Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of chemical industry and petrochemical industry, and specifically relates to a liquid-phase hydrogenation reactor and a hydrogenation process. Background technique [0002] Liquid phase hydrogenation technology is a new type of hydrogenation technology, which is to dissolve hydrogen in the raw material oil in advance, and to meet the hydrogenation required by the hydrogenation reaction through a large amount of liquid phase circulation, which overcomes the hydrogen diffusion in the conventional trickle bed hydrogenation reaction Due to the influence of mass transfer, the hydrogenation reaction is carried out in the kinetic control zone. Therefore, compared with the traditional fixed-bed gas / liquid / solid three-phase hydrogenation process, the liquid phase hydrogenation process has a fast hydrogenation reaction rate and a high reaction rate. High efficiency, low energy consumption, low investment and many other advanta...

Problems solved by technology

However, the following problems still exist in the conventional downflow liquid-phase hydrogenation reactor and reaction process: (1) The concentration of reactants in the fresh material in the early stage of the reaction is high, the hydrogen content is high, the driving force of the reaction process is large, and the initial activity of the catalyst is also high , and the contact between the material and the catalyst in the liquid-phase hydrogenation process is relatively sufficient, so there are problems such as severe reaction heat release, large temperature rise, and difficult control of the process; (2) In the later stage of the reaction, due to the high reaction temperature, if it is still The hydrogenation reaction occurs on the active catalyst, causing the problems of fast reaction rate, side reaction and cracking reaction. Therefore, a catalyst with appropriate activity should be used in the later stage of the reaction to control the reaction rate and improve the reaction yield. (3) Since the late stage of the reaction is still a liquid-phase hydrogenation reaction process, the gas products generated by the reaction are still dissolved in the liquid material, that is, the conventional reaction is adopted in the liquid-phase hydrogenation reaction process It is difficult to separate by the stripping method of the reactor, which requires a large stripping surface area. If the reaction gas is not...
