Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for processing catalytic diesel, in particular to a method for processing catalytic diesel to produce more BTX. Background Art

[0002] Catalytically cracked diesel, a product of the catalytic cracking unit, has a high sulfur content and is rich in aromatics. The aromatic content in catalytic diesel can reach as high as 70-90%, primarily consisting of single-, double-, and triple-ring aromatics. Single-ring aromatics are primarily indanes and tetralins, while polycyclic aromatics are primarily naphthalenes and acenaphthenes. For example, in a refinery's catalytic diesel, single-ring aromatics are primarily concentrated in the lighter fraction below 260°C, while double- and higher-ring aromatics are primarily concentrated in the heavier fraction (>260°C). Hydrogenation is currently the primary method for processing catalytic diesel. While traditional hydrorefining techniques can remove sulfur and nitrogen impurities from catalytic diesel, the hydrogenation process consumes a lot of hydrogen, and deep desulfurization can lead to oversaturation of aromatics, reducing fuel quality.

[0003] CN106047404A discloses a combined process for increasing the production of high-octane gasoline from low-quality catalytic cracking diesel. This process involves first passing low-quality catalytic cracking diesel through a hydrofining reactor under a hydrogen atmosphere and relatively mild refining conditions to selectively hydrogenate condensed aromatic hydrocarbons and remove sulfur and nitrogen. The refined liquid product then enters a lightweighting reactor equipped with a precious metal catalyst for hydrogenation and lightweighting, ultimately achieving the goal of increasing the production of high-octane gasoline. This method uses conventional hydrofining agents, which require stringent reaction conditions to achieve deep impurity removal and present the problem of oversaturation of aromatic hydrocarbons.

[0004] CN103897731A discloses a catalytic cracking diesel and C 10 + The method for producing light aromatics by mixing distillate oil comprises the following steps: firstly, catalytic cracking diesel, C 10 + The distillate oil is mixed with hydrogen and then subjected to a hydrorefining reaction to remove sulfur and nitrogen, saturate olefins, and appropriately saturate aromatics. The hydrorefined product is then extracted with an extraction solvent to obtain an aromatics-rich extracted oil and an alkane-rich raffinate oil. The raffinate oil serves as a clean diesel blending component, and the extracted oil is separated by distillation to obtain an aromatics extracted oil. The aromatics extracted oil is then subjected to a hydrocracking reaction, and the hydrocracking products are further cut and separated. The distillate oil product with a temperature greater than 195°C is used as a clean diesel blending component, and the distillate oil with a temperature less than 195°C is used as an aromatic feedstock and enters an aromatics processing unit to obtain light aromatics products and a clean gasoline blending component. The above method suffers from high extraction solvent loss and poor extraction efficiency. Summary of the Invention
