Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing chemical raw materials from crude oil, and particularly to a processing method for converting light components in crude oil into chemical raw materials through two-stage hydrocracking. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, the demand for chemical raw materials has been maintaining a relatively high growth rate and has gradually become a major driving force for the growth of crude oil demand. Therefore, producing chemical raw materials from crude oil is one of the main means for petroleum refining enterprises to transform and upgrade, improve quality and increase efficiency. As the source processing unit of modern refineries, the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit first separates crude oil according to different boiling points, and the obtained products are then subjected to secondary processing. As the most important means for producing chemical raw materials, how to achieve an efficient combination with the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit has become the key for refining enterprises to reduce consumption and increase efficiency.

[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 prepare a first hydrocracking product stream; b) separating the first hydrocracking product stream to provide at least one light hydrocarbon stream containing at least C2 and C3 hydrocarbons, an intermediate hydrocarbon stream composed of C4 and / or C5 hydrocarbons, and a heavy hydrocarbon stream containing at least C6+ hydrocarbons, and c) subjecting the heavy hydrocarbon stream to a second hydrocracking in the presence of a second hydrocracking catalyst to prepare a second hydrocracking product stream containing BTX, wherein the second hydrocracking is more severe than the first hydrocracking, d) wherein, in the presence of a C4 hydrocracking catalyst, at least part of the intermediate hydrocarbon stream is subjected to C4 hydrocracking to prepare 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 a hydrocarbon raw material, comprising the following steps: (a) feeding the hydrocarbon raw material 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 in step (c) into an overhead stream containing hydrogen, methane, ethane and liquefied petroleum gas and a stream containing 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.

[0053] Petroleum hydrocarbon compositions are complex and mainly contain paraffins, naphthenes and aromatics, while high-quality ethylene raw materials are small-molecule normal paraffins, and reforming raw materials are monocyclic naphthenes and aromatics. The inventors have found through research that the overhead oil raw material of the atmospheric column can pass through the shape-selective cracking of straight-chain paraffins and the selective hydrocracking of long side chains on isoparaffins or cyclic hydrocarbons in sequence to retain monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons as much as possible, and can highly selectively generate small-molecule normal paraffins, thereby realizing the efficient enrichment of small-molecule normal paraffins in ethylene raw materials, and at the same time retaining monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons in reforming raw materials as much as possible to realize the efficient enrichment of high-quality reforming raw materials. In this way, the purpose of greatly improving the yield and quality of chemical raw materials can be achieved, and thus the present invention is completed.

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0055] (1) Reforming belongs to cyclization dehydrogenation reaction, which will not change the carbon number of hydrocarbons with different molecular structures in the feedstock. By controlling the carbon number distribution of hydrocarbons in the feedstock, the C9 + aromatic hydrocarbon yield in the reformed product oil can be reduced, and the generation of low-value-added products can be decreased. In the prior art, when producing catalytic reforming feedstock, in order to reduce the C9 + content of cyclic hydrocarbons, the final boiling point of the heavy naphtha obtained by atmospheric separation is generally not higher than 180 °C. In the method for producing chemical raw materials from crude oil of the present invention, by controlling the mass content of bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the overhead oil of the atmospheric column to be not higher than 1%, the C9 + content of cyclic hydrocarbons, especially the C9 + content of monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons, is increased, while preventing bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with higher hydrogenation difficulty from entering the feedstock. Then, through hydrocracking, the C9 + cyclic hydrocarbons are converted into C6 - C9 cyclic hydrocarbons, the final boiling point of the reforming feedstock is increased, and the distillation range of the reforming feedstock is broadened. As is well known, in crude oil, as the distillation range increases, the content of cyclic hydrocarbons also increases. Increasing the final boiling point of the reforming feedstock can not only increase the source of the reforming feedstock, but also increase the yield of C6 - C9 light aromatic hydrocarbons in the catalytic reforming unit, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of the reforming unit. Specifically, the overhead oil of the atmospheric column obtained by atmospheric distillation of crude oil is contacted and reacted with a shape-selective cracking catalyst containing macroporous alumina, which can effectively remove impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen in the reactants, and at the same time selectively crack the straight-chain paraffins and the long straight chains of isoparaffins and naphthenes in the feedstock to generate small-molecule normal paraffins, and control the mass content of C7 + normal paraffins in the reaction effluent to be 0.1% - 5%; then it is contacted and reacted with an isomer hydrocarbon conversion catalyst to selectively crack the isomer side chains on the isoparaffins and cyclic hydrocarbons, and retain the monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons. In this way, a large amount of the straight-chain alkanes in the feedstock can be converted into gas and light naphtha components, that is, enriched in the ethylene feedstock, while the monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons are retained in the heavy naphtha fraction, that is, enriched in the reforming feedstock. Through simple fractionation, the efficient separation of alkanes and cyclic hydrocarbons can be realized, increasing high-quality ethylene cracking raw materials while improving the quality of heavy naphtha as the feed for catalytic reforming.

[0056] (2) The content of monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons in the heavy naphtha obtained by the method of the present invention is high. As the feed for the catalytic reforming unit, it can eliminate the alkane cyclization and dehydrogenation unit in the catalytic reforming unit, and can greatly reduce 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, it can selectively carry out the side-chain breaking reaction on cyclic hydrocarbons with more than C9, so that the C6 - C8 cyclic hydrocarbons in the product have a high enrichment degree, and the BTX yield can be greatly increased after catalytic reforming and aromatics extraction.

[0057] (3) The present invention selectively converts the alkanes in the overhead oil of the atmospheric distillation column into small - molecule alkanes. This process consumes a certain amount of hydrogen. However, as a raw material for the ethylene plant, the light hydrocarbons also have a high hydrogen production rate, and the lower the carbon number, the higher the hydrogen production rate. Therefore, most of the hydrogen consumed in the hydrogenation process can be recovered after passing through the ethylene plant. At the same time, as a raw material for ethylene, the light hydrocarbons can significantly increase the yields of ethylene, propylene, and butadiene, and extend the cleaning cycle of the ethylene plant, significantly improving the economic benefits of the plant.
