[0002] As traditional fossil fuel supplies tighten and pressure to reduce CO2 emissions grows, the refining industry faces a critical challenge: how to effectively reduce CO2 emissions while increasing fuel supply. The development of biomass fuel is considered an effective means of addressing this issue. For the aviation industry in particular, the use of biomass jet fuel is considered the most important way to address carbon emissions.
[0003] The production of jet fuel using oil as raw material usually adopts a two-step hydrogenation process. First, the oil raw material is hydrogenated to obtain hydrocarbon compounds; then the hydrocarbon compounds are hydrogenated and converted to prepare jet fuel components that meet jet fuel standards.
[0004] US20090158637A1 discloses a method for producing aviation fuel from renewable raw materials such as vegetable oils and animal fats and oils. The method comprises treating the renewable raw materials by hydrogenation and deoxygenation to provide normal paraffins having from about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms. At least some of the normal paraffins are isomerized to improve cold flow properties. At least a portion of the paraffins are selectively cracked to provide paraffins that meet the specifications of different aviation fuels, such as JP-8.
[0005] CN103059900A discloses a method for preparing jet fuel, comprising: (1) contacting vegetable oil and / or animal fat, hydrogen, and a hydrodeoxygenation catalyst under hydrodeoxygenation conditions to obtain C8-C24 normal alkanes; (2) contacting the C8-C24 normal alkanes and hydrogen with a hydroisomerization catalyst under hydroisomerization conditions; and (3) contacting the product of step (2) and hydrogen with a hydrorefining catalyst under hydrorefining conditions, followed by fractionation to obtain jet fuel. The jet fuel prepared using the method of the present invention is composed almost entirely of saturated alkanes and has stable properties, meeting the requirements for No. 3 jet fuel.
[0006] CN102124080A discloses a method for producing hydrocarbons using biomaterials, and hydrocarbons and fuels thereof. The method comprises subjecting the feed to a hydrogenation saturation reaction, a deoxygenation reaction, and an alkane isomerization reaction to generate reaction products, distilling the liquid hydrocarbon components, collecting the target hydrocarbon products, and recycling the liquid hydrocarbon components or the target hydrocarbon products to the reaction step; wherein the catalyst in the reaction step is a supported catalyst of a ten-membered ring one-dimensional pore molecular sieve supported by a Group VIII metal.
[0007] CN103059930A provides a method for preparing jet fuel. The method involves mixing a heavy fraction with a boiling point of 260°C or higher with C8-C24 normal alkanes to obtain a mixture, subjecting it to hydroisomerization and hydrofining. The reaction product is fractionated to obtain jet fuel and the heavy fraction with a boiling point of 260°C or higher. This method utilizes a cyclic conversion method for the heavy fraction to improve the yield of the jet fuel.
[0008] Waste oil and grease, especially waste cooking oil, contains a certain amount of sodium chloride during use. Oil and grease will generate water and hydrogen chloride during the hydrogenation process. Hydrogen chloride and water will generate highly concentrated hydrochloric acid under liquid phase conditions, especially under water dew point conditions, which will cause serious corrosion to the device, shorten the device operation cycle, and even bring safety hazards to the device operation.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the chlorine-containing oil and fat raw material enters an optional water washing pretreatment unit for water washing treatment, the amount of water added is 2 to 20% by mass of the raw material, preferably 4 to 10% by mass, and oil-water separation is performed after standing at 50 to 100° C. for 30 to 120 minutes; the dehydrated chlorine-containing oil and fat raw material is sent to the hydroprocessing reaction zone.
[0017] In the present invention, "optional" means optional, not necessary. The chlorine-containing oil and fat raw materials can be pre-treated by water washing or directly enter the hydroprocessing reaction zone.
[0018] In the hydroprocessing reaction zone of step (1), the chlorine-containing oil and fat raw materials are contacted with a hydroprocessing catalyst in the presence of hydrogen, and mainly undergo reactions such as hydrodeoxygenation, olefin saturation, hydrodechlorination, hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation to obtain a reaction effluent containing water, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia.
[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reaction conditions of the hydroprocessing reaction zone are: hydrogen partial pressure 1.0-15.0 MPa, reaction temperature 150-450°C, liquid hourly volume space velocity 0.1-10 h -1 , hydrogen-oil volume ratio 300-2000;
[0020] The preferred reaction conditions in the hydroprocessing reaction zone are: hydrogen partial pressure 3.0-10.0 MPa, reaction temperature 250-400°C, liquid hourly space velocity 0.5-5.0 h -1 , hydrogen-oil volume ratio 500~1500.
[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hydroprocessing catalyst comprises a metal active component and a carrier, the carrier is selected from one or more of aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, zirconium oxide, and titanium oxide, the metal active component is at least one metal element selected from Group VIB and at least one metal element selected from Group VIII, the Group VIB metal element is molybdenum and / or tungsten, and the Group VIII metal element is cobalt and / or nickel; based on the total weight of the hydroprocessing catalyst, the content of the metal active component is 5 to 50 weight % in terms of oxide.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, based on the total weight of the hydroprocessing catalyst, the content of the Group VIB metal element is 4 to 40% by weight, and the content of the Group VIII metal element is 1 to 10% by weight, calculated as oxides; and the metal active component contains cobalt and molybdenum.
[0023] More preferably, based on the total weight of the hydroprocessing catalyst, the content of the Group VIB metal element is 8 to 35% by weight, and the content of the Group VIII metal element is 2 to 5% by weight, calculated as oxide.
[0024] According to the method provided by the present invention, the hydroprocessing catalyst is preferably used as a hydroprocessing catalyst after being sulfurized. In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to maintain the sulfurized form of the catalyst, sulfur is supplemented in the chlorine-containing oil and fat raw material, or sulfur is added to the circulating hydrogen.
[0025] In one embodiment of the present invention, the chlorine-containing oil and fat feedstock contains a sulfiding agent, wherein the mass fraction of the sulfiding agent is 0.01% to 0.5% by weight. The sulfiding agent can be any sulfur-containing substance that can be vaporized under hydrogenation conditions and sulfidize the hydroprocessing catalyst. Preferably, the sulfiding agent is one or more of hydrogen sulfide, carbon disulfide, dimethyl disulfide, methyl sulfide, n-butyl sulfide, and thiophene.
[0026] In step (2), the reaction effluent obtained from the hydrotreatment reaction zone enters a high-pressure stripping tower, and stripping gas is introduced at the bottom of the high-pressure stripping tower to transfer gases such as water, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia generated by the reaction into the gas phase.
[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, the operating conditions of the high-pressure stripping tower are: pressure 1.0-15.0 MPa, tower top temperature 200-300° C., tower bottom temperature 250-380° C., and the mass fraction of the stripping gas feed to the total amount of the high-pressure stripping tower feed is 0.1%-15%;
[0028] The stripping gas is selected from one or more of hydrogen, nitrogen and water vapor.
[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the chlorine content of the liquid phase material obtained at the bottom of the high-pressure gas stripping tower is less than 0.5 mg / kg, the water content is less than 100 mg / kg, and the hydrogen sulfide content is less than 5 mg / kg.
[0030] In step (2), the gaseous material obtained at the top of the high-pressure gas stripping tower enters the dechlorination reactor and contacts the dechlorinating agent for adsorption dechlorination. The inventors of the present invention have found through in-depth research that in the dechlorinating agent adsorption dechlorination process, when the hydrogen chloride gas is in the gas phase, the adsorption efficiency is high, while when the material is in the gas and liquid phases, the liquid covers the adsorbent, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of the dechlorinating agent. In addition, if the mixed material is cooled and separated before dechlorination, the hydrogen chloride and condensed water vapor will cause severe dew point corrosion during the cooling process of the material. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts a technical solution combining high-pressure gas stripping and high-temperature fractionation to separate the gas and liquid phases of the material at a higher temperature. Due to the gas stripping process, the hydrogen chloride contained in the liquid phase is fully separated and transferred to the gas phase. The gaseous phase material is then introduced into the dechlorination reactor and contacts the dechlorinating agent, and adsorption dechlorination is carried out under gas phase conditions, so that hydrogen chloride is removed in the gas phase with high efficiency and greatly improves the chlorine capacity of the dechlorinating agent. The present invention can effectively reduce the amount of dechlorinating agent used, reduce processing costs, and also avoid the risk of dew point corrosion.
[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dechlorination agent comprises at least one Group IA metal compound and / or at least one Group IIA metal compound, optionally one or more metal oxides selected from Cu, Fe, Zn, and a support and / or a binder;
[0032] The carrier and / or binder is selected from one or more of silica, alumina, silica-alumina, zirconia, and clay. The clay is selected from one or more of kaolin, illite, montmorillonite, and bentonite; and the kaolin includes halloysite.
[0033] In the present invention, "optional" means selectable, and the optional one or several metal oxides selected from Cu, Fe, and Zn means that the one or several metal oxides selected from Cu, Fe, and Zn are optional components of the dechlorination agent.
[0034] In the present invention, the dechlorinating agent is preferably a high-temperature dechlorinating agent and / or a medium-temperature dechlorinating agent. The present invention does not limit the high-temperature dechlorinating agent and the medium-temperature dechlorinating agent in any way, and conventional high-temperature dechlorinating agents and medium-temperature dechlorinating agents can achieve the present invention. High-temperature dechlorinating agents and / or medium-temperature dechlorinating agents with a large chlorine capacity are further preferred.
[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dechlorination agent comprises 50-80 mass % of alkaline earth metal oxide, 10-40 mass % of aluminum oxide, and 2-80 mass % of bentonite, based on the weight of the dechlorination agent.
[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the operating conditions of the dechlorination reactor are: pressure 1.0-15.0 MPa, reaction temperature 150-450°C, gas hourly volume space velocity 100-5000 h -1 ;
[0037] Preferably, the operating conditions of the dechlorination reactor are: reaction temperature 250-450°C, pressure 3.0-10.0 MPa, gas hourly volume space velocity 500-2000 h -1 .
[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dechlorinated material obtained in the dechlorination reactor is cooled to a temperature of 30-80° C. and then enters a dehydration separator to obtain an aqueous phase material and a chlorine-free hydrogen-rich gas through separation. The chlorine-free hydrogen-rich gas obtained in the dehydration separator is divided into two paths, one of which is circulated to the inlet of the hydrogenation reactor as circulating hydrogen, and the other is entered into the bottom of the high-pressure stripping tower as stripping gas.
[0039] In step (3) of the present invention, the liquid phase material obtained at the bottom of the high-pressure gas stripping tower enters the hydrocracking reaction zone and the hydroisomerization reaction zone in the presence of hydrogen, and is contacted with the hydrocracking catalyst and the hydroisomerization catalyst respectively to react. After separation of the obtained reaction effluent, at least a jet fuel component is obtained. The mass yield of the jet fuel component obtained in the present invention can reach more than 55%.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hydrocracking catalyst carrier comprises alumina and silica-alumina, with the alumina content being 25-75% by weight and the silica-alumina content being 75-25% by weight, based on the carrier. The alumina is an alumina having pores with a diameter of less than 60 angstroms accounting for at least 30% of the total pore volume. The active metal component of the hydrocracking catalyst comprises platinum. Preferably, the active metal components of the hydrocracking catalyst are platinum and palladium.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the BET specific surface area of silicon oxide-alumina is 150 to 320 m 2 / g, and a pore volume of 0.2 to 1.3 mL / g; the silica-alumina is a silica-alumina having a characteristic γ-alumina X-ray diffraction pattern, and based on the silica-alumina, the silica-alumina contains 5 to 60% by weight of silica and 40 to 95% by weight of alumina. Preferably, based on the silica-alumina, the silica-alumina contains 10 to 45% by weight of silica and 55 to 90% by weight of alumina.
[0042] The silicon oxide-aluminum oxide can be a commercial product or can be prepared using any existing technology.
[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the preparation of the carrier includes mixing, shaping and calcining silica-alumina and / or its precursor with alumina and / or alumina precursor, wherein the amount of each component is such that the final carrier, the alumina precursor is selected from hydrated alumina, preferably pseudo-boehmite therein; the silica-alumina precursor is preferably silica-alumina with a pseudo-boehmite structure. They can be commercially available products or prepared using any existing technology. After calcination, the alumina precursor is an alumina with a pore volume of pores with a pore diameter of less than 60 angstroms accounting for more than 25% of the total pore volume, preferably more than 30%, and more preferably more than 35%. The calcination adopts the methods and conditions commonly used in the art, such as the calcination temperature can be 350-650°C; preferably 400-600°C, and the calcination time is 2-6 hours, preferably 3-5 hours.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reaction conditions of the hydrocracking reaction zone are as follows: reaction temperature 250-500°C, hydrogen partial pressure 1.0-10.0 MPa, liquid hourly space velocity 0.1-5.0 h -1 , hydrogen-oil volume ratio 300~1500; preferred reaction conditions of the hydrocracking reaction zone: reaction temperature 300~400 ℃, hydrogen partial pressure 3.0~8.0MPa, liquid hourly volume space velocity 0.5~3.0h -1 , hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 500-1200.
[0045] In order to obtain the maximum amount of high-quality jet fuel components, the conversion rate of the fraction above 270°C in the hydrocracking reaction zone is controlled to be 55% to 80%. The conversion rate of the fraction above 270°C refers to:
[0046] Conversion rate of fraction >270°C = 100% * (mass fraction of fraction >270°C in the feed to the hydrocracking reaction zone - mass fraction of fraction >270°C in the reaction product of the hydrocracking reaction zone) / mass fraction of fraction >270°C in the feed to the hydrocracking reaction zone.
[0047] If the hydrocracking reaction unit controls the conversion rate of the fraction above 270°C too low, the high content of heavy fractions in the product will lead to a high resin content in the jet fuel components, necessitating the removal of the heavy fractions. This will prevent the maximum amount of jet fuel components from being obtained, and the product fraction quality indicators will not meet jet fuel quality requirements. If the hydrocracking reaction unit controls the conversion rate of the fraction above 270°C too high, not only will the jet fuel component yield be reduced, but the unit's hydrogen consumption will also be significantly increased, making the unit's product plan uneconomical and unreasonable.
[0048] In step (4) of the present invention, the reaction effluent from the hydrocracking unit enters the hydroisomerization unit and contacts the hydroisomerization catalyst to undergo an isomerization reaction. The reaction effluent is subjected to gas-liquid separation and fractionation to obtain a naphtha fraction and a jet fuel component. The jet fuel component obtained meets the quality requirements of Appendix C "Kerosene component produced by hydro-reforming of esters and fatty acids (HEFA-SPK)" of No. 3 jet fuel (GB 6537-2018). In addition, the reaction product of the hydroisomerization unit of the present invention does not contain a diesel component, and the oil feedstock is converted into the jet fuel component in the largest amount.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the active metal component of the hydroisomerization catalyst contains palladium and platinum, and the mesoporous molecular sieve is selected from one or more of ZSM-22, Nu-10, Thete-1, ISI-1, ZSM-23, SAPO-11, SAPO-31, and SAPO-41.
[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reaction conditions of the hydroisomerization unit are: reaction temperature 150-500°C, hydrogen partial pressure 1.0-10.0 MPa, liquid hourly volume space velocity 0.2-5.0 h -1 , the hydrogen-oil volume ratio is 300-1000; the preferred reaction conditions of the hydroisomerization unit are: reaction temperature 200-300 ° C, hydrogen partial pressure 0.3-8.0 MPa, liquid hourly volume space velocity 0.5-4.0 h -1 , the hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 400-800.
[0051] Features of the present invention:
[0052] 1. The method provided by the present invention involves hydrotreating chlorine-containing oil and fat feedstock to produce normal alkanes. The normal alkanes are then hydrocracking and then hydroisomerized. The hydroisomerization products undergo gas-liquid separation and fractionation to produce jet fuel components. By controlling the conversion rate of the fraction above 270°C in the hydrocracking unit, the present invention maximizes the production of high-quality jet fuel components while minimizing energy consumption and effectively improving the economic benefits of the device.
[0053] 2. To address the problem of significantly reduced chlorine penetration capacity of dechlorinating agents in mixed gas and liquid phases, the present invention utilizes a high-pressure gas stripping tower to concentrate the hydrogen chloride generated in the gas phase of the high-pressure gas stripping tower through a combination of gas stripping and fractionation. The gas phase material from the high-pressure gas stripping tower is then introduced into a dechlorination reactor to contact the dechlorinating agent. In the dechlorination reactor of the present invention, adsorption dechlorination is performed under gas-phase conditions, significantly increasing the chlorine penetration capacity of the dechlorinating agent, saving a large amount of dechlorinating agent, thereby reducing the processing cost of high-chlorine raw materials and effectively solving the problem of hydrogen chloride corrosion on the equipment.

A nitric acid solution was added and thoroughly kneaded. The mixture was then extruded into clover-shaped strips with a diameter of 1.3 mm on an extruder. The strips were dried at 120°C for 4 hours and then calcined at 600°C in air for 2 hours to obtain a support. The support was then saturated with a solution containing Pt(NH3)4Cl2, dried at 110°C for 4 hours, and calcined at 400°C in air for 3 hours to obtain a hydroisomerization catalyst.
