Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of comprehensive utilization of C10+ heavy aromatics, and relates to a method for producing high-value products by lightening C10+ heavy aromatics, and specifically to a method for producing the high-value product BTX from C10+ heavy aromatics. Background Art
[0002] C10+ aromatics primarily originate from naphtha catalytic reforming, catalytic cracking, and steam cracking processes. Their composition is highly complex, primarily consisting of monocyclic aromatics, along with smaller amounts of tricyclic aromatics and cycloalkanes. Currently, there are no promising utilization pathways or target markets. Some companies directly separate high-value chemical products such as durene, unsymmetrical tetramethylbenzene, naphthalene, and methylnaphthalene, but these contain relatively low levels of aromatics. Others use them as feedstock for diesel hydrotreating to increase diesel production, but this processing is challenging and affects the diesel product's cetane number and jet fuel smoke point, making them uneconomical. Therefore, companies urgently need resourceful solutions for the recovery of C10+ heavy aromatic tail oil.
[0003] CN201910977804.X adopts a two-stage conversion scheme: C10+ heavy aromatic hydrocarbon feedstock oil is first subjected to selective hydrogenation saturation reaction under mild conditions, and the obtained hydrogenation saturated product is then subjected to hydrocracking reaction to obtain a logistics including C6~C8 aromatics, C9 / C10 heavy aromatics and C10+ heavy aromatics; the heavy tail oil fraction containing C10+ heavy aromatics after separation of the hydrocracking product is recycled back to the hydrogenation saturation reaction.
[0004] CN104357083A discloses a method for producing light aromatics from C10+ heavy aromatics. Similar to traditional refinery-type hydrocracking processes, pre-hydrogenation and hydrocracking reactors are directly connected in series to produce light aromatics or high-octane gasoline blending components. The pre-hydrogenation reaction achieves selective saturation of condensed-ring aromatics. The hydrocracking catalyst is derived from one or more of β molecular sieve, Y molecular sieve, and mordenite supported with precious metals such as Pt and Pd.
[0005] The C10+ heavy aromatics processing methods disclosed in the prior art have the problems of many aromatics condensation side reactions, obvious carbon deposition, short catalyst life or many aromatics saturation side reactions and high aromatic loss rate. Summary of the Invention

Implementation Method
[0021] In an embodiment of the present invention, the preparation method of the modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve or modified Beta molecular sieve comprises the following steps:

[0029] Furthermore, in step (1), the specific treatment process in the hydrothermal process is: placing a commercially available molecular sieve in a hydrothermal furnace, introducing water vapor, and treating it at a temperature of 400°C to 600°C and a pressure of 0.05 to 0.2 MPa for 1 hour to 3 hours.
[0030] Furthermore, in step (2), the pore protection solution is one or more of isopropylamine solution, tetraethylammonium hydroxide solution, tetrapropylammonium hydroxide solution, etc. The concentration of the pore protection solution is 0.8-2.0 mol / L, preferably 1.1-1.5 mol / L.
[0031] Furthermore, in step (2), the impregnation is preferably equal volume impregnation. The impregnation temperature is room temperature, generally 20-25°C.
[0032] Furthermore, in step (3), the highly sterically hindered organic acid is one or more of 2,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid and 2,5-dimethylbenzoic acid.
[0033] Furthermore, in step (3), the specific operation is as follows: first, the material obtained in step (2) is mixed with water, wherein the liquid-to-solid volume ratio of water to the material obtained in step (2) is 2:1 to 6:1, and then an organic acid is added until the pH value of the solution drops below 8, preferably 6.5 to 7.5.
[0034] Furthermore, in step (4), the dealuminized siliconizing agent is at least one of an ammonium hexafluorosilicate solution and an ethyl orthosilicate solution.

[0041] The following examples and comparative examples are used to further illustrate the effects and benefits of the technical solutions of the present invention. However, the following examples do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] In the present invention, % involved in the embodiments and comparative examples are all mass fractions unless otherwise specified.
[0043] In the present invention, the total acid content is determined by the following method: the powdered catalyst is pressed into pellets, evacuated, and then degassed at 450°C for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, a pyridine molecule with a kinetic diameter of 5Å is used as a probe molecule. The infrared spectrum of chemical desorption is measured and the adsorption amount is calculated. Because the diameter of the pyridine molecule is smaller than the pores of the molecular sieve, this method can determine the total acid content.
[0044] In the present invention, the method for determining the amount of external acid in the micropores is as follows: a powdered catalyst is pressed into a pellet, evacuated, and then degassed at 450°C for 2 hours. After the temperature is cooled to room temperature, a 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine molecule is used as a probe molecule, and its chemical desorption infrared spectrum is measured to calculate the adsorption amount. Because the diameter of the 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine molecule is larger than the micropores of the molecular sieve, this method can determine the amount of external acid in the micropores.
[0045] In this invention, pore volume and micropore volume were measured by physical adsorption using an ASAP 2420 low-temperature liquid nitrogen physical adsorption instrument manufactured by MICROMERITICS (USA). Prior to measurement, the sample was calcined at 550°C for 4 hours to remove the template. During testing, the sample was pretreated at 300°C for 3 hours and then subjected to nitrogen adsorption at 77K.
[0046] The calculation formula for the conversion rate of C10+ heavy aromatics in the embodiment is:
[0047] Conversion rate = mass of all fractions below 195°C in the product / mass of raw materials * 100%
[0048] The BTX selectivity calculation formula in the embodiment is:
[0049] BTX selectivity = mass of C6~C8 in the product / mass of all fractions below 195℃ in the product * 100%
