Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of clean refining technology, and specifically relates to a combined process of liquefied petroleum gas-catalytic gasoline hydrogenation. Background Technology

[0002] Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) mainly comes from catalytic cracking and delayed coking units in refineries. It is a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons that can be used as a clean fuel or, after separation and purification, as a chemical feedstock for producing high-value-added products. However, LPG contains certain amounts of sulfide impurities, especially methanethiol and ethanethiol, which produce harmful SO₂ during combustion. x Emissions can lead to catalyst poisoning and deactivation in downstream processing and promote the oxidation of reactive hydrocarbons in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to form gum. Hydrodesulfurization technology can remove mercaptans from LPG, but it easily causes olefin saturation, thus reducing the utilization value of LPG products.

[0003] Catalytic cracking gasoline has a high sulfur and olefin content. To upgrade the quality of gasoline, traditional desulfurization technology saturates high-octane olefin components to generate low-octane alkanes, resulting in a significant decrease in octane number. In order to achieve the dual goals of deep desulfurization of FCC gasoline and minimal loss of octane number, different processes and catalysts are adopted at home and abroad to achieve this goal.

[0004] IFP company Prime-G + The technology consists of a selective hydrotreating unit (SHU), a fractionation tower (to separate LCN from MCN or HCN), and a dual-catalyst hydrotreating unit for processing both MCN and HCN. The process uses FCC gasoline full-fraction feedstock, undergoing hydrotreating pretreatment in the SHU unit to hydrogenate and saturate dienes and isomerize double bonds; small-molecule thiols and sulfides are converted into large-molecule sulfides. Then, fractionation separates the gasoline into olefin-rich light gasoline and sulfur-rich heavy gasoline; the sulfur-rich heavy gasoline is then subjected to selective deep hydrodesulfurization using a dual-catalyst, minimizing olefin saturation and thus minimizing octane number loss.

[0005] CN102311783B discloses a combined process for hydrogenating liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and coking gasoline: coking gasoline undergoes hydrogenation in a coking gasoline hydrogenation reaction section, and the reaction effluent is mixed with LPG feedstock and enters the LPG hydrogenation reaction section. After separation, hydrogenated LPG and hydrogenated coking gasoline are obtained. This method facilitates the diffusion of reaction heat, lowers the reaction temperature, reduces the influence of temperature on the reaction equilibrium, and can simultaneously obtain high-quality hydrogenated coking gasoline and hydrogenated LPG. CN109777506B discloses a combined processing method for refinery gas hydrogenation. In this method, jet fuel feedstock and circulating oil are mixed with hydrogen in a hydrogen dissolving device, and then fed into a hydrogenation catalyst bed in a jet fuel hydrogenation reactor for reaction under liquid-phase hydrogenation conditions. The resulting reaction stream is mixed with refinery gas and hydrogen in a gas dissolving device and then fed into a supplementary hydrogenation reactor for reaction under liquid-phase hydrogenation conditions. The hydrogenation reaction effluent is separated into gas and liquid phases. The separated gas phase is desulfurized and further separated to obtain hydrogen, refinery gas, naphtha, and jet fuel products. All of the above hydrogenation methods involve first hydrogenating the liquid feedstock and then mixing it with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for hydrogenation. While this removes mercaptans from the LPG, it also produces a large amount of olefin saturation, reducing the utilization value of the LPG products. CN103820149A discloses a method for reducing the sulfur content in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), comprising: a mixing process of hydrogenated or unhydrogenated LPG with other petroleum fractions having a boiling point higher than that of LPG; a hydrogenation reaction process, including a sulfideation reaction, carried out in a fixed-bed reactor on LPG or a mixed fraction containing LPG; and a process for fractionating the mixed fraction to obtain a low-sulfur LPG fraction. This invention can significantly reduce the sulfur content in LPG, and the resulting low-sulfur LPG fraction can be used to produce MTBE or alkylated gasoline (isooctane), but the process is limited to obtaining a low-sulfur LPG fraction. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a combined process for hydrogenating liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and catalytic gasoline. This process can simultaneously and efficiently selectively hydrogenate both LPG and catalytic gasoline, enabling the simultaneous production of high-value LPG products and gasoline products with minimal octane number loss. This reduces equipment investment costs, lowers hydrogen consumption, improves production efficiency, and effectively solves the problem of high temperature rise during LPG hydrogenation.

The first fixed-bed reactor is filled with a mercaptan transfer catalyst and the second fixed-bed reactor is filled with a selective hydrodesulfurization catalyst. The two reactors are subjected to sulfidation treatment simultaneously. After sulfidation, CO2 is introduced into the two reactors to maintain the CO2 concentration in the reaction system at ≥3000μg / g. Catalytic gasoline feedstock is introduced to react for a period of time and then switched to a hydrogen atmosphere. (2) Catalytic gasoline feedstock, liquefied petroleum gas and hydrogen are mixed in the first dissolved gas device.

(3) The first reaction stream is separated into gas phase product and liquid phase product. The gas phase product is further desulfurized to obtain liquefied petroleum gas product. The liquid phase product is fractionated to obtain light fraction and heavy fraction. (4) The heavy fraction is mixed with hydrogen in the second dissolved gas device. The mixture enters the second fixed-bed reactor and reacts with the selective hydrodesulfurization catalyst to obtain the second reaction stream. The second reaction stream is separated into gas and liquid to obtain the heavy catalytic gasoline product.

[0009] In the process of this invention, before the sulfidation treatment described in step (1), the first and second fixed-bed reactors have completed the conventional operation process before the sulfidation treatment, such as nitrogen gas sealing, catalyst drying, hydrogen replacement, hydrogen gas sealing and establishing hydrogen circulation.

[0011] In the process of this invention, the amount of CO2 introduced in step (1) is ≥3000μg / g, preferably ≥6000μg / g, based on its concentration in hydrogen.

[0012] In the process of this invention, the catalytic gasoline feedstock introduced in step (1) is fed at a volume hourly space velocity (VHSV) of 2 to 10 h⁻¹. -1 The preferred volume hourly space velocity is 4-8 h⁻¹. -1 The reaction time is 48 to 600 hours, preferably 72 to 480 hours. The inlet temperature of the first fixed-bed reactor is 180 to 220°C, preferably 190 to 210°C. The inlet temperature of the second fixed-bed reactor is 280 to 320°C, preferably 290 to 310°C.

[0013] In the process of this invention, after the sulfidation in step (2) is completed, the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the hydrogen gas is generally replaced by hydrogen circulation, which is ≤300mg / m³. 3 Preferred concentration ≤100mg / m³ 3 .

It can be a commercially available product or prepared according to existing technology, such as the ExxonMobil HR-845 catalyst. The thiol transfer catalyst generally includes a hydrogenation active component and a catalyst support. The hydrogenation active component includes molybdenum and nickel, with a weight content of 3% to 40% based on oxides. The catalyst support is alumina, amorphous aluminum silicate, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, etc., and may also contain other additives such as P, Si, B, Ti, Zr, Ca, etc.

[0020] In the process of this invention, after the gaseous product obtained in step (3) is desulfurized by a gas separator, hydrogen is separated to obtain liquefied petroleum gas product.

[0021] In the process of this invention, the fractionation in step (3) is generally carried out in a fractionation device, such as a fractionation tower. If there is liquid product in the gas separator, it will directly enter the fractionation device and be fractionated together with the separated liquid product into light fraction and heavy fraction.

[0022] In the process of this invention, the liquid phase product and / or part of the light distillate obtained in step (3) are returned to the first dissolved gas equipment as circulating oil; the volume ratio of circulating oil to fresh catalytic gasoline feedstock is 1:10~2:1, preferably 1:5~1:1.

[0023] In the process of this invention, the second dissolved gas device in step (4) is any mixing device capable of premixing the catalytic gasoline feedstock and hydrogen. The mixing device may be one or more of the following: static mixer, dissolved gas pump, mechanical stirring device, colloid mill, microporous plate nano / micro hydrogen dispersion component, microbubble generator, ceramic membrane nano / micro hydrogen dispersion component, jet mixer, and microchannel mixer.

[0024] In the process of this invention, the selective hydrogenation reaction conditions in step (4) are as follows: reaction pressure of 1.0~4.0 MPa, preferably 1.6~3.2 MPa, reaction temperature of 230~320℃, preferably 250~300℃, and volume hourly space velocity of the heavy catalytic gasoline of 1.0~10.0 h⁻¹. -1 Preferably, it is 2.0~6.0h. -1 The mass ratio of hydrogen to heavy fraction is 200:1 to 10:1, preferably 100:1 to 50:1.

[0025] In the process of this invention, the selective hydrogenation catalyst mentioned in step (4) can be a catalyst with selective hydrogenation desulfurization function well known in the art. It can be a commercially available product or prepared according to existing technology, such as Axens RT-225, ExxonMobil HR-806 catalyst, and Sinopec (Dalian) Petrochemical Co., Ltd.'s FGH-21 and FGH-31 catalysts. The selective hydrogenation catalyst generally includes a hydrogenation active component and a catalyst support.

The catalyst support is generally alumina, amorphous aluminum silicate, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, etc., and may also contain other additives such as P, Si, B, Ti, Zr, Ca, etc.

[0026] In the process of this invention, part of the heavy catalytic gasoline product obtained in step (4) is returned to the second dissolved gas equipment as circulating oil, with a circulating mass ratio of 1:10 to 2:1, preferably 1:5 to 1:1.

[0027] In the process of this invention, the unrecycled light fraction in step (3) is mixed with the heavy catalytic gasoline product obtained in step (4) to obtain the finished catalytic gasoline.

[0028] In existing technologies, although hydrodesulfurization technology can remove mercaptans from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), it easily leads to olefin saturation, thereby reducing the utilization value of LPG products. Catalytic cracking gasoline has high sulfur and olefin content. To achieve gasoline product quality upgrades, traditional desulfurization technologies saturate high-octane olefin components, generating low-octane alkanes, resulting in a significant decrease in octane number.

[0029] This invention provides a combined LPG-catalytic gasoline process that can selectively hydrogenate both LPG and catalytic gasoline simultaneously, enabling the simultaneous production of high-value LPG and gasoline with minimal octane number loss. By comparing the commonalities of LPG and catalytic gasoline hydrogenation, and considering the simultaneous need for desulfurization and reduced olefin saturation in both LPG and catalytic gasoline, the inventors employ a dissolved hydrogen method to maximize the hydrogen supply for hydrodesulfurization without excessive hydrogen supply that could lead to oversaturation of olefins. Two different functional catalysts are used in a thiol transfer reactor to hydrogenate and saturate dienes and isomerize double bonds. Small-molecule thiols and sulfides are converted into large-molecule sulfides. A separation system yields low-sulfur LPG with minimal olefin loss. The separated liquid phase is fractionated into light catalytic gasoline and heavy catalytic gasoline. The heavy catalytic gasoline enters a gasoline selective hydrogenation reactor, where it undergoes selective deep hydrogenation desulfurization using a heavy catalytic gasoline selective hydrogenation catalyst. By minimizing olefin saturation, minimal octane number loss is achieved. The inventors also employed a unique sulfidation start-up method. After sulfidation, a large amount of acidic CO2 molecules are adsorbed onto the active sites of the catalyst's hydrodesulfurization reaction. Catalytic gasoline feedstock is then introduced at a relatively high reaction temperature to accelerate carbon deposition on the catalyst. Utilizing the different active sites on the catalyst for the hydrodesulfurization reaction and the olefin hydrogenation saturation reaction, more carbon deposits cover the active sites of the olefin hydrogenation saturation reaction, thus reducing its activity. When the CO2 content in the hydrogen returns to ≤20 μg / g, the hydrodesulfurization activity of the catalyst is restored due to the recoverable adsorption of CO2 molecules on the catalyst. However, the olefin hydrogenation saturation reaction activity is now suppressed, significantly improving the selectivity of LPG and catalytic gasoline hydrodesulfurization. This integrated processing of the two feedstocks reduces equipment investment costs, improves production efficiency, and effectively solves the problem of high temperature rise during LPG hydrogenation. The dissolved hydrogen method also reduces hydrogen consumption. Attached Figure Description
