Disclosed are a method and a system for producing bio-derived aromatic hydrocarbons from a renewable resource. More particularly, the disclosure provides for the co-location of a biomass reactor unit and an aromatization reactor unit to produce benzene from a renewable source such as plant mass. Hexane produced from cellulose in the biomass reactor unit can be converted to benzene in the aromatization reactor unit and hydrogen produced in the aromatization reactor unit can be used in the biomass reactor unit. Also described is the use of a mixture of bio-derived hexane produced from cellulose and naphtha in an aromatization process.

The present disclosure relates in its first aspect to a process of converting a stream comprising methane into chemicals, said process being remarkable in that it comprises the steps of providing a first stream (1, 5, 11) comprising methane, providing a second stream (79) which is a bromine-rich stream, putting into contact said first stream (15) with said second stream (79) to obtain a third stream (21) comprising at least unreacted methane, methyl bromide, dibromomethane, and hydrogen bromide and removing said dibromomethane from said third stream (21), to produce a dibromomethane stream (103) and a fourth stream (27) comprising unreacted methane, methyl bromide and hydrogen bromide; wherein the fourth stream (27) is converted into chemicals. In its second aspect, the present disclosure concerns an installation for carrying out the process of the first aspect.

A method is disclosed for producing small crystal, high aluminum content zincoaluminosilicate crystalline materials having the SSZ-41 framework structure. The compositions made according to that method, as well as uses of the same, are also disclosed.

A continuous mixing reactor has an outer shell having a cylindrical portion with a central section and two opposite conical end sections; a circulation tube within the shell so that an annular passage forms between the shell and the circulation tube; an impeller within and positioned adjacent to one end of the circulation tube; and heat exchange means penetrating the outer shell and extending into the end of the circulation tube opposite the impeller. The outer shell has a hydraulic head forming one end of the shell, a heat exchange medium header at the opposite end of the shell. The circulation tube nearer the heat exchange medium header terminates at or downstream from a tangential plane extending through the shell at the intersection of the central section and the conical end section of the cylindrical portion of shell. The reactor is useful in an alkylation process.

This disclosure describes enantiomerically enriched chiral molecular sieves and methods of making and using the same. In some embodiments, the molecular sieves are silicates or germanosilicates of STW topology.

The disclosure related to processes for the high-selectivity conversion of olefins to monocyclic aromatic compounds, such as BTX, via the introduction of a weakly coordinating compound to a dehydroaromatization catalyst. Moreover, certain embodiments relate to processes for recycling polyaromatic compounds back to a reactor to improve the yield of said monocyclic aromatic compounds. Moreover, certain embodiments relate to processes for regenerating the dehydroaromatization catalyst.

The invention relates to the conversion of paraffinic hydrocarbon to oligomers of greater molecular weight and/or to aromatic hydrocarbon. The invention also relates to equipment and materials useful in such conversion, and to the use of such conversion for, e.g., natural gas upgrading. Corresponding olefinic hydrocarbon is produced from the paraffinic hydrocarbon in the presence of a dehydrogenation catalyst containing a catalytically active carbonaceous component. The corresponding olefinic hydrocarbon is then converted by oligomerization and/or dehydrocyclization in the presence of at least one molecular sieve catalyst.

The present invention relates to the field of fine chemical industry. Specifically disclosed are a method for synthesizing 2-methylpyridine from aniline, and a method for selectively and continuously producing 2-methylpyridine and diphenylamine from aniline. The method comprises: in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere, enabling aniline and a catalyst to undergo a contact reaction at a temperature of 100-400 C., wherein the catalyst is zeolite carrying a metal component, and the metal component comprises an active metal component selected from at least one of W, Mo, Ni, and Co; controlling the temperature of the contact reaction to be 100-240 C. to obtain a product mainly consisting of 2-methylpyridine; and controlling the temperature of the contact reaction to be 260-400 C. to obtain a product mainly consisting of diphenylamine.

A process provides a tops stream K containing more than 85% by weight of 2,4,4-trimethylpent-1-ene, wherein both an isomerization of 2,4,4-trimethylpont-2-ene to 2,4,4-trimethylpont-1-ene and a distillation to obtain the tops stream K are performed. The isomerization is at least partially fed with the bottoms stream of the distilation where a tops stream K is withdrawn overhead.
