Embodiment 1

[0067] Embodiment 1: prepare described catalyst

[0068] Zeolite beta (ammonium form, HSZ-940NHA, available from Japan Tosoh Chemical Co., Ltd.), SiO 2 / Al 2 o 3 The molar ratio is 37 and the BET surface area is 570m 2 / g, average particle size 6 microns and nominal Na 2 The O content is 0.05% by weight. The zeolite beta was stirred with aqueous nickel nitrate hexahydrate to ion-exchange nickel, and the resulting solid was dried and impregnated with aqueous platinum chloride to produce Ni-β-Pt according to the following procedure: Nickel nitrate hexahydrate Ni(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O was dissolved in distilled water to yield 200 mL of a 10 wt% solution. To this solution was added 30 g of uncalcined zeolite beta and stirring was continued for 1 hour, then filtered and finally washed twice to remove nitrate ions. The resulting solid was dried at room temperature for 2 hours and then oven-dried at 120°C for 3 hours. The Ni-β was then impregnated with a 0.1 wt% platinum solution...

Embodiment 2

[0069] Embodiment 2; The catalyst of test embodiment 1

[0070] The catalyst of Example 1 was tested for a transalkylation reaction using heavy reformate in a benchtop reaction system to examine the effectiveness of the catalyst for C9 conversion and product selectivity. The test procedure consisted of filling the middle of a vertical reactor with 2.0 mL of the catalyst extrudate, while the lower and upper parts of the reactor were filled with inert alumina spheres. The total reactor volume was 5 mL. The catalyst was activated and reduced at a pure hydrogen flow rate of 50 mL / min gas and maintained at a temperature of 400° C. for 2 hours. The reactor temperature was then reduced to 340 °C and 20 bar pressure and heavy reformate was supplied at a rate of 4.8 mL / h. The composition of the heavy reformate is provided in Table 6. Reactions were run at this temperature for 3 hours before samples were collected. The reaction products were then injected directly into an on-line ga...

Abstract

A method for the transalkylation of a heavy reformate is provided. The heavy reformate is contacted with a transalkylation catalyst and hydrogen gas in a transalkylation reactor to selectively convert the heavy reformate to a xylenes-rich product stream. Light alkanes produced during the reaction can be supplied to a steam cracker where they are converted to light olefins.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to the production of xylenes from heavy reformate. More specifically, the present invention relates to the production of xylenes by transalkylation using heavy reformate, and also to the production of ethylene, propylene and butadiene using by-product light gases as feedstocks. Background technique [0002] The heavy reformate, which typically contains greater than about 90% by weight C9+ aromatics, is blended into the gasoline stream. However, according to the current regulations on the aromatics content and the high final boiling point of gasoline, it is no longer possible to blend heavy reformate in gasoline. Given the rate of market growth in demand for para-xylene, conversion of heavy aromatics to para-xylene via transalkylation is considered an economically viable way to utilize heavy reformate. [0003] Limitations on the aromatics content of gasoline have forced refiners to find alternative ways to utilize the excess he...
