[0003] Preparation of propylene and iso-butene by dehydrogenation of propane and iso-butane is a related process of preparation of iso-pentene by dehydrogenation of iso-pentane. Due to the increase in complexity of the iso-pentane dehydrogenation product, the process for preparing iso-pentene from iso-pentane based on limited improvement of the iso-butane dehydrogenation process and catalyst generally has poor effect.
[0004] In the process for preparing iso-butene by dehydrogenation of iso-butane disclosed in CN103232312A, hydrogen and steam are used as diluent and heat carrier, and the dehydrogenation reaction of iso-butane is carried out in a fixed bed adiabatic reactor loaded with a Pt-Sn-K / alumina type platinum dehydrogenation catalyst, and then iso-butene is prepared by further separation, which has achieved industrialization and reached good technical effect and economic benefit. In the process device, the iso-butane and iso-pentane dehydrogenation device adopts two dehydrogenation reactor series, each dehydrogenation reactor series includes two serially connected dehydrogenation reactors, the dehydrogenation reactors adopt radial or axial reaction structure, and each dehydrogenation reactor is provided with a stream heating furnace in front; the catalyst used in the dehydrogenation reactor is a spherical catalyst (outer diameter 2.5-3.0 mm) prepared based on the ratio and method in CN103212411A, Pt is uniformly distributed in the spherical particles and is in a highly dispersed state; the gas inlet conditions of each hydrogenation reactor are as follows: temperature 580-650℃, pressure 0.1-0.5MPa, and space velocity 2000-6000h -1 The volume ratio of the feed gas of the first dehydrogenation reactor in each dehydrogenation reactor series is iso-butane:hydrogen:steam=1:(0.5-3):(0.5-3), and the specific gas inlet conditions are adjusted according to the reaction effect, which can reach the target reaction effect of iso-butane single-pass conversion rate of more than 30% or even more than 35% and iso-butene selectivity of more than 97%; the dehydrogenation catalyst needs to be regenerated in situ in the reactor after gradual carbon deposition and reaction effect decline, and the regeneration period can reach more than 400h or even more than 750h.

In the isopentane-rich gas stream and the hydrogen-rich gas stream, the content of the impurity components that are not conducive to the dehydrogenation process of isopentane and the reaction performance of the catalyst should be controlled to be below a certain content.
[0020] The present application is a process for preparing iso-pentene from iso-pentane dehydrogenation, the alkane dehydrogenation catalyst can be spherical or strip-shaped, Pt is uniformly distributed in the catalyst particles (i.e. the cross-section color is uniform) and is in a highly dispersed state at the beginning of each operating cycle, wherein the size of the spherical catalyst can be Φ2.5-3.0mm, and the size of the strip-shaped catalyst can be Φ(1.2-2)×(2-10)mm; it can be a spherical or strip-shaped catalyst H containing zirconium prepared on the basis of the improvement of the proportioning and method of CN103212411A: taking high-temperature zirconium-aluminum composite oxide containing 0.8-1.5wt% ZrO2 as the carrier, and loading components in terms of elements: Pt 0.2-0.4wt%, Sn 0.5-1wt%, K 0.65-1wt%, preferably taking spherical or strip-shaped catalyst HA with 0.35wt% Pt, 0.7wt% Sn, 0.83wt% K, and the carrier being high-temperature zirconium-aluminum composite oxide containing 1.1wt% ZrO2; it is found that the catalyst H, especially the catalyst HA, has good reaction performance for iso-pentane dehydrogenation to generate iso-pentene and matching CO2 hydrogenation to generate methane under the conditions of fixed bed adiabatic reactor and hydrogenation, such as under the setting and operating conditions of the dehydrogenation reactor group mode A, B, and has good reaction performance for iso-pentane dehydrogenation to generate iso-pentene under the setting and operating conditions of the dehydrogenation reactor group mode C (without CO2), and the catalytic activity is relatively stable, deactivation is very slow, and long-term operation effects of more than 30% iso-pentane single-pass conversion, more than 90% iso-pentene selectivity and more than 300h catalyst regeneration cycle can be obtained.
[0021] The catalyst H containing zirconium can be prepared by the following steps:
[0022] (H-1) taking spherical alumina with a pore volume of 0.5-0.7mL / g, a specific surface area of 100-130m 2 / g, and a size of Φ2.5-3.0mm or strip-shaped alumina with a size of Φ(1.2-2)×(2-10)mm as the carrier, uniformly applying zirconium oxychloride aqueous solution accounting for 80-100% of the saturated water absorption volume of the carrier and the required concentration, and placing in a closed container for 10-20h for homogenization treatment, drying, and then calcining at 880-930℃ for 2-4h, and cooling to obtain zirconium-modified alumina carrier;
[0023] (H-2) uniformly applying Pt-Sn-acid-K aqueous solution accounting for 80-90% of the saturated water absorption volume of the zirconium-modified alumina carrier obtained in step (H-1) and the required concentration and temperature of 20-30℃, placing in a closed container for 10-15h for homogenization treatment, drying, and then calcining at 500-600℃ for 2-5h, and cooling to obtain the alkane dehydrogenation catalyst;
[0024] The Pt-Sn-acid-K aqueous solution in step (H-2) is an aqueous solution with desired concentrations prepared from chloroplatinic acid, stannous chloride, hydrochloric acid, citric acid and potassium nitrate. The preparation method is as follows: chloroplatinic acid and hydrochloric acid are prepared into an aqueous solution, and stannous chloride, potassium nitrate and citric acid are added and dissolved and uniformly mixed to obtain the Pt-Sn-acid-K aqueous solution; the concentration of HCl is 0.05-0.1 mol / L, and the concentration of citric acid is 0.2-0.4 mol / L.
[0025] The alkane dehydrogenation catalyst can also be a spherical or strip-shaped catalyst J containing magnesium: the carrier is magnesium-modified alumina containing 1-2 wt% of MgO, and the loading components are, in terms of elements, 0.2-0.4 wt% of Pt, 0.5-1 wt% of Sn and 0.65-1 wt% of K, and the catalyst J is prepared by the following steps:
[0026] (J-1) taking spherical alumina with a pore volume of 0.5-0.7 mL / g, a specific surface area of 100-130 m 2 / g and a size of Φ 2.5-3.0 mm or strip-shaped alumina with a size of Φ (1.2-2) × (2-10) mm as the carrier, uniformly applying an aqueous solution of magnesium bicarbonate with a saturated water absorption volume of 40-80% of the carrier and a desired concentration, placing for homogenization treatment for 5-20 h in a closed state, heating to 70-75 °C under the condition of flowing air and treating at a constant temperature for 3-5 h, then drying, and then calcining at 880-930 °C for 2-4 h and cooling to obtain the magnesium-modified alumina carrier;
[0027] (J-2) uniformly applying the Pt-Sn-EDTA-K aqueous solution with a saturated water absorption volume of 80-90% of the carrier and a desired concentration and a temperature of 40-70 °C to the magnesium-modified alumina carrier obtained in step (J-1), placing for homogenization treatment for 3-8 h in a closed and heat-insulated state, drying, then calcining at 500-600 °C for 2-5 h and cooling to obtain the alkane dehydrogenation catalyst;
[0028] The Pt-Sn-EDTA-K aqueous solution in step (J-2) is prepared by mixing diamminenitrito platinum (Pt(NH3)2(NO2)2), potassium stannate (K2SnO3), EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), nitric acid, potassium hydroxide, and potassium nitrite into an aqueous solution with a desired concentration. The preparation method is as follows: (A) potassium stannate, such as potassium stannate trihydrate, is added to a potassium hydroxide aqueous solution with a pH value of 10-12, dissolved, and then EDTA (powder) and a nitric acid aqueous solution are added. The mixture is reacted (heated or stirred for a long time) until it is clear. A potassium hydroxide aqueous solution is added to adjust the pH value to 6.0-6.5. Potassium nitrite or an aqueous solution thereof is added, dissolved, and / or mixed uniformly to obtain a Sn-EDTA-K aqueous solution. The molar ratio of Sn, EDTA, and nitric acid is 1:(1-1.03):(2.1-2.3). (B) The Sn-EDTA-K aqueous solution in step (A) is controlled at a temperature of 50-70°C, and a diamminenitrito platinum aqueous solution at 60-70°C is added and stirred uniformly to obtain a Pt-Sn-EDTA-K aqueous solution.
[0029] The catalyst J has good reaction performance for the dehydrogenation of isopentane to isopentene and the hydrogenation of matched CO2 to methane under the conditions of a fixed bed adiabatic reactor and hydrogenation, such as the settings and operating conditions of the dehydrogenation reactor group modes A and B. It has good reaction performance for the dehydrogenation of isopentane to isopentene under the settings and operating conditions of the dehydrogenation reactor group mode C (without the addition of CO2), and the overall catalytic activity of the reactor is relatively stable and deactivation is very slow. Under the settings and operating conditions of the reactor group modes A and B, the single-pass conversion rate of isopentane is more than 30% or even more than 35%, the selectivity of isopentene is more than 90%, and the long-term operation effect of the catalyst regeneration cycle is more than 400 h. Under the settings and operating conditions of the reactor group mode C, the single-pass conversion rate of isopentane is more than 30%, the selectivity of isopentene is more than 90%, and the long-term operation effect of the catalyst regeneration cycle is more than 600 h.
[0030] The present application is a process for preparing iso-pentene by dehydrogenation of iso-pentane. Under the setting and operating conditions of Mode A and B, the dehydrogenation reactor group of the iso-pentane dehydrogenation device can ultimately obtain a long-term operating effect of a single-pass conversion rate of iso-pentane of more than 30% or even more than 35%, a selectivity of iso-pentene of more than 90%, a methanation rate of CO2 of more than 80%, and a catalyst regeneration cycle of more than 300 hours, which indicates that the two catalysts have CO2 methanation performance matched with the dehydrogenation performance of iso-pentane, and effectively couple the two reactions, thereby significantly improving the dehydrogenation reaction conversion rate of iso-pentane by using the heat release of the CO2 methanation reaction. Since the dehydrogenation of iso-pentane is a significantly endothermic reaction, and the CO2 methanation is a strong exothermic reaction, if the CO2 methanation performance of the catalyst is significantly dominant, the maximum temperature of the catalyst bed will easily exceed 560°C, thereby resulting in a decrease in the selectivity of iso-pentene and a shortening of the catalyst regeneration cycle. During the dehydrogenation operation, the temperature and / or CO2 content of the inlet gas stream can be appropriately adjusted according to the overall performance of the reactor, such as using a lower temperature and / or CO2 content of the inlet gas stream at the beginning of the operating cycle when the overall performance of the catalyst is higher, and appropriately increasing the temperature and / or CO2 content of the inlet gas stream at the end of the operating cycle when the overall performance of the catalyst decreases, so as to obtain a relatively stable yield and output of iso-pentene. Since a relatively low inlet temperature of the gas stream is used, the overall temperature of the catalyst bed is lower than that of the prior art, thereby reducing the side reactions and prolonging the regeneration cycle. The methanation rate of CO2 can be calculated by the CO2 conversion rate and the distribution and content of the generated oxygen-containing compounds. During the operation of Mode A and B, the CO2 conversion rate is easily more than 90% or even 95%.
[0031] The magnesium-containing catalyst J has better overall performance and greater operating flexibility than the zirconium-containing catalyst H during the dehydrogenation application before the first regeneration of the dehydrogenation reactor group, which indicates that the dispersion and combination state of Pt and Sn reach a high level during the operation of the first regeneration cycle, and the magnesium modification can basically eliminate the long-term and special effects of the surface acidity of the alumina carrier. However, the operating conditions and effects of the second operating cycle and thereafter depend on the regeneration method. In the process for preparing iso-pentene by dehydrogenation of iso-pentane, the reactor needs to be reduced after being filled with new catalyst and before being put into dehydrogenation operation, and the last step of the regeneration process is also a reduction operation. The reduction operation conditions are as follows: using a hydrogen stream with a H2 molar content of more than 98% and an olefin molar content of less than 0.1%, an airspeed of 500-1000 h -1 , a pressure of 0-0.2 MPa, a reduction time of 3-6 hours at a temperature of more than 480°C, and a maximum bed temperature of not more than 520°C.
[0032] The in-situ regeneration process of the reactor or series filled with catalyst H or catalyst J, when the overall reaction performance index falls to a specified range, or after the dehydrogenation operation is cut off, can be the same as the in-situ regeneration process of the Pt-Sn-K / alumina catalyst for preparing isobutene from isobutane in the related prior art, or substantially the same as the ex-situ regeneration process of the semi-regenerated platinum reforming catalyst in a refinery, including carbon burning, oxychlorination, and reduction operations. In the carbon burning operation, an oxygen-containing gas stream with an O2molar content of 0.5-0.8% is used, which is obtained by mixing air into a nitrogen stream (N2molar content of more than 99%), the space velocity is 500-2000h-1, the inlet temperature is 450-490℃, the pressure is 0-0.1 MPa, the initial bed temperature is 450-500℃, the maximum bed temperature is not more than 520℃, and the difference between the O2molar content of the outlet gas stream and that of the inlet gas stream is reduced to less than 0.1%, and then the process is extended for 2-4h. In the oxychlorination operation, an oxygen-containing gas stream with an O2molar content of 4-15% is used, which is obtained by mixing air into a nitrogen stream, the space velocity is 500-2000h-1, the pressure is 0.02-0.2 MPa, and the initial bed temperature is 480-520℃. Water or steam is first mixed into the oxygen-containing gas stream, and chlorides such as dichloroethane, trichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, or tetrachloroethylene are also mixed into the oxygen-containing gas stream, or a chloroacetic acid aqueous solution (containing water and organic chlorine) with a mass concentration of 40-50% is directly mixed into the oxygen-containing gas stream before a heating furnace or a heater, the inlet temperature of the gas stream is controlled to be 500-520℃, the amount of chlorides mixed into the reactor is 0.4-0.6wt% of the catalyst in the reactor in terms of chlorine, the molar ratio of water to chlorine is controlled to be 5-8, and the mixing time is controlled to be 3-6h. Then, the inlet temperature of the oxygen-containing gas stream (without water and chlorides) is controlled to be 520-540℃, the process is performed for 4-6h, and the outlet gas stream temperature of the reactor is higher than 515℃. After the oxychlorination operation is completed, the reactor is purged with a high-purity nitrogen stream (N2molar content of more than 99.9%) at a temperature of 480-500℃, the space velocity is 500-2000h-1, and the O2molar content of the outlet gas stream is reduced to less than 0.2%. Then, the reduction of catalyst H or catalyst J is performed according to the above reduction operation conditions. After the in-situ regeneration including the oxychlorination operation, the carbon deposition of catalyst H or catalyst J is substantially burned off, the Pt particles are redispersed, and the isopentane dehydrogenation reaction performance and the CO2hydrogenation to methane performance are substantially restored. The overall performance of catalyst H can be substantially restored to the effect level of the first running cycle, and the overall performance of catalyst J is slightly lower than that of the first running cycle without chlorine, indicating that the dispersion and combination state of Pt and Sn are restored to a high level, but the overall performance of catalyst J is still higher than that of catalyst H. -1 -1 -1
[0033] The reactor or series filled with catalyst H or the reactor or series filled with catalyst J, after being treated by one or more in-situ regeneration processes under the presence of chlorine, can basically restore the reaction performance, and when isopentane dehydrogenation is carried out under the setting and operating conditions of the dehydrogenation reactor group mode A, B or C, the long-term operation effect of isopentane single-pass conversion rate of 30% or even 35% or more, isopentene selectivity of 90% or more, methanation rate of 80% or more in the presence of CO2, and catalyst regeneration cycle of 300h or more can be obtained; wherein the reactor or series filled with catalyst J, after being treated by one or more in-situ regeneration processes under the presence of chlorine, when isopentane dehydrogenation is carried out under the setting and operating conditions of the dehydrogenation reactor group mode A or B, the catalyst regeneration cycle can be maintained for 500h or more.
[0034] The reactor or series filled with catalyst J can also be subjected to in-situ regeneration process under the absence of chlorine when the overall reaction performance index decreases to a specified range or after the dehydrogenation operation is cut off, including carbon burning, oxidation and reduction operations. When the carbon burning operation is carried out, an oxygen-containing gas stream with O2 molar content of 0.5-0.8% obtained by mixing dry air stream (such as the dew point being lower than -20℃) into nitrogen stream is used, the space velocity is 500-2000h -1 -1, the inlet temperature is 450-490℃, the pressure is 0-0.1MPa, and the bed initial temperature is 450-500℃; during the carbon burning process, the highest temperature of the bed is controlled to be not more than 520℃, and then the difference between the O2 molar content in the outlet gas stream and the inlet gas stream is reduced to be less than 0.1%, and then extended for 2-4h. When the oxidation operation is carried out, an oxygen-containing gas stream with O2 molar content of 10-20% obtained by mixing dry air stream into nitrogen stream or directly using dry air stream is used, the space velocity is 500-2000h -1 -1, the pressure is 0.02-0.2MPa, the bed initial temperature is 480-520℃, the gas inlet temperature is 500-520℃, and the oxidation treatment is carried out for 6-10h. After the oxidation operation is completed, the reactor is replaced by nitrogen stream and high-purity nitrogen stream with temperature of 480-500℃ for purging, the space velocity is 500-2000h -1, the molar content of O2 in the outlet gas stream is reduced to below 0.2%, and then the catalyst J is reduced again under the above reduction operation conditions. After the reactor or series loaded with the catalyst J is treated by the in-situ regeneration under the chlorine-free conditions, when the dehydrogenation of isopentane is carried out under the setting and operation conditions of the dehydrogenation reactor group mode A, B or C, the long-term operation effect of the isopentane single-pass conversion rate of 30% or even above 35%, the isopentene selectivity of 90% or above, the methanation rate of 80% or above in the presence of CO2, and the catalyst regeneration cycle of 300h or even above 450h can be obtained; in particular, the problem of isomerization side reaction to produce n-pentane is less than that of the catalyst J after the in-situ regeneration under the oxygen-chlorination operation. After the catalyst J is treated by the in-situ regeneration under the chlorine-free conditions, the carbon deposition is basically burned off, and the isopentane dehydrogenation reaction performance and the CO2 hydrogen-assisted methanation performance are greatly restored (slightly lower than the effect level in the first operation cycle), which indicates that the dispersion and combination state of Pt and Sn can be restored to the required degree, and the overall basicity of the catalyst and the anti-carbon deposition effect can also be basically maintained. The in-situ regeneration treatment under the chlorine-free conditions reduces the chlorine resistance requirement of the equipment such as the reactor, the pipeline, the control components, and the detection components, can avoid the corrosion problem of chlorides, and can also avoid the generation of KCl. The catalyst still exhibits the overall basicity and the good anti-carbon deposition ability, which to some extent makes up for the defect of the limited Pt re-dispersion effect during the regeneration treatment under the chlorine-free conditions.

Gas stream G0 is separated in PSA-H2 unit to obtain hydrogen stream G-H2 with a molar purity of more than 98% or even more than 99%, almost no unsaturated hydrocarbons, part of which is recycled to isopentane dehydrogenation device, and the rest is externally supplied;Also obtain low hydrogen stream G-2 containing CH4, ethane, ethylene, CO2 for heating furnace as fuel gas. The PSA-CH unit is preferably provided with two sets of hydrocarbon separation units, including alkylene separation unit PSA-CH-1 and alkane separation unit PSA-CH-2;The gasified hydrocarbon containing liquid stream L is separated by PSA-CH-1 unit to obtain alkane gas stream GL-1, isopentene gas stream Z-2 and hetero-hydrocarbon gas stream Z-3 three parts, the obtained isopentene gas stream Z-2 is easy to control to isopentene molar purity of more than 98% or even more than 99%, diene hydrocarbon basically enters the hetero-hydrocarbon gas stream Z-3 and the amount of the hetero-hydrocarbon gas stream Z-3 is very small, which can be used as fuel gas or liquefied and collected for external sale;The alkane gas stream GL-1 is further separated by PSA-CH-2 unit to obtain isopentane gas stream Y-1 and n-pentane gas stream Z-1 two parts, the isopentane molar purity of the obtained isopentane gas stream Y-1 and the n-pentane molar purity of the n-pentane gas stream Z-1 are all easy to control to more than 96% or even more than 98%, the isopentane gas stream Y-1 is recycled to the isopentane dehydrogenation device, and the n-pentane gas stream Z-1 is liquefied and collected for external supply or converted into isopentane by isomerization device and then used in isopentane dehydrogenation device. The obtained isopentene gas stream Z-2 can be further liquefied to obtain isopentene liquid stream Z-2L. The light removal column D0 overhead is separated into a small amount of low boiling gas stream G-1 containing C4 and below components and 3-methyl-1-butene, which is also used as fuel gas in the heating furnace.
[0036] The process operation of the cooling separation system can include: cooling the gas stream Q to 20-60°C (such as through a heat exchanger cooled by circulating water), increasing the pressure to 0.5-1 MPa, cooling to 20-60°C, and then successively cooling to 1-10°C and (-20 to -10) °C and carrying out water separation and ice removal operations, and cooling to (-20 to -10) °C to obtain a gas stream G0 and a hydrocarbon-containing liquid stream L0; the two-step cooling to 1-10°C and (-20 to -10) °C uses a cooling heat exchanger with water separation function, and when cooled to 1-10°C, condensed water is separated out (water produced by the CO2 hydrogen-assisted methanation reaction when the dehydrogenation reactor group is set and operated in mode A, B), and during the (-20 to -10) °C cooling process, the ice on the heat exchange surface can be removed by using multiple cooling heat exchangers and carrying out ice removal operations (short-term shutdown of the cooling medium circulation) in rotation to maintain long-term heat exchange capacity and deeply remove water in the stream; when mode C, a large amount of water vapor is added to the gas stream at the inlet of reactor III, and after the gas stream Q is cooled to 20-60°C before and after being increased to 0.5-1 MPa, condensed water is continuously separated out through an oil-water separator; the gas-liquid mixed stream cooled to (-20 to -10) °C is then separated into a gas stream G0 mainly containing H2, CH4 and a small amount of CO2, ethane and ethylene, and a hydrocarbon-containing liquid stream L0.
[0037] The adsorbent used in each adsorption tower of the PSA-CH-1 unit has an adsorption selectivity for isopentene / pentane in the gasified stream L containing hydrocarbons of more than 3, preferably more than 4, under its operating conditions (such as 40-100°C, absolute pressure 30-1000 kPa), i.e. more easily adsorbing isopentene, and the pentane is the total amount of n-pentane and isopentane; similarly, the adsorbent used in each adsorption tower of the PSA-CH-2 unit has an adsorption selectivity for n-pentane / isopentane in the alkane gas stream GL-1 of more than 6 under its operating conditions (such as 100-160°C, absolute pressure 40-1000 kPa), and the separation principle is the shape selection of the adsorbent for n-pentane / isopentane, and the n-pentane molecule size is slightly smaller, which can enter the inner pores of the adsorbent microparticles (with a larger surface area) and be adsorbed, while the isopentane cannot enter the inner pores of the adsorbent microparticles in large amounts due to its slightly larger molecular size and is discharged.
[0038] The present application is a process for preparing isoamylene from isoamylane dehydrogenation, wherein the isoamylene separation device comprises a cooling separation system, a pressure swing adsorption separation system, and a rectification system. The rectification system comprises a rectification column D1 (theoretical plate number 50-60) to separate the hydrocarbon-containing liquid stream L from the bottom of the light-removing column D0. With the rectification system, the PSA-CH unit can only have the alkylene separation unit PSA-CH-1 (without the PSA-CH-2 unit). The rectification column D1 separates the isoamylane liquid stream Y-2 from the top and the isoamylene-rich liquid stream Z containing n-pentane and dienes from the bottom. The isoamylene-rich liquid stream Z is gasified and then separated into the n-pentane gas stream Z-11, the isoamylene gas stream Z-21, and the hetero-hydrocarbon gas stream Z-31 containing dienes by the PSA-CH-1 unit. The isoamylene gas stream Z-21 and the isoamylene liquid stream Z-21L obtained by liquefaction are the target products of isoamylane dehydrogenation, and the molar purity can be controlled to more than 98% or even more than 99%. The n-pentane gas stream Z-11 and the hetero-hydrocarbon gas stream Z-31 containing dienes can be further utilized or liquefied for sale.
[0039] The present application also provides a process for preparing tertiary amyl alcohol. The isoamylene liquid stream Z-2L or Z-21L from the isoamylene separation device in the isoamylane dehydrogenation process and water are used as raw materials, mixed with the recycled residual isoamylene liquid stream X-1, the recycled water stream X-3 or the isoamyl alcohol-containing aqueous solution stream X-3, and the circulating solvent liquid stream X-4. The obtained liquid stream X is subjected to liquid-phase reaction for isoamylene hydration to produce tertiary amyl alcohol in a fixed-bed hydration reactor filled with macroporous sulfonic acid-type cation resin catalyst (hydrogen type, such as the product JQE-02 of the company). The solvent contained in the circulating solvent liquid stream X-4 can be isopropyl alcohol, tertiary butyl alcohol, or ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, and is preferably ethylene glycol monobutyl ether with a higher boiling point. The liquid stream obtained by hydration is separated into the residual isoamylene liquid stream X-1, the isoamyl alcohol and water miscible liquid stream X-20, and the circulating solvent liquid stream X-4 by passing through a light-removing column (theoretical plate number 18-25) and a rectification column (theoretical plate number 40-50) in sequence. The isoamyl alcohol and water miscible liquid stream X-20 is separated into the isoamyl alcohol liquid stream X-2 and the water stream X-3 or the isoamyl alcohol-containing aqueous solution stream X-3 by known separation methods such as azeotropic rectification, extractive rectification, or extractive-azeotropic rectification. The residual isoamylene liquid stream X-1, the water stream X-3 or the isoamyl alcohol-containing aqueous solution stream X-3, and the circulating solvent liquid stream X-4 are all recycled for hydration reaction. The operating conditions of the hydration reactor include that the molar ratio of water, isoamylene, and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether in the liquid stream X is (1-3):1:(3-8), and the liquid hourly space velocity is 0.3-1.2 h -1, the feed temperature is 40-65°C, the pressure is 0.5-1.0 MPa, and the discharge temperature is 65-80°C; the hydration reactor is preferably provided with an external circulation system, 40-70% of the volume or mass flow of the discharge liquid stream is recycled as a circulation material liquid stream X-5 and mixed into the liquid stream X before being fed into the hydration reactor, and / or a heat-removal temperature-controlling component such as a coil pipe through which 60-65°C circulating water is circulated is arranged in the catalyst bed; the total content (molar content) of 2-methyl-2-butene and 2-methyl-1-butene in the residual isopentene liquid stream X-1 (containing water) can be maintained at 90% or more by sending part of the flow of the residual isopentene liquid stream X-1 back to the cooling separation system of the isopentene separation device, and combining and processing the residual isopentene liquid stream X-1 with the hydrocarbon-containing liquid stream L0, so that the content of 3-methyl-1-butene, alkanes and other components that do not react with water brought in by the isopentene liquid stream Z-2L or Z-21L is controlled to be less than 10%; the extractant used in the extractive rectification method or the extractive-azeotropic rectification method can be cyclohexane or n-hexane. The hydration reactor can achieve and ensure a reaction effect of isopentene conversion ≥40% and tert-amyl alcohol selectivity ≥98% during a long-term operation of more than one year; the separation yield of tert-amyl alcohol in the subsequent separation process of the hydration reaction can be ensured to be more than 98%; the content of tert-amyl alcohol in the obtained tert-amyl alcohol liquid stream X-2 is more than 99.5wt% or even 99.8wt%, and the water content is less than 0.1wt%, so that the obtained tert-amyl alcohol liquid stream X-2 can be directly packed, stored and transported as a tert-amyl alcohol product after being cooled. In the preparation process of the tert-amyl alcohol, 2-methyl-2-butene and 2-methyl-1-butene in the three isomers of isopentene react with water to generate tert-amyl alcohol, while 3-methyl-1-butene does not react with water. The use of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether as the isopentene hydration reaction solvent has the advantages of stable performance, good reaction effect, and the fact that the heavy components (mainly isopentene polymers and fusel alcohols) generated in the hydration reaction and the separation process are more likely to enter the circulation solvent liquid stream X-4, so that the fractionation and purification treatment of the circulation solvent liquid stream X-4 on a regular basis helps to maintain and prolong the reaction performance and service life of the macroporous sulfonic acid type cation resin catalyst in the hydration reactor, and is conducive to obtaining a tert-amyl alcohol product with a purity of more than 99.8wt%. The normal boiling point of tert-amyl alcohol is 102°C, and the normal boiling point of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether is 171°C. The isopentene hydration reaction process, the separation process of the hydration reaction discharge liquid, and the process control and effect are known in the art.The mixture of tertiary amyl alcohol and water stream X-20 is separated by using the azeotrope of tertiary amyl alcohol and water (azeotrope temperature 87.35℃ under normal pressure, azeotrope composition: 72.5wt% of tertiary amyl alcohol and 27.5wt% of water) and the immiscibility of tertiary amyl alcohol and water at a temperature of 50-75℃, which can be easily separated into the upper tertiary amyl alcohol phase containing water and the lower water phase containing tertiary amyl alcohol. For details, please refer to the relevant records and research in "Purification of Tertiary Amyl Alcohol by Azeotropic Rectification" (Gaoyuanming, [J] Sichuan Chemical Industry, 1995, 4, 29-31) and "Process Optimization Research of Isopentene and Tertiary Amyl Alcohol" (Wang Shaoheng, Master Thesis of Dalian University of Technology, 2024).
[0040] The beneficial effects of the present application include:
[0041] 1. The process for preparing isopentene from isopentane by dehydrogenation, when the isopentane dehydrogenation device is operated under the setting and operating conditions of modes A, B and C, can obtain a long-term operation effect of isopentane single-pass conversion rate of 30% or even more than 35%, isopentene selectivity of 90% or more, and catalyst regeneration cycle of 300h or more, even 600h or more; the isopentene separation device can obtain isopentene with a molar purity of 98% or even more than 99%, and hydrogen.
[0042] 2. An effective process for preparing tertiary amyl alcohol from isopentane is provided, which provides a potential and better choice for the application of isopentane; tertiary amyl alcohol is a widely used organic raw material and solvent with a relatively high market price.
[0043] 3. The process for preparing isopentene from isopentane by dehydrogenation and the process for preparing tertiary amyl alcohol from isopentane are superior to the prior art as a whole and have certain application prospects.
[0044] It is believed that the main principle of the process for preparing isopentene from isopentane by dehydrogenation, which can achieve the above beneficial effects, includes:
[0045] 4. The catalyst H, although prepared on the basis of the proportioning and method of CN103212411A, has a specific surface area of 100-130m 2 / g, and the zirconium-containing alumina carrier is prepared by impregnating the alumina carrier with an aqueous solution of zirconyl chloride, and finally the catalyst H with better isopentane dehydrogenation performance is prepared. In the method of CN103212411A, the zirconium-containing alumina carrier is prepared by impregnating the boehmite precursor of alumina (a crystal form of aluminum hydroxide, which has not yet formed alumina crystal grains and pores in the crystal grains) with an aqueous solution of zirconyl chloride, and the catalyst prepared by further loading Pt, Sn and K in the obtained zirconium-containing alumina carrier, the dispersion state of Zr and the combination state with Al2O3 will be significantly different compared with those in the catalyst H, which should be the main reason for the performance difference between the two in the isopentane dehydrogenation reaction. The specific surface area of the spherical or strip-shaped alumina carrier is 100-130 m 2 / g, and the zirconium-containing alumina carrier is prepared by impregnating the alumina carrier with an aqueous solution of zirconyl chloride, and finally the catalyst H with better isopentane dehydrogenation performance is prepared. In the method of CN103212411A, the zirconium-containing alumina carrier is prepared by impregnating the boehmite precursor of alumina (a crystal form of aluminum hydroxide, which has not yet formed alumina crystal grains and pores in the crystal grains) with an aqueous solution of zirconyl chloride, and the catalyst prepared by further loading Pt, Sn and K in the obtained zirconium-containing alumina carrier, the dispersion state of Zr and the combination state with Al2O3 will be significantly different compared with those in the catalyst H, which should be the main reason for the performance difference between the two in the isopentane dehydrogenation reaction. The specific surface area of the spherical or strip-shaped alumina carrier is 100-130 m
[0046] 5. In the preparation of the magnesium-containing catalyst J, during the process of impregnating the magnesium bicarbonate aqueous solution, drying, and calcining at 880-930℃ to prepare the magnesium-modified alumina support, the magnesium bicarbonate aqueous solution and the magnesium carbonate generated by heating to 70-75℃ under flowing air conditions and isothermal treatment to release carbon dioxide, drying, and calcining at 880-930℃ to prepare the magnesium (MgO)-modified alumina support, the resulting magnesium-aluminum composite oxide coating is microscopically uniformly distributed; during the process of impregnating the magnesium-modified alumina support with Pt-Sn-EDTA-K aqueous solution (pH value close to neutral), drying, and calcining at 500-600℃ to prepare the alkane dehydrogenation catalyst, the support skeleton is basically unaffected, the Pt distribution is relatively uniform, and the dispersion degree is high. In step (A) of preparing the Pt-Sn-EDTA-K aqueous solution described in step (J-2), potassium stannate, potassium hydroxide, and potassium nitrite together provide the K loading of the catalyst; the reaction of the potassium stannate aqueous solution with EDTA and nitric acid until the solution becomes clear indicates that EDTA has loaded Sn. 4+ After complete complexation, take one drop of solution and add 2-4 drops of 40wt% hexamethylenetetramine aqueous solution. Add one drop of indicator solution, such as 0.02wt% xylenol orange aqueous solution, to the mixture (pH around 5.5); it should turn yellow. When potassium stannate is in molar excess compared to EDTA, adding potassium hydroxide to adjust the pH to 6.0-6.5 in the aqueous solution will produce flocculent matter, and the solution will not be clear. The Sn-EDTA-K aqueous solution obtained after adding potassium nitrite (pH around 6.5) will also not be clear. Using potassium nitrite makes the near-neutral Pt-Sn-EDTA-K aqueous solution more stable during storage and carrier impregnation, mainly by preventing the decomposition of diammonium nitrite, which is not possible when the solution contains only potassium nitrate. In the preparation of the magnesium-containing spherical or strip-shaped catalyst J, diammonium nitrite, which has low solubility in aqueous solution but whose concentration meets the catalyst loading requirements, and Sn are used. 4+ The solution contains an EDTA complex, and the pH is near neutral. Therefore, the molecular structure of diammonium platinum nitrite can be considered intact (in reality, it partially ionizes to release [Pt(NH3)2]). 2+ Ion, [Pt(NH3)2] 2+ (The ionic structure of [Pt(NH3)2] remains intact) 2+ The adsorption on the inner and outer surfaces of magnesium-modified alumina supports is weak, and uniform distribution of Pt in the catalyst can be achieved without competitive adsorbents such as citric acid; if the Pt-Sn-EDTA-K aqueous solution contains a certain concentration of Cl... - (Chloride ions) then form PtCl4 2- The adsorption of Pt is strong on the inner and outer surfaces of the magnesium-modified alumina support, leading to uneven distribution of Pt in the absence of suitable competing adsorbents. Meanwhile, after drying in step (J-2), Sn... 4+- The fine crystallization and uniform dispersion of the EDTA complex and the diamminonitrosoplatinum in the pores of the magnesium-modified alumina carrier, the uniform radial distribution of the Pt-Sn components in the spherical or strip-shaped catalyst J, the uniform color caused by the Pt component, and the higher dispersion of the Pt and Sn than in the related prior art catalysts, including the catalyst H containing zirconium, or the better combined dispersion of the Pt and Sn, make the catalyst J not only have better overall isopentane dehydrogenation performance, but also have CO2 hydrogenation to methane performance that matches the isopentane dehydrogenation performance. The diamminonitrosoplatinum and potassium stannate used are both reagents or products that are easy to purchase and have stable quality; the potassium stannate is a tetravalent tin salt, and the process of oxidizing divalent tin to tetravalent tin is omitted.
[0047] 6. In the preparation of the catalyst J containing magnesium, the use of the magnesium-modified alumina carrier substantially eliminates the surface acidity of the alumina carrier, and under the basic conditions of the K loading amount, the catalyst has lower isomerization activity of isopentane to n-pentane, and extremely low cracking, carbonization, and deep dehydrogenation to diene activity. The catalyst J has good reaction performance of isopentane dehydrogenation to isopentene and matching CO2 hydrogenation to methane under fixed bed adiabatic reactor and hydrogenation conditions, such as under the setting and operating conditions of the dehydrogenation reactor group modes A and B, and good reaction performance of isopentane dehydrogenation to isopentene under the setting and operating conditions of the dehydrogenation reactor group mode C (without CO2), and the overall catalytic activity of the reactor is relatively stable and deactivates very slowly; under the setting and operating conditions of the reactor group modes A and B, long-term operation effects of isopentane single-pass conversion rate of 30% or even 35% or more, isopentene selectivity of 90% or more, and catalyst regeneration cycle of 400h or more can be obtained; under the setting and operating conditions of the reactor group mode C, long-term operation effects of isopentane single-pass conversion rate of 30% or more, isopentene selectivity of 90% or more, and catalyst regeneration cycle of 600h or more can be obtained.
[0048] 7. Under the setting and operating conditions of Mode A, B, the isopentane dehydrogenation reactor group can obtain the long-term operation effects of isopentane single-pass conversion rate of 30% or even 35% above, isopentene selectivity of 90% above, CO2 methanation rate of 80% above and catalyst regeneration cycle of 300h above, when the catalyst H containing zirconium or catalyst J containing magnesium is used, which shows that both of the catalysts have the CO2 methanation performance matched with the isopentane dehydrogenation performance, and both of the catalysts effectively couple the two reactions, so as to use the heat release of the CO2 methanation reaction to significantly improve the isopentane dehydrogenation reaction conversion rate. Since the isopentane dehydrogenation is a significantly endothermic reaction and the CO2 methanation is a strong exothermic reaction, if the CO2 methanation performance of the catalyst occupies a significant advantage, the highest temperature of the catalyst bed will easily exceed 560℃, thereby resulting in the reduction of isopentene selectivity and the shortening of catalyst regeneration cycle. During the dehydrogenation operation, the temperature and / or CO2 content of the inlet gas stream can be appropriately adjusted according to the overall performance of the reactor, such as using a lower temperature and / or CO2 content of the inlet gas stream at the initial stage of the operation cycle and when the overall performance of the catalyst is higher, and appropriately increasing the temperature and / or CO2 content of the inlet gas stream at the end of the operation cycle and when the overall performance of the catalyst is reduced, so as to obtain a relatively stable isopentene yield and output; since a relatively low inlet gas stream temperature is used, the overall catalyst bed temperature is also lower than that of the prior art, so that the side reactions are reduced and the regeneration cycle is prolonged. The CO2 methanation rate can be calculated by the CO2 conversion rate and the distribution and content of the generated oxygen-containing compounds, and the CO2 conversion rate is easily more than 90% or even 95% during the operation of Mode A, B, but the dehydrogenation reactor outlet gas does not contain methanol.

[0063] The reduction operation is required before the new catalyst is loaded and put into dehydrogenation operation, and the last step of the regeneration process is also the reduction operation; the reduction operation conditions are as follows: using a hydrogen stream with a hydrogen molar content higher than 98% and an olefin molar content lower than 0.1%, an airspeed of 500-1000h -1 , a pressure of 0.02-0.2MPa, a bed initial temperature of 480-500℃, a bed maximum temperature not higher than 520℃, and the water vapor molar content in the outlet gas stream is reduced to below 0.1%, and then extended for 2-4h.
[0064] The in-situ regeneration process performed on each reactor or series after the isopentane dehydrogenation operation has been stopped when the overall reaction performance indicators have decreased to the specified range can be carried out under chlorine conditions. Chlorine regeneration methods include carbonization, oxychlorination, and reduction operations, specifically following the first in-situ regeneration method described in Catalyst Evaluation Example 1. Specifically, during the carbonization operation, an oxygen-containing air stream with an O2 molar content of 0.5-0.8% and a nitrogen flow (N2 molar content above 99%) is used, with a space velocity of 500-2000 h⁻¹. -1 The inlet temperature is 450-490℃, the pressure is 0-0.1MPa, the initial bed temperature is 450-500℃, and the maximum bed temperature does not exceed 520℃. The process continues for 2-4 hours until the difference in O2 molar content between the outlet and inlet gas streams decreases to below 0.1%. For oxychlorination, an oxygen-containing gas stream with an O2 molar content of 4-15%, obtained by mixing nitrogen gas with air, is used, with a space velocity of 500-2000 h⁻¹. -1 The pressure is 0.02-0.2 MPa, and the initial bed temperature is 480-520℃. First, water or steam, along with chlorides such as dichloroethane, trichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, or tetrachloroethylene, are introduced into the oxygen-containing stream. The inlet temperature of the gas stream is controlled at 500-520℃, with the amount of chloride added being 0.4-0.6 wt% of the catalyst in the reactor (calculated as chlorine). The water-to-chlorine molar ratio is controlled at 5-8, and the introduction time is 3-6 hours. Then, the inlet temperature of the oxygen-containing stream (without further water or chloride introduction) is controlled at 520-540℃, and treatment is carried out for 4-6 hours, with the reactor outlet gas temperature above 515℃. After the oxychlorination operation is completed, the reactor is purged with a high-purity nitrogen gas stream (N2 molar content above 99.9%) at a temperature of 480-500℃ and a space velocity of 500-2000 h⁻¹. -1 Once the O2 molar content in the outlet gas stream is reduced to below 0.2%, catalyst HA or catalyst JB is reduced under the aforementioned reduction operating conditions. After one and multiple in-situ regenerations including the oxychlorination operation, the coke deposits of catalyst HA or catalyst JB are essentially burned off, and the performance of CO2 hydromethanization and isopentane dehydrogenation is essentially restored. Catalyst HA can essentially recover to the performance level of the first operating cycle, while the overall performance of catalyst JB after one and multiple chlorine-containing regenerations is lower than the performance level of the first operating cycle without chlorine but higher than that of catalyst HA.
[0065] Reactors or series loaded with catalyst JB can undergo in-situ regeneration under chlorine-free conditions, including carbonization, oxidation, and reduction operations. Specifically, the carbonization operation uses an oxygen-containing airflow with an O2 molar content of 0.5-0.8%, obtained by combining a nitrogen stream with a dry air stream (e.g., dew point below -20°C), at a space velocity of 500-2000 h⁻¹. -1, the pressure 0-0.1 MPa, the bed initial temperature 450-500°C; during the carbon burning process, the maximum bed temperature is controlled to be not more than 520°C, until the difference between the O2 molar content in the outlet gas stream and the inlet gas stream is reduced to be below 0.1%, and then extended for 2-4 h. During the oxidation operation, an oxygen-containing gas stream with an O2 molar content of 10-20% obtained by mixing dry air stream into nitrogen stream or directly using dry air stream is used, the space velocity is 500-2000 h -1 , the pressure 0.02-0.2 MPa, the bed initial temperature 480-520°C, the gas stream inlet temperature 500-520°C, the oxidation treatment time 6-10 h. After the oxidation operation is completed, the reactor is changed to use nitrogen stream and high-purity nitrogen stream with a temperature of 480-500°C for purging, the space velocity is 500-2000 h -1 , until the O2 molar content in the outlet gas stream is reduced to be below 0.2%, and then the reduction of the catalyst is performed according to the above reduction operation conditions. The reactor or series loaded with the catalyst JB, after the in-situ regeneration treatment under the chlorine-free conditions is performed, when the dehydrogenation of isopentane is performed under the setting and operation conditions of the dehydrogenation reactor group mode A, B and C, the long-term operation effects of isopentane single-pass conversion rate of 30% or even above 35%, isopentene selectivity of 90% or above, methanation rate of 80% or above in the presence of CO2, and catalyst regeneration cycle of 300 h or above or even 450 h or above can be obtained; especially, the problem of isomerization side reaction to generate n-pentane is lighter than that of the catalyst JB after the in-situ regeneration with the oxygen-chlorination operation. After the in-situ regeneration under the chlorine-free conditions, the catalyst JB, the carbon deposition is basically burned out, and the isopentane dehydrogenation reaction performance and CO2 hydrogen-assisted methanation performance are greatly restored (slightly lower than the effect level in the first operation cycle).

[0088] During the evaluation test of the catalyst HA, the following three equipment configurations and connecting modes B, C and A were used in sequence according to the overall flow direction of the reaction stream:
[0089] Connecting mode B: the combined stream of isopentane liquid stream, hydrogen stream and carbon dioxide stream I → pipeline mixer I → heater I → reactor I → supplement of carbon dioxide stream II → pipeline mixer II → heater II → reactor II → condenser A → back pressure valve → condenser B; this connecting mode B is used for testing the performance of the catalyst HA in the dehydrogenation reactor group setting and operation mode B described in Example 1;

[0094] According to the flow rates and chemical compositions of the uncondensed gas stream and the condensed liquid stream discharged from condenser B, the isopentane conversion rate, carbon dioxide conversion rate, isopentene selectivity and methane generation of the dehydrogenation reaction are calculated. The chemical compositions of the high-temperature gas stream at the outlet of reactor I (2-5h measured once, with a sampling temperature of about 100℃), the uncondensed gas stream of condenser B (sampling temperature of room temperature) and the condensed liquid stream (sampling temperature of -30℃) are detected by two gas chromatographs.
[0095] After the reactors I and II are filled with new catalyst, assembled according to connection mode B, and tested for tightness under 0.5 MPa nitrogen at room temperature, the catalyst is first reduced; the reduction operation conditions are: hydrogen stream (molar purity of more than 98%, hydrocarbon content of less than 350 mg / Nm 3 , unsaturated hydrocarbon content of less than 100 mg / Nm 3 , dew point of less than -18℃) from the hydrogen pipe network of the isobutane dehydrogenation production device at 750 NL / h (the gas hourly space velocities of the catalyst bed layers in the two reactors are both 750 h -1The back pressure valve in the connecting pipe between the condensers A and B was set at 0.05 MPa, the temperature of the high temperature ovens A and B was set at 5°C / min and 490°C respectively, and the hydrogen flow was introduced when the temperature started to rise. The condenser A was used (circulating water) while the condenser B was not used (normal temperature and no circulation of antifreeze). The upper section of the catalyst bed of the reactors I and II reached 480°C after 1.2 hours, and the lower section of the catalyst bed also reached 480°C. Then the reduction was continued for 3.5 hours. During the reduction, the temperature of the upper, middle and lower sections of the two catalyst beds did not exceed 516°C.
[0096] After the reduction was completed, the condenser B was used (cooling medium circulating temperature -30°C), the isopentane liquid flow and the carbon dioxide gas flow were introduced, the temperature of the high temperature ovens A and B was adjusted, and the hydrogen flow was adjusted.

In Table-1, the isopentane mass space velocity was 2h -1 The isopentane liquid flow was 2000 g / h, which was equivalent to the gasified isopentane flow of 620.9 NL / h. The CO2 molar content was the calculated value. The CO2 molar content in the inlet gas flow of the reactor I was adjusted by adjusting the flow of the carbon dioxide gas flow I, and the CO2 molar content in the inlet gas flow of the reactor II was adjusted by adjusting the flow of the carbon dioxide gas flow II based on the calculated flow and CO2 content of the outlet gas flow of the reactor I. The CO2 molar content in the two inlet gas flows was controlled to ensure that the upper, middle and lower sections of the catalyst beds of the reactors I and II did not exceed 550°C, and the isopentene yield was also considered.

[0099]
[0100] Under the operation conditions listed in Table-1, the temperature difference between the inlet gas stream and the oven temperature of the two reactors is less than 3℃; the specific isopentane dehydrogenation reaction effect includes: during the evaluation test at the time, the maximum temperature of the catalyst bed of the two reactors can be controlled below 550℃; the temperature of the outlet section of the catalyst bed of reactor I can be controlled above 500℃, and the temperature of the outlet section of the catalyst bed of reactor II can be controlled above 530℃; the overall reaction effect of stably obtaining an isopentane total conversion rate of 30% or more (the operating time of an isopentane total conversion rate of 35% or more is 206h), an isopentene selectivity of 90% or more, and a total CO2 methanation rate of 80% or more can be stably obtained, wherein reactor I can stably obtain an isopentane conversion rate of 20% or more, an isopentene selectivity of 90% or more, and a CO2 methanation rate of 83% or more; the isopentane total conversion rate is mainly related to the overall temperature condition of the catalyst bed of reactor II and is not too related to the total amount of carbon dioxide gas stream, wherein the isopentane conversion rate of reactor I is closely related to the temperature of the lower section of the catalyst bed, i.e. the outlet section temperature. When the evaluation is up to 478h, the isopentane total conversion rate is reduced to below 30%, and the system pressure drop, i.e. the bed pressure drop of the two reactors, rises to 0.009MPa, indicating that a significant amount of carbon deposition has occurred.
[0101] At the end of the 480th hour, the isopentane and carbon dioxide feeds were turned off, the cooling medium circulation of condenser B was turned off (the water circulation of condenser A was not stopped), the back pressure valve was fully opened, and the first running cycle was ended. The doors and gas inlets and outlets of the high temperature ovens A and B were opened for about 20 minutes, the temperatures of the ovens A and B were reduced to about 490°C, the temperatures of the ovens A and B were set to 480°C, the hydrogen stream was switched to a 99.9% nitrogen stream with a flow rate of 2000 NL / h (the nitrogen stream was mixed through the hydrogen flow meter and the gas inlet pipeline), and the six temperatures of the catalyst beds of the two reactors were reduced to below 490°C after 1 hour of replacement. The first in-situ regeneration of the catalysts of the two reactors was started, including carbon burning, oxychlorination, and reduction operations. During the carbon burning operation, 80 NL / h of dry air (dew point -32°C) was first mixed through the flow meter of the carbon dioxide stream I and the gas inlet pipeline, and the molar content of O2 in the inlet gas stream of reactor I was about 0.76%. The O2 content in the outlet gas stream of reactor I was detected every 30 minutes. According to the detection value of the O2 content in the outlet gas stream of reactor I, the appropriate flow rate of dry air was mixed through the flow meter of the carbon dioxide stream II and the gas inlet pipeline to make the molar content of O2 in the inlet gas stream of reactor II about 0.7%. When the detection value of the O2 molar content in the outlet gas stream of reactor I rose to 0.7%, the molar content of O2 in the outlet gas stream of reactor II was detected (sampling from the exhaust pipe of condenser B). After the molar content of O2 in the outlet gas stream of reactor II reached 0.7%, the carbon burning was continued for another 3 hours, and the maximum temperature of the catalyst bed during the carbon burning was 515°C.After the end of the carbon burning operation, the oven A, B temperature was set to 520°C, the flow rate of the dry air through the carbon dioxide flow meter and the inlet gas line during the dehydrogenation operation was increased to 500 NL / h, the flow rate of the 99.9% nitrogen stream through the hydrogen flow meter and the inlet gas line was decreased to 500 NL / h (the O2molar content in the inlet gas stream of the reactor I was 10%), the pressure control of the back pressure valve was 0.05 MPa, the flow rate of the chloroacetic acid aqueous solution (water, chlorine molar ratio 6.5) with a mass concentration of 44.5% and a flow rate of 6.6 g / h was added through the isopentane flow pump during the dehydrogenation operation, the chloroacetic acid aqueous solution was stopped after 5 h (the amount of chloroacetic acid added was 0.5 wt% of the total amount of catalyst in the two reactors based on chlorine, and the temperature of the lower part of the catalyst bed in the two reactors reached more than 515°C after about 1 h); then the oven A, B temperature was set to 530°C, the oxygen chlorination operation was completed after 5 h of treatment; then the dry air was stopped, the oven A, B door and the inlet and outlet ports were opened for about 20 min, the oven A, B temperature was reduced to about 490°C, the oven A, B temperature was set to 480°C, the flow rate of the 99.9% nitrogen stream was increased to 2000 NL / h, and the O2molar content in the outlet gas stream of the reactor II was reduced to less than 0.1% after 1 h. The 99.9% nitrogen stream was switched to the pipe network hydrogen stream 750 NL / h (the gas hourly space velocity of the catalyst bed in the two reactors was 750 h. -1 ), and the catalyst reduction was completed after 5 h.
[0102] The oven A, B temperature was appropriately increased, and the isopentane dehydrogenation reaction evaluation test of the second running period of the catalyst HA was carried out according to the operation conditions described in Table-1.

When the evaluation reached the 491st hour, the total isopentane conversion decreased to less than 30%, and the system pressure drop, i.e. the bed pressure drop of the two reactors, increased to 0.011 MPa, indicating that a significant amount of carbon deposition had occurred.

When the evaluation is carried out to the 455th hour, the total isopentane conversion rate decreases to less than 30%, and the system pressure drop, i.e. the bed pressure drop of the two reactors, rises to 0.016MPa (which indicates that a significant amount of carbon deposition has occurred).
[0104] The catalysts of the two reactors were regenerated in situ for the second time according to the first in-situ regeneration method, and then the isopentane dehydrogenation reaction evaluation test of the third running cycle of catalyst HA was carried out according to the operation conditions and control method of the third running cycle, and then the catalysts of the two reactors were regenerated in situ for the fourth time according to the first in-situ regeneration method, and then the isopentane dehydrogenation reaction evaluation test of the fifth running cycle of catalyst HA was carried out according to the operation conditions and control method of the fourth running cycle, until the total isopentane conversion rate decreased to less than 30%. The results are basically repeated in the third running cycle. The running time of the total isopentane conversion rate of more than 30% is 443h and 457h respectively, and the running time of the total isopentane conversion rate of more than 35% is 275h and 284h respectively.
[0105] In the isopentane dehydrogenation reaction (mode B) evaluation test of the third, fourth and fifth running cycles, the CO2 molar content in the inlet gas stream of reactor I was gradually increased from 1.0wt% to 2.0wt%, and the CO2 molar content in the inlet gas stream of reactor II was gradually increased from 1.3wt% to 2.0wt%.

[0108] The reactor system was regenerated in-situ for the seventh time according to the sixth in-situ regeneration method described above, and then the isopentane dehydrogenation reaction evaluation test of the eighth running cycle of catalyst HA was carried out according to the operating conditions and control method of the seventh running cycle (mode C), until the isopentane total conversion rate decreased to below 30%. The results basically repeated the effect of the seventh running cycle, the running time of isopentane total conversion rate of above 30% was 600h, and the running time of isopentane total conversion rate of above 35% was 373h.
[0109] The reactor system was regenerated in-situ for the eighth time according to the sixth in-situ regeneration method described above, and then the isopentane dehydrogenation reaction evaluation of the ninth running cycle of reactor I was carried out according to mode A, with the gas outlet of reactor I of oven A connected to condenser A (the high-temperature gas sampling tube was still used, the carbon dioxide gas stream II inlet system, oven B and the built-in pipeline mixer II, heater II / III, reactor II / III were not used), and the water injection pump and pipeline were disconnected; the specific conditions include: the temperature of the inlet gas stream of reactor I 540°C, the pressure 0.05 MPa, the isopentane mass space velocity 2h -1, the molar ratio of isopentane to H2 was 1:1, the overall temperature of the catalyst bed of reactor I was controlled to the highest level possible but the highest temperature was not more than 550℃, and the temperature of the outlet section was maintained at more than 530℃ as much as possible by adjusting the flow rate of the carbon dioxide gas stream I. The results included that the temperature of the outlet section of the catalyst bed of reactor I was maintained at more than 530℃ for a long time, the evaluation time of isopentane conversion of more than 30% was 452h (the operation time of the total isopentane conversion of more than 35% was 233h), and the reaction effects of isopentene selectivity of more than 90% and CO2 methanation rate of more than 85% were obtained at the same time. The main control method was to gradually increase the CO2 molar content of the inlet gas stream of reactor I from 1.7% to 2.2%. After the evaluation for 454h, the reaction effects of isopentane conversion of more than 30% and isopentene selectivity of more than 90% could not be obtained at the same time, and the bed pressure drop of reactor I increased to 0.08MPa (indicating that a significant amount of carbon deposition had occurred).
