  • 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.

  • Patent number: 9957448
    Abstract: The present application concerns a process for the treatment of a gasoline containing sulphur-containing compounds and olefins, with the following steps: a) a step for hydrodesulphurization of said gasoline in order to produce an effluent which is depleted in sulphur by passing the gasoline mixed with hydrogen over at least one hydrodesulphurization catalyst; b) a step for separating the partially desulphurized gasoline from the hydrogen introduced in excess as well as the H2S formed during step a); c) a catalytic step for sweetening desulphurized gasoline obtained from step b), which converts residual mercaptans into thioethers via an addition reaction with the olefins.

  • 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: 9505686
    Abstract: The present application relates to a process for the selective hydrogenation of a gasoline which contains polyunsaturated compounds and sulphurous light compounds, the process allowing conjointly the hydrogenation of polyunsaturated compounds into mono-unsaturated compounds, increasing weight of the sulphurous light compounds by reaction with the unsaturated compounds, and maximization of the isomerization of the monounsaturated compounds comprising an external C?C double bond into their internal C?C double bond isomer, said process implementing a catalyst containing at least one group VIb metal and at least one group VIII metal deposited on a porous support.

  • Patent number: 9505993
    Abstract: A process for the concomitant production of at least two hydrocarbon cuts with low sulphur contents from a mixture of hydrocarbons having a total sulphur content in the range 30 to 10000 ppm by weight, by a) hydrodesulphurization in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrodesulphurization catalyst; b) separating hydrogen sulphide from the partially desulphurized effluent obtained from a); c) hydrodesulphurization of the partially desulphurized mixture obtained from b) in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrodesulphurization catalyst, the temperature of the second hydrodesulphurization being higher than that of the first hydrodesulphurization; d) fractionating the desulphurized mixture obtained in c) into at least two desulphurized hydrocarbon cuts.
