Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of petrochemical industry, and particularly to a catalytic conversion method and system for producing ethylene and propylene from light hydrocarbons. Background Art

[0002] Light hydrocarbons are important intermediate products in the process of petrochemical production, mainly distributed in products such as associated gas, refinery dry gas, refinery liquefied gas, and naphtha. Among them, the fractions with 4 to 12 carbon atoms are mainly used for civil or industrial fuels, as well as for producing gasoline blending components, and a small part is used for producing chemical raw materials such as ethylene, propylene, and light aromatics. Catalytic cracking technology, as an important secondary processing method in refineries, is applied to the conversion of light hydrocarbons to produce ethylene and propylene.

[0003] For example, CN104152174A discloses a catalytic cracking method for naphtha. The method includes reacting a naphtha raw material with a catalytic cracking catalyst under catalytic cracking conditions in the presence of a promoter component, so as to improve the conversion rate of naphtha catalytic cracking and the yield of light olefins.

The light fuel oil raw material enters the riser reactor of the catalytic cracking unit to contact and react with the catalyst. After the reaction is completed, the reaction oil gas and the spent catalyst are separated, and further separated to obtain ethylene, propylene, C2-C3 alkanes, C4 hydrocarbon fractions and other products; the spent catalyst is regenerated by burning and then recycled; the catalytic cracking unit includes a regenerator (2), a riser reactor (1), a closed hood (3) outside the outlet of the riser reactor (1), and a cyclone separator (5); the outlet of the riser reactor is communicated with the inlet of the cyclone separator (5) through the outlet at the top of the closed hood (3), and the lower leg of the cyclone separator (5) is communicated with the closed hood (3); the lower part of the closed hood (3) is communicated with the regenerator (2) through a spent catalyst inclined pipe (9). A fuel inlet, such as a fuel oil and gas nozzle, is arranged in the pipeline of the spent catalyst inclined pipe (9) to spray fuel oil and / or fuel gas into the spent catalyst inclined pipe 9, and after being fully mixed with the spent catalyst, it enters the regenerator 2.

[0005] However, the yields of ethylene and propylene produced by the existing catalytic conversion methods for light fuel oil still need to be further improved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a catalytic conversion method for producing ethylene and propylene from light hydrocarbons. The catalytic conversion method comprises the following steps: S1. Contacting a light hydrocarbon raw material with a mixed catalyst containing a first catalyst and a second catalyst in a riser reactor to carry out a catalytic conversion reaction to obtain a first oil-agent mixture; the molecular sieve content of the first catalyst is less than that of the second catalyst; S2. Introducing the first oil-agent mixture into a catalyst separation device for separation to obtain a first spent catalyst and a second oil-agent mixture; S3. Separating the second oil-agent mixture into reaction oil gas and a second spent catalyst by gas-solid separation; S4. Subjecting the first spent catalyst to a first stripping and a first regeneration to obtain a first regenerated catalyst; subjecting the second spent catalyst to a second stripping and a second regeneration to obtain a second regenerated catalyst; the temperature of the first regenerated catalyst is higher than that of the second regenerated catalyst; mixing the first regenerated catalyst and the second regenerated catalyst and returning the obtained mixed regenerated catalyst to step S1 as a mixed catalyst to participate in the catalytic conversion reaction.

[0008] The present invention also provides a catalytic conversion system for producing ethylene and propylene from light hydrocarbons.

[0009] By the above technical solution, the present invention uses the first regenerated catalyst with a lower molecular sieve content and a higher temperature to transfer heat to the second regenerated catalyst with a higher molecular sieve content and a lower temperature, reducing the damage to the molecular sieve caused by local high temperature during regeneration, and at the same time increasing the temperature and catalytic activity of the mixed regenerated catalyst, thereby further increasing the yield of ethylene and propylene produced by the catalytic conversion of light hydrocarbons and also improving the service life of the catalyst.

[0025] The following provides a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and do not limit the present invention.

[0026] Refer to Figure 1, the present invention provides a catalytic conversion method for producing ethylene and propylene from light hydrocarbons. The catalytic conversion method comprises the following steps: S1. contacting a light hydrocarbon raw material with a mixed catalyst containing a first catalyst and a second catalyst in a riser reactor to carry out a catalytic conversion reaction to obtain a first oil-catalyst mixture; the molecular sieve content of the first catalyst is less than that of the second catalyst; S2. introducing the first oil-catalyst mixture into a catalyst separation device for separation to obtain a first spent catalyst and a second oil-catalyst mixture; S3. carrying out gas-solid separation on the second oil-catalyst mixture to obtain reaction oil gas and a second spent catalyst; S4. carrying out first stripping and first regeneration on the first spent catalyst to obtain a first regenerated catalyst; carrying out second stripping and second regeneration on the second spent catalyst to obtain a second regenerated catalyst; the temperature of the first regenerated catalyst is higher than that of the second regenerated catalyst; mixing the first regenerated catalyst and the second regenerated catalyst, and returning the obtained mixed regenerated catalyst to step S1 as the mixed catalyst to participate in the catalytic conversion reaction.

[0027] One of the technical difficulties in improving the yield of ethylene and propylene produced by catalytic conversion of light hydrocarbons is that: the temperature of catalytic conversion of light hydrocarbons is relatively high, so a relatively high temperature of the regenerated catalyst is required, which requires an increase in the regeneration temperature; however, an increase in the regeneration temperature will lead to an excessively high local regeneration temperature, which will cause irreversible deactivation of the molecular sieve. The present invention uses a mixed catalyst obtained by mixing a first catalyst with a lower molecular sieve content and a second catalyst with a higher molecular sieve content to participate in the reaction. After the reaction, the first catalyst and the second catalyst are separated, and then the first catalyst is regenerated at a higher temperature and the second catalyst is regenerated at a lower temperature. Subsequently, heat is transferred from the first regenerated catalyst with a lower molecular sieve content and a higher temperature to the second regenerated catalyst with a higher molecular sieve content and a lower temperature, reducing the damage to the molecular sieve caused by local high temperature during regeneration, and at the same time increasing the temperature and catalytic activity of the mixed regenerated catalyst, thereby further increasing the yield of ethylene and propylene produced by catalytic conversion of light hydrocarbons.
