Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal tar hydrogenation technology, specifically to a method for producing aviation kerosene by stepwise hydrogenation of medium- and low-temperature coal tar. Background Technology
[0002] Medium- and low-temperature coal tar is an important byproduct produced during coal coking and gasification, and its production has been increasing with the development of the coking industry and coal chemical industry. Medium- and low-temperature coal tar contains abundant aromatic hydrocarbons, cycloalkanes, and some oxygen-containing compounds. These compounds have high energy density and good combustion performance, making them important raw materials for the preparation of high-quality fuel oil.
[0003] Hydrogenation technology is an effective method for upgrading coal tar. Through hydrogenation, impurities and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be removed from coal tar, improving its physicochemical properties and increasing its added value. Hydrogenated medium- and low-temperature coal tar exhibits significantly reduced sulfur content, improved viscosity, and enhanced stability, fully meeting the requirements for feedstock in aviation kerosene. Therefore, converting medium- and low-temperature coal tar into aviation kerosene through hydrogenation technology not only achieves efficient utilization of coal tar but also meets the demand of the aviation kerosene market for high-quality fuel.
[0004] CN10864174913B discloses a hydrogenation combined process for producing high-quality fuels from medium- and low-temperature coal tar. The medium- and low-temperature coal tar is distilled through a hydrothermal cracking unit, a first atmospheric distillation unit, a hydrorefining unit, a vacuum distillation unit, a diesel and wax oil hydromodification unit, a wax oil hydrocracking unit, a gasoline and diesel precious metal hydrogenation unit, and a fourth atmospheric distillation unit to obtain the final product.
[0005] The aforementioned patent has the following problems: First, the entire fraction of medium- and low-temperature coal tar is not pre-separated, and the light components in the medium- and low-temperature coal tar directly enter the hydrocracking unit, resulting in excessive cracking of the light components in the reactor, generating a large amount of gas and reducing the yield of liquid products. Second, the light and heavy components in the entire fraction of medium- and low-temperature coal tar have significant differences in properties. During the reaction, the light components are prone to cracking, while the heavy components are prone to condensation, leading to phase separation during the reaction. This further promotes the condensation and coking of the heavy components, clogging the reactor bed and reducing the operating cycle of the unit. Third, the medium- and low-temperature coal tar, especially the heavy components, only undergoes one hydrocracking reaction, resulting in limited improvement in the yield of liquid products. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a method for producing aviation kerosene by stepwise hydrogenation of medium and low temperature coal tar. This method can reduce the gas yield in the reaction process, increase the liquid product yield, reduce the risk of coking in the equipment, and extend the operating cycle of the equipment.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0008] A method for producing aviation kerosene by stepwise hydrogenation of medium- and low-temperature coal tar includes the following steps;
[0009] a) The raw materials are initially separated in the feed gas-liquid separator S8. The light components at the top of the feed gas-liquid separator S8 enter the first-stage gas-liquid separator S1, and the bottom products enter the feed tank V1. The anthracene oil fraction at 300℃-350℃ is separated from the side stream of the feed gas-liquid separator S8 and enters the second-stage hydrocracking reactor R2 as a hydrogen supply solvent.
[0010] After the medium- and low-temperature coal tar heavy components (bottom product of S8), catalyst, additives, and sulfur supplement are fully mixed in the feed tank V1, they are pressurized by the first-stage high-pressure feed pump P1 and heated by the first-stage feed heater H1, and then mixed with fresh hydrogen and recycled hydrogen. The mixture enters from the bottom of the first-stage hydrocracking reactor R1 and undergoes a series of chemical reactions under the action of catalyst and hydrogen.
[0011] b) The top product of the first-stage hydrocracking reactor R1 enters the first-stage gas-liquid separator S1, where the product is initially separated into gaseous and liquid components. The gaseous components are mixed with other light components and then enter the second-stage gas-liquid separator S5. The liquid components are mixed with the hydrogen supply solvent B9, pressurized by the second-stage high-pressure feed pump P2, heated by the second-stage feed heater H2, and then mixed with recycled hydrogen and fresh hydrogen. The mixture then enters the reactor from the bottom of the second-stage hydrocracking reactor R2 for further hydrocracking reaction.
[0012] c) The top product of the secondary hydrocracking reactor R2 enters the hot high-pressure separator S2 for preliminary gas-liquid separation. The gaseous component is mixed with other light components and then enters the secondary gas-liquid separator S5. The liquid component enters the hot low-pressure separator S3 for further separation into gaseous and liquid components. The gaseous component is mixed with other light components and then enters the secondary gas-liquid separator S5. The liquid component enters the buffer tank V2.
[0013] d) The material in buffer tank V2 is heated by vacuum furnace H3 and then enters vacuum tower S4. The first and second vacuum lines are mixed with other light components and then enter the secondary gas-liquid separator S5. The third vacuum line is completely returned to raw material tank V1. Part of the bottom oil is returned to raw material tank V1 and part is thrown out as solid fuel B8.
[0014] e) The gas components in the secondary gas-liquid separator S5 are mixed with the gas at the top of the atmospheric pressure tower S6 and then enter the tertiary gas-liquid separator S7; the liquid components in the secondary gas-liquid separator S5 are mixed with fresh hydrogen and recycled hydrogen, pressurized by the tertiary high-pressure feed pump P3, heated by the tertiary feed heater H4, and then enter the fixed bed hydrogenation reactor R3 from the top.
[0015] f) The liquid component in the three-stage gas-liquid separator S7 is discharged as light hydrocarbon component B6; part of the gas component in the three-stage gas-liquid separator S7 is discharged as hydrogen B5, and part is compressed by the circulating hydrogen compressor C1 and returned as a hydrogen source for the first-stage hydrocracking reactor R1, the second-stage hydrocracking reactor R2, the fixed-bed hydrocracking reactor R3 and the jet fuel hydrocracking reactor R4.
[0016] g) The bottom product of the fixed bed hydrogenation reactor R3 enters the atmospheric tower S6, the top gas of the atmospheric tower enters the three-stage gas-liquid separator S7, the first atmospheric tower line is used as the naphtha fraction B2 exit unit, the third atmospheric tower line is used as the diesel fraction B3 exit unit, the fourth atmospheric tower line is used as the wax oil fraction B4 exit unit, and the atmospheric residue oil at the bottom of the atmospheric tower S6 is returned to the feed tank V1.
[0017] h) The atmospheric distillation column S6 contains aviation kerosene fraction. After being mixed with new hydrogen and recycled hydrogen, it is pressurized by the four-stage high-pressure feed pump P4 and heated by the four-stage feed heater H5 before entering the aviation kerosene hydrogenation reactor R4 from the top. The product is discharged from the bottom as aviation kerosene B7.
[0018] The primary hydrocracking reactor R1 and the secondary hydrocracking reactor R2 are suspended bed reactors, both with an empty barrel structure and no internal components. This design minimizes the flow resistance and dead zones within the reactor, reducing the risk of coking. At the same time, this empty barrel structure design ensures the uniformity and stability of the temperature and flow fields throughout the reactor, avoiding localized overheating and coking.
[0019] Preferably, the operating conditions for the primary hydrocracking reactor R1 are: reaction temperature 450℃-465℃, reaction pressure 16MPa-22MPa, and space velocity 0.3h. -1 -0.8h -1 The hydrogen-to-oil ratio is 500 NL / kg-1500 NL / kg; the operating conditions of the secondary hydrocracking reactor R2 are: reaction temperature 460℃-470℃, reaction pressure 16MPa-22MPa, and space velocity 0.3h / kg. -1 -0.8h -1 Hydrogen-to-oil ratio: 1000 NL / kg - 1500 NL / kg;
[0020] Experimental studies have shown that setting these reaction conditions in the primary hydrocracking reactor can reduce gas yield and coke production while ensuring the conversion efficiency of medium- and low-temperature coal tar. The reaction conditions in the secondary hydrocracking reactor are even more stringent than those in the primary hydrocracking reactor, mainly in terms of reaction temperature, reaction pressure, and hydrogen-to-oil ratio. This is primarily because the feed to the secondary hydrocracking reactor consists of components that were not converted in the primary hydrocracking reactor, making conversion more difficult under conventional conditions. Therefore, the reaction conditions are more stringent, and the addition of hydrogen-supplying solvent further promotes conversion.
[0021] This invention designs two-stage hydrocracking reactors R1 and R2, and sets up a primary gas-liquid separator S1, a secondary high-pressure feed pump P2, and a secondary feed heater H2 between the primary hydrocracking reactor R1 and the secondary hydrocracking reactor R2, while simultaneously supplementing with hydrogen-supplying solvent B9. It has the following two advantages: First, the primary gas-liquid separator S1 separates a large amount of light components produced in the primary hydrocracking reactor R1, avoiding excessive cracking of light components and increasing gas yield. Simultaneously, separating the light components significantly reduces their encroachment on the effective volume of the secondary hydrocracking reactor R2, increasing the actual space velocity. Second, the liquid phase product at the outlet of the primary hydrocracking reactor R1 is a difficult-to-crack product, requiring further increases in the severity of reaction conditions. Therefore, by adding hydrogen-supplying solvent B9, secondary high-pressure feed pump P2, and secondary feed heater H2 at the inlet of the secondary hydrocracking reactor to supplement hydrogen, the degree of cracking of heavy components is further improved, increasing the yield of light oil products.
[0022] The hydrogen-donating solvent B9 is a component rich in aromatic rings and cycloalkane ring structures, including but not limited to anthracene oil, tetrahydronaphthalene, tetrahydrophenanthrene, or mixtures thereof in different proportions, which promotes the lightening reaction in the secondary hydrocracking reactor R2. The amount of hydrogen-donating solvent replenished is 0-25% based on the mass ratio of coal tar feedstock.
[0023] In step a), the raw material is medium-low temperature coal tar, and the catalysts in the primary hydrocracking reactor and the secondary hydrocracking reactor are carbon-supported Fe-based dispersed catalysts with a particle size of less than 75 μm.
[0024] Preferably, to further improve the reaction activity and light oil yield, the catalyst is loaded with 5%-30% Fe, 2%-10% Ni, and 2%-10% Mo by mass ratio.
[0025] In step c), a buffer tank V2 is installed after the hot high-pressure separator S3. The hot high-pressure separator S3 is an intermittent discharge mode. In order to ensure the stable material flow of the fixed bed hydrogenation reactor and the stable operation of the device, a buffer tank is installed at the inlet of the fixed bed hydrogenation reactor.
[0026] In step d), the proportion of the bottom oil from the pressure reducing tower S4 returned to the raw material tank V1 is 0-1, and the proportion of the top gas from the three-stage gas-liquid separator S7 returned as circulating hydrogen is 0-1. The circulating hydrogen is rich in hydrogen and can serve as an important source of hydrogen during the reaction process. At the same time, the circulating hydrogen contains some hydrogen sulfide gas, which is beneficial to the sulfidation of the catalyst during the reaction process.
[0027] In step e), the main purpose of the fixed-bed reactor R3 is to remove impurities from the raw materials. The reactor contains multiple catalyst beds, namely a protective agent, a demetallizing and decarbonizing agent, and a desulfurizing, denitrifying, and deoxidizing agent. The catalyst uses Al2O3 as a support and is loaded with active metals such as Ni, Mo, and W, which have excellent hydrogenation activity. The reaction temperature of the fixed-bed reactor R3 is 350℃-420℃, the reaction pressure is 6MPa-16 MPa, and the space velocity is 0.8h. -1 -3.0h -1 Hydrogen-to-oil ratio: 300 NL / kg - 1200 NL / kg;
[0028] Preferably, the catalyst has a Ni loading of 2%-10%, a Mo loading of 2%-10%, and a W loading of 2%-10% to remove impurities from the raw materials, mainly residual carbon, metals, S, N, O and other heteroatoms.
[0029] In step f), the main purpose of the jet fuel hydrogenation reactor R4 is to perform reactions such as hydroisomerization, selective hydrogenation saturation of aromatics, and selective hydrogenation ring-opening on jet fuel fractions. The catalyst uses Al₂O₃ as a support, loaded with active metals such as Pd, Ni, Mo, and W, which have excellent hydrogenation activity. The reaction temperature of the jet fuel hydrogenation reactor R4 is 350℃-420℃, the reaction pressure is 6MPa-16MPa, and the space velocity is 0.8h⁻¹. -1 -3.0h -1 Hydrogen-to-oil ratio: 300 NL / kg - 1200 NL / kg;
[0030] Preferably, the catalyst has a Ni loading of 2%-10%, a Mo loading of 2%-10%, a W loading of 2%-10%, and a Pd loading of 2%-10%; it performs hydroisomerization, selective aromatic hydrogenation saturation, and selective hydrogenation ring-opening reactions on the jet fuel fraction to maximize the production of jet fuel components.
[0031] In step g), gasoline and diesel fractions are co-produced in atmospheric tower S6 via atmospheric line 1 and atmospheric line 3.
[0032] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0033] This invention reduces the gas yield during the reaction process, increases the liquid product yield, reduces the risk of coking in the equipment, and extends the operating cycle of the equipment.
[0034] This invention employs a combined process of pre-fractionation, suspended bed, and fixed bed. After initial separation in the feed gas-liquid separator S8, the top light fraction enters the subsequent separation system, while the side-stream anthracene oil fraction enters the secondary hydrocracking reactor R2 as a hydrogen-supplying solvent. The bottom heavy fraction enters the feed tank V1 as the feedstock for the primary hydrocracking reactor R1. The suspended bed hydrocracking process consists of two reactors. The product from the primary hydrocracking reactor R1, after initial gas-liquid separation, enters the secondary hydrocracking reactor R2 for deep hydrocracking. The inlet of the secondary hydrocracking reactor R2 is supplemented with anthracene oil separated from the feedstock and externally added hydrogen-supplying solvent to promote the hydrocracking of heavy components. Simultaneously, a pressure pump and a heater are added at the reactor inlet to increase reaction pressure and temperature, improve conversion rate, and increase liquid product yield. The fixed bed hydrocracking process consists of two reactors: a fixed bed hydrorefining reactor and a jet fuel hydrocracking reactor, maximizing jet fuel production while simultaneously producing gasoline and diesel as byproducts. This combined process can reduce the gas yield during the reaction, increase the liquid product yield, reduce the risk of coking in the unit, and extend the unit's operating cycle.
