Pillared clay catalyst for catalytic cracking of heavy oil, method for preparation and use thereof

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to catalysts for hydrocarbon conversion. More particularly, the invention relates to pillared clay catalysts for catalytic pyrolysis of heavy oil or residual feedstock to give the maximum yield of ethylene, propylene and butylene products and to their preparation method and application.

2. Description of Prior Art

Light olefins, including ethylene as a principal variety of the kind, are important industrial chemicals, for which the demand is increasing steadily. In the prior art, ethylene was mainly produced by means of thermal cracking process from light oil feedstock, while propylene and butylene were mainly prepared by fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process with solid acidic catalysts.

Catalytic pyrolysis process (CPP) with heady oil or residual feedstock is actually an art of introducing catalyst into thermal cracking process. By the CPP process, heavy oil or residual feedstock can be converted into a relatively high yield of ethylene and propylene products at a reaction temperature lower than that of prior thermal cracking process. The catalysts used for catalytic pyrolysis process need to have not only the essential properties, such as good attrition resistance index and appropriate bulk density, possessed by the commercial FCC catalyst but also the disting wishing characteristics superior to the conventional FCC catalyst as follows:

(1) High Hydrothermal Stability

The reaction temperature for conventional FCC process is 460°C-520°C, and reaction for thermal cracking process is 550°C -800 °C. Although the reaction temperature for CPP is lowered because of the use of the catalyst, it is still in the range of reaction temperatures for thermal cracking process. Therefore, the catalysts used for CPP need to have high hydrothermal stability.

(2) High converting activity for cracking heavy oil or residual feedstock

As the CPP technique is a process of cracking heavy oil to obtain ethylene and propylene products, the catalysts used for the process need to have high catalytic cracking activity that can convert effectively heavy oil or residual feedstock into light olefins.

(3) Good Light Olefin Selectivity

The catalysts used for CPP need to have high yields of ethylene propylene and butylene, low yield of dry gases and adequate coke yield to maintain thermal equilibrium of reaction and regeneration unit.

The prior catalysts containing pillared clays reported in the literatures are all FCC catalysts used for carbonium-ion reaction but none for the catalytic pyrolysis reaction. For example, a pillared clay catalyst reported in the Chinese patent of CN1107080A is for use in the conventional FCC process to yield more isobutene and isoamylene products (MIO catalyst). In the catalyst of prior art, pillared rectorites prepared with a pillaring agent having a OH/Al gram mole ratio of 2.0 was used as activity component. Although the pillared clay component could improve the activity of the catalyst, it had in the meantime an adverse effect on the attrition resistance of the catalyst, hence the content of pillared clay in said catalyst of the said patent is limited to less than 50 wt %. As the amount of the active component cannot be increased, consequently, the stable activities of the prior catalyst can hardly be improved. Also, in the patent the attrition resistance index data are not shown this implies that the attrition resistance of the prior pillared clay catalysts is inferior to commercial FCC catalysts. The prior catalysts are not catalytic pyrolysis catalysts with high stable activities and good attrition resistance index, therefore they cannot be commercialized.

The Chinese patent ZL CN 96103411.4 of the present applicant discloses a poly (vinyl alcohol) modified pillared clay catalyst for yielding more light olefin products. However, it is rather a MIO catatyst used for conventional FCC process to produce isobutene and isomyalene, than catalytic pyrolysis catalyst used for CPP to produce ethylene and propylene. In the catalyst, polyvinyl alcohol-modified pillared clay vinyl alcohol can improve the activity of catalyst, but at the same time has negative effect on the attrition resistance index of the catalyst. In the patent there is also no data about attrition resistance index and catalytic pyrolysis properties of the catalyst, this implies that the catalyst does not possess good attrition resistance index and catalytic pyrolysis properties. It is impossible to withstand the severity of CPP. Up to now the catalyst has not been commercialized.

In the Chinese patent of Z L 92109775.1 the present applicant disclosed a CPP method for petroleum hydrocarbon, wherein a pillared clay catalyst for conventional catalytic cracking process, CRP-1 (commodity trademark) catalyst and a mixed ture of the above two catalysts were used. Among them, said pillared clay catalyst was a pillared rectorite catalyst containing 5 wt % USY molecular sieves prepared according to the process disclosed in Z L CN 87104718, which was only a conventional FCC catalyst; and said CRP-1 catalyst of them was prepared by using high silicon pentasil structure zeolites containing rare earth in framework (CN 1058382A), which was also used in conventional FCC process to yield more light olefin products. Although the pillared clay catalyst of the patent had an ethylene yield of over 20 wt% and the total C<maths id="math0001" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>2</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0001.tif" /></maths>-C<maths id="math0002" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>4</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0002.tif" /></maths> yields of around 50 wt% at an average reaction temperature of 700°C, it is not resulted from the catalyst after the deactivating treatment at 790 °C or 800 °C for 17 hours with 100 % steam; instead, it is only the performance of the catalyst treated at 760 °C for 6 hours with 100 % steam, indicating that the hydrothermal stability of the catalyst is impossible to meet the severity of the CPP. Up to now, no catalytic pyrolysis catalyst with good attrition resistance index, high hydrothermal stability and good selectivity to ethylene and propylene is reported in any prior arts.

The outstanding features of the present invention as compared with the prior arts are as follows: <ul id="ul0005" list-style="none" compact="compact"><li>1. The catalyst products provided by the present invention have the best ingredients and performance in the catalytic pyrolysis catalysts. The special pillared clays with high alkalized degree (OH/Al ratio of around 2.5) in the ingredients of the catalysts are adopted as principal active component. They have excellent hydrothermal stability high catalytic activity for cracking heavy oil or residual feedstock and low hydrogen transfer activity that are advantageous to retain the olefins. So, the catalysts provided by the present invention are much better than Y-zeolite catalysts used currently extensively in most refineries in respect of meeting the requirement of catalytic pyrolysis process. The ZRP or ZSM-5 series zeolite impart the said catalysts much better light olefin selectivity than that of the conventional cracking catalysts. Especially when, ZRP series or ZSM-5 zeolite compositions are used in combination with modifying components light olefin yield and hydrothermal stability can be further enhanced as well. So, after severe hydrothermal deactivating treatment the products of the present invention retain still high light olefin yield. Also, owing to the use of bonding agents modified by polyethylene glycol or compounds containing phosphorus in preparation of the catalysts, the good attrition resistance index of the catalyst is easily obtained. Therefore, in the case of increasing the contents of pillared clays and zeolites in the catalysts, the catalysts can still maintain adequate attrition resistance index as good as commercial catalysts. The rational ingredients of the catalysts in the present invention result in excellent performances of the catalyst. After aging and deactivating treatment at 790 °C for 14 hours with 100% steam, the said catalysts give an ethylene yield of 21.2 wt%, a propylene yield of 22.2 wt%, and the total C<maths id="math0003" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>2</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0003.tif" /></maths>-C<maths id="math0004" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>4</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0004.tif" /></maths> yields of 54.0 wt% under the evaluation conditions of an average reaction temperature of 700°C, catalyst to oil ratio of 10, weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 10 hours^-1, water injecting quantity to feedstock of 80wt%. However, only under easing deactivation treatment conditions into steaming treatment at 760°C for 6 hours can the prior catalyst give an ethylene yield of 21.0wt%, a propylene yield of 18.0 wt%, and the total C<maths id="math0005" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>2</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0005.tif" /></maths>-C<maths id="math0006" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>4</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0006.tif" /></maths> yields of 50 wt%. Apparently, the cataIysts of the present invention have stable activity and light olefin selectivity much better than that of prior catalysts.</li><li>2. The catalyst products of the present invention have extensive uses in the petroleum refining industry. They can be used as catalysts of hydrocarbon conversion, such as catalytic pyrolysis catalyst (CCP-Catalyst), maximum isomerization olefin catalyst ( MIO-catalyst) and fluid cracking catalyst ( FCC-catalyst). The catalysts of the present invention may be combined with various other elements by impregnating method to meet the need for special catalysts. The said catalysts can also be combined with other catalysts for use in some processes of specific objects. The said products can also be used as adsorbents and carries. However, they are especially suitable to be used as catalysts in catalytic pyrolysis process for cracking heavy oil to give the maximum yields of ethylene, propylene and butylene products.</li><li>3. Preparing procedures provided by the present invention are easy to be put into effect in commercial scale. In the prior preparing method of first spray drying to form microspheric shapes and then pillaring reaction (ZLCN87105686), due to the effect of reversible solubility of Al-sol bonding agent on attrition resistance index of microspheric catalysts, after pillaring reaction have attrition resistance index of the catalysts is usually lower than that of samples before pillaring reaction. In the preparing method of the present invention, new techniques of adding polyethylene glycol to pillaring agent or impregnating zeolites or catalysts with compounds containing phosphorus are adopted. The modifying components contribute to the improvement in the properties of Al-sol or Al-gel bonding agents. As a result, the attrition resistance index of the catalysts is improved to the level of commercial catalyst. The said method disclosed by the present invention is easy to operate and to be carried out in commercial scale.</li></ul>

The present method for promoting attrition resistance index of catalysts by adding polyethylene glycol or phosphorous-containing compounds is also suitable for preparing other microspheric catalysts containing Al-sol or Al-gel.

The following specific examples will give further illustration of the present invention, but they do not limit the scope of the present invention.

EXAMPLE 1

This example indicates that the catalysts prepared by the method of the present invention have better performance than that of the prior catalysts in the catalytic pyrolysis process.

The naturally occurring Ca-type rectorites were eoverted into RE-type rectorites in conventional ion-exchange method under the operational conditions at room temperature for an hour according to loading weight ratio of Ca-rectorite : RECl₃ : deionized H₂O =1 : 0.05 : 10.

The ZRP-1 zeolites (products of Shandong Zhoucun catalyst factory ) were impregnated with an aqueous solution containing Mg(OH)₂ of 0.2 wt% and H₃PO₄ of 0.84 wt% for 15 minutes, then filtered and dried. Thereby ZRP-1 zeolites modified by compounds containing phosphorus and magnesium was obtained.

7.75 Kg RE-type rectorites having the solid content of 64.5wt%, 7.4Kg pseudoboehmite Al (OH)₃ containing Al₂O₃ of 33.7 wt %, 4.1Kg slurry of said modified ZRP-1 zeolites with a solid content of 36 wt %, 0.62 Kg halloysites having solid content of 81 wt%, 0.69Kg commercial available HCl and 18Kg deionized H₂O were mixed stirred and spray dried according to the conventional method of preparation microspheric catalysts. Thereby microspheric semi-finished products containing rectorites of 50 wt % ZRP-1 zeolites of 15 wt %, Al₂O₃ formed from pseudoboehmite bonding agent of 30 wt % and halloysites of 5 wt % was obtained.

The aluminum-sol with Al₂O₃ content of 21.8 wt % (products of Shandong Zhoucun catalyst factory) was diluted with deionized H₂O to 98.6 milligram-atom aluminum per liter. The diluted solution was adjusted to pH of 5-6 with 3% NH₄OH and was aged at 70°C for 2.5 hours holing the pH of 5-6. The resulting solution was cooled overnight at room temperature. Thereby the AL pillaring agent with high alkalize degree was obtained.

1.1kg microspheric semi-finished products was added to 19 L aluminum pillaring agent. The mixed slurry was aged at 70°C for 2.5 hours while holding the pH of 5-6 with 3% NH₄OH so that pillaring reaction and aging process were finished. Followed by filtering, washing, drying by the conventional method and calciniting for 2 hours at 650 °C . Thereby the pillared rectorite catalysts containing pillared rectorites of 50 wt %, ZRP-1 zeolites of 15 wt %, AL₂O₃ bonding agent of 30 wt % provided in pseudoboehmite and halloysites of 5 wt % were obtained (called as sample B).

The chemical components of catalysts B measured by standard chemical method are listed in Table 1. The BET surface areas, pore volumes of the catalysts measured from low temperature N₂ adsorption method and the attrition resistant index measured by fluidized attrition method are listed in Table 2. Catalytic pyrolysis characteristics of the samples were evaluated by a fixed fluidized bed with operation conditions of Daqing paraffin with boiling range of 350-500°C, average reaction temperature of 700°C, catalyst to oil ratio of 10, WHSV of 10h^-1, water-injecting quantity to feedstock of 80 wt %. The results are listed in Table 3. The samples were deactivated at 790°C for 14 hours with 100% steam before evaluation. The data of the previous catalyst A in the patent of ZL CN920775.1 evaluated by the same evaluation conditions as compared with samples B in present invention were also listed in Table 3.

The data in Table 2 and Table 3 indicate that the catalysts of the present invention have qualified standard attrition resistant index, apparent bulk density and good catalytic properties. After deactivated treatment at 790°C for 14hours with 100% steam the catalysts have the ethylene yield of 21.16 m%, propylene yield of 22.18 m% and the total yields of the ethylene propylene and butylene of 53.96 m%. However only under easing deactivate treatment conditions into steaming treatment at 760°C for 6 hours can previous catalysts have ethylene yield of 21.12 m% propylene yield of 18.01 m% and the total yields of ethylene propylene and butylene of 50.18 m%. Obviously, the catalytic activity, hydrothermal stability and tight olefin selectivity of the catalysts in the present invention are much better than that of the previous catalysts. <tables

EXAMPLE 2

This example shows that the catalysts modified by composition cantaining P and Mg composition of the present invention have high attrition resistant index, hydrothermal stability and light olefin selectivity.

The microspheric catalysts B containing pillared interlayer rectorites of 50 wt %, ZRP-1 zeolites of 15 wt %, Al₂O₃ formed by seudoboehmite bonding agent of 30 wt % and halloysites of 5 wt % were prepared by method described in the example 1.

192 ml commercial available H₃PO₄ (H₃PO₄ ≮ 85 wt %) and 40g Mg(OH)₂ were added to 40L deionized H₂O. The mixtures were stirred till Mg(OH)₂ was dissolved completely.

1.1Kg microspheric catalysts B were added to the above solution containing phosphorus and magnesium, the mixtures were stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature, filtered, and dried at 120°C. Thereby the catalysts modified by phosphorus and magnesium were obtained (abbreviated catalyst C ).

The attrition resistant index and apparent bulk density of the samples measured according to methods described in example 1 are listed in Table 4. Catalytic characteristics of the samples were evaluated by fixed fluidized bed with same operation conditions as the example 1 except average reaction temperature of 680°C. The results are listed in Table 5. The samples were deactivated at 800°C for 17 hours with 100% steam before evaluation. In order to comparison with prior catalysts, the data of the catalysts A in the previous ZL CN 92109775.1 evaluated under the same evaluation conditions are also listed in Table 5.

The results in Table 4 and Table 5 show that attrition resistant index and catalytic properties of the catalysts in the present invention are both improved evidently. When average reaction temperature is 680°C the catalysts treated at 800°C for 17 hours with 100% steam in the present invention have still C<maths id="math0013" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>2</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0013.tif" /></maths> yield of 19.5m%, C<maths id="math0014" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>2</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0014.tif" /></maths>- C<maths id="math0015" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>4</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0015.tif" /></maths> yields of 52.45m%. versus C<maths id="math0016" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>2</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0016.tif" /></maths> yields of 18.34m% and C<maths id="math0017" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>2</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0017.tif" /></maths>- C<maths id="math0018" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>4</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0018.tif" /></maths> yields of 46.07m% by previous catalysts only under easy deactivated conditions into steaming testament at 760°C for 6 hours.

Example 3

This example indicates that catalysts modified by composition containing tin prepared by the method in the present invention have high hydrothermal stability and light olefin selectivity.

The microspheric catalysts B containing pillared interlayer rectorite of 50 wt %, ZRP-1 zeolites of 15 wt %, Al₂O₃ formed from pseudoboehmite bonding agent of 30 wt % and halloysites of 5 wt % were prepared according to the method described in example 1.

550mL SnCL₂ HCL aqueous solution with Sn concentration of 2.9g/L was diluted with deionized H₂O to 5L. 550g microspheric catalysts B calcined for 2 hours at 650°C were added to the tin solution. The slurry of mixture was stirred for 15 minuets at room temperature and then filtered, washed out free Cl^-1. The filter cake was slurried with 18L deionized H₂O again. The pH of the mixture slurry was adjusted to5-6 with 3% NH₄OH. The resulting slurry was aged at 70°C for 2.5 hours and holding the pH within the range of 5-6 and then filtered, dried. Thereby the catalysts modified by tin were obtained ( called as sample D).

The results of catalytic characteristics evaluated by a fixed fluidized bed for the samples before and after modification by tin are listed in Table 6. Deactivating conditions of the samples before evaluation and evaluation reaction conditions are the same conditions as example 2.

The data in Table 6 show that after deactivating treatment at 800°Cfor 17 hours with 100% steam, the catalysts D modified by tin have conversion of 88.36 m%, cracking gas yields of 65.14 m% versus conversion of 85.59m% and cracking gas of 63.76m% by the unmodified samples indicating that catalysts modified by tin have good hydrothermal stability. <tables id="tabl0006" num="0006"><table

Example 4

This example indicates that the catalysts modified by phosphorus and aluminum in the present invention have hydrothermal stability, light olefin selectivity, and attrition resistant index better then that of unmodified samples.

The microspheric catalysts B containing pillared interlayer rectorites of 50 wt %, ZRP-1 zeolites of 15 wt %, Al₂O₃ bonding agent formed from pseudoboehmite of 30 wt % and halloysites of 5 wt % were prepared according to the method described in example 1.

2L aluminum-sol containing Al₂O₃ of 21.8%wt and 100mL commercial available H₃PO₄ with 8L deionized H₂O were mixed. 1Kg the microspheric catalysts B calcined for 2 hours at 650°C were added to above solution of aluminum phosphate. The resulting slurry was stirred for 15 minutes, filtered and dried. The catalysts modified by phosphorus and aluminum provided in the present invention were obtained ( called as sample E ).

The data about attrition resistant index, microactivity for cracking light oil and for cracking heavy oil of the modified and unmodified samples are listed in Table 7. The samples were deactivated at 800°C for 4hours with 100% steam before the evaluation. Evaluation conditions of feedstock of Dagang light diesel oil with boiling range from 221°C to 349 °C, reaction temperature of 500 °C, catalyst to oil ratio of 3.2, WHSV of 16 h^-1 were used for evaluating microactivity for cracking light oil. The operation conditions of feedstock of Shengli vacuum paraffin with boiling range of 239-537°C, reaction temperature of 520°C, catalyst to oil ratio of 3, WHSV of 16h^-1 were used for evaluating catalytic activity for cracking heavy oil. The results evaluated by fixed fluidized bed for catalytic characteristics of the samples are listed in Table 8. Deactivating conditions of the samples before evaluation and evaluation reaction conditions are same conditions as the example 2. <tables id="tabl0007" num="0007"><table frame="all"><title>Table

The data in Table 7 and Table 8 show that attrition resistant index, hydrothermal stability and light olefin selectivity of the catalysts E modified by phosphorus and aluminum have been improved

Example 5

This example shows that according to the method in present invention adding polyethylene glycol to catalysts can effectively improve the attrition resistant index of the catalysts on premise of keeping original high cracking activity and hydrothermal stability of the catalysts.

The microspheric semi-finished product containing rectorites of 50 wt%, ZRP-1 zeolites of 15 wt %, Al₂O₃ formed from pseudoboehmite of 20 wt %, AL₂O₃ provided by aluminum-sol bonding agent of 10 wt% and halloysites of 5 wt % were prepared by means of the method described in example 1.

According to method in example 1 the pillaring agent was prepared. Followed by adding the commercial available polyethylene glycol and semi-finished product in amounts of 0.005 gram polyethylene glycol per gram rectorite clays. The reacting mixtures were aged, filtered, washed, dried and calcined for 2 hours at 650°C according to the procedures of example 1. Thereby the catalysts modified by polyethylene glycol were obtained (called as sample F).

In order to prepare an unmodified catalyst for comparison, the aluminum pillaring agent was prepared according to same procedures as samples F except that no polyethylene glycol is added.

The attrition resistant index and microactivity for cracking heavy oil of the samples modified and unmodified are listed in Table 9. The samples were deactivated at 800°C for 4 hours with 100% steam before evaluation. The evaluation conditions are the same conditions as example 4.

The data of Table 9 indicate that the attrition resistant index of the catalysts modified by polyethylene glycol is improved obviously in the case of keeping original high cracking activity and hydrothermal stability of catalysts. <tables id="tabl0009" num="0009"><table frame="all"><title>Table 9</title><tgroup cols="3" colsep="1" rowsep="1"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="52.50mm" /><colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="52.50mm" /><colspec colnum="3" colname="col3" colwidth="52.50mm" /><thead valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="center">Catalysts</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">Sample F modified by polyethylene glycol</entry><entry namest="col3" nameend="col3" align="center">unmodified Samples</entry></row></thead><tbody valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Attrition resistant index before pillaring reaction and washing %</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">1.8</entry><entry namest="col3" nameend="col3" align="center">1.8</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Attrition resistant index after pillaring reaction and washing %</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">1.7</entry><entry namest="col3" nameend="col3" align="center">3.3</entry></row><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Microactivity for cracking heavy oil m%</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">67.0</entry><entry namest="col3" nameend="col3" align="center">68.2</entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table></tables>

Using HZSM-5 zeolites (products of Shandong Zhoucun catalyst factory) instead of the ZRP-1 zeolites as the component of catalysts in example 1 and no adding halloysite component a microspheric semi-finished products containing rectorites of 50 wt %, HZSM-5 zeolites of 20 wt %, pseudoboehmite Al₂O₃ bonding agent of 30 wt % were prepared by method described in example 1.

The microspheric semi-finished products were added to aluminum pillaring agent. The resulting slurry was aged, filtered, washed, dried and calcined according to the procedures of example 1. The pillared clay catalysts containing ZSM-5 zeolites were obtained (called as catalysts G).

The catalytic characteristics of samples G were evaluated by a fixed fluidized bed according to operation conditions of Daging paraffin feedstock, average reaction temperature of 700°C, catalyst to oil ratio of 6, WHSV of 10h^-1, water injection quantity to feedstock of 80 wt %. The results are listed in Table 10. The samples were deactivated at 790°C for 14 hours with 100% steam before evaluation.

Example 7

This example shows that pillared clay catalysts without any zeolite activity composition provided by present invention still have high ethylene yield.

According to the procedures of example 1 microspheric semi-finished products containing rectorites of 75 wt % and Al₃O₂ bonding agent of 25 wt % were prepared by mixing raw clay of 75 wt %, Al₃O₂ provided by aluminum -sol of 20 wt% and Al₂O₃ formed from pseudoboehmite of 5 wt %, stirring and spray drying to take microspheric shapes. The microspheric shape samples were further dried at 300°C for 0.5 hours.

The above microspheric samples were pillared with Al-pillaring agent and then aged, filtered, washed, dried and calcined according to method described in example 1. The microspheric catalysts for increasing light olefin products that contain pillared interlayer clays of 75 wt %, Al₂O₃ bonding agent of 25 wt % were obtained (called as catalyst H).

Catalytic pyrolysis characteristics of the samples H evaluated by using conditions in example 4 are listed in Table 11. The samples were treated at 790°C for 14 hours with 100% steam before evaluation.

The results from Table 11 show that although the deactivated conditions of 790°C for 14 hours with 100% steam for the catalyst H is more severer than that of CHP-1 equilibrium catalysts its ethylene yield (18.48m%) is higher than that (17.25m%) of the CHP-1 in Table 10. <tables id="tabl0011" num="0011"><table frame="all"><title>Table 11</title><tgroup cols="10" colsep="1" rowsep="1"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="15.75mm" /><colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="15.75mm" /><colspec colnum="3" colname="col3" colwidth="15.75mm" /><colspec colnum="4" colname="col4" colwidth="15.75mm" /><colspec colnum="5" colname="col5" colwidth="15.75mm" /><colspec colnum="6" colname="col6" colwidth="15.75mm" /><colspec colnum="7" colname="col7" colwidth="15.75mm" /><colspec colnum="8" colname="col8" colwidth="15.75mm" /><colspec colnum="9" colname="col9" colwidth="15.75mm" /><colspec colnum="10" colname="col10" colwidth="15.75mm" /><thead valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col6" align="center">Product yield m%</entry><entry namest="col7" nameend="col10" align="center">Olefin yields m%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="center">Gas</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">Gasoline</entry><entry namest="col3" nameend="col3" align="center">LCO</entry><entry namest="col4" nameend="col4" align="center">Slurry</entry><entry namest="col5" nameend="col5" align="center">Coke</entry><entry namest="col6" nameend="col6" align="center">Total</entry><entry namest="col7" nameend="col7" align="center">C<maths id="math0045" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>2</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0045.tif" /></maths></entry><entry namest="col8" nameend="col8" align="center">C<maths id="math0046" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>3</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0046.tif" /></maths></entry><entry namest="col9" nameend="col9" align="center">C<maths id="math0047" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>4</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0047.tif" /></maths></entry><entry namest="col10" nameend="col10" align="center">ΣC<maths id="math0048" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>2</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0048.tif" /></maths> - C<maths id="math0049" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>4</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0049.tif" /></maths></entry></row></thead><tbody valign="top"><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="char" char=".">65.33</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">17.86</entry><entry namest="col3" nameend="col3" align="char" char=".">4.38</entry><entry namest="col4" nameend="col4" align="char" char=".">2.63</entry><entry namest="col5" nameend="col5" align="char" char=".">9.80</entry><entry namest="col6" nameend="col6" align="right">100</entry><entry namest="col7" nameend="col7" align="char" char=".">18.85</entry><entry namest="col8" nameend="col8" align="char" char=".">17.21</entry><entry namest="col9" nameend="col9" align="char" char=".">11.40</entry><entry namest="col10" nameend="col10" align="char" char=".">47.46</entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table></tables>

Example 8

This example indicates that catalysts provided by present invention can be used as not only catalytic pyrolysis catalysts but also maximum isomeric olefin (MIO) catalysts,

The catalytic pyrolysis catalysts containing pillared interlayer rectorites of 50% wt, ZRP-1 zeolites of 15%wt, Al₂O₃ bonding agent of 30%wt and halloysites of 5 wt % were prepared by the method described in example 1. The catalytic cracking properties of the samples for cracking heavy oil were evaluated by microactivity test unit with operation conditions of feedstock of Shengli vacuum paraffin with a boiling range of 239-537°C, reaction temperature of 520°C, catalyst to oil of 3.2, WHSV of 16h^-1. The results are listed in Table 12. The samples were deactivated at 800°C for 4 hours with 100% steam before evaluation. In order to compared with prior MIO catalyst the isomeric olefin selectivity of typical industrial catalysts (commodity trademark: CRP-1) evaluated in the same conditions are also listed in Table 12.

The results of Table 12 show that catalytic pyrolysis catalysts prepared by method described in example1 have iso-butene and iso-amylene yields much better than that of prior catalysts CRP-1 in catalytic cracking process. In other word, the catalysts of present invention can be used as not only catalytic pyrolysis catalysts bud also MIO catalyst for maximizing iso-butene and iso-amylene production <tables id="tabl0012"

Example 9

This example indicates that a fluid cracking catalyst for converting heavy oil into more gasoline and light cycle oil can be prepared by method of the present invention when ingredient was adjusted in the range he present invention.

According to loading weight ratio of REUSY zeolites : KH₂PO₄ : deionized H₂O =1 : 0.88 : 15, REUSY type zeolites (products of Shandong Zhoucun catalyst factory ) was modified by compounds containing phosphorus in the conventional ion exchange method. The modified REUSY zeolites contain P of 3.5 wt % and K₂O of 2.1 wt %.

Using REUSY zeolites modified by KH₂PO₄ instead of the ZRP-1 zeolites and adjusting ingredient in example 1 a FCC catalyst was prepared by method described in example 1. The microspheric catalyst contains pillared interlayer rectorite of 60 wt %, modified REUSY zeolites of 15 wt %, Al₂O₃ formed from pseudoboehmite bonding agent of 25 wt %. It is called as sample I.

The chemical components and physical properties of the catalysts measured by method described in example 1 are listed in Table 13 and Table 14. Microactivity of cracking heavy oil at different reaction temperature for the samples were evaluated by method in example 4 with evaluation conditions of 923VGO feedstock with boiling a range of 227 -475°C, catalyst to oil of 3.2, WHSV of 16h^-1, reaction temperature of 482°C or 520°C. The results are listed in Table 15 and Table 16. The samples were deactivated at 800°C for 4 hours with 100% steam before evaluation.

The data in Table 15 show that although the catalyst I of present invention contains zeolite content which is lower than that of prior commercial FCC catalysts, it has still high total conversion, low bottom and high gasoline yields. The results in Table 16 indicate further that when catalysts I contains same zeolite content as the prior commercial RHY catalysts the pillared clay catalysts I of the present invention have catalytic cracking activity, selectivities of gasoline and light cycle oil much better than that of the prior catalysts. Obviously, the pillared interlayer catalysts of the present invention are a class of new cracking catalysts that can effectively convert heavy oil into maximum gasoline and light cycle oil products.

Example 10

This example shows that the pillared clay catalysts prepared according to the method in present invention that contain ZRP-1 and REUSY zeolites modified by compounds containing phosphorus have not only qualified standard attrition resistant index and apparent bulk density, but also high catalytic activity, excellent hydrothermal stability and good light olefin selectivity in light olefin production.

According to loading weight ratio of zeolites : KH₂PO₄ : deionized H₂O =1 : 0.088 : 15, the ZPP-1 and the REUSY zeolites were respectively modified by conventional ion exchange method with operation conditions of 90°C for 1 hour and holding the pH within a range 3.0∼3.5. Thereby modified ZRP-1 containing P of 1.9 wt %, K₂O of 1.1 wt % and modified RE-USY zeolites containing P of 3.5 wt %, K₂O of 2.1 wt % were respectively obtained.

3.9Kg RE-type rectorite clays having the solid content of 63.5 wt %, 0.8Kg modified ZRP-1 zeolites with the solid content of 93.5 wt %, 0.28 Kg modified REUSY zeolites containing the solid content of 91.o wt %, 4.5Kg pseudoboehmite having the Al₂O₃ content of 33.33 wt %, 0.35Kg HCL (commercial available) and 8.2Kg deionized H₂O were mixed stirred and spray dried to take microspheric shapes by the method described in example 1. Followed by pillaring reaction according to the method in example 1.

Microactivity of the samples for cracking light gas oil was evaluated by MAT for light oil method in example 4 with evaluation conditions of feedstock of Dagang light diesel oil (221-349°C), reaction temperature of 500 °C, catalyst to oil ratio of 3.2, WHSV of 16 h^-1. The results were listed in Table 19. The catalytic activity of the samples for cracking heavy oil and the selectivities of isobutene and isoamylene are evaluated by microactivity test for cracking heavy oil in example 4 with evaluation conditions of Shengli vacuum paraffin feedstock with boiling range of 239-537°C, reaction temperature of 520°C, catalyst to oil ratio of 3, WHSV of 16h^-1. The results are listed in table 20. Catalytic pyrolysis characteristics of the samples were evaluated by fluidized bed method in example 1 with evaluation conditions of mixed feedstock of 45% Daqing paraffin and 55%Daqing vacuum residual , average reaction temperature of 663 °C, catalyst to oil of 15, WHSV of 10h^-1, water injection quantity to feedstock of 50%. The results are listed in table 21. The samples were treated at 790°Cfor 14 hours with 100% steam before evaluation.

The data in Table 17∼21 indicate that although the content of zeolites in the catalysts was increased the pillared clay catalysts J of the present invention have still good attrition resistant index. Especially the catalysts have considerable high microactivity for cracking light oil and for cracking heavy oil in the FCC process, high isobutene and isoamylene yields in the Maximizing isomeric olefin process, and high total conversion and C<maths id="math0060" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>2</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0060.tif" /></maths>∼ C<maths id="math0061" num=""><math display="inline"><mrow><mfrac linethickness="0"><mrow><mtext>=</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>4</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow></math><img file="EP0925831A2_D0061.tif" /></maths> yields in the catalytic pyrolysis process.
