Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of coal chemical technology, specifically to a medium- and low-temperature coal tar processing and conversion process. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the aerospace industry, my country's demand for jet fuel is increasing daily. In 2021, my country's aviation kerosene consumption reached 28.175 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.7%. Currently, the main source of jet fuel is refined from crude oil through direct refining and secondary processing, resulting in relatively low production volumes. In recent years, my country's oil imports have been increasing year by year. In 2021, my country's crude oil imports rose to 513 million tons, with an external dependence rate of 72.1%. Moreover, 80% of crude oil imports need to pass through military-sensitive areas such as the Strait of Malacca, seriously affecting my country's energy security.
[0003] The "863" Program project "Preparation Technology of Coal-based High-Density Military Aviation Fuel," undertaken by Shenhua Group, has made breakthrough progress in the research of coal-based jet fuel. The coal-based jet fuel prepared by this project has advantages such as low sulfur and nitrogen content, high specific gravity, high heat capacity, high thermal stability, and high volumetric calorific value, with many indicators superior to petroleum-based aviation fuels. On September 10, 2021, the National Key Research and Development Project "Technology for Special Fuels and Chemicals from Coal Liquefaction and Recombination," undertaken by the Coal Chemical Branch of the China Coal Research Institute, successfully passed the comprehensive performance evaluation meeting of the Ministry of Science and Technology in Beijing. Comparative evaluation with US military standards (JP-8, JP-900), Russian military standards (T-8), and domestic petroleum-based jet fuel (RP-3) showed that the product independently developed by the China Coal Research Institute has the characteristics of high density, high volumetric calorific value, high volumetric specific heat capacity, high thermal stability (heat resistant to 485℃ without decomposition), low sulfur (<1ppm), low nitrogen (<1ppm), low pour point (-70℃), low aromatics (<2%), and corrosion resistance. However, the raw material for both of the above processes is direct coal liquefaction oil.
[0004] Coal tar, a product of coal pyrolysis / dry distillation, is produced in huge quantities annually. Currently, my country mainly uses coal tar as a raw material to produce gasoline and diesel fuel via hydrogenation. However, there are no reported technological routes for producing aviation kerosene from coal tar, and the technology lags behind advanced foreign coal tar hydroconversion technologies for jet fuel production. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0027] It should be particularly noted that similar substitutions and modifications made to this application are obvious to those skilled in the art, and they are all considered to be included in this application. Those skilled in the art can obviously make modifications or appropriate alterations and combinations to the methods and applications described herein without departing from the content, spirit, and scope of this application to implement and apply the technology of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.
[0028] Unless otherwise specified, this application shall be made in accordance with conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The raw materials or excipients used, as well as the reagents or instruments used, whose manufacturers are not specified, are all conventional products that can be obtained commercially.
[0029] The following is a detailed description of this application.
[0030] In 2022, my country's coal tar production was approximately 24.62 million tons, with deep processing accounting for about 12.45 million tons. Coal tar contains a relatively large amount of aromatics, cycloalkanes, and phenolic compounds. After denitrification, desulfurization, deoxygenation, and dephenolization of coal tar, it is catalytically hydrogenated. By controlling the depth of hydrogenation, olefins and aromatic compounds can be saturated, resulting in the production of naphtha and diesel oil.
[0031] This application utilizes a series of technical means, including delayed coking, catalytic hydrogenation refining, isomerization, modification, and fractionation, to process coal tar into aviation kerosene and produce high-value byproducts such as needle coke. This significantly improves the utilization rate of coal tar resources. Compared with the traditional coal tar processing for gasoline, diesel, and naphtha production, this application represents a completely new processing route in the field of deep coal tar processing. It not only has positive development significance for alleviating my country's oil resource shortage but also for meeting the demand for special fuels.
[0032] Coal tar contains many mechanical impurities and heavy components. In this application, delayed coking technology is used to solve the problem of lightening coal tar and producing high-value needle coke. At the same time, it removes sulfur, nitrogen and heavy metals, realizing the early cracking and condensation of coal tar, effectively ensuring the cleanliness of subsequent hydrogenation products. Meanwhile, the high reaction temperature of the delayed coking unit can ensure the stability of the product oil aviation kerosene.
[0033] The technological process route of this application is as follows:
[0034] 1. Low-temperature coal tar feedstock enters the delayed coking unit to obtain needle coke and delayed coking product oil.
[0035] In industrial production, the mechanical impurity content of medium- and low-temperature coal tar is less than 0.55%, and the moisture content is less than 2.5%. Excessive mechanical impurity content can lead to pipeline blockage during industrial production; excessive moisture content can cause excessively large temperature fluctuations in the reactor, affecting product quality. The operating conditions for delayed coking are as follows: reaction temperature 300-500℃, reaction pressure 0.2MPa-1MPa.
[0036] 2. Delayed coking product oil enters the fractionation tower to separate the phenolic oil from the oil and send it to the fine powder section for further production of high-value products such as phenol and m-cresol through a dephenolization process.
[0037] The dephenolization process is a solvent extraction method. The specific process is as follows: Phenolic oil is separated from crude phenol and dephenolized oil in the extraction section. The extraction solvent is recycled within the unit, and the crude phenol is sent to the distillation section for further processing. In the refining section, the crude phenol undergoes dehydration, slag removal, and pyridine removal. Then, based on the different volatility of various phenols, it is continuously produced through phenol, o-cresol, and m-cresol distillations to extract crude phenol, o-cresol, and m-cresol fractions, respectively. Finally, through intermittent distillation, finished phenol, o-cresol, and m-cresol products are produced, respectively.
[0038] 3. The dephenolized oil from step 2 enters the hydrorefining section, where catalytic hydrogenation saturates some of the unsaturated hydrocarbons and removes heteroatoms such as S, N, and O from the oil, so that the content of S and N is less than 2 ppm.
[0039] The conditions for the hydrorefining reaction are: 150-400℃, 5-20MPa, hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio of 800:1-3000:1, and liquid hourly space velocity of 0.2-2h. -1 .
[0040] 4. The product oil from step 3 enters the fractionation tower to separate gasoline, diesel and kerosene fractions. Gasoline and diesel fractions can be used as products.
[0041] 5. The kerosene fraction enters the hydroisomerization section, which isomerizes the straight-chain alkanes in the oil, improving the oil's low-temperature fluidity.
[0042] The conditions for the hydroisomerization reaction are: 200-450℃, 2-15MPa, hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio of 800:1-3000:1, and liquid hourly space velocity of 0.2-2h. -1 .
[0043] 6. The product oil from step 5 enters the hydrotreating section for further hydrogenation saturation of unsaturated hydrocarbons such as aromatics and olefins in the oil.
[0044] The conditions for the hydrotreating reaction are: 80-300℃, 5-20MPa, hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio of 800:1-3000:1, and liquid hourly space velocity of 0.2-2h. -1 .
[0045] 7. The product oil from step 6 enters the fractionation tower, cuts the appropriate fraction segment, obtains aviation kerosene blank oil, adds appropriate additives, and then becomes the aviation kerosene product.
[0046] The fractionation process uses conventional atmospheric distillation equipment.
[0047] The hydrogen used in this application is derived from raw coal gas and pyrolysis gas produced by coal dry distillation and coal pyrolysis, and is purified by methods such as pressure swing adsorption.
