Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of light diesel production, and in particular to a method for hydrogenating low-quality oil. Background Art
[0002] Against the backdrop of increasingly stringent global environmental protection requirements and growing pressure to reduce carbon emissions, the limitations of traditional fossil fuels are becoming increasingly prominent. At the same time, the gradual depletion of easily exploitable resources is prompting the oil and fuel industry to accelerate its transformation towards high-quality, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly products, and to actively explore the diversification of renewable raw materials. However, this diversification of raw materials also brings new challenges. Compared with traditional petroleum-based raw materials, emerging renewable and waste-derived raw materials such as waste grease, waste cooking oil, sewage oil, rancid oil, bio-asphalt, waste plastic oil, waste tire oil, waste lubricating oil, wood tar, coal tar, and heavy oil generally have high oxygen content, high acid value, enriched metal impurities, and excessive nitrogen and sulfur content, placing higher demands on processing technology and catalyst systems.
[0003] At present, when the industry uses traditional hydrotreating and cracking processes to treat the above-mentioned raw materials, low efficiency, easy coking, clogging, catalyst corrosion and contamination leading to loss of activity, and poor product quality are prone to occur. Even if cumbersome raw material pretreatment technologies such as desalination, water washing, pickling, adsorption, and filtration are used, a large amount of energy consumption and waste will be generated. It is still difficult for hydrogenation equipment to completely overcome the influence of impurities and cannot operate stably for a long period of time.
[0004] The prior art discloses a combined hydrorefining method for inferior distillate oil, which comprises hydrorefining a catalytic cracking diesel fraction and hydrorefining a coking distillate oil. The effluents from the hydrorefining and hydrorefining reactions are fed into a separation system together. This method reduces the content of impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen in the product while maintaining a high diesel yield. However, the product yield is low, the resource recovery effect is unsatisfactory, and the metal impurities in the inferior oil cannot be removed, thereby affecting the activity of the catalyst in the system. This not only results in a high impurity content in the final product, but also makes the system unable to operate stably for a long time. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect of low recovery rate of inferior oil in the prior art, thereby providing a hydrotreating process for inferior oil.
[0006] Another technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect that the prior art method for treating inferior oil cannot effectively remove impurities, especially metal impurities, in inferior oil, thereby providing a hydrogenation process for inferior oil.
[0007] To this end, on the one hand, the present invention provides a method for hydrotreating low-quality oil, comprising the following steps: mixing the low-quality oil with a hydrocracking reaction product, hydrorefining, stripping and desulfurizing, and fractionating the mixture to obtain light diesel, light cycle oil, and heavy cycle oil; the hydrocracking reaction product is a cycle oil formed by subjecting the light cycle oil and the heavy cycle oil to a hydrocracking reaction, and during the hydrorefining, the porosity of the hydrorefining catalyst in the reaction system is 50-80%.
[0008] The present invention utilizes a large void catalyst to refine low-quality oil. After the organic solid metal brought by the low-quality oil is converted into inorganic metal, it passes through a reactor and enters a fractionating tower together with the oil product. Qualified light products are separated by distillation at the top of the fractionating tower. Unqualified products are separated into two types of light and heavy circulating oils in the fractionating tower. Among them, the heavy circulating oil is filtered and separated by centrifugation to remove solid residual value and asphaltene, and then mixed with the light circulating oil to form circulating oil. After the mixed circulating oil is mixed with hydrogen, it is heated by a heating furnace and enters a cracking reactor. The cracked product is mixed with fresh raw materials, that is, untreated low-quality oil, and then enters a large void ratio hydrorefining reactor for reaction. The process provided by the present invention adopts a large void ratio solid catalyst as a refining catalyst to remove most impurities and solid pollutants. The unqualified circulating oil is further hydrocracking and mixed with the raw materials to enter a crude reaction refining, thereby realizing long-term processing of low-quality oil products such as easy coking, high oxygen content, high metal content, high sulfur and nitrogen content, improving product quality and light oil yield, and extending process service life.
[0009] When traditional hydrorefining and cracking processes process raw materials, it is easy to have low efficiency, easy coking, clogging, catalyst corrosion, catalyst contamination and loss of activity, poor product quality and the like. Even if cumbersome raw material pretreatment technologies such as desalting, washing, pickling, adsorption, and filtration are used, not only a large amount of energy consumption and waste are generated, but the hydrogenation unit is still difficult to completely overcome the influence of impurities and cannot operate stably for a long period of time. The treatment method provided by the present invention effectively combines hydrorefining with circulating oil hydrocracking using a large void catalyst and optimizes the separation process. It can achieve efficient step-by-step utilization of temperature and heat, clean and separate pollutants, and continuously and stably produce clean products in a single system. This process can better solve the problem of processing inferior raw materials faced by traditional hydrogenation processes and catalysts, and achieve long-term operation while obtaining high-quality products.

[0029] The invention provides an application of light diesel in renewable fuel or bio-jet fuel.
[0030] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:
[0031] 1. The present invention provides a method for hydrotreating low-quality oil, comprising the steps of mixing low-quality oil with a hydrocracking reaction product, refining, desulfurizing, and fractionating to obtain light diesel, light cycle oil, and heavy cycle oil; wherein the hydrocracking reaction product is obtained by subjecting the light cycle oil and heavy cycle oil to a hydrocracking reaction, and during refining, the voidage of the catalyst in the reaction system is 50-80%. The tolerance of the hydrogenation process to raw material impurities directly affects the stability of the system, the life of the catalyst, and the quality of the product. The present invention utilizes a catalyst with large voids as a catalyst during refining, which not only improves the adaptability of the reaction system to low-quality oil raw materials, but also significantly improves the yield of the product and further reduces the impurity content in the product. In particular, the present invention uses the product of the hydrocracking reaction of the fractionated light cycle oil and heavy cycle oil as the hydrocracking reaction product, which not only improves the recovery rate of low-quality oil resources, but also effectively reduces the impurity content in the product.
[0032] 2. The present invention provides a method for hydrotreating low-quality oil, wherein the hydrorefining catalyst comprises at least one of a gear-type, Raschig ring-type, hollow plum-shaped, or four-impeller-type catalyst. The present invention selects at least one of the gear-type, Raschig ring-type, hollow plum-shaped, or four-impeller-type catalyst as the hydrorefining catalyst, which can improve the adaptability of the reaction system to low-quality oil, increase reaction efficiency, accelerate the reaction process, and effectively reduce the impurity content in the product.
[0033] 3. The present invention provides a method for hydrotreating low-quality oil, wherein the hydrorefining catalyst in the reaction system comprises at least three shapes. By selecting catalysts of different shapes, the porosity can be increased, the contact area of the catalyst can be taken into account, and the utilization rate can be improved. Furthermore, the catalysts also have good strength and can improve the throughput rate of the material.
[0034] 4. The present invention provides a method for hydrotreating low-quality oil, wherein the heavy cycle oil obtained after fractionation treatment is subjected to solid-liquid separation and then to a hydrocracking reaction, wherein the solid-liquid separation includes centrifugation and filtration. The present invention separates the low-quality oil into light diesel, light cycle oil, and heavy cycle oil by reacting the low-quality oil with the hydrocracking reaction product. The light cycle oil does not contain impurities such as asphalt and metals, and relatively pure cycle oil can be obtained by solid-liquid separation of the heavy cycle oil. This not only simplifies the separation steps of impurities, especially metal impurities, but also effectively reduces the impurity content. Furthermore, by reducing the content of metal impurities in the mixed oil, the activity of the catalyst is maintained, the stability of the reaction system is improved, and the service life of the reaction system is extended.
[0035] 5. The present invention provides a method for hydrotreating low-quality oil, wherein the temperature of the heavy cycle oil is lowered to 100-120°C before solid-liquid separation. By lowering the temperature of the heavy cycle oil to 100-120°C, the present invention improves the fluidity of the heavy cycle oil, facilitating solid-liquid separation. Furthermore, the high-temperature treatment further removes water from the heavy cycle oil, further reducing impurities.
[0036] 5. The present invention provides a method for hydrotreating low-quality oil. Before hydrorefining, the low-quality oil temperature is 100-250°C, the temperature of the hydrocracking reaction product is 340-420°C, and the temperature during the refining reaction is 230-390°C.

[0041] The catalyst in the embodiment of the present invention is the hydrogenation catalyst provided in Example 7 of the specification of publication number CN117463311A.
[0042] Example 1
[0043] See also Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for hydrotreating low-quality oil, and the specific steps and methods are as follows:
[0044] (1) Using catering slop oil as raw oil, heating the slop oil to 150°C, mixing it with a hydrocracking reaction product at 390°C and hydrogen, and then the temperature after mixing is 245°C. The slop oil enters a large-void refining first reactor and a large-void refining second reactor for refining reaction. The catalysts in the large-void refining first reactor and the large-void refining second reactor are, in order from top to bottom, a hollow plum blossom catalyst with a void ratio of 80%, a Raschig ring catalyst with a void ratio of 70%, and a four-leaf catalyst with a void ratio of 50%. The wheel-type catalyst has 5 catalyst beds, and the volume ratio of the total catalyst loading to the sewage oil is 4:1. Among them, the volume ratio of the hollow plum blossom-type catalyst with a porosity of 80%, the Raschig ring-type catalyst with a porosity of 70%, and the four-impeller-type catalyst with a porosity of 50% is 20:40:20. The metal content in the sewage oil is 180ppm, the oxygen content is 11wt%, the sulfur content is 350ppm, the nitrogen content is 280ppm, the water content is 500ppm, and the phosphorus content is 60ppm.
[0045] (2) The refined product obtained after being treated in the large-void refining first reactor and the large-void refining second reactor is subjected to heat exchange treatment, and then passed through a stripping tower to remove hydrogen sulfide acid gas, and then passed into a fractionating tower. The fraction at 175-330°C in the middle of the fractionating tower is used as a light diesel product, the fraction at 330-360°C in the lower part of the fractionating tower is used as a light circulating oil, and the fraction at more than 360°C at the bottom of the fractionating tower is used as a heavy circulating oil. The temperature of the heavy circulating oil is reduced to below 120°C, and the heavy circulating oil is passed through a centrifugal separator (2500 rpm, 10 min) to remove asphaltene and metals. The heavy circulating oil is then filtered through a ceramic filter with a pore size of 5 nanometers to reduce the metal content of the heavy circulating oil to 8 ppm.
[0046] (3) Light cycle oil and heavy cycle oil are mixed to obtain mixed oil. After heat exchange treatment, the temperature of the mixed oil is 335°C. The mixed oil is mixed with hydrogen (purity of 99 vol%), wherein the volume ratio of light cycle oil to heavy cycle oil is 9:1, and the volume ratio of hydrogen to mixed oil is 800:1. The mixed oil is passed into a heating furnace and heated to 360°C. The mixed oil is then passed into a hydrocracking reactor for cracking reaction (the catalyst is a silicon-aluminum catalyst) with a cracking rate of 30%. The outlet temperature of the hydrocracking reactor is 370°C. The cracked cycle oil is mixed with the sewage oil raw material. The process comprises the following steps: combining the raw materials of the large-void refining reactor and the large-void refining reactor, adding circulating hydrogen, adding the circulating hydrogen to the hogwash oil at a volume ratio of 1500:1, and the volume of the circulating oil being twice that of the inferior oil. The temperature at the inlet of the large-void refining reactor first and the large-void refining reactor second is controlled to be 245° C., and sequentially introducing the mixture of the circulating oil, hogwash oil raw material, and hydrogen into the large-void refining reactor first and the large-void refining reactor second for refining reaction. After heat exchange treatment, the mixture is introduced into a fractionating tower after removing the hydrogen sulfide acid gas in a stripping tower to obtain light diesel. The heavy circulating oil and the light circulating oil continue to perform this step and circulate with the hogwash oil.
[0047] The yield of light biodiesel obtained in this embodiment is 84% (yield of light biodiesel = mass of light biodiesel / mass of feedstock oil × 100%); the quality indicators of light biodiesel meet the test results of NB / T10897-2021 "hydrocarbon-based biodiesel" and the metal content in light biodiesel is ≤1ppm (analysis method is ICP-AES), oxygen content is ≤200ppm (analysis method is EN 17351); aromatic hydrocarbon content is <0.1wt% (analysis method is SH / T 0806), sulfur is ≤5ppm (analysis method is SH / T 0689), nitrogen content is ≤3ppm (analysis method is SH / T 0657); the stable operation cycle of the whole system can reach 2 years. The obtained light biodiesel can be used as a high-quality renewable fuel for transportation vehicles, and can also be used to produce bio-jet fuel in subsequent supporting heterogeneous depressing units.

The mixed temperature is 260°C and the oil enters a large-void refining first reactor and a large-void refining second reactor for refining reaction. The catalysts in the large-void refining first reactor and the large-void refining second reactor are, from top to bottom, a Raschig ring catalyst with a void ratio of 70%, a gear catalyst with a void ratio of 65%, and a four-impeller catalyst with a void ratio of 55%. The catalyst bed is 6 The volume ratio of the total loading amount of the catalyst to the waste plastic pyrolysis oil is 2.5:1, among which the volume ratio of the Raschig ring catalyst with a porosity of 70%, the gear type catalyst with a porosity of 65% and the four-impeller type catalyst with a porosity of 55% is 20:40:20, and the metal content of the pyrolysis oil is 65ppm, the oxygen content is 1.2wt%, the sulfur content is 217ppm, the nitrogen content is 642ppm, the water content is 60ppm, the phosphorus content is 1.5ppm, the olefin content is 28%wt, and the aromatic hydrocarbon content is 13%wt.
[0051] (2) The refined product obtained after treatment in the first large-void refining reactor and the second large-void refining reactor is subjected to heat exchange treatment and removal of hydrogen sulfide acid gas, and then passed into a fractionating tower. The fraction at 175-330°C in the middle of the fractionating tower is used as light diesel product, the fraction at 330-360°C in the lower part of the fractionating tower is used as light cycle oil, and the fraction at more than 360°C at the bottom of the fractionating tower is used as heavy cycle oil. The heavy cycle oil is passed through a centrifuge (1900 rpm, 15 minutes) below 90°C to remove asphaltene and metals, and then enters a ceramic filter for filtration to reduce the metal content of the heavy cycle oil to 4 ppm.
[0052] (3) Light cycle oil and heavy cycle oil are mixed to obtain mixed oil. After heat exchange treatment, the temperature of the mixed oil is 325°C. The mixed oil is mixed with hydrogen (purity of 99 vol%), wherein the volume ratio of light cycle oil to heavy cycle oil is 9:1, and the volume ratio of hydrogen to mixed oil is 1200:1. The mixed oil is passed into a heating furnace and heated to 340°C. The mixed oil is then passed into a hydrocracking reactor for cracking reaction. The cracking rate is 60%. The outlet temperature of the hydrocracking reactor is 415°C. The cracked cycle oil is mixed with the pyrolysis oil raw material and added to the circulating oil. The volume ratio of hydrogen, circulating hydrogen and pyrolysis oil is 2000:1, the volume of circulating oil is twice the volume of the waste plastic pyrolysis oil raw material, and the temperature at the inlet of the large-void refining first reactor and the large-void refining second reactor is controlled at 260°C. The mixture of circulating oil, sewage oil raw material and hydrogen is sequentially introduced into the large-void refining first reactor and the large-void refining second reactor for refining reaction. After heat exchange treatment and removal of hydrogen sulfide acid gas, the mixture is introduced into a distillation tower to obtain light diesel. The heavy circulating oil and the light circulating oil continue to perform this step and circulate with the pyrolysis oil.

The slop oil enters a large-void refining first reactor and a large-void refining second reactor for refining reaction. The catalysts in the large-void refining first reactor and the large-void refining second reactor are, in order from top to bottom, a hollow plum blossom catalyst with a void ratio of 80%, a Raschig ring catalyst with a void ratio of 70%, and a four-leaf catalyst with a void ratio of 50%. The wheel-type catalyst has 5 catalyst beds, and the volume ratio of the total catalyst loading to the sewage oil is 2:1. Among them, the volume ratio of the hollow plum blossom-type catalyst with a porosity of 80%, the Raschig ring-type catalyst with a porosity of 70%, and the four-impeller-type catalyst with a porosity of 50% is 20:40:20. The metal content in the sewage oil is 180ppm, the oxygen content is 11wt%, the sulfur content is 350ppm, the nitrogen content is 280ppm, the water content is 500ppm, and the phosphorus content is 60ppm.
[0078] (2) The refined product obtained after being treated in the large-void refining first reactor and the large-void refining second reactor is subjected to heat exchange treatment, and then passed through a gas stripping tower to remove hydrogen sulfide acid gas, and then passed into a fractionating tower, and the fraction at 175-330°C in the middle of the fractionating tower is used as a light diesel product, the fraction at 330-360°C in the lower part of the fractionating tower is used as a light circulating oil, and the fraction at more than 360°C at the bottom of the fractionating tower is used as a heavy circulating oil. The temperature of the heavy circulating oil is reduced to below 120°C, and the heavy circulating oil is passed through a centrifugal separator (2000 rpm. 20 min) to remove asphaltene and metals, and then filtered through a ceramic filter with a pore size of 5 nanometers to reduce the metal content of the heavy circulating oil to 8 ppm.
[0079] (3) Light cycle oil and heavy cycle oil are mixed to obtain mixed oil. After heat exchange treatment, the temperature of the mixed oil is 320°C. The mixed oil is mixed with hydrogen (purity of 99 vol%), wherein the volume ratio of light cycle oil to heavy cycle oil is 8:2 and the volume ratio of hydrogen to mixed oil is 800:1. The mixed oil is passed into a heating furnace and heated to 360°C. The mixed oil is then passed into a hydrocracking reactor (the catalyst is a silicon-aluminum catalyst) for cracking reaction. The cracking rate is 40%. The outlet temperature of the hydrocracking reactor is 415°C. The cycle oil after cracking treatment is a hydrocracking product. The product is mixed with hogwash oil feedstock, and circulating hydrogen is added. The volume ratio of circulating hydrogen to hogwash oil is 2000:1. The volume of circulating oil is three times that of inferior oil. The temperature at the inlet of the first and second large-void refining reactors is controlled at 330°C. The mixture of circulating oil, hogwash oil feedstock, and hydrogen is sequentially introduced into the first and second large-void refining reactors for refining reaction. After heat exchange treatment to remove hydrogen sulfide acid gas, the mixture is introduced into a fractionating tower to obtain light diesel. The heavy circulating oil and light circulating oil continue to perform this step and circulate with the hogwash oil.

The slop oil enters a large-void refining first reactor and a large-void refining second reactor for refining reaction. The catalysts in the large-void refining first reactor and the large-void refining second reactor are, in order from top to bottom, a hollow plum blossom catalyst with a void ratio of 80%, a Raschig ring catalyst with a void ratio of 70%, and a four-leaf catalyst with a void ratio of 50%. The wheel-type catalyst has 5 catalyst beds, and the volume ratio of the total catalyst loading to the sewage oil is 5:1. Among them, the volume ratio of the hollow plum blossom-type catalyst with a porosity of 80%, the Raschig ring-type catalyst with a porosity of 70%, and the four-impeller-type catalyst with a porosity of 50% is 20:40:20. The metal content in the sewage oil is 180ppm, the oxygen content is 11wt%, the sulfur content is 350ppm, the nitrogen content is 280ppm, the water content is 500ppm, and the phosphorus content is 60ppm.
[0084] (2) The refined product obtained after being treated in the large-void refining first reactor and the large-void refining second reactor is subjected to heat exchange treatment, and then passed through a gas stripping tower to remove hydrogen sulfide acid gas, and then passed into a fractionating tower.

The temperature of the heavy circulating oil is reduced to below 120°C, and the heavy circulating oil is passed through a centrifugal separator (2500 rpm, 10 min) to remove asphaltene and metals. The heavy circulating oil is then filtered through a ceramic filter with a pore size of 5 nanometers to reduce the metal content of the heavy circulating oil to 8 ppm.
[0085] (3) Light cycle oil and heavy cycle oil are mixed to obtain mixed oil. After heat exchange treatment, the temperature of the mixed oil is 340°C. The mixed oil is mixed with hydrogen (purity of 99 vol%), wherein the volume ratio of light cycle oil to heavy cycle oil is 8:2, and the volume ratio of hydrogen to mixed oil is 800:1. The mixed oil is heated to 360°C in a heating furnace and then enters a hydrocracking reactor for cracking reaction (the catalyst is a silicon-aluminum catalyst). The cracking rate is 38%, and the outlet temperature of the hydrocracking reactor is 350°C. The cycle oil after cracking treatment is a hydrocracking product. The product is mixed with a hogwash oil feedstock, and circulating hydrogen is added. The volume ratio of circulating hydrogen to hogwash oil is 2000:1, and the volume of circulating oil is 1 times that of the inferior oil. The temperature at the inlet of the large-void refining reactor (1) and the large-void refining reactor (2) is controlled at 280°C. The mixture of circulating oil, hogwash oil feedstock, and hydrogen is sequentially introduced into the large-void refining reactor (1) and the large-void refining reactor (2) for refining reaction. After heat exchange treatment to remove hydrogen sulfide acid gas, the mixture is introduced into a fractionating tower to obtain light diesel. The heavy circulating oil and light circulating oil continue to perform this step and circulate with the hogwash oil.
