Abstract

This invention discloses an integrated propane dehydrogenation process that couples catalytic dehydrogenation and hydrogen combustion. By introducing a propane dehydrogenation-hydrogenation catalyst into the propane dehydrogenation reaction, this invention enables the simultaneous realization of two processes within a single reactor: propane dehydrogenation to hydrogen, propylene, and selective hydrogen combustion. This invention achieves: (1) reducing the partial pressure of hydrogen at the reactor end, increasing the single-pass conversion rate of propane dehydrogenation, and reducing product separation energy consumption; (2) introducing heat through hydrogen combustion, delaying the temperature drop of the catalyst bed, and extending the single-pass dehydrogenation time of propane dehydrogenation; (3) regulating the depth of hydrogen combustion, controlling the heat release provided to the reactor, transforming the integrated process into a self-heating process while simultaneously producing hydrogen as a byproduct. This process requires the catalyst to possess multiple functions such as propane dehydrogenation, selective hydrogen combustion, and hydrophobicity, and should use oxygen-rich oxides as the active component of the propane dehydrogenation catalyst to avoid hydrogen reduction.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to propane dehydrogenation, and more specifically to an integrated propane dehydrogenation process that couples catalytic dehydrogenation and hydrogen combustion. Background Technology

[0002] Propylene, as an important petrochemical intermediate, is widely used in the production of chemical products such as polypropylene, acrylonitrile, and ethylene oxide. In recent years, China's consumption of propylene and its downstream derivatives has continued to grow. Traditional routes for producing propylene from naphtha cracking and catalytic cracking as a byproduct cannot meet the demand for propylene feedstock in chemical production. Propane dehydrogenation to propylene, however, has seen rapid development due to its shorter process flow, lower equipment investment, and better economics. Propane catalytic dehydrogenation is an endothermic reaction involving an increase in the number of molecules, resulting in high energy consumption, chemical equilibrium limitations, and low single-pass conversion rates. While oxidative dehydrogenation, which converts hydrogen from activated propane to water, is exothermic and its conversion rate is not limited by equilibrium conversion rates, it completely converts high-value-added hydrogen to water, and due to excessive oxidation, propylene has low selectivity (CN114849770A).

[0003] There are numerous propane dehydrogenation processes globally, including the Catofin process developed by ABB Lummus, the Oleflex process developed by UOP, the STAR process developed by ThyssenKrupp, and the PDH process developed by Linde, BASF, and Statoil, among others. According to Chinese patent CN109651047B, UOP's Oleflex process and Lummus's Catofin process are currently widely used in industrial propane dehydrogenation to propylene. The Oleflex process uses a Pt / Al2O3 catalyst, achieving a propane single-pass conversion of 35%-40% and a propylene selectivity of 84%-89% under operating conditions of 600℃-700℃ and greater than 0.1MPa (CN96117222.3, US4438288). The Catofin process uses a Cr2O3 / Al2O3 catalyst, achieving a propane single-pass conversion of 45%-50% and a selectivity greater than 88% under conditions of 540-640℃ and greater than 0.05MPa (CN200910012450.1, CN200610126812.6).

[0004] While the Oleflex and Catofin processes have been industrialized, some problems still exist. Taking the Catofin process as an example, it includes reduction, dehydrogenation, purging, and coke regeneration. Propane undergoes dehydrogenation in an adiabatic bed (590-600℃). As the bed temperature decreases (560-580℃), coke burning is necessary to raise the bed temperature and burn off a small amount of coke deposited on the catalyst. A single dehydrogenation cycle takes only about 9 minutes (CN115073156A), significantly impacting the reactor's effective production time. Furthermore, propane and propylene in the dehydrogenation products are separated using cryogenic distillation, resulting in high energy consumption. The single-pass conversion rate of propane significantly affects the energy consumption of the dehydrogenation process (CN113372189A).

[0005] Propane dehydrogenation coupled with hydrogen combustion can remove some of the hydrogen from the products through catalytic combustion, breaking the thermodynamic equilibrium of the reaction, and can also use the heat generated by hydrogen combustion for the propane dehydrogenation reaction, saving energy. Through multiple reactors connected in series, the reactants first pass through the first dehydrogenation reactor, and the gaseous mixture after the reaction (including propane, propylene, hydrogen, ethane, ethylene, etc.) enters the hydrogen selective oxidation reactor for hydrogen combustion. After the reaction, it enters the next stage dehydrogenation reactor. Although the hydrogen combustion process in this method has a relatively mild environment, the overall process flow is complex (Hu Rui. Simulation and Optimization of Propane Dehydrogenation and Hydrogen Selective Oxidation Coupled Process).

[0006] Based on the current status of propane dehydrogenation processes, a new propane dehydrogenation process that couples the dehydrogenation and hydrogen combustion processes in a single reactor, achieving self-heating reaction, by-product hydrogen production, high single-pass conversion rate, and long single-pass dehydrogenation cycle, plays an important role in reducing energy consumption and improving economic efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the technical problems of existing technologies, such as short single-pass dehydrogenation cycle, high reaction energy consumption, and low single-pass conversion, this invention provides an integrated propane dehydrogenation process that couples catalytic dehydrogenation and hydrogen combustion.

[0008] The propane dehydrogenation integrated process of the present invention, which combines coupled catalytic dehydrogenation and hydrogen combustion, introduces a propane dehydrogenation-hydrogenation catalyst into the propane dehydrogenation reaction.

[0009] Furthermore, the propane dehydrogenation-hydrogenation catalyst is composed of a propane dehydrogenation component, a hydrogenation active component, and a hydrophobic component; the dehydrogenation component is an oxygen-rich metal oxide or a metal composite oxide, which does not require hydrogen reduction before the reaction; the hydrogenation component is a metal oxide that catalyzes hydrogen combustion; the hydrophobicity can be achieved by hydrophobic modification or by adding a hydrophobic component.

[0010] Furthermore, the propane dehydrogenation component is one of Ga2O3 / Al2O3 or Cr2O3 / Al2O3.

[0011] Furthermore, the active components for propane dehydrogenation (such as Ga2O3 / Al2O3 and Cr2O3 / Al2O3) are Ga2O3 and CrO3, respectively. x The mass of the catalyst is 0.001-60 wt% of the total mass of the propane dehydrogenation-hydrogenation catalyst; preferably 10-50 wt%.

[0012] Furthermore, the hydrogen-burning active component is one or more of the metal oxides corresponding to group IIIB-VIIB elements or group IIIA-VA elements.

[0013] Furthermore, the metal oxides corresponding to the group IIIB-VIIB elements are selected from La2O3, CeO2, WO3, and Ce. 0.75 Cr 0.25 O2, WO3 / SiO2 or LaMnO3.

[0014] Furthermore, the metal oxides corresponding to the group IIIA-VA elements are selected from In2O3, Bi2O3, In2O3 / SiO2, Bi2O3 / SiO2, and Bi2Mo3O. 12 Or In2O2Mo3O 12 .

[0015] Furthermore, the mass of the hydrogen-burning active component accounts for 0.001-50 wt% of the total mass of the propane dehydrogenation-hydrogenation catalyst.

[0016] Furthermore, the hydrophobic component is one of hydrophobic graphite, graphene, or SiO2.

[0017] Furthermore, the propane dehydrogenation reaction is carried out according to a conventional propane dehydrogenation process, for example, it can be carried out according to the following steps:

[0018] (1) The propane dehydrogenation reaction is carried out in a fixed bed, which serves as the dehydrogenation reactor;

[0019] (2) The dehydrogenation reaction temperature is 570-630℃ (preferably 580-620℃, more preferably 590-610℃). If the dehydrogenation reaction temperature is too high, the catalyst will sinter. If the temperature is too low, the dehydrogenation activity will be low. Both too high and too low temperatures will result in low dehydrogenation efficiency.

[0020] (3) The dehydrogenation reaction pressure is 0.8-1.2 MPa (preferably 0.4-0.8 MPa, more preferably 0-0.4 MPa). Propane dehydrogenation is a reversible reaction with an increase in the number of molecules, and low pressure is conducive to the forward reaction.

[0021] The catalyst of this invention has the functions of both propane catalytic dehydrogenation and selective hydrogen combustion. If only the hydrogen combustion catalyst and the propane dehydrogenation catalyst are mixed, the effect is not ideal. During the experiment, the inventors accidentally discovered that by adding hydrophobic components or making hydrophobic modifications, and then mixing the two catalysts, the single-pass conversion rate of propane dehydrogenation can be significantly improved, and very good results can be obtained.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0023] (1) Reduce the partial pressure of hydrogen at the end of the reactor, improve the single-pass conversion rate of propane dehydrogenation, and reduce the energy consumption of product separation;

[0024] (2) By introducing heat through hydrogen burning, the temperature drop of the catalyst bed is slowed down, and the single dehydrogenation cycle of propane dehydrogenation is extended.

[0025] (3) Adjust the depth of hydrogen combustion and control the heat release of the hydrogen combustion reaction, transforming the integrated process into a self-heating process while producing hydrogen as a byproduct.

[0026] (4) The catalyst can react without hydrogen reduction, simplifying the process. Attached Figure Description

[0099]

[0100] Table 1 shows that the present invention significantly improves the conversion rate of propane and the selectivity of propylene by introducing a hydrophobic propane dehydrogenation-hydrogenation catalyst into the propane dehydrogenation reaction. However, the reaction results of Comparative Examples 6 and 7 indicate that if only the propane dehydrogenation component and the hydrogenation component are coupled without introducing a hydrophobic component or undergoing hydrophobic treatment, the introduction of the hydrogenation component actually severely hinders the propane dehydrogenation effect. Therefore, the effect of direct coupling between the propane dehydrogenation component and the hydrogenation component is significantly weaker than the case where only the propane dehydrogenation component is present.
