Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of coal chemical industry, specifically relating to a process for producing high-quality light white oil and diesel oil. Background Technology
[0002] With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the quality requirements for light white oil and diesel products are becoming higher, primarily in terms of sulfur content, cetane number, density, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content. Hydrotreating technology for inferior diesel can significantly reduce the sulfur and aromatic hydrocarbon content of diesel products while increasing the cetane number.
[0003] Current technologies have been used to study the quality of diesel and white oil: CN1814703A discloses a method for producing diesel or diesel components from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products. This method uses Fischer-Tropsch synthesis oil as raw material, which is first hydrorefined and then isomerized and dewaxed to obtain diesel and heavy oil. The heavy oil is then recycled to an isomerization reactor, resulting in diesel with a cold filter plugging point below 0°C and a sulfur content of less than 30 ppm. It is evident that the aforementioned patented technology does not produce low-pour-point diesel or high-quality light white oil.
[0004] CN 110841701A describes a method for producing white oil by reacting a feedstock with a distillation range of 100℃ to 600℃ with two different molecular sieve catalysts. This method sequentially passes the white oil feedstock through two reactors containing different types of molecular sieves to obtain white oil with low aromatic content. This method uses a combination of precious metal catalysts for isomerization and pour point depletion, reducing the aromatic content in the white oil feedstock; however, precious metal catalysts are expensive, resulting in high costs.
[0005] CN100422295C discloses a method for producing food-grade white oil from hydrotreated tail oil through hydrotreating and supplementary refining processes. This method involves first using a molecular sieve hydrotreating catalyst to perform isomerization and dewaxing of hydrotreated tail oil with an initial boiling point of 320–390℃ and a pour point of -20℃–-10℃, followed by high-pressure supplementary refining at a hydrogen partial pressure of 11–18 MPa and an operating temperature of 200–300℃ to obtain food-grade white oil. However, this method requires operation under high pressure, making the reaction conditions quite harsh.
[0006] In summary, current technologies for producing white oil or diesel oil use molecular sieve catalysts in the white oil production process, which is costly; and while producing diesel oil, they cannot produce high-value-added light white oil. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a process for producing high-quality white oil with a cetane number greater than 70 and a pour point lower than -30°C through a series of catalytic reactions using Fischer-Tropsch synthetic wax as raw material, while producing high-quality white oil with a by-product aromatic content of less than 0.01%.
[0008] To achieve the objectives of this invention, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0009] This invention provides a process for producing high-quality light white oil and diesel oil, comprising the following steps:
[0010] (1) Fischer-Tropsch synthetic wax is obtained by hydrodeoxygenation reaction in a hydrorefining reactor under hydrorefining conditions.
[0011] (2) The refined wax obtained in step (1) is fed into a hydrocracking reactor and undergoes a hydrocracking isomerization reaction under hydrocracking conditions to obtain wax-to-oil conversion.
[0012] (3) The wax conversion oil obtained in step (2) enters the post-refining reactor and undergoes olefin saturation reaction and dearomatic reaction under post-refining conditions to obtain post-refined oil.
[0013] (4) The refined oil obtained in step (3) is distilled and then cut into light white oil, diesel oil and cracked tail oil;
[0014] (5) Part or all of the cracked tail oil obtained in step (4) is recycled to the hydrocracking reactor;
[0015] In step (2), the hydrocracking reactor is filled with a hydrocracking catalyst, and the active component of the hydrocracking catalyst is selected from non-precious metals;
[0016] In step (3), the wax-converted oil passes from top to bottom through the catalyst bed of the post-refining reactor. The catalyst bed is filled with an olefin refining catalyst above and a dearomatization refining agent below. The mass ratio of the olefin refining catalyst to the dearomatization refining agent is 0.1 to 0.5, and the total amount of catalyst in the post-refining reactor is 30 to 50% of the total amount of catalyst in the hydrocracking reactor.
[0017] In some specific embodiments of the process method of the present invention, the catalyst (hydrorefining catalyst) packed in the hydrorefining reactor in step (1) is selected from the sulfide catalyst, and the catalyst support is alumina; in some preferred embodiments, the active component of the sulfide catalyst is selected from nickel and molybdenum (Ni-Mo), nickel and tungsten (Ni-W) or nickel and cobalt (Ni-Co), that is, the sulfide catalyst is selected as a catalyst with two elements as active components, specifically Ni-Mo, Ni-W or Ni-Co; for example, in some specific implementations, a commercially available catalyst (brand name FF26) with Ni-Mo as the active component can be selected.
[0018] In the process provided by this invention, the hydrorefining conditions in step (1) are: reaction pressure of 3-10 MPa, reaction temperature of 200-350 °C, and volume hourly space velocity of 0.5-2 h⁻¹. -1 The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 200:1 to 800:1, for example, 300:1, 500:1, or 700:1; in some preferred embodiments, the reaction pressure is 6 to 8 MPa, the reaction temperature is 200 to 300°C, for example, 220°C, 250°C, or 280°C; and the volume hourly space velocity is 0.5 to 1.2 h⁻¹. -1 The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 200:1 to 500:1, for example, 350:1, 400:1, 450:1.
[0019] In some specific embodiments of the process method of the present invention, the active component of the hydrocracking catalyst in step (2) is a non-precious metal, which is selected from a combination of nickel, molybdenum and tungsten (Ni-Mo-W) or nickel and tungsten (Ni-W); wherein, in terms of the oxide form of the active component, the mass of tungsten oxide is 15-30% of the hydrocracking catalyst, and the mass of nickel oxide is 5-10% of the hydrocracking catalyst.
[0020] In some preferred embodiments, the support for the hydrocracking catalyst does not contain molecular sieves, but is instead made of amorphous silica-alumina with relatively weak acidity. This is to effectively prevent secondary cracking of macromolecular oils to generate naphtha during the hydrocracking isomerization reaction, thereby increasing the yield of light white oil and diesel oil.
[0021] In some specific embodiments, the hydrocracking catalyst has an average pore size of 3–15 nm, for example, 5 nm, 8 nm, 10 nm, or 12 nm; and a specific surface area of 200–500 m². 2 / g, for example, 250m 2 / g, 300m 2 / g, 320m 2 / g, 400m 2 / g, 450m 2 / g.
[0022] In some specific embodiments of the process method of the present invention, the hydrocracking conditions in step (2) are: reaction pressure of 3-10 MPa, for example, 4 MPa or 9 MPa; reaction temperature of 280-400°C, for example, 300°C or 390°C; and volume hourly space velocity of 0.5-3 h⁻¹. -1 For example, 0.8h -1 2.5h -1The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 300:1 to 1000:1, for example, 350:1 or 900:1; in some preferred embodiments, the reaction pressure is 6 to 8 MPa, for example, 7 MPa; the reaction temperature is 320 to 380°C, for example, 330°C or 350°C; and the volume hourly space velocity is 0.5 to 2 h⁻¹. -1 For example, 1 hour -1 1.8h -1 The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 400:1 to 800:1, for example, 500:1 or 700:1.
[0023] In step (3) of the process method of this invention, an olefin refining catalyst is loaded above the catalyst bed in the post-refining reactor, and a dearomatizing refining agent is loaded below. As the wax-converted oil passes through the catalyst bed in the post-refining reactor from top to bottom, an olefin saturation reaction and a dearomatization reaction occur to obtain refined oil. This process significantly reduces the aromatic content of white oil and the sulfur content of diesel fuel by loading two different functional refining catalysts into the post-refining reactor and maintaining a mass ratio of olefin refining catalyst to dearomatizing refining agent of 0.1–0.5. The total amount of catalyst loaded in the post-refining reactor is 30–50% of the total amount of catalyst loaded in the hydrocracking reactor.
[0024] In some specific embodiments, the active component of the olefin refining catalyst in step (3) is selected from the combination of nickel, molybdenum and tungsten (Ni-Mo-W), the combination of nickel, molybdenum and cobalt (Ni-Mo-Co), nickel and molybdenum (Ni-Mo), nickel and tungsten (Ni-W), and nickel and cobalt (Ni-Co); in some preferred embodiments, the active component of the olefin refining catalyst is selected from nickel and molybdenum (Ni-Mo); the active component of the dearomatic refining agent is selected from one or more of nickel, molybdenum or tungsten, preferably the combination of nickel, molybdenum and tungsten (Ni-Mo-W), for example, a commercially available catalyst (brand name FV-1) with Ni-W as the active component can be selected.
[0025] In some specific embodiments of the process method of the present invention, the post-purification conditions in step (3) are: reaction pressure of 3-10 MPa, for example, 4 MPa, 9 MPa; reaction temperature of 240-320°C, for example, 250°C, 290°C; and volume hourly space velocity of 0.5-3 h⁻¹. -1 For example, 0.7h -1 2.5h -1 The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 300:1 to 1000:1, for example, 350:1 or 900:1; in some preferred embodiments, the reaction pressure is 6 to 8 MPa, for example, 7 MPa; the reaction temperature is 260 to 280°C, for example, 270°C; and the volume hourly space velocity is 0.5 to 2 h⁻¹.-1 For example, 0.6h -1 1h -1 1.5h -1 The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 400:1 to 800:1, for example, 500:1 or 700:1.
[0026] In some specific embodiments of the process method of the present invention, the cut-off point between light white oil and diesel oil in step (4) is 220℃~280℃, and the cut-off point between diesel oil and cracked tail oil is 350℃~390℃; in some specific embodiments, the distillation range of light white oil can be selected from 155~225℃, the distillation range of diesel oil can be selected from 225~365℃, and the distillation range of cracked tail oil is generally selected from >365℃.
[0027] The light white oil obtained in step (4) of the present invention has an aromatic content of no more than 0.01% and a color greater than +30; the diesel oil has a cetane number greater than 70 and a pour point less than -30℃.
[0028] The above technical solution achieves the following technical effects:
[0029] This invention uses Fischer-Tropsch synthetic wax as raw material and undergoes a series of catalytic reactions (i.e., hydrorefining-hydrocracking-post-hydrorefining-fractionation) to prepare the product. By controlling the type and loading amount of catalyst in each reaction stage and the different functional catalyst gradations in the post-refining reaction, the aromatic content in light white oil and the sulfur content in diesel oil are significantly reduced, resulting in a light white oil yield of 25% and a diesel oil yield of 55%.
