Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of processing of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products, and relates to a method for converting Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products and a device for implementing the method, in particular to a method for co-producing low-carbon olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products and a device for implementing the method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is a process for synthesizing liquid fuels mainly composed of saturated linear hydrocarbons from synthesis gas as raw material under the catalysis of catalysts and appropriate reaction conditions. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology can obtain very clean Fischer-Tropsch synthesis oil because the sulfur and nitrogen pollutants are removed in the synthesis gas purification unit, and the synthesis gas can be converted from coal, natural gas, coal bed gas and biomass, etc., and is not restricted by natural oil reserves. Low-carbon olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons are both chemical raw materials with high added value, which can bring considerable economic benefits. Therefore, using Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products as raw materials to produce chemical raw materials such as low-carbon olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons can better adapt to market changes.
[0003] From the literature reports in recent years, it can be seen that the processing of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products mainly adopts catalytic cracking technology, and the target product is mainly clean gasoline. Patent application CN106609154A discloses a method for producing gasoline from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis oil, which adopts two reactors in parallel to process Fischer-Tropsch oil products, wherein the first reactor is a riser reactor, and the active component of the catalyst is a zeolite molecular sieve and a five-membered ring high-silica zeolite, and the processing distillation range of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products is 200-750℃; the second reactor is a riser reactor, a fluidized bed reactor, a moving bed reactor, and a downflow reactor, and a mixed catalyst of a fresh catalyst and a regenerated catalyst is used as an aromatization catalyst, and the processing is liquefied gas and / or gasoline fraction. The conversion of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products into aromatic hydrocarbons requires a relatively low oil agent contact temperature and a relatively long oil agent contact time, while the oil agent contact temperature of the method is relatively high and the contact time is relatively short, and the aromatic hydrocarbon yield is not ideal.
[0004] Patents CN105567299B, CN105567307B and CN106609151B disclose a method for producing low-carbon olefins from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products. However, these methods do not focus on how to obtain aromatic hydrocarbons, and even less on how to co-produce low-carbon olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons.
[0005] From the existing technologies disclosed in the art, the processing of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products is mainly focused on the process of producing gasoline from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products or the process of producing low-carbon olefins from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products, and there are few reports on the process of co-producing low-carbon olefins in the process of producing aromatic hydrocarbons from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products. SUMMARY

There, it comes into contact with high-temperature oxygen-containing flue gas from the combustion furnace for coking. It then ascends to the regenerator to completely burn off the carbon deposits. The coking and regeneration temperatures are 630℃ and the pressure is 0.3 MPa, yielding regenerated catalyst. This regenerated catalyst is recycled back to the first, second, and third reactors via regeneration pipes I, II, and III, respectively. The amount of carbon deposits is calculated by measuring the carbon content in the catalyst to be recycled.
