Using Temperature Gradient Or Material Concentration Gradient Or Introduction Of Same Material At More Than Two Serially Spaced Points Of Reaction Zone System Patents (Class 585/735)
Abstract: An axial flow staged zone oligomerization reaction process includes the steps of passing a hydrocarbon feedstock into the lower portion of the axial flow staged zone reactor which includes axial circulation of the hydrocarbon reaction fluid serially in each of the reaction zones, passing catalyst through a constriction zone located between successive upper and lower catalytic reaction zones which includes heat exchanging of the fluids being the constriction zone within the reactor and further includes withdrawing the oligomerized product from the top of the reactor.

Abstract: The benzene content in a gasoline pool is reduced by a process that hydrogenates a benzene-containing isomerization zone feedstream. The additional cyclic hydrocarbons produced by the saturation of benzene can be processed in the isomerization zone for ring opening to increase the available paraffinic feedstock or the isomerization zone can be operated to pass the cyclic hydrocarbons through to a product recovery section. The isomerization zone feedstream is treated to remove contaminants and dried before entering the hydrogenation zone.

Abstract: A high VI and low pour point lubricant base stock is made by hydroisomerizing a high purity, waxy, paraffinic Fischer-Tropsch synthesized hydrocarbon fraction having an initial boiling point in the range of 650-750° F., followed by catalytically dewaxing the hydroisomerate using a dewaxing catalyst comprising a catalytic platinum component and an H-mordenite component. The hydrocarbon fraction is preferably synthesized by a slurry Fischer-Tropsch using a catalyst containing a catalytic cobalt component. This combination of the process, high purity, waxy paraffinic feed and the Pt/H-mordenite dewaxing catalyst, produce a relatively high yield of premium lubricant base stock.

Abstract: A process to isomerize at least one normal or mono-methyl-branched alkane containing from about 6 to about 8 carbon atoms to form at least one multi-methyl-branched alkane has been developed. The normal or mono-methyl-branched alkane is introduced to a reaction and adsorption zone operating under conditions effective to isomerize the normal or mono-methyl-branched alkane and containing a catalyst effective to isomerize the normal or mono-methyl-branched alkane and an adsorbent effective to selectively adsorb normal and mono-methyl-branched alkanes relative to multi-methyl-branched alkanes. Hydrogen and a desorbent comprising at least one alkane having from about 4 to about 8 carbon atoms is introduced to a first portion of the reaction and adsorption zone and an effluent containing at least one multi-methyl-branched alkane is withdrawn from a second portion of the reaction and adsorption zone.
Abstract: A process for isomerizing straight chain hydrocarbons having at least seven carbon atoms by forming a reaction mixture including at least one of the straight chain hydrocarbons and hydrogen and passing the reaction mixture over a catalyst including a molybdenum compound, at least the surface of which is formed of molybdenum carbide partially oxidized in the form of at least one oxycarbide.
