Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for naphtha pretreatment based on aromatics extraction, belonging to the technical field of petrochemical industry. Background Art

[0002] Naphtha, also known as light gasoline and crude gasoline, is a colorless and transparent liquid containing normal paraffins, isoparaffins, naphthenes, aromatics, etc. Naphtha has light fractions, high contents of paraffins and naphthenes, good stability, low heavy metal content, low sulfur content, and low toxicity. Naphtha is the light fraction distilled from crude oil through primary distillation and atmospheric distillation under certain conditions, or the gasoline fraction obtained by hydrofining of secondary processed gasoline. The distillation range is generally from the initial boiling point to 220°C, and can also be adjusted according to the usage occasion. For example, when used as a catalytic reforming feedstock to produce aromatics, the fraction of 60°C - 145°C can be taken (referred to as light naphtha); when used as a catalytic reforming feedstock to produce high-octane gasoline components, the fraction of 60°C - 180°C can be taken (referred to as heavy naphtha); when used as a feedstock for steam cracking to produce ethylene or a feedstock for ammonia synthesis gas production, the fraction from the initial boiling point to 220°C can be taken; when used as a solvent, it is called solvent naphtha, and the aromatic solvent from coal tar is also called heavy naphtha or solvent naphtha.

[0003] When naphtha is used as a feedstock for ethylene cracking, normal paraffins and isoparaffins are good feedstocks for ethylene cracking, while naphthenes and aromatics are non-ideal components. Especially for aromatic components, during the cracking process in the ethylene cracking furnace, part of them "idle" without undergoing the reaction to produce ethylene, and part will form coke adhering to the inner wall of the cracking tubular furnace, thus shortening the service life of the cracking tubular furnace. Therefore, for naphtha used in ethylene cracking, it is required to minimize the aromatic content therein.

[0004] Aromatics are important basic raw materials in the petrochemical industry. Catalytic reforming is one of the main methods for aromatics production, which can convert naphtha with low octane number into high-octane fuel or aromatic products such as benzene, toluene, and xylene. Catalytic reforming is mainly divided into two methods according to the catalyst regeneration method: semi-regeneration (fixed bed) and continuous regeneration (moving bed). In recent years, with the development of catalytic reforming from mainly producing gasoline to mainly producing aromatics and the large-scale of reforming units, the reforming technology using low-pressure continuous regeneration process has occupied the dominant position. However, whether it is the early semi-regeneration reforming process or the continuous reforming process after catalyst and process improvement, both require the feedstock to have a certain aromatic potential content, and the requirements for the feedstock composition actually limit the feedstock resources for aromatics production by catalytic reforming. The cost of the feedstock for steam cracking to produce ethylene accounts for 60 - 80% of the total production cost. More than 50% of the ethylene cracking feedstock is naphtha, and the aromatic component in naphtha accounts for 10%, and its diolefin yield is 0.

[0005] Therefore, removing aromatics from naphtha can not only save cracking raw materials but also avoid the coking problem caused by aromatics in the ethylene cracking process, which has very good promotion value.

[0006] At present, solvent extraction method is usually used to extract aromatics from naphtha. According to different solvents used, it can be divided into Dix method, sulfolane method, N-methylpyrrolidone method, dimethyl sulfoxide method and N-formylmorpholine method. However, the solubility and selectivity of a single solvent often restrict each other, resulting in a high content of non-aromatics in the solvent-rich liquid and a high content of solvent in the de-aromatized naphtha.

[0007] Patent CN105219422B discloses a composite extractant suitable for coal-based naphtha and a method for preparing solvent oil. The coal-based naphtha raw material and the composite extractant are respectively added into the extraction column. The raw material enters from the middle of the extraction column, and the extractant enters from the top of the extraction column. Countercurrent extraction is carried out in the extraction column. The extraction temperature is 60-90 °C, the pressure is 0.7-0.8 MPa, and the volume ratio of the extractant to the raw material coal-based naphtha is 2:1-3:1. De-aromatized naphtha and rich solvent are obtained at the top and bottom of the column respectively; the de-aromatized naphtha obtained at the top of the column is sent to the fractionating column for fractionation to obtain solvent oil. The composite extractant used in this patented technology is a mixture of sulfolane, propylene carbonate, triethylene glycol ether and water, etc., which is more suitable for coal-based naphtha. The highest aromatics removal rate is 87.61%. Obviously, the aromatics separation effect is still not ideal enough.

[0008] In addition, naphtha often contains sulfides such as hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, mercaptan, and thiophene. Among them, hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, and mercaptan are active sulfur, which are corrosive. Moreover, mercaptan is extremely easy to react with unsaturated hydrocarbons in naphtha to form colloidal substances, reducing the stability of naphtha; if the content of hydrogen sulfide is too high, it will cause a large amount of sulfur dioxide to be emitted during the use of the oil product, causing environmental pollution. Therefore, it is very necessary to desulfurize naphtha. In the prior art, processes such as hydrodesulfurization, alkali washing and water washing desulfurization, alkali extraction, acid washing desulfurization, adsorption desulfurization, and alkanolamine desulfurization are usually used to achieve desulfurization, and the desulfurization effects vary greatly. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Advantages of the present invention:

[0032] The present invention provides a naphtha pretreatment method based on aromatics extraction. First, straight-run naphtha is preliminarily treated with an ion exchange resin to obtain preliminarily treated naphtha. Then, a desulfurization agent is placed in a desulfurization reactor, and the preliminarily treated naphtha is fed into the desulfurization reactor for desulfurization treatment to obtain desulfurized naphtha. The desulfurized naphtha enters an aromatics extraction column and undergoes aromatics extraction under the action of an extractant to obtain a rich solvent containing dissolved mixed aromatics and pretreated naphtha. The present invention has good aromatics separation effect and desulfurization effect, providing a good basis for the subsequent utilization of naphtha.

[0033] It is very necessary to perform preliminary treatment and desulfurization treatment on straight-run naphtha before aromatics extraction. The presence of basic nitrogen and sulfides will affect the subsequent treatment of naphtha. The presence of basic nitrogen will also compete with sulfides for catalytic sites and affect the desulfurization effect. The present invention uses an ion exchange resin for preliminary treatment to remove components such as basic nitrogen in straight-run naphtha. The desulfurization agent of the present invention is first prepared by using copper nitrate hexahydrate, zirconium nitrate hexahydrate, yttrium nitrate hexahydrate, and praseodymium nitrate hexahydrate as raw materials to form a mixed solution, followed by precipitation, calcination, and pulverization to obtain a mixed powder. Then, the mixed powder is mixed with a carrier, ball-milled, heat-treated, and tableted to obtain the desulfurization agent. Under the loading effect of the carrier, the desulfurization agent realizes the removal of sulfides through the composite metal oxides of copper, zirconium, yttrium, and praseodymium, and has a good desulfurization effect.

[0034] The key to determining the aromatics extraction effect lies in the selection of the extractant. The extractant of the present invention is obtained by mixing 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester, N,N-dimethylformamide, 1-benzyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, and ethyltriphenylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide. Through the cooperation of the four components, the extractant regulates the dissolution of aromatics to achieve the full extraction of aromatics in naphtha. The obtained pretreated naphtha can be used as high-quality ethylene cracking raw material. Specific embodiments

Next, the mixed solution is heated to 65°C, and under the condition of heat preservation and stirring at 500 r / min, a 1 mol / L sodium carbonate solution is gradually added dropwise. After the addition is completed, stirring is continued for 55 minutes to form a precipitate. It is naturally cooled to room temperature and left to stand for aging for 19 hours, washed alternately with distilled water and absolute ethanol 3 times, dried, calcined at 410°C for 4 hours, and ground to 40 mesh to obtain a mixed powder. Finally, the mixed powder and the carrier are mixed and ball-milled, heat-treated, and tableted to obtain the product. Among them, the volume ratio of the mixed solution to the sodium carbonate solution is 1:1.35; the mass ratio of the mixed powder to the carrier is 1:3.5. The process conditions for ball milling are: ball milling at 600 r / min for 50 minutes.

[0072] Comparative Example 1

[0073] When preparing the desulfurizer, praseodymium nitrate hexahydrate is omitted.

[0074] The rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0075] Comparative Example 2

[0076] When preparing the extractant, 1-benzyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide salt is omitted.

[0077] The rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0078] Test Example

[0079] The pretreated naphtha obtained from Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was subjected to compositional analysis. Among them, the sulfur content was detected using an ANTEK-9000 sulfur-nitrogen analyzer, and the content of mixed aromatics in the pretreated naphtha was detected by liquid chromatography. The liquid chromatography conditions (Determination of the content of alkanes and aromatics in naphtha by high performance liquid chromatography, He Zhiqin, Journal of Liaoyang Petrochemical College, 2000, 16(1): 30-33) are as follows:

[0080] Chromatographic column: silica gel column and amino column connected in series front and back

[0081] Column temperature: room temperature

[0082] Mobile phase: n-hexane

[0083] Flow rate: 1.3 mL / min

[0084] Injection volume: 1 μL

[0085] Aromatic standard sample: ethylbenzene.

[0086] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0087] Table 1. Sulfur content and aromatic content in pretreated naphtha

[0088] Sulfur content (ppm) Aromatic hydrocarbon mass content (%) Example 1 <5 0.31 Example 2 <5 0.32 Example 3 <5 0.29 Example 4 <3 0.25 Comparative Example 1 850 0.33 Comparative Example 2 <5 1.59

[0089] As can be seen from Table 1, the pretreated naphtha obtained from Examples 1 to 4 has a low sulfur content and a low aromatic content, and can be used as a high-quality ethylene cracking raw material.

[0090] In Comparative Example 1, praseodymium nitrate hexahydrate was omitted during the preparation of the desulfurizer, and the sulfur content of the obtained pretreated naphtha was significantly higher. In Comparative Example 2, 1-benzyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide was omitted during the preparation of the extractant, and the aromatic content was significantly higher. This shows that the desulfurizer of the present invention realizes the removal of sulfides through the synergistic effect of the composite metal oxides of copper, zirconium, yttrium, and praseodymium, and the extractant realizes the full extraction of aromatics in naphtha by the cooperation of four components: 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester, N,N-dimethylformamide, 1-benzyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, and ethyltriphenylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, which jointly regulate the dissolution of aromatics.

[0091] Although the specific implementation manners of the present invention have been described above, they are not limitations on the protection scope of the present invention. Based on the technical solutions of the present invention, various modifications or deformations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative efforts are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
