Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of clean coal chemical industry and clean natural gas chemical industry, and in particular to a system and method for directly preparing olefins from syngas. Background Technology
[0002] C2-C4 olefins are among the most important chemical raw materials, providing the foundation for the synthesis of various plastics, fibers, and medical devices. China's current ethylene and propylene production both exceed 50 million tons per year, forming a vast chemical and materials product network. Currently, C2-C4 olefins are mainly obtained through the cracking of petroleum feedstocks. Other developing routes include coal-to-methanol olefin production and ethane dehydrogenation to ethylene production. The bottleneck of the petroleum route lies in its resource dependence. Coal-to-methanol olefin production, on the other hand, is characterized by a long route, large equipment investment, and high carbon emissions.
[0003] In comparison, directly producing olefins from syngas without passing through methanol has the advantages of a shorter route and lower investment. Current research focuses on: how to limit the product to high-yield olefin varieties such as C2-C3 olefins; and how to simplify catalyst design to achieve higher single-pass conversion rates and better process continuity, thereby extending single-pass life and reducing the amount of recycled materials. However, since the direct production of olefins from syngas couples hydrogenation with functions such as carbon-carbon chain growth and suppression of hydrogen transfer side reactions, it is often impossible to simultaneously achieve optimal product distribution and catalyst life. Taking relatively inexpensive iron-based catalysts as an example, the resulting olefins can range from C2 to C7. Although the price of C4-C7 olefins is currently very competitive, there is still a need to flexibly adjust the product composition to cope with the complex and ever-changing market. In addition, due to differences in product composition and boiling points, the order of subsequent separations and separation energy consumption have not yet been optimized, and much work remains to be done.

[0032] When directly preparing olefins from syngas using existing technologies, problems arise due to the coupling of functions such as hydrogenation, carbon-carbon chain growth, and suppression of hydrogen transfer side reactions. This leads to a trade-off between achieving a reasonable product distribution and catalyst lifetime, as well as cumbersome separation processes. This invention provides a system and method for directly preparing olefins from syngas. A reaction apparatus is used to prepare hydrocarbons with a carbon number distribution of 1-7, which are then separated using a gas-liquid separator to obtain C1-C3 and C4-C7 hydrocarbons. The C1-C3 hydrocarbons are then separated using a gas-gas separator to obtain C2-C3 olefins.

[0034] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for directly preparing olefins from syngas. Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for directly preparing olefins from syngas according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0035] S1. Syngas is introduced into reaction device 1 through raw material gas inlet 6. Under the action of metal supported catalyst, the syngas reacts directly to obtain a mixture 1 containing C4-C7 hydrocarbons, C1-C3 hydrocarbons and CO2.
[0036] In this step, devices 1-5 are first connected to form a system. Then, syngas H2 and CO are introduced into reaction device 1. Under the catalysis of a metal-supported catalyst, H2 and CO react directly at a volume ratio of 1.25-2:1 to obtain a mixture 1 containing H2, CO, C4-C7 hydrocarbons, C1-C3 olefins, and CO2. In mixture 1, the CO conversion rate is 92-96%, and the olefin selectivity is 85-95%. The reactor in reaction device 1 is either a fixed bed or a fluidized bed. When the reactor in reaction device 1 is a fixed bed, the catalyst diameter is 0.3-6 mm, and the applicable syngas space velocity range is 1000-5000 ml / gcat / h. When the reactor in reaction device 1 is a fluidized bed, the catalyst diameter is 0.03-1 mm, and the applicable syngas space velocity range is 1000-16000 ml / gcat / h. The reaction apparatus 1 is filled with a metal-supported catalyst; the operating temperature of the metal catalyst is 250–350℃, and the operating pressure of the metal catalyst is 2–6 MPa; the metal catalyst consists of a metal component, a metal promoter, and a support; the metal component is one or more of iron, cobalt, zinc, and copper, with a mass fraction of 1–50%; the metal promoter is one or more of sodium, potassium, and calcium, with a mass fraction of 1–20%; the support is one of alumina, silicon dioxide, and carbon, with a mass fraction of 30–98% and a specific surface area of 50–2000 m². 2 / g.
[0037] S2. The mixture 1 is discharged from the product gas outlet 7 of the reaction device 1 and passed into the gas-liquid separation device 2 through the gas inlet a8 for cooling, so that the C4-C7 hydrocarbons and water vapor in it are liquefied and separated to obtain a mixed gas 1 containing C1-C3 hydrocarbons and CO2 and a mixed liquid 1 containing C4-C7 hydrocarbons and water, respectively.
[0038] In this specific step, the mixture 1 is introduced into the gas-liquid separation device 2 and cooled to 10-20℃. The C4-C7 hydrocarbons and water vapor in the mixture 1 are liquefied, and the gas and liquid are separated to obtain a mixed gas 1 containing C1-C3 hydrocarbons and CO2 and a mixed liquid 1 containing C4-C7 hydrocarbons and water, respectively.
[0039] S3. The mixed gas 1 is discharged from the gas outlet a9 of the gas-liquid separator 2 and passed into the gas-gas separator 5 through the gas inlet b18. The gas is separated to obtain C2-C3 olefins and mixed gas 2. The C2-C3 olefins are discharged from the C2-C3 hydrocarbon outlet b19. The remaining mixed gas 2 is discharged from the gas outlet b20 and recycled.
[0040] S4. The mixed liquid 1 is discharged from the liquid outlet 10 of the gas-liquid separator 2 and fed into the liquid-liquid separator 3 through the liquid inlet 13 for separation, obtaining C4-C7 hydrocarbons and water respectively; then the C4-C7 hydrocarbons are discharged from the organic liquid outlet 15 and fed into the separator 2 through the heat exchange medium inlet 11 for indirect heat exchange, and then discharged from the heat exchange medium outlet 12 and fed into the olefin recycling conversion device 4 through the organic matter inlet 16. Under the action of the molecular sieve catalyst, the C4-C7 hydrocarbons react to obtain C2-C3 olefins;
[0041] In this specific step, the mixed liquid 1 containing C4-C7 hydrocarbons and water is allowed to stand and separate into layers, yielding water and C4-C7 hydrocarbons. The C4-C7 hydrocarbons, acting as a heat exchange medium, enter the gas-liquid separation device 2 through the heat exchange medium inlet 11 for heat exchange. The heat-exchanged C4-C7 hydrocarbons are then fed into the fluidized bed or fixed bed reactor of the olefin recycling conversion device 4. Under conditions of 480-545℃, and with the action of a molecular sieve catalyst, the C4-C7 hydrocarbons are converted into C2-C3 olefins. The molecular sieve catalyst can be any one of the SAPO series and the MFI series, or a mixture of both.
[0042] S5. Combine the C2-C3 olefins discharged from the C2-C3 olefin outlet a17 of the olefin recycling converter 4 and the C2-C3 olefin outlet b19 of the gas-gas separator 5 for later use.
[0043] In this specific step, the C2-C3 olefins obtained from the olefin recycling unit 4 and the gas-gas separation unit 5 are combined at the pipeline junction.
[0044] This application provides a method for directly preparing olefins from syngas. A reaction apparatus is used to prepare hydrocarbons with a carbon number distribution of 1-7, followed by a separation device to separate C1-C3 and C4-C7 hydrocarbons. The C1-C3 hydrocarbons are then separated into C2-C3 olefins via a gas-to-gas separation device. The C4-C7 hydrocarbons are dehydrated via a liquid-to-liquid separation device, indirectly heated via a gas-to-liquid separation device, and then converted back into C2-C3 olefins via a hydrocarbon recycling conversion device. These C2-C3 olefins are then combined with the C2-C3 olefins obtained in the previous step and collected. Compared to the conventional route of preparing olefins from syngas via methanol, this application involves a two-step olefin preparation process, allowing for reasonable control of product distribution, significantly improving olefin selectivity to 85-95%, and increasing the syngas conversion rate to 96%. Furthermore, the entire preparation process is simple to operate, significantly reduces the number of devices, and substantially lowers production costs. In addition, the room-temperature C4-C7 hydrocarbons obtained through separation are indirectly heated with the high-temperature material from the reaction apparatus outlet in a separation device before being used for hydrocarbon recycling, resulting in a significant energy saving of 3%-5%.
[0045] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the present invention, the following embodiments will be used to provide a detailed description of a system and method for directly preparing olefins from syngas according to the present invention.

The product gases exit the reaction unit 1 from product gas outlet 7 and enter the gas-liquid separation unit 2 through gas inlet a8.
[0049] In the gas-liquid separation device 2, the temperature of the product gas is reduced to 10-20℃, causing H2O and C4-C7 hydrocarbons to liquefy into a mixed liquid 1, which is separated from the mixed gas 1 containing H2, CO, CO2 and C1-C3 hydrocarbons. The mixed liquid 1 (H2O, C4-C7 hydrocarbons) exits the gas-liquid separation device 2 from the liquid outlet 10; the mixed gas 1 (H2, CO, CO2 and C1-C3 hydrocarbons) exits the gas-liquid separation device 2 from the gas outlet a9.
[0050] The mixed liquid 1 (H2O, C4-C7 hydrocarbons) from the gas-liquid separator 2 enters the liquid-liquid separator 3 through the liquid inlet 13.

[0057] In the gas-liquid separation device 2, the temperature of the product gas is reduced to 20-30℃, causing H2O and C4-C7 hydrocarbons to liquefy into a mixed liquid 1, which is separated from the mixed gas 1 containing H2, CO, CO2 and C1-C3 hydrocarbons. The mixed liquid 1 (H2O, C4-C7 hydrocarbons) exits the gas-liquid separation device 2 from the liquid outlet 10; the mixed gas 1 (H2, CO, CO2 and C1-C3 hydrocarbons) exits the gas-liquid separation device 2 from the gas outlet a9.
[0058] The mixed liquid 1 (H2O, C4-C7 hydrocarbons) from the gas-liquid separator 2 enters the liquid-liquid separator 3 through the liquid inlet 13. The liquid phase is allowed to stand, allowing the H2O and C4-C7 hydrocarbons in the mixed liquid 1 to separate into layers. Water is discharged from the water outlet 14; the C4-C7 hydrocarbons exit the gas-liquid separator 3 through the organic liquid outlet 15.
[0059] The obtained C4-C7 hydrocarbons are used as a heat exchange medium and enter the gas-liquid separation unit 2 through the heat exchange medium inlet 11 for heat exchange. After heat exchange, the C4-C7 hydrocarbons exit the gas-liquid separation unit 2 through the heat exchange medium outlet 12 and are then fed into the olefin recycling conversion unit 4 (using a fluidized bed reactor) through the organic matter inlet 16. Under the action of a molecular sieve catalyst (SAPO type molecular sieve), they are converted into C2-C3 olefins at 450-550℃.
