Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of catalytic conversion of benzene in gasoline, in particular to a method for catalytic conversion of benzene in gasoline, a method for producing gasoline with low benzene content and a reaction system thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the implementation of the national VI clean gasoline standard, the olefin content limit of motor gasoline is reduced from 24% in the national V to 18% in the national VI a stage and 15% in the national VI b stage, the aromatic hydrocarbon content limit is reduced from 40% in the national V to 35%, and the benzene content limit is further tightened from 1.0% in the national V to 0.8%, which is even stricter than the European Union 1.0%. The benzene in the gasoline pool mainly comes from the reforming gasoline and catalytic cracking gasoline which are not subjected to benzene extraction. The benzene content of reforming gasoline is relatively high, generally 2-10 wt%, while the benzene content of catalytic cracking gasoline with high olefin, high sulfur and high nitrogen content is relatively low, generally 0.4-1.0 wt%. The benzene content of straight-run naphtha and hydrocracking naphtha is as low as 0.1-0.5 wt%, and because of the low octane value, it is generally not used as a gasoline blending component. The benzene content of steam cracking gasoline is as high as 20-60 wt%, and because of the high benzene content, it is generally subjected to benzene extraction and used as a chemical material.

[0003] With the deterioration of catalytic cracking feedstock and the strong demand for producing liquefied gas and processing catalytic diesel, the reaction severity is continuously increased, which further leads to a high benzene content in catalytic cracking gasoline. For example, the catalytic cracking units of Tianjin Petrochemical and Jinan Refining process residual oil as raw material to produce hydrocracking diesel and straight-run diesel, and when the liquefied gas production scheme is implemented, the benzene content of the stable gasoline produced is as high as 1.4 wt% or more, and the benzene volume fraction of the gasoline is higher than 1.2%. The benzene content of catalytic cracking gasoline exceeds the standard, which seriously restricts the catalytic cracking unit to process catalytic diesel and increase the production of liquefied gas according to market demand. Therefore, during the chemical transformation and structural adjustment of the refinery, it is urgent to upgrade the gasoline and reduce the benzene content of the catalytic cracking gasoline.

[0004] At present, the mature gasoline benzene reduction scheme mainly targets reforming gasoline, such as distillation, extraction, adsorption and other physical separation methods, and benzene hydrogenation saturation and alkylation chemical methods. Because of the carcinogenicity of benzene, the United States and other North American countries have more stringent restrictions on benzene (<0.6 v%). They usually use physical separation + chemical conversion method to reduce benzene. There are two technical routes for reducing benzene, one is to saturate the aromatic ring by hydrogenation of the benzene-containing fraction of reforming gasoline, and the other is to reduce benzene by alkylation.

[0005] Hydrogenation saturation benzene reduction technology has CD Tech company hydrogenation reactor with product stripping column combined and implemented catalytic distillation hydrogenation saturation reduction benzene(CD Hydro) process, UOP company using Pt-based catalyst Bensat process, IFP and Axens company Benfree process, GTC company GT-BenZapSM process and Neste company NExSAT process. Hydrogenation saturation benzene reduction only has 20 or so device application.

[0006] Benzene containing reforming gasoline alkylation benzene reduction technology mainly has Mobil company developed MBR dense phase fluidized bed process, Exxon Mobil developed liquid phase alkylation BenzOUTTM process. Foreign alkylation benzene reduction more mainstream, there are more than 90 commercial applications. Among them, hydrogenation saturation benzene reduction and liquid phase alkylation benzene reduction are not suitable for high olefin content catalytic cracking gasoline benzene reduction, and currently only MBR dense phase fluidized bed process can realize the mixing of reforming oil benzene rich fraction and catalytic cracking light gasoline feed. Using dense phase fluidized bed and special ZSM-5 catalyst, the raw material is reforming oil benzene rich fraction, and the olefin is catalytic cracking dry gas and other light olefin resources. Under the typical conditions of gas phase alkylation(operation pressure is 1.2-1.5 MPa, temperature is 350℃), the single pass conversion rate of benzene is 60%-70%, and if the material is partially recycled, the total conversion rate can reach 90%. Because the light olefin is converted into gasoline components, the gasoline yield is increased by 7%, and the octane number is increased by 5-10 units. There is also dry gas and benzene alkylation to prepare ethylbenzene technology in China, but mainly using pure benzene and ethylene in dry gas to produce ethylbenzene or styrene.

[0007] Ethylene as a basic chemical material, resource shortage. After research found that methanol and other low carbon alcohol can also be with benzene alkylation reaction. For benzene and low carbon alcohol alkylation reduce benzene patent technology, patent CN200910236630.8 published a kind of catalytic conversion method for reducing the benzene content of gasoline, benzene containing gasoline and alcohol are contacted with catalytic cracking catalyst in fluidized bed and / or riser reactor, the benzene content of gasoline can be reduced by more than 60% by volume. CN200910043913.0 published a kind of method for reducing the benzene content of benzene containing gasoline, benzene containing gasoline and methanol are subjected to alkylation reaction in the fixed bed reactor with catalyst, the benzene content of benzene containing gasoline is reduced from 20-60wt% to 3-7wt%. CN201710342646.1 published a kind of method for reducing the benzene content of benzene rich gasoline, benzene rich gasoline, methanol and hydrogen are reacted with modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve, MCM-56 molecular sieve and beta molecular sieve alkylation catalyst to reduce benzene, improve the utilization rate of methanol > 99%. There are also patents that FCC gasoline benzene and low carbon alcohol alkylation and catalytic cracking coupling patent technology, patent CN201010296622.5 published a kind of catalytic conversion method for reducing the benzene content of gasoline, benzene containing gasoline and alcohol are contacted with catalytic cracking catalyst in multiple reaction zones, the volume content of benzene can be reduced by more than 65%.

[0008] Domestic and foreign benzene reduction patents and foreign hydrogen saturation benzene reduction and liquid phase alkylation benzene reduction technology are all aimed at reducing benzene in reforming gasoline fraction with low olefin and without sulfur, nitrogen and water, and are not suitable for reducing benzene in catalytic cracking gasoline with high olefin, high sulfur and nitrogen content and relatively low benzene content. At present, there is no mature and low cost efficient method for reducing benzene content of catalytic cracking gasoline at home and abroad. Therefore, the catalytic cracking unit in the execution of processing hydrogenation catalytic diesel or high yield of liquefied gas production scheme all have the problem of exceeding the standard of stable gasoline benzene content, as high as 1.2v% or more, and it is urgent to develop a production method for reducing the benzene content of catalytic cracking gasoline.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0070] The application will be further described in detail by the accompanying drawings and examples. The features and advantages of the application will become more apparent through these descriptions.

[0071] The word "exemplary" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any implementation described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other implementations. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the drawings are not drawn to scale and the depiction of an embodiment in a drawing does not imply a certain orientation of the embodiment in use or operation.

[0072] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.

[0073] The inventors of the present application have found through years of research that: (1) the benzene content of high-benzene catalytic cracking gasoline is 0.8-2.0 wt%, which is mainly distributed in the intermediate gasoline fraction of 60-90℃, so the present application adopts distillation cutting to obtain the benzene-rich intermediate fraction for separate processing; (2) in the alkylation of benzene with low-carbon alcohol, it is necessary to maintain the alcohol / benzene molar ratio within a certain range, such as 0.2-7.0:1, in order to maintain a relatively high benzene conversion rate; (3) the benzene-rich intermediate fraction of catalytic cracking gasoline has not only a high olefin content and a low octane number, but also a high content of sulfur and nitrogen and a relatively low benzene content, so the present application adopts a mesoporous molecular sieve catalyst to catalyze the alkylation of benzene in the benzene-rich intermediate fraction with low-carbon alcohol, which can not only reduce the benzene content of catalytic cracking gasoline, but also increase the octane number of gasoline and produce more liquefied gas; (4) the benzene-rich intermediate fraction of catalytic cracking gasoline has a high olefin content, which is easy to coke and deactivate during alkylation, so the coked catalyst can be regenerated by burning in an oxygen atmosphere, and the regenerated catalyst can be recycled for use, which not only realizes continuous production, but also maintains a relatively high activity of the catalyst; (5) the flue gas after regeneration of the coked catalyst is exchanged with the main air, which not only makes full use of the oxygen in the flue gas, but also further solves the problem of heat carried out of the reaction-regeneration system by the flue gas, and reduces the emission of waste gas such as carbon dioxide.

[0074] Based on the above findings, the present application provides a method for reducing benzene in gasoline by catalytically alkylating benzene in a benzene-rich gasoline fraction with low-carbon alcohol using a graded mesoporous molecular sieve catalyst, i.e. the benzene-rich intermediate fraction is obtained by high-precision distillation cutting of benzene-rich gasoline, and then introduced into a moving bed, fixed bed or fluidized bed reactor, and contacted with low-carbon alcohol non-hydrogen or hydrogen in the presence of a graded mesoporous molecular sieve catalyst at a suitable temperature and pressure to perform catalytic alkylation; the coked and deactivated catalyst is regenerated in an oxygen-containing regeneration system, and part and / or all of the high-temperature flue gas after regeneration is returned to the regenerator; thus realizing self-heat balance of the gasoline benzene alkylation reaction and continuous regeneration, achieving a high conversion rate of benzene in the presence of a highly active catalyst, and realizing efficient continuous production.

[0148] Example 1

[0149] This example was tested according to the procedure shown in Figure 1 , using the feedstock oil B in Table 1, i.e. a benzene-rich fraction of catalytic cracking gasoline, as the raw material, and performing alkylation reaction with fractional injection of methanol in a moving bed reactor, using CAT-A1 catalyst.

[0150] As shown in Figure 1 , in this example, benzene-rich gasoline 1 was subjected to high-precision distillation cutting in rectifying column VII to obtain an aromatic hydrocarbon-free gasoline light fraction la, a benzene-rich gasoline intermediate fraction lb, and a benzene-rich gasoline heavy fraction lc. The benzene-rich gasoline intermediate fraction lb was generally controlled to have a distillation range of 60-90°C, and to have more than 50% benzene in the gasoline.

[0151] The benzene-rich gasoline intermediate fraction lb is fed into the lower part of the moving bed reactor I to contact the catalyst and react with the low carbon alcohol injected from the bottom, middle and upper parts of the reactor, and the spent catalyst is separated from the oil gas and regenerated, and the flue gas from the regeneration is partially recycled back to the regenerator. The process flow is as follows:

[0152] The benzene-rich gasoline intermediate fraction lb is fed into the lower part of the reactor I to contact the catalyst and react with the low carbon alcohol stream I2 fed from the bottom of the reactor I, and a fluidizing medium 3 can be injected into the bottom of the reactor according to the need for fluidization of the catalyst; after the first stage of reaction, the low carbon alcohol stream II 4 and the low carbon alcohol stream III 5 injected from the middle and upper parts of the reactor are further contacted to strengthen the alkylation of benzene; the spent catalyst is separated from the oil gas through the oil catalyst filter separator IV, and after settling, the separated catalyst is fed into the gasoline exchanger 24 through the spent catalyst delivery line I 10, and after stripping with nitrogen and / or steam, it is fed into the regenerator II through the spent catalyst delivery line II 11; the spent catalyst is regenerated in the regenerator under an oxygen-containing atmosphere, and the oxygen-containing regeneration gas 15 includes air, oxygen, etc., and the regeneration temperature is 500-600°C; the regenerated catalyst is returned to the reactor I through the regenerated catalyst delivery line I 12 and the regenerated catalyst delivery line II 13 for recycling; part of the flue gas 16 from the regeneration is recycled back to the regenerator through the flue gas circulation line 17; the separated reaction oil gas is fed into the oil gas separation system III through the reaction oil gas line 6, and the products dry gas 7, liquefied gas 8 and gasoline 9 are obtained by separation.

[0153] The catalytically cracked gasoline feedstock A is distilled and cut using a rectifying column VII with 30 trays (theoretical tray number 18), and a benzene-rich 60-90°C intermediate fraction is obtained by withdrawing from the middle section of the column to obtain feedstock B, with a yield of 16.0%. This cutting method consumes 21.59 kg EO / t of feedstock.

[0154] The feedstock B is preheated to 180°C and then fed into the lower part of the moving fluidized bed reactor I to react with methanol, under a reaction pressure of 0.5 MPa, nitrogen is used as the fluidizing medium, which flows from bottom to top, methanol is injected three times in the lower, middle and upper regions of the reactor, and the molar ratio of methanol to benzene in the reaction system is maintained at not less than 0.5, the reaction temperature (the outlet temperature of the upper part of the reactor is used as the criterion, the same below) is 500°C, the mass ratio of catalyst to feedstock oil is 1.5, the weight hourly space velocity is 10.0 h -1The alkylation reaction was carried out under the conditions; after the reaction, the oil agent was separated, the separated reaction oil gas was subjected to product separation through a separation system to obtain dry gas, liquefied gas and gasoline product; the spent catalyst after oil agent separation was subjected to nitrogen stripping to remove the oil gas adsorbed therein and then was sent to the regenerator, oxygen was used as the regeneration gas, and the spent catalyst was contacted at a regeneration temperature of 500°C to carry out regeneration; the regenerated catalyst was recycled, and part of the flue gas after regeneration was recycled, the circulating flue gas temperature was 400°C, and the dense phase temperature in the regeneration was maintained at 500°C. The operating conditions and product distribution are listed in Table 3.

[0155] As can be seen from Table 3, in Example 1, the benzene-rich fraction of catalytic cracking gasoline with a benzene content of 7.68% and an octane value RON 83.6 was subjected to alkylation reaction with graded injection of methanol in a moving bed reactor, the benzene conversion rate was 94.43%, the gasoline yield was 75.62%, the benzene content of gasoline was reduced to 0.54%, the octane value RON 89.7 was increased by 6.1 units, and the liquefied gas yield was as high as 17.71%.

[0156] The gasoline was cut, the benzene-rich fraction was subjected to moving bed alkylation, and then was mixed with the cut residual gasoline, taking the full-range catalytic cracking gasoline raw oil A as a benchmark, the benzene conversion rate was 67.85%, the benzene content of gasoline was reduced to 0.54%, and the gasoline + liquefied gas yield was 98.90%.

[0157] Comparative Example 1

[0158] By using the catalytic cracking gasoline raw oil A without cutting as the raw material, and using the same process conditions as in Example 1 to carry out alkylation reaction, the differences are as follows: 1) the riser reactor is used in Comparative Example 1, and methanol is only injected at the bottom of the reactor; 2) the conventional catalytic cracking catalyst CGP is used in Comparative Example 1; 3) the raw oil A-catalytic cracking gasoline is not cut, and the full-range fraction is directly mixed with methanol for feeding; 4) air is used as the regeneration gas, and the flue gas is not recycled; in order to maintain the same process conditions as in Example 1 in the operation of the reaction-regeneration system, it is necessary to provide heat by spraying combustion oil in the regenerator. The operating conditions and product distribution are listed in Table 3.

[0159] As can be seen from Table 3, compared with Comparative Example 2 (full-range gasoline without cutting is subjected to alkylation in a riser reactor), the benzene conversion rate in Example 2 (gasoline is cut, and the benzene-rich fraction is subjected to moving bed alkylation, and then is mixed with the cut residual gasoline) is 29.99 percentage points higher, the benzene content of gasoline is 0.54 percentage points lower, and the gasoline + liquefied gas yield is 3.18 percentage points higher.

[0160] Example 2

[0161] This example was carried out according to the process conditions in Example 2. Figure 2The process flow of Example 2 was tested using heavy feedstock oil C in Table 1 as the raw material, and the catalytic cracking gasoline D obtained by cracking was cut into a gasoline benzene-rich fraction E by high-precision distillation. The heavy feedstock oil C and the gasoline benzene-rich fraction E were respectively tested in the riser reactor and the moving bed reactor, and catalysts CGP and CAT-A1 were respectively used.

[0162] Figure 2 The process flow of Example 2 is shown in the figure, and the same as Example 1 is that the benzene-rich fraction of gasoline is alkylated in the moving bed reactor I, and different from Example 1 is that the heavy feedstock oil 19 enters the conventional riser reactor, and the catalyst after the benzene alkylation reaction and the catalyst after the heavy oil catalytic cracking reaction can each be stripped and then enter the same regenerator, or can share a settler for stripping. In this example, both of them use a settler. The process flow is as follows:

[0163] The heavy feedstock oil 19 is atomized by steam and then fed into the lower part of the heavy oil cracking reactor VI to contact the catalytic cracking catalyst for cracking reaction. The separated reaction oil gas enters the oil gas separation system III through the reaction oil gas pipeline 6, and the products dry gas 7, liquefied gas 8, gasoline 9, diesel 22 and oil slurry 23 are obtained by separation. The gasoline 9 is separated into the self-produced gasoline benzene-rich fraction 25 and the low-benzene gasoline 26 by the gasoline rectification tower V. The self-produced gasoline benzene-rich fraction 25 is partially recycled or not returned to the reactor I as needed, and the low-benzene gasoline 26 is discharged from the device for use in the gasoline pool blending. The benzene-rich gasoline intermediate fraction 1b of the self-produced gasoline benzene-rich fraction 25 and the optional benzene-rich gasoline from the rectification tower is fed into the reactor I at the lower part of the reactor to contact the catalyst, and is subjected to alkylation reaction with the low-carbon alcohol stream I2 fed from the bottom of the reactor. After the first stage of reaction, it is further contacted with the low-carbon alcohol stream II 4 and the low-carbon alcohol stream III 5 injected from the middle and upper parts of the reactor to strengthen the alkylation of benzene. The spent catalyst and oil gas after the alkylation reaction are separated by the oil catalyst filter separator IV, and the separated catalyst is settled and then fed into the heavy oil cracking reactor VI through the spent catalyst conveying pipeline I 10. After being stripped in the steam exchanger 24 by nitrogen and / or steam 14, the spent catalyst is fed into the regenerator II through the spent catalyst conveying pipeline II 11. The spent catalyst is regenerated in the oxygen-containing atmosphere in the regenerator II, and the oxygen-containing regeneration gas 15 includes air, oxygen and the like. The regeneration temperature is 600-700℃. The regenerated catalyst is recycled. The regenerated catalyst is conveyed to the heavy oil cracking reactor VI through the regenerated catalyst conveying pipeline I 12 and to the reactor I through the regenerated catalyst conveying pipeline II 13. The separated reaction oil gas enters the oil gas separation system III through the reaction oil gas pipeline 6 for product separation. It should be noted that the alkylation catalyst is supplemented into the reactor I through the catalyst supplementing pipeline 18, and since the alkylation catalyst is also a propylene additive or octane improver for heavy oil cracking, the amount of the alkylation catalyst entering the heavy feedstock oil cracking reactor needs to meet the demand for benzene alkylation and heavy oil cracking.

[0164] The heavy feed oil preheated to 200°C was lifted to the bottom of the riser reactor, contacted with the catalytic cracking catalyst to perform the cracking reaction, under the reaction pressure of 0.3 MPa, water vapor was used as the fluidizing and atomizing medium, and the fluidizing medium flowed from bottom to top, under the reaction temperature (the temperature at the upper part of the reactor, i.e. the outlet temperature, the same below) of 540°C, the mass ratio of catalyst to feed oil of 7.4, the mass ratio of atomizing water to feed oil of 11.8, the weight hourly space velocity of 20.0 h -1 The cracking reaction was performed under the above conditions.

[0165] The gasoline D obtained by catalytic cracking of the heavy feed oil was subjected to high-precision distillation cutting by using the rectifying column 1 with 30 layers of plates (theoretical plate number 15) and the rectifying column 2 with 50 layers of plates (theoretical plate number 25), the light gasoline fraction at the bottom of the rectifying column 1 was introduced into the rectifying column 2, and the 60-90°C middle fraction rich in benzene, i.e. the gasoline fraction E rich in benzene, was extracted at the top of the rectifying column 2, and the yield of the gasoline fraction E rich in benzene accounted for 29.4% of the catalytic cracking gasoline D. The cutting mode had the energy consumption of 14.66 kg EO / t of feed. The properties of the catalytic cracking gasoline D and the gasoline fraction E rich in benzene are shown in Table 1.

[0166] The gasoline fraction E rich in benzene was preheated to 300°C and introduced into the lower part of the moving fluidized bed reactor I, and subjected to alkylation reaction with ethanol, hydrogen was used as the fluidizing medium, and the fluidizing medium flowed from bottom to top under the reaction pressure of 0.3 MPa, ethanol was injected in three times in the lower, middle and upper three regions of the reactor, and the molar ratio of ethanol to benzene in the reaction system was maintained to be not less than 1.0, the alkylation reaction was performed under the reaction temperature of 450°C, the mass ratio of catalyst to feed oil of 1.5, and the weight hourly space velocity of 10.0 h -1 After the reaction, oil agent separation was performed.

[0167] The separated reaction oil gas was introduced into the oil gas separation system through the reaction oil gas pipeline, and product dry gas, liquefied gas, gasoline, diesel and oil slurry were separated, the gasoline was further separated into the self-produced benzene-rich gasoline and the low-benzene gasoline through the gasoline rectifying column, and the self-produced benzene-rich gasoline (i.e. the gasoline fraction E rich in benzene) was recycled back to the reactor.

[0168] The gasoline fraction E rich in benzene after the alkylation oil agent separation was introduced into the heavy oil cracking oil gas pipeline, the separated catalyst was introduced into the settling section of the heavy feed oil catalytic cracking reactor, and after the stripping of the oil gas adsorbed inside by water vapor, the catalyst was sent into the regenerator; air was used as the regeneration gas, and the regenerated catalyst was contacted with the spent catalyst to perform the regeneration under the dense phase temperature of 650°C in the regenerator; the regenerated catalyst was recycled, and the flue gas after the regeneration was not recycled.

[0169] The operating conditions and product distribution are shown in Table 4.

[0170] As can be seen from Table 4, in Example 2, the benzene content of the gasoline rich in benzene fraction is 7.72%, the octane number RON of the gasoline is 82.4, the conversion rate of benzene after alkylation of the gasoline rich in benzene fraction is 83.60%, the benzene content of the gasoline is reduced to 1.19%, the octane number RON of the gasoline is increased to 87.0, and the liquefied gas yield is 2.78%; the gasoline rich in benzene fraction is not calculated as the raw material after alkylation as a recycle, then the liquefied gas yield of the heavy oil catalytic cracking is 28.19% by weight, the gasoline yield is 34.41% by weight, the olefin content of the gasoline is 8.38% by weight, the benzene content of the gasoline is 0.56% by weight, and the octane number RON of the gasoline is 97.8.

[0171] As can be seen from Example 1 and Example 2, the method of the present application can effectively reduce the benzene content in the gasoline rich in benzene fraction under the conditions of hydrogenation and non-hydrogenation, the conversion rate of benzene is high, and good benzene reduction effect is achieved.

[0172] Comparative Example 2

[0173] By using the same heavy oil C as the raw material, the same catalyst and process conditions as those in Example 2 for cracking reaction, and the gasoline rich in benzene fraction obtained by cutting the heavy oil cracking product is subjected to alkylation reaction with ethanol, the difference lies in that: 1) the gasoline rich in benzene fraction obtained by cutting the heavy oil in Comparative Example 2 accounts for 13.17% of the heavy oil feed; 2) the gasoline rich in benzene fraction is mixed with ethanol and fed into the upper part of the riser reactor for recycling. The operating conditions and product distribution are shown in Table 4.

[0174] As can be seen from Table 4, compared with Comparative Example 2 (alkylation of the gasoline rich in benzene fraction with ethanol in the upper part of the riser reactor), the benzene content of the gasoline in Example 2 (alkylation of the gasoline rich in benzene fraction with ethanol in the moving bed) is 1.09 percentage points lower, the octane number RON is 1.3 units higher, and the liquefied gas yield is 8.09 percentage points higher.

[0175] The above describes the present application in combination with preferred embodiments, but these embodiments are only exemplary and are used for illustrative purposes. On this basis, various substitutions and improvements can be made to the present application, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
