and at the bottom a heavy gasoline cut containing hydrocarbons having 6 and more than 6 carbon atoms per molecule; C) recycling a part of the light gasoline from B) to the reactor of A) with a recycle ratio 0.1 to 0.7.

  • Publication number: 20180023010
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for reducing the content of sulfide-type compounds of formula R1-S—R2, with R1 and R2 selected from among the methyl (CH3) and ethyl (C2H5) radicals, of a gasoline that contains diolefins, monoolefins, and sulfur. The method implements a first catalytic step for selective hydrogenation of diolefins at a temperature of between 60° C. and 150° C. and then a step for heating the effluent that is obtained from the first step with a temperature difference ?T of between 10° C. and 100° C. and a second catalytic step on the effluent that is heated in such a way as to produce an effluent that has a content of sulfide-type compounds of formula R1-S—R2, with R1 and R2 selected from among the methyl (CH3) and ethyl (C2H5) radicals, lower than that of the starting gasoline.

  • Patent number: 9745524
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for treatment of a gasoline that comprises diolefins, olefins and sulfur-containing compounds including mercaptans, consisting of a stage for treatment of the gasoline in a distillation column (2) comprising at least one reaction zone (3) including at least one catalyst that makes it possible to carry out the addition of mercaptans to the olefins that are contained in the gasoline that distills toward the top of the catalytic column.

  • Publication number: 20150175910
    Abstract: A process for the treatment of a gasoline comprising diolefins, olefins and sulphur-containing compounds including mercaptans: a) demercaptanization by addition of at least a portion of the mercaptans onto the olefins by bringing the gasoline into contact with at least one first catalyst; b) treatment of the gasoline obtained from a) with hydrogen in a distillation column comprising at least one reaction zone including at least one second catalyst. The operating conditions and the second catalyst of b) are selected such that in the distillation column, separation of the gasoline obtained from a) into a light gasoline fraction and a heavy gasoline fraction is carried out simultaneously with a reaction for thioetherification and selective hydrogenation of the diolefins of a gasoline fraction obtained from a) by contact with the second catalyst.

  • Publication number: 20150166908
    Abstract: A process for treatment of gasoline comprising diolefins, olefins and sulphur-containing compounds including mercaptans. The process comprises: a) demercaptanization by addition of a portion of the mercaptans onto the olefins by bringing gasoline into contact with a first catalyst; b) separating the gasoline obtained from a) into a light gasoline cut and a heavy gasoline cut; c) introducing a stream of hydrogen and the second heavy gasoline cut obtained from b) into a distillation column comprising a reaction zone including a second catalyst in the sulphide form comprising a second support, a metal from group VIII and a metal from group VIb, to decompose the sulphur-containing compounds to form H2S; d) evacuating at a point located above the reaction zone at least one final light gasoline fraction comprising H2S, and at a point located below the reaction zone a desulphurized heavy gasoline fraction from the catalytic distillation column.
