Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of petrochemical industry, and in particular to a method for producing low-sulfur petroleum coke, a device for producing low-sulfur petroleum coke, and a negative electrode material. Background Art

[0002] Petroleum coke, a solid product obtained from delayed coking units in oil refineries, is an irreplaceable raw material for a variety of industries, including glass, steel, and electrolytic aluminum. The quality of petroleum coke is significantly influenced by the type of crude oil processed by the refinery, as most of the sulfur and impurities in the crude oil are concentrated in the petroleum coke. Petroleum coke is categorized by sulfur content. Low-sulfur petroleum coke with a sulfur content of 3% or less is primarily used in the steel and aluminum industries for electrode production. High-sulfur coke with a sulfur content exceeding 3% is considered an economical alternative to thermal coal, primarily used in the cement, power, and steel industries. In most countries around the world, high-sulfur petroleum coke is still primarily used as a fuel for power plants. High-quality, low-sulfur petroleum coke is widely used in the steel, aluminum, and carbon industries, significantly increasing its value.

[0003] As the trend toward heavier oil resources continues to intensify, my country's crude oil imports, particularly high-sulfur crude oil, are gradually increasing, and the production of high-sulfur petroleum coke is also increasing. Reducing the sulfur content of coking feedstock is the key to reducing high-sulfur coke production and producing low-sulfur coke.

[0004] CN103102986A discloses a combined process for residue hydrotreating and delayed coking. Residue oil, coker gas oil, and hydrogen are mixed and reacted in a hydrotreating unit. The resulting hydrotreated residue oil and vacuum gas oil are then separated and mixed or mixed with other conventional feedstocks and fed into a delayed coking unit. The coking products are then separated, with the coker gas oil being recycled to the residue hydrotreating unit. While this method can produce low-sulfur petroleum coke, it imposes strict restrictions on the asphaltene and metal content of the feed.

[0005] CN103059997A discloses a combined process of residue hydrotreating and delayed coking. The residue hydrotreating utilizes an ebullated-bed hydrotreating process, including: The liquid phase product of the residue feedstock after ebullated-bed hydrotreating is directly fed into a coking fractionation tower without fractionation, where it is countercurrently contacted with the oil and gas generated by the coking process, eluting coke powder carried by the high-temperature oil and gas. The light fractions generated by the hydrogenation are then discharged from the unit together with the light fractions generated by the coking process, and the fractions above the wax oil are recycled back to the delayed coking unit. This method combines ebullated-bed residue hydrotreating with delayed coking, but the limited domestic industrial application of ebullated-bed residue hydrotreating units limits the widespread application of this process. Summary of the Invention

[0029] A first aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing low-sulfur petroleum coke, the method comprising the following steps:

[0030] (1) subjecting the feedstock oil and the catalyst to a hydrodesulfurization treatment in the presence of hydrogen to obtain a gas component and a liquid-solid component; the catalyst is selected from at least one complex formed by a coordination bond between an active metal and an organic ligand;

[0032] (3) coking the heavy component to obtain low-sulfur petroleum coke.

[0033] The inventors of the present invention have discovered through research that the problem of high sulfur content in petroleum coke faced by the delayed coking process can be solved by adopting a combined process of hydrodesulfurization and delayed coking. Therefore, a combined process of hydrodesulfurization and delayed coking suitable for producing low-sulfur petroleum coke is provided, which not only solves the outlet of high-sulfur feedstock oil, improves resource utilization, and reduces environmental pollution; at the same time, a specific catalyst is used, which has high oil phase dispersibility and hydrodesulfurization selectivity, and directionally adsorbs and desulfurizes sulfur-containing compounds in the feedstock oil, ensuring a high desulfurization effect while maintaining a certain residual carbon content, avoiding over-saturation of heavy aromatic components due to desulfurization, thereby improving the yield of low-sulfur petroleum coke.

[0034] At the same time, the solid-containing tail oil fraction is split into two streams. The first stream is calcined to produce a metal residue that effectively recovers the catalyst and metals from the feed oil. The second stream is returned for hydrodesulfurization (i.e., the unconverted oil is recycled), further improving the feed oil conversion rate and reducing costs. This setup effectively solves the problem of discarded solids disposal.
