AI Technical Summary
Existing liquefied gas processing technologies are insufficient for the efficient production of n-butane. Traditional separation methods are limited and halogen-containing catalysts are prone to loss, leading to equipment corrosion and environmental pollution.
The separation-hydrogenation-normative process is adopted, in which isomeric and normal olefins are processed through the first and second hydrogenation units respectively, and normalization is carried out using a supported noble metal catalyst. Hydrogen resources are recycled, and components are separated by a distillation column to produce high-purity n-butane.
This has enabled the efficient utilization of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), increased n-butane production, reduced hydrogen consumption, ensured the stability of downstream raw material supply, and reduced equipment corrosion and environmental pollution.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of light hydrocarbon utilization, and particularly relates to a liquefied gas utilization method and system. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, degradable materials have ushered in new development opportunities, and BDO as the main raw material has attracted close attention. In the n-butane-maleic anhydride-BDO industrial chain, the stable supply of n-butane raw material is the key problem to be solved first.
[0003] At present, n-butane is mainly derived from liquefied gas. For the liquefied gas treatment process, the traditional gas fractionation process is only a physical process, and due to the limitation of separation principle, if the n-butane yield is to be increased, the treatment capacity of liquefied gas must be increased, which will be limited by many factors such as source, transportation, cost, etc.
[0004] CN104892339 discloses a method for preparing n-butane from isobutane, comprising the following steps: A. providing a feed gas stream a containing at least 80% of isobutane by mass percentage; B. feeding the feed gas stream a into at least one normalization region, and allowing the isobutane to undergo normalization reaction under the action of a catalyst, thereby obtaining a product gas stream b; C. feeding the product gas stream b into at least one hydrogenation saturation region to perform hydrogenation catalytic reaction, thereby obtaining a gas stream c; D. condensing and separating the gas stream c at 0-40℃ to obtain a gas phase stream d1 and a liquid phase stream d2; E. feeding the liquid phase stream d2 into a first distillation region to further separate the low-boiling secondary components in the liquid phase stream d2 to form a product stream e2 containing isobutane and n-butane; F. feeding the stream e2 into a second distillation region to separate the isobutane and n-butane to form an n-butane stream.
[0005] CN108530254 discloses a method for preparing n-butane from mixed carbon four, which comprises the following steps: putting the by-products carbon four generated in the production processes of petroleum refining, steam cracking for ethylene, methanol for olefin, etc. into a fixed bed reactor, adding a hydrogenation catalyst into the reactor, circulating hydrogen gas for hydrogenation reaction, mixing with a desulfurizing agent uniformly, and feeding into a distillation column, feeding the desulfurized product into a rectifying column, collecting propane at the top of the rectifying column, collecting n-butane at the bottom, and collecting isobutane in the middle, and allowing the collected isobutane to undergo normalization reaction under the action of a catalyst to generate n-butane.
[0006] Moreover, it is found through analysis that CN104892339 and CN108530254 both use halogen-containing catalysts, and the halogen in such catalysts is easy to be lost during the reaction process. In order to maintain the activity of the catalyst, halides need to be constantly added, which not only causes corrosion to the equipment, but also pollutes the environment. SUMMARY
