AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing technology, the removal depth of oxygenated compounds in Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil is not enough, the process is relatively long, and there are problems of high equipment cost and high energy consumption.

Method used

Gaseous boron halide is used to react with oxygen-containing compounds in Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil to form a heterogeneous system, and the deoxygenated Fischer-Tropsch oil phase and the oxygen-containing complex phase are separated by steam stripping and thermal cracking. The boron halide can be recovered and reused.

Benefits of technology

The process achieves efficient and deep removal of oxygen-containing compounds, with the oxygen content in the product being less than 100 ppm and the deoxidation rate being ≥98%, thereby reducing separation costs and simplifying the process. The generated boron halide can be recycled and reused.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for separating oxygenates from Fischer-Tropsch oil. A gaseous boron halide is introduced into the Fischer-Tropsch oil to cause the boron halide to undergo a complexation reaction with the oxygenates in the Fischer-Tropsch oil, thereby forming a heterogeneous system of the oxygenate complex and the Fischer-Tropsch oil. The heterogeneous system is then separated to obtain a deoxygenated Fischer-Tropsch oil phase and an oxygenate complex phase. The boron halide pressure in the system is 0.05 to 1 MPa. By controlling the amount of boron halide added, the boron halide can be complexed with the oxygenates in the Fischer-Tropsch oil to separate the oxygenates from the oil, while preventing the boron halide from causing polymerization of olefins in the oil.
