Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of heavy oil processing, and particularly relates to a method for combined production of 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 of residue has accounted for more than 25% of the total capacity of catalytic cracking, not all residues can be processed by catalytic cracking. If the carbon residue content of the residue exceeds 10% and the metal content exceeds 100 - 150 ppm, the residue 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 residues, and coker gasoline can be used as a raw material for ethylene production by hydrogenation after cracking, delayed coking has thus become the most popular technology for residue processing and the preferred residue 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 thermal cracking of heavy raw materials, following the free radical reaction mechanism. The products have a high content of normal hydrocarbons and cyclic hydrocarbons. In the prior art, 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. Summary of the Invention

[0043] Petroleum hydrocarbon compositions are complex and mainly contain paraffins, naphthenes and aromatics, while high-quality ethylene feedstocks are small-molecule normal paraffins, and reforming feedstocks are monocyclic naphthenes and aromatics. The inventors have found through research that the technical solution of the present invention can highly selectively generate small-molecule normal paraffins, thereby realizing the efficient enrichment of small-molecule normal paraffins in ethylene feedstocks, and at the same time retaining monocyclic hydrocarbons in heavy naphtha as much as possible to achieve the efficient enrichment of high-quality reforming feedstocks, so as to achieve the purpose of greatly improving the yields of chemical feedstocks (i.e., ethylene feedstocks and reforming feedstocks) and the quality of ethylene feedstocks and reforming feedstocks, and thus complete the present invention.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0045] (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 aromatic hydrocarbons in the coker diesel fraction, and a relatively high reaction pressure is required to achieve the hydrocracking of tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. However, a relatively high reaction pressure will also cause some monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to open-ring crack during the hydrocracking process, resulting in the loss of aromatic hydrocarbons. After the light coker distillate oil of the present invention enters the fractionating tower, by controlling the content of tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 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 aromatic hydrocarbons and bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is realized, reducing the loss of aromatic hydrocarbons in the raw material during the hydrogenation process and increasing the aromatic hydrocarbon content in the hydrogenation product.

[0046] (2) The light coker distillate oil first enters the n-paraffin conversion reaction zone and contacts the shape-selective cracking catalyst to carry out the chain-breaking reaction of straight-chain hydrocarbons. By controlling the n-paraffin content in the effluent of the shape-selective cracking reaction within a certain range, it is ensured that the straight-chain hydrocarbons are enriched in the light naphtha and gas products after the cracking reaction. Then, through hydrocracking, the polycyclic cyclic hydrocarbons are ring-opened and cracked while retaining the monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons, and further selective chain-breaking of the isomeric hydrocarbons is carried out to achieve efficient separation of the paraffins and cyclic hydrocarbons in the coker naphtha. + The n-paraffin content in the effluent of the shape-selective cracking reaction is within a certain range, ensuring that the straight-chain hydrocarbons are enriched in the light naphtha and gas products after the cracking reaction. Then, through hydrocracking, the polycyclic cyclic hydrocarbons are ring-opened and cracked while retaining the monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons, and further selective chain-breaking of the isomeric hydrocarbons is carried out to achieve efficient separation of the paraffins and cyclic hydrocarbons in the coker naphtha.

[0047] (3) The cyclic hydrocarbons in the heavy naphtha of the hydrocracking product are highly enriched and the paraffin content is low. Using this as the catalytic reforming raw material, the catalytic reforming unit only needs to adopt two reaction zones: six-membered ring dehydrogenation and five-membered ring isomerization dehydrogenation, canceling the paraffin cyclization reaction zone, and significantly reducing the energy consumption of the catalytic reforming unit.
