A family of highly charged crystalline microporous metallophosphate molecular sieves designated PST-17 has been synthesized. These metallophosphates are represented by the empirical formula of:

R.sup.p+.sub.rA.sub.m.sup.+M.sub.xE.sub.yPO.sub.z

where A is an alkali metal such as potassium, R is a quaternary ammonium cation such as ethyltrimethylammonium, M is a divalent metal such as zinc and E is a trivalent framework element such as aluminum or gallium. The PST-17 family of molecular sieves are stabilized by combinations of alkali and organoammonium cations, enabling unique metalloalumino(gallo)phosphate compositions and exhibit the BPH topology. The PST-17 family of molecular sieves has catalytic properties for carrying out various hydrocarbon conversion processes and separation properties for separating at least one component.

An integrated process for producing para-xylenes may include catalytically reforming a naphtha feed stream; separating the reformate stream into a C.sub.1-C.sub.7 hydrocarbon stream and a C.sub.8+ hydrocarbon stream; exposing the C.sub.1-C.sub.7 hydrocarbon stream to a first solvent in a solvent extraction unit to form a non-aromatic hydrocarbon stream and an aromatics stream; upgrading the aromatics stream to form a toluene-rich transalkylation feed stream; separating the C.sub.8+ hydrocarbon stream into a C.sub.9+ hydrocarbon stream, a para-xylene stream and a xylene isomer stream; dealkylating the C.sub.9+ hydrocarbon stream; separating the dealkylation product stream into an additional xylene stream and a tri-methyl benzene rich stream; and upgrading the toluene-rich transalkylation feed stream and the tri-methyl benzene rich stream with a hydrogen stream to produce an alkyl-benzene stream and additional xylene stream, wherein a ratio by weight of the toluene-rich transalkylation feed stream to the tri-methylbenzene rich stream is from 0.3 to 3.

A process for producing light olefins comprising thermal cracking. Hydrocracked streams are thermally cracked in a steam cracker to produce light olefins. A pyrolysis gas stream is separated into a light stream and a heavy stream. A light stream is separated into an aromatic naphtha stream and a non-aromatic naphtha stream. The aromatics can be saturated and thermally cracked. The integrated process may be employed to obtain olefin products of high value from a crude stream.

Processes using mid-column reboilers in at least one benzene separation columns to reduce the heat duty in alkylation processes are provided. The feed to the aromatics removal zone may exchange heat in a mid-column reboiler in the benzene separation column in the alkylbenzene separation zone followed by exchanging heat in a mid-column reboiler in the benzene separation column in the aromatics removal zone. This arrangement minimizes the hot oil duty on the reboilers in both benzene separation columns.

Alkylate is produced by supplying iso-C.sub.4+ hydrocarbon feed to an alkylation reactor, and by further selectively supplying to the alkylation reactor an olefin selected from the group consisting of refinery grade propylene (RGP) and polymer grade propylene (PGP), and combinations thereof. The olefin feed is controlled such that the proportion of PGP supplied through the olefin feed inlet exceeds that of RGP for a predetermined time interval, using a special purpose computer programmed to optimize the allocation of PGP between alkylation production and a commodity market in order to increase total net profit margin.

A process for converting high boiling hydrocarbon feedstock into lighter boiling hydrocarbon products in which the lighter boiling hydrocarbon products are suitable feedstock for petrochemical processes.

A process and a plant for producing olefins from oxygenates such as methanol and/or dimethyl ether are proposed, in which initially the oxygenates are converted to a primary product containing propylene, other olefins, paraffins and aromatics in an olefin synthesis reactor. The primary product is separated into hydrocarbon fractions of different C chain length, wherein short-chain olefins such as propylene are obtained and beside further fractions there is also obtained a C.sub.7 fraction which contains C.sub.5/C.sub.6 olefins, as well as a C.sub.7+ fraction which contains aromatics. From the latter, the aromatics are separated and alkylated with the C.sub.5/C.sub.6 olefins to obtain alkyl aromatics. The same are hydrogenated completely and recirculated to the olefin synthesis reactor, where they likewise are converted to short-chain olefins.

This invention relates to a molecular sieve, especially a SCM-1 molecular sieve or SCM-2 molecular sieve of the MWW family as represented in FIGS. 1 and 2. As compared with a prior art molecular sieve, the molecular sieve according to this invention exhibits improved catalytic performance and good service life and regeneration performance. The molecular sieve can be produced with a simplified procedure, under mild operation conditions, with less energy and material consumption and fewer side reactions, with a high product purity at low cost and a high yield. This invention further relates to a process for producing these molecular sieves and use thereof as an adsorbent or a catalyst.
