Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of preparation of aromatic hydrocarbons, and in particular to a method for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons from raw gas containing carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and logistics containing aromatic hydrocarbons. Background Art
[0002] Aromatic hydrocarbons play an indispensable role in the national economy, and traditional production routes rely on non-renewable resources such as petroleum. With petroleum resources becoming increasingly scarce, a growing number of researchers are dedicated to developing new routes for aromatic hydrocarbon production to reduce dependence on petroleum resources. Carbon dioxide is widely present in nature, and the greenhouse effect caused by large amounts of carbon dioxide emitted through processes such as fuel combustion and biological respiration is a serious environmental problem. Carbon dioxide capture and catalytic conversion technologies can be used to produce chemicals such as aromatic hydrocarbons using carbon dioxide as a carbon source, realizing the resource utilization of carbon dioxide. This not only reduces carbon emissions and alleviates environmental pressures, but also serves as a sustainable resource alternative.
[0003] Routes for converting carbon dioxide to aromatics include Fischer-Tropsch-like synthesis routes and conversion routes via methanol intermediates. The former converts carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide via the reverse water-gas shift reaction, which is then converted to hydrocarbon products via the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction. However, since the product distribution in this process follows the Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution, the selectivity of aromatic products is low. Another indirect synthesis route based on a methanol platform can draw on existing mature processes, but the production route is longer and the equipment investment is higher in actual production. To overcome the shortcomings of these two routes, a catalyst with carbon dioxide hydrogenation activity is coupled with a catalyst with aromatization activity, achieving a one-step conversion of carbon dioxide to aromatics with high selectivity.
[0004] CN110496639 and Nature Communications 2018, 9, 3457, respectively, reported on zinc-aluminum spinel coupled with acidic molecular sieve catalysts, achieving nearly 80% aromatics selectivity in a CO2 conversion system. ACSCatalysis 2019, 9, 895, achieved 34% CO2 conversion and 76% aromatics selectivity in a chromium oxide / ZSM-5 system. Modification of the molecular sieve can increase the BTX content, but at the expense of some activity and selectivity.
[0005] CN107840778A provides a method for producing aromatic hydrocarbons by hydrogenating carbon dioxide. The method utilizes an iron-based and modified or partially modified molecular sieve catalyst as a composite catalyst. This method for producing aromatic hydrocarbons by hydrogenating carbon dioxide improves the single-pass CO2 conversion rate, increases the selectivity of C5+ hydrocarbons and the selectivity of aromatic hydrocarbons in C5+ hydrocarbons, but has no significant effect on the specific distribution effect of aromatic hydrocarbons.
[0006] In general, multifunctional catalysts based on methanol synthesis can achieve high aromatics selectivity, but the regulation of aromatics distribution remains a challenge. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problem of difficulty in regulating the distribution of aromatic hydrocarbons in the prior art of preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by hydrogenation of carbon dioxide, and to provide a method for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons from a feed gas containing carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

In the prior art, the selectivity of C6-C8 aromatic hydrocarbons is increased by improving the molecular sieve, but this places extremely high demands on the catalyst. However, there are few reports on improving the selectivity of C6-C8 aromatic hydrocarbons in the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide. 9+ Related processes for aromatics selectivity and proportion. In addition, in the existing technology, many studies have shown that the selectivity of aromatics will be reduced when regulating the distribution of aromatics.

[0010] The second aspect of the present invention provides an aromatic hydrocarbon-containing stream obtained by the above method.
[0011] Preferably, the C 9+ Aromatic hydrocarbons account for 70-90 mol% of the total aromatic hydrocarbons.
[0012] Preferably, in the aromatics-containing stream, the proportion of C9 aromatics in the total aromatics is not less than 60 mol%.
[0013] The method for producing aromatics from feed gas containing carbon dioxide and hydrogen and the logistics containing aromatics of the present invention have at least the following advantages:
[0014] It can regulate the distribution of aromatics in the logistics containing aromatics, especially it can increase the C 9+ The proportion of aromatics in the total aromatics, while achieving the regulation of aromatics distribution, the method of the present invention can also obtain a higher carbon dioxide conversion rate and aromatics selectivity.

For numerical ranges, the endpoints of each range, the endpoints of each range and individual point values, and the individual point values can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered to be specifically disclosed herein.
[0021] A first aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing aromatic hydrocarbons from a feed gas containing carbon dioxide and hydrogen, the method comprising: a feed gas A containing carbon dioxide and hydrogen and a feed gas B containing carbon dioxide and hydrogen are subjected to countercurrent contact reaction in a bed filled with at least n stages of catalyst to obtain a flow containing aromatic hydrocarbons; wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 3; the catalyst in the catalyst bed comprises a metal oxide and a molecular sieve; and along the flow direction of the feed gas A, the temperature of the catalyst bed increases step by step from the first stage to the n-1 stage, and the temperature of the n-1 stage catalyst bed is lower than the temperature of the n-1 stage catalyst bed.
[0022] According to the present invention, those skilled in the art will understand that "countercurrent contact" means that raw gas A and raw gas B enter the reactor from opposite directions of the reactor filled with a catalyst bed, and then contact in the catalyst bed to obtain a logistics containing aromatic hydrocarbons and lead out through the bottom of the reactor. In order to prevent the backflow of raw gas A / B, a one-way valve may be provided on the pipeline for introducing raw gas A / B. For example, raw gas A enters the reactor from the upper part or top of the reactor, and raw gas B enters the reactor from the lower part or bottom of the reactor; or raw gas A enters the reactor from the lower part or bottom of the reactor, and raw gas B enters the reactor from the upper part or top of the reactor; wherein the structure of the reactor is a commonly used structure in the art. In order to realize the introduction and withdrawal of various materials in the present invention, pipelines and valves can be provided on the reactor as needed, and the present invention has no special limitation on this.
