Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aromatics production, and more specifically, to a catalyst for removing olefins from aromatic feedstocks, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The aromatic feedstock from the hydrocracking unit has a high bromine index. In the aromatics complex production process, strict requirements are placed on the bromine index of the target C8 aromatic mixture generated from naphtha reforming, disproportionation and alkyl transfer, and isomerization reactions before adsorption separation can yield PX. The various reaction products or intermediates contain numerous impurities, resulting in a high bromine index. After de-olefin treatment, they can enter the downstream xylene tower. C8 aromatics are separated at the top of the xylene tower, while the bottom products are converted into the target C8 aromatics through disproportionation and alkyl transfer processes. The C8 aromatics at the top of the xylene tower require extremely low olefin content.
[0003] Industrially, two technical routes are used to saturate and largely remove olefins from aromatics, thereby reducing their olefin content: hydrogenation and liquid-solid phase molecular sieve alkylation catalysis. Conventionally, clay and molecular sieve catalysts are used to reduce olefins. Because the olefin molecules in the feedstock are relatively large, including those in C8 and C9+ aromatic fractions, and because the catalyst must maintain stable olefin removal performance over long periods, the requirements for the catalyst are high.
[0004] CN102008976A, CN103041841B, CN102039160B, and CN104907090A all employ molecular sieves as the main active component of deolefination catalysts. CN102008976A discloses a deolefination catalyst with ReUSY molecular sieves as the main active component, mordenite molecular sieves as the second active component, and alumina as a binder. CN103041841B discloses an aromatic non-hydrogenated deolefination catalyst prepared using Y molecular sieves. CN102039160B discloses a reforming oil deolefination catalyst, employing 20-90 parts of molecular sieves and 10-80 parts of at least one element selected from SiO2, Al2O3, or mixtures thereof, and a catalyst containing at least one metal or oxide selected from Mo, Zr, and Nb (based on elemental composition), at least one element selected from Cl, Br, and S (based on elemental composition), and at least one element or oxide selected from F and P (based on elemental composition). CN104907090A discloses a catalyst for the refining and deolefinization of reformed oil, comprising 30%-70% Al2O3 and 30%-70% molecular sieve.
[0005] Another method for removing olefins is hydrodeolefins technology. Hydrodeolefins technology uses hydrogen to react with double bonds to saturate and selectively remove olefins from all fractions. However, it inevitably hydrogenates some unsaturated aromatic rings in high-value aromatics, generating irreversible non-aromatics, thus reducing the overall capacity of the unit. For example, CN1448474A uses noble metals as the active metal component and alkali and alkaline earth metals as promoters to suppress excessive hydrogenation, resulting in a certain amount of aromatic loss. CN101260320A uses an eggshell-type optimized metal distribution method to reduce excessive hydrogenation. CN108636399A uses a non-noble metal hydrogenation method to remove olefins, which not only consumes hydrogen but also requires catalyst reduction and activation before application, making practical industrial application difficult. Furthermore, it inevitably loses some aromatics during operation, and its activity is not easily stabilized.
[0006] In summary, the above methods use different catalysts to remove olefins from the entire fraction of aromatic feedstock, resulting in a large number of aromatics participating in the reaction and high costs. Summary of the Invention

[0048] In this invention, the swelling rate of the catalyst for aromatics % = (V 催化剂48h -V 催化剂初始 ) / V 催化剂初始 ×100%;
[0049] Among them, V 催化剂48h V represents the volume of catalyst swollen for 48 hours, in mL. 催化剂初始 This indicates the initial volume of the catalyst before swelling treatment, in mL.
