Problems solved by technology

This leads to many problems, not least the short catalyst life / cycle and thus requiring frequent catalyst regeneration
Additionally, existing processes typically result in the conversion of large amounts of methanol to ethylene and other light olefins, which reduces the yield of desired products, such as xylenes, and increases recovery costs

Embodiment 1

[0055] La-containing MCM-22 crystals were synthesized from a mixture prepared from the following components: 990 g of water, 80 g of hexamethylethyleneimine (HMI) (99% solution), 275 g of silicon dioxide, 74 g of sodium aluminate solution (45%) and 13.5 g of 50% sodium hydroxide solution and 15.2 g of lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate in 50 g of deionized water. The mixture has the molar composition shown in Table 1 below.

[0058] The mixture was reacted for 72 hours at 320°F (160°C) in a 52 liter autoclave with stirring at 250 RPM. The product was filtered, washed with deionized water and dried at 250°F (121°C). The X-ray diffraction pattern of the as-synthesized material shows the typical pure phase of the MCM-22 topology. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the as-synthesized mater...

Embodiment 2

[0061] The catalyst was prepared from a mixture of 80 parts (basis: calcined 538° C.) of La-MCM-22 crystals from Example 1 and 20 parts of Versal TM 300 pseudoboehmite (pseudoboehmite) alumina (basis: calcined 538 ° C). Add enough water to make an extrudable paste. A mixture of La-MCM-22 crystals, pseudo-boehmite alumina, and water was then extruded into an 80 / 20 1 / 20"Q extrudate, which was then dried at 121°C. Under nitrogen (N 2 ) at 538°C to decompose and remove the organic templating agent. Humidify the N with saturated air 2 The extrudate was calcined and exchanged with 1 N ammonium nitrate to remove sodium. After ammonium nitrate exchange, the extrudates were washed with deionized water to remove residual nitrate ions prior to drying. The ammonium exchanged extrudates were dried at 116°C and calcined at 534°C in air. The H-form extrudate has an alpha of 610, a hexane adsorption of 93.9 and a m of 518 2 / g surface area.

Embodiment 3

[0063] The unmodified MCM-49 catalyst was prepared from a mixture of 80 parts (basis: calcined at 538°C) of MCM-49 crystals and 20 parts of high surface area Versal TM 300 alumina (basis: calcined at 538°C). MCM-49, Versal TM A mixture of 300 alumina and water is extruded into 1 / 20" Quadra-lobe (Quadra-lobe), and then dried overnight at 121 ° C in a hot-pack oven. In nitrogen (N 2 ) at 538°C to decompose and remove the organic templating agent. Humidify the N with saturated air 2 The extrudate was calcined and exchanged with 1 N ammonium nitrate to remove sodium. After ammonium nitrate exchange, the extrudates were washed with deionized water to remove residual nitrate ions prior to drying. The ammonium exchanged extrudates were dried overnight at 121°C and calcined at 538°C in air. The extrudate of the H-form had an alpha of 520, a hexane adsorption of ~91, a total (micro+meso) surface area of ​​536 / (353+184), and a collidine ( collidine) adsorption.

Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein include a process for producing paraxylene and catalyst for use in processes for producing paraxylene. In an embodiment, the process includes contacting an aromatic hydrocarbon feed comprising benzene and / or toluene with an alkylating reagent comprising methanol and / or dimethyl ether in at least one alkylation reaction zone in the presence of an alkylation catalyst comprising a molecular sieve having a Constrain Index less than 5 and under alkylation conditions. The alkylation catalyst comprises at least one of a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and a binder, and a majority of the at least one rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal is deposited on the molecular sieve. In addition, the process includes producing an alkylated aromatic product comprisingxylenes.

Description

[0001] Inventors: Wenyih F. Lai, Tan-Jen Chen, Seth M. Washburn [0002] Cross References to Related Applications [0003] This application claims priority to and the benefit of USSN 62 / 609,458, filed December 22, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0004] The present disclosure relates generally to catalysts for the methylation of benzene and / or toluene to produce xylenes, especially para-xylene. Background technique [0005] Xylene is a valuable precursor in the chemical industry. Of the three xylene isomers, para-xylene is the most important as it is the starting material for the manufacture of terephthalic acid, which itself is a valuable intermediate in the preparation of synthetic polyester fibers, films and resins body. Currently, the demand for p-xylene is growing at an annual rate of 5-7%. [0006] One known route to produce p-xylene is through the methylation of benzene and / or toluene. For example, U.S. Patent No. 6,504,...
