Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of wax oil hydrocracking, and specifically relates to a method for producing chemical raw materials through two-stage hydrocracking of wax oil. Background Art
[0002] Using light hydrocarbons as feedstock for steam cracking to ethylene plants offers significant advantages over liquid feedstocks, including high hydrogen yields, low feedstock costs, high ethylene selectivity, and low yields of difficult-to-process, low-value-added products such as naphtha and ethylene tar. Therefore, further optimizing the feedstock mix, exploring the potential for integrated efficiency gains, and increasing the proportion of light and low-grade feedstocks in ethylene cracking feeds remain key tasks for steam cracking to reduce olefin production costs.
[0003] CN201580070326.4 discloses a method for preparing LPG and BTX, comprising: a) subjecting a mixed hydrocarbon stream to a first hydrocracking in the presence of a first hydrocracking catalyst to produce a first hydrocracked product stream; b) separating the first hydrocracked product stream to provide at least one light hydrocarbon stream comprising at least C2 and C3 hydrocarbons, an intermediate hydrocarbon stream consisting of C4 and / or C5 hydrocarbons, and a heavy hydrocarbon stream comprising at least C6+ hydrocarbons, and c) subjecting the heavy hydrocarbon stream to a second hydrocracking in the presence of a second hydrocracking catalyst to produce a second hydrocracked product stream comprising BTX, wherein the second hydrocracking is more severe than the first hydrocracking, d) wherein, in the presence of a C4 hydrocracking catalyst, at least a portion of the intermediate hydrocarbon stream is subjected to C4 hydrocracking to produce a C4 hydrocracking product stream, and the C4 hydrocracking is optimized for converting C4 hydrocarbons into C3 hydrocarbons.
[0004] CN201480037272.7 discloses a method for producing light olefin hydrocarbon compounds from hydrocarbon feedstocks, comprising the following steps: (a) feeding the hydrocarbon feedstock to a reaction zone for ring opening; (b) separating the reaction product produced by the reaction zone into an overhead stream and a side stream; (c) feeding the side stream from (b) to a gasoline hydrocracker (GHC) unit; (d) separating the reaction product of the GHC of step (c) into an overhead stream comprising hydrogen, methane, ethane and liquefied petroleum gas and a stream comprising aromatic hydrocarbon compounds and a small amount of hydrogen and non-aromatic hydrocarbon compounds; (e) feeding the overhead stream from the gasoline hydrocracker (GHC) unit to a steam cracker unit.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0044] (1) In the hydrocracking method for producing chemical raw materials from wax oil of the present invention, the wax oil raw material and hydrogen enter the first hydrocracking reaction zone, selectively cracking polycyclic hydrocarbons to convert more of them into monocyclic hydrocarbons while retaining the side chains on the cyclic hydrocarbons; the effluent from the first hydrocracking reaction enters the second hydrocracking reaction zone, which mainly selectively cracks the normal alkanes and the long straight-chain isoalkanes and cycloalkanes in the raw material to produce small molecular normal alkanes, so that the C7 + The content of normal alkanes is below 2%. The effluent from the second hydrocracking reaction enters the third hydrocracking reaction zone, which mainly breaks the side chains of each hydrocarbon to generate small-molecule hydrocarbons. In this way, a large amount of chain alkanes in the feedstock can be converted into gas and light naphtha components, that is, they are enriched in the ethylene feedstock, while the monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons are retained in the heavy naphtha fraction, that is, they are enriched in the reforming feedstock. Through simple distillation, efficient separation of chain alkanes and cyclic hydrocarbons can be achieved, thereby increasing the production of high-quality ethylene cracking feed and improving the quality of heavy naphtha as catalytic reforming feed.
[0045] Petroleum hydrocarbons are complex, primarily comprising paraffins, cycloalkanes, and aromatics. High-quality ethylene feedstocks are small-molecule normal alkanes, while reforming feedstocks are monocyclic cycloalkanes and aromatics. The inventors discovered through research that the technical solution of the present invention can maximize the retention of monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons and produce small-molecule normal alkanes with high selectivity, thereby achieving efficient enrichment of small-molecule normal alkanes in light olefin feedstocks. Simultaneously, it maximizes the retention of monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons in heavy naphtha, thereby achieving efficient enrichment of high-quality reforming feedstocks. This significantly improves the yield and quality of chemical feedstocks (i.e., ethylene feedstock and reforming feedstock), thereby completing the present invention.
[0046] (2) The heavy naphtha obtained by the method of the present invention has a high content of monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons. When used as feed for a catalytic reforming unit, the cyclization and dehydrogenation units of the paraffins in the catalytic reforming unit can be eliminated, thereby significantly reducing the investment and energy consumption of the catalytic reforming unit. At the same time, since the hydrocracking reaction follows the positive carbon ion reaction mechanism, the cyclic hydrocarbons above C9 can be selectively subjected to side chain scission reactions, so that the C6-C8 cyclic hydrocarbons in the product have a high enrichment degree. After catalytic reforming and aromatics extraction, the BTX yield can be significantly increased.
[0047] (3) The present invention selectively converts the chain alkanes in the wax oil into small molecular alkanes. This process consumes a certain amount of hydrogen, but the hydrogen yield of light hydrocarbons as raw materials for ethylene plants is also high. The lower the carbon number, the higher the hydrogen yield. Therefore, most of the hydrogen consumed in the hydrogenation process can be recovered after passing through the ethylene plant. At the same time, light hydrocarbons as ethylene raw materials can greatly increase the yields of ethylene, propylene and butadiene, and extend the rubber cleaning cycle of the ethylene plant, significantly improving the economic benefits of the plant.
