Process for xylenes production |
摘要 |
Provided is a process for producing aromatics including the steps of preparing a C8 hydrocarbon stream, feeding a naphtha stream and the C8 hydrocarbon stream to a reforming unit, and reforming the naphtha stream and the C8 hydrocarbon stream to yield aromatics. The process combines a co-feed containing C8 hydrocarbons, an alkali/alkaline earth metal-containing reforming catalyst, and a high temperature operating regime to achieve significant improvements in a reforming process for the production of xylenes and other aromatics. |

1. A process for producing aromatics comprising:
(a) passing a hydrocarbon stream comprising n-butenes and isobutene to a first oligomerization unit operated under a condition to convert isobutene to form dimers but keep n-butenes unreacted to generate a first oligomerization unit effluent comprising C4 hydrocarbons and at least C8 olefins; (b) passing the first oligomerization unit effluent to a separation unit to separate the first oligomerization unit effluent into a first overhead stream comprising C4 hydrocarbons including unreacted n-butenes and a first bottoms stream comprising at least C8 olefins; (c) passing the first overhead stream to a second oligomerization unit operated under a condition to convert unreacted n-butene to 1-octene to generate a second oligomerization unit effluent comprising C4 hydrocarbons and 1-octene; (d) passing the second oligomerization unit effluent to a second separation unit to separate the second oligomerization unit effluent into a second overhead stream comprising unreacted n-butenes and a second bottoms stream comprising octene-1; (e) passing a naphtha stream and the second bottoms stream to a reforming unit containing a catalyst comprising about 0.01 to about 2 wt. % of platinum, about 0.01 to about 5 wt. % of tin, about 0.1 to about 2 wt. of chlorine, about 400 to 1,100 wppm of potassium, and alumina as a support; (f) reforming the naphtha stream and the second bottoms stream in the said reforming unit at a temperature greater than 500° C. to yield aromatics including xylenes. |
