[0002] The balance agent in fluidized bed catalytic cracking units typically uses molecular sieves to provide catalytic reaction active centers. Due to the long-term operation of the balance agent in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, the framework structure of the molecular sieve in the balance agent will undergo dealuminization, resulting in a decrease in the activity of the balance agent, which cannot meet the operating requirements of industrial units. This not only leads to the discharge and waste of a large amount of low-activity balance agent, but also increases the consumption of fresh balance agent, thereby affecting the economic, environmental and safety aspects of the unit operation.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a method for enhancing the activity of a catalytic cracking equilibrium agent, comprising:
[0035] Step 101: The equilibrium agent in regenerator 1 is transferred to external heat exchanger 2 for heat exchange, thereby cooling the equilibrium agent to 350℃~650℃. In practical applications, before being transferred to external heat exchanger 2, the equilibrium agent needs to be charred in air within regenerator 1 to remove carbon from the equilibrium agent, thus restoring its activity. Specifically, since the temperature of the equilibrium agent during carbon removal in regenerator 1 is relatively high, reaching 710℃, it is necessary to cool the equilibrium agent to ensure that it can return to the normal reaction temperature.
[0036] Step 102: Nitrogen gas is introduced into the external heat exchanger 2 to purge the balancing agent, ensuring that the O2 concentration of non-condensable gases inside the external heat exchanger 2 does not exceed 5 vol%. In practical applications, purging the balancing agent with nitrogen creates a relatively inert environment inside the external heat exchanger 2, thereby reducing the oxygen content and preventing the reaction between air and the activator. Specifically, the balancing agent is a molecular sieve-containing balancing agent for fluidized bed catalytic reactions, including one or more symbiotic molecular sieves or mixtures of molecular sieves such as ZSM, SAPO, and Y types.
[0037] Step 103: After preheating, the activator forms a mixed gas with nitrogen. The preheating temperature of the activator is 160℃~200℃. In practical applications, the activator is solid at room temperature and becomes gaseous between 160℃ and 200℃. Specifically, since the flow rate of nitrogen can be controlled, nitrogen is used as the carrier gas for the activator to maintain a constant flow rate of the activator entering the external heat exchanger 2, thereby controlling the amount of activator added. In addition, nitrogen can increase the dispersibility of the activator, allowing for more uniform contact between the activator and the balancing agent.
[0038] Step 104: The mixed gas is transported to the external heat exchanger 2 and brought into uniform contact with the balancing agent to enhance its activity, thus obtaining an activity-enhanced balancing agent. Specifically, after the mixed gas is transported to the external heat exchanger 2, the activator in the mixed gas reacts with the balancing agent to obtain an activity-enhanced balancing agent, thereby improving the regeneration efficiency of the balancing agent, realizing online activity enhancement of the balancing agent, and avoiding problems such as large-scale discharge and waste of balancing agent.
[0039] Step 105: Purge the activator balancing agent into the external heat exchanger 2 with nitrogen gas. In practical applications, the balancing agent and activator will react and leave some activator behind. Nitrogen purging can completely remove the activator to prevent it from flowing back into the regenerator 1 and affecting it.
[0040] Step 106: After purging, the activity-enhancing balancing agent is transported to regenerator 1. In practical applications, the activity-enhancing balancing agent significantly increases the micro-reaction activity compared to the balancing agent before activity enhancement, which can solve the problem of high consumption of fresh balancing agent and large-scale discharge and waste of balancing agent in fluidized bed catalytic cracking units due to insufficient activity of balancing agent in the reaction system.
[0041] This invention provides a method for enhancing the activity of a catalytic cracking equilibrium agent. The method includes: transferring the equilibrium agent from a regenerator 1 to an external heat exchanger 2 for heat exchange, thereby cooling the equilibrium agent to 350°C–650°C; purging the equilibrium agent with nitrogen gas into the external heat exchanger 2 to ensure that the O2 concentration of non-condensable gases in the external heat exchanger 2 does not exceed 5 vol%; forming a mixed gas with a preheated activator at a temperature of 160°C–200°C; conveying the mixed gas into the external heat exchanger 2 for uniform contact with the equilibrium agent to enhance its activity and obtain an enhanced equilibrium agent; purging the enhanced equilibrium agent with nitrogen gas into the external heat exchanger 2; and finally, conveying the enhanced equilibrium agent back to the regenerator 1. This invention enables online activity enhancement of the equilibrium agent without requiring it to be removed from the device, thus improving the regeneration efficiency of the equilibrium agent, avoiding large-scale discharge and waste, and enhancing the recycling effect of the equilibrium agent.
[0042] Specifically, before introducing nitrogen gas into the external heat exchanger 2 to purge the activity-enhancing balancing agent, the process also includes:
[0043] After the mixed gas is cooled to 150℃~180℃ through heat exchange, it is transported to the condensation tank 3 to recover the activator. In practical applications, there will be residue after the mixed gas and the balancing agent react. Therefore, cooling the mixed gas first and then recovering the activator in the mixed gas can not only avoid the waste of activator, but also significantly reduce the amount of activator used, thereby reducing the cost of improving the activity of the balancing agent.
[0044] In practical applications, nitrogen gas is introduced into the external heat exchanger 2 to purge the balancing agent, ensuring that the O2 concentration of non-condensable gases within the external heat exchanger 2 does not exceed 5 vol%. Specifically, this includes:
[0045] Nitrogen gas is introduced into the external heat exchanger 2 to purge the balancing agent for 5 to 20 minutes to ensure that the O2 concentration of non-condensable gases in the external heat exchanger 2 does not exceed 5 vol%. Specifically, purging the balancing agent with nitrogen gas for 5 to 20 minutes reduces the O2 concentration of non-condensable gases in the external heat exchanger 2 and prevents the air from reacting with the activator.
[0046] Specifically, the activator is an aluminum salt. The aluminum salt is one or more of aluminum chloride, aluminum nitrate, and aluminum sulfate.
[0047] In practical applications, the activator is preheated and then forms a mixed gas with nitrogen. The preheating temperature of the activator is 160℃~200℃, specifically including:
[0048] After the activator is preheated, it forms a mixed gas with nitrogen. The nitrogen concentration in the mixed gas is 3 vol% to 35 vol%, and the preheating temperature of the activator is 160℃ to 200℃.
[0049] Specifically, the molar ratio of the balancing agent to the activator is 1:0.005 to 1:0.5.
[0050] In practical applications, the mixed gas is transported into the external heat exchanger 2 and brought into uniform contact with the balancing agent to enhance its activity, resulting in an activity-enhanced balancing agent. Specifically, this includes:
[0051] The mixed gas is conveyed into the external heat exchanger 2 and uniformly contacted with the balancing agent for 30 to 90 minutes to enhance the activity of the balancing agent, thus obtaining an activity-enhanced balancing agent. In practical applications, when the temperature of the balancing agent is high, the contact time between the mixed gas and the balancing agent is relatively short; when the temperature of the balancing agent is low, the contact time between the mixed gas and the balancing agent is relatively long.
[0052] In practical applications, nitrogen gas is introduced into the external heat exchanger 2 to purge the activity-enhancing balancing agent, specifically including:
[0053] Nitrogen gas is introduced into the external heat exchanger 2 to purge the activator and balancer so that the activator content in the non-condensable gas does not exceed 1 vol.
[0054] To more clearly demonstrate the present invention, specific operational examples are given below:

[0077] The balancing agent is calculated based on SiO2, and the molar ratio of the balancing agent to the activator is 1:0.5.
[0078] The mixed gas is transported to the external heat exchanger 2 and uniformly contacted with the balancing agent for 90 minutes to enhance the activity of the balancing agent and obtain the activity-enhanced balancing agent four.
[0079] Comparative Example 1:
[0080] The equilibrium agent after use of the catalytic cracking unit is used to obtain a comparative equilibrium agent one.
[0081] Comparative Example 2:
[0082] Before using the catalytic cracking unit, the balancing agent was subjected to hydrothermal treatment at 800℃ for 4 hours to obtain the second balancing agent.
[0083] Microreactive activity tests were performed on the balancing agents obtained from Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0084] Table 1. Test table of microreactive properties of balancer
[0085]
[0086] Table 1 shows that the micro-reaction activity of the balancing agent in Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 is significantly improved. In particular, the balancing agent in Example 3 achieves excellent regeneration effect. That is, the balancing agent activity enhancement method of this application can realize the online activity enhancement of the balancing agent, which can not only improve the regeneration efficiency of the balancing agent and avoid a large amount of balancing agent discharge and waste, but also improve the recycling of the balancing agent. At the same time, the balancing agent has almost no impact on its wear index after in-situ regeneration.
[0087] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a device for enhancing the activity of a catalytic cracking equilibrium agent. This device is applicable to the above-mentioned method for enhancing the activity of a catalytic cracking equilibrium agent, and includes a regenerator 1, an external heat exchanger 2, a condensation tank 3, and a preheating tank 4. In practical applications, the external heat exchanger 2 is equipped with a coil, and water flows through the coil. After the water vaporizes, it carries away heat, thereby cooling the equilibrium agent.
[0088] In practical applications, the outlet of regenerator 1 and the inlet of external heat exchanger 2 are connected by a first pipe, on which a first valve 5 is installed. The outlet of external heat exchanger 2 and the inlet of regenerator 1 are connected by a second pipe, on which a second valve 6 is installed. Specifically, when it is necessary to transfer the balancing agent in regenerator 1 to external heat exchanger 2, the first valve 5 is opened, and the first valve 5 is closed after the transfer is completed; when it is necessary to transfer the activity-enhancing balancing agent in external heat exchanger 2 to regenerator 1 for reuse, the second valve 6 is opened, and the second valve 6 is closed after the transfer is completed.
[0089] Continue to refer to Figure 1As shown, the outlets of the condensate storage tank 3 and the external heat exchanger 2 are connected. The preheating tank 4 is connected to the first inlet of the external heat exchanger 2, and the preheating tank 4 is configured to preheat the activator. The second inlet of the external heat exchanger 2 is connected to the nitrogen storage tank 7. Specifically, when this catalytic cracking balance agent activity enhancement device is used, the first valve 5 is opened first, and the balance agent in the regenerator 1 enters the external heat exchanger 2 through the first pipe. Then the first valve 5 is closed, and the balance agent undergoes heat exchange in the external heat exchanger 2. After that, nitrogen gas is introduced into the external heat exchanger 2 to purge the balance agent. Then, the activator is transported to the preheating tank 4 for preheating to turn the activator into a gas. After preheating, the activator forms a mixed gas with nitrogen gas. Then, the mixed gas is transported to the external heat exchanger 2 to react with the balance agent to obtain the activity enhancement balance agent. Then, nitrogen gas is introduced into the external heat exchanger 2 to purge the activity enhancement balance agent. Finally, the second valve 6 is opened to transport the purged activity enhancement balance agent to the regenerator 1 for reuse. This application enables online activity enhancement of the balancer without removing it from the device. This not only improves the regeneration efficiency of the balancer and avoids the discharge and waste of large amounts of balancer, but also enhances the recycling effect of the balancer.
