US Patent:

47433582, May 10, 1988

Filed:

Dec 10, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/940001

Inventors:

Edwin L. Kugler - Glen Gardner NJ
Richard P. Rhodes - Westfield NJ

Assignee:

Exxon Research and Engineering Company - Florham Park NJ

International Classification:

C10G 1100

US Classification:

208120

Abstract:

A strontium colloid system is introduced into a hydrocarbon conversion process to suppress the harmful effects of one or more metal contaminants in the hydrocarbon feedstock on the active component(s) of the catalyst used in said process. The strontium compound in the colloid system reacts with or traps the metal contaminants before they contact the active component(s) of said catalyst, thereby reducing catalyst deactivation, coke make and hydrogen production relative to that obtained had said compound been introduced into the process in non-colloid form. In a preferred embodiment, the strontium colloid system is introduced into the reaction zone of said process and, preferably, with at least a portion of the hydrocarbon feedstock to said process.

Assignee:

Exxon Research and Engineering Company - Florham Park NJ

International Classification:

C22C 2908

US Classification:

75230

Abstract:

A compacted, single phase or multiphase composite article. Particles for use in the compacted article are produced by providing a precursor compound containing at least one or at least two metals and a coordinating ligand. The compound is heated to remove the coordinating ligand therefrom and increase the surface area thereof. It may then be reacted so that at least one metal forms a metal-containing compound. The particles may be consolidated to form a compacted article, and for this purpose may be used in combination with graphite or diamonds. The metal-containing compound may be a nonmetallic compound including carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides of a refractory metal, such as tungsten. The metal-containing compound may be dispersed in a metal matrix, such as iron, nickel or cobalt. The dispersed nonmetallic compound particles are no larger than about 0.

Inventors:

Edwin L. Kugler - Glen Gardner NJ

Assignee:

Exxon Research and Engineering Company - Florham Park NJ

International Classification:

C10G 1105

US Classification:

208120

Abstract:

This invention relates to a catalyst suitable for use in a fluid catalytic process and a method of using the catalyst on hydrocarbons containing one or more poison metal of vanadium or nickel to convert the hydrocarbons to lower boiling fractions. The catalyst contains a particulate and substantially water-insoluble strontium compound (in addition to a conventional zeolite and catalyst matrix) which reacts with and traps the metal poison to preserve the structure of the zeolite and, in addition, lowers the coke make and hydrogen production.
