Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of hydrocarbon oil conversion, and specifically to a hydrocracking method for producing high-octane gasoline blending components. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the national economy, the market demand for olefins and aromatics is continuously increasing. However, this has also led to an increase in the production of low-value-added light naphtha as a byproduct of refinery chemical production, such as hydrocracking light naphtha and aromatic residue oil. Since these naphtha fractions themselves have low octane numbers, low demand for blended gasoline, and mostly high cycloalkane content, they are not suitable for direct use as feedstock for ethylene cracking. Therefore, such refinery light naphtha urgently needs a processing method to increase its added value.

[0003] Generally speaking, naphtha fractions such as aromatic residue oil have low sulfur and nitrogen content and low demand for refining. If the cycloalkanes in the feedstock are selectively converted into alkanes through shallow hydrocracking, the product can be used as a chemical feedstock or gasoline blending component, while solving the problem of excess low-value-added residue oil resources in refineries.

[0004] CN112409121A discloses a method for converting light naphtha into low-carbon olefins and aromatics. Light naphtha with a C5 and C6 alkane content of 99% undergoes isomerization separation. The isomerized components are fed into a hydrocracking unit and separated to obtain refinery dry gas, propane, n-butane, and isobutane. These components are then further converted into ethylene and propylene through steam cracking or propane dehydrogenation units. The hydrocracking unit conditions include a temperature of 330–360°C and a gauge pressure of 6–8 MPa. After separation in the hydrocracking unit, the proportions of refinery dry gas, propane, n-butane, and isobutane are 6%, 31%, 29%, and 34%, respectively.

[0005] WO2021236149A1 discloses a method for converting light naphtha fractions into high-value products through a two-stage reaction zone. The feedstock passes through a first reactor packed with a bifunctional catalyst, where a portion of the light naphtha is reformed into BTEX, and another portion is cracked into ethane, propane, and butane. The effluent from the first reactor is passed into a gas-liquid separation unit to produce liquid and gaseous products. After removing hydrogen and methane from the gaseous products, the gaseous products are passed through a second reactor under steam cracking conditions to convert the gas into low-carbon olefins.

[0006] WO2022144802A1 discloses a method for maximizing the conversion of n-alkanes to low-carbon n-alkanes. The method involves converting naphtha with a n-alkane content of 40-80% into low-carbon alkanes via hydrocracking, wherein the ratio of isomeric C4 to n-C4 does not exceed 25%. In this method, the catalyst comprises an LTA molecular sieve with a pore size of 0.30-0.50 nm and one or more metals selected from Pd, Pt, and Au. The conditions include a temperature of 199-427 °C, a pressure of 0.69-13.79 MPa, and a time of 0.1-5 h. -1 Mass airspeed.

[0007] Conventional hydrocracking technology or units primarily process feedstocks such as diesel and wax oil, while their main products include light naphtha, heavy naphtha, jet fuel, diesel, and tail oil. Light naphtha, in particular, has a low octane number, making it unsuitable as a good gasoline blending component. While hydrocracking technologies involving the production of low-carbon alkanes from light oil feedstocks can achieve the goal of isomerizing light oil feedstocks to increase octane number, they mostly require precious metal catalysts or operate under harsh conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to produce naphtha products with higher isohydrocarbon content using low-value-added refinery light oil as raw material under milder conditions, thereby increasing the octane number of the raw material.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a hydrocracking method for producing high-octane gasoline blending components, the method comprising:

[0010] (1) Under low-pressure hydrogenation conditions, light oil is introduced into a hydrocracking reaction zone filled with a hydrocracking catalyst to carry out a hydrocracking reaction to obtain hydrocracking products; the content of saturated hydrocarbons in the light oil is 90wt% to 100wt%, and the light oil is naphtha feedstock or diesel fraction feedstock.

[0011] (2) The hydrocracking product is subjected to gas-liquid separation to obtain a liquid product; the conditions are controlled so that the yield of the liquid product is not less than 88 wt%.

[0012] (3) The liquid product is fractionated to obtain a cracked naphtha product; the isomer selectivity of the cracked naphtha product is above 72%;

[0013] The conditions for the hydrocracking reaction are controlled such that when the light oil is naphtha feedstock, the conversion rate of hydrocarbons with C5 or higher is 1% to 12%; and when the light oil is diesel fraction feedstock, the conversion rate of the >165℃ fraction is 25% to 68%.

[0014] Conversion rate of hydrocarbons with C5 or higher = (1 - mass percentage of hydrocarbons with C5 or higher in the liquid product * yield of the liquid product / mass percentage of hydrocarbons with C5 or higher in the light oil) * 100%;

[0015] Conversion rate of >165℃ fraction = (1 - mass percentage of >165℃ fraction in the liquid product * yield of the liquid product / mass percentage of >165℃ fraction in the light oil) * 100%;

[0016] The hydrocracking catalyst contains an active metal component and a support, and the support contains an acidic component; the acidic component is at least one of β-type molecular sieve and modified β-type molecular sieve, and the content of the acidic component is 20wt% to 45wt% based on the weight of the support.

[0017] The method of the present invention enables the conversion of naphtha feedstock with high cycloalkane content into naphtha product mainly composed of low-carbon isoparaffins under low-pressure hydrogen-exposed conditions. This product (preferably after being processed) can be used as a blending component for high-octane gasoline.

[0018] Furthermore, the process method provided by this invention has the advantages of high liquid yield, high content of isoalkanes in the product, and very low content of aromatics. Attached Figure Description
