Spent catalyst regeneration with internal and external regenerated-catalyst recycle means
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5253884
An apparatus is described for the oxidation of coke from a spent fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst and for the essentially complete conversion of carbon monoxide resulting from the oxidation of coke to produce regenerated catalyst and spent regeneration gas. The apparatus comprises in combination and particular arrangement a spent-catalyst receiving chamber for containing a dense-bed of fluidized catalyst in which chamber spent catalyst is oxidized to produce regenerated catalyst and partially spent regeneration gas; a transfer conduit through which said gas and said catalyst pass and in which carbon monoxide is essentially completely converted to carbon dioxide to produce spent regeneration gas and regenerated catalyst at an increased temperature; an internal regenerated-catalyst recycle means by which a portion of hot regenerated catalyst can be recycled from the transfer conduit to the spent-catalyst receiving chamber; a regenerated-catalyst receiving chamber for containing a dense-bed of regenerated catalyst and in which spent regeneration gas and regenerated catalyst are separated; and, an external regenerated-catalyst recycle means by which a portion of hot regenerated catalyst can be recycled from the regenerated-catalyst receiving chamber to the spent-catalyst receiving chamber.
