PROCESSES AND BIMETALLIC CRACKING ADDITIVES FOR STEAM ENHANCED CATALYTIC CRACKING OF CRUDE OIL TO PRODUCE LIGHT OLEFINS AND AROMATICS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240299916 titled 'PROCESSES AND BIMETALLIC CRACKING ADDITIVES FOR STEAM ENHANCED CATALYTIC CRACKING OF CRUDE OIL TO PRODUCE LIGHT OLEFINS AND AROMATICS
The abstract describes a process for upgrading a hydrocarbon feed by contacting it with steam in the presence of a cracking catalyst composition to produce a steam catalytic cracking effluent containing light olefins and light aromatic compounds.
- The cracking catalyst composition includes a zsm-5 zeolite, a first metal species, and a second metal species impregnated onto the zeolite.
- The first metal species consists of a metal or metal oxide with a first metal, while the second metal species consists of a metal or metal oxide with a second metal different from the first metal.
Potential Applications: - Petrochemical industry for the production of light olefins and light aromatic compounds. - Refineries for upgrading hydrocarbon feeds to higher value products.
Problems Solved: - Efficient conversion of hydrocarbons into valuable products. - Selective production of light olefins and light aromatic compounds.
Benefits: - Increased yield of light olefins and light aromatic compounds. - Enhanced catalytic cracking efficiency.
Commercial Applications: - Catalyst manufacturers for producing cracking catalyst compositions. - Refineries and petrochemical plants for upgrading hydrocarbon feeds.
Prior Art: Prior research on steam catalytic cracking processes and catalyst compositions using zeolites and metal species.
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing studies on optimizing the composition of cracking catalysts for improved performance.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the presence of different metal species on the zeolite affect the cracking reactions? 2. What are the specific reaction conditions required for optimal production of light olefins and light aromatic compounds in the steam catalytic cracking process?
Original Abstract Submitted
a process for upgrading a hydrocarbon feed comprises contacting the hydrocarbon feed with steam in the presence of a cracking catalyst composition at reaction conditions sufficient to cause at least a portion of hydrocarbons in the hydrocarbon feed to undergo one or more cracking reactions to produce a steam catalytic cracking effluent comprising light olefins, light aromatic compounds, or both, where: the cracking catalyst composition comprises a cracking additive comprising a zsm-5 zeolite, a first metal species, and a second metal species, where the first metal species and the second metal species are impregnated onto the zsm-5 zeolite, the first metal species comprises a metal or metal oxide comprising a first metal, the second metal species comprises a metal or metal oxide comprising a second metal, and the second metal is different from the first metal.
