  • Patent number: 7582204
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process, including removal of resins, for the treatment of a hydrocarbon charge, at least 80% of the compounds of which have a boiling point which is above or equal to 340° C., in which process: the charge is sent to a fractionation stage during which the recovery takes place of at least one heavy fraction and at least one light fraction, at least some of the heavy fraction is sent to an extraction stage during which resins contained in said heavy fraction are extracted, and a purified fraction is recovered, a mixture is made which comprises at least part of the purified fraction which was obtained in the extraction stage and at least one light fraction which was obtained in the fractionation stage, and the mixture thus obtained is sent to a cracking stage.

  • Patent number: 7563743
    Abstract: This invention relates to doped catalysts on an aluminosilicate substrate with a low content of macropores and the hydrocracking/hydroconversion and hydrotreatment processes that use them. The catalyst comprises at least one hydro-dehydrogenating element that is selected from the group that is formed by the elements of group VIB and group VIII of the periodic table and a dopant in a controlled quantity that is selected from among phosphorus, boron, and silicon and a non-zeolitic substrate with a silica-alumina base that contains a quantity of more than 15% by weight and of less than or equal to 95% by weight of silica (SiO2).

  • Publication number: 20090118556
    Abstract: The present invention concerns doped catalysts on a mixed zeolite/alumino-silicate support with a low macropore content, and hydrocracking/hydroconversion and hydrotreatment processes employing them. The catalyst comprises at least one hydrodehydrogenating element selected from the group formed by elements from group VIB and group VIII of the periodic table and a doping element in a controlled quantity selected from phosphorus, boron and silicon, and a support based on zeolite Y defined by a lattice parameter a of the unit cell in the range 24.40×10?10 m to 24.15×10?10 m and silica-alumina containing a quantity of more than 5% by weight and 95% by weight or less of silica (SiO2).

  • Publication number: 20040040888
    Abstract: This invention relates to an improved process for hydrocracking into a stage of hydrocarbon feedstocks, using in a first reaction zone a pretreatment catalyst that exhibits a low acidity according to a standard activity test and an amorphous acid catalyst for hydrocracking that is free of zeolite in a second reaction zone that is located downstream from the first.

  • Patent number: 6429346
    Abstract: A simultaneous process for simulated moving-bed dismutation and separation of a toluene feedstock into benzene and xylenes in the presence of a hydrogen-rich desorbent in at least one adsorber-reactor (100) that contains beds of a solid and comprises at least three zones (23, 24, 25) is described. Vapor-phase or supercritical feedstock (1) is introduced at the inlet of a reaction and adsorption zone (25) (zone III), and a raffinate (15) that is high in benzene and desorbent is recovered at the outlet. Desorbent (5, 7) is introduced at the inlet of a desorption zone (23) (zone I), and an effluent from which is drawn off a portion (8) in the form of an extract that is high in xylenes and desorbent is recovered at the outlet. The other portion of the effluent of zone I is introduced at the inlet of a reaction and desorption zone (24) (zone II), and an effluent is recovered at the outlet that is sent back to the inlet of reaction and adsorption zone III.
