Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of direct coal liquefaction, and in particular to a direct coal liquefaction system and a direct coal liquefaction method. Background Art
[0002] Since the German chemist Bergius invented the direct coal liquefaction technology in the 20th century, the direct coal liquefaction process has undergone technological progress in different periods. The technological upgrades are mainly reflected in catalysts, circulating solvents, solid-liquid separation, etc., and can be divided into several representative levels of technical stages.
[0003] The development of coal direct liquefaction technology in my country started in the 1950s. The Dalian Petroleum Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the China Coal Research Institute successively carried out research on coal direct liquefaction technology. In the 1990s, the former Shenhua Group developed a coal direct liquefaction high-efficiency catalyst and China Shenhua coal direct liquefaction process with independent intellectual property rights on the basis of fully digesting and absorbing the advantages of various foreign processes. Compared with foreign processes, China Shenhua's coal direct liquefaction process has the advantages of large single-series processing capacity, high oil yield, and good stability. In 2010, the world's first coal direct liquefaction million-ton demonstration unit independently developed and constructed by my country - Shenhua Ordos 1.08 million t / a coal direct liquefaction industrial unit successfully entered commercial operation, marking the entry of coal direct liquefaction into the industrial development stage, and also marking that my country has become the only country in the world that has mastered the core technology of coal direct liquefaction industrialization, and has accumulated rich and valuable experience in engineering construction, industrial operation, localization of large-scale equipment, and development of coal-based special fuels. At present, the million-ton demonstration unit has been successfully operated commercially for more than 10 years, achieving a maximum single operation time of 420 days, far exceeding the design value. However, compared with petrochemical units, there is still much room for improvement. At the same time, it also exposed some problems that need to be solved urgently, such as mineral deposition in the coal direct liquefaction reactor and coal powder deposition at the gas-liquid interface, short operation cycle, low oil yield, etc., which seriously affect the long-term efficient operation and economic benefits of industrial units.
[0004] Both the German IGOR+ process and the Japanese NEDOL process use bubbling bed reactors. After the 150t / d pilot plant built by Japan NEDOL was put into operation, it was found that large particles were deposited at the bottom of the reactor. For this reason, a discharge device was set at the bottom of the reactor to discharge raw coal, coal ash or solid particles that may remain in the reactor from time to time. German IG Company also found mineral deposition in the reactor through industrial tests.
[0005] CN1257252C discloses a method for direct coal liquefaction, which uses a suspended bed reactor with forced circulation at the bottom, which can effectively reduce the deposition of minerals, but the internal structure of the reactor is relatively complex, and a liquid collecting cup and a central tube are provided, and the reactor volume utilization efficiency is low; in order to ensure the normal operation of the circulating pump, there must be a space for gas-liquid separation at the top, so there is a gas-liquid interface, and at the same time, light materials can be separated in time, and secondary cracking of the target product can be avoided to a certain extent. However, the actual operation of the million-ton coal direct liquefaction demonstration device shows that the presence of a gas-liquid interface at the top of the reactor easily leads to coal powder deposition and agglomeration at the top of the reactor, which reduces the gas-liquid separation space, and at the same time, the deposited and agglomerated materials easily fall off and enter the liquid collecting cup, affecting the normal operation of the circulating pump at the bottom of the reactor, deteriorating the mass and heat transfer of materials in the reactor, deteriorating the operating stability, and increasing the risk of large-area coking in the reactor, resulting in the inability of the coal direct liquefaction reactor to achieve long-term operation, which is a key factor affecting the long-term operation of the device. In addition, the reactor used in this process also has an engineering scale-up bottleneck. The forced internal circulation reactor material needs to pass through the liquid collecting cup to enter the top space of the reactor. At this time, the material needs to migrate from the near-wall side to the central discharge port. When the reactor diameter increases and the lateral migration distance becomes longer, the minerals are more likely to separate, resulting in inconsistent mineral content and particle size distribution between the central tube and the reactor discharge port. Mineral deposition is prone to occur, making the reactor unable to operate for a long period of time and restricting the scale-up of a single series. At the same time, the reactor used in this process has poor operating stability and weak anti-interference ability, and is greatly affected by hydrogen flow, raw material feed rate, and circulation pump circulation. Therefore, achieving long-term efficient operation of direct coal liquefaction and improving the scale of a single series are key technical issues that need to be solved urgently.
[0006] China Coal Research Institute Co., Ltd. has disclosed a method and system for direct coal liquefaction (patent number: CN103074097B), in which part of the high-temperature material at the outlet of the second liquefaction reactor is directly returned to the first liquefaction reactor through a circulation pump without gas-liquid separation. In this process, since the material at the outlet of the reactor has not been separated from the gas and liquid, the gas content at the inlet of the circulating material pump is high, the circulating pump is easily evacuated, and the system stability is poor; the reactor used is a bubbling bed, slurry bed or loop reactor without internal components, which has the risk of reactor deposition and coking, thus seriously affecting the long-term stable operation of the system; at the same time, it will cause the light components in the liquefied product at the outlet of the second reactor to enter the reactor again, resulting in secondary cracking of the light products and reducing the yield of liquid products.
[0007] China Shenhua Coal-to-Liquid Chemical Co., Ltd. discloses a coal direct liquefaction method and coal direct liquefaction device (CN108048121B), in which an intermediate separation device and a second reactor feed pump are arranged between the first liquefaction reactor and the second liquefaction reactor, which can reduce secondary cracking, reduce hydrogen consumption and gas yield, and improve coal conversion rate and oil yield. In order to adapt to the above system, corresponding supporting devices must be set, such as a set of separation systems, wear-resistant high-pressure control valves at the bottom of the intermediate separator, etc., which will greatly increase equipment investment and operating costs. After the oil-coal slurry passes through the first reactor, the reaction is not sufficient, the solid content in the material is large, and the content of high-viscosity asphalt substances produced by pyrolysis is high, and deposition and coking are prone to occur during the intermediate separation process. Therefore, this process is not conducive to the long-term stable operation of the system.
[0008] On the basis of the above, China Shenhua Coal to Oil Chemical Co., Ltd. further disclosed a coal direct liquefaction system and a coal direct liquefaction method in CN108998068A. Its coal liquefaction reactor is only a shell without any components inside. Although the gas-liquid interface at the top of the reactor can be eliminated and the coal powder deposition at the top of the reactor can be reduced, the more critical thing is that the distribution plate and other internal components are not considered in the reactor. The three-phase material is unevenly distributed, and a dead zone is easily formed at the bottom, which can easily lead to mineral deposition in the reactor and increase the risk of coal powder agglomeration or coking. The reactor cannot operate normally for a long time.
[0009] To sum up, the engineering practice results of the world's first million-ton coal direct liquefaction unit show that there is an urgent need to solve the technical problems of coal powder deposition and mineral deposition in the reactor during the coal direct liquefaction process that affect the long-term operation of the unit and the reactor and further engineering expansion of the reactor. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent the secondary cracking of light components in the reaction process, improve the yield of target products, realize the long-term operation of the coal direct liquefaction unit and the scale expansion of a single series, promote the large-scale and industrialized development of coal direct liquefaction, further consolidate my country's world leading position in coal direct liquefaction technology, and ensure national energy security.

[0066] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the ratios involved are mass ratios, and the percentages or percentage contents involved are mass percentages or mass percentage contents.
[0067] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0068] 1. The present invention adopts a suspended bed coal direct liquefaction reactor with gas secondary distribution. The internal components of the reactor are arranged at the bottom of the reactor, and there are no internal components above the feed distribution plate. Compared with the forced internal circulation suspended bed reactor currently used in industry, the internal circulation system of the reactor is cancelled, the internal components are simplified, the volume utilization rate of the reactor is significantly improved, the gas-liquid interface at the top of the reaction is eliminated, and coal powder deposition is avoided. The long-term operation of the coal direct liquefaction device can be realized, and the coal powder processing capacity of the device is also improved. In addition, compared with the bubbling bed reactor, the gas retention coefficient of the reactor is low and the reactor processing capacity is high. The bubbling bed reactor is prone to mineral and coal powder deposition and coking reaction.
[0069] 2. The coal direct liquefaction suspended bed reactor adopted in the present invention has a distribution plate with a special structure, which realizes the secondary distribution of gas, liquid and solid, and makes the gas-liquid-solid three-phase flow distribution more uniform while maintaining a high liquid velocity in the reactor, ensuring the stable unidirectional plug flow of the medium in the reactor. More importantly, it avoids mineral deposition and breaks through the bottleneck of reactor engineering amplification, so as to further expand the scale of the device and improve the core competitiveness of direct coal liquefaction; at the same time, the feed distribution plate can generate evenly distributed micron-sized bubbles, which is beneficial to mass transfer and heat transfer in the reaction process and promotes the coal liquefaction reaction.
[0070] 3. By circulating the liquid materials in the hot high-pressure separator between the hot high-pressure separator and the coal direct liquefaction reactor, the one-way reaction time of the raw materials is shortened, the light components are quickly separated in the reaction system, secondary cracking is avoided, the gas yield is low, and the hydrogen utilization efficiency is high. At the same time, the residence time of the heavy components that are difficult to convert is extended, and the efficient synergistic conversion of different microscopic components of coal is achieved, the yield of liquid products is improved, and the economic benefits of direct coal liquefaction are enhanced.
[0071] 4. The outlet product of the coal direct liquefaction reactor is fully separated into gas and liquid in the hot high-pressure separator, which improves the working condition of the circulating pump of the circulating material, the circulation volume is relatively stable, the flow state of the medium in the reactor is less affected by the fluctuation of the raw material and hydrogen flow rate, the system has strong anti-interference ability, the system stability is improved, the reaction system is easy to control and operate, and it is conducive to the long-term stable operation of the device.
[0072] 5. By introducing hydrogen and solvent into the second and third coal direct liquefaction reactors, the partial pressure of hydrogen and the amount of active hydrogen in the reaction system are guaranteed, which is beneficial to the conversion of coal and asphaltene, and ultimately improves the coal liquefaction conversion rate and oil yield. At the same time, the supply of hydrogen and solvent is regulated to accurately control the temperature change of the coal liquefaction reaction unit, prevent temperature runaway, avoid coking inside the reaction unit, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the coal liquefaction reaction unit.
[0073] 6. Under the condition of the same coal slurry processing capacity and coal liquefaction reaction unit processing scale, two coal liquefaction reaction units are connected in series, and the liquefaction reaction temperature rises are about 70-90°C and 35-45°C respectively; three coal liquefaction reaction units are connected in series, and the liquefaction reaction temperature rises are about 60-70°C, 5-20°C and 1-10°C respectively. It can be obviously seen that the three coal direct liquefaction reactors connected in series can effectively reduce the temperature gradient of a single coal direct liquefaction reactor, optimize the reaction load of each reactor, and make it easier to achieve stable control and operation of the coal liquefaction reaction unit. More importantly, it is to avoid the generation of a large number of pyrolysis free radicals of coal powder in the first reactor, and prevent the free radical condensation reaction caused by insufficient hydrogen supply, which is beneficial to the coal liquefaction conversion and the long-term operation of the reactor; at the same time, the smaller the reactor temperature gradient, the higher the average reaction temperature of the reactor, which is beneficial to promote the coal liquefaction conversion.
[0074] 7. By optimizing the design of the hot high-pressure separator structure, setting a washing tower plate and spray on the top, and introducing flushing oil and disturbed hydrogen at the bottom, the technical problems of coking, coal powder deposition and entrainment of solid powder in the gas phase in the hot high-pressure separator are solved, avoiding adverse effects on downstream equipment and pipelines, hydrogenation catalysts, and product quality; at the same time, the solid content of the hot high-pressure separator is controlled, the service life of the high-temperature solid-containing high-differential pressure reducing valve is extended, and the long-term stable operation of the coal direct liquefaction device is ensured.
[0075] 8. Through heat exchange between the oil-coal slurry and the gaseous product at the top of the hot high-pressure separator of the coal direct liquefaction device, the heat load of the oil-coal slurry heating furnace can be reduced, the coking of the oil-coal slurry heating furnace tubes can be avoided, and the operation cycle of the heating furnace can be extended; at the same time, the thermal efficiency of the coal direct liquefaction device can also be greatly improved.

[0117] The study found that controlling the various process conditions of the liquefaction reaction within the above range can reduce construction investment costs and enable the coal liquefaction reaction to be more complete, ensuring a higher coal conversion rate and liquid fuel yield during the liquefaction reaction.
[0118] In the present invention, the first, second and third coal direct liquefaction reactors can be suspended bed reactors with gas secondary distribution; wherein, the internal components in the first coal direct liquefaction reactor 150 are arranged at the bottom of the reactor, including a fresh material distributor 115, a material diffuser 116 and a distribution plate 10 with a bubble distributor 11; the internal components in the second and third coal direct liquefaction reactors are arranged at the bottom of the reactor, including a material diffuser 116 and a distribution plate 10 with a bubble distributor 11; wherein, the material diffuser 116 is arranged at the bottom of the reactor, and the fresh material distributor 115 is arranged between the material diffuser 116 and the distribution plate 10; preferably, there are no internal components above the distribution plate 10, which is conducive to eliminating the gas-liquid interface at the top of the reactor, avoiding coal powder deposition, and the reactor volume utilization rate is high, which is conducive to maintaining a stable unidirectional plug flow in the reactor and extending the reactor operation cycle.

[0120] In the above Figure 4 and 5In the embodiment shown, the feed liquid fed tangentially from the feed pipe 1 generates cyclone diversion in the guide chamber 2, so that the gas phase with lower density is better separated from the liquid phase due to the cyclone separation effect and rises and finally enters the air cushion layer under the distribution plate 10 through the air guide pipe 8, while the remaining gas-liquid mixture enters the distribution pipe 3 under the action of centrifugal force and is ejected from the microbubble nozzle.
[0121] In some other embodiments, the tube diameter of the distribution pipe and / or the aperture of the distribution hole can be further configured to make the total pressure drop of the distribution pipe smaller than the pressure drop of the air duct, so as to facilitate the remaining gas-liquid mixture to enter the distribution pipe. For example, the tube diameter and / or aperture can be relatively increased to reduce the pressure drop, which is well known in the art. Of course, it can be understood in the art that the air duct 8 can also be configured to make its pressure drop greater than the total pressure drop of the distribution pipe 3, such as reducing the diameter of the air duct.
[0122] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the bubble dispenser 11 includes a vertically arranged central tube 12, a bubble 13 at the upper end of the central tube and an air supply pipe connected to the air inlet of the central tube for supplying air to the central tube; the bubble 13 includes a bubble top plate 131 and a bubble side plate 132, and the bubble side plate 132 is connected to the edges of the bubble top plate 131 and extends downward; the upper end of the central tube extends into the bubble 13 and is spaced from the bubble top plate 131 by a preset distance to facilitate the passage of materials; a liquid inlet is provided at the lower end of the central tube; an annular flow channel is formed between the bubble side plate 132 and the central tube 12, and the bubble side plate 132 The lower end is provided with a plurality of gas-liquid distribution slits for gas-liquid discharge; a throat portion 121 is provided in the central tube 12, and the throat portion includes a contraction port, a throat and an expansion port which are sequentially connected from bottom to top; the air supply pipe includes a horizontally arranged air inlet pipe 122 and an air outlet pipe 123 which is vertically arranged in the central tube and coaxially arranged with the throat, and the upper air outlet of the air outlet pipe 123 is in the throat; the air inlet pipe passes through the air inlet of the central tube and is connected to the air outlet pipe; the air inlet pipe is provided with a plurality of, for example 4, air inlet pipes, each of which is respectively connected to the air outlet pipe, and the plurality of air inlet pipes are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the air outlet pipe.

Since the gas supply pipe is arranged in the throat part, it is beneficial to maintain a better gas-liquid mixing and distribution effect at high liquid velocity in the reactor, which is beneficial to promote the coal direct liquefaction reaction.
[0124] In the present invention, the material diffuser 116 at the bottom of each reactor can be a liquid distributor commonly used in the art, for example, its shape can be pagoda-shaped, cylindrical, or polygonal barrel-shaped, and material outlets are evenly distributed on the side wall so that the material fed into the diffuser can be dispersed from the material outlet to the bottom of the reactor.
[0125] The first separation unit
[0126] The first separation unit is connected to the third product outlet 114", and is used to separate the third reaction product to separate the light component oil and non-condensable gas therefrom, and to send a part of the heavy component oil remaining after the separation as a circulating material to the circulating material inlet 113 of the first coal direct liquefaction reactor 150, and the other part to the distillation tower 200.
[0127] In one embodiment, the first separation unit includes a first hot high-pressure separator 180 and a first cold high-pressure separator 190; wherein the first hot high-pressure separator 180 is connected to the third product outlet 114" to receive the third reaction product and separate it, and obtain the light component as the first gas phase from the top, and obtain the heavy component oil as the first liquid phase from the bottom, and then a part of the heavy component oil discharged from the bottom is sent to the circulating material inlet 113 of the first coal direct liquefaction reactor 150 as a circulating material, and the other part is sent to the distillation tower 200, and the first part of the separated light component is sent from the top to the oil-coal slurry heat exchanger 120 of the preheating mixing unit for heat exchange and cooling with the oil-coal slurry, and the second part is sent to the first cold high-pressure separator 190.
[0128] The first cold high-pressure separator 190 is used to separate the first part of the light components and the second part of the light components after heat exchange and temperature reduction, so as to obtain the non-condensable gas as the second gas phase at the top and the light component oil as the second liquid phase at the bottom. A part of the second gas phase can be circulated to the coal direct liquefaction reactor as circulating hydrogen, and the other part can be discharged as tail gas to control the purity of hydrogen supplied by the hydrogen supply unit. The purity of the circulating hydrogen can be greater than 80%, such as greater than 85%.
[0129] In this embodiment, the third reaction product from the third coal direct liquefaction reactor 170 enters the first high temperature and high pressure separator 180 to achieve oil and gas separation, and a part of the heavy component oil separated by the first hot high pressure separator 180 is transported through the circulation pump 103 and enters the first coal direct liquefaction reactor 150, thereby realizing the circulation of the separated materials of the first hot high pressure separator 180 in the coal direct liquefaction process. The light component produced at the top of the first hot high pressure separator 180 enters the first cold high pressure separator 190 after heat exchange and cooling; the temperature of the first cold high pressure separator 190 can be controlled below 50°C, and a part of the non-condensable gas obtained at the top is returned to the coal direct liquefaction reactor as circulating hydrogen, and a part is burned and discharged as tail gas, and light component oil is obtained at the bottom; the light component oil produced at the bottom of the first cold high pressure separator 190 is mixed with another part of the heavy component oil at the bottom of the first hot high pressure separator 180 and enters the distillation tower 200.
[0130] In the present invention, the circulation of the heavy component oil as the circulating material is conducive to reducing the gas retention coefficient in the liquefaction reactor, and the reactor processing capacity is large; a high liquid velocity can be maintained in the reactor, and a distribution plate at the bottom of the reactor is adopted to ensure that the radial three-phase material flow state of the reactor is completely consistent, and the reactor axial stable unidirectional plug flow is avoided, thereby avoiding mineral deposition, breaking through the bottleneck of coal direct liquefaction reactor amplification, improving the processing capacity of the device, and facilitating the realization of single-series scale amplification of coal direct liquefaction device; shortening the one-way residence time of the raw material is conducive to reducing the residence time of the light component, avoiding secondary cracking, reducing the gas yield, increasing the catalyst content in the liquefaction reaction and the reaction residence time of the coal and asphalt substances that are more difficult to convert, realizing efficient synergistic conversion of different microscopic components of coal, promoting coal liquefaction conversion, and improving oil yield.
[0131] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the middle of the first hot high-pressure separator is provided with a feed port 181 for introducing the third reaction product, a gas phase outlet 184 is provided at the top, and a slurry phase material outlet 183 is provided at the bottom; a washing oil spray port 185 and a washing tray 188 are also provided from top to bottom between the gas phase outlet 184 and the feed port 181; a circulating material extraction port 189, a flushing oil inlet 186 and a disturbance hydrogen inlet 187 are also provided from top to bottom between the feed port 181 and the slurry phase material outlet 183, wherein the flushing oil inlet 186 is provided at the center of the first hot high-pressure separator 180 (i.e., on the axis) and the opening is provided downward. Of course, a pressure gauge 182 can be further provided on the upper part of the first hot high-pressure separator 180 to monitor the pressure.
[0132] In the present invention, by arranging a washing tray and a washing oil spray port in the first hot high-pressure separator, it is possible to prevent the solid powder of the rising gas phase in the first hot high-pressure separator from being entrained, and at the same time, an oil film is formed at the gas-liquid interface to prevent the coal powder from being deposited at the gas-liquid interface; in addition, the injection of flushing oil is beneficial to relatively reduce the solid content in the material drawn out from the slurry phase material outlet 183, and increase the solid content of the circulating material drawn out from the circulating material extraction port 189, thereby relatively increasing the catalyst content in the liquefaction reaction and the residence time of the coal and asphalt materials that are more difficult to convert, thereby increasing the coal liquefaction conversion rate and oil yield; at the same time, by injecting disturbed hydrogen and flushing oil, it is also possible to prevent deposition and coking at the bottom of the hot high-pressure separator, thereby extending the service life. Among them, both the washing oil and the flushing oil can be self-produced heavy oil in the system of the present invention.
[0133] In some embodiments, the solid content of the circulating material leaving the first hot high-pressure separator 180 is 10-20%; the solid content of the heavy component oil fed to the distillation tower is lower than that of the circulating material, for example, lower by more than 2%, such as a solid content of ≤10%, preferably ≤8%. By injecting flushing oil, the solid content of the circulating material is relatively increased, and the circulation amount of the circulating material can also be relatively increased, the residence time of the light component can be relatively reduced, and the liquefaction conversion rate and oil yield of the coal can be increased. In the present invention, the feed mass ratio of the circulating material to the oil-coal slurry entering the first coal direct liquefaction reactor can be (0.2-30):1, preferably (1-20):1, such as 2:1, 5:1 or 10:1.
[0134] Distillation tower
[0135] The distillation tower 200 is used to distill and separate the light component oil from the first separation unit and another part of the heavy component oil, so as to obtain coal direct liquefaction crude oil and the remaining coal liquefaction pitch by distillation.

[0241]
[0242]
[0243] Table 2 Coal direct liquefaction results
[0244]
[0245]

[0248] By comparing Example 20 with Example 21, it can be seen that under the same reaction conditions, compared with the conventional bubble cap distributor, the improved distributor of the present invention significantly increases the distilled oil yield and significantly reduces the asphalt yield because the setting of the gas supply pipe is conducive to a better mixing and distribution effect of gas and liquid; compared with Example 21, the distilled oil yield of Example 1 is further significantly increased and the asphalt yield is further significantly reduced;
[0249] By comparing Example 1 with Example 12 and Example 13, it can be seen that the use of the improved first hot high-pressure separator of the present invention promotes the liquefaction conversion of coal, is beneficial to improving the conversion rate and oil yield, and improves the economic benefits of direct coal liquefaction; it is also found that the use of the high-temperature and high-pressure separator described in the present invention significantly reduces the solid content in the product of the direct coal liquefaction device, and the product quality is significantly improved;
[0250] Comparing Comparative Example 1 with Comparative Example 3, the coal direct liquefaction process (forced internal circulation suspended bed reactor) developed by China Shenhua in the early stage, it can be seen that under the same reaction conditions, no solvent is injected after the second reactor, and the conversion rate and oil yield of Shenhua coal are similar in the two, the former is 90.21% and 55.36%, respectively, and the latter is 90.15% and 55.32%, respectively. The gas yields of the two are also basically the same, 13.90% and 13.83% respectively; this is because the China Shenhua process adopts a forced internal circulation suspended bed reactor. In order to ensure the normal operation of the circulation pump, an internal circulation cup is set in the reactor, and there is a gas-liquid separation space at the top of the reactor. The reaction residence time of the heavy component is prolonged, and the light component is quickly separated, which also realizes the efficient synergistic conversion of different microscopic components in the coal. However, since there is a gas-liquid interface at the top of the internal circulation suspended bed reactor with a circulation pump at the bottom, coal powder deposition and coking are prone to occur, which in turn affects the circulation volume of the reactor, and the long-term operation of the device is restricted;
[0251] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that compared with a coal liquefaction system having two liquefaction reactors but no secondary material distribution (e.g., the coal liquefaction system of CN108998068A), the present invention adopts three reactors in series, and the reactor adopts a suspended bed reactor with secondary material distribution, which is beneficial to maintaining a high liquid velocity in the reactor while making the gas-liquid-solid three-phase flow distribution more uniform, and cooperates with the first hot high-pressure separator to separate light products and circulate heavy products, which can effectively solve the problem of secondary cracking of light products easily generated by the use of three reactors and prolong the residence time of heavy products, cooperates with the introduction of hydrogen and solvent at the inlet of the second and third coal direct liquefaction reactors, ensures the hydrogen partial pressure of the coal direct liquefaction reaction and the amount of active hydrogen in the system, promotes the hydrogenation liquefaction reaction of coal and heavy products, and improves the liquefaction conversion rate and oil yield of coal;
[0252] In addition, in the present invention, by using a mixed oil of heavy oil and medium oil with a flexibly adjustable distillation range as the circulating solvent, the distillation range of the medium oil of the circulating solvent can be adjusted according to the product plan, such as the composition requirements of special liquid fuels, thereby achieving flexible and adjustable product plans, improving the market adaptability of the direct coal liquefaction technology and the adaptability of national energy security and national defense security to the demand for special liquid fuels;
[0253] In addition, referring to the above embodiments, the coal liquefaction system of the present invention can achieve good coal liquefaction reaction effect regardless of Shenhua coal or Hami coal, and has wide adaptability to coal types.
[0254] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
