A catalyst regeneration method to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve selectivity

Abstract

The invention discloses a catalyst regeneration method used for reducing carbon dioxide release and improving selectivity. The catalyst regeneration method comprises following steps: a carbon-containing catalyst is subjected to partial regeneration in a first regenerator using pure oxygen, and then is delivered into a second regenerator, which is arranged under the first regenerator, via an outer circulation pipe so as to remove residual coke via combustion using pure oxygen; the catalyst processed via the first regenerator is delivered into an outer heat supplying device, is cooled and is delivered back to the second regenerator; most smoke is subjected to cyclone separation, and then is delivered into a smoke energy recovery system, and a carbon dioxide separating system successively, and is collected after carbon dioxide separation, and a small amount of smoke is recycled to the bottom of the second regenerator; and an obtained regenerated catalyst is cooled and activated using a catalyst, and is delivered into a reactor for recycling. The catalyst regeneration method is capable of realizing complete regeneration of the catalyst, reducing carbon release greatly, and even realizing zero carbon release. Catalyst activity distribution is more uniform, so that catalytic cracking product coke yield and dry gas yield are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for regenerating carbon-containing catalysts in hydrocarbon processing. More specifically, the present invention relates to a catalyst regeneration method for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and improving catalyst selectivity in the heavy oil catalytic cracking process. Background technique [0002] Today, the development of the global oil refining industry is facing many challenges such as oil price fluctuations, the trend of worsening crude oil quality, improved oil product quality specifications, stricter requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction, and the rapid development of biofuels. Reducing carbon dioxide emissions and mitigating climate change have become the key factors for the oil refining industry to transform the economy. The way of growth and the only way to maintain sustainable development. In October 2009, the country announced the action goal of controlling greenhouse gas emissions,...

Problems solved by technology

For example, the highest activity recovery of the regenerated catalyst can be achieved during regeneration, but when the regenerated catalyst participates in the reaction, it may cause high coke and dry gas yields due to its high activity, which is undesirable
