Conversion of C19–C38n-paraffins into components of kerosene and diesel fuels on Pt-containing amorphous aluminosilicate

Resumo

The behavior of Pt-containing catalysts based on mesoporous amorphous aluminosilicate in the process of hydroconversion of C₁₉–C₃₈n-paraffins with the goal to produce diesel and kerosene fractions with improved cold flow properties was investigated. These systems were characterized by high efficiency and selectivity in the process of producing diesel and kerosene fractions. A 91% degree of conversion was achieved with a yield of liquid hydrocarbons of 76% (320°C, volume feed rate 0.5 h^–1, molar ratio hydrogen: feed = 600: 1, pressure 50 atm). The initial freezing point of the isolated kerosene fraction was below minus 50°C, and the cold filter plugging point of the diesel fraction was minus 34°C.
