Problems solved by technology

At present, natural gas is mainly burned directly as a fossil fuel, and further processing is less than 10% of synthetic chemical raw materials
However, the reaction uses a mixed feed of methane and oxygen, which has poor safety and is likely to cause deflagration
In addition, oxygen is fed concentratedly from the bottom of the fluidized bed, and the concentration of oxygen in the lower part of the bed is too high, resulting in a large amount of exothermic reaction, resulting in an excessively large axial temperature gradient.
And the presence of a large amount of oxygen will also lead to CO and CO 2 A large number of non-selective products such as generation, resulting in C 2+ Low selectivity to hydrocarbons
The product cannot be removed in time, causing deep oxidation of ethylene, resulting in low ethylene yield

Abstract

The invention discloses a reaction device and method for preparing ethylene by oxidative coupling of methane. The reaction device includes a riser, an oxidizer, a stripper, a pre-stripper, a pre-lift section, and a cyclone separator; the reaction device adopts the method of separate feeding of methane and oxygen, multi-mode operation, and flexibly controls the flow rate of oxygen. supply, realizing the flexible control between the two reaction mechanisms. There is no contact between oxygen and methane in the feed; after the reaction, products such as ethylene are directly drawn from the reactor without mixing with oxygen. The reactor and the oxidizer are coaxially arranged, wherein the reactor is at the lower part, the oxidizer is at the upper part, and the riser is used as the reactor for the reaction. The invention realizes the complete separate feeding of oxygen and methane in the process of methane oxidative coupling reaction, eliminates the contact between the product and oxygen, avoids the deep oxidation of the product, reduces the generation of non-selective products, and effectively improves the selectivity of ethylene and yield.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petrochemical industry, in particular to a reaction device and method for producing ethylene by oxidative coupling of methane. Background technique [0002] Natural gas is cheap and abundant, and it can replace oil as the main energy source and chemical raw material. Methane is the main component of natural gas, accounting for 70% to 90%. At present, natural gas is mainly burned directly as a fossil fuel, and further processing is less than 10% of synthetic chemical raw materials. Oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is an important way to produce ethylene by non-petroleum route. Its reaction steps are simple, and it has the advantages of short process and good economy. At present, it has become the research focus of direct conversion of methane. [0003] In 1982, Union Carbide Corporation proposed for the first time that ethylene could be produced by direct oxidative coupling of methane. The oxidative ...
