System And Apparatus For Ionic Liquid Catalyst Regeneration

View page
US Patent:
7955999, Jun 7, 2011
Filed:
Dec 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/003577
Inventors:
Huping Luo - Richmond CA, US
Moinuddin Ahmed - Hercules CA, US
Krishniah Parimi - Alamo CA, US
Bong-Kyu Chang - San Rafael CA, US
Assignee:
Chevron U.S.A. Inc. - San Ramon CA
International Classification:
B01J 31/00
US Classification:
502 22, 502 32, 502 53, 502 29, 502150
Abstract:
Disclosed are a system and an apparatus for regenerating an ionic liquid catalyst, which has been deactivated by conjunct polymers during any type of reaction producing conjunct polymers as a by-product, for example, isoparaffin-olefin alkylation. The system and apparatus are designed such that solvent extraction of conjunct polymers, freed from the ionic liquid catalyst through its reaction with aluminum metal, occurs as soon as the conjunct polymers de-bond from the ionic liquid catalyst.

Liquid-Liquid Separation Process Via Coalescers

View page
US Patent:
8067656, Nov 29, 2011
Filed:
Nov 26, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/324601
Inventors:
Huping Luo - Richmond CA, US
Moinuddin Ahmed - Hercules CA, US
Krishniah Parimi - Alamo CA, US
Bong-Kyu Chang - Novato CA, US
Assignee:
Chevron U.S.A. Inc. - San Ramon CA
International Classification:
C07C 2/58
C07C 2/60
C07C 7/12
B01J 38/56
US Classification:
585709, 585718, 585721, 585818, 502 31
Abstract:
A process for separating an ionic liquid from hydrocarbons employs a coalescer material having a stronger affinity for the ionic liquid than the hydrocarbons. The coalescer material can be a high surface area material having a large amount of contact area to which ionic liquid droplets dispersed in the hydrocarbons may adhere. The process includes feeding a mixture comprising ionic liquid droplets dispersed in hydrocarbons to a coalescer comprising the coalescer material. The process further includes a capture step involving adhering at least a portion of the ionic liquid droplets to the coalescer material to provide captured droplets and a coalescing step involving coalescing captured droplets into coalesced droplets. After the capture and coalescence steps, the coalesced droplets are allowed to fall from the coalescer material to separate the ionic liquid from the hydrocarbons and provide a hydrocarbon effluent.

Appl. No.:
12/003580
Inventors:
Huping Luo - Richmond CA, US
Abdenour Kemoun - Pleasant Hill CA, US
Hye-Kyung Timken - Albany CA, US
Assignee:
Chevron U.S.A. Inc. - San Ramon CA
International Classification:
C07C 2/58
US Classification:
585714, 585720, 585721, 585727, 585728, 585729, 585926
Abstract:
Provided is a process for producing low volatility, high quality gasoline blending components from a number of isoparaffin feed streams, olefin feed streams, and ionic liquid catalyst streams. The process entails providing an isoparaffin feed stream comprising isoparaffins, an olefin feed stream comprising olefins, and a catalyst stream comprising ionic liquid catalyst, and subsequently splitting at least the reactive olefin feed stream for feeding into the reaction zone at different locations.

US Patent:
8198499, Jun 12, 2012
Filed:
Dec 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/003574
Inventors:
Huping Luo - Richmond CA, US
Abdenour Kemoun - Pleasant Hill CA, US
Hye-Kyung Timken - Albany CA, US
Assignee:
Chevron U.S.A. Inc. - San Ramon CA
International Classification:
C07C 2/60
US Classification:
585720, 585716, 585721, 585727, 585728, 585729
Abstract:
A process for a liquid/liquid reaction employs a nozzle dispersion whereby liquid reactants and liquid catalyst are injected through at least one nozzle into a reaction zone to effect a reaction. The reaction can be alkylation of at least one isoparaffin with at least one olefin in the presence of an ionic liquid catalyst. The at least one nozzle provides intimate contact between the phases for greater product control and reaction control.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are processes in which precipitation permits removal of metal halides (e. g. AlCl) from ionic liquids. After precipitation, the precipitated metal halides can be physically separated from the bulk ionic liquid. More effective precipitation can be achieved through cooling or the combination of cooling and the provision of metal halide seed crystals. The ionic liquids can be regenerated ionic liquid catalysts, which contain excess metal halides after regeneration. Upon removal of the excess metal halides, they can be reused in processes using ionic liquid catalysts, such as alkylation processes.
