Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of heavy oil processing, and particularly relates to a method for jointly producing chemical raw materials by delayed coking and hydrocracking, especially a processing method for producing high-quality chemical raw materials from vacuum residue as the raw material. Background Art
[0002] Reducing the production of heavy fuel oil is the development trend of the world's refining industry today. Although the current capacity of catalytic cracking for single refining and blending residue oil has accounted for more than 25% of the total catalytic cracking capacity, not all residue oils can be processed by catalytic cracking. If the carbon residue content of the residue oil exceeds 10% and the metal content exceeds 100 - 150 ppm, the residue oil hydrotreating / catalytic cracking combined unit will also have difficulty bearing the increasingly high catalyst cost and the increasingly long shutdown time. Coupled with the growing demand for light oil products, the widening price difference between light crude oil and heavy high-sulfur crude oil, and the increasing proportion of heavy sulfur-containing / high-sulfur crude oil supply, especially since delayed coking can process cheap heavy high-sulfur high-metal residue oil, and coker gasoline can be used as a raw material for ethylene production after hydrogenation, delayed coking has thus become the most popular technology for residue oil processing and the preferred residue oil processing scheme for many refineries.
[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 generated from 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.
[0005] In summary, petroleum hydrocarbons have a complex composition, mainly including alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics. Among them, alkanes, especially small-molecule alkanes, are high-quality ethylene raw materials, while cycloalkanes and aromatics are high-quality reforming feeds. Delayed coking causes heavy raw materials to undergo thermal cracking, following the free radical reaction mechanism. The products have a high content of n-paraffins and cyclic hydrocarbons. In the existing technology, it is impossible to efficiently achieve the conversion effect of "ethylene for ethylene and aromatics for aromatics" for coker distillate oil. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a processing method suitable for producing high-quality chemical raw materials from heavy oils such as vacuum residue through delayed coking and hydrocracking.

[0049] Petroleum hydrocarbons have a complex composition, mainly including alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics, while high-quality ethylene raw materials are small-molecule n-alkanes, and reforming raw materials are monocyclic cycloalkanes and aromatics. The inventors have found through research that the coker light distillate oil raw material can pass through the shape-selective cracking of straight-chain alkanes, the ring-opening cracking of polycyclic cyclic hydrocarbons, 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 selectively generate small-molecule n-alkanes, so as to efficiently enrich small-molecule n-alkanes in low-carbon olefin raw materials, and at the same time retain monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons in heavy naphtha as much as possible to achieve efficient enrichment of high-quality reforming raw materials, so as to achieve the purpose of greatly improving the yields of chemical raw materials (i.e., low-carbon olefin raw materials and reforming raw materials) and the qualities of low-carbon olefin raw materials and reforming raw materials, thereby completing the present invention.
[0050] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0051] (1) In the prior art, when hydrocracking coker diesel as a raw material to produce chemical raw materials, the final boiling point of the coker diesel fractionated from the coker distillate is generally 350-380 °C. This also results in a relatively high content of tricyclic aromatics in the coker diesel fraction, and a relatively high reaction pressure is required to achieve the hydrocracking of tricyclic aromatics. However, a relatively high reaction pressure will also cause some monocyclic aromatics to open-ring crack during the hydrocracking process, resulting in the loss of aromatics. In the method for jointly producing chemical raw materials by coking and hydrocracking in the present invention, after the coker distillate oil enters the fractionating tower, by controlling the content of tricyclic aromatics in the top oil of the fractionating tower to be no higher than 1%, and selecting an appropriate reaction pressure, the mixed processing of monocyclic aromatics and bicyclic aromatics is realized, the loss of aromatics in the hydrogenation process of the raw materials is reduced, and the aromatic content in the hydrogenation product is increased. Specifically, the obtained light coker distillate oil is mixed with hydrogen and enters the first hydrocracking reaction zone, mainly selectively cracking the n-paraffins in the raw materials and the long straight chains of isoparaffins and naphthenes containing long straight chains to generate small molecule n-paraffins, so that the content of C7 + n-paraffins in the effluent of the first hydrocracking reaction is 0.1%-5.0%. The effluent of the first hydrocracking reaction enters the second hydrocracking reaction zone, mainly to open-ring crack the polycyclic cyclic hydrocarbons and retain the monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons and further break the side chains in each hydrocarbon to generate small molecule hydrocarbons. In this way, a large amount of the linear alkanes in the raw materials can be converted into gas and light naphtha components, that is, enriched in ethylene raw materials, while the monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons are retained in the heavy naphtha fraction, that is, enriched in reforming raw materials. Through simple fractionation, the efficient separation of linear alkanes and cyclic hydrocarbons can be realized, increasing the production of high-quality ethylene cracking feedstock while improving the quality of heavy naphtha as a catalytic reforming feedstock.
[0052] (2) The content of monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons in the heavy naphtha obtained by the method of the present invention is high. As the feedstock for the catalytic reforming unit, the alkane cyclization and dehydrogenation unit in the catalytic reforming unit can be cancelled, which can greatly reduce the investment and energy consumption of the catalytic reforming unit; at the same time, since the hydrocracking reaction follows the carbocation reaction mechanism, the side chains of cyclic hydrocarbons above C9 can be selectively cracked, so that the C6-C8 cyclic hydrocarbons in the product have a relatively high enrichment degree. After catalytic reforming and aromatics extraction, the BTX yield can be greatly increased.
[0053] (3) The present invention selectively converts the linear alkanes in the light coker distillate oil into small molecule alkanes. This process will consume a certain amount of hydrogen, but the light hydrocarbons also have a high hydrogen yield as the raw material for the ethylene unit, and 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 unit. At the same time, the light hydrocarbons as ethylene raw materials can greatly increase the yields of ethylene, propylene and butadiene, and extend the cleaning cycle of the ethylene unit, significantly improving the economic benefits of the unit.
