Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a coal tar processing method, and more specifically to a method for processing coal tar using a combination of alkali metal treatment and hydrocracking processes. Background Technology
[0002] The comprehensive utilization of coal tar resources is of great significance to the value-added transformation of coal resources and regional economic development in my country. Coal tar is a liquid product with a pungent odor, produced as a byproduct of coal dry distillation and gasification. Based on the dry distillation temperature, it can be classified into low-temperature coal tar, medium-temperature coal tar, and high-temperature coal tar. At room temperature, coal tar is a black or dark brown viscous liquid with a high density and high content of impurities such as metals and sulfur. Furthermore, coal tar has a high oxygen content, especially in medium- and low-temperature coal tar, where the oxygen content can reach as high as 30%. Its oxygen-containing compounds are mainly phenol and its derivatives.
[0003] Patent CN102851066A discloses a two-stage combined process for hydrotreating coal tar, comprising: (a) coal tar feedstock entering a hydrotreating reaction section for hydrotreating reaction; (b) the effluent from the hydrotreating reaction section undergoing gas-liquid separation, with the separated liquid phase entering a fractionating unit for fractionation into gasoline fraction, diesel fraction, and heavy fraction; (c) at least a portion of the heavy fraction obtained in step (b) entering a hydrocracking reaction section for hydrocracking reaction; (d) the effluent from the hydrocracking reaction section entering a hot high-pressure separator for separation into gas and liquid phases, with at least a portion of the liquid phase entering the hydrotreating reaction section of step (a); and (e) the gas phase separated by the hot high-pressure separator in step (d) and the diesel fraction obtained by fractionation in step (b) being mixed and entering a diesel hydrotreating reaction section.
[0004] Patent CN104927916A discloses a method for hydrogenating coal tar, which includes introducing hydrogen gas into coal tar through pores with an average pore size of nanometers to obtain hydrogen-containing coal tar; and feeding the obtained hydrogen-containing coal tar into a tubular reactor and contacting it with a hydrogenation catalyst packed in the tubular reactor under liquid-phase hydrogenation treatment conditions.
[0005] Therefore, it can be seen that the current coal tar processing technologies mainly include the two-stage hydrorefining-hydrocracking process, the reverse-sequence series hydrocracking-hydrorefining process, and the delayed coking-fixed-bed hydrorefining process. These technologies generally have the following problems: First, coal tar has a high oxygen content, and the water generated after hydrogenation can cause catalyst breakage, thus requiring extremely high water resistance of the coal tar hydrogenation catalyst; second, coal tar has a high impurity and metal content, which can easily cause bed blockage, leading to an increase in bed pressure drop and affecting the operation cycle of the unit; third, traditional coal tar hydrogenation processes generally suffer from problems such as high reaction severity and low selectivity of hydrodesulfurization.

[0021] Furthermore, in step (2) of the method of the present invention, the separation process can employ any one or more existing separation devices, such as vacuum filters, pressure filters, filter centrifuges, sedimentation centrifuges, and membrane filters.

[0028] Coal tar feedstock has a high oxygen content, mostly in the form of phenol and its derivatives. Traditional hydrogenation processes generate large amounts of water from the hydrogenation of oxygen-containing compounds, placing extremely high demands on the water resistance of the catalyst. The method of this invention utilizes alkali metal treatment technology to upgrade coal tar feedstock. This technology does not require a catalyst; instead, it directly uses alkali metals as reactants to remove oxygen-containing compounds from the coal tar feedstock. It can also efficiently remove sulfur and heavy metal impurities such as iron and calcium from the coal tar feedstock, thereby providing high-quality feedstock for downstream hydrocracking units and extending the unit's operating cycle.
[0029] Furthermore, the inventors discovered during their research that the reaction between molten alkali metals and liquid coal tar is a two-phase reaction, and the mass transfer rate between the two phases is a key factor affecting the reaction rate. However, molten alkali metals have high surface tension and are prone to self-aggregation, which is detrimental to mass transfer between the liquid and liquid phases. This invention proposes introducing alkali metal hydrides (auxiliaries) into the alkali metal treatment reaction system. These auxiliaries have high surface tension, which can improve the spreading ability of molten alkali metals on their surface, thereby significantly accelerating the reaction rate and improving the reaction effect. In addition, alkali metal hydrides can react alone with phenolic compounds to achieve deoxidation; moreover, adding alkali metal hydrides to the reaction system does not cause any side effects, and they can be electrolytically recovered together with the desulfurization reaction product, alkali metal sulfides.
[0030] Furthermore, the alkali metal treatment process includes two stages: a primary reaction and a secondary reaction. The intermediate products generated in the primary reaction are a two-phase solid-liquid mixture, consisting of a solid-phase alkali metal sulfide and a liquid-phase alkali metal alkoxy compound. The solid-phase alkali metal sulfide acts as a dispersion medium, promoting the dispersion of alkali metals in the coal tar feedstock; the liquid-phase alkali metal alkoxy compound acts as a surfactant, further achieving efficient dispersion of alkali metals and improving their utilization rate and reaction effect.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the method of the present invention are as follows:
[0032] 1. The method of this invention combines alkali metal treatment and hydrocracking technologies for the processing of coal tar feedstock. The alkali metal treatment technology serves as a pretreatment step to upgrade the coal tar feedstock. This technology does not require a catalyst; instead, it directly utilizes alkali metals as reactants to remove oxygen-containing compounds from the coal tar feedstock. Furthermore, it can efficiently remove sulfur and heavy metal impurities such as iron and calcium from the coal tar feedstock, thereby providing high-quality feedstock for downstream hydrocracking units and extending the unit's operating cycle.
[0033] 2. The mass transfer rate between liquid and liquid phases is a key factor affecting the reaction rate between molten alkali metals and liquid coal tar. This invention proposes introducing alkali metal hydrides (auxiliaries) into the alkali metal treatment reaction system. These auxiliaries have high surface tension, which improves the spreading ability of molten alkali metals on their surface, thereby significantly accelerating the reaction rate and enhancing the reaction effect. Furthermore, alkali metal hydrides can react alone with phenolic compounds to achieve deoxidation; moreover, adding alkali metal hydrides to the reaction system does not cause any side effects, and they are electrolytically recovered together with the desulfurization reaction product, alkali metal sulfides.
[0034] 3. In the method of this invention, the alkali metal treatment process includes two processes: a primary reaction and a secondary reaction. The intermediate product generated in the primary reaction is a solid-liquid two-phase mixture, including a solid-phase alkali metal sulfide and a liquid-phase alkali metal alkoxy compound. The solid-phase alkali metal sulfide can serve as a dispersion medium to promote the dispersion of alkali metals in coal tar feedstock; the liquid-phase alkali metal alkoxy compound can act as a surfactant to further achieve efficient dispersion of alkali metals, thereby improving the utilization rate of alkali metals and the reaction effect.
