Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalytic chelation, and more specifically to a non-selective chelation method for C4 olefins. Background Technology

[0002] my country has abundant C4 hydrocarbon (liquefied petroleum gas) resources. In 2016, the country's crude oil processing volume reached 541 million tons, with refineries producing approximately 17 million tons of C4 hydrocarbons as a byproduct. Cracked C4 hydrocarbons account for about one-quarter of total ethylene production, producing 4.25 million tons of C4 hydrocarbons as a byproduct. Currently, my country's total C4 hydrocarbon reserves have reached 25 million tons. C4 hydrocarbons have a wide range of applications. They can be used as fuels through aromatization, alkylation, and isomerization, and can also be used to produce various chemical products such as methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and sec-butyl acetate. MTBE, as a significant pathway for isobutylene consumption, plays a crucial role in the downstream utilization of butene-1 and butene-2. 62% of MTBE production capacity is concentrated in Asia.

[0003] The latest Chinese standard for ethanol gasoline prohibits the artificial addition of oxygen-containing organic compounds, meaning that etherified components such as MTBE can no longer be used as gasoline blending components. Therefore, with the ban on MTBE, there is an urgent need to find new chemical pathways for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and the improvement and optimization of C4 hydrocarbon conversion and utilization technologies are urgently needed.

[0004] Fully alkylation reaction (non-selective alkylation reaction) involves the reaction between isobutylene, n-butene, cis-2-butene, and trans-2-butene to produce polyolefins. Polyolefins produced by alkylation reactions have a high degree of branching and are characterized by high research octane numbers, low vapor pressures, and are free of sulfur and aromatics, making them ideal additives for clean gasoline.

[0005] Currently, there are three main industrially mature processes globally for producing petroleum products that meet international additive standards from olefin full smothermal synthesis: the SPAC process from UOP (U.S.), the non-selective MOGD smothermal synthesis process from the former Mobil (U.S.), and the Polynaphtha process from Axens (France). Among these, UOP's SPAC process is characterized by its simple process flow, readily available and inexpensive solid phosphoric acid catalysts, and long lifespan, making it one of the most widely used full smothermal processes in the world. However, with increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the drawbacks of solid phosphoric acid catalysts—such as easy sludge formation, non-renewability, and the difficulty of post-treatment due to strong acidity—have become increasingly prominent. Although researchers both domestically and internationally have conducted extensive research on solid phosphoric acid catalysts (CN1997450A, CN100496724C, CN1226095C, etc.), employing various novel phosphoric acid supports such as diatomaceous earth, silica, and activated carbon to continuously extend catalyst lifespan and catalytic activity, none of these studies have solved the problems of easy sludge formation, deactivation, and non-renewability of solid phosphoric acid catalysts. Mobil's MOGD process uses ZSM-5 molecular sieve catalysts, offering flexible reaction conditions to meet diverse market demands. However, this gas-solid reaction involves extremely high temperatures, high energy consumption, and difficult plant construction, thus limiting its large-scale adoption. Axens' Polynaphtha process uses a co-precipitation method to prepare silica-alumina catalysts. These catalysts are regenerable, have a long lifespan, and are easy to handle after deactivation. The process is also simple, requiring no modifiers. However, the co-precipitation method produces a low amount of Brønsted acid (B acid) and a low B acid / L acid ratio, requiring higher reaction temperatures and pressures. This results in significant olefin polymerization, with only about 40% selectivity for C8 olefins, limiting their application to diesel component modifiers. However, due to my country's focus on gasoline development, the market for the resulting blended diesel is limited, hindering large-scale application. Therefore, developing a novel blended gasoline process has become a research hotspot. Summary of the Invention

[0052] The contact between the aforementioned precipitant and the copper, zinc, chromium, and zirconium sources can be achieved by adding a solution containing one of these sources to the precipitant solution, or by adding the precipitant solution to a solution containing one of these sources. Alternatively, a solution containing one or more of these sources (e.g., copper, chromium, and zirconium) and a solution containing one or more of these sources (e.g., zinc, chromium, and zirconium) can be separately contacted with the precipitant solution before the contact products are mixed. In the case of separate contact, it is sufficient to ensure that the mixed solution contains the required amounts of each source.

The hydrogen-containing gas may be a mixture of hydrogen and an inert gas, wherein the hydrogen content is 5-20% by volume.

[0056] According to the present invention, in step (2), the amorphous silicon-aluminum catalyst can be an amorphous silicon-aluminum catalyst commonly used for C4 non-selective superposition, for example, it can be prepared by the following method: the silicon source and the aluminum source are subjected to a first aging at pH 8-10.5 and 40-80°C, and then the resulting aging product is washed and filtered, and the filtered solid precipitate is contacted with an acidic solution, and then filtered and dried.

[0057] Specifically, the silicon source may be selected from one or more of water glass, sodium silicate, alkaline silica sol, tetraethoxysilane, and tetramethoxysilane, and the aluminum source may be selected from one or more of aluminum nitrate, aluminum sulfate, or aluminum chloride. Furthermore, the weight ratio of the silicon source (based on silicon oxide) to the aluminum source (based on aluminum oxide) may be 1:(0.25-1), preferably 1:(0.4-0.7).

[0058] In this invention, the pH can be adjusted to the aforementioned range by adding an alkaline solution.

[0059] Preferably, the contact between the filtered solid precipitate and the acidic solution is carried out at a weight ratio of precipitate dry basis: acidic substance: H2O = 1:(0.02-0.2):(5-30), preferably 1:(0.05-0.15):(10-20). The acidic substance is the solute in the acidic solution. The contact is preferably carried out at 20-60°C, preferably 30-50°C, for at least 0.2 hours, preferably 0.2-1 hours. The acidic solution used can be an acid or a solution of a strong acid-weak base salt, for example, one or more selected from sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, and ammonium nitrate, with a concentration of 0.01-2 mol / L, preferably 0.1-1 mol / L. Subsequent drying conditions can be, for example, 80-110°C for 1-5 hours.

[0060] According to the present invention, in step (2), the amorphous silica-alumina catalyst is modified using a copper-zinc-chromium-zirconium component. The amount of the copper-zinc-chromium-zirconium component is 1-10% by mass of the amorphous silica-alumina catalyst, preferably 3-5% by mass, thereby improving the C4 olefin conversion and C8 olefin selectivity of the obtained catalyst. Furthermore, when the product obtained in step (1) is mixed with the amorphous silica-alumina catalyst, it is preferable to stir and mix for more than 3 minutes, for example, 5-20 minutes, so that the hydrogenated pretreated copper-zinc-chromium-zirconium component is fully mixed with the amorphous silica-alumina catalyst.

[0061] According to the present invention, in step (2), the conditions for the first drying may include: a temperature of 80-150°C, preferably 95-120°C, more preferably 105-120°C; and a time of 1-6 hours, preferably 2-4 hours.

To facilitate the reaction, the modified amorphous silica-alumina catalyst used has a particle size of 20-40 mesh.

[0063] The mixed C4 used as the reaction feedstock has no particular source limitation and can be C4 byproducts of ethylene cracking units and refinery C4 components. Refinery C4 includes C4 byproducts from catalytic cracking, viscous cracking, thermal cracking, and delayed coking in refineries; C4 byproducts from aromatics reforming; C4 byproducts from coal chemical methanol-to-olefins units; and recovered C4 from oilfield gas and natural gas. The amount of saturated C4 hydrocarbons in the feedstock does not affect this method, but excessive saturated hydrocarbons will increase the reaction temperature and energy consumption. Therefore, it is preferable that the content of saturated C4 hydrocarbons in the mixed C4 is below 70% by volume.

[0064] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, the composition of the C4 olefin may include, for example, n-butane, isobutane, n-butene, isobutene, cis-butene, trans-butene, etc., and preferably the butene content (including n-butene, isobutene, cis-butene and trans-butene) in the C4 olefin is 20-80%.

[0065] Furthermore, by employing the modified amorphous silica-alumina catalyst of this invention, the non-selective fusion method of this invention can be applied to C4 fusions from coking sources. Even if the fusion feedstock has a basic nitrogen content of less than 30 ppm, it can still achieve good C4 olefin conversion and C8 olefin selectivity, and has a better catalyst activity retention effect, extending the catalyst activation interval time.

[0066] In this invention, the alkaline nitrogen content of the composite raw material can be, for example, 0 ppm, 1 ppm, 2 ppm, 5 ppm, 10 ppm, 15 ppm, 20 ppm, 25 ppm or 30 ppm.

[0067] The present invention will be described in detail below through embodiments.

[0068] In this invention, the alkaline nitrogen content is determined by the industry standard: SH / T 0162-1992 Determination of Alkaline Nitrogen in Petroleum Products; the valence distribution of copper is obtained by peak analysis using XPS Auger copper spectrometry.
