Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of petrochemical industry, and particularly relates to a method for treating hydrocarbon oil. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, environmental protection regulations on automobile exhaust emission are becoming increasingly strict, and the requirements for benzene content in gasoline are also increasingly high in the world. The demand for clean oil products with low benzene content is increasingly obvious. The current implemented national VI gasoline quality standard GB 17930-2016 stipulates that the volume fraction of benzene in gasoline is not greater than 0.8%, and stipulates that the sulfur content in gasoline is below 10 micrograms per gram. Since benzene has strong carcinogenic effect, the benzene content in gasoline may be further reduced in future quality specifications.

[0003] The main sources of catalytic gasoline pool include catalytic cracking gasoline, reforming gasoline, alkylated oil, etc. In China, the proportion of catalytic cracking gasoline in the gasoline pool is as high as about 70%, so reducing the benzene and sulfur content in catalytic cracking gasoline can become the basis for ensuring the qualification of the benzene and sulfur content in the gasoline pool. Moreover, reforming gasoline as a high octane component of the gasoline pool must also strictly control the benzene content therein before blending.

[0004] CN101451076A discloses a method for reducing the benzene content in gasoline. The method performs transalkylation reaction of gasoline or benzene-rich fraction in gasoline with multi-alkyl benzene raw material under the action of a solid acid catalyst, which can significantly reduce the benzene content in gasoline without octane loss, gasoline yield loss, and subsequent separation.

[0005] CN103725312A discloses a catalytic conversion method for reducing the benzene content in benzene-rich gasoline component. The method can reduce the problems caused by excessively high reaction temperature, excessively low pressure, and excessively low mass ratio of by-product benzene gasoline component to methanol in the alkylation reaction of benzene-rich gasoline component with methanol.

[0006] The method for reducing the benzene content in hydrocarbon oil can adopt alkylation process, and can also adopt hydrogenation method to hydrogenate and saturate the benzene-rich fraction. For example, the Bensat process developed by UOP Company can treat the benzene-rich fraction of reforming generated oil. The benzene in the benzene-rich fraction is selectively hydrogenated and saturated into cyclohexane on a high-selectivity fixed-bed catalyst. The process only needs slightly more than stoichiometric hydrogen, but needs to use noble metal Pt as the catalyst, which has high cost.

[0007] However, the benzene content and sulfur content in the hydrocarbon oil obtained by the existing hydrocarbon oil conversion method still need to be further reduced. SUMMARY
