[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0030] (1) This invention provides a system for preparing carbon materials and hydrogen from sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil products. By combining high-temperature pyrolysis technology with medium-temperature catalytic cracking technology, it simultaneously produces two products: hydrogen and carbon nanotubes, increasing the added value of the products by 3-10 times compared to those obtained by high-temperature pyrolysis technology alone. Furthermore, the combination of high-temperature pyrolysis technology and medium-temperature catalytic cracking technology to prepare carbon materials and hydrogen can convert organic sulfur and organic nitrogen in sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil products into hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, thereby simplifying the desulfurization and denitrification process. Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia can be completely removed simply by water washing or acid-base neutralization. Moreover, the amount of desulfurizing and denitrifying agents used is small, reducing costs by 30-50%.

[0031] (2) The system provided by the present invention for preparing sulfur-nitrogen-containing oil into carbon materials and hydrogen, through the reasonable setting of the structure of the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2, the cracking products entering it will not come into direct contact with the metal catalyst, thus avoiding the poisoning effect of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia on the metal catalyst, increasing the catalyst life by 3-5 times, thereby increasing the purity of carbon nanotube products by 20-40%.

[0032] (3) The system provided by the present invention for preparing sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil products into carbon materials and hydrogen is connected to a catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 via a thermal cracking downward fluidized bed 1, thereby achieving the coupling of two endothermic reactions (thermal cracking reaction of sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil products and catalytic cracking reaction of light hydrocarbons). It effectively utilizes the high-temperature thermal energy of thermal cracking technology, and uses the high temperature carried by the thermal cracking products (hard carbon) to heat the catalyst and light hydrocarbons that participate in the subsequent catalytic cracking reaction. This allows the catalytic cracking reaction of light hydrocarbons to be completed without providing additional energy to the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2, thereby reducing the energy supply cost by 20-40%.

[0033] (4) The method for preparing sulfur-nitrogen-containing oil products into carbon materials and hydrogen provided by the present invention has a wide range of raw material adaptability, including catalytic diesel, coal tar, residual oil, crude oil slurry, biomass tar, petroleum tar and their mixtures, and smoothly converts these low-value raw materials under low energy consumption conditions to obtain high-value materials (carbon nanotubes, hydrogen and hard carbon).

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention or its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, any product that is the same as or similar to the present invention, derived by any person under the guidance of the present invention or by combining the features of the present invention with other prior art, falls within the protection scope of the present invention. Furthermore, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] Specific experimental steps or conditions are not specified in the embodiments; they can be performed according to the conventional experimental steps or conditions described in the prior art. Reagents and other instruments used, unless otherwise specified, are all commercially available conventional reagent products. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative diagrams of the embodiments of the present invention and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore, repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities.

[0040] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0041] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.

[0042] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0043] The primary objective of this invention is to provide a system for preparing carbon materials and hydrogen from sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil products, as detailed below. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the structure of a system for preparing sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oils into carbon materials and hydrogen, as provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a thermal cracking downward fluidized bed 1, a catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2, and a purification and separation unit 3; wherein, the thermal cracking downward fluidized bed 1 is provided with a sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil inlet 8 and a cracking product outlet 9. The thermal cracking downward fluidized bed 1 is used to crack the sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil that enters it through the sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil inlet 8 to obtain hard carbon, light hydrocarbons, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia; the cracking products exit the thermal cracking downward fluidized bed 1 through the cracking product outlet 9 and then enter the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2.

[0044] The catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 is provided with the following components arranged sequentially along the gas flow direction: a light hydrocarbon gas inlet 12, a catalyst inlet 7, a cracking product inlet 10 connected to the cracking product outlet 9, a porous distribution plate 11, a cyclone separator 6, a mixed gas outlet 16, and a carbon material outlet 13. The light hydrocarbon gas inlet 12 is located at the bottom of the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2, the mixed gas outlet 16 is located at the top of the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 and is connected to the cyclone separator 6, the catalyst inlet 7 is located close to the light hydrocarbon gas inlet 12, and the cracking product inlet 10 is located above the catalyst inlet 7 to avoid contact between hydrogen sulfide and ammonia in the cracking products and the catalyst.

[0045] The catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 is used to perform gas-solid separation of the cracking products entering it through the cracking product inlet 10. A porous distribution plate 11 is set perpendicular to the gas flow direction and located at the waist of the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2. It is used to trap solid matter (hard carbon) in the cracking products, causing the solid matter to accumulate at the bottom of the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2. Since the porous distribution plate 11 cannot trap 100% of the solid matter, a trace amount (2-4%) of fine-particle-size solid matter remains mixed in the gaseous cracking products. A cyclone separator 6 is used to further separate the solid and gas of the cracking products passing through the transverse porous distribution plate 11, and to transport the separated solid matter to the bottom of the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2. The gaseous cracking products exit the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 through the cracking product outlet 9.

[0046] The purification and separation device 3 is equipped with a mixed gas inlet 17 connected to the mixed gas outlet 16, a light hydrocarbon gas outlet 20 connected to the light hydrocarbon gas inlet 12, and a purified target product hydrogen gas outlet 25. The purification and separation device 3 removes hydrogen sulfide and ammonia from the gaseous substances (light hydrocarbons, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia) entering through the mixed gas inlet 17, and then separates the light hydrocarbons and hydrogen to obtain the target product hydrogen.

[0047] Furthermore, the light hydrocarbons separated by the purification and separation device 3 are output through the light hydrocarbon gas outlet 20 and then enter the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2. The catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 is also used for catalytic cracking of the light hydrocarbons that enter through the light hydrocarbon gas inlet 12 to obtain the target product, carbon nanotubes. The metal catalyst used in the catalytic cracking reaction is added through the catalyst inlet 7. Since the catalyst inlet 7 exists independently of the cracking product inlet 10 and is located below the cracking product inlet 10, the hydrogen sulfide and ammonia in the cracking products will not come into contact with the metal catalyst, thus avoiding the poisoning effect of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia on the metal catalyst. At the same time, since there are thermal cracking products (hard carbon) at the bottom of the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2, the high temperature carried by the thermal cracking products (hard carbon) is used to heat the catalyst and light hydrocarbons participating in the catalytic cracking reaction. This allows the process of catalyzing light hydrocarbons with the metal catalyst to be completed without additional heating, and the catalytic cracking reaction of light hydrocarbons to obtain the target product, carbon nanotubes, is completed without providing additional energy to the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2. This effectively utilizes the high-temperature thermal energy of thermal cracking technology, reducing energy supply costs by 20-40%. It achieves the coupling of two endothermic reactions (the thermal cracking reaction of sulfur and nitrogen-containing oil products and the catalytic cracking reaction of light hydrocarbons).

[0048] In some embodiments, the purification and separation device 3 includes: a heat exchange device 3-1, a desulfurization and denitrification device 3-2, and a separation device 3-3; Figure 2 This invention provides a schematic diagram of another system structure for preparing sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil products into carbon materials and hydrogen, as shown in an embodiment of the invention. Figure 2 As shown, the heat exchanger 3-1 operates at a temperature of 300-500℃ and is equipped with a heat exchange gas outlet 18 and a light hydrocarbon gas inlet 19. The heat exchanger 3-1 is connected to the mixed gas outlet 16 through the mixed gas inlet 17 and to the light hydrocarbon gas inlet 12 through the light hydrocarbon gas outlet 20. The heat exchanger 3-1 is used to cool the mixed gas that enters through the mixed gas inlet 17.

[0049] The desulfurization and denitrification device 3-2 is provided with a heat exchange gas inlet 21 and a desulfurization and denitrification gas outlet 22 connected to the heat exchange gas outlet 18; the desulfurization and denitrification device 3-2 is used to remove hydrogen sulfide and ammonia from the mixed gas that enters it through the heat exchange gas inlet 21.

[0050] The separation device 3-3 is provided with a desulfurization and denitrification gas inlet 23 connected to the desulfurization and denitrification gas outlet 22, a hydrogen outlet 25, and a light hydrocarbon gas outlet 24 connected to the light hydrocarbon gas inlet 19. The separation device 3-3 is used to separate the light hydrocarbons and hydrogen that enter through the desulfurization and denitrification gas inlet 23.

[0051] Furthermore, before the light hydrocarbons separated by the separation device 3-3 are returned to the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 for catalytic cracking reaction, they are introduced into the heat exchange device 3-1 through the light hydrocarbon gas inlet 19. The light hydrocarbons are heated by the operating temperature (300-500℃) of the heat exchange device 3-1, so that the light hydrocarbons are heated before entering the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2. The heated light hydrocarbons can further reduce / avoid the additional energy required for the catalytic cracking reaction, and further improve the energy utilization rate of the system.

[0052] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing carbon materials and hydrogen from sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil products, the method being applicable to the system described in the first aspect above. Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a method for preparing carbon materials and hydrogen from sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil products according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, as follows. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0053] S1. Sulfur-nitrogen-containing oil is fed into the thermal cracking downflow fluidized bed 1 through the sulfur-nitrogen-containing oil inlet 8 to carry out thermal cracking reaction, and obtain cracking products containing hard carbon, light hydrocarbons, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia.

[0054] In this step, the sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil is at least one of the following: catalytic diesel oil (with or without asphalt), coal tar, residual oil, crude oil slurry, biomass tar, and petroleum tar. The sulfur content of the sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil is 10-12000 mg / kg, and the nitrogen content is 20-5000 mg / kg. The thermal cracking reaction is carried out at a temperature of 800-1100℃ and a pressure of 0.1-1 MPa. The residence time of the oil in the downward-flowing fluidized bed 1 for thermal cracking is 1-20 s. The obtained light hydrocarbons are specifically C1-C2. 10 Hydrocarbons.

[0055] S2. The pyrolysis products are fed into the catalytic pyrolysis upward fluidized bed 2 through the pyrolysis product inlet 10 for gas-solid separation, so as to retain the hard carbon in the pyrolysis products and output the gaseous substances in the pyrolysis products.

[0056] In this step, due to the obstruction of the transverse porous distribution plate in the upward-flowing fluidized bed 2 of the catalytic cracking, 96% to 98% of the solids are retained in the dense phase zone 14. Trace amounts of solids, along with the gaseous substances, enter the dilute phase zone 15. Continuing upwards, the solids enter the cyclone separator 6. After gas-solid separation, the solids return to the bottom of the upward-flowing fluidized bed 2 of the catalytic cracking, while the gaseous substances are output through the mixed gas outlet 16.

[0057] S3. The gaseous substances obtained in step S2 enter the purification and separation device 3 through the mixed gas inlet 17 to remove hydrogen sulfide and ammonia from the gaseous substances and separate light hydrocarbons and hydrogen, with hydrogen as the target product.

[0058] Furthermore, the purification and separation device 3 includes a heat exchange device 3-1, a desulfurization and denitrification device 3-2, and a separation device 3-3. Step S3 specifically involves:

[0059] S31. The gaseous substance obtained in step S2 is introduced into the heat exchange device 3-1 through the mixed gas inlet 17 for cooling treatment; the temperature of the gaseous substance obtained after cooling treatment is 300-500℃.

[0060] S32. The cooled gaseous substance is introduced into the desulfurization and denitrification device 3-2 through the heat exchange gas inlet 21 to remove hydrogen sulfide and ammonia from the gaseous substance, and a mixed gas composed of light hydrocarbons and hydrogen is obtained. The desulfurization and denitrification device 3-2 removes hydrogen sulfide and ammonia from the gaseous substance by water washing or acid-base neutralization.

[0061] S33. The mixed gas obtained in step S32 is introduced into the separation device 3-3 through the desulfurization and denitrification gas inlet 23 to separate light hydrocarbons and hydrogen, with hydrogen as the target product; the separation device 3-3 separates light hydrocarbons and hydrogen by pressure swing adsorption.

[0062] S4. The light hydrocarbons obtained in step S3 are introduced into the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 through the light hydrocarbon gas inlet 12, and then a catalyst is added through the catalyst inlet 7. The light hydrocarbons undergo catalytic cracking reaction to generate the target product carbon nanotubes.

[0063] In this step, the light hydrocarbons entering the upward fluidized bed 2 for catalytic cracking are purified light hydrocarbons, free of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. The metal catalyst used in the catalytic cracking reaction is added through catalyst inlet 7, contacting the hard carbon at the bottom of the upward fluidized bed 2. The high temperature carried by the thermal cracking products (hard carbon) heats the catalyst and light hydrocarbons participating in the intermediate-temperature catalytic cracking reaction, bringing them to a reaction temperature of 700-850℃. This allows the metal catalyst to catalyze the light hydrocarbons without additional heating, completing the catalytic cracking reaction of light hydrocarbons to obtain carbon nanotubes without providing additional energy to the upward fluidized bed 2. This effectively utilizes the high-temperature thermal energy of thermal cracking technology, reducing energy costs. The catalyst used is a metal catalyst containing iron, cobalt, or nickel; or a binary metal catalyst composed of a metal catalyst and molybdenum, copper, manganese, or tungsten.

[0064] In this step, the light hydrocarbons will also generate hydrogen and a small amount of methane through the medium-temperature catalytic cracking reaction. This part of the gas will be combined with the gas (H2, H2S, NH3 and light hydrocarbons) that enters the fluidized bed 1 through the cracking product inlet 10 and then enters the upward fluidized bed 2 of the catalytic cracking, which will play a role in diluting H2S and ammonia.

[0065] Furthermore, by continuously feeding sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil into the thermal cracking downward fluidized bed 1 from the sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil inlet 8, and by feeding catalyst into the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 from the catalyst inlet 7 every 8 hours, the above process can be made into continuous operation.

[0066] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the present invention, the method of the present invention will now be described in detail through the following embodiments.

[0067] Example 1

[0068] Thermochemical downward fluidized bed 1, catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2, heat exchange device 3-1, desulfurization and denitrification device 3-2, and separation device 3-3 are as follows: Figure 2 The structural diagrams shown are connected sequentially.

[0069] Sulfur- and nitrogen-containing oil (catalytic diesel, sulfur content 12000 mg / kg, nitrogen content 1000 mg / kg, boiling point 200-400℃) is fed into the thermal cracking downward fluidized bed 1 through inlet 8. At 1100℃ and 0.1 MPa, the residence time is controlled to be 1 s, and the oil is cracked into hard carbon, C1-C10 hydrocarbons, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia.

[0070] The aforementioned gaseous and solid products exit the fluidized bed 1 from the pyrolysis product outlet 9 and enter the catalytic pyrolysis upward fluidized bed 2 via the pyrolysis product inlet 10. Due to the obstruction of the transverse porous distribution plate, 96% of the solids are retained in the solid dense phase region 14. A small amount of solids enters the solid dilute phase region 15 along with the gas. Continuing upward, they enter the cyclone separator 6. After gas-solid separation, the solids return to the bottom of the catalytic pyrolysis upward fluidized bed 2.

[0071] After exiting the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 through mixed gas outlet 16, the gas enters the heat exchanger 3-1 through mixed gas inlet 17. After being heated to 500℃, the gas exits the heat exchanger 3-1 through heat exchange gas outlet 18, and then enters the desulfurization and denitrification unit 3-2 through heat exchange gas inlet 21. Using conventional techniques (such as water washing, acid-base neutralization, etc.), all sulfur and nitrogen are removed. The gas then exits through the desulfurization and denitrification gas outlet 22, and then enters the separation unit 3-3 through the desulfurization and denitrification gas inlet 23 for the separation of hydrogen and hydrocarbons. The purified hydrogen, separated using conventional techniques (such as pressure swing adsorption, etc.), exits through hydrogen outlet 25, and the target product hydrogen is collected.

[0072] The separated light hydrocarbon gas exits the separation device 3-3 from the light hydrocarbon gas outlet 24, and then enters the heat exchange device 3-1 through the light hydrocarbon gas inlet 19 to be heated to 500°C. After exiting the heat exchange device 3-1 from the light hydrocarbon gas outlet 20, it is recycled back to the light hydrocarbon gas inlet 12 and enters the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 as a fluidizing gas and reaction medium.

[0073] A metallic catalyst (containing iron) is added to the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 through catalyst inlet 7. The catalyst mixes with hard carbon at the bottom and hydrocarbon gas entering through light hydrocarbon gas inlet 12, reaching a temperature of 700°C. The hydrocarbon gas contacts the catalyst for 0.1 min, cracking to produce carbon nanotubes and hydrogen or a small amount of methane. The generated hydrogen and a small amount of methane combine with the gases (H2, H2S, NH3, and hydrocarbons) entering through cracking product inlet 10, diluting the H2S and ammonia. The reaction time is controlled at 8 hours. The resulting mixture of carbon nanotubes and hard carbon exits the catalytic cracking upward fluidized bed 2 through outlet 13, forming a carbon material product.
