8 Claims. (Cl. 208-212) The present invention relates to the preparation of fuels adapted to be used in internal combustion and jet engines. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of jet fuels that are thermally stable and less subject to deteriorative changes and deposit formation than are presently available by conventional preparations.
In the operation of both internal combustion and jet engines, a serious problem existing at the present time is the formation of engine deposits, in which fuels play an important role. Furthermore, particularly in jet engines, a further problem arises in the plugging of fuel filters at low temperatures. Carbonaceous deposits in the combustors of a jet engine are very undesirable in that they disrupt the desired fuel spray patterns in the combustors, cause warping of the liners and thus reduce the amount of power that can be generated. Furthermore, jet fuels must be thermally stable as they are circulated through a heat exchanger with the oil from the engine; if unstable constituents are present, the heat exchangers, screens and nozzles in the fuel system become clogged with the polymeric material formed, thus causing malfunctioning of the engine.
The military services have set up a number of jet fuel specifications in which an effort has been made to define fuels that minimize deposit formation and other difiiculties that have been encountered in the operation of jet aircraft. Specification of three such fuel types are given in Table I.
Jet fuels for use in commercial aircraft are normally obtained by segregating selected refinery streams boiling in the naphtha and kerosene range, preferably having substantial paraflinic content. These fuels are not stable enough for use in supersonic aircraft because of the extremely high heat stability required. Treating methods employed for stabilizing hydrocarbons for normal service have not been found satisfactory for stabilizing jet fuels. thermally stable jet fuel. Such processes are not only expensive, but entail substantial product losses and are not suited for large scale plant production.
It has now been found that highly satisfactory thermally stable jet fuels may be prepared by treating selected hydrocarbon distillates boiling in the range of 200 to 600 F. with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as cobalt molybdate, molybdenum disulfide or molybdena supported on alumina where the proportion of CoMoO M05 or M varies from 5 to 25% and the alumina or alumina-silica base varies from 95 to 75%. In this step the temperature is in'the range of 300-750 F., the pressure may be in the range of 50-1000 p.s.i.g., the feed rate may be varied from 0.5 to v./hr./v. and the amount of hydrogen may vary from 50-6000 s.c.f./b. The product flom this treatment is then either stripped with nitrogen or other inert gas, or caustic washed to remove hydrogen sulfide, or both, and treated with an adsorbent material such as activated diatomaceous earth or other Only servere acid treating has produced a adsorbent material such as activated carbon or alumina.

The oil is treated with 1.0 to 10% by weight of the adsorbent material. The jet fuel is then separated from the adsorbent material by decanting, filtering or centrifuging. The resulting jet fuel is exceptionally thermally stable.
In accordance with the flow sheet of the present invention, -a selected petroleum feedstock containing hydrocarbons which boil in the heavy naphtha and kerosene range is passed via line 2 to a conventional hydrotreating unit 4, and is there treated with hydrogen under the conditions enumerated heretofore.
The hydrotreating catalysts that-can be employed in the hydrofining include 5-15% molybdena oxide on activated alumina, mixtures of cobalt oxides (2-6 Wt. percent) and molybdenum oxides (6-15 wt. percent), an equivalent amount of cobalt molybdate on activated alumina, and other sulfur resistant hydrogenation catalysts such as those of the nickel tungsten sulfide type and unsupported molybdenum disulfide.
Regeneration of the fixed bed catalyst may be required periodically, depending largely upon the nature of the feed stock. This regeneration is conveniently carried out at a temperature of about 750-1000 F., with an oxygencontaining gas.
In the hydrotreating operation, the oil and hydrogen are contacted with catalyst by continuous flow through vessel 4 packed with catalyst. The oil feed to the reactor is preheated to the required temperature by means of a furnace or similar means. Hydrogen may or may not be heated prior to feeding to the reactor depending on the quantity used. The degree of' contact of oil saturated with hydrogen with the catalyst is determined by the ratio of the oil flow rate to the catalyst volume.
From hydrotreating zone 4 the liquid is passed via line 6 to stripper 8 to remove residual H 8, which is an undesirable constituent in jet fuels. Alternatively or in addition, the hydrotreated product may be caustic washed to remove acidic sulfur. The sulfur-free hydrocarbon product, cooled to a temperature belowabout 100 F. in cooler 12 is passed via line 10 to an adsorption zone 14.
. It isimportant that adsorption be carried out in the liquid phase. Vapor phase adsorption will not provide the thermally stable jet fuel. In zone 14 the liquid is contacted in a slurry with 1 to' of an adsorbent. The temperature in zone 14 is in therange of 60 to 100 'F., and
' substantially any high surface area adsorbenusuchas activated diatomaceous earth, other siliceous material, char, alumina, zeolites and the like, may be employed. The oil may be treated with 1.0 to 10% by weight of the adsorbent. a
The jet fuel is then separated from the adsorbent material by decantation, filtration or centrifuging and is withdrawn through line 16. 'Theresulting fuel is thermally stable." 7 a a 7 a a The advantages of the present invention will be better understood by reference to the following examples:
Exa mp le Specifications defining'the'necessary levels of thermal stability of jet fuel which Lcanibe determined on a labora-. tory scale are based on the CFR fuel coker rig, a device for measuring fuel thermal stability. High stability jet fuelsfo'f the JP-j-Sj aind JP-6' typqhave a specification of a CFR fuel coker merit ratingof500. The CFR fuel coker is essentially a scaled down version of a full scale turbo engine fuel system which simulates the fuel/oil heat exchanger and combustor nozzle of a jet engine. Fuel is pumped at predetermined rates through a hot heat- The substantially improved-product employing the combinationsteps is immediately apparent; Thus it can be seen from the above table that the individual treating steps described have not been effective in producing a thermally stable jet fuel. Evenon the kerosene which had a 230 merit rating untreated it was necessary to use an oleum treat of 59 lb./bbl. to obtain a stable fuel.
Even higher acid treating'would be necessary to stabilize the other sample of kerosene. These high acid treats are expensive and not suited to large scale plant production! 0 Example 2 v To demonstrate the-importance of liquid phase adsorption, further experimental work was carried out "'1 rating of this fuel was only 405, a value lower than'spe'ciexchanger tube which simulates the hot fuel line sections of the engine. The fuel then passes through a heated 20 micron metal filter section wlgrich represents the nozzle area orsmall fuel passages in the hot section of the engine where fuel degradation products may become trapped.

I d-another modification of the present invention, the hydrotreating step is carried out with a low surface area catalyst having good hydrogenation activity. Normal treating catalyst may contain from .75 to alumina or silica alumina base.
This material is active as an isomerizing agent for 7 hydrocarbon materials and capable at the temperatures employed of forming hydrocarbon products which. will 7 polymerize and, therefore, be less thermally stable than before treating as for example, the isomerization and dehydrogenation of tetralin to methyl-indene. Use of a catalyst having a very low surface area'and not contain: ing alumina or silica avoids thisreaction. Such catalysts as unsupported molybdenum disulfide or nickel tungsten' sulfide are superior for hydrotreating a jet fuel for thermal stability for two reasons. They do not have the isomerization activity of alumina supported catalysts and they have greater hydrogenation activity. The greater hydrogenation activity is beneficial in that the hydrogenated products-have a lowered smoking tendency' This is a characteristic that is to be desired in jet fuels. What'is claimed is: 1. An improved process for refining a hydrocarbon fuel to produce a highly thermally stable product which comprises segregating a refining stream boiling in the range of about 200-600" F. and containing sulfur, catalytically hydrotreating said stream in the presence. ofa
