Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalytic oil slurry treatment technology, and in particular relates to a method and system for preparing oil-based needle coke from catalytic oil slurry. Background Technology

[0002] Catalytic slurry contains a large amount of aromatics and is a high-quality feedstock for producing oil-based needle coke. As the sulfur content of crude oil gradually increases, the sulfur content of catalytic slurry also increases. Low-sulfur catalytic slurry resources are scarce, and catalytic slurry with a sulfur content >0.5 wt% has become the main source of feedstock for needle coke production. To address the problem of high sulfur content in existing catalytic slurry, a hydrotreating process is typically used to remove some of the sulfur, reducing the sulfur content of the catalytic slurry to below 0.5 wt%, or even below 0.4 wt%.

[0003] CN110511785A discloses a method for preparing needle coke feedstock by catalytic oil slurry. The specific steps are as follows: adding low molecular weight n-alkanes to the oil slurry, deasphalting to obtain the supernatant, and then extracting and desolidifying the supernatant to obtain aromatic oil. The aromatic oil is then subjected to hydrodesulfurization treatment to obtain the needle coke feedstock.

[0004] CN106147835A discloses a combined method for separating catalytic cracking slurry and preparing oil-based needle coke. The method uses C3-C5 light hydrocarbon fractions as extraction solvents to perform subcritical or supercritical extraction on the catalytic cracking slurry. The obtained extracted oil phase is then processed using supercritical solvent recovery to obtain an extract component. This extract component is used as a raw material for preparing mesophase asphalt, which is then subjected to thermal polycondensation to prepare mesophase asphalt. The mesophase asphalt is then subjected to delayed coking to obtain high-quality oil-based needle coke. When the sulfur content of the catalytic cracking slurry is high, the extracted light component can be first subjected to hydrodesulfurization treatment. The hydrotreated oil is then fractionated to collect the hydrotreated tail oil, which is used as a raw material for preparing mesophase asphalt, and subsequently, needle coke.

[0005] In all the above methods, aromatics are first enriched by extraction, and then impurities such as sulfur are removed by hydrogenation. The resulting low-sulfur catalytic slurry is then used directly as a raw material for the production of needle coke. Summary of the Invention

[0006] During the research process, the applicant discovered that after the catalytic slurry is hydrogenated, the molecular structure of the aromatic hydrocarbons in the catalytic slurry changes. The aromatic hydrocarbons with short side chains are transformed into aromatic hydrocarbons with a large number of alkyl or cycloalkyl side chains. When the hydrogenated slurry is used in the production of needle coke, the molecular reaction state is very different, resulting in a loose structure between the layers of the obtained needle coke product, which affects the mechanical properties of the product.

[0044] Compared with existing technologies, the comprehensive utilization method and system for catalytic oil slurry provided by this invention have the following advantages:

[0045] (1) The catalytic slurry comprehensive utilization method provided by this invention examines and optimizes the molecular structure of needle coke feedstock at the microscopic level. During hydrodesulfurization, the catalytic slurry will inevitably saturate some aromatic rings. When used directly as feedstock to prepare needle coke, these aromatics with saturated side chains will undergo chain breaking or aromatization reactions. The small molecules generated will escape and disturb the reaction system, which is not conducive to the liquid phase carbonization reaction and leads to incomplete development of the intermediate phase, directly affecting the microstructure of needle coke. In addition, the simultaneous occurrence of aromatic side chain breaking reaction and condensation reaction will affect the planarity of the condensed macromolecules, resulting in a loose lamellar structure of needle coke and a decrease in mechanical properties. This invention moves the side chain breaking reaction and cycloalkyl aromatization reaction to the cracking reaction zone, ensuring from the molecular structure perspective that the aromatics in the cracking products are all aromatics with a small amount of short side chains, which are more suitable as feedstock for the production of needle coke.

[0046] (2) In the comprehensive utilization method of catalytic oil slurry provided by the present invention, after the catalytic oil slurry undergoes hydrogenation treatment and cracking reaction, the saturated hydrocarbon content will increase and the relative aromatic hydrocarbon content will decrease. Furthermore, by combining with the extraction process, the aromatic hydrocarbons in the extraction phase are enriched, and the aromatic hydrocarbon content in the material is increased again, thus making up for the adverse effects of hydrogenation treatment and cracking reaction.

[0047] (3) The comprehensive utilization method of catalytic oil slurry provided by the present invention makes full use of various structural aromatics in catalytic oil slurry, and produces high-value naphtha products as by-products while obtaining high-quality needle coke products. After hydrotreating, cracking reaction, extraction and fractionation, the heavy fraction is used as raw material for producing needle coke, and the light fraction is mainly composed of monocyclic and bicyclic aromatics. The light fraction is returned to the hydrotreating reaction zone to continue the reaction with the catalytic oil slurry, which will produce high-value naphtha products as by-products.
