Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of oil refining and chemical industry, and in particular to a method and a device for producing cyclohexane by utilizing light naphtha. Background Art

[0002] Benzene is an important product of petroleum refining and an important basic raw material for petrochemical industry. Benzene can be divided into petroleum benzene and coking benzene according to its source. At present, there are six main processes for producing benzene in the world: first, naphtha in the refinery is obtained through catalytic reforming process, which is the largest source of benzene; second, benzene is produced as a by-product in the high-temperature cracking process to produce ethylene; third, benzene is produced by the aromatization process of light hydrocarbons, that is, low-carbon hydrocarbons or liquefied petroleum gas are converted into benzene. Fourth, benzene is produced as a by-product when toluene and C9+ heavy aromatics undergo disproportionation and alkyl transfer reactions to produce mixed xylenes; fifth, ethylbenzene in mixed xylenes undergoes dealkylation to produce benzene; sixth, benzene is produced in the coal chemical industry. Among the above six processes, the benzene produced by the first five processes is called "petroleum benzene", and the benzene produced by coal chemical industry is called "coking benzene".

[0003] As an important chemical intermediate, benzene has a wide variety of downstream products, mainly used in the production of chemical products such as ethylbenzene and cyclohexane. In 2021, the global benzene production was about 53.294 million tons, and the benzene used to produce cyclohexane accounted for about 14.1% of the total, that is, about 7.51 million tons / year of benzene was used for the production of cyclohexane after dehydrogenation. In 2021, China's benzene production was 13.823 million tons, and the benzene used to produce cyclohexane accounted for about 27% of the total, that is, about 3.73 million tons / year of benzene was used for the production of cyclohexane after dehydrogenation. In 2021, the average price of domestic benzene was about 6,100 yuan, and the price in 2022 was significantly higher.

[0004] Cyclohexane is an important organic chemical raw material, mainly used to produce cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, and products such as caprolactam and hexamethylenediamine, which are monomers for making nylon 66 and nylon 6. It can also be used as an excellent solvent. The main industrial production methods of cyclohexane are petroleum fraction separation and benzene hydrogenation saturation. The cyclohexane obtained by the petroleum fraction separation method has low purity and high energy consumption, and does not meet the requirements of downstream deep processing. At present, at least 85% of cyclohexane is obtained from the benzene hydrogenation saturation process, and the product purity is very high, which can meet the requirements of industrial applications. In 2021, the average price of cyclohexane is about 7,400 yuan / ton, which is significantly higher than the price of light naphtha of 4,100 yuan / ton, and is also nearly 1,300 yuan higher than the price of benzene.

[0005] As the largest source of benzene, the catalytic reforming process mainly produces benzene by dehydrogenating cyclohexane in naphtha. At present, most of the cyclohexane sold on the market is obtained by hydrogenation of benzene. Therefore, it is very meaningful to seek a low-cost, low-energy consumption, short-process process to produce cyclohexane. That is, this patent intends to invent a method and system for producing cyclohexane using light naphtha to avoid the phenomenon of "repeated" dehydrogenation and hydrogenation of cyclohexane in light naphtha, in which cyclohexane in light naphtha is first dehydrogenated to produce benzene and then benzene is hydrogenated to produce cyclohexane. At the same time, the production of cyclohexane is increased by cyclization of C6 alkanes in light naphtha, isomerization of methylcyclopentane, saturation of a small amount of benzene, etc. The light naphtha described in this patent mainly refers to straight-run naphtha, diesel hydrocracking naphtha, wax oil hydrocracking naphtha, catalytic cracking aromatic raffinate, ethylene cracking aromatic raffinate, and 50-85°C fractions in coal-based naphtha, mainly C6 alkanes and cycloalkanes. The cyclohexane produced by this patent will have obvious product competitiveness than the cyclohexane produced by benzene dehydrogenation.

[0049] Gas-liquid separation: the reaction product 8 is cooled and then separated into hydrogen-containing gas, C2-C5 light hydrocarbons and cyclohexane-rich 18. The hydrogen-containing gas is pressurized and then recycled as hydrogen 4. The cyclohexane-rich 18 is mixed with light naphtha 1 and then crystallized and separated together.

[0050] The crystallization separation system 102 includes at least one crystallization separator 201. When the number of the at least one crystallization separator 201 is more than one, each crystallization separator 201 is connected in parallel, in series, or in a combination of series and parallel.

[0051] In the present invention, the difference in crystallization temperature between cyclohexane and other alkanes and cycloalkanes is utilized to achieve separation, and a crystallization + dissolution process is combined, which greatly reduces the operating energy consumption of the separation process. The obtained cyclohexane has high purity, flexible process operation, and can achieve long-term stable operation.

[0052] According to the present invention, at least one crystallization separator 201 is at least two in parallel;

[0053] Each crystallizer 201 is provided with a cold exchange component 202, a stirrer 203 and an optional electric heater;

[0054] The cold exchange component 202 is used to cool the cyclohexane in the crystallizer 201, or to heat and melt the crystallized cyclohexane in the crystallizer 201;

[0055] The optional electric heater is used to heat and melt the crystallized cyclohexane in the crystallizer 201;

[0056] The stirrer 203 is used to stir the cyclohexane in the cooling crystallization process in the crystallizer separator 201 to achieve uniform crystallization of the cyclohexane;

[0057] Light naphtha is fed into at least two parallel crystallization separators 201 in a stream to be cooled, crystallized, and heated to be dissolved independently;

[0058] The cyclohexane obtained by heating and dissolving in the crystallization separation system 102 is extracted as high-purity cyclohexane 3;

[0059] The cold exchange component 202 is preferably a U-shaped tube.

[0060] Preferably, the cyclohexane-depleted light naphtha 2 obtained by cooling and crystallizing the light naphtha 1 in the crystallization separation system 102 is heat exchanged with the light naphtha 1 to obtain preheated cyclohexane-depleted light naphtha 27, and the preheated cyclohexane-depleted light naphtha 27 is mixed with hydrogen 4, heated, and then subjected to hydrogenation reaction to obtain a reaction product 8;

[0061] The cold exchange component 202 is provided with an outlet and an inlet, the inlet is used to receive the cooling refrigerant 20 injected by the refrigeration system 101, or to receive the heating heating agent 21 injected by the heating system 103; the outlet is used to output the refrigerant 22 after heat exchange to the refrigeration system 101, or to output the heating agent 23 after heat exchange to the heating system 103.

[0062] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the hydrogenation reaction step, the cyclohexane-poor light naphtha 3 is mixed with hydrogen 4 to obtain a hydrogenated light naphtha 5, and the hydrogenated light naphtha 5 is successively subjected to heat exchange and heating to obtain a reaction product 8.

[0063] In the gas-liquid separation step, the reaction product 8 is subjected to heat exchange cooling, air cooling and cooling in sequence, and then product separation is performed to obtain hydrogen-containing gas and liquid product 13. The liquid product 13 is heated and sent to a stabilization tower for gas-liquid separation to obtain a stabilization tower top product and a stabilization tower bottom product. The stabilization tower top product is cooled and gas-liquid separated in sequence to obtain gas-phase C2-C5 light hydrocarbons and liquid-phase C2-C5 light hydrocarbons, respectively. The stabilization tower bottom product is subjected to heat exchange cooling with the liquid product 13 to obtain cyclohexane-rich 18;

[0064] The hydrogen-mixed light naphtha 5 is heated by heat exchange with the reaction product 8 to obtain the preheated light naphtha 6.

[0065] In the present invention, the crystallizer is connected to a refrigeration system to provide cooling capacity, so that cyclohexane is crystallized and precipitated preferentially, thereby obtaining high-purity cyclohexane and realizing efficient separation of cyclohexane from other components in light naphtha.

[0066] In the present invention, a plurality of crystallizers are arranged in the crystallization separation system, and the crystallization separators are arranged in parallel, one part of which realizes the crystallization of cyclohexane, and the other part realizes the dissolution of cyclohexane.

[0067] In the present invention, in order to obtain cyclohexane with higher purity, multiple crystallization separation systems are provided, and the crude cyclohexane separated by the previous crystallization separation system is crystallized and dissolved multiple times by the subsequent multiple crystallization separation systems, thereby ensuring the purity of the cyclohexane. At the same time, in order to improve the energy utilization efficiency, an energy recovery system is provided.

[0068] In the present invention, stirring and introducing cooling medium into the crystallizer to provide cooling capacity can achieve uniform crystallization of cyclohexane, prevent blockage of the crystallizer, and further improve the recovery rate of cyclohexane.

[0069] In the present invention, when it is detected that cyclohexane in the crystallizer is crystallized to a certain extent, the uncrystallized crude cyclohexane is discharged from the bottom of the crystallizer. When the crude cyclohexane is completely discharged, the refrigeration system stops providing cold to the crystallization separation system, and switches to the heating system to provide heat to the crystallization separation system, so that the crystallized cyclohexane in the crystallizer is redissolved, thereby achieving complete separation of cyclohexane from other components in light naphtha.

[0070] According to the present invention, the hydrogenation reaction is carried out in at least one reactor 301, each reactor 301 is provided with a feed port at the top, a feed distributor, a catalyst bed, an outlet collector are arranged in sequence from top to bottom inside, and a discharge port is arranged at the bottom;

[0071] The number of at least one reactor 301 is 1-8, preferably 1-4;

[0072] When the number of at least one reactor 301 is more than one, at least one reactor 301 is connected in series, in parallel, or in a combination of series and parallel.

[0073] According to the present invention, the molar ratio of cyclohexane-poor light naphtha 3 to hydrogen 4 is 0.1:99.9 to 90:10;

[0074] The temperature of the hydrogenation reaction is 100-400°C, the pressure is 0.1-1.0MPaG, and the weight space velocity is 0.1-10h -1 ;

[0075] The cooling crystallization temperature is -20~6.5℃, and the heating dissolution temperature is 40~100℃;

[0076] Light naphtha 1 is a fraction at 50-85° C. of at least one of straight-run naphtha, diesel hydrocracked naphtha, wax oil hydrocracked naphtha, catalytic cracking aromatic raffinate, ethylene cracking aromatic raffinate, and coal-based naphtha, wherein the main components of the fraction are C6 alkanes and / or cycloalkanes;

[0077] The cooling refrigerant 20 is selected from at least one of chilled water, cryogenic materials, propane and propylene;

[0078] The heat exchange heating agent 22 is selected from at least one of hot water, fuel gas, steam, and a heat-conducting medium, and is preferably at least one of hot water and a heat-conducting medium.

[0079] In the present invention, the gas-solid hydrogenation catalytic method is adopted, which greatly increases the proportion of cyclohexane in the reaction product and has a significant effect on increasing the yield of cyclohexane.

[0080] In the present invention, a method of crystallization separation+reaction+gas-liquid separation is adopted, which has a low hydrogen-oil molar ratio, a short process, a small device footprint, a low operating cost and a high cyclohexane purity.

[0081] In the present invention, a gas-solid hydrogenation catalytic method and a descending reactor are adopted; a feed distributor is arranged at the inlet of the reactor and an outlet collector is arranged at the bottom, thereby improving the reaction efficiency of generating cyclohexane.

[0082] In the present invention, according to the different crystallization temperatures of light naphtha, the higher the crystallization temperature, the easier it is to crystallize. As can be seen from the table below, the crystallization temperature of cyclohexane is at least 30°C higher than that of several other components with similar boiling points. The difference in crystallization temperature between cyclohexane and other alkanes and cycloalkanes with similar boiling points can be used to separate cyclohexane. At a certain temperature, such as 6°C, cyclohexane crystallizes in a solid form, while other alkanes and cycloalkanes still remain in liquid form, so that the separation of cyclohexane can be easily achieved.

[0084] In the present invention, it should be noted that although the crystallization points of benzene and cyclohexane are very close, the content of benzene in the light naphtha fraction is very small, and cyclohexane and benzene can be separated by a mature solvent extraction process. Therefore, the present invention only considers the separation of cyclohexane from other alkanes and cycloalkanes in light naphtha.
