Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of petrochemical industry, and particularly relates to a system for producing low-carbon olefins from methanol and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ethylene, propylene and butene are important basic chemicals in the field of petrochemical industry and are widely used in the fields of plastics, fibers, medicines and textiles. Ethylene, propylene and butene can be produced by catalytic cracking, naphtha steam cracking, dehydrogenation of ethane, propane and butane, and methanol-to-ethylene, methanol-to-propylene and methanol-to-butene. Among them, the method of producing low-carbon olefins such as ethylene, propylene and butene from methanol is attracting more and more attention due to its wide range of raw materials, low investment and close combination of coal chemical industry and petroleum chemical industry. The reaction of methanol-to-low-carbon alkane is a strong exothermic reaction with short reaction time. Once the "carbon pool" is formed in the methanol-to-low-carbon olefin reaction, the reaction of methanol conversion to low-carbon olefins can be completed in less than 0.2S, and a large amount of heat is released. Ethylene, propylene and butene produced by methanol conversion are very active, and can further generate saturated hydrocarbons, C6+ olefins and coke through cyclization, dehydrogenation, hydrogen transfer, condensation and alkylation under the acid catalysis of molecular sieves. Controlling the reaction time and timely heat removal are the keys to producing low-carbon olefins from methanol. In the already industrialized production device, the main method is to use a dense-phase fluidized bed reactor and a special catalyst based on small-pore SAPO molecular sieves.

[0003] The existing industrialized methanol-to-low-carbon olefin is based on the reaction form of a fluidized catalytic device, and a special catalyst based on small-pore SAPO molecular sieves and a dense-phase fluidized bed reactor are used according to the specific characteristics of methanol-to-low-carbon olefin. This kind of dense-phase fluidized bed reactor needs to maintain a good catalyst dense-phase bed height and a certain reaction time, and lacks good operation flexibility, so the device processing capacity is low.

[0004] The existing special catalyst based on small-pore SAPO molecular sieves has high activity, so that the circulating amount of catalyst between the dense-phase fluidized bed reactor and the regenerator is small, and the respective characteristics of the reactor and the regenerator cannot be exerted through a large amount of catalyst circulation.

[0005] Patent No. CN114133309A discloses a two-stage fluidized bed reactor, in which the upper stage is an MTO reaction stage and the lower stage is a C4C5 reaction stage. Both reactors are fluidized bed reactors, which limit the change of processing scale of the dense-phase bed reactor, and the heat removal equipment is arranged in the dense-phase bed, which is complicated in operation and limits the flexibility of the device.

[0006] Patent No. CN114377729A discloses a fluidized bed regenerator, a device for preparing low-carbon olefins and its application. The fluidized bed regenerator comprises a second activation zone, a first activation zone and a gas-solid separation zone from bottom to top. The invention is also a dense-phase fluidized bed reactor, and the equipment involved in the invention is complex, and the engineering difficulty is large. The obvious shortcomings are that the device processing scale is limited, the operation difficulty is large, and the energy consumption is high.

[0007] Patent No. CN112546974A discloses a fluidized bed reactor for methanol to olefins. It comprises a fast bed reactor, a double dense bed and a cross-type feed distributor, which comprises one or more horizontal feed distribution branches, one or more inclined feed distribution branches and a feed main pipe, wherein the horizontal feed distribution branch and the inclined feed distribution branch are connected with the feed main pipe, and the connection port of the feed main pipe with the fast bed reactor is arranged at the lower part of the fast bed reactor. When the fluidized bed reactor of the invention is used for methanol to olefins, it has the advantage of high oxide conversion rate during oxide recycling. The invention mainly solves the difficulty of improving the conversion rate of oxide during recycling, and has great improvement compared with the previous fluidized bed bed layer reaction, but for methanol raw material, it still has small operation flexibility and cannot adjust the change of reaction heat in time. SUMMARY

[0034] The present application will be described in detail below. Figures 1-4 The present application will be described in detail below.

[0035] Embodiment

[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] A system for producing low-carbon olefins from methanol comprises a riser reactor 1, a reaction settler 5 connected to the gas outlet end of the riser reactor 1, a regenerator 27 communicated with the reaction settler 5, a regenerative inclined pipe 17 connected to the bottom of the regenerator 27, the regenerator 27 communicated with the riser reactor 1 through the regenerative inclined pipe 17, a first external heat exchanger 10 communicated with the reaction settler 5, a downcomer 12 connected to the first external heat exchanger 10, and the downcomer 12 communicated with the riser reactor 1.

[0038] As shown, the spent catalyst (the carbon content on the spent catalyst is 1-7%) is introduced into the riser reactor 1 through the downcomer 12 and the regenerative inclined pipe 17, which ensures the concentration of the catalyst in the riser reactor 1, provides the required temperature for producing low-carbon olefins from methanol, and maintains a large catalyst circulation amount to maintain the reaction heat capacity of the catalyst in the riser reactor 1, so that the temperature of the riser reactor 1 is controllable and adjustable, and can be flexibly adjusted according to the change of the methanol treatment amount. Figure 1 ​

[0039] The outlet of the downcomer 12 can be arranged above or below the outlet of the regenerative inclined pipe 17, and in order to better react the methanol and reduce energy loss, the connection between the downcomer 12 and the riser reactor 1 is arranged above the connection between the regenerative inclined pipe 17 and the riser reactor 1, so that the high-temperature catalyst is first contacted with the methanol to heat the methanol to about 350°C, reaching the initial reaction temperature of the methanol, and then contacted with the low-temperature catalyst containing carbon pool to make the methanol react rapidly.

[0040] The first external heat exchanger 10 is connected with the first feeding pipe 8 which is communicated with the reaction settler 5, and the first feeding pipe 8 is arranged obliquely to the first external heat exchanger 10 to facilitate the flow of catalyst into the first external heat exchanger 10. The first external heat exchanger 10 is also connected with a heat extraction pipe which evaporates water in the pipe to extract heat after absorbing heat. The bottom of the first external heat exchanger 10 is also provided with a first fluidization air inlet 11 which introduces gas to keep the catalyst in the first external heat exchanger 10 and the reaction settler 5 in a flowing state, ensuring that the pipeline will not be blocked. The return pipe 9 which is communicated with the reaction settler 5 can introduce excess fluidization air into the first external heat exchanger 10 again for reuse, increasing the utilization rate of fluidization air.

[0041] The riser reactor 1 includes a vertical pipe and a horizontal pipe 3 connected to the upper end of the vertical pipe, and the bottom of the vertical pipe is provided with a first lifting medium inlet 16, and the vertical pipe is provided with a feeding port 15 above the first lifting medium inlet 16. Methanol is introduced into the vertical pipe through the feeding port 15, and the first lifting medium inlet 16 inputs lifting gas to mix and react the methanol and catalyst, and the reaction gas enters the reaction settler 5 through the horizontal pipe 3.

[0042] The reaction settler 5 comprises a reaction settler shell, a rough cyclone 4 and a single-stage cyclone 30 are arranged in the reaction settler shell, the gas inlet end of the rough cyclone 4 is connected with the gas outlet end of the riser reactor 1, and the inner lower end of the reaction settler shell is provided with a first stripping section 13. The rough cyclone 4 separates the catalyst from the reaction gas generated by the riser reactor 1; in the rough cyclone 4, the reaction gas and the catalyst are separated in a very short time, greatly reducing the side reactions (cracking, condensation, coking and other reactions of the reaction gas rich in olefins), and ensuring the selectivity of the methanol-to-olefin process. The separated catalyst falls into the first stripping section 13, steam is introduced into the first stripping section 13 to replace the reaction gas entrained in the catalyst, preventing the reaction gas of methanol from being entrained into the regenerator 27 or the riser reactor 1, causing waste of raw materials and increasing the cracking of olefins in the reaction product. The rough cyclone 4 and the single-stage cyclone 30 are not connected, which facilitates the entry of other gases in the reaction settler 5 into the single-stage cyclone 30; the gas first enters the rough cyclone 4 for separation of large-particle catalyst, and the gas discharged from the rough cyclone 4 enters the single-stage cyclone 30 again for separation; the gas outlet of the single-stage cyclone 30 is connected with a reaction oil gas collecting chamber 7, and the reaction oil gas collecting chamber 7 collects the reaction gas. The efficiencies of the rough cyclone 4 and the single-stage cyclone 30 are both above 90%, and the rough cyclone 4 and the single-stage cyclone 30 are provided with 6 groups or 8 groups, and the total separation efficiency is above 99.99%.

[0043] The regenerator 27 comprises a regenerator shell and a lead-in pipe 29 penetrating through the bottom of the regenerator shell, the bottom of the lead-in pipe 29 is provided with a second lifting medium inlet 19, the lead-in pipe 29 is communicated with a spent catalyst inclined pipe 14, the spent catalyst inclined pipe 14 is communicated with the first stripping section 13, and the inner lower end of the regenerator shell is provided with a second stripping section 22. The spent catalyst flows into the lower end of the lead-in pipe 29 through the spent catalyst inclined pipe 14, the spent catalyst is transported into the regenerator 27 by inputting lifting gas through the second lifting medium inlet 19 to perform a coking operation to obtain regenerated catalyst (the carbon content on the regenerated catalyst is 0.1-1%); since the spent catalyst is transported by using lifting gas, the spent catalyst can be dispersed into the regenerator 27, ensuring the coking effect; the second stripping section 22 replaces the air in the coked catalyst, preventing the air from being entrained into the regenerated inclined pipe 17. The first stripping section 13 and the second stripping section 22 are provided with annular and disc-shaped gratings, the gratings can break bubbles, increase the gas-solid contact probability, and improve the stripping effect.

[0044] A first slide valve 28 is installed in the feed pipe 12 to prevent gas in the riser reactor 1 from entering the first external heat exchanger 10; a second slide valve 20 is installed in the regeneration inclined pipe 17 to prevent gas in the riser reactor 1 from entering the regenerator 27; a third slide valve 18 is installed in the waiting inclined pipe 14 to prevent gas in the regenerator 27 from entering the reaction settling tank 5.

[0045] To further enhance the coking effect of the catalyst, it is necessary to increase the contact area between the catalyst and air. Therefore, a catalyst distributor 26 is connected to the upper end of the inlet pipe 29, and a main air distributor 21 located below the catalyst distributor 26 is connected to the regenerator shell. The distributor evenly disperses the catalyst and air, ensuring uniform mixing and thus improving the coking efficiency. The outlets of the catalyst distributor 26 and the main air distributor 21 are positioned opposite each other, allowing the catalyst and air to mix counter-currently during coking, ensuring both coking time and coking effect.

[0046] A cyclone separator assembly 6 is installed inside the regenerator housing. The cyclone separator assembly 6 further separates the catalyst from the gas, reducing catalyst loss. The outlet of the cyclone separator assembly 6 is connected to the regeneration flue gas outlet 2, from which excess gas is discharged and then discharged to the waste heat recovery unit.

[0047] Setting up cyclone separator group 6 as a two-stage cyclone separator can ensure the separation effect of the catalyst; the gas enters from the inlet of the first-stage cyclone separator, undergoes preliminary separation, and then enters the second-stage cyclone separator through the pipeline for further separation.

[0048] The regenerator 27 is connected to the second external heat exchanger 25, which recovers and reuses the heat in the regenerator 27. The second external heat exchanger 25 is connected to a second feed pipe 24, which communicates with the regenerator 27. The second external heat exchanger 25 is also connected to a heat exchange tube, which absorbs heat and causes the water in the tube to evaporate, thereby extracting heat. The bottom of the second external heat exchanger 25 is also provided with a second fluidizing air inlet 23, which introduces gas to keep the catalyst in the second external heat exchanger 25 and the regenerator 27 in a flowing state, ensuring that the pipeline is not blocked.

[0049] Example 2:

[0050] The second arrangement of the riser reactor 1, the reaction settling tank 5, and the regenerator 27 in this application is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 The diagram shows a coaxial arrangement of the riser reactor 1 and the reaction settling tank 5. The riser reactor 1 extends from the bottom of the reaction settling tank 5 and into it, and is connected to the coarse cyclone separator 4. In this configuration, the riser reactor 1 is an externally folded riser.

[0051] After the reaction gas is separated by the coarse cyclone separator 4 and the single-stage cyclone separator 30, the catalyst to be generated is obtained. After being stripped by the first stripping section 13, the catalyst enters the regenerator 27 through the catalyst inclined tube 14. Since the outlet of the catalyst inclined tube 14 is located above the main air distributor 21, the catalyst to be generated can flow directly to the main air distributor 21 and mix with air for coking.

[0052] This layout structure has the advantages of simple operation, strong resistance to accidents, and small footprint.

[0053] Example 3:

[0054] The third arrangement of the riser reactor 1, the reaction settling tank 5, and the regenerator 27 in this application is as follows: Figure 3 As shown. Compared to the second arrangement, the difference in the third arrangement is the increase in the dilute phase section and dense phase section of the regenerator 27, so that the regenerator 27 and the reaction settling tank 5 are at the same height. The second or third arrangement can be adopted according to the pressure balance.

[0055] Example 4:

[0056] The fourth arrangement of the riser reactor 1, the reaction settling tank 5, and the regenerator 27 in this application is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. The fourth arrangement structure, like the first arrangement structure, uses an external riser reactor 1. The fourth arrangement structure combines the reaction settling tank 5 and the regenerator 27, which can also reduce the footprint of the equipment.

[0057] In this arrangement, the regenerator 27 is located below the reaction settling tank 5. The pre-regenerated inclined tube 14 is replaced by a vertical tube directly connected to the first stripping section 13 and the inlet pipe 29. After being stripped by the first stripping section 13, the pre-regenerated catalyst falls into the inlet pipe 29. The second lifting medium inlet 19 inputs the lifting medium to transport the pre-regenerated catalyst to the pre-regenerated catalyst distributor 26, and sprays it evenly from the pre-regenerated catalyst distributor 26 to ensure that the pre-regenerated catalyst is fully combusted. After the pre-regenerated catalyst is charred, the regenerated catalyst is obtained. After being stripped by the second stripping section 22, the regenerated catalyst flows into the riser reactor 1 from the regeneration inclined tube 17.

[0058] The reaction settling device 5 is equipped with a collection baffle 31, which forms a collection trough structure with the outer shell of the reaction settling device, so that the catalyst separated by the coarse cyclone separator 4 can enter the first feed pipe 8.

[0059] A method for producing low-carbon olefins from methanol includes the following steps:

[0060] S1, inputting methanol and catalyst into the riser reactor 1, and transporting the reaction gas generated by the reaction to the reaction settler 5 by the lifting medium;

[0061] S2, the reaction gas enters the rough cyclone separator 4 and the single-stage cyclone separator 30 in sequence, and the spent catalyst is separated, wherein a part of the spent catalyst enters the regenerator 27 after stripping, and the other part of the spent catalyst enters the first external heat exchanger 10 for cooling, the temperature of the spent catalyst is reduced by 50-150℃, and the spent catalyst enters the riser reactor 1 through the downcomer 12, and the part of the spent catalyst accounts for 30-80w% of the amount of catalyst in the riser reactor 1;

[0062] S3, the spent catalyst in the regenerator 27 is burned to obtain regenerated catalyst, and the regenerated catalyst flows into the riser reactor 1 from the regeneration inclined pipe 17 after stripping.

[0063] The temperature in the riser reactor 1 is 350-550℃, the pressure is 0.1-0.5MPa, and the reaction time is 0.5-5s; the preferred temperature in the riser reactor 1 is 450-500℃, the pressure is 0.1-0.25MPa, and the reaction time is 1-2s. The temperature in the regenerator 27 is 550-700℃, which can ensure that the waste heat recovery of the rear regeneration flue gas does not need a CO incinerator and the like, reduces the investment, and increases the stability of the device operation; after complete combustion, the performance of the catalyst can be well played, and the efficiency of the catalyst can be increased. The methanol-to-light olefin reaction is carried out under the condition that the catalyst-to-methanol ratio is 0.1-8, the reaction can be quickly completed, and the preferred catalyst-to-methanol ratio is 0.2-6.

[0064] The catalyst used in the application is a methanol-to-light olefin acidic catalyst based on small-pore SAPO molecular sieve, which is used in a riser fluidized bed, the reaction pressure is 0.01-1 MPa, the temperature is 350-550 DEG C, the mass space velocity is 0.3-8 h; the methanol-to-light olefin catalyst comprises the following components by mass fraction based on the total mass of the methanol-to-light olefin catalyst dry basis: 0.1-30% of alumina, 0.1-10% of a first additive, 0.1-60% of a second additive, and the balance is a fluidized bed carrier; the first additive is SAPO molecular sieve with good pore size distribution, so that the catalyst has higher target product selectivity; the second additive is an inert agent, which significantly enhances the strength and stability of the catalyst, the catalyst has a longer service life, and the catalyst circulation amount is increased, the catalyst circulation amount is increased from less than 100 t / h to about 1000 t / h, the operation of a large catalyst to oil ratio similar to a catalytic cracking device is realized; due to the increase of the catalyst circulation amount, the heat capacity of the catalyst in the riser reactor 1 is improved, the operation of a large catalyst to oil ratio similar to a catalytic cracking device can be truly realized, the riser reactor 1 reaction temperature control can be adjusted in time, the processing scale of a single device is greatly increased, and the excellent selectivity and stability of the catalyst are also increased.

[0065] The present riser fluidized bed reactor can rapidly increase the single device methanol processing scale from 2 million tons / year to 5 million tons / year, and this reaction form can greatly reduce investment, reduce energy consumption, and ensure the selectivity of methanol-to-olefin.

[0066] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, and for those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
