Problems solved by technology

The prior art generally fails to provide processing schemes and arrangements for the conversion of an oxygenate-containing feedstock to olefins that maximizes production of propylene to as great an extent as may be desired.
Moreover, the prior art generally fails to provide a processing scheme and arrangement as effective and efficient as may be desired in increasing the relative yield of propylene in association with the conversion of oxygenate materials to light olefins.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Oxygenate-containing feedstock can be converted to light olefins in a catalytic reaction. Heavier hydrocarbons (e.g., C4+ hydrocarbons) formed during such processing can be subsequently treated such that at least a portion of a quantity of butenes formed upon such conversion are metathesized to produce additional propylene.

[0023]As will be appreciated such processing may be embodied in a variety of processing arrangements. As representative, FIG. 1 illustrates a simplified schematic process flow diagram for a processing scheme, generally designated with the reference numeral 10, for the conversion of oxygenates to olefins and employing a metathesis zone to enhance the yield of propylene, in accordance with one embodiment.

[0024]More particularly, an oxygenate-containing feedstock or feedstream 12 such as generally composed of light oxygenates such as one or more of methanol, ethanol, dimethyl ether, diethyl ether, or combinations thereof, is introduced into an oxygenate convers...

Abstract

A processing scheme and system for enhanced light olefin production, particularly for increased relative yield of propylene, involves oxygenate conversion to olefins and subsequent oxygenate conversion effluent stream treatment including cross-metathesis of 1-butene with 2-butene, metathesis of 2-butene with ethylene, conversion or removal of at least a portion of the isobutene, and / or isomerization of at least a portion of 1-butene to 2-butene to produce additional propylene. The processing scheme and system may further involve a reaction with distillation column for the metathesis of butenes with ethylene to produce propylene and / or a reaction with distillation column for the conversion of isobutenes with an oxygenate-containing material to produce a tertiary ether or alcohol.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to the conversion of oxygenates to olefins and, more particularly, to light olefins.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A major portion of the worldwide petrochemical industry is in involved with the production of light olefin materials and their subsequent use in the production of numerous important chemical products via polymerization, oligomerization, alkylation and the like well-known chemical reactions. Light olefins include ethylene, propylene and mixtures thereof. These light olefins are essential building blocks for the modern petrochemical and chemical industries. The major source for these materials in present day refining is the stream cracking of petroleum feeds. For various reasons including geographical, economic, political and diminished supply considerations, the art has long sought a source other than petroleum for the massive quantities of raw materials that are needed to supply the demand for these light ol...
