Abstract
Abstract Various fractions of petroleum, including residual oils and crude oils, are catalytically converted to produce gaseous olefins, especially propylene and butylene, in fluidized or moving bed or transfer line reactors with solid, acidic catalysts in the presence of steam at a temperature of 500° to 650° C. and a pressure of 1.5×10 5 Pa to 3×10 5 Pa, with a weight space velocity of 0.2 to 20 hr -1 and catalyst-to-oil ratio of 2 to 12. Spent catalyst is continuously removed from the reactor to a regenerator where the coke is burned off and the hot catalyst is returned to the reactor. In a comparison with conventional catalytic cracking and tubular furnance pyrolysis processes, it is found that the process of the present invention produces more propylene and butylene. The total yield of the process of the present invention is about 40 percent by weight of the feedstock.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A process for preparing propylene and butylene by catalytic conversion under cracking conditions which comprises contacting petroleum hydrocarbon vacuum gas oil feedstock with a solid, acidic catalyst selected from the group consisting of pentasil shape selective molecular sieves, ultrastable hydrogen Y sieves, and a mixture of ultrastable hydrogen Y sieves and pentasil shape selective molecular sieves, in a fluidized or moving bed or dense phase transfer line reactor, in the presence of steam at a temperature in the range of from 500° C. to 650° C. and a pressure in the range of from 1.5×10 5 Pa. to 3.0×10 5 Pa., with a weight hourly space velocity of 0.2 to 20 hr -1 , a catalyst-to-oil ratio of 2 to 12, and steam-to-feedstock ratio of 0.01 to 2:1 by weight, thereby converting the petroleum hydrocarbon vacuum gas oil feedstock to propylene and butylene, wherein the propylene yield is over 15 wt. %, and the butylene yield is about 15 wt. %, each of the yields is based on the feedstock.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
