Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of desulfurization agent preparation, and particularly relates to a desulfurization adsorbent for light olefins and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of petrochemicals, light olefins (such as ethylene, propylene, butene, etc.) are important basic raw materials for synthesizing polymer materials such as plastics, rubber, and fibers. However, in production processes such as petroleum cracking, coal chemical industry, or biomass conversion, light olefins are often accompanied by the generation of sulfur-containing compounds (such as hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, sulfides, thiophenes, etc.). These sulfides not only lead to irreversible poisoning of catalysts in subsequent polymerization reactions and reduce product purity, but also corrode production equipment and increase environmental protection treatment costs. Therefore, the development of efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly desulfurization and purification technologies is a key link in improving the quality of light olefins, extending catalyst life, and achieving green chemical production.

[0003] Currently, common desulfurization technologies used in industry include catalytic hydrodesulfurization, oxidative desulfurization, and adsorption desulfurization. Adsorption has attracted considerable attention due to its mild operating conditions, low energy consumption, and simple process flow. Commonly used desulfurization adsorbents in industry include activated carbon, metal oxides, and molecular sieves.

[0004] Activated carbon has a rich pore structure, and its pore structure distribution and surface properties are key factors affecting its desulfurization performance. Modification of activated carbon can improve its adsorption capacity. Chinese patents CN112320797A, CN103495407, CN101954284, CN105056882A, CN112354518A, CN107837787A, CN103521195A, CN105903324A, CN107583636A, CN105080488B, and CN102031141B prepare activated carbon using different raw materials and processes, and then modify it to produce activated carbon desulfurizers that can be used to remove sulfides from hydrogenation products and various gases. However, even modified activated carbons have drawbacks such as low sulfur content, non-renewability, and easy desorption after adsorption.

[0005] Metal oxides (such as zinc oxide) have excellent thermodynamic properties when reacting with hydrogen sulfide, and have high desulfurization accuracy, making them a commonly used fine desulfurizer. Chinese Patent CN103769043 discloses a gas desulfurization adsorbent, its preparation method, and application. The adsorbent uses an M41S series mesoporous material as a carrier, zinc oxide as the active component, and is supplemented with a promoter, calcium oxyacid salts, and VB / VIB group metal oxides. The adsorbent can effectively remove sulfides at high temperatures. Chinese Patent CN101485954B discloses a zinc oxide desulfurizer composed of 40-90% zinc oxide, 5-50% copper oxide, and 0-20% binder. It can remove hydrogen sulfide at room temperature with high removal accuracy. Chinese Patent CN102961959B discloses a zinc oxide fine desulfurizer prepared by mixing and extruding activated zinc oxide, high-alumina powder, bentonite, calcium hydroxide, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. This catalyst can remove H2S from liquid propylene to as low as 0.03 ppm at room temperature. U.S. Patent No. 13395834B discloses a method for removing hydrogen sulfide from hydrocarbon streams, utilizing zinc oxide to react with hydrogen sulfide to reduce the hydrogen sulfide content in the feedstock to a certain level. However, this type of desulfurizer only adsorbs hydrogen sulfide and has no effect on organic sulfides such as carbonyl sulfide and mercaptans. Furthermore, zinc oxide desulfurizers typically achieve optimal desulfurization capacity at temperatures above 300°C, significantly reducing their sulfur capacity at ambient temperature and pressure.

[0006] Molecular sieve desulfurization is a technology that uses porous materials to selectively adsorb sulfides from gases or liquids. It is suitable for purification processes such as natural gas, refinery gas, and biogas. Common desulfurization molecular sieves include A, ZSM-5, X, and Y molecular sieves, which can selectively adsorb hydrogen sulfide and polar organic sulfides based on their polarity and pore size. Chinese patent CN114146682A discloses a regenerable adsorbent for hydrogen sulfide removal and its preparation method. The adsorbent is composed of an alkali metal salt supported on a composite carrier composed of activated alumina and ZSM-5 molecular sieves with multiple mesoporous channels. This improves the utilization of the active components, but has a low sulfur capacity.

[0007] X and Y molecular sieves, due to their three-dimensional channels and large pore size, offer greater adsorption space and more adsorption sites, resulting in significantly better sulfur capacity than other molecular sieves. However, these molecular sieves can also adsorb olefins. The exothermic adsorption and the surface reaction of olefins on the molecular sieve increase the bed temperature, triggering olefin oligomerization, leading to carbon deposition and agglomeration of the adsorbent, increased bed pressure drop, and the inability to dissipate adsorption heat, resulting in unexpected downtime and olefin leakage.

[0008] In order to solve this problem, relevant reports have mixed molecular sieves with materials with good thermal conductivity to accelerate heat transfer and alleviate local temperature rise. For example, Chinese patent CN111068611A discloses a low-carbon olefin desulfurizer and its preparation method and application. The low-carbon olefin desulfurizer includes, by weight, 5 to 20 parts of molecular sieves, 55 to 70 parts of hydrotalcite-like substances and the corresponding composite oxides obtained by calcining hydrotalcite-like substances, and 10 to 30 parts of binders. The prepared desulfurizer can be used in the production of low-carbon olefin desulfurization, but the desulfurizer obtained by this method still has the problem of slow mass transfer and diffusion; Chinese patent CN108295809A discloses a composite desulfurization adsorption The invention relates to a composite desulfurization adsorbent comprising a modified mesoporous molecular sieve, a modified microporous molecular sieve, aluminum oxide, and a nitric acid solution, mixed and shaped, and then activated. The resulting desulfurization adsorbent can effectively remove various sulfides from sulfur-containing substances. A certain amount of nitric acid is added during the preparation of the desulfurization agent, which, while increasing the sample strength, destroys the structure of the molecular sieve to a certain extent, reducing the desulfurization efficiency. Chinese patent CN117732428A discloses a renewable hydrogen sulfide removal agent, its preparation method, and application. Using silica-alumina as a carrier, an aluminum hydroxide colloidal solution is loaded onto the silica-alumina carrier, and then water vapor aging causes secondary bonding between the aluminum gel and the carrier, resulting in a hydrogen sulfide removal agent with a more concentrated pore size distribution and more abundant active adsorption sites. This patent can only adsorb hydrogen sulfide and has no removal capability for other organic sulfides. Summary of the Invention

[0046] (2) Select K + The 13X molecular sieve has a larger ion exchange pore size, and the adsorbed molecules are not restricted in the pores, and the interaction force with the cations is weak. In addition, the molecular sieve has a low charge density, which weakens the electric field strength, significantly reduces the adsorption heat, and weakens the ability of the molecular sieve to adsorb olefins, which significantly inhibits the olefin polymerization reaction that occurs during the adsorption process. At the same time, it can further increase the content of effective components and improve the adsorption capacity.

The macromolecular polymers can be used as templates to introduce mesopores, and the mesoporous high thermal conductivity materials can accelerate heat transfer, so that heat is quickly taken away. At the same time, the adsorbed molecules can be adsorbed in multiple layers on the mesopores introduced by the macromolecular polymers and the surface of the mesoporous high thermal conductivity materials to reduce the average adsorption heat, reduce local heat accumulation during the adsorption process, alleviate local temperature rise, and avoid unexpected shutdowns, olefin leakage and other dangers.

[0048] (4) During the adsorbent molding process, a metal component is added. This metal component is different from the metal cations in the molecular sieve exchange site. The metal component is added in the form of an organic metal salt, which increases the adsorption sites, makes the adsorption speed faster, and increases the adsorption efficiency.

[0099] The inlet and outlet propylene contents were detected by gas chromatography, and the outlet sulfide content was detected by thermal desorption concentration & gas chromatography FPD detector. When the outlet total sulfur content was greater than 0.1 ppm, the adsorption reaction process was stopped. This was considered as one test operation cycle. The test results are listed in Table 1 below.
