Detailed Description Of The Invention
[0012] the method and composition disclosed herein feedstock conversion that can be used for containing organic compound is a product, and particularly by acid catalysis, for example organifying compound, particularly hydrocarbon are hydrocracking into than the harmonic(-)mean boiling point with than the product of low average molecular weight.Said composition comprises β zeolite and Y zeolite, and described composition can be catalyzer and/or support of the catalyst.Said composition can also comprise refractory inorganic oxide.When being used as the catalyzer of hydrocracking, said composition contains β zeolite, Y zeolite, refractory inorganic oxide and hydrogenation component.
[0013] method for hydrogen cracking disclosed herein and composition concentrate on and use the catalyzer that contains concrete β zeolite and concrete Y zeolite.Said composition does not preferably contain other zeolite, does not contain other β zeolite, and/or does not contain other Y zeolite.The β zeolite preferably has lower silica/alumina mole ratio and higher SF 6Loading capacity.The unit cell dimension of Y zeolite is the 24.25-24.32 dust.Find, when described β zeolite is sneaked into hydrocracking catalyst by this way with described Y zeolite, obtain different performances.Compare with the catalyzer that contains a kind of Y zeolite, under the given activity in the overhead product scope selectivity of ebullient product higher or under given selectivity in the overhead product scope ebullient product activity higher.
[0014] the β zeolite is known as the component of hydrocracking catalyst in the art.The β zeolite is described in US-A-3,308,069 and US issue 28341 again, it is introduced in full with for referencial use herein.The silica/alumina mole ratio that is used for the β zeolite of method and composition disclosed herein is less than 30 an embodiment, be less than 25 in another embodiment, in another embodiment greater than 9 and be less than 30, in another embodiment greater than 9 and be less than 25, in another embodiment greater than 20 and be less than 30, or in another embodiment greater than 15 and be less than 25.As used herein, unless otherwise noted, the silica/alumina (SiO of zeolite 2/ Al 2O 3) mol ratio is the mol ratio of measuring according to the total amount of aluminium that exists in the zeolite and silicon (skeleton and non-skeleton), and is called total silica/alumina (SiO sometimes herein 2/ Al 2O 3) mol ratio.
[0015] the β zeolite is synthetic by the reaction bonded thing that contains template usually.For using template, synthetic β zeolite is being known in the art.For example, US-A-3,308,069 and US issue 28341 again and described use tetraethyl ammonium oxyhydroxide and US-A-5,139,759 have described and have used derived from the corresponding halid tetraethyl ammonium ion of tetraethyl ammonium, at this it are introduced in full with for referencial use.Another standard method of preparation β zeolite is by H.Robson (editor) and K.P.Lillerud (XRD Patterns), second revised edition, ISBN0-444-50703-5, Elsevier, 2001 exercise question describe in the book of VerifiedSynthesis of Zeolitic Materials.It is believed that selecting specific template is not crucial for the success of method disclosed herein.In one embodiment, the β zeolite is to calcine the time that is enough to remove template from the β zeolite in air under 500-700 ℃ (932-1292 ℉) in temperature.Remove template calcining can with the β zeolite with carry out before or after carrier and/or hydrogenation component combine.Although it is believed that template can be higher than under 700 ℃ (1292 ℉) in calcining temperature removes, very high calcining temperature can significantly reduce the SF of β zeolite 6Loading capacity.It is believed that for this reason when preparation is used for the β zeolite of method disclosed herein, should avoid calcining temperature to be higher than 750 ℃ (1382 ℉) in order to remove template.For method key disclosed herein is the SF of β zeolite 6Loading capacity is at least 28 weight %.
[0016] although known with zeolite for example β zeolite steam treatment cause the real crystal structural modification of zeolite, the ability of analytical technology can't accurately be monitored and/or these variations of the important structure details aspect of characterize at present.Displacedly be, the various physicalies of using zeolite for example the measuring result of surface-area as the variation that has taken place and the indication of intensity of variation.For example, it is believed that steam treatment zeolite adsorption sulfur hexafluoride (SF afterwards 6) ability reduce to be because the reduction of the size of zeolite crystallinity or zeolite micropore or attainability causes.But the indirect mutual relationship of these variations may not make us expecting in the zeolite, because SF in the used catalyzer in disclosed method and the composition herein 6Loading capacity is higher.In the embodiment of disclosed method and composition, no matter whether pass through steam treatment, the SF of β zeolite herein 6Loading capacity all should be at least 28 weight %.
[0017] therefore, the β zeolite of method and composition disclosed herein can be used SF 6Loading capacity characterizes.This is the generally acknowledged characterization technique such as the poromerics of zeolite.It and other loading capacity are measured, and for example the similar part of water adsorption capacity is, it utilizes weight difference to measure through pre-treatment to the adsorbed SF of sample that does not contain adsorbate substantially 6Amount.SF 6Because its size and dimension holds it back and enters diameter and be used in this test less than the hole of 6 dusts.Therefore it can be used as a kind of measurement approach that obtains aperture and bore dia contraction.This is again a kind of measurement approach of steam treatment to the zeolite influence.In the simplification of this measuring method is described, with sample preferably at first in a vacuum 300 ℃ (572 ℉) predrying 1 hour down, subsequently under atmospheric pressure in air in 650 ℃ (1202 ℉) heating 2 hours down, weigh at last.Be exposed to SF subsequently 6In 1 hour, simultaneously sample is remained under 20 ℃ (68 ℉).SF 6Vapour pressure remain on liquid SF 6Under the pressure that 400 holders (53.3kPa (7.7psi)) are provided down.Sample weigh again to measure adsorbed SF 6Amount.Sample can be suspended on the balance to make things convenient for these steps to carry out in these steps.
[0018] in any large-scale production process that comprises such as the technology of steam treatment and heating, each particle may stand different degree of treatments.For example, the particle in the bottom of the heap that moves along rotary oven (pile) may not can be subjected to atmosphere or the temperature identical with the particle that covers this heap top.This factor must be considered in manufacturing processed and in the analysis of the finished product and test process.Therefore, recommend any experimental measurement that described material is carried out all on the representative composite sample of the finished product of all amts, to carry out, with avoid by on the single particle or the test result of on nonrepresentative sample, carrying out mislead.For example, carrying out loading capacity on the representative composite sample measures.
[0019] although method and composition disclosed herein can use the β zeolite without steam treatment, method and composition disclosed herein also can use the β zeolite through steam treatment, and condition is to compare gentleness of steam treatment with the steam treatment of β zeolite in the document.Under the condition that is fit to and through the suitable time, steam treatment β zeolite can produce the catalyzer that can be used in the method and composition disclosed herein.
[0020] to be used for the zeolite of hydrocracking catalyst be disadvantageous relatively means to hydrothermal treatment consists.For any given zeolite, steam treatment has reduced the acidity of zeolite.When the zeolite that uses steam treatment to cross during as hydrocracking catalyst, significantly the result is that total overhead product productive rate improves but catalyst activity reduces.This significantly compromise meaning between productive rate and the activity just do not wanted steam treatment β zeolite in order to realize high reactivity, but this can be a cost with lower product yield.This significantly trading off between productive rate and the activity must be considered, and limit and it seems by the attainable improvement of steam treatment β zeolite.As if as if when the β zeolite that uses steam treatment to cross in the disclosed catalyzer herein, the catalyst activity that only contains Y zeolite improves limited, and described catalyst production is improved and improved a lot.
