  • Publication number: 20040035752
    Abstract: A process for desulphurizing a gasoline feed comprising at least 150 ppm by weight of sulphur-containing compounds using a hydrodesulphurization catalyst is characterized in that said feed undergoes prior denitrogenation treatment under conditions such that the amount of nitrogen-containing compounds present in said feed when it is brought into contact with said hydrodesulphurization catalyst does not exceed 150 ppm by weight.

  • Publication number: 20040007503
    Abstract: A process for hydrodesulphurizing gasoline cuts is carried out in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least one group VIII element, at least one group VIB element, and a support with a specific surface area of less than about 200 m2/g, wherein the density of the group VIB elements per unit surface area of the support is in the range 4×10−4 to 36×10−4 g of group VIB element oxides per m2 of the support.

  • Publication number: 20040007504
    Abstract: Process for the hydrodesulphurization of gasoline cuts in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least one support, at least one element of group VII and tungsten, in which the atomic ratio (element of group VIII)/(element of group VIII+tungsten) is greater than 0.15 and less than 0.50.

  • Publication number: 20030217951
    Abstract: Process for desulfurization of a cut containing hydrocarbons comprising sulfur compounds and olefinic compounds comprising at least the following successive steps: a first desulfurization in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrodesulfurization catalyst under conditions leading to a desulfurization rate of said cut strictly higher than 90%; separation of most of the hydrogen sulfide from the effluents resulting from the first desulfurization; a second desulfurization of the effluents, with the hydrogen sulfide removed, resulting from the separation step, in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrodesulfurization catalyst, and under conditions leading to a desulfurization rate of said effluents less than that of the first desulfurization.

  • Publication number: 20030042175
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of gasoline with a low sulfur content that comprises at least one selective hydrogenation of diolefins, optionally at least one stage for transformation, preferably to increase their weight, for light sulfur-containing compounds that are present in the gasoline, at least one fractionation of the gasoline that is obtained into at least two fractions: light gasoline and heavy gasoline, then optionally a stage for transformation, preferably for alkylation or adsorption, of sulfur-containing compounds and a desulfurization treatment in a stage of at least a portion of the heavy fraction.

  • Publication number: 20020175108
    Abstract: Production of gasolines with low sulfur contents from a starting gasoline containing sulfur-containing compounds comprising a stage a) for selective hydrogenation of non-aromatic polyunsaturated compounds present in the starting gasoline, a stage b) for increasing the molecular weight of the light sulfur-containing products that are initially present in the gasoline that enters this stage, a stage c) for alkylation of at least a portion of the sulfur-containing compounds present in the product that originates stage b), a stage d) for fractionation of the gasoline that originates from stage c0 into at least two fractions, one fraction virtually lacking in sulfur-containing compounds, whereby the other contains a larger proportion of sulfur-containing compounds (heavy gasoline), a stage e) for catalytic treatment of the heavy gasoline for transformation of sulfur-containing compounds under conditions for the at least partial decomposition of hydrogenation of these sulfur-containing compounds.

  • Publication number: 20020166798
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of gasoline with a low sulfur content that comprises at least one stage for transformation of sulfur-containing compounds consisting of an alkylation or adsorption of sulfur-containing compounds and/or an increasing of the weight of light sulfur-containing compounds, at least one stage for treatment in the presence of an acid catalyst and at least one desulfurization treatment of at least a portion of the gasoline. The process according to the invention can also optionally comprise at least one stage for selective hydrogenation of diolefins and optionally at least one fractionation of the gasoline that is obtained into at least two fractions: light gasoline and heavy gasoline. FIG. 1 to be published.
