[0002] Conventional naphtha contains hydrocarbons such as normal alkanes, isoalkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics, some of which contain small or trace amounts of olefins, as well as impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, water, and oxygen-containing compounds. In industrial production, naphtha needs to be refined to remove impurities and then separated into high-purity normal alkanes and the rest of the high-octane mixture (isoalkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics). The main uses of normal alkanes are: vegetable oil extractants, polymer solvents, cleaning agents, etc., and the high-octane mixture of isoalkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics is mainly used as reforming materials, gasoline blending materials, etc.

[0003] There are three main methods for the existing naphtha hydrocarbon separation technology: 1) hydrofining naphtha at high temperature and high pressure, and then separating it through multi-tower distillation; 2) after hydrofining, it is separated by fixed bed adsorption; 3) after hydrofining, it is separated by simulated moving bed. Among them, the combined technology of hydrofining and simulated moving bed adsorption separation is complicated to start and stop the device, and the cost of adsorbent replacement is high. At the same time, the device must have a hydrogen source, which is complicated to operate and has high production costs, which is not conducive to the sustainable development of the naphtha hydrocarbon separation industry. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a renewable adsorbent for naphtha adsorption separation and apply it to the naphtha hydrocarbon adsorption separation method. Summary of the invention

Weigh 100 kg of 4A molecular sieve powder, at 600 ° C, the ignition reduction is 20%; weigh 6 kg of kaolin, at 600 ° C, the ignition reduction is 30%, 6 kg of pseudo-boehmite, at 600 ° C, the ignition reduction is 30%, the specific surface area is 260m2 / g, the pore volume is 0.6ml / g, and 5 kg of methyl cellulose. Mix all the materials for 1 hour. After mixing evenly, weigh 15 kg of the mixed powder and put it into the rolling ball pot. Rotate the pot to keep the powder flowing, and continuously spray water into the pot to mix. The powder gradually gathers into particles under the working condition of the rolling ball pot rotating and spraying liquid. When the particles reach between 0.2-0.5mm, the rolling ball pot stops rotating and screens them to obtain 0.2-0.5mm balls as seed balls. The seed balls are put into the rolling ball pot, the pot body is rotated, and the mixed powder and water are continuously added to the pot. The two are circulated alternately to keep the material in the pot with a certain humidity and the granular material rolls smoothly.

The desorbent is normal carbon 10, and the flushing liquid is 11-isoalkanes. According to the operation of the simulated moving bed, a mixture of normal alkanes and isoalkanes, aromatics, and cycloalkanes is obtained. After a certain period of operation, the bed is divided into four zones: Zone I - feed zone (7 layers), Zone II - refining zone (8 layers), Zone III - desorption zone (7 layers), and Zone IV - buffer zone (2 layers).

The oil in the adsorption tower is purged dry with nitrogen, and heated nitrogen is introduced from the top of the adsorption tower to slowly increase the temperature. When the temperature in the tower reaches 410°C, a mixture of purified air and nitrogen is introduced to control the oxygen content to ensure that the initial oxygen content is 0.8%; the temperature is kept rising slowly, and the oxygen content and temperature are continuously increased. Finally, the temperature is controlled to reach 527°C and the oxygen content reaches 5.9%. The temperature is kept constant for 8 hours, the adsorbent is reactivated, and the naphtha adsorption separation is continued.

[0029] Example 4 Physical and chemical indicators and application results of naphtha adsorption separation adsorbent

[0030] In summary, the present invention provides a regenerable adsorbent for naphtha adsorption separation, and a preparation method and application thereof. The regenerable adsorbent for naphtha adsorption separation is used. After the life of the adsorbent expires, an in-vessel regeneration method is used to restore the activity, thereby overcoming the defects of the existing adsorbents, such as short service life, frequent start-up and shutdown procedures, and agent replacement. At the same time, the regenerable adsorbent for naphtha adsorption separation can be used to adsorb and separate the refined naphtha in the absence of a hydrogen source to obtain a mixture of normal alkanes and high-octane isoalkanes, aromatics, and cycloalkanes. The operation is simple, the energy consumption is low, resources are recycled, the production cost is reduced, and the economic benefit is improved.
