Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of crude oil cracking, and in particular to a method and system for preparing light olefins by utilizing microwave cracking and catalytic cracking, and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Crude oil contains saturated components and heavy components (such as aromatic components, colloids and asphaltene, etc.). The heavy components in crude oil entering the cracking furnace will aggravate the coking of the heavy components during the cracking process and affect the yield of olefins.

[0003] CN1041967A discloses a method for decomposing and treating low-grade raw materials. The method comprises the following steps: when thermally decomposing and treating low-grade raw materials containing heavy fractions in a decomposition furnace, the low-grade raw materials are extracted from the preheater of the decomposition furnace, the heavy fractions are separated and removed from the low-grade raw materials by a gas-liquid separation method, and then the low-grade raw materials are returned to the preheater for thermal decomposition reaction. Before the raw materials are cracked, the flash evaporation method is used to treat the crude oil for gas-liquid separation, and the gas phase enters the radiation section for cracking. However, after the raw materials are flashed, at least 5% of the hydrocarbon raw materials remain in the liquid, which affects the yield of light olefins. Moreover, the separated liquid phase is directly used as fuel oil, resulting in a waste of raw materials. Summary of the invention
