By inputting the distillation range distribution, hydrocarbon composition content, elemental content, and density data of the catalytic cracking feedstock and running the program, a 3308-row × 23-column molecular composition matrix of the catalytic cracking feedstock is obtained.

[0152] Step S4: Based on the structure-guided lumping method and the reaction mechanism of catalytic cracking, the reaction rules of catalytic cracking are formulated, and then according to the reaction rules and the molecular composition matrix of the catalytic cracking feedstock oil, multiple reaction paths and a catalytic cracking reaction network composed of the multiple reaction paths are generated.

[0153] Specifically, the reaction rules consist of two parts: reactant selection rules and product generation rules. The reactant selection rules are used to select molecules that can undergo a specific reaction from the raw material molecule composition matrix, while the product generation rules are used to generate new molecules obtained through the reaction. This example uses a structure vector containing 22 structural units in one row to describe the molecules in the reaction system. The selection of reactant molecules and the generation of product molecules are achieved by determining and changing the values ​​of the structural units.

[0154] A total of 17 major categories and 96 minor categories of reaction rules were developed based on the compositional classification of alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes, aromatics, sulfides, nitrides, and oxides in the reaction system. The 17 major categories of reaction rules are shown in Table 2. After obtaining the reaction rules, the constructed molecular composition matrix of the FCC feedstock was used as input. Combined with the reaction rules, a FCC process reaction network consisting of approximately 80,000 reactions was obtained.

[0157] S5: Combined with the reaction rate constant, the catalytic cracking reaction network is converted into a set of reaction kinetic differential equations, which are solved using the improved Runge-Kutta method to obtain a molecular-level catalytic cracking process reaction kinetic model.

[0158] Specifically: The transition state search method in the Dmol3 module of Materials Studio software was used to obtain the entropy change and energy barrier of different reactions, and to calculate the reaction rate constants of different types of reactions.

[0159] The reaction rate constant is calculated as:

[0160]

[0161] Among them, k B is a constant, k B =1.38×10 -23 J / K; h is Planck's constant; R is the ideal gas constant; T is the reaction temperature, K; ΔS is the entropy change of the reaction, J / (mol·K); ΔE is the energy barrier of the reaction, kcal / mol; P is the reaction pressure, MPa

[0162] Figure 7 The calculation block diagram of the molecular-level catalytic cracking reaction kinetic model of the embodiment is as follows: Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the reaction network is combined with the reaction rate constant to establish a molecular-level catalytic cracking reaction kinetic model. Specifically, the total catalytic cracking reaction time is divided into n reaction intervals, and the improved Runge-Kutta method is used to solve the reaction process. In each reaction interval, the raw material molecular composition matrix is ​​input, and the reaction network is generated according to the reaction rules. Combined with the reaction rate constant, the reaction kinetic differential equations in each reaction interval are solved to obtain the reaction product molecular composition matrix of the reaction interval.

[0163] The product molecular composition matrix of the previous reaction interval is combined with the remaining reactant molecular composition matrix to serve as the reaction feedstock for the next reaction interval. The above process is repeated 20 times to obtain the final reaction product molecular composition matrix of the catalytic cracking reaction process.

[0164] The present invention also cuts the catalytic cracking products into dry gas, liquefied gas, gasoline, diesel, slurry oil and coke, and uses industrial device data to verify the reliability of the model calculation data.

[0165] The reaction kinetics model is combined with the actual production equipment of the factory, and the corresponding product partitioning rules are designed according to the product segmentation situation. This paper takes the 800,000 tons / year wax oil catalytic cracking unit of a refinery of PetroChina as the research object. The main operating parameters of the reactor in the catalytic cracking unit are shown in Table 3.

[0167] project Numerical Inlet temperature / ℃ 545.0 Outlet temperature / ℃ 501.0 Agent-oil ratio 7.32 Residence time / s 4.01

[0168] The constructed molecular composition matrix of the catalytic cracking feedstock oil was input into the molecular-level catalytic cracking reaction kinetics model for calculation to obtain the product yield, group composition content and typical molecule content (see Table 5). Combined with the oil property calculation model, the main property indicators of the product were calculated.

[0169] The above calculated indicators were compared with industrial data to verify the accuracy of the molecular-level gas oil catalytic cracking reaction process model. A comparison of the calculated catalytic cracking product yields with industrial values ​​is shown in Table 4.

[0170] Table 4 Comparison of calculated and industrial yields of catalytic cracking products

[0171]

[0172]

[0173] As shown in Table 4, the product yields calculated based on the molecular-level catalytic cracking reaction kinetics model are in good agreement with the industrial values, with an absolute error of less than 0.9 wt%.

[0174] Figure 8 The figure is a comparison chart of the calculated and industrial values ​​of the group composition content in gasoline and diesel of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the group composition content in gasoline and diesel calculated based on the molecular-level catalytic cracking reaction kinetics model is in good agreement with the industrial value.

[0175] The molecular-level catalytic cracking reaction kinetics model can be used to calculate the typical molecular content in catalytic cracking products. The comparison between the calculated values ​​and industrial values ​​of the typical molecular content in the product liquefied gas, gasoline and diesel is shown in Table 5:

[0176] Table 5 Comparison of calculated and industrial values ​​of typical molecular contents in product liquefied gas, gasoline and diesel

[0177]

[0178]

[0179] As shown in Table 5, the typical molecular contents in liquefied gas, gasoline and diesel calculated based on the molecular-level catalytic cracking reaction kinetics model are highly consistent with the industrial values, with an absolute error within 0.7 wt%.

[0180] Step S6: Combining the reaction kinetics model and the oil property calculation model, a molecular-level catalytic cracking process reaction kinetics model combined with the oil property calculation function is constructed to predict the product composition distribution and properties.

[0181] Specifically, the molecular composition matrix of gasoline and diesel is calculated through the reaction kinetics model of the molecular-level catalytic cracking process, and the properties of gasoline and diesel can be obtained by inputting the gasoline and diesel molecular composition matrix into the oil property calculation model.

[0182] Figure 9 The gasoline and diesel distillation range calculated values ​​and industrial values ​​of the embodiment are compared in FIG. Figure 9 As shown, the gasoline and diesel distillation range distributions calculated based on the molecular-level catalytic cracking process reaction kinetics model combined with oil product property calculation capabilities are consistent with industrial data. A comparison of the calculated values ​​and industrial values ​​for the density and octane number of the product gasoline, and the density and cetane number of the product diesel, is shown in Table 6:

[0183] Table 6 Comparison of calculated values ​​and industrial values ​​of density and octane number of product gasoline, density and cetane number of product diesel

[0184]

[0185] As shown in Table 6, the relative errors of the density and octane number of the gasoline product, as well as the density and cetane number of the diesel product, calculated based on the molecular-level catalytic cracking process reaction kinetics model combined with the oil property calculation function, and the industrial data are all less than 2.2%.

[0186] By verifying and comparing indicators such as product yield, product group composition content, typical molecular content, and product gasoline and diesel properties calculated by the molecular-level catalytic cracking process reaction kinetics model combined with the oil property calculation function with industrial data, it is shown that the molecular-level catalytic cracking process reaction kinetics model combined with the oil property calculation function established by the present invention has high reliability and can predict product composition and properties at the molecular level.

[0187] The present invention also explores the effect of reaction temperature on the distribution of group composition in gasoline and diesel, and examines the change pattern of the properties of alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes and aromatics in gasoline and diesel with relative molecular weight, exploring the effect of reaction temperature on the properties of gasoline and diesel from the perspective of molecular composition.

[0188] Figure 10 The effect of reaction temperature on gasoline properties in the embodiment is shown in FIG. Figure 10As shown, as the reaction temperature increases, the depth of the cracking reaction further intensifies, further cracking the macromolecules in the gasoline, diesel, and slurry products to produce more small molecules, thereby increasing the content of small molecules in the gasoline product. Therefore, overall, at a given distillation temperature, the fraction volume of gasoline components increases with increasing reaction temperature. Because higher reaction temperatures favor cracking and aromatization reactions and hinder hydrogen transfer reactions, the content of aromatics and olefins in gasoline increases, while the content of cycloalkanes and alkanes decreases with increasing reaction temperature. The density of aromatic molecules is generally higher than that of cycloalkanes, and the density of olefin molecules is generally higher than that of alkanes. The octane numbers of aromatic and olefin molecules are generally higher than those of cycloalkanes and alkanes. Therefore, as the reaction temperature increases, the density and octane number of the gasoline product increase.

[0189] Figure 11 The effect of reaction temperature on diesel properties is shown in FIG. Figure 11 As shown, as the reaction temperature increases, the aromatic content in diesel increases, while the cycloalkanes and alkanes decrease. This is because higher reaction temperatures favor the highly endothermic cracking and aromatization reactions. The density of aromatic molecules in diesel is generally higher than that of other hydrocarbon molecules, and the density of aromatic molecules increases with relative molecular weight. The cetane number of cycloalkanes is generally higher than that of aromatics, and the cetane number of alkanes is generally higher than that of olefins. Therefore, increasing the reaction temperature increases the density of the diesel product and decreases its cetane number.

[0190] In summary, the molecular-level catalytic cracking process reaction kinetics model combined with the oil property calculation function established in the present invention conforms to the reaction laws of the catalytic cracking process.

[0191] Although the above embodiment provides a detailed description of the present invention, it is only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Other embodiments can be obtained based on this embodiment without creativity, and these embodiments all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
