DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] All electrical components in this case are connected to their corresponding power supplies through wires by personnel in this field, and a suitable controller should be selected according to actual conditions to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working sequence between the electrical components in the following working principle to complete the electrical connection. The detailed connection means are well-known technologies in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and no longer explains the electrical control.

[0021] See also Figure 1 , the present invention provides a technical solution: Example 1: Standard process flow example Mixing and sedimentation of raw asphalt and mixed solvent: In this embodiment, the raw asphalt and the mixed solvent are mixed in a ratio of 1:3 and then pumped to a sedimentation tank for sedimentation separation. An internal stirring device is provided in the sedimentation tank to maintain a uniform mixing state, and the sedimentation time is 8 hours. After the sedimentation is completed, the light phase solution is collected at the top overflow port, and the heavy phase mixed oil is collected at the bottom.

[0022] Heating and distillation of light phase solution: The light phase solution is pumped into the light phase buffer tank, then heated to 150°C in the light phase heating furnace, and then enters the light phase distillation tower. The top of the light phase distillation tower is equipped with a condensation reflux system for recovering the solvent, and the bottom of the tower collects the refined asphalt. After the refined asphalt is treated with delayed coking and calcination, high-purity needle coke is obtained.

[0023] Treatment of heavy phase mixed oil: The heavy phase mixed oil is heated to 250°C in a heavy phase heating furnace and then sent to a heavy phase distillation tower. The heavy phase distillation tower is equipped with multiple trays to enhance separation efficiency. The mixed solvent is recovered at the top of the tower, and the high boiling point mixed oil at the bottom of the tower is mixed with anthracene oil at a ratio of 1:0.5 and then enters the deashing tank. In the deashing tank, after the mixed oil fully reacts with the deashing agent, it is centrifuged to obtain low-ash special asphalt coke.

[0024] Example 2: Example focusing on deashing Mixing and settling of raw asphalt and solvent: In this example, the raw asphalt and the mixed solvent are mixed in a ratio of 1:4 and then pumped into a settling tank. In this example, a longer settling time (12 hours) and a higher temperature (70°C) are used to ensure complete separation of the light and heavy phases. The light phase solution is collected in a light phase buffer tank, while the heavy phase mixed oil is discharged from the bottom.

[0025] Refining of light phase solution: The light phase solution is sent from the buffer tank to the light phase heating furnace, where the temperature is raised to 180°C, and then enters the distillation tower. The distillation tower adopts a five-stage distillation tray design to further purify the light phase components. The solvent at the top of the tower is recycled, and the refined asphalt at the bottom of the tower is used for delayed coking and calcination to prepare needle coke.

[0026] Deashing and refining of heavy phase mixed oil: The heavy phase mixed oil is first heated to 300°C by a heating furnace, and then enters a distillation tower to recover high-boiling point components. The heavy phase oil after distillation is mixed with the wash oil in a ratio of 1:1 and enters a deashing tank for treatment. During the deashing process, the amount of deashing agent (10%) and the reaction time (6 hours) are controlled to reduce the ash content to 0.05%. The deashed mixed oil is separated by centrifugation to obtain high-quality special asphalt coke.

[0027] Example 3: Example of Optimizing Light Phase Processing Mixing and settling: In this embodiment, the raw asphalt and the mixed solvent are mixed in a ratio of 1:2.5. The mixture is pumped into a settling tank, and the settling time is set to 10 hours at a temperature of 65°C. The light phase solution is discharged from the top of the settling tank and collected in a light phase buffer tank. The heavy phase mixed oil is discharged from the bottom for subsequent treatment.

[0028] Heating and deep distillation of light phase solution: The light phase solution is pumped from the buffer tank to the heating furnace and heated to 200°C. The heated light phase solution enters the distillation tower, which adopts a six-stage tray design to achieve higher distillation efficiency. The top condensation reflux system ensures efficient recovery of the solvent, while the refined asphalt at the bottom of the tower is used for the production of needle coke.

[0029] Treatment and deashing of heavy phase mixed oil: After the heavy phase mixed oil is heated to 270°C, it enters the distillation tower for further solvent recovery and component separation. The heavy phase mixed oil discharged from the bottom of the tower is mixed with the wash oil at a ratio of 1:0.8 and enters the deashing tank. In this process, the deashing conditions are specially optimized, 15% of the deashing agent is used, and the reaction time is extended to 8 hours to ensure the lowest ash content. The heavy phase oil after deashing is centrifuged to finally obtain high-quality special asphalt coke.
