An important direction in the evolution of reforming of low-octane naphtha cuts is conducting the process without hydrogen at atmospheric or low pressure on metal-oxide catalysts. There are studies of this direction [1,2] in which the results of converting the low-octane, 85-180°C naphtha cut in an entrained-flow unit in a stationary bed of mechanical mixtures of catalysts. The mixtures consisted of zeolite-aluminosilicate, Al -Co -Mo -O and Al -Ni -Mo -O catalysts, and types ZVK-H and ZVM-H zeolites. Reformates with a motor octane number (MON) of 76-84 are obtained with these catalysts. The catalysts worked stably for 3 h. Their activity then smoothly diminished due to accumulation of coke deposits. At the same time, the selectivity in the yield of reformate increased by 10-15 wt. %.The coked catalyst mixture was regenerated in an air stream at 450-500°C for 3 h. The initial activity was fully restored as a result. We investigated reforming of the naphtha cut in the gas -solid system in a reactor with a fluidized bed of a mixture of powdered Z-10 and Al -Co -Mo -O catalysts for creating small units that operate without stopping for regeneration of coked catalyst. This will allow eliminating nonproductive expenditures of time for stopping and starting up the units and creating more favorable conditions for their operation and control. Hydrogenate from the hydrotreating unit at Moscow Oil Refinery Co. with the following physicochemical properties was used as the feedstock:
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
