Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for producing low-carbon olefins by catalytic cracking of C4. More specifically, this invention relates to a method for producing low-carbon olefins by catalytic cracking of C4. Background Technology
[0002] my country's petrochemical industry produces approximately 40 million tons / year of catalytic cracking C4, primarily for the production of MTBE and alkylated gasoline, with a small amount used for civilian liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). MTBE is mainly used as a gasoline blending component, with a total capacity of approximately 23 million tons / year, while alkylated gasoline has a total capacity of approximately 22 million tons / year. Existing catalytic cracking units employ dry gas extraction and catalyst dispersion, where the dry gas acts as an inert medium and does not participate in the reaction. During catalytic cracking, low-temperature dry gas is separated from the high-temperature reaction zone and reused in the subsequent stabilization absorption system, resulting in energy waste. Using steam extraction of the catalyst requires the separation of liquid water from the subsequent separation system, also leading to energy waste. How to produce low-carbon olefins through the reprocessing of catalytic cracking C4 and reduce system energy consumption is a pressing technical challenge. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a method for producing low-carbon olefins by catalytic cracking of C4, which improves the catalyst particle size distribution, increases reaction efficiency, avoids excessive coking on the inside of the riser, saves energy, and allows for continuous operation.
[0004] To achieve these objectives and other advantages according to the present invention, a method for producing low-carbon olefins by catalytic cracking of C4 is provided, comprising: gasifying catalytic cracking C4 in a gasifier, wherein the outlet temperature of the gasifier is 60-65°C and the pressure is set to 0.5-0.8 MPa to ensure that the catalytic cracking C4 is in a gasified state; and replacing the pre-lifted dry gas with the gasified catalytic cracking C4, which enters the catalyst reactor riser pipe from the bottom pre-lift section to contact the catalyst and react.
[0005] Preferably, the catalyst reactor is a single riser reactor, and the reaction conditions are a temperature of 650-750℃, a pressure of 0.13-0.2MPa, a residence time of 1-8s, and a catalyst-to-oil ratio of 5-20:1.
[0006] Preferably, the catalyst reactor is a dual-riser reactor, in which the gasified catalytic cracking C4 is divided into two feed streams. The first feed stream accounts for 50-100% of the total feed and replaces the pre-riser dry gas. It enters the bottom pre-riser section of the first riser of the catalytic reactor to contact the catalyst and react. The reaction conditions are: temperature 650-750℃, pressure 0.13-0.2MPa, residence time 1-8s, and catalyst-to-oil ratio 5-20:1. The second feed stream replaces the pre-riser steam and enters the bottom steam stripping section of the second riser of the catalytic reactor to contact the catalyst and react. The reaction conditions are: temperature 530-650℃, pressure 0.13-0.2MPa, residence time 2-10s, and catalyst-to-oil ratio 5-30:1.
[0007] Preferably, the catalyst reactor is a dual-riser reactor, in which the gasified catalytic cracking C4 is divided into two feed streams. The first feed stream accounts for 50-100% of the total feed and replaces the pre-riser dry gas as it enters the bottom pre-riser section of the first riser of the catalytic reactor to contact the catalyst and react. The reaction conditions are: temperature 650-750℃, pressure 0.13-0.2MPa, residence time 1-8s, and catalyst-to-oil ratio 5-20:1. The second feed stream enters the dense-phase bed reaction zone after entering the top of the second riser of the catalytic reactor. The reaction conditions are: temperature 510-630℃, pressure 0.13-0.2MPa, reaction time approximately 10-40min, and catalyst-to-oil ratio 5-30:1.
[0008] Preferably, the catalyst reactor is a dual-riseer reactor, in which the gasified catalytic cracking C4 is divided into three feed streams. The first feed stream accounts for 50-100% of the total feed and replaces the pre-riseer dry gas as it enters the bottom pre-riseer section of the first riser of the catalytic reactor to contact the catalyst and react. The reaction conditions are: temperature 650-750℃, pressure 0.13-0.2MPa, residence time 1-8s, and catalyst-to-oil ratio 5-20:1. The second feed stream accounts for no more than 20% of the total feed and replaces the pre-riseer steam as it enters the catalyst. The catalyst reacts in contact with the steam stripping section at the bottom of the second riser of the catalytic reactor. The reaction conditions are: temperature 530–650℃, pressure 0.13–0.2MPa, residence time 2–10s, and catalyst-to-oil ratio 5–30:1. The feed amount of the third stream does not exceed 40% of the total feed. After entering the top of the second riser of the catalytic reactor, it enters the dense phase bed reaction zone. The reaction conditions are: temperature 510–630℃, pressure 0.13–0.2MPa, reaction time approximately 10–40min, and catalyst-to-oil ratio 5–30:1.
[0009] Preferably, the catalytic cracking C4 includes conventional catalytic cracking C4 and catalytic pyrolysis C4.
[0010] Preferably, the catalyst includes a catalytic cracking catalyst, a catalytic pyrolysis catalyst, and an additive that produces more propylene, with a specific surface area of 70–200 m². 2 / g, pore volume 0.18~0.26mL / g, average particle size between 40~80μm, pyrolysis activity index between 50~75%.
[0011] Preferably, the low-carbon olefins include ethylene and propylene.
[0012] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0013] First, this invention is based on a single riser reactor. Replacing the pre-riser dry gas with the gasified C4 from catalytic cracking can improve catalyst distribution, save the use of inert medium dry gas, utilize the highest temperature range of oil-gas contact to convert C4 components, improve reaction efficiency, avoid a large amount of coking inside the riser, save energy, and enable continuous operation.
[0014] Secondly, the present invention is based on a dual riser reactor, which gasifies catalytic cracking C4 and feeds it in two streams. The first stream replaces the pre-riser dry gas, which not only improves the catalyst distribution and saves the use of inert medium dry gas, but also replaces the pre-riser steam, which can save steam and thus save energy. The high-temperature reaction zone at the bottom of the second riser is used to convert C4 components.
[0015] Third, this invention is based on a dual riser reactor. After the catalytic cracking C4 is gasified, it is fed into two streams. The first stream replaces the pre-lifted dry gas. In addition to improving the catalyst distribution and saving the use of inert medium dry gas, the second stream enters the dense phase bed reaction zone after entering the top of the second riser of the catalytic reactor. It can also take advantage of the long residence time in the dense phase bed reaction zone to convert the catalytic cracking C4 into low carbon olefins.
[0016] Fourth, this invention is based on a dual-riser reactor. After the catalytic cracking C4 is gasified, it is fed in three streams. The first stream replaces the pre-riser dry gas, which not only improves the catalyst distribution and saves the use of inert medium dry gas, but also replaces the pre-riser steam, which can save steam and thus save energy. The high-temperature reaction zone at the bottom of the second riser is used to convert C4 components. The third stream enters the dense phase bed reaction zone after entering the top of the second riser of the catalytic reactor. It can also take advantage of the long residence time in the dense phase bed reaction zone to convert catalytic cracking C4 into low-carbon olefins.
[0017] Fifth, the C4 gasification process of this invention, after entering the reaction system, can avoid sudden temperature drops and coking inside the reactor, which would affect its long-term operation and conversion efficiency. It can reduce the material and energy consumption of dry gas and steam, improve the conversion efficiency of C4 components, and extend the operating cycle. It can be modified on existing conventional catalytic cracking and catalytic pyrolysis equipment.

[0091] Example 6 involves catalytic cracking of C4. Compared to Example 4, all the gasified catalytic cracked C4 is fed into the first reaction zone instead of the pre-lifted dry gas. Due to the high temperature in the first reaction zone, the feedstock is converted quickly in the first reaction zone, and the conversion rate is improved. The diene yield is 37.52%, the total conversion rate is 57.60%, and the olefin conversion rate is 88.62%.
[0092] Example 7 involves catalytic cracking of C4. Compared to Example 6, 80% of the gasified catalytic cracked C4 is fed into the first reaction zone to replace the pre-lifted dry gas, and 20% of the catalytic cracked C4 is fed into the second reaction zone. Since the temperature in the second reaction zone is lower than that in the first reaction zone, the olefin conversion rate is reduced, the diene yield is 37.21%, the total conversion rate is 54.04%, and the olefin conversion rate is 83.14%.
[0093] Example 8 involved catalytic cracking of C4. Compared to Example 6, 80% of the gasified catalytic cracked C4 was fed into the first reaction zone to replace the pre-lifted dry gas, and 20% of the catalytic cracked C4 was fed into the third reaction zone. Since the temperature in the third reaction zone was lower than that in the first reaction zone but the reaction time was longer, the olefin conversion rate was slightly reduced, the diene yield was 39.73%, the total conversion rate was 57.08%, and the olefin conversion rate was 87.82%.
[0094] Comparative Example 1 uses conventional catalytic cracking C4. Compared to Example 1, the conventional catalytic cracking C4 is not gasified and is directly mixed with fresh feedstock and fed directly into the riser reactor through its nozzle. This causes the reaction temperature in the feed section of the reactor to drop rapidly, affecting the atomization effect of the feedstock nozzle and resulting in coking near the feed section, which affects long-cycle operation. At the same time, the reaction takes place in a low-temperature zone, resulting in a very low conversion rate. The diene yield is 9.94%, the total conversion rate is 16.81%, and the olefin conversion rate is 36.54%.
[0095] Comparative Example 2 involved catalytic cracking of C4. Compared to Example 1, the catalytic cracked C4 was not gasified and was directly mixed with fresh feedstock before entering the riser reactor through its nozzle. This caused the reaction temperature in the feed section of the reactor to drop rapidly, affecting the atomization effect of the feedstock nozzle and resulting in coking near the feed section, which affected long-cycle operation. At the same time, the reaction was carried out in the low-temperature zone, resulting in a very low conversion rate. The diene yield was 16.31%, the total conversion rate was 25.69%, and the olefin conversion rate was 39.52%.
[0096] In summary, the technical solution of the present invention includes the following steps: after the catalytic cracking C4 is gasified and enters the reaction system, 1) the catalytic cracking C4 replaces the pre-lifted dry gas and enters the pre-lifted section of the riser reactor for reaction; 2) the catalytic cracking C4 replaces the pre-lifted steam and enters the stripping section of the second reaction zone for reaction; 3) the catalytic cracking C4 enters the dense phase bed, i.e., the third reaction zone for reaction; and 4) the catalytic cracking C4 is integrated into multiple reaction zones.
[0097] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: First, the catalytic cracking C4 conversion process provided by the present invention can be operated continuously and for a long period of time; Second, the method for producing low-carbon olefins from catalytic cracking C4 provided by the present invention is easy to operate and can be extended to the modification of all catalytic cracking and catalytic pyrolysis units; Third, the present invention expands the method for the efficient conversion of catalytic cracking C4 to low-carbon olefins, adapts to all current catalytic cracking and catalytic pyrolysis catalyst systems, and does not require the development of a dedicated catalyst system; Fourth, it replaces pre-lifted dry gas and pre-lifted steam, saving energy consumption; Fifth, the catalytic cracking C4 conversion rate and diene yield are high.
