  • Patent number: 11331654
    Abstract: The present invention provides a catalyst for aromatization of a long-carbon chain alkane and a preparation method thereof. In the present invention, a molecular sieve containing a BEA structure is taken as an active component and mixed with a carrier, and then the mixture is formed, dried and calcined to obtain the catalyst for aromatization of a long-carbon chain alkane.

  • Patent number: 11305265
    Abstract: An aromatization catalyst and preparation process and use thereof is set forth. The catalyst comprises an inorganic oxide and a modified Ga-ZSM-5 zeolite, which comprises a modified ZSM-5 zeolite with a hierarchical macro-meso-microporosity and gallium deposited in channels of and/or on surfaces of the modified ZSM-5 zeolite. The hierarchical porosity of the modified ZSM-5 zeolite in the catalyst can reduce diffusion resistance of products during the aromatization reaction, thereby retarding carbon depositing rate and substantially improving catalytic activity, aromatic hydrocarbon selectivity, stability and lifetime of the catalyst. When being used in aromatization of propane, the catalyst exhibits a high stability, a lifetime of more than 320 hours, and a selectivity to aromatic hydrocarbons of up to 73.3 wt. %.

  • Patent number: 11084772
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process for continuously producing polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers at low temperature, pertains to the technical field of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether preparation processes, and solves the technical problem of continuous production of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether. A membrane separation element with precisely controlled pores in membrane is used to realize a direct separation of the feedstocks from the catalyst within the reactor, and effectively reduce the permeation resistance of the separation membrane tube. By oppositely switching the flowing direction of liquid reaction materials, the adhesion of the catalyst to the separation membrane tube is inhibited, and some particles stuck in separation membrane tube are removed, which ensures the continuous operation of the reaction process and allows a molecular sieve catalyst to exhibit its advantage of long catalytic life.

  • Patent number: 10844287
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing gasoline and aromatics by using Fischer-Tropsch synthesis exhaust. The method includes conducting an olefin conversion reaction on Fischer-Tropsch synthesis exhaust under the action of a first molecular sieve catalyst. A first refrigeration or cooling is conducted on an obtained product to obtain ultralow sulfur-containing gasoline and first-stage reaction gas. An alkaline aromatization reaction is conducted on the first-stage reaction gas under the action of a second molecular sieve catalyst. A second refrigeration or cooling is conducted on an obtained product to obtain aromatics. After the olefin conversion reaction, a gasoline component is separated and residual alkanes enter a second-stage fluidized bed reactor for the alkane aromatization reaction to produce aromatics.
