Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of continuous reforming catalyst regeneration, and in particular to an oxychlorination reactor and an oxychlorination method for continuously reforming spent catalyst, and a regenerator and a regeneration method for continuously reforming spent catalyst. Background Art

[0002] Continuous reforming catalyst has two kinds of active centers, namely metal active center and acid active center. The metal active center of the catalyst is provided by the active component (for example, Pt) loaded on the carrier (for example, alumina), and the acid active center is provided by Cl loaded on the alumina carrier, and the Cl content of the catalyst is usually between 1-1.3 weight %. During the production operation, the acidic center Cl will be lost, and the metal center Pt will reunite. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement and adjust the chloride during the catalyst regeneration process to maintain the acidic function. At the same time, the metal Pt reunited on the catalyst is dispersed by oxychlorination, and finally the best matching of the metal function and the acid function of the catalyst is achieved, ensuring the good activity of the catalyst. The chloride adjustment reaction is as follows:

[0003] (1) Chloride compound (tetrachloroethylene) + O2 → HCl + CO2 + H2O

[0004] (2)

[0005] (3)

[0006] (4)

[0007] The existing continuous reforming catalyst chlorination renewal is carried out in the oxychlorination section of the regenerator. The general structure of the oxychlorination section is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the charred reforming catalyst flows downward through the columnar oxychlorination section bed, and the heated chloride and air are mixed and then reversely contact the catalyst. The columnar catalyst bed has the following disadvantages: (1) The bed thickness is large, and the resistance to the passage of the chlorination gas flow is large; (2) The gas flow distribution is uneven, and the oxychlorination effect of the catalyst is not exactly the same; (3) The bed heat transfer effect is poor, the catalyst bed temperature is low, and the temperature distribution is uneven, which affects the oxychlorination effect of the catalyst.

[0031] The first aspect of the present invention provides an oxychlorination reactor for continuous reforming of spent catalyst, the reactor comprising a shell, the shell being provided with a gas discharge pipe; the shell being provided with a catalyst bed arranged in an annular manner around the central axis of the shell, the catalyst bed being filled with a coke regeneration catalyst, and the interior of the shell being divided into a gas feed zone and a gas discharge zone; the gas feed zone is a zone formed by the outer side surface of the catalyst bed and the inner wall of the shell, and the gas discharge zone is a zone surrounded by the inner side surface of the catalyst bed;

[0032] The gas feed zone is used to make the oxychlorination gas flow downward and radially through the catalyst bed to contact and react with the coke regeneration catalyst, and the obtained gas product is collected in the gas discharge zone and discharged through the gas discharge pipe.

[0033] The inventors of the present invention have found that: by changing the catalyst bed in the oxychlorination section of the continuous reforming spent catalyst from a columnar shape to a double mesh arranged in an annular shape, and combining the oxychlorination gas to radially pass through the catalyst bed, contacting and reacting with the burnt regenerated catalyst loaded in the catalyst bed, compared with the thickness of the axial catalyst bed, due to the small radial thickness of the catalyst bed, the airflow resistance is also greatly reduced, the airflow distribution is more uniform, the heat carried in the airflow can more easily increase the temperature of the catalyst bed, and at the same time, the temperature of the catalyst bed is more uniform, the chlorine is applied to the catalyst faster and more evenly, the metal center dispersion effect is better, and the chlorine injection amount is lower.

[0034] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the charred regenerated catalyst is obtained by charring the spent catalyst of the continuous reforming system, in order to reduce the amount of carbon deposits of the spent catalyst of the continuous reforming system.

[0035] According to the present invention, preferably, the catalyst bed is provided with an upper plate surface and a lower plate surface, both of which are plate surfaces through which gas cannot pass; the catalyst bed is provided with an inner side surface and an outer side surface, both of which are mesh surfaces through which gas can pass. This arrangement can ensure that the oxychlorination gas flows downward and radially through the catalyst bed.

[0036] According to the present invention, preferably, the lower plate surfaces independently extend along the radial direction of the shell to connect with the inner wall of the shell. This arrangement can ensure that the oxychlorination gas flows downward and radially passes through the catalyst bed.

[0037] According to the present invention, preferably, the upper plate surface and the lower plate surface are each independently provided with at least one catalyst feed pipe and at least one catalyst discharge pipe; further preferably, the catalyst feed pipe and the catalyst discharge pipe are respectively provided on the upper plate surface and the lower plate surface. In the present invention, the catalyst feed pipe is used to introduce the charred regeneration catalyst into the catalyst bed, and the catalyst discharge pipe is used to lead the oxychlorination regeneration catalyst out of the catalyst bed.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, preferably, the ratio of the radius of the catalyst feed pipe and the catalyst discharge pipe to the radial thickness of the catalyst bed is independently 0.05-0.3:1, for example, 0.05:1, 0.1:1, 0.15:1, 0.2:1, 0.3:1, and any value in the range of any two numerical values, preferably 0.1-0.2:1.

[0039] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the radial thickness of the catalyst bed refers to the difference between the major radius and the minor radius of the catalyst bed on the same horizontal plane, that is, the difference between the outer radius of the catalyst bed and the inner radius of the catalyst bed on the same horizontal plane.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, preferably, the ratio of the radial thickness of the catalyst bed to the radius of the shell is 0.2-0.8:1, for example, 0.2:1, 0.4:1, 0.5:1, 0.6:1, 0.8:1, and any value in the range of any two values, preferably 0.4-0.6:1. When the ratio of the two is lower than 0.2, the oxychlorination gas flows smoothly, but the flow of the upper charred catalyst downward is limited due to the thinning of the radial thickness of the catalyst bed, the flow resistance increases, and the flow rate is limited, which also limits the normal charring cycle of the catalyst; when the ratio of the two is greater than 0.8, the resistance of the oxychlorination gas flow through the catalyst bed increases, and the oxychlorination effect becomes worse.

[0041] In the present invention, there is no specific limitation on the height of the catalyst bed, as long as the radial thickness of the catalyst bed meets the above limitation.

[0042] According to the present invention, preferably, the gas discharge pipe is connected to the upper plate surface of the catalyst bed, and the outer diameter of the gas discharge pipe is ≥ the radial width of the gas discharge zone along the shell; further preferably, the outer diameter of the gas discharge pipe is = the radial width of the gas discharge zone along the shell.

[0044] According to the present invention, preferably, the side wall of the shell is provided with a gas inlet for introducing the oxychlorination gas into the gas feed zone; further preferably, the gas inlet is higher than the upper plate surface of the catalyst bed. Such a configuration facilitates uniform distribution of the oxychlorination gas from top to bottom.

[0045] According to the present invention, preferably, the catalyst bed is used to contact the burnt regenerated catalyst with oxychlorination gas and react to obtain oxychlorination regenerated catalyst and gas product.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, preferably, there is a gap between the outer side surface of the catalyst bed and the inner wall of the shell.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, preferably, the ratio of the width of the gap along the radial direction of the shell to the radius of the shell is 0.1-0.4:1, for example, 0.1:1, 0.2:1, 0.25:1, 0.3:1, 0.4:1, and any value in the range of any two values, preferably 0.2-0.3:1. When the ratio of the two is less than 0.1, the radial velocity of the airflow is large, the catalyst near the outer mesh wall is blown away, a cavity is formed, the catalyst is severely worn, and the oxychlorination effect is poor; when the ratio of the two is greater than 0.4, the radial pressure of the airflow through the bed is insufficient, and the airflow cannot pass through the catalyst bed quickly, and the oxychlorination effect becomes poor.
