Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of adsorption separation, and specifically to a method for adsorption separation of n-alkanes from C10-C25 distillate oil. Background Technology

[0002] C10-C13 n-alkanes are mainly found in kerosene fractions, while C14-C25 n-alkanes are mainly found in diesel fractions. C10-C13 n-alkanes are the main component of light liquid waxes and are primarily used to produce straight-chain alkylbenzenes and fatty alcohols. C14-C20 n-alkanes are the main component of heavy liquid waxes and can be used to produce high-value-added products such as petroleum ester plasticizers, chlorinated paraffins, higher fatty alcohols, cosmetics, and synthetic petroleum proteins. N-alkanes above C20 are the main component of solid paraffins. High-purity n-alkanes in paraffins can be used as latent heat storage materials and are widely applied in high-tech systems such as aviation, aerospace, and microelectronics, as well as in energy-saving building applications. The dewaxed oil remaining after separating n-alkanes can be used as low-pour-point kerosene or diesel. Therefore, the separation of n-alkanes and non-n-alkanes in kerosene and diesel fractions has significant practical implications.

[0003] Kerosene and diesel oil have relatively wide boiling ranges, and the boiling point differences between their isomers are very small, making it impossible to separate liquid waxes using distillation. 5A molecular sieves have an effective pore size of approximately 0.51 nm, allowing n-alkanes with diameters smaller than 0.50 nm to pass through, while isoalkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics with diameters larger than 0.51 nm are rejected. Therefore, adsorption separation using 5A molecular sieves is an effective method for extracting liquid waxes.

[0004] Chinese industry standard NB / SH / T 0417-2013 stipulates that the aromatic content in light liquid wax should be less than 0.4% by mass, and the purity of n-alkanes should be greater than 98.5% by mass. Aromatic molecules have a relatively large diameter and will not enter the micropores of 5A molecular sieves. However, due to their strong polarity, a small amount of aromatics will be adsorbed on the surface of the adsorbent, which makes it difficult to reduce the aromatic content of n-alkanes. Furthermore, with increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, the restrictions on aromatics in n-alkane products may become even stricter in the future.

[0005] n-Alkanes with different carbon numbers can be adsorbed by 5A molecular sieves. However, as the carbon number increases to more than 11, the mass transfer rate of n-alkanes shows a significant downward trend, which makes it difficult to improve the recovery rate of high carbon number n-alkanes.

[0006] CN91101507.8 discloses a method for improving the yield of long-chain n-alkanes. This method uses 5A molecular sieve adsorbent, C5-C8 n-alkanes as desorbents, and applies liquid-phase simulated moving bed technology to adsorb and separate C10-C35 n-alkanes. The key feature is the injection of low-carbon-number non-straight-chain hydrocarbons before or during feed to reduce the concentration of desorbent in the adsorbent bed, thereby mitigating competitive adsorption between the desorbent and long-chain n-alkanes in the feed and increasing the yield of the latter. However, the low-carbon-number non-straight-chain hydrocarbon stream introduced in this invention requires additional fractionation equipment for recovery, thus increasing investment and energy consumption.

[0007] CN201610825766.2 discloses a method for adsorbing and separating n-alkanes from C8-C22 n-alkanes and isoalkanes. This method involves passing the feedstock through a first adsorption separation zone, a second adsorption separation zone, and a third adsorption separation zone in a single pass. The first adsorption separation zone is filled with 5A molecular sieves, primarily adsorbing C8-C14 n-alkanes; the second adsorption separation zone is filled with HY molecular sieves, primarily adsorbing C15-C18 n-alkanes; and the third separation zone is filled with 13X molecular sieves, primarily adsorbing C19-C22 n-alkanes. However, the adsorption strength of HY and 13X molecular sieves for aromatics is much greater than that for alkanes; therefore, this method is not suitable for separating feedstocks containing aromatics.

[0058] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached figures

[0059] 101-112 Adsorption Column Detailed Implementation

[0060] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0061] This disclosure provides a method for adsorption separation of n-alkanes from C10-C25 distillate oils, the method comprising the following steps:

[0062] S1. The C10-C25 distillate oil is brought into first contact with the adsorbent to obtain a material to be desorbed containing C10-C25 n-alkanes and the adsorbent, as well as a raffinate containing C10-C25 isoalkanes, C10-C25 cycloalkanes, C10-C25 aromatics and the desorbent.

[0063] S2. The desorbent is brought into a second contact with the material to be desorbed to obtain an extract containing C10-C25 n-alkanes and the desorbent.

[0064] The C10-C25 distillate oil includes C10-C25 n-alkanes, C10-C25 isoalkanes, C10-C25 cycloalkanes, and C10-C25 aromatics.

[0065] The desorbent includes C5-C8 n-alkanes, C6-C8 aromatics, and optionally C5-C8 isoalkanes;

[0066] The adsorbent has a particle size of 0.3-0.6 mm, and the adsorbent includes 5A molecular sieve with a crystal size of 0.2-0.8 μm.

[0067] In this disclosure, in step S1, the desorbent in the raffinate does not originate from the first contact, but rather from the upstream of the simulated moving bed, or it may originate from the desorbent in the downstream adsorbent bed.

[0068] In this disclosure, an adsorbent containing a 5A molecular sieve with specific properties is used for the adsorption and separation of n-alkanes in C10-C25 distillate oil. The 5A molecular sieve has a small crystal size, which can significantly improve the intracrystalline diffusion rate of long-chain n-alkanes. The adsorbent also has a small particle size, which can significantly improve the external diffusion rate of long-chain n-alkanes, thereby improving the adsorption efficiency.

[0069] To further improve the mass transfer rate of high carbon number n-alkanes, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the grain size of the 5A molecular sieve is 0.2-0.7 μm, which can improve the intracrystalline diffusion rate of n-alkanes.

[0070] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, before adsorption separation, the C10-C25 distillate oil is hydrogenated to convert the olefins therein into alkanes, and sulfur-containing and nitrogen-containing compounds need to be removed to avoid poisoning the adsorbent.

[0071] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the water content of the adsorbent is 3% by weight or less, wherein "water content of the adsorbent" refers to the water content relative to the total weight of the adsorbent; when the water content of the adsorbent is within the range of the present disclosure, a higher adsorption capacity of n-alkane can be obtained.

[0072] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, in the 5A molecular sieve, Ca 2+ The degree of exchange is 67-97%, and the above degree of exchange represents Ca 2+ The percentage of ions relative to exchangeable cation sites in the molecular sieve. Specific measurement methods include: analyzing the mass fraction of Na₂O and CaO in the adsorbent using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), denoted as m. N and m C Then Ca 2+ Degree of ion exchange = m C / M C / (m C / M C +m N / M N M N and M C These are the molar masses of Na₂O and CaO, respectively.

[0073] In this disclosure, the C5-C8 n-alkanes in the desorbent have a better desorption effect on C10-C25 n-alkanes in C10-C25 distillate oils, especially C14-C25 n-alkanes, and do not affect the adsorption of C10-C25 n-alkanes. Using them as desorbents can achieve a higher recovery rate of n-alkanes. Furthermore, the desorbent of this disclosure also contains C6-C8 aromatics, which can effectively elute C10-C25 aromatics adsorbed on the surface of the adsorbent and improve product purity. The C5-C8 isoalkanes can adjust the adsorption strength and desorption capacity of the desorbent.

[0074] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, relative to the total volume of the desorbent, the content of C5-C8 n-alkanes is 50-95% by volume, the content of C6-C8 aromatics is 5-20% by volume, and the content of C5-C8 isoalkanes is 0-30% by volume; wherein, the C5-C8 n-alkanes may include, for example, n-hexane (nC6), n-heptane (nC7), etc., the C5-C8 isoalkanes may include, for example, isooctane (iC8), etc., and the C6-C8 aromatics may include, for example, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, etc.

[0075] In order to balance high adsorption capacity and mass transfer and diffusion of long-chain n-alkanes, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperatures of the first contact and the second contact are 185-230°C and the pressures are 1.0-2.5 MPa, respectively. The above conditions can ensure that the stream is in the liquid phase at the adsorption temperature and can ensure the mass transfer and diffusion of long-chain n-alkanes.

[0076] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a liquid-phase simulated moving bed process is used to adsorb and separate n-alkanes from C10-C25 distillate oils. The simulated moving bed contains 12-24 adsorbent beds.

[0077] Step S1 includes: making the C10-C25 distillate oil into the adsorbent bed in the first contact to obtain a raffinate containing C10-C25 isoalkanes, C10-C25 cycloalkanes, C10-C25 aromatics and desorbent, and an adsorbent bed containing C10-C25 n-alkanes as the material to be desorbed;

[0078] Step S2 includes: making the desorbent contact with the material to be desorbed in the second contact to obtain the extract.

[0079] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the method further includes: separating the extract to obtain C10-C25 n-alkanes and a desorbent; the separation method is conventional in the art, such as fractional distillation, the separated desorbent can be recycled, and the fractional distillation material containing C10-C25 n-alkanes has a C10-C25 n-alkane content of 99.5% by weight or more and an aromatic hydrocarbon content of 0.1% by weight or less.

[0080] To further reduce the aromatic content in n-alkane products, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the method includes: subjecting the material containing C10-C25 n-alkanes obtained from the extract to a third contact with an X-type molecular sieve and / or a Y-type molecular sieve; the temperature of the third contact is 100-120°C, the pressure is 0.5-1.5 MPa, and the volume hourly space velocity is 0.5-5 h⁻¹. -1 The water content of the X-type molecular sieve and the Y-type molecular sieve is less than 5% by weight. There are at least two adsorption towers for the above treatment, including adsorption and regeneration, which are used alternately. After the third treatment, the aromatic content of C10-C25 in the n-alkane product is less than 0.01% by weight.

[0081] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the method further includes: separating the raffinate to obtain C10-C25 isoalkanes, C10-C25 cycloalkanes, C10-C25 aromatics and a desorbent, wherein the separated desorbent can be recycled; the separation method is conventional in the art, such as fractional distillation.

[0082] The method disclosed herein can be used for both batch and continuous operations. According to one embodiment, a liquid-phase simulated moving bed process is employed to adsorb and separate n-alkanes from C10-C25 distillate oils. The simulated moving bed comprises 12-24 adsorbent beds. To achieve continuous operation of the industrial separation unit, the adsorption separation process is carried out in a simulated moving bed device with multiple adsorbent beds. The adsorbent is packed in a columnar container in the form of a fixed bed. The adsorbent beds can be multiple adsorption columns connected in series, or they can be divided into multiple adsorbent beds by a screen or grid inside an adsorption tower. The liquid stream flows from top to bottom between the adsorbent beds. Several streams entering or leaving the adsorbent bed divide the adsorbent into at least four regions: adsorption zone, purification zone, desorption zone, and isolation zone, for adsorption and separation operations. The n-alkanes in the C10-C25 distillate oil undergo adsorption, purification, and desorption processes in different regions. Figure 1As shown, in the liquid-phase simulated moving bed device, the adsorbent bed between the raw material to be separated entering the simulated moving bed adsorption tower and the raffinate stream leaving the adsorption tower is the adsorption zone. The raw material stream containing n-alkanes enters the adsorption chamber from the upstream of the adsorption zone and contacts the adsorbent. The C10-C25 n-alkanes are adsorbed into the crystal pores of the 5A molecular sieve. The unadsorbed isoalkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics flow out of the adsorbent bed from the downstream of the adsorption zone along with a portion of the desorbent to form the raffinate stream. The area between the raffinate stream leaving the adsorption tower and the raw material stream entering the adsorption tower is called the purification zone. In this zone, the flow from top to bottom washes the non-n-alkanes outside the micropores of the adsorbent to the downstream. The upstream of this zone is rich in C10-C25 n-alkanes, and the raffinate stream containing the desorbent leaves the adsorption bed. The region between the desorbent stream entering the adsorption tower and the evaporator stream leaving the adsorption tower is called the desorption zone. The desorbent enters from the upstream of this zone, displacing the n-alkanes within the micropores of the adsorbent, allowing the adsorbent to be reused. There is also an isolation zone between the desorbent stream and the evaporator stream; this zone is designed to prevent non-n-alkanes from entering the desorption zone and contaminating the evaporator. Each adsorption column or adsorbent bed is connected to at least one feed line to transport several feed streams entering or leaving the adsorption separation unit. The positions of these feed streams entering or leaving the adsorbent bed are periodically changed from top to bottom, simulating a countercurrent flow between the liquid and adsorbent phases, with the liquid flowing downwards and the adsorbent moving upwards. The step time is 50-300 s. For small-scale experimental devices, the inlet and outlet positions remain unchanged; the same countercurrent flow effect can be achieved by moving the adsorbent bed. The evaporator stream and evaporator stream leaving the adsorption tower enter a fractionation tower to separate the products and recycle the desorbent.

[0083] In this disclosure, the adsorbent containing 5A molecular sieve can be formed from 4A molecular sieve, binder, and additives, and then the formed body is obtained through calcination, binder crystallization, Ca exchange, and activation. The forming process can be carried out according to various techniques well known to those skilled in the art, such as mixing the molecular sieve, binder, and additives, and then agglomerating them by extrusion, pressing, or rolling into spheres. Silicon-aluminum oxide binders with no adsorption capacity are commonly used in the forming process. To improve the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent, this type of binder needs to be crystallized to obtain a binder-free 4A molecular sieve formed body; the cell composition of the 5A molecular sieve in this disclosure is Ca4Na4[Al 12 Si 12 O 48 ]·20H2O. The micropores within the 5A molecular sieve can selectively adsorb C10-C25 n-alkanes.

[0084] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, a method for preparing the adsorbent includes the following steps:

[0085] (1) Mix molecular sieve raw materials, binder and additives and perform molding treatment to obtain the first product;

[0086] (2) The first product is subjected to heat treatment to obtain the second product;

[0087] (3) The second product is contacted with an alkaline solution to obtain a third product;

[0088] (4) The third product is contacted with a solution containing a calcium source to carry out an ion exchange reaction to obtain the fourth product;

[0089] (5) The fourth product is activated;

[0090] The molecular sieve raw material has a crystal size of 0.2-0.8 μm, and the molecular sieve raw material includes NaA molecular sieve powder.

[0091] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the crystal size of the molecular sieve raw material is 0.2-0.7 μm.

[0092] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, in step (1), the binder includes one or more of clay-based binders, silica sol, and alumina sol; the clay-based binder includes one or more of kaolin, halloysite, and attapulgite; the additives include one or more of lignin, guar gum, corn starch, bayberry tannin, and methylcellulose; when there are two or more types of binders or additives, this disclosure does not impose specific restrictions on their proportions.

[0093] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, in step (1), the weight ratio of the molecular sieve raw material to the binder, on a dry basis, is (85-95):(5-15), preferably (90-95):(5-10). When the weight ratio of the molecular sieve raw material to the binder is within the above range, the problems of high adsorbent bulk density and decreased active component content due to excessive binder content and poor adsorbent strength due to excessively low binder content can be avoided.

[0094] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, in step (1), the amount of the additive, on a dry basis, is 1-6% by weight, preferably 2-4% by weight, relative to the total weight of the molecular sieve raw material and the binder.

[0095] In this disclosure, the forming process can be, for example, ball forming, extrusion forming, or tablet forming. The forming process can be carried out in equipment such as a high-speed granulator, a coating machine, a disc granulator, an extruder, or a tablet press. For example, in ball forming, the mixed powder is placed in a ball forming device, and water is added to the material in a spray form while it is rolling. Simultaneously, the mixed powder is added in a scattering form, causing the fine powder to agglomerate, round, and form small balls, which are then compacted to obtain spherical granules. In extrusion forming, the mixed powder is placed in an extrusion device, and a certain amount of water is added for kneading before extrusion to obtain strips. The strips are then dried, crushed, and sieved to obtain granules.

[0107] The effectiveness of the invention was verified by using a small-scale simulated moving bed device with continuous countercurrent flow. The small-scale simulated moving bed device comprises 12 adsorption columns connected in series, each column being 195 mm long and 30 mm in inner diameter, with a total adsorbent loading of 1650 ml. The 12 columns are connected at both ends by a circulating pump to form a closed loop. The four streams of material to be separated—the raw material, desorbent, extractant, and raffinate—divide the 12 adsorption columns into four zones: the three adsorption columns between the raw material stream and the raffinate stream form the adsorption zone; the four adsorption columns between the extractant stream and the raw material stream form the purification zone; the three adsorption columns between the desorbent stream and the extractant stream form the desorption zone; and the two adsorption columns between the raffinate stream and the desorbent stream form the isolation zone.

The flow rate in each zone is adjusted by setting the circulation pump flow rate and the four inlet and outlet streams. At regular intervals, one adsorption column is moved in the opposite direction to the liquid flow to achieve continuous countercurrent chromatography of the adsorbent and fluid.

[0113] Grain size testing method: The molecular sieve morphology was observed using a Hitachi S4800 scanning electron microscope and the grain size was measured using SMile View software.
