Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical technology, and specifically to a catalytic distillation method for removing impurities from isooctane reaction feedstock. Background Technology
[0002] Isooctane plays a vital role in the fuel, chemical, and aerospace industries, primarily as an additive in gasoline and aviation gasoline to adjust their octane number, and as a non-polar inert solvent in organic synthesis. Isooctane is mainly produced by using C4 as a raw material to prepare isooctene, which is then subjected to hydrogenation catalysis to obtain isooctane.
[0003] ZL01112660.4 discloses a method for producing isooctane and automotive liquefied petroleum gas through the oligomerization and hydrogenation of mixed C4 compounds. Specifically, it discloses a reaction process using mixed C4 compounds as raw materials at a reaction temperature of 160℃-230℃, a pressure of 3.0-5.0 MPa, and a space velocity of 0.5-6.0 h⁻¹. -1 Under certain conditions, the raw materials are sequentially fed into a series fixed-bed reactor, where they react with a solid acid catalyst. The catalyst is a solid phosphoric acid catalyst, a hydrogen-form ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst, or a silica-alumina microsphere catalyst. The weight concentration of C4 olefins in the gaseous effluent from the first reactor is controlled at 20-40%, and the weight concentration of C4 olefins in the effluent from the second reactor is less than or equal to 4%. The liquid effluents from both reactors enter a separation zone. The liquid effluents are separated to obtain isooctene with a purity of ≥96% by weight. The isooctene is then contacted with the catalyst, and the reaction is carried out at a reaction temperature of 200-300℃ and a space velocity of 1.0-5.0 h⁻¹. -1 Isooctane is produced by hydrogenation under conditions of 2.5-6.0 MPa pressure and a hydrogen:isooctene volume ratio of 100-800. The catalyst is a nickel-supported hydrogenation catalyst with a nickel oxide content of 20-30% by weight on an alumina or zeolite support. The invention obtains isooctane and automotive liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) through a two-stage oligomerization process and by controlling the conversion rate of each stage. However, the C4 feedstock contains impurities such as butadiene, which easily aggregates, cokes, and poisons the catalyst, leading to a decrease in catalyst lifespan and catalytic efficiency.
[0004] Furthermore, butadiene is the main raw material for synthetic rubber, and currently 80% of synthetic rubber is produced from butadiene. From the perspective of raw material energy, if butadiene can be separated from C4 raw materials, it can both obtain butadiene products and extend the catalyst life, achieving a win-win situation. Secondly, the existing catalytic distillation catalysts are not effective in removing total sulfur and butadiene.
[0005] To overcome the above problems, this invention first employs pretreatment of the C4 feedstock to separate the C4 feedstock and butadiene, obtaining butadiene product and extending the catalyst lifespan during isooctane preparation, thereby reducing production costs and improving economic efficiency. Simultaneously, during isooctane preparation, a solid superacid catalyst is prepared and alkylation is used to prepare isooctane, improving the C4 feedstock conversion rate and isooctane yield.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0022] A separation device for continuously separating C4 feedstock and butadiene, the device as follows: Figure 1 The device shown includes a water washing tower 100, a coalescer 200, a catalytic distillation tower 300, a catalytic distillation tower top condenser 400, a catalytic distillation tower bottom reboiler 500, and several membrane separators 601. The water washing tower 100 is connected to the bottom of the coalescer 200 at the top. The coalescer 200 is connected to the catalytic distillation tower 300. The catalytic distillation tower 300 is connected to the catalytic distillation tower top condenser 400 at the top. The catalytic distillation tower 300 is connected to the catalytic distillation tower bottom reboiler 500 at the bottom. The catalytic distillation tower 300 is connected to the membrane separation device.
[0023] The specific structure of the separation equipment for continuously separating C4 feedstock and butadiene is as follows: The washing tower 100 is configured from top to bottom as follows: a first washing cavity 101, a wire mesh demister 102, a first demineralized water ejector 103, a first packing container 104, a second demineralized water ejector 105, a second packing container 106, a third packing container 107, a second washing cavity 108, and a wastewater outlet. The first packing container 104 and the second packing container 106 are filled with structured packing. During washing, demineralized water is first introduced into the washing tower 100 through the first demineralized water ejector 103 and the second demineralized water ejector 105. Then, C4 feed gas is introduced into the washing tower 100 through the inlet. The C4 feed gas passes through the structured packing of the third packing container 107 and the second packing container 106, and is washed away by the demineralized water to remove methanol and nitrogen compounds. The structured packing of the first packing container 103 and the demineralized water further remove residual methanol and nitrogen compounds, preventing uneven distribution of demineralized water and ensuring that methanol and nitrogen compounds remain in the C4 element. Methanol and nitrogen compounds in the C4 feedstock are fully discharged. The methanol and nitrogen compound wastewater is discharged from the wastewater outlet at the bottom of the water washing tower. The coalescer 200 is equipped with a coalescing packing device 201, a first coalescing cavity 202, and a second coalescing cavity 203. The coalescing packing device 201 is filled with coalescing packing and is located between the first coalescing cavity 202 and the second coalescing cavity 203. The first coalescing cavity 202 is connected to the water washing tower 100 via a connecting pipe, and the second coalescing cavity 203 is connected to the catalytic distillation unit 300 via a connecting pipe. After being treated by the wire mesh demister 101, the washed C4 feedstock enters the first coalescing cavity 202 of the coalescer 200 through the connecting pipe between the water washing tower 100 and the coalescer 200, and then enters the second coalescing cavity 203 through the coalescing packing device 201. The catalytic distillation column 300, from top to bottom, comprises a first distillation cavity 301, a first tray structure 302, a second distillation cavity 303, a catalyst 304, a third distillation cavity 305, a second tray structure 306, and a fourth distillation cavity 307. The C4 feedstock enters the third distillation cavity 305 through the connecting pipe between the second coalescence cavity 203 and the catalytic distillation column 300, passes through the catalyst 304, and then enters the second distillation cavity 303. A membrane separation device consisting of several external membrane separators 601 is used. The sulfur-containing heavy components washed from the catalytic converter enter the fourth rectification cavity 307 through the second tray structure 306. From the outlet of the fourth rectification cavity 307, they enter the bottom reboiler 500 of the catalytic distillation column. After reboiling in the bottom reboiler 500, the sulfur-containing heavy components return to the fourth rectification cavity 307 in gaseous form as C4 feedstock, while the sulfur-containing heavy components are discharged from the bottom reboiler 500. The overhead vapor enters the first rectification cavity 301 through the first tray structure 302, and then enters the top condenser 400 of the catalytic distillation column through the outlet of the first rectification cavity 301. The vapor is condensed into liquid, with part of it flowing back to the first rectification cavity 301 and part of the liquid being discharged.The C4 feedstock enters a membrane separation device consisting of several membrane separators 601 through the second distillation cavity 303. The membrane material on the membrane separator is a polyZIF membrane, which has excellent C4H6 permeation selectivity. Using it as the separator membrane avoids poor separation effect. Multiple membrane separators are connected in parallel to avoid the need to shut down the entire line when replacing the membranes of some membrane separators. At the same time, the parallel connection of multiple separators increases the separation rate and accelerates the separation speed of C4 feedstock and butadiene. Example 1

The water washing tower has a traditional structure, consisting of a first water washing cavity, a wire mesh demister, a demineralized water ejector, a first packing device, a second packing device, a third packing device, a second water washing cavity, and a wastewater outlet from top to bottom. The first, second, and third packing devices are arranged longitudinally along the water washing tower to obtain washed C4 feedstock.
