Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a method for producing aromatic hydrocarbons and isomeric alkanes gasoline, in particular, a method for producing aromatic hydrocarbons and high-octane isomeric alkanes gasoline and enriching hydrogen from a feedstock rich in C6-C8 linear alkanes and / or mono-branched alkanes. BACKGROUND

[0002] BTX (benzene, toluene, xylene) is a basic and important organic raw material in petroleum chemical industry, mainly derived from catalytic reforming of naphtha and pyrolysis gasoline. With large-scale development and utilization of shale gas, ethane replaces naphtha as a cracking raw material for ethylene production, resulting in a decrease in the production of aromatic hydrocarbons from pyrolysis gasoline, and with the continuous increase in the production capacity of downstream products of aromatic hydrocarbons, the gap of aromatic hydrocarbons is becoming more and more obvious, so the production technology of more aromatic hydrocarbons has a clear market demand. At present, the bifunctional reforming catalyst used in the traditional naphtha reforming, whether it is platinum-rhenium or platinum-tin series, has poor performance for the dehydrocyclization aromatization reaction of C6 and C7 alkanes in naphtha, and with the increase of the processing capacity of the reforming device, the efficient utilization of C6 and C7 alkanes in the reforming raffinate has become a problem to be solved.

[0003] At present, for the C6-C8 paraffin aromatization technology, the typical process technology is Chevron Company's Aromax process and UOP Company's RZ Platforming process based on Pt / KL zeolite catalyst. The characteristics of these two processes are to selectively convert low-octane low-aromatic potential raw materials rich in C6-C8 paraffins into aromatic hydrocarbons, which is a process technology for producing aromatic hydrocarbons. L molecular sieve is a one-dimensional pore structure, and sulfur and water in the raw material will cause the aggregation and growth of Pt grains, and these larger Pt grains will block the pores of the L molecular sieve, so that the reaction molecules cannot contact with the active center, thereby causing the activity and selectivity of the alkanes aromatization reaction to decrease rapidly. Therefore, the Pt / KL catalyst has a relatively high requirement for the sulfur and water content in the raw material, and is highly sensitive to sulfur and water, which is much higher than that of the traditional reforming catalyst. The sulfur content in the raw material should not be greater than 0.1 ppm, and the water content should not be greater than 1 ppm. US4456527 discloses that when the sulfur content in the raw material is greater than 0.1 ppm, the activity and aromatic hydrocarbon yield of a non-acidic molecular sieve catalyst loaded with Group VIII metal, such as a Pt / BaKL catalyst, decrease, deactivation occurs, and the stability decreases significantly.

[0004] US4925549 discloses a method for removing residual sulfur from naphtha feed, which comprises first passing the naphtha feed through a reforming catalyst which is not very sensitive to sulfur, then through a solid sulfur adsorbent K / Al2O3, and finally through a L zeolite catalyst which is highly selective and highly sensitive to sulfur, so that the sulfur content is reduced to less than 0.05 ppm. US5322615 discloses a method for removing sulfur from naphtha feed containing sulfur, which comprises first passing the naphtha feed through an adsorbent containing NiO, then through a catalyst containing Group VIII metal to convert organic sulfur into hydrogen sulfide, and then through a solid sulfur adsorbent containing alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, so that the sulfur content is reduced to less than 10 ppb.

[0025] The present application provides a combined process for producing aromatics, high octane dimethyl / multimethyl isomeric alkane gasoline and hydrogen, comprising: treating a C6-C8 alkane feedstock enriched in normal and / or single branched alkane by hydrogenation desulfurization and denitrification, dehydration, fractional desulfurization, dehydration and alkane aromatization to obtain aromatics and isomeric alkane gasoline; in the fractional desulfurization and dehydration, the material treated by hydrogenation desulfurization and denitrification, dehydration is sequentially treated by first adsorption, sulfur conversion and second adsorption, and a dehydration step is provided after the second adsorption to make the water content lower than 1 ppm.

[0027] The C6-C8 alkane raw material rich in normal alkane and / or single branched alkane has a C6-C7 alkane content of not less than 80% by mass, preferably not less than 85% by mass, a C5 - alkane content of not more than 10% by mass, a C8 + alkane content of not more than 10% by mass, a S content of 2-300 ppm, and a H2O content of 20-300 ppm.

[0028] The C6-C8 alkane raw material rich in normal alkane and / or single branched alkane is at least one of narrow fraction refined naphtha, reforming product oil, hydrocracking gasoline, aromatic raffinate, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis naphtha, and alkylate product oil, has a S content of 2-500 ppm, and a H2O content of 20-500 ppm.

[0029] The C6-C8 alkane raw material rich in normal alkane and / or single branched alkane is C6 alkane, C7 alkane, or a mixture of C6 and C7 alkane or C6, C7 and C8 alkane, has a S content of 2-300 ppm, and a H2O content of 20-300 ppm.

[0030] The method provided by the present application comprises:

[0031] (1) Hydrogenation desulfurization and denitrification: the C6-C8 alkane raw material rich in normal alkane and / or single branched alkane is subjected to hydrogenation pretreatment and dehydration by contacting with hydrogen to obtain a preliminary dehydration material, and then is contacted with a sulfur protective agent to obtain a first material, wherein the sulfur content and nitrogen content of the preliminary dehydration material are not higher than 2 ppm, and the H2O content is not higher than 50 ppm, and the sulfur content and nitrogen content of the first material are not higher than 0.5 ppm, and the H2O content is not higher than 20 ppm;

[0032] (2) Fractionated desulfurization and dehydration: the first material of step (1) is subjected to first adsorption by contacting with a sulfur adsorbent I, then is contacted with a sulfur conversion catalyst, then is subjected to second adsorption by contacting with a sulfur adsorbent II, and finally is subjected to drying and dehydration to obtain a second material with a sulfur content of less than 0.1 ppm and a water content of less than 1 ppm;

[0033] (3) Alkane aromatization reaction: the second material of step (2) is subjected to aromatization reaction by contacting with hydrogen in the presence of a zeolite catalyst, and the product is separated into an aromatic component and a non-aromatic component, and the non-aromatic component is isomeric alkane gasoline.

[0034] In the method described, step (1) involves pretreating C6-C8 alkane feedstock rich in n-alkanes and / or branched alkanes by contacting them with hydrogen. This pretreats impurities, including those containing sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen, by converting them into H2S, NH3, and H2O, which are then separated. The hydrogenation catalyst used in the pretreat is selected from those known in the art, including group VIB and group VIII metals on an inorganic oxide support and a supported substrate, such as Co-Mo, Ni-Mo, Ni-W, and Ni-Co-W system catalysts. The reaction pressure is 1.5–3.0 MPa, the reaction temperature is 250–350 °C, and the volume hourly space velocity is 6–12 h⁻¹. -1 The hydrogen / hydrocarbon molar ratio is 0.1–2. The reaction products undergo gas-liquid separation at a high-efficiency fractionation unit to remove most impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, and water. The products then enter a dehydration tower for further dehydration, separating dissolved hydrogen, H2S, HCl, cracked gas (C1, C2, and C3 components), and water from the pre-hydrogenated product oil. The dehydration tower operates at a pressure of 0.80–1.2 MPa, with a top temperature of 70–120°C and a bottom temperature of 200–230°C.

[0035] To prevent the adverse effects of reaction fluctuations and protect the sulfur adsorbent and sulfur converter in the subsequent staged deep desulfurization step (2), the material after hydrogenation pretreatment and purification is preferably contacted with a sulfur protective bed by a sulfur protective agent. The sulfur protective agent serves to reduce the adsorption amount of the sulfur adsorbent in the subsequent deep desulfurization process before it is applied; it also protects the sulfur adsorbent and sulfur converter in the subsequent deep desulfurization process from adverse effects of reaction fluctuations, such as excessive sulfur due to operational abnormalities. Conventional sulfur adsorbents are generally used as the sulfur protective agent, as they are relatively inexpensive. The sulfur protectant for a sulfur-protected bed comprises a carrier and an active component supported thereon. The carrier is Al₂O₃, and the active component is selected from copper oxide, zinc oxide, activated carbon, and molecular sieves. The content of the active component is 15-50% by mass. Based on the mass of the sulfur protectant, the contact temperature with the sulfur protectant in the sulfur-protected bed is 40-200°C, which is the bed temperature of the sulfur protectant. The volume hourly space velocity (HHSV) is 4-20 h⁻¹. -1 After the hydrogenation pretreatment in step (1) and the primary desulfurization, denitrification and dehydration treatment in the sulfur protective bed, the first material has a sulfur content and nitrogen content not higher than 0.5 ppm, an H2O content not higher than 20 ppm, As and Hg both less than 1 ppb, Cu and Pb both less than 10 ppb, and Si less than 1 ppm. Preferably, the sulfur content is 0.2 to 0.5 ppm and the water content is 5 to 20 ppm.

[0037] The raw material is subjected to primary desulfurization, denitrification and dehydration in step (1) to obtain a first material, and then subjected to staged desulfurization and dehydration in step (2).

The sulfur adsorbent I can be loaded into a single container or two containers, and the two containers can be used in series or in parallel, and one of the containers can be removed for regeneration or replacement of the adsorbent.

[0039] In step (2), after the first adsorption, the material enters a sulfur conversion zone and is contacted with a sulfur conversion agent for a sulfur conversion reaction to convert residual organic sulfur into H2S, and the reaction conditions include a temperature of 250-400°C, a pressure of 0.3-1.0 MPa, a volume space velocity of 4-12 h-1, and a hydrogen / hydrocarbon molar ratio of 0.1-3. -1 The sulfur conversion agent includes a carrier alumina and a Group VIII metal and optional metal K supported on the carrier alumina, the Group VIII metal is Pt and / or Pd; the mass fraction of the Group VIII metal is 0.2-2%, and the mass fraction of the metal K is 0-0.5%, based on the mass of the carrier alumina.

[0040] In step (2), after the sulfur conversion reaction, the material in the second adsorption zone is contacted with sulfur adsorbent II to adsorb and remove H2S, and the reaction conditions include: temperature of 250-350°C, pressure of 0.3-1.0 MPa, volume space velocity of 4-12 h -1 , and hydrogen / hydrocarbon molar ratio of 0.1-3.

The sulfur adsorbent II can be packed in two vessels, which can be connected in series or in parallel, and one of the vessels can be removed for regeneration or replacement of the adsorbent.

[0041] In step (2), after the first adsorption, sulfur conversion and second adsorption, the material is dehydrated by a feed dryer to obtain a second material before entering the aromatization reactor. The feed dryer includes a bed layer containing activated alumina and molecular sieve, and the molecular sieve is preferably 4A and / or 5A molecular sieve. The feed dryer can include a single vessel or two vessels, which can be connected in series or in parallel, and one of the vessels can be removed for regeneration or replacement, and the use temperature of the feed dryer is 20-50°C, the pressure is 0.3-1.0 MPa, and the volume space velocity is 2-10 h -1 .

[0042] The second material is obtained after steps (1) and (2). In the second material, the normal alkanes and / or single-methyl alkanes in C6-C8 alkanes have low octane number, which are converted into aromatic hydrocarbons and high-octane dimethyl / multi-methyl alkanes by contacting with an aromatization catalyst in step (3). The high-octane dimethyl / multi-methyl alkanes can be 2,2-dimethylbutane, 2,3-dimethylbutane, 2,3-dimethylpentane, 2,3-dimethylpentane, 2,2,3-trimethylbutane, etc.

[0043] When the sulfur and water contents in the second material meet the required standards, i.e., the sulfur content is lower than 0.1 ppm and the water content is lower than 1 ppm, the second material can be mixed with hydrogen for the alkanes aromatization reaction in step (3).

[0044] In step (3), the second material is subjected to aromatization reaction with hydrogen in the presence of a zeolite catalyst comprising L-zeolite and platinum supported thereon. The L-zeolite catalyst has high aromatization reactivity and aromatic selectivity, and can convert alkanes with low octane number in the raw material into aromatic hydrocarbons, while producing highly branched alkanes with high octane number.

The preferable order of adding the materials is: dissolving the aluminum source in an alkali solution, then slowly adding the alkali solution to a silica sol, stirring to form a white gel, and then aging at 25-35°C for 24-72 hours to obtain a translucent sol, which is the crystallization directing agent.

[0053] The step (b) of the method for preparing the L zeolite is the hydrothermal crystallization of the reaction mixture gel.
