  • Publication number: 20240076558
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for purifying a pyrolysis oil originating from the pyrolysis of waste including plastics by liquid/liquid extraction. This extraction is performed by means of a polar solvent that is immiscible with pyrolysis oil, for which a recovery rate is obtained greater than or equal to 0.95, this recovery rate being defined as the ratio of the extract volume over the initial volume of solvent, this extract being a phase containing the solvent which is immiscible with pyrolysis oil, recovered after agitation then decantation of a mixture of one part by volume of solvent with twenty-five parts by volume of pyrolysis oil at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of 20° C.

  • Publication number: 20230287282
    Abstract: A process for the purification of a hydrocarbon stream including: (a) Providing a hydrocarbon stream having a diene value of at least 1.0 and a bromine number of at least 5 gBr2/100 g and containing pyrolysis plastic oil; (b) Optionally contact the hydrocarbon stream obtained in step (a) with a silica gel, clays, alkaline or alkaline earth metal oxide, iron oxide, ion exchange resins, active carbon, active aluminum oxide, molecular sieves, alkaline oxide and/or porous supports and silica gel, or any mixture thereof; (c) Heating the stream obtained in step a) or b) followed by a mixing of the heated stream with a second diluent heated at a temperature of at least 300° C. preferably at least 330° C.; (d) performing an hydroprocessing step at a temperature of at least 250° C. in the presence of H2; and (e) recovering a purified hydrocarbon stream.

  • Publication number: 20230057765
    Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated method for thermal conversion and indirect combustion of a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock in a redox chemical loop for producing hydrocarbon streams. The heavy hydrocarbon feedstock (1) is brought into contact with inert particles (2) in a thermal conversion zone (100). Thermal conversion in the absence of hydrogen, water vapour and a catalyst produces a first gaseous effluent of hydrocarbon compounds (4) and coke, which effluent is deposited on the inert particles (5). The latter is then burned in a redox chemical loop (200) in the presence of oxygen-carrying solid particles (6). The inert particles thus flow between the thermal conversion zone (100) and a reduction zone (300) of the chemical loop while the oxygen-carrying solid particles flow between the oxidation (400) and reduction zones (300) of the chemical loop.

  • Patent number: 7550636
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the hydrotreatment of an olefinic gasoline comprising at least one selective hydrogenation stage, and generally of simultaneous conversion of mercaptans by weight increase, in which the makeup hydrogen used in this stage or these stages has a reduced CO+CO2 content, preferably comprised between 5 and 200 ppmv. Most often, the CO content is comprised between 1 and 20 ppmv. The process typically makes it possible to hydrorefine an olefinic gasoline by more or less eliminating the diolefins and sulphur compounds.

  • Publication number: 20060124508
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of converting the mercaptans contained in a hydrocarbon cut containing few or no olefins to heavier sulfur compounds. The method comprises a first stage of mixing the cut to be treated with hydrogen and possibly an olefin cut, then a second stage of reaction of the mixture from the first stage on a catalyst containing at least one group VIII metal. The invention also relates to the application of the method to treatment of a straight-run gasoline.
