Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the reduction of NO x emissions in refinery processes, and specifically in a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process.
- FCC fluid catalytic cracking
- the present invention relates to a process for the reduction of gas phase reduced nitrogen species (e.g. NH 3 , HCN) in the off gas from a fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) regenerator operating in a partial or incomplete combustion mode.
- gas phase reduced nitrogen species e.g. NH 3 , HCN
- catalyst particles are repeatedly circulated between a catalytic cracking zone and a catalyst regeneration zone.
- coke from the cracking reaction
- deposits on the catalyst particles are removed at elevated temperatures by oxidation with oxygen containing gases such as air.
- oxygen containing gases such as air.
- the removal of coke deposits restores the activity of the catalyst particles to the point where they can be reused in the cracking reaction.
- the coke removal step is performed over a wide range of oxygen availability conditions.
- gas phase reduced nitrogen species examples of which are ammonia and HCN.
- NO x may sometimes also be present in the partial burn regenerator off gas, but typically only in small amounts.
- these gas phase reduced nitrogen species are burnt in the CO boiler with the rest of the regenerator off gas, they can be oxidized to NO x , which is then emitted to the atmosphere.
- This NO x along with any "thermal" NO x formed in the CO boiler burner by oxidizing atmospheric N 2 constitute the total NO x emissions of the FCCU unit operating in a partial or incomplete combustion mode.
- FCCU regenerators may also be designed and operated in a "incomplete burn" mode intermediate between full burn and partial bum modes.
- An example of such an intermediate regime occurs when enough CO is generated in the FCCU regenerator to require the use of a CO boiler, but because the amounts of air added are large enough to bring the unit close to full burn operation mode, significant amounts of oxygen can be found in the off gas and large sections of the regenerator are actually operating under overall oxidizing conditions. In such case, while gas phase reduced nitrogen species can still be found in the off gas, significant amounts of NO x are also present. In most cases a majority of this NO x is not converted in the CO boiler and ends up being emitted to the atmosphere.
- Yet another combustion mode of operating an FCCU is nominally in full burn with relatively low amounts of excess oxygen and/or inefficient mixing of air with coked catalyst.
- large sections of the regenerator may be under reducing conditions even if the overall regenerator is nominally oxidizing. Under these conditions reduced nitrogen species may be found in the regenerator off gas along with NO x .
- U.S. Patent 4,973,399 discloses copper-loaded zeolite additives useful for reducing emissions of NO x from the regenerator of an FCCU unit operating in full CO-burning mode.

- reductants typically found in the FCCU regenerator, e.g. CO, hydrocarbons and gas phase reduced nitrogen species
- the process of the invention provides a reduction in NO x in the regenerator prior to the NO x exiting the regenerator and being passed through the CO boiler and into the environment.
- the process of the invention comprises providing a circulating inventory of cracking catalyst in a catalytic cracking vessel having a regeneration zone operated in a partial or incomplete combustion mode, with an oxidative catalyst/additive composition having the ability to oxidize gas phase reduced nitrogen species emissions to molecular nitrogen under catalytic cracking conditions, and circulating the oxidative catalyst/additive composition throughout the cracking vessel simultaneously with the cracking catalyst inventory during the catalytic cracking process.
- the process is a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process wherein the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) regenerator is operated in a partial or incomplete combustion mode.
- FCC fluid catalytic cracking
- the oxidative catalyst/additive is circulated throughout the FCCU along with the FCC catalyst inventory in a manner such that the residence time of the catalyst/additive composition in the FCCU regenerator relative to the residence time of the FCC cracking catalyst is the same or substantially the same.
- the process of the invention provides for a decrease in the content of gas phase reduced nitrogen species in the flue gas released from an FCCU regenerator operating in a partial or incomplete burn mode.
- the flue gas having the reduced content of reduced nitrogen species is passed to a CO boiler.
- a CO boiler As CO is oxidized to CO 2 , a lower amount of the gas phase reduced nitrogen species is oxidized to NO x , thereby providing an increase in the overall reduction of NO x emissions from the FCCU.
- gas phase reduced nitrogen species e.g. NH 3 and HCN
- the fine sized elutriated decomposition catalyst particles are captured by a third stage cyclone separator and recycled to the regenerator of the FCCU.
- the decomposition catalyst may be a noble group metal dispersed on an inorganic support.
- U.S. 4,744,962 is illustrative of a post-treatment process to reduce ammonia in the FCCU regenerator flue gas.
- the post-treatment involves treating the regenerator flue gas to lessen the ammonia content after the gas has exited the FCCU regenerator but before passage to the CO boiler.
- a catalytic cracking process has been developed which reduces the content of gas phase reduced nitrogen species, e.g. NH 3 and HCN, in the flue gas released from a partial or incomplete bum regeneration zone of the catalytic cracking unit prior to exiting the regenerator and before passage to a CO boiler.
- gas phase reduced nitrogen species e.g. NH 3 and HCN
- the process of the invention converts gas phase reduced nitrogen species to molecular nitrogen during the catalytic cracking process in the presence of CO and other reductants and oxidizers typically found in the regeneration zone operated in partial bum, thereby preventing the conversion of the reduced nitrogen species to NO x in the CO boiler.
- gas phase reduced nitrogen species e.g. NH 3 and HCN

- Another advantage of this invention is to provide improved FCC processes characterized by a reduction of gas phase reduced nitrogen species in the effluent gas stream passed from the FCC regenerator to a CO boiler, which process eliminates the need and expense of additional processing equipment and steps hereto proposed in the post-treatment of the regenerator flue gas after exiting the FCCU regenerator.
- Another advantage of this invention is to provide improved FCC processes characterized by a reduction in the overall NO x emissions due to the reduction of gas phase reduced nitrogen species in the effluent gas stream passed from the FCC regenerator to a CO boiler.
- Another advantage of the present invention is to provide improved FCC processes characterized by a reduction in the overall NO x emissions due to the use of additives for reduction of gas phase reduced nitrogen species in the effluent gas stream passed from the FCC regenerator to a CO boiler, in combination with a "low NO x " CO boiler (that is one designed for low thermal NO x generation), thereby resulting in even lower overall NO emissions than achievable with the use of the additive alone.

Examples of gas phase reduced nitrogen species include, but are not limited to, ammonia (NH 3 ), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), and the like.
- the content of NO x emitted during an FCC process operating in a partial or incomplete combustion mode is effectively brought to a lower and more acceptable level by reducing the amount of gas phase reduced nitrogen species present in the flue gas of the FCCU regenerator prior to passage of the gas to the CO boiler, where as CO is oxidized to CO 2 a lesser amount of the reduced nitrogen species, e.g. NH 3 and HCN, is oxidized to NO x and emitted into the atmosphere.
- a lesser amount of the reduced nitrogen species e.g. NH 3 and HCN
- the reduction of the gas phase reduced nitrogen species is accomplished by contacting the circulating cracking catalyst inventory with an amount of an oxidative catalyst additive sufficient to reduce the content of the reduced nitrogen species in the regenerator off gas while the additive is circulated throughout the FCCU simultaneously with the circulating catalyst inventory.

- the gas phase reduced nitrogen species can be oxidized to a nitrogen oxide, most likely NO.

- An Additive A was prepared using the base material prepared in Example 1. 80g of the base material was placed in an inclined beaker on a mechanical rotator. A platinum impregnation solution was prepared by weighing out 0.1715g of a platinum tetramine dihydroxide aqueous solution containing 22.79% platinum and diluting with Dl water to lOOg total. The base material was then impregnated by gradually spraying with 50g of the dilute Pt solution through an air mist spray nozzle system. The wet impregnated base material was dried in an oven at 120°C over night.
- the dried cake was in the form of large chunks and was first ground in a blender and screened before calcining at 650°C for two hours to decompose the nitrates and remove volatiles.
- the resulting material contained: 72.5% Al 2 O 3 , 4.4% SiO 2 , 5% Na 2 0, 18.8% CeO 2 , 331 ppm Pt, and had a BET surface area of 135 m 2 /g and a mean particle size of 58 ⁇ m.
- An Additive B was prepared as described in Example 2 with the exception that the platinum impregnation solution prepared was diluted with Dl water to 50g total and the base material was then impregnated by gradually spraying with all of the latter dilute Pt solution through an air mist spray nozzle system.
- the resulting material contained: 72.8% Al 2 O 3 , 4.4% SiO 2 , 5.1% Na 2 0, 17% CeO 2 , 688 ppm Pt, and had a BET surface area of 141 m 2 /g and a mean particle size of 58 ⁇ m.
- Additive C was prepared in accordance with U.S. Patent 6,280,601 Bl.
- the additive had the following analyses: 5.8% total volatiles, and approximately SiO 2 4.9%, Na 2 O 4.9%, CeO 2 21.2%, Al 2 O 3 68.7%, 970 ppm Pd, and BET surface area of 167 m 2 /g and a mean particle size of 90 ⁇ m.
- the cracking catalyst alone or blended with an additive was then fed to the RTU reactor operating at 700 °C.
- the gas feed to the reactor was a mixture of NH 3 and CO containing 5000 to 5500 ppm CO, approximately 600 ppm NH 3 , various amounts of O 2 added as 4% O in N , and the balance N 2 .
- the total gas feed rate excluding the O 2 containing gas feed was 1000-1100 seem.
- the platinum on alumina CO combustion promoter, CP-3 ® was tested at 0.25 % additive level. Results are recorded in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 below.
- FIG. I shows that at low levels of oxygen, which simulates partial bum, the use of platinum and palladium containing additives, Additives A, B, and C, were highly effective in reducing ammonia when compared to the activity of the cracking catalyst alone or the platinum-containing combustion promoter, CP-3 ® .
- FIG. 2 shows that under partial bum conditions the additives exhibited increased activity to reduce the ammonia to molecular nitrogen thereby preventing the conversion of the ammonia to NO x . No other nitrogen oxides, e.g., NO 2 or N 2 O were detected, indicating the conversion of NH 3 to molecular nitrogen.
- Example 5 The experiment was conducted as in Example 5 except that the gas mixture fed to the reactor contained approximately 1000 ppm NH 3 and 500-550 ppm NO x as well as various amounts of oxygen with the balance N 2 . Results were recorded in
- NH 3 reacts with O 2 to form N 2 or NO x .
- NH 3 can also react in the gas phase with NO x in a non-catalytic process that is often used for NO x abatement.
- FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show, that in accordance with the process of the invention, Additives A, B, and to a lesser extent, C showed enhanced conversion of ammonia and NO x to molecular nitrogen at low oxygen levels. No other nitrogen oxides, e.g., NO 2 or N 2 O were detected, indicating the conversion of NH 3 to molecular nitrogen.
- Figure V show that at low oxygen levels simulating partial bum, the Additives A, B and C are more effective than catalyst alone or the platinum based combustion promoter, CP-3 ® , to remove NO x .
