Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ethylene tar processing technology, and more specifically to an ethylene tar refining catalyst system and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Ethylene tar, also known as cracked tar, is a high-boiling-point liquid product of the steam cracking process for producing ethylene. It belongs to the diesel fraction (205-360℃) and mainly originates from the bottom of quench oil towers and heavy fuel oil stripping towers. Ethylene tar is a heavy distillate oil rich in aromatics, primarily containing monocyclic heavy aromatics, polycyclic or fused-ring aromatics. It has a complex composition, is prone to polymerization, and has high levels of gum, heavy metals, and ash, making it unsuitable for direct use. The yield of ethylene tar varies depending on the cracking feedstock, generally accounting for about 1 / 5 of the ethylene production. With the increasing use of heavier feedstocks in ethylene production, its yield shows an increasing trend.

[0003] Ethylene tar has a high yield (approximately 70%) in the fractions between 205℃ and 300℃, followed by gum and asphaltenes. Ethylene tar also has a high sulfur content, high polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content, high density, and short side chains in its aromatic compounds. The main components of the fraction from the initial boiling point to 205℃ are indene and its homologues; the fraction from 205℃ to 225℃ is naphthalene; the fraction from 225℃ to 245℃ is mainly methylnaphthalene; the fraction from 245℃ to 300℃ is mainly dimethylnaphthalene; the fraction from 300℃ to 360℃ contains large amounts of anthracene, acenaphthene, and phenanthrene; and the substances above 360℃ are mainly gums and asphaltenes with a high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio. Therefore, all fractions of ethylene tar are important raw materials for chemical organic synthesis, from which many valuable chemical products can be extracted, demonstrating significant utilization value.

[0004] The main uses of ethylene tar include its application as fuel, production of carbon black, extraction of naphthalene and methylnaphthalene, and production of aromatic solvent oils. Hydrogenation of ethylene tar can produce high-value-added BTX aromatics, significantly improving the utilization rate of ethylene tar and contributing to the value-added utilization of ethylene byproducts, thus possessing promising market prospects. Foreign companies have already begun using cracked fuel oil to produce aromatic solvent oils, with major producers including ExxonMobil (USA), Shell (Netherlands), and Maruzen Petroleum (Japan). Overall, ethylene tar is primarily used for low-value fuel applications. Being untreated, rich in sulfur and nitrogen, and highly unsaturated, its fuel utilization will become increasingly limited, and its future prospects remain uncertain.

[0005] Research on catalysts for the hydrotreating of heavy distillate oils has long been one of the most active areas of research. Alumina-supported Co(Ni)Mo(W) / Al₂O₃ catalysts were first applied in industrial hydrotreating reactions as early as 1943 and remain commonly used catalysts in many hydrorefining processes. Currently, the most common combination of active components in typical hydrotreating catalysts is Co-Mo, Ni-Mo, and Ni-W, which typically contain 1-4 wt% Co(Ni)O, 8-16 wt% MoO₃, or 12-25 wt% WO₃.

[0006] US5300212 discloses a process for hydrotreating inferior heavy oil. This method involves the conversion of heavy oil feedstock, hydrogen, and catalyst in two reactors. Specifically, the feedstock and a dispersed catalyst with molybdenum phosphate as a precursor first enter a first slurry-bed hydrotreating reactor, where a conversion reaction occurs at 343–482°C and 0.345–34.5 MPa. The reaction products, after separation, enter a second fluidized bed hydrotreating reactor, where conversion occurs at 343–399°C and 5.5–27.6 MPa under the action of a supported catalyst. The reaction products then enter a distillation column, yielding a <524°C fraction and a >524°C fraction. The <524°C fraction is taken as the product, while the >524°C heavy fraction is recycled back to the second reactor. This process can upgrade inferior heavy oil. However, because the first reactor uses a dispersed catalyst and the second reactor uses a supported catalyst, catalyst particles carried out from the first reactor can easily clog the pores of the heavily supported catalyst in the second reactor or cover the active sites of the catalyst, causing catalyst deactivation and affecting the overall operating cycle.

[0007] The gasoline hydrotreating catalyst disclosed in CN85104438 uses high-purity alumina as a support, tungsten and nickel as active components, and fluorine as an auxiliary agent. The fluorine in this catalyst is easily lost during industrial operation, and it corrodes equipment and pollutes the environment.

[0008] CN1872959A discloses a hydrogenation catalyst using alumina as a support, nickel, molybdenum, and tungsten as active components, and fluorine as an auxiliary agent. Compared with traditional bimetallic hydrogenation catalysts, the trimetallic catalyst provided by this catalyst exhibits improved activity. However, due to limitations in support performance and other factors, the improvement is limited, and the activity remains relatively low. Furthermore, this catalyst also faces challenges such as fluorine loss during industrial operation, fluorine corrosion of equipment, and environmental pollution.

[0009] CN1040610A discloses a hydrorefining catalyst supported on γ-Al₂O₃ containing TiO₂. The supported catalyst γ-Al₂O₃ contains 5-30% titanium oxide, with W, Mo, and Ni as active components. The performance of the hydrorefining catalyst supported on TiO₂-modified Al₂O₃ is improved to some extent. However, the support has a lower acidity, especially fewer moderately strong acid centers, which is unfavorable for the ring-opening and breaking of nitrogen heterocycles, resulting in a less significant denitrification effect.

[0010] The petroleum hydrocarbon hydrotreating method proposed in USP4880524 employs a highly active hydrogenation catalyst. This catalyst is of the Ni-Mo / Al₂O₃ type with a specific surface area greater than 300 m². 2 / g, with pore sizes smaller than 7nm exceeding 70%. This catalyst exhibits good initial hydrorefining activity for light distillate oils, but it is prone to pore blockage and deactivation when processing distillate oils containing naphthalene and naphthalene derivatives. Summary of the Invention

[0011] In view of the technical problem of the contradiction between high naphthalene conversion and high selectivity of tetrahydronaphthalene in ethylene tar refining catalysts in the prior art, one of the objectives of this invention is to provide an ethylene tar refining catalyst system: the upper bed support is Al2O3, which has low acid content of strong acids, large pore size, strong carbon capacity, and relatively low reaction temperature, enabling the hydrogenation of a partially removed diene to a monoolefin, avoiding the formation of polymers at high temperatures; the middle bed support is Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2, which has high acid content of strong acids, large specific surface area, and high hydrogenation activity of TiO2, but poor thermal stability. Its combination with Al2O3-SiO2 significantly improves thermal stability while maintaining strong hydrogenation activity, achieving a high naphthalene conversion rate; the lower bed support is Al2O3-SiO2, with lower acid content of strong acids than the middle bed, and loaded with active metals, enabling deep desulfurization and denitrification. The catalyst system of this invention can also vary the packing volume of the upper, middle, and lower catalysts according to different raw material compositions. Using different supports in the upper, middle, and lower beds of this invention, catalysts modified with several of the elements Ni, Mo, La, W, P, and Co were applied to the hydrorefining of ethylene tar under relatively mild reaction conditions (inlet temperature 240°C, reaction pressure 2.5 MPa, H2 / Oil molar ratio 1000, and feed liquid hourly space velocity 0.8 h⁻¹). -1 With a naphthalene conversion rate of over 97%, a bromine value of less than 0.5 g Br2 / 100 g oil in hydrogenated products, a tetrahydronaphthalene selectivity of 99%, and sulfur and nitrogen content of less than 2 ppm, it can be used as a high-quality raw material for the production of BTX, realizing the upgrading of oil products to chemical products and greatly enhancing the added value of the products.

The calcination temperature is preferably 250–750°C, more preferably 350–550°C. The calcination time is preferably 2–12 hours, more preferably 3–8 hours. There are no particular requirements for the calcination atmosphere; both oxidizing and inert atmospheres are acceptable and can yield comparable technical effects. Oxidizing atmospheres include, but are not limited to, oxygen-containing atmospheres, with air atmospheres preferred from an economic perspective. Inert atmospheres include, but are not limited to, at least one of nitrogen or inert gas atmospheres, where the inert gas can be nitrogen, helium, argon, etc. From an economic perspective, nitrogen is often chosen as the inert atmosphere. For comparability, air atmosphere is used in all embodiments of the present invention.

[0092] According to the present invention, compounds of Ni are not particularly limited, such as, but not limited to, nickel nitrate, nickel acetate, nickel oxalate, etc. Compounds of Mo are not particularly limited, such as, but not limited to, ammonium molybdate, ammonium heptamolybdate, etc. Compounds of La are not particularly limited, such as, but not limited to, lanthanum nitrate, lanthanum chloride, lanthanum acetate, etc. Compounds of W are not particularly limited, such as, but not limited to, ammonium tungstate, ammonium metatungstate, tungstic acid, etc. Compounds of P are not particularly limited, such as, but not limited to, phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, etc. Compounds of Co are not particularly limited, such as, but not limited to, cobalt acetate, cobalt nitrate, cobalt carbonate, etc.

[0093] To achieve the second objective mentioned above, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0094] The application of the catalyst system described in any one of the above embodiments in the refining of ethylene tar includes:

[0095] S41. The crude ethylene tar is subjected to deweighting treatment and a first-stage hydrogenation treatment in sequence to produce refined raw material;

[0096] S42. The refined raw material is passed into a reactor containing the catalyst system for a refining reaction to obtain the refined product.

[0097] In step S41, the ethylene tar refining feedstock contains, by mass percentage, 2%–5% dienes, 30%–38% naphthalene compounds, and 25–50 mg / 100g oil gum; and / or in step S42, the refining reaction conditions include: an inlet temperature of 200℃–270℃, a reaction pressure of 2.3–6.0 MPa, a hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio of 400–1500, and a liquid hourly space velocity of 0.2–1.8 h⁻¹. -1 .

[0098] According to the present invention, in step S42, the refined raw material enters from the top and exits from the bottom.

[0099] According to the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the pressure described herein refers to a gauge manometer.

[0100] According to the present invention, the catalyst system can be pre-sulfurized before the contact is performed. Pre-sulfurization is a conventional operation in the art, and the present invention does not intend to impose excessive limitations on it. Exemplarily, pre-sulfurization is performed using the following steps: cyclohexane containing 100–10000 ppm CS2 is used as the sulfiding oil, and the mixture is subjected to a space velocity of 0.2–8 h⁻¹. -1 The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 100–2500:1, and the catalyst is pre-sulfurized at an operating pressure of 1.0–10.0 MPa.

[0101] In the above pre-sulfurization, the concentration of CS2 in the sulfurized oil is preferably 500 to 5000 ppm, such as, but not limited to, 500 ppm, 1000 ppm, 1500 ppm, 2000 ppm, 2500 ppm, 3000 ppm, 3500 ppm, 4000 ppm, 4500 ppm, 5000 ppm, etc. More preferably, it is 1000 ppm, 1500 ppm, 2000 ppm, 2500 ppm, 3000 ppm, 3500 ppm.

[0102] However, for comparison, the catalyst in the specific embodiment of the present invention is sulfided using the following steps: Under a system pressure of 0.5 MPa, N2 is introduced at a rate of 30°C / h to raise the temperature to 170°C, with an N2 flow rate of 850 ml / min. N2 is then stopped, and H2 and sulfided oil (containing 2500 ppm CS2) are introduced. The system pressure is raised to 2.5 MPa, the hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 300, and the sulfided oil volume hourly space velocity is 4.0 h⁻¹. -1 Simultaneously, the temperature is increased to 230℃ at a rate of 20℃ / h for 3 hours, held at this temperature for 4 hours, then increased to 320℃ at a rate of 20℃ / h for 4.5 hours, and held at this temperature for 24 hours, at which point the catalyst sulfidation is complete. With sulfiding oil flowing through, the bed inlet temperature is lowered to the required reaction temperature.

[0103] According to the present invention, both the degravation treatment and the first-stage hydrogenation treatment are conventional operations in the art, and the present invention does not intend to impose any special limitations on them. As long as the refined raw materials with the desired composition can be obtained, they can be applied to the present invention.

[0104] The beneficial effects of this invention are at least as follows: using the catalyst system provided by this invention, the bromine value of the refined ethylene tar product obtained is less than 0.5gBr2 / 100g oil, the selectivity of tetrahydronaphthalene is 99%, and the sulfur and nitrogen content is less than 2ppm. It can be used as a high-quality raw material for the production of BTX, realizing the upgrading of oil products to chemical products, greatly improving the added value of the product, and achieving good technical results.

The mixture was kneaded in a kneader to form a plastic body, and then shaped in an extruder to obtain a clover-shaped carrier with a diameter of 1.5mm and a length of 3.0mm. The carrier was dried at room temperature for 24 hours, dried in an oven at 120℃ for 6 hours, and calcined in a muffle furnace at 550℃ for 3 hours to obtain the upper Al2O3 carrier.

[0114] Second carrier: 85.08 g of tetrabutyl titanate was dissolved in 60 g of anhydrous ethanol and stirred until homogeneous to obtain solution 1. 138.88 g of tetraethyl orthosilicate and an appropriate amount of 90 g of anhydrous ethanol solution were mixed and stirred until homogeneous to obtain solution 2. 115 g of anhydrous ethanol and 60 g of deionized water were mixed until homogeneous, and the pH was adjusted to 4 with nitric acid to obtain solution 3. Solutions 1 and 2 were slowly added dropwise under vigorous stirring. After the addition was completed, stirring was continued for 2 hours to obtain solution 4. Finally, solution 4 was slowly added to 340 g of dried Al2O3 powder and impregnated for 12 hours. After drying at 110℃ for 4 hours, it was calcined in a muffle furnace at 500℃ for 4 hours and cooled to room temperature to prepare a middle-layer Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 powder. 400g of Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 powder, 16g of guar gum powder, and 2.4g of hydroxymethyl cellulose were thoroughly mixed, and 360g of an aqueous solution containing 1.5% nitric acid, 1% phosphoric acid, and 1% glacial acetic acid was added. The mixture was kneaded in a kneader to form a plastic body, then shaped in an extruder, cured, dried, and calcined at high temperature to obtain the middle-bed Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 support. The mass ratio of Al2O3, TiO2, and SiO2 was 85:5:10.

[0115] The third carrier: 364 g of Al2O3 powder, 90 g of 40% silica sol, 16 g of guar gum powder, and 2.4 g of hydroxymethyl cellulose were thoroughly mixed, and 400 g of an aqueous solution containing 2.5% nitric acid was added. The mixture was kneaded in a kneader to form a plastic body, and then shaped in an extruder to obtain a clover-shaped carrier with a diameter of 1.5 mm and a length of 3.0 mm. The carrier was dried at room temperature for 24 hours, dried in an oven at 120°C for 6 hours, and calcined in a muffle furnace at 550°C for 3 hours to obtain the lower bed carrier. The mass ratio of Al2O3 to SiO2 was 91:9.

[0120] 3. Catalyst loading

[0121] The first catalyst, the second catalyst, and the third catalyst are loaded into the adiabatic bed reactor in a volume ratio of 3:5:2, with the reactants flowing from top to bottom.

[0122] 4. Catalyst sulfidation

[0123] At a system pressure of 0.5 MPa, N2 was introduced at a rate of 30 °C / h to raise the temperature to 170 °C. The N2 flow rate was 850 ml / min. Then, N2 was stopped, and H2 and sulfurized oil (containing 2500 ppm CS2) were introduced. The system pressure rose to 2.5 MPa, the hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio was 300, and the sulfurized oil volume hourly space velocity was 4.0 h⁻¹. -1 Simultaneously, the temperature is increased to 230℃ at a rate of 20℃ / h for 3 hours, held at this temperature for 4 hours, then increased to 320℃ at a rate of 20℃ / h for 4.5 hours, and held at this temperature for 24 hours, at which point the catalyst sulfidation is complete. With sulfiding oil flowing through, the bed inlet temperature is lowered to the required reaction temperature.
