Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of petrochemical industry, and in particular to a method for preparing low-carbon olefins by catalytic cracking of light oil. Background Art

[0002] The existing catalytic cracking process is widely used in the petrochemical industry. With the change of market demand, the catalytic cracking process began to use light oil such as naphtha or diesel to crack and produce low-carbon olefins (such as ethylene, propylene and butene). Low-carbon olefins are the basic raw materials for the production of various polymers and other value-added chemicals, and are widely used in various chemical industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and dyes. However, the catalytic cracking reaction is a strong endothermic reaction that needs to be carried out under high temperature conditions, but the amount of coke generated by the light oil reaction is small, resulting in insufficient heat in the regenerator, making it difficult to maintain the required high temperature.

[0003] In the traditional regenerator operation process, the method of spraying fuel oil into the catalyst bed is often used to supplement heat through the spontaneous combustion of the fuel oil. Although this method can provide a large amount of heat in a short period of time, the combustion of fuel oil on the catalyst surface will cause the local temperature of the catalyst surface to be too high, which will cause the catalyst pores to collapse and particles to break, seriously affecting the service life and reaction efficiency of the catalyst. Secondly, the catalytic cracking reaction is a strong endothermic reaction. Due to the low thermal conductivity of the catalyst, there will be a significant temperature gradient on the bed, which reduces the utilization rate of the catalyst and increases the risk of carbon deposition in the reaction center. In order to ensure uniform temperature in the reactor, combustion needs to be maintained at extremely high temperatures to ensure sufficient inward heat flow. The maximum temperature of the reactor wall is 100-150°C higher than the temperature of the catalyst in the reactor, which causes significant energy waste.

[0004] In order to solve this problem, patent CN100337736C adds coal powder with a particle size of 10 to 140 μm to the catalyst regenerator continuously or intermittently. This method can save a lot of light fuel oil, reduce equipment costs, and improve economic benefits. However, the pulverized coal is prone to blockage and uneven distribution during transportation, resulting in incomplete combustion; additional pollutants are generated while burning the pulverized coal, complicating the flue gas treatment process. In addition, the coal ash produced after combustion may be adsorbed on the catalyst surface or accumulated in the regenerator, affecting the operating efficiency and catalyst activity.

[0005] Patent CN115305107A discloses an external supplementary heat electric heater device for the regenerator of a fluidized bed light hydrocarbon processing device, which is used to solve the problems of insufficient supplementary combustion capacity of the regenerator of old devices, imperfect flue gas treatment system or insufficient power of the main fan. The electric heater uses green electricity energy, significantly reduces carbon emissions, and can more accurately control the amount of supplementary heat. However, the invention does not fully consider the thermal conductivity and heat storage capacity of the catalyst, so that during the electric heating supplementary heat process, the catalyst may still not reach the ideal working conditions.

During the reaction process, the heated heat storage material provides uniform heat in the reactor, providing heat for the cracking reaction in a timely manner, making the heat of the catalyst in the riser more uniform, reducing the temperature gradient difference of the catalyst bed, and ensuring the stability and consistency of the reaction process.

[0113] (5) Flexible operation, environmental friendliness, and improved safety. The electric heating system can accurately control the heating temperature and power, has high operational flexibility, and is adaptable to different process conditions and production requirements. Using electric heating instead of fuel oil spontaneous combustion can reduce pollution emissions during the combustion process and avoid the risk of fire caused by fuel oil spontaneous combustion.

[0139] Comparative Example 2

[0140] The catalyst used was a ZSM-5 / kaolin matrix catalyst. The catalyst preparation process was the same as that of Comparative Example 1.

[0141] The specific operating steps of Comparative Example 2 are as follows:

[0142] Reaction process: Naphtha is sprayed into the reaction tube 5 through an atomizing nozzle, where it contacts the high-temperature regenerated catalyst from the regenerator 7, and then vaporizes and reacts. The reaction product passes through the first cyclone separator 2 to separate the entrained catalyst, leaves the settler 3, and leaves the device through the product outlet 12. The regenerated catalyst falls from the settler 3 into the stripping section 4 below. The stripping section is equipped with multiple layers of herringbone baffles. After being stripped by stripping steam (from the second steam inlet 16), it is sent to the regenerator 7 through the regenerated catalyst pipe 14 for regeneration.

[0143] Regeneration process: The catalyst to be regenerated enters the regenerator 7 through the air inlet 11 and is regenerated in the regenerator 7 under the combustion of the regeneration air passing through the first main air distribution pipe 9. The insufficient heat is provided by the fuel oil, which is sprayed from the bottom of the regenerator. The catalyst to be regenerated coated with the fuel oil contacts and burns with the air. After the regenerated flue gas is separated from the entrained catalyst by the second cyclone separator 6, it passes through the second cyclone separator and then leaves the device through the regenerated flue gas 13. The regenerated catalyst enters the bottom of the reactor through the regeneration agent pipe 15 to contact and react with the naphtha raw material.

[0144] The physical properties of the naphtha used in the examples and comparative examples of the present invention are shown in Table 1.

[0147] The evaluation results of the catalytic cracking system of the present invention are shown in Table 2.

[0148] Table 2

[0150]

[0151] The catalyst provided by the present invention has good compatibility with the electric heating supplementary heat device. The electric heating supplementary heat system does not increase carbon emissions, has a fast heating speed, can be accurately controlled, and avoids the hysteresis of the combustion temperature of fuel oil or coal powder. Catalysts with high thermal conductivity and high specific heat capacity can absorb the heat energy of the electric heating system faster and replenish the required heat energy in time during the reaction process, thereby maintaining the optimal reaction temperature of the catalyst. This method effectively reduces the rate of side reactions caused by excessively high or low temperatures, and improves reaction efficiency and product selectivity.

[0152] See Table 3, which shows the temperatures at different positions of the reactor and regenerator bed in the naphtha catalytic cracking reaction to produce light olefins in Example 2 and Comparative Example 1.

[0153] Table 3

[0154] Bed position Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5 Comparative Example 1 Bed entrance 669℃ 662℃ 659℃ 662℃ 665℃ 690℃ Middle of bed 650℃ 650℃ 650℃ 650℃ 650℃ 650℃ upper part of bed 640℃ 641℃ 645℃ 644℃ 642℃ 630℃ regenerate upper part 700℃ 700℃ 700℃ 700℃ 700℃ 700℃ Regeneration of Central 687℃ 693℃ 694℃ 692℃ 688℃ 676℃ Next section of regeneration 677℃ 685℃ 682℃ 682℃ 680℃ 650℃

[0155] Without the help of heat storage material, in the comparison between Example 3 and Comparative Example 1, when the catalyst using heat storage material maintains the middle temperature at 650°C, the temperature difference between the bed inlet and outlet (upper part of the bed) is 14°C; while the temperature difference between the bed inlet and outlet of the catalyst in Comparative Example 1 is 60°C. Such an increase in temperature difference will increase the reaction rate of side reactions, reduce catalyst activity and selectivity, and reduce the yield of light olefins.

[0157] Table 4

[0158]

[0159] As shown in Table 4, when using fuel oil for supplementary heating, due to its unevenness, it often causes a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the catalyst, resulting in thermal collapse and crushing under the action of thermal stress. This crushing changes the particle size distribution of the catalyst, increases the proportion of catalysts below 20μm, and shortens the operating cycle of the catalyst. As the content of fine particles increases, these small particles are not easily separated by the cyclone separator, which causes catalyst loss and runaway, resulting in a decrease in catalyst activity and a change in reaction depth. The process of using electric heating to supplement heat with heat storage materials can provide stable and uniform heat to avoid catalyst thermal collapse caused by local overheating. The heat storage material has better thermal conductivity and heat storage performance, can effectively store and release heat during the electric heating process, and can ensure uniform heat transfer when in contact with the catalyst. This process reduces the temperature difference between the inside and surface of the catalyst, reduces the risk of crushing due to thermal stress, and maintains the particle size distribution and stability of the catalyst. The service life of the catalyst is extended, the content of fine powder is reduced, and the overall reaction system is more stable and efficient.
