Abstract

The invention relates to a method for removing mercaptan in liquefied petroleum gas through catalysis. The method comprises the following steps: mixing liquefied petroleum gas with hydrogen, allowing an obtained mixture to enter a fixed bed reactor and contact with a catalyst in the fixed bed reactor for thiolation and allowing mercaptan in the liquefied petroleum gas to react with active unsaturated hydrocarbon in the liquefied petroleum gas under the action of the catalyst so as to produce a high-boiling point thioether compound, wherein a part of dialkene is selectively saturated and monoolefine is not saturated, so a liquefied petroleum gas mixture is obtained; and allowing the reacted liquefied petroleum gas mixture to enter a distillation column for distillation and separating a liquid petroleum gas fraction from the high-boiling point thioether compound so as to obtain a liquefied petroleum gas product without mercaptan. The method provided by the invention employs the catalytic reaction between raw materials to remove mercaptan without introduction of an auxiliary agent for participation in the reaction, has a high mercaptan removal rate and no discharge of alkaline residue and simplifies conventional process for removal of mercaptan in liquefied petroleum gas.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for catalytic desulfurization of liquefied petroleum gas and a reactive distillation system, belonging to the technical field of desulfurization and purification of liquefied petroleum gas. Background technique [0002] Liquefied petroleum gas is one of the important petroleum processing products. It can be used as an efficient clean fuel, and can be separated to obtain propylene and C4 fractions, which can be used as raw materials for olefin polymerization, etherification and alkylation. However, liquefied petroleum gas contains high concentrations of sulfides such as hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans. These sulfides have adverse effects on the subsequent processing and utilization of liquefied petroleum gas and environmental protection. Therefore, it is very necessary to desulfurize liquefied petroleum gas. . [0003] The sulfides contained in liquefied petroleum gas are mainly hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide and m...
