Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical utilization of refinery dry gas, specifically to a moving bed microsphere catalyst for propylene production from refinery dry gas, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Refinery dry gas mainly refers to the tail gas from catalytic cracking, catalytic pyrolysis, and delayed coking units, containing hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, ethylene, ethane, etc. Currently, this dry gas is mainly used as low-grade fuel, which is particularly wasteful from a resource utilization perspective. On the other hand, with the popularization of new energy vehicles and the commissioning of several large-scale integrated refining and chemical projects in recent years, refining capacity has become excessive. Newly built refining units tend to choose deep catalytic cracking processes (such as DCC-plus, RTC, etc.) that produce more olefins and have a higher ethylene content in the dry gas. Furthermore, fuel-type refineries that have already been put into operation have also proposed a new goal of transforming into chemical-type refineries. Against the backdrop of the above-mentioned "oil conversion," the recovery and high-value conversion of ethylene in dry gas has become a key focus for enterprises, whether for existing or planned refining and chemical units.
[0003] Currently, there are two main ways to utilize ethylene from dry gas. One is to concentrate the ethylene through methods such as cryogenic separation, membrane separation, pressure swing adsorption separation, and oil absorption separation before feeding it into the ethylene plant. The other is to use the ethylene in the dry gas directly as a raw material for chemical conversion, such as dry gas synthesis to produce isooctene or dry gas to produce ethylbenzene. Of these two technologies, ethylene separation and concentration technology is more suitable for large refineries due to investment and other reasons, and is not very suitable for the oil conversion and upgrading needs of small and medium-sized refineries. On the other hand, existing technologies for direct chemical utilization of dry gas have not been successfully promoted in small and medium-sized refineries due to constraints such as downstream product distribution and supporting utilities. Against this backdrop, developing new dry gas chemical utilization technologies with lower investment, simpler operation, and more flexible and diverse downstream product lines is particularly attractive.
[0004] Olefin disproportionation is the process by which the C=C bonds of olefins are broken down, rearranged, and new molecules are formed under the action of a catalyst. In the field of basic organic chemical raw materials, a typical reaction is as follows: C4 molecules, mainly n-butene, react with excess polymer-grade ethylene to produce propylene through double bond substitution and rearrangement. CN200580045983.X proposes a method for producing propylene from a C4 feed containing 2-butene. This method includes contacting the feed with ethylene under metathesis reaction conditions in a metathesis reaction zone containing a metathesis catalyst of group VIB or VIIB metal oxides to provide an effluent containing propylene. CN202011126304.4 discloses a catalyst particle for olefin disproportionation reaction and its preparation method. The catalyst particle is prepared by layering and integrating a disproportionation catalyst and an isomerization catalyst, exhibiting good catalytic activity and stability when used in olefin disproportionation reaction. While the above methods involve the butene and ethylene disproportionation reaction to propylene and the catalyst, they all use pure ethylene or even polymer-grade ethylene as the ethylene feedstock, without addressing the use of refinery dry gas feedstock. This is mainly because refinery dry gas has a complex composition and many impurities, posing a significant challenge to catalyst stability. CN201510685645.8 pre-treats refinery gas through pressure swing adsorption, dry gas enrichment, and dry gas refining steps, then simultaneously feeds it into a fixed-bed reactor with a C4 feedstock containing butene. Ethylene and butene in the refinery gas are converted to propylene on the surface of the olefin double bond translocation catalyst. After separation, the mixture yields ethane-rich C2 hydrocarbons, which can be directly used as feedstock for ethylene plant cracking furnaces. Although this method proposes using olefin disproportionation to convert ethylene in refinery gas to propylene, its main objective is to obtain ethane-rich feedstock. Therefore, to improve the single-pass conversion rate of ethylene, this method employs a feedstock scheme with a large excess of butene (butene to ethylene molar ratio of (8:1) to (2:1)), which is detrimental to improving the selectivity of propylene in the product. Furthermore, this method does not address the stability of the catalyst in dry gas applications. Summary of the Invention

[0026] A third aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing propylene by disproportionation of dry gas and C4 gas, comprising mixing a dry gas feedstock containing ethylene with a C4 feedstock containing butene, and then reacting the mixture with the aforementioned moving bed microsphere catalyst to obtain propylene.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0031] 1. The catalyst of this invention is a moving bed olefin disproportionation microsphere catalyst containing dual active sites, namely, disproportionation and isomerization active sites. The disproportionation active site catalyzes the reaction of ethylene and 2-butene to produce propylene, while the isomerization active site converts 1-butene to 2-butene. The combined action of these two active sites enables the catalyst to fully convert ethylene and butene in the feedstock. To prevent the loss and overlapping of these two types of active sites during continuous regeneration of the moving bed catalyst, this invention employs a stepwise preparation method to place the disproportionation and isomerization dual active sites onto different supports. Subsequently, the two types of powders containing different active sites are thoroughly mixed with kaolin and rolled to form high-strength spherical olefin disproportionation catalyst particles. The coexistence of the two types of active sites at the micron scale within the same catalyst particle gives the catalyst high activity, selectivity, and excellent regeneration performance.
[0032] 2. The catalyst of this invention is applied to the chemical utilization of dry gas from refineries. Pretreated dry gas, after being mixed with C4, is efficiently converted into propylene in a moving bed reactor loaded with this catalyst. Further separation can yield high-purity propylene. The catalyst exhibits high conversion rate, good selectivity, and excellent regeneration performance. Specifically, the propylene selectivity is over 90%, and the single-pass conversion rate of ethylene in the dry gas is over 50%. The moving bed catalyst effectively solves the problem of olefin disproportionation catalysts being sensitive to impurities in the dry gas from refining plants and prone to poisoning and deactivation, providing a new and viable approach for the chemical utilization of dry gas.

[0071] Catalyst performance evaluation. The catalysts prepared in Examples 5-8 (catalyst AD) and Comparative Examples 1-6 (catalyst EJ) were pressed, crushed, and sieved. 20-40 mesh catalyst samples were loaded into a moving bed reactor with a diameter of 8 mm.

[0076] Catalyst regeneration. The deactivated catalyst was selected for online regeneration. It was sequentially coked and activated at 550°C with air and high-purity nitrogen, respectively, to re-expose active sites. The regenerated catalyst was then evaluated for performance.

In Comparative Example 6 (catalyst J), the moving bed caused gradual stratification of the disproportionate and isomerized catalytic components after regeneration, resulting in a gradual decrease in catalytic activity with each regeneration.
