Definitions

  • U.S. 4,591 ,425 (attorney docket 6213AUS) issued relates to the field of transferring of catalyst from a fluid catalytic cracking unit to a reduced crude catalytic cracking unit to a metals removal unit.
  • U.S. 4,406,773 (attorney docket 6039AUS) relates to separation of metal contaminated cracking catalysts from a fluid catalytic cracking unit to improve activity upon recycling back to the fluid catalytic cracking unit.
  • This invention relates to hydrocarbon conversions involving catalytic cracking. It also relates to magnetic separation of metal contaminated cracking catalysts such as disclosed in U.S. 4,406,773 of W. P. Hettinger, Jr. and R. M. Benslay, and U.S. 4,349,379 of Nippon Oil Company.
  • hydrocarbyl feed shall mean a petroleum feedstock characterized as follows: % by weight of hydrogen in the range 6-18%; of carbon in the range 67-94%; of metal contaminates comprising nickel, cobalt, magnesium, vanadium, and sulfur in the range of 0-15%; a Conradson carbon number in the range 0-30%.
  • FCC shall mean throughout this specification fluid catalytic cracking as further defmed in the Petroleum Handbook. Catalytic cracking is defined and described in Shreve's Chemical Process Industries, 5th ed., by George T. Austin, Chapter 37, pp 735-740. Catalytic cracking is also defined and described in Petroleum Refining Technology and Economics, 2nd ed., by James H. Gary and Glenn E. Handwerk, Chapter 7, pp 99-108.
  • This invention arises from the discovery that instead of simply recycling magnetically separated cracking catalysts back to an FCC unit, there is a benefit in terms of activity and selectivity, in sending a portion of such magnetically separated cracking catalyst to a separate FCC unit, that is operated at different conditions from those of the FCC unit from which the separated catalyst was removed.
  • this invention involves a process for the cascading of spent equilibrium catalyst from at least one first fluid catalytic cracking unit to a second fluid catalytic cracking unit. The primary difference between the first and the second unit resides in the characteristics of the hydrocarbyl feed stocks used in each.
  • the characteristics of the hydrocarbyl feed in the one or more first units are: boiling range of preferably 430°F and higher with no more than 10 weight percent (wt.%) boiling above 1050°, more preferably 450°F and higher with no more than 5 wt.% boiling above 1050, and most preferably 480°F and higher with no more than 2 wt.% boiling above 1050.
  • the relative characteristics of the hydrocarbyl feed in the second unit are: the second feed is higher in Ramsbottom carbon content preferably by at least 0.5, more preferably at least 1 , and most preferably at least 2, with the general range increase in Ramsbottom carbon content being about 0.5 to 4; in iron/vanadium content by a ratio preferably in the range 10: 1 to 1:10, more preferably in the range 2: 1 to 1 : 10, and most preferably in the range 1:1 to 1:10; iron/nickel content by a ratio preferably in the range 10:1 to 1:10, more prcferably by a ratio in the range 2:1 to 1 :10, and most preferably by a ratio in the range 1 : 1 to 1 : 10; and/or content of material boiling above 1050°F increased by an amount in percent by weight preferably in the range 10-70%, more preferably in the range 20-70%, and most preferably in the range 30- 70%.
  • the minimum metal content of feed in the first cracker is less than 5 ppm for Ni, V, Fe, or Cu; more preferably less than 1 ppm for Ni, V, Fe, or Cu; most preferably less than .5 ppm for Ni, V, Fe, or Cu; but generally more than at least 0.4; whereas the minimum metal content of feed in the second cracker is preferably at least 3 ppm for Ni, V, Fe; more preferably at least 5 ppm for Ni, V, Fe; and most preferably at least 7 ppm for Ni, V, Fe; wherein in all cases the amount of Cu may not be increased in the second reactor over that of the first.
  • the minimum metal contamination of the catalyst before magnetic separation is preferably at least 500 ppm Ni + V; more preferably at least 1000 ppm Ni + V; and most preferably at least 1500 ppm Ni + V.
  • the Conradson Carbon number in the first reactor is preferably in the range 0.1-2, more preferably in the range 0.1-1.5, and most preferably in the range 0.1-1 ; and the Conradson Carbon number in the second reactor corresponding to each of these ranges is preferably in the range 2-20; more preferably in the range 1.5-20; and most preferably 1-20.
  • the magnetic cut can be done in three different cuts. For example, preferably at least 20% by weight of the more magnetically active material is discarded before transfer from the first cracker to the second; more preferably at least 50% by weight of the more magnetically active material is discarded; and most preferably at least 70% by weight of the more magnetically active material is discarded.
  • An improvement in both yields and selectivity are found. The benefit occurs when a different feed stock from that in a first FCC unit is contacted in a second FCC unit with the magnetically separated FCC equilibrium catalyst from the one or more first FCC units.
  • Iron and magnesium magnetic hooks were found to be preferable to heavy rare earth family magnetic hooks in many instances.
  • the rate of addition of iron was preferably in the range of up to two to three times, and possibly more, the level of nickel and vanadium in the feedstock.
  • the rate of addition of manganese is preferably at any rate between 0.1 ppm and 100 ppm, so as to deposit on total equilibrium catalyst in amount from 100 to 50,000 ppm.
  • Example of a suitable manganese containing compounds are monocyclopentadiene tricarbonyl.
  • suitable iron containing magnetic hooks are: sublime able iron trichloride and iron carbonyls, organic co pounds like ferrocene, or iron porphyrins, and water soluble salts such as ferrous acetate, ferric formate and ferrous or ferric sulfate.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing of two FCC units and a magnetic separator.
  • first FCC unit 10 which may represent more than one unit
  • magnetic separator 11 which also represents one or more units
  • second FCC unit 20 a series of conduits into and out of first FCC unit 10: conduit 12 for a first feedstock, conduit 13 for cold spent catalyst from other FCC units that are like the first FCC, conduit 14 for both magnetically separated cracking catalyst and fresh or make-up cracking catalyst, conduit 15 for a first portion of magnetically separated and recycled cracking catalyst, conduit 16 for product, conduit 17 for a second portion of magnetically separated cracking catalyst separated in first magnetic separator 11, conduit 18 for the contaminated catalyst from the first FCC unit, conduit 19 for a greater magnetic discard stream from the magnetic separator, and a series of conduits into and out of second FCC unit 20: conduit 22 for second feedstock, conduit 24 for make-up cracking catalyst, conduit 26 for product, conduit 27 for discarded catalyst.
  • first FCC unit 10 a hydrocarbyl feedstock having the following characteristics is introduced through conduit 12 at a rate sufficient to give a flowing catalyst-to-oil weight ratio of 2.5 to 15.
  • the riser cracker conditions of FCC unit 10 are: 0.1 to 3 seconds residence time, 350 to 550 input feed temperature, 890 to 1010°F outlet temperature, 0.01 to .5 lbs/barrel make-up catalyst rate.
  • the riser cracker conditions of FCC unit 20 are: the same ranges as FCC #1.
