Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of preparing aromatics and olefins from synthesis gas, and in particular to a system and method for simultaneously preparing aromatics and olefins from synthesis gas. Background Art
[0002] The one-step synthesis gas (syngas) to aromatics or olefins (syngas → aromatics / olefins) process is a rapidly developing technology. Its main advantages are a shorter process, lower investment, and lower carbon emissions. Compared with the traditional multi-step synthesis route, where syngas is first used to produce methanol, which is then used to produce aromatics or olefins (syngas → methanol → aromatics / olefins), this one-step process couples the high-pressure, low-temperature reaction environment (typically 4-8 MPa and 180-270°C for methanol synthesis) with a low-pressure, high-temperature reaction environment (typically 0.2-0.5 MPa and 350-500°C for methanol to olefins or aromatics). Currently, CO conversion rates in the one-step synthesis gas to aromatics or olefins process can reach 20%-50%, and aromatics or olefin selectivity can reach 50%-80%. However, challenges remain, such as difficulty matching reaction zones, difficulty designing catalysts, process continuity issues, and the need for continuous improvement in product selectivity. Moreover, when the CO conversion rate increases, the CO2 selectivity is difficult to control, and when the total yield of aromatics or olefins increases, the selectivity of light olefins and light aromatics decreases; these problems have not been well solved in the past decade.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means a limitation on the present invention and its application or use.

In addition, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without carrying out creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] Where specific experimental steps or conditions are not specified in the examples, the conventional experimental steps or conditions described in the prior art in the art may be used. Reagents and other instruments used, for which the manufacturer is not specified, are commercially available conventional reagent products. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely schematic illustrations of embodiments of the present invention and are not necessarily drawn to scale. Identical reference numerals in the figures denote identical or similar parts, and their repeated descriptions will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities.
[0051] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the description of the present invention.
[0052] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0053] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0054] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a system for simultaneously preparing aromatics and olefins from synthesis gas. Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the system structure for preparing aromatics and olefins from synthesis gas provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the system for jointly preparing aromatics and olefins from synthesis gas includes: an aromatics synthesis unit 1, an olefins synthesis unit 3, a light olefin conversion unit 6 and a plurality of separation units; the plurality of separation units include a first separation unit 2, a second separation unit 4, and a third separation unit 5; wherein, the aromatics synthesis unit 1, the first separation unit 2, the olefins synthesis unit 3, the second separation unit 4 and the third separation unit 5 are sequentially connected in series, and the second separation unit 4 is connected to the light olefin conversion unit 6.
[0055] See also Figure 1 The aromatics synthesis device 1 is provided with a first transmission pipeline 7 for inputting synthesis gas into the aromatics synthesis device 1 to carry out catalytic conversion reaction of aromatics. The reaction zone of the aromatics synthesis device 1 is filled with a metal oxide-molecular sieve catalyst ( Figure 1 (not shown); the synthesis gas entering the aromatics synthesis unit 1 is catalytically converted into aromatics under the catalytic action of the metal oxide-molecular sieve catalyst to obtain a first mixed gas containing aromatics; since the catalytic conversion of the synthesis gas into aromatics needs to be carried out under high temperature and high pressure conditions (temperature of 250-380°C, pressure of 2.1-6.1 MPa), the reaction pressure is slightly higher than the pressure conditions required for the catalytic conversion of the synthesis gas into olefins. Therefore, the present invention uses the catalytic conversion of the synthesis gas into aromatics as the starting point of the reaction to design the connection relationship between the various devices in the separation and reaction processes in the system, so that this pressure is continuously utilized by the subsequent separation and reaction processes, and the synthesis energy consumption is greatly reduced.
[0056] In some embodiments, the metal oxide in the metal oxide-molecular sieve catalyst can be selected from one or more of zinc oxide, gallium oxide, and germanium oxide; the molecular sieve can be selected from one or more of ZSM-5, ZSM-11, and ZSM-22.
[0057] See also Figure 1The first separation unit 2 is connected in series with the aromatics synthesis unit 1 via a second transmission pipeline 8 to receive the first mixed gas formed by the reaction in the aromatics synthesis unit 1. The first mixed gas is cooled to liquefy the aromatics and water vapor therein, thereby separating it from the other gases. The generated water is discharged from the first separation unit 2 through a first outlet 18, and the liquefied aromatics are discharged from the first separation unit 2 as a product via a third transmission pipeline 17. The remaining gas in the first separation unit 2 is a second mixed gas composed of unreacted synthesis gas, CO2, and a small amount of alkanes.
[0058] In some embodiments, the first separation device 2 is configured to have a first temperature control device with a temperature control range of -20 to 0° C., thereby liquefying aromatic hydrocarbons and water vapor and separating them from other gases.
[0059] In a specific implementation, the reaction zone of the olefin synthesis unit 3 is filled with a catalyst whose active component is a metal carbide. The olefin synthesis unit 3 is connected in series with the first separation unit 2 via a fourth transmission pipeline 9 to receive the remaining second mixed gas in the first separation unit 2. At the same time, a certain amount of fresh synthesis gas is supplied to the olefin synthesis unit 3 via a fifth transmission pipeline 19 provided in the olefin synthesis unit 3. The olefin synthesis unit 3 uses the fresh synthesis gas and the unreacted synthesis gas in the second mixed gas as reaction raw materials to carry out an olefin conversion reaction under the action of the catalyst, thereby obtaining C1-C 10 Since the pressure required for the olefin conversion process is slightly lower than that for the aromatic conversion process, the olefin synthesis unit 3 only needs to adjust the operating temperature to 250-380°C, without the need for an additional pressure control device, and the conversion can be completed by effectively utilizing the pressure of the aromatic conversion process.
[0060] In some embodiments, the metal carbide catalyst may be selected from one or more of iron carbide, cobalt carbide, and nickel carbide.
[0061] In specific implementation, the second separation device 4 is connected in series with the olefin synthesis device 3 through the sixth transmission pipeline 10 to receive the third mixed gas formed by the reaction in the olefin synthesis device 3, and cool the third mixed gas to reduce the temperature of the water vapor and C5-C 10 The hydrocarbons are liquefied and separated, and the remaining fourth mixed gas containing inorganic gases and C1-C4 hydrocarbons; in some embodiments, the second separation device 4 is provided with a second temperature control device having a temperature control range of -60 to -35 ° C to cool the third mixed gas so that the water vapor and C5-C 10 For hydrocarbon liquefaction purposes.
[0062] See also Figure 1 The second separation device 4 is further provided with a seventh transmission pipeline 14 and a second outlet 15. The seventh transmission pipeline 14 is used to transfer the liquefied C5-C 10The hydrocarbons are transferred to the light olefin conversion unit 6 , and the second outlet 15 is used to discharge the liquefied steam from the second separation unit 4 .
[0063] In specific implementation, the third separation device 5 is filled with an adsorbent, and the third separation device 5 is connected in series with the second separation device 4 through the eighth transmission pipeline 11 to receive the fourth mixed gas remaining in the second separation device 4 and adsorb the C2-C4 hydrocarbons therein, leaving the remaining small molecular gases including H2, CO, CO2 and CH4. Figure 1 The third separation device 5 removes the remaining small molecule gases containing H2, CO, CO2, and CH4 from the third separation device 5 through the third outlet 20. The adsorbent adsorbed with C2-C4 hydrocarbons is desorbed and released after decompression and removed from the third separation device 5 through the ninth transmission pipeline 12 for collection.
[0064] It should be noted that the adsorption process performed in the third separation device 5 is a technique for achieving target gas separation based on the adsorption characteristics of the adsorbed object and the spatial confinement of the adsorbent. In this embodiment of the present invention, the third separation device 5 includes a pressure control device and multiple third separation sub-devices arranged in parallel. When the adsorbent in one of the third separation sub-devices reaches saturation, it switches to another third separation sub-device to continue adsorption. The saturated third separation sub-device is then subjected to pressure swing desorption. Specifically, the pressure in the third separation sub-device is controlled to maintain the pressure between 0.06 and 1 MPa, allowing the C2-C4 hydrocarbon gas adsorbed by the adsorbent to be desorbed and released under a lower pressure. After completing pressure swing desorption, the third separation sub-device can be pressure-controlled by the pressure control device (pressurization can be performed as needed to ensure that the pressure in the desorbed third separation sub-device is consistent with the pressure in the eighth transmission pipeline 11) before it can participate in the C2-C4 hydrocarbon gas adsorption process again.
[0065] In some embodiments, the adsorbent filled in the third separation device 5 is selected from inorganic oxides, molecular sieves or carbon, and the pore size of the adsorbent meets the requirement that more than 85% of the pore size is 0.4-0.5 nm.
[0066] In specific implementation, the light olefin conversion unit 6 is filled with pure molecular sieves or metal-molecular sieve catalysts. It should be noted that the metal-molecular sieve catalysts filled are all low-acid catalysts, and the acidity on the catalyst surface is 0.01%-0.1% of the acidity (0.1-1 mmol / g) of hydrogen-type ZSM-5 (silicon-aluminum ratio 120); that is, the acidity of the pure molecular sieve or metal-molecular sieve catalyst is 10 -5 -10 -3mmol / g; specifically, the metal component in the metal-molecular sieve catalyst can be selected from one or more of gallium, zinc, copper and manganese, and the pure molecular sieve or the molecular sieve in the catalyst can be selected from ZSM-5, ZSM-22 or ZSM-11.
[0067] In specific implementation, the liquefied C5-C 10 Hydrocarbons are converted into C2-C4 olefins and a small amount of aromatics under the action of a low-acid catalyst. This conversion needs to be carried out at 450-600°C. In some embodiments, the light olefin conversion unit is provided with a third temperature control device with a temperature control range of 450-600°C to meet the temperature requirements of the light olefin conversion process.
[0068] Continue to see Figure 1 The light olefin conversion unit 6 is provided with a tenth transmission pipeline 13, which can be partially merged with the ninth transmission pipeline 12 to realize the combined collection of the C2-C4 hydrocarbons obtained after analysis by the third separation unit and the C2-C4 olefins generated in the light olefin conversion unit 6; in addition, the light olefin conversion unit 6 is also provided with an eleventh transmission pipeline 16, which can be partially merged with the third transmission pipeline 17 to realize the combined collection of the aromatic hydrocarbons generated in the light olefin conversion unit 6 and the aromatic hydrocarbons obtained by liquefaction in the first separation unit 2.
[0069] The present invention integrates the two production routes of producing aromatics from syngas and producing olefins from syngas. Compared with the construction of a single system for producing aromatics from syngas and a single system for producing olefins from syngas, the construction investment of the integrated system is effectively reduced. In addition, the present invention first produces aromatics from syngas in an aromatics synthesis unit. Since the production of aromatics from syngas needs to be completed under high pressure, this pressure is continuously utilized in the subsequent separation and production of olefins from syngas, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of the synthesis. In addition, the present invention further separates the C5-C 10 It can convert hydrocarbons into C2-C4 olefins and a small amount of aromatics, effectively improving the olefin yield (yield increased by 5-20%) and increasing the proportion of light olefins in the product gas.
[0070] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for the simultaneous production of aromatics and olefins from synthesis gas, which is applicable to the system for the simultaneous production of aromatics and olefins from synthesis gas described in the first aspect. First, a metal oxide-molecular sieve catalyst is loaded into the reaction zone of an aromatics synthesis unit, a catalyst whose active component is a metal carbide is loaded into the reaction zone of an olefin synthesis unit, and a molecular sieve or a low-acid metal-molecular sieve-based catalyst is loaded into the reaction zone of a light olefin conversion unit; an adsorbent is loaded into a third separation unit; the operating pressure of the aromatics synthesis unit is controlled to be 2.1-6.1 MPa, and the operating temperature is controlled to be 250-380°C; the operating temperature of the first separation unit is controlled to be -20-0°C; the operating temperature of the olefin synthesis unit is controlled to be 250-380°C; the operating temperature of the second separation unit is controlled to be -60--35°C; and the operating temperature of the light olefin conversion unit is controlled to be 450-600°C; and then the simultaneous production of aromatics and olefins is started. Figure 2 The flow chart of the method for preparing aromatics and olefins from synthesis gas provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:
[0071] S1, passing the synthesis gas with an H2 / CO ratio of 1.5:1 to 2.2:1 into an aromatics synthesis unit to convert aromatics to obtain a first mixed gas containing aromatics;
[0072] S2, passing the first mixed gas into a first separation device to liquefy the aromatic hydrocarbons and water vapor in the first mixed gas, and the remaining second mixed gas containing unreacted synthesis gas, CO2 and a small amount of alkanes;
[0073] S3, the second mixed gas is passed into the olefin synthesis unit as the reaction gas, and fresh synthesis gas is further added to carry out olefin conversion reaction to obtain C1-C 10 a third mixed gas of hydrocarbons;
[0074] S4, the third mixed gas is passed into the second separation device, so that the water vapor and C5-C 10 The hydrocarbons are liquefied to leave a fourth mixed gas containing inorganic gases and C1-C4 hydrocarbons;
[0075] S5. Passing the fourth mixed gas into a third separation device, so that the adsorbent in the third separation device adsorbs C2-C4 hydrocarbons in the fourth mixed gas, and the remaining small molecules of gas containing H2, CO, CO2 and CH4;
[0076] S6, the liquefied C5-C 10 The hydrocarbons are fed into the light olefin conversion unit to undergo light olefin conversion reaction to convert C5-C 10 Hydrocarbons are converted into C2-C4 olefins and a small amount of aromatics;
[0077] S7. Combine and collect the C2-C4 olefins generated in the light olefin conversion unit and the C2-C4 hydrocarbons obtained by adsorption in the third separation unit, and combine and collect the aromatics generated in the light olefin conversion unit and the aromatics obtained by liquefaction in the first separation unit.
[0078] In some embodiments, the third separation device may include multiple, parallel third separation sub-devices and pressure control sub-devices, e.g., 2-6. When the adsorbent in one of the third separation sub-devices reaches saturation, the device switches to another third separation sub-device for continued adsorption, and then performs pressure swing desorption on the saturated adsorbent. Specifically, the pressure in the third separation sub-device is maintained at 0.06-1 MPa by manipulating the pressure control sub-device, allowing hydrocarbons with a diameter greater than 0.4 nm (C2-C4 hydrocarbons) adsorbed by the adsorbent to be desorbed and released under a lower pressure. After completing pressure swing desorption, the third separation sub-device can be pressure-controlled by the pressure control device (pressurization can be performed as needed to ensure that the pressure in the desorbed third separation sub-device matches the pressure in the eighth transmission pipeline 11), and then can be used again to adsorb C2-C4 hydrocarbon gas.
[0079] It should be noted that in aromatics synthesis units, the CO single-pass conversion rate is 40-60%, and the aromatics selectivity is 75-90% based on the hydrocarbon base;
[0080] It should also be noted that the volume flow rate of the fresh synthesis gas introduced into the olefin synthesis unit is 3-10 times that of the second mixed gas introduced, so as to facilitate the control of the CO single-pass conversion rate in the olefin synthesis unit to 90-98%; the olefin selectivity is 65%-80% based on the hydrocarbon base, among which the C2-C4 olefin selectivity is 65-85% based on the olefin base.
[0081] In order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the present invention, the system and method for simultaneously preparing aromatics and olefins from synthesis gas provided by the present invention are now described in detail through the following examples.
[0082] according to Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the system structure for preparing aromatics and olefins by syngas is shown, wherein the aromatics synthesis unit 1, the first separation unit 2, the olefin synthesis unit 3, the second separation unit 4 and the third separation unit 5 are connected in series in sequence, and the second separation unit 4 is connected to the light olefin conversion unit 6, thereby forming a complete system. Figure 1 The system for simultaneously preparing aromatics and olefins from synthesis gas is shown.
