Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil processing, and relates to a method for producing gasoline from Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil and an apparatus for implementing the method. Specifically, it relates to a method for producing ultra-clean gasoline by coupling Fischer-Tropsch synthesis with methanol and an apparatus for implementing the method. Background Technology
[0002] Both coal-to-methanol technology and coal indirect liquefaction technology (Fischer-Tropsch synthesis) are technologies that use coal as raw material to produce liquid hydrocarbons from syngas obtained through coal gasification. Because the syngas is purified in the syngas treatment unit, the products of these two technologies are inherently clean, containing no sulfur or nitrogen. Given the global scarcity of oil resources and the urgent need for clean energy for environmental protection, their downstream processing routes have emerged.
[0003] Coal-to-methanol (CTM) is a traditional and mature technology, holding a leading position globally. Previously, methanol was primarily used for the oxidation of formaldehyde and formic acid. With the development of C1 chemistry, the synthesis of ethylene glycol, ethanol, and acetaldehyde from methanol has gained increasing attention. However, in recent years, due to methanol overcapacity, global oil resource scarcity, and the urgent need for clean energy for environmental protection, methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) technology has gradually matured. Mobil was the first to propose the MTG process, which uses coal or natural gas to produce syngas, then uses syngas to produce methanol, and finally uses methanol to produce gasoline under the action of a catalyst. Currently, the MTG fixed-bed process technology from ExxonMobil has been industrialized, consuming 2.7-2.9 tons of methanol per ton of gasoline, with a gasoline yield of 34-35%. The product gasoline has an octane rating of 93, is sulfur-free, lead-free, and low in olefins. MTG is a strongly exothermic process. The fixed-bed process uses a large amount of low-carbon hydrocarbon circulation to control the temperature rise of the reaction bed, resulting in high energy consumption. Subsequently, many researchers conducted fluidized bed studies, which better solved the heat transfer problem, but the gasoline yield is lower.
[0004] In Fischer-Tropsch synthetic petroleum products, components with a distillation range above 150°C account for over 80%. Current industrialized coal indirect liquefaction technologies primarily convert these components into clean diesel blending components through hydrorefining and hydrocracking. However, there are relatively few reports on technologies for converting this fraction into gasoline, mainly including the following patents:
[0005] CN106609154B discloses a method for producing gasoline from Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oils. This method employs a parallel dual-reactor system to process the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oils. The first reactor is a riser reactor, using a cracking catalyst containing octahedral zeolite and five-membered ring high-silica zeolite (preferably phosphorus- and tungsten-modified ZSM-5) to process Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil fractions with a distillation range of 200–750°C. The second reactor is a riser reactor, fluidized bed reactor, moving bed reactor, downflow reactor, or a combination of these, using a mixed catalyst of spent and regenerated catalysts as an aromatization catalyst to process self-produced liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and / or gasoline fractions. The gasoline obtained by this method has an octane rating (RON) between 89.1 and 93.1, but the gasoline yield is below 66.2%.
[0006] CN109694741A discloses a method for producing clean gasoline from Fischer-Tropsch synthetic wax. The method first involves cracking the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic wax to obtain cracked gasoline. The obtained gasoline is then fractionated to obtain rich gas, light gasoline fraction, heavy gasoline fraction, diesel fraction, and recycled oil. The light gasoline fraction undergoes hydroisomerization to obtain isomerized gasoline fraction. The rich gas is separated to obtain isobutane and butene, which are then alkylated to obtain alkylated gasoline fraction. The obtained heavy gasoline fraction, isomerized gasoline fraction, and alkylated gasoline fraction are blended to obtain the final clean gasoline. CN109694742A describes a process where the light gasoline fraction from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis wax cracking is aromatized to obtain an aromatized gasoline fraction; the rich gas is separated to obtain isobutane, n-butene, and isobutene; the isobutane and n-butene are alkylated to obtain an alkylated gasoline fraction; the isobutene is selectively alkylated and hydrogenated to obtain a quasi-alkylated gasoline fraction; and the obtained heavy gasoline fraction, aromatized gasoline fraction, alkylated gasoline fraction, and quasi-alkylated gasoline fraction are blended to obtain the final clean gasoline. CN109694743A describes a process where the light gasoline fraction from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis wax cracking is hydroisomerized to obtain an isomerized gasoline fraction. The rich gas is separated to obtain isobutane, n-butene, and isobutene. The isobutane and n-butene are then alkylated to obtain an alkylated gasoline fraction. The obtained isobutene undergoes selective smothering-hydrogenation to obtain a near-alkylated gasoline fraction. The resulting heavy gasoline fraction, isomerized gasoline fraction, alkylated gasoline fraction, and near-alkylated gasoline fraction are blended to obtain the final clean gasoline. These three methods can produce clean gasoline meeting the China VI standard, with an olefin content of less than 15v%, an aromatic content of less than 35v%, a sulfur content of less than 10μg / g, and a research octane number of 91.0-94.5. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis wax cracking reaction is carried out in a riser reactor. The active components of the cracking catalyst are rare earth-modified Y-type molecular sieve and ZSM-5 molecular sieve, with a mass ratio of (4-9):1. This series of methods can achieve a total gasoline yield between 70.0% and 84.18%, but it requires the integration of multiple gasoline processing technologies, and the octane ratings of the integrated blended gasoline are all below 95. If a higher octane rating is desired in the single-pass conversion, the proportion of high-octane components needs to be increased, which inevitably reduces the proportion of low-octane components and lowers the total gasoline yield. Therefore, how to simultaneously achieve a high gasoline yield and a high octane rating greater than 95 in a single-pass conversion remains an unsolved technical challenge in this field.
[0007] CN109762597A discloses a method for preparing gasoline blending components from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis oil phase products. This method involves atomizing the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis oil phase products and first reacting them with a low-activity catalyst in the lower part of the reactor for cracking, followed by an aromatization reaction with a high-activity catalyst in the upper part of the reactor. The resulting reaction products are then separated into oil and catalyst, and the oil phase is collected and fractionated to obtain the gasoline blending components. This method can increase the octane number (RON) of the product gasoline to above 95 by controlling the depth of the cracking reaction and the aromatization reaction of the olefin intermediates. However, the gasoline yield from a single-pass conversion of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis oil is below 57.9%.
[0008] Based on the published patents, methanol-to-gasoline technology has a low gasoline yield, and the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology for producing gasoline also follows the traditional petroleum refining approach of catalytic cracking to produce gasoline, mainly using riser or fluidized bed reaction processes. However, it suffers from problems such as low single-pass gasoline yield, low product gasoline octane number, or the need to integrate other gasoline processing processes to ensure the gasoline octane number. The resulting blended clean gasoline is difficult to achieve both high gasoline yield and a high octane number greater than 95 at the same time. Summary of the Invention
[0009] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a method and apparatus for generating ultra-clean gasoline by coupling Fischer-Tropsch synthetic petroleum products with methanol. The method involves coupling the cracking and aromatization reactions of Fischer-Tropsch synthetic petroleum products with methanol. The resulting light gasoline rich in tertiary olefins and C4 components are then etherified with methanol. The resulting liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) undergoes alkylation. Finally, the cracked and aromatized heavy gasoline fraction, the etherified light gasoline fraction, methyl tert-butyl ether, and the alkylated gasoline fraction are directly blended to obtain the final clean gasoline product. The gasoline product obtained by the method according to the present invention meets the clean gasoline standard, with a total gasoline yield of over 83% and an octane number greater than 95. Compared with conventional petroleum-based commercially available gasoline, the gasoline obtained by this method has a higher octane number, lower sulfur content, lower aromatic content, and significantly reduced exhaust emissions in engines, exhibiting superior clean performance.

The second cracking aromatization reaction unit is used to reprocess the cracked aromatized heavy oil produced by the oil and gas fractionation unit and then further feed it into the first cracking aromatization reaction unit.
[0091] The following combination Figure 1 The present invention will be further described below.
[0092] like Figure 1 As shown, Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil feed 1, preheated to a suitable temperature, and methanol 2, with a weight ratio of 0.05–0.5 to the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil, first enter the cracking aromatization unit reactor A, at a temperature of 350–550 °C and a weight hourly space velocity of 0.5–200 h⁻¹. -1 Under pressures of 0.01-1.00 MPa, cracking aromatization product 3 is obtained. Cracking aromatization product 3 is separated in oil-gas fractionation unit E to obtain cracking aromatization gaseous product 5 (i.e., rich gas product), cracking aromatization light gasoline fraction 6 (i.e., light gasoline fraction), cracking aromatization heavy gasoline fraction 7 (i.e., heavy gasoline fraction), cracking aromatization diesel fraction 8 (i.e., diesel fraction), and cracking aromatization heavy oil 9 (i.e., heavy oil fraction as slurry). Cracking aromatization gaseous product 5 and Fischer-Tropsch liquefied petroleum gas 4 are then separated in gas separation unit G to obtain dry gas 10, propylene 11, propane 12, and C4 component 13.
[0093] After being mixed with methanol 2, the cracked aromatized light gasoline 6 is introduced into the light gasoline etherification unit F, and the mixture is heated at a temperature of 30–100°C and a heavy hourly space velocity of 0.5–5 h⁻¹. -1 Pre-etherification was carried out under conditions of pressure 0.5-2 MPa and oil-to-ethanol ratio (V / V) 5-15. The pre-etherified product was then subjected to deep etherification by catalytic distillation to obtain etherified light gasoline 16.
[0094] After C4 component 13 is mixed with methanol 2, it enters the C4 etherification unit H, and the reaction is carried out at a temperature of 30-100℃, a pressure of 0-1.5MPa, and a liquid hourly space velocity of 0.5-5.0h. -1 The etherification reaction was completed under conditions where the alcohol-to-olefin molar ratio was 0.9-1.5, yielding methyl tert-butyl ether 15 and etherified C4 component 14.
[0095] After etherification, the C4 component and a portion of propylene are mixed and then enter alkylation unit I. Alkylation reaction is carried out at a reaction temperature of -10 to 30°C and an alkyl-to-olefin ratio of (6 to 12):1 to obtain alkylated gasoline 19 and n-butane 18. n-Butane 18 enters isomerization unit J and undergoes isomerization reaction to generate isobutane 17. Isobutane 17 is returned to alkylation unit I to generate alkylated gasoline fraction 19.
[0096] The cracked aromatized heavy gasoline fraction 7, the etherified light gasoline fraction 16, the methyl tert-butyl ether 15, and the alkylated gasoline fraction 19 are mixed and blended in gasoline pool K to obtain the final gasoline product; dry gas 10 can be used as fuel gas in the auxiliary combustion chamber C of the cracked aromatization unit; another portion of propylene 11 can be recycled into reactor A; propane 12 exits the unit as liquefied petroleum gas; and cracked aromatized slurry oil 9 can be recycled into reactor B.
[0097] Methanol conversion is a rapid and strongly exothermic reaction with a heat of reaction of approximately 1740 kJ / kg and an adiabatic temperature rise of up to 600°C. The Fischer-Tropsch heavy hydrocarbon catalytic cracking aromatization conversion process involves multiple reactions such as cracking, cyclization, and hydrogen transfer. The heat of reaction of Fischer-Tropsch wax reaches -864 kJ / kg, making it a strongly endothermic reaction process. The reaction requires a large amount of high-temperature heat carrier (catalyst) circulation. Coupled with the strongly endothermic Fischer-Tropsch heavy hydrocarbon conversion reaction and the strongly exothermic methanol conversion, heat complementarity can be achieved, improving technical and economic efficiency.
[0098] Fischer-Tropsch heavy hydrocarbon catalytic conversion follows the conventional C20-C20 model. + Mechanism, C + Formation is the main step, and the methanol-to-hydrocarbon conversion process is generally considered to follow the "hydrocarbon pool mechanism" proposed by Dahl and Kolboe et al., where Fischer-Tropsch heavy hydrocarbons are coupled with in-situ methanol conversion. For methanol conversion, it will be caused by C +The introduction of olefins into the hydrocarbon pool species through the mechanism shortens the methanol conversion induction period. For Fischer-Tropsch heavy hydrocarbon conversion, the introduction of methanol is conducive to C+ formation. Methanol molecules are first adsorbed on the Brønsted acid sites of the molecular sieve, thereby forming methoxy groups. The methoxy groups and alkanes adsorbed on the catalyst form carbocation structures, which in turn accelerates the formation of olefins and enriches the hydrocarbon pool species. The two promote each other, which can improve the feed conversion rate and change the product properties.
