TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a green olefin to SAF production method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a new type of aviation fuel aimed at reducing the environmental impact of traditional aviation fuel. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) passed the International Aviation Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme (CORSIA) in 2016, proposing that SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) will be widely used. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) considers the development of bio-jet fuel as an important means for the aviation industry to achieve emission reduction targets. On October 4, 2021, the 77th Annual Meeting of IATA approved the resolution of achieving net zero carbon emissions in the global aviation industry by 2050. According to the milestone targets of the resolution, the global SAF usage will reach 0.18 million tons (23 billion liters, accounting for 5.2% of total fuel demand) in 2030, and 3.50 million tons (4490 billion liters, accounting for 65.0% of total fuel demand) in 2050. Therefore, the large-scale commercial production of SAF is imminent.
[0003] There are as many as 11 production process routes for SAF, among which FT, HEFA, ATJ, and PtL are considered to have the most development potential. HEFA technology is to process plant oils, waste oils, and other raw materials through hydrogenation, deoxygenation, isomerization, and selective cracking technologies to convert them into aviation coal; FT technology is to gasify biomass and other biological raw materials to convert them into synthesis gas, and then through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process, the synthesis gas is converted into Fischer-Tropsch synthesis oil (long-chain alkanes or aromatic hydrocarbons), and then through hydrogenation refining and isomerization to produce aviation coal; AtJ technology is to dehydrate biomass alcohols to generate olefins, and then through oligomerization to obtain alkanes as the main product, and finally through hydro-upgrading to obtain aviation coal; PtL technology is to produce hydrogen through water electrolysis using green electricity generated by photovoltaic and wind power, and then through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis or synthesis of methanol, and then through dehydration and oligomerization to convert it into aviation coal.
[0004] Green olefin polymerization to SAF technology is to use green olefins produced by dehydration of biomass alcohol or green methanol as raw materials, and then through oligomerization to generate C8-C16 hydrocarbons, and then through hydrogenation to obtain SAF. Green olefin polymerization to SAF technology can be applied in ATJ and PTL and other SAF production technology processes, and is a key step for green alcohol to SAF.
[0005] Green olefins are produced from biomass alcohol or green methanol dehydration, and the main components are ethylene, propylene and butene. At present, the olefin oligomerization technology is the SPAC process of the United States (UOP Company), the MOGD process of the United States (Mobil Company), and the oligomerization process of the French IFP Company. Among them, the SPAC process adopts a phosphoric acid-diatomite catalyst, the main raw material is propylene, and the product is mainly a trimerization product (C9), but the catalyst has a short service life (only 4-6 months) and is prone to mudification and cannot be regenerated; the MOGD process adopts a ZSM-5 molecular sieve-based catalyst, C2-C5 olefins can be used as raw materials, the product is mainly gasoline and kerosene components, and the product ratio can be adjusted as needed, but the kerosene component is not more than 70%, the reaction temperature is relatively high, the catalyst needs to be regenerated frequently (single-pass service life is about 30 days), and the energy consumption is high; the oligomerization process of the IFP Company includes Dimersol process and Difasol process, the Dimersol process adopts a nickel salt as the main catalyst and an alkyl aluminum as the cocatalyst, the raw material is butene, and the product is mainly dimers (C8), the Difasol process improves the Dimersol process by loading the nickel-based catalyst and the alkyl aluminum chloride cocatalyst on an ionic liquid to facilitate separation from the product, but the catalyst of the technology uses a large amount of alkyl aluminum or alkyl aluminum chloride, which is expensive and has high risk, can self-ignite upon air contact, and can explode upon contact with water, so the safety factor is low.
[0006] The products produced by the current olefin oligomerization technology are relatively light compared to SAF, and can only be added in small amounts for blending, and cannot be used in large quantities as aviation kerosene. Therefore, it is necessary to find a green olefin polymerization technology that can overcome the defects of the above-mentioned existing technology and produce a large amount of C8-C16 components. SUMMARY
[0007] In order to improve the proportion of kerosene in the green olefin polymerization process for producing SAF, the present application provides a production method for producing SAF from green olefins, which comprises the following steps:
[0008] (1) The raw material green olefins, the first separated component, the second separated component and the light component recycled from the previous step are dehydrated by a dryer to form dry olefins;
[0009] (2) The dry olefins and the heavy component recycled from the previous step are introduced into a polymerization reactor, and oligomerization is carried out under the action of a modified ionic liquid catalyst to form a reaction mixture;
[0010] (3) The reaction mixture entraining the modified ionic liquid catalyst is introduced into a settling tank for separation, the separated modified ionic liquid catalyst is discharged from the bottom of the settling tank and returned to the polymerization reactor for recycling, and the separated reaction product is discharged from the top of the settling tank and introduced into a first high-pressure separation tank;
[0011] (4) The first separated component discharged from the top of the first high-pressure separation tank is returned to the polymerization reactor to continue to participate in the reaction, and the high component discharged from the bottom of the first high-pressure separation tank is introduced into the first low-pressure separation tank;
[0012] (5) The second separated component discharged from the top of the first low-pressure separation tank is returned to the polymerization reactor to continue to participate in the reaction, and the polymerization product discharged from the bottom of the first low-pressure separation tank is introduced into the primary fractionating column;
[0013] (6) The light component is discharged from the top of the primary fractionating column and returned to the polymerization reactor to continue to participate in the reaction; the intermediate component is discharged from the middle of the primary fractionating column; and the heavy component is discharged from the bottom of the primary fractionating column and returned to the polymerization reactor to continue to participate in the reaction;
[0014] (7) The intermediate component is introduced into the hydrogenation reactor after being washed with water to perform hydrogenation reaction and form a hydrogenation product; in the hydrogenation reactor, the organic chloride in the intermediate component reacts with zinc oxide in the dechlorination agent to form zinc chloride, so that the hydrogen chloride is fixed on the dechlorination agent, and the hydrogenation product becomes a dechlorination product;
[0015] (8) The dechlorination product is introduced into the dechlorination reactor filled with the dechlorination agent, the hydrogen chloride reacts with the zinc oxide in the dechlorination agent to form zinc chloride, so that the hydrogen chloride is fixed on the dechlorination agent, and the hydrogenation product becomes a dechlorination product; the dechlorination product is subjected to high-pressure separation and low-pressure separation in the second high-pressure separation tank and the second low-pressure separation tank in sequence; the hydrogen gas separated from the top of the second high-pressure separation tank is returned to the hydrogenation reactor for recycling, and the crude hydrogen separated from the top of the second low-pressure separation tank is sent to a flare for combustion;
[0016] (9) The liquid-phase product separated from the bottom of the second low-pressure separation tank is introduced into the stabilizing column, the gas-phase product separated from the top of the stabilizing column is sent to a flare, and the product separated from the bottom of the stabilizing column is the SAF product.
[0017] The primary fractionating column is a fractionating column, the polymerization product is introduced into the middle of the primary fractionating column, the feed temperature of the primary fractionating column is 250°C, the top temperature is controlled at 150±3°C, the bottom temperature is controlled at 295-300°C, and the pressure in the column is 0.05-0.1 MPa.
[0018] The stabilizing column is a fractionating column, the liquid-phase product is introduced into the middle of the stabilizing column, the feed temperature of the stabilizing column is 210-230°C, the top temperature is controlled at 150±3°C, the bottom temperature is controlled at 220±3°C, and the pressure in the column is 0.05-0.1 MPa.
[0019] The main component of the first separated component is C2 olefin, and the main component of the second separated component is C3 and C4 olefin.
[0020] Specifically, the green olefin is formed by dehydration of biomass alcohol or green methanol, and the content of ethylene in the green olefin is 0.1-50 wt%, the content of propylene is 30-70 wt%, and the content of butene is 5-30 wt%.
[0021] The wastewater generated by the intermediate component in the water washing process enters the wastewater treatment system for harmless treatment. Specifically, the dechlorination agent in the dechlorination reactor specifically adopts a zinc oxide-based dechlorination agent, the main component of which is zinc oxide (ZnO), or zinc oxide is used in combination with other metal oxides (such as aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, copper oxide, etc.), to realize the dechlorination function through physical adsorption and chemical reaction. The reaction principle is that zinc oxide reacts irreversibly with HCl to form stable zinc chloride (ZnCl2), and the reaction formula is:
[0022] ZnO + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2O
[0023] At the same time, the carrier (such as activated alumina) in the dechlorination agent provides physical adsorption capacity, improving the chlorine capacity and dechlorination efficiency.
[0024] In the present application, the light components separated from the first high-pressure separation tank, the first low-pressure separation tank and the primary fractionating column, and the heavy components discharged from the bottom of the primary fractionating column are all returned to the polymerization reactor for further reaction, forming a light and heavy component full recycling process, so that more than 99% of the products are SAF, and the utilization rate of raw materials is improved. The light components returned to the polymerization reactor mainly participate in oligomerization, and the heavy components are cracked to form small molecule products and large molecule products, wherein the small molecule products continue to participate in oligomerization or combine with large molecules, and the large molecule products are part of the SAF product.
[0025] The intermediate component in the present application is only washed with water, and the alkali washing process in the ionic liquid or aluminum chloride polymerization technology is cancelled. Since the present application adopts a light and heavy component full recycling process, a small amount of modified ionic liquid catalyst dissolved in the reaction product can return to the polymerization reactor with the heavy component, thereby the alkali washing process can be cancelled, and only water washing process can be used to clean the intermediate component, reducing the amount of waste discharge and improving the environmental friendliness of production.
[0026] The oligomerization reaction in the present application adopts a modified ionic liquid catalysis process, which has high catalyst activity, mild reaction conditions, reduces energy consumption, and can avoid the problem of frequent coking of solid catalysts.
[0027] The light component discharged from the top of the primary fractionating tower is mainly C5-C7 hydrocarbon products, and the heavy component discharged from the bottom of the primary fractionating tower is mainly hydrocarbon products greater than C16. The C5-C7 hydrocarbon products continue to participate in the oligomerization reaction after being returned to the polymerization reactor. The hydrocarbon products greater than C16 are cracked and disproportionated under the action of the modified ionic liquid catalyst after being returned to the polymerization reactor to generate C8-C16 components, so that the final product is only the SAF product, and the yield of the SAF product is improved.
[0028] Specifically, in step (1), the molecular sieve is used for dehydration, and the molecular sieve is at least one of 3A, 4A, 5A or 13X. Green olefins are produced by dehydration of biomass alcohol or green methanol, and the water content is usually 50-500 PPM. Water will hydrolyze with AlCl3 in the ionic liquid to generate HCl and Al(OH)3. Therefore, too high water content is toxic to the catalyst. The above-mentioned molecular sieves all have good dehydration performance, and can remove the water in the green olefins to less than 5 ppm to prolong the service life of the catalyst.
[0029] Specifically, in step (2), the polymerization reactor is a tubular reactor, a stirred reaction kettle or a tower reactor. When the polymerization reactor is a tubular reactor, the tubular reactor is filled with a packing, the material of the packing is ceramic, corundum, quartz or inert alumina, and the shape of the packing is at least one of spherical, annular or saddle-shaped. In actual production process, the specific equipment can be selected according to the specific equipment.
[0030] Further, in step (2), during the oligomerization reaction, the reaction pressure is 2.0-6.0 MPa, the reaction temperature is 50-150℃, the mass ratio of the modified ionic liquid catalyst to the dry olefin is (2-20):100, and the reaction time is 1-30 min.
[0031] When the polymerization reactor is a tubular reactor or a stirred reaction kettle, the dry olefin and the modified ionic liquid catalyst are both fed into the polymerization reactor from the bottom of the polymerization reactor, and the reaction mixture and the modified ionic liquid catalyst are both discharged from the top of the polymerization reactor. When the polymerization reactor is a tower reactor, the dry olefin is fed into the reactor from the lower part of the tower reactor, and the modified ionic liquid catalyst is fed into the tower reactor from the upper part. After the dry olefin and the modified ionic liquid catalyst are countercurrently contacted and reacted, part of the modified ionic liquid catalyst is discharged from the bottom of the tower reactor and returned to the tower reactor through a catalyst circulating pump, and part of the modified ionic liquid catalyst is discharged from the top of the tower reactor and enters a settling tank with the reaction mixture.
[0032] Specifically, in step (2), the cation in the modified ionic liquid catalyst is at least one of imidazole cation, quaternary ammonium cation or pyridine cation, and the anion is AlCl4- / Al2Cl7 - , the modifier is TiCl n . The TiCl n Specifically, at least one of TiCl4 or TiCl3. The imidazole cation is specifically 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole cation, 1-propyl-3-methylimidazole cation, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole cation, 1-pentyl-3-methylimidazole cation, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazole cation, 1-benzyl-3-methylimidazole cation, 1-ethyl acetate-3-methylimidazole cation, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazole cation or 1-2 (hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazole cation, the quaternary ammonium cation is specifically diethylammonium cation, trimethylammonium cation, triethylammonium cation, tri-n-propylammonium cation, tri-n-butylammonium cation, tetraethylammonium cation or tetrabutylammonium cation, the pyridine cation is specifically N-n-butylpyridine cation, N-propylpyridine cation, N-ethylpyridine cation or N-butyl-N-methylpiperidine cation.
[0033] The modified ionic liquid catalyst in the application is actually aluminum trichloride-based ionic liquid modified by TiCl n In modern chemical theory, it is generally believed that the reaction mechanism of ionic liquid catalyzed olefin oligomerization follows the carbonium ion mechanism, specifically:
[0034] The metal chloride hydrolyzes with trace amount of water in the reaction system to generate hydrogen ions, which then react with olefin molecules to generate carbonium ions, and then generate oligomerization products through chain growth, chain transfer, chain rearrangement and deprotonation. Taking metal chloride catalyzed isobutene as an example, the reaction equation is as follows:
[0035]
[0036] Another view is that the metal chloride is "self-ionized" to generate positive ions to initiate polymerization. Taking TiCl4 catalyzed isobutene polymerization as an example, the reaction principle is as follows:
[0037]
[0038] The metal chloride ionic liquid catalyst for olefin polymerization generally adopts aluminum chloride-based ionic liquid, because the acidity of aluminum chloride is higher, and the catalytic polymerization activity is higher; the high acidity of aluminum chloride makes it have strong olefin cracking function. The catalytic cracking of the acidic catalyst is also dominated by the carbocation mechanism, and the carbocation cracking mechanism is divided into bimolecular cracking and monomolecular cracking mechanism. Generally speaking, short-chain olefins mostly follow the bimolecular cracking mechanism, and long-chain olefins mainly follow the monomolecular cracking mechanism. Studies have shown that the main cracking mechanism of butene is bimolecular mechanism, pentene and hexene are both single-molecule and bimolecular cracking, and heptene and octene are mainly single-molecule cracking mechanism. Studies have shown that the essence of the bimolecular cracking mechanism of olefins is that two short-chain olefin molecules are polymerized into a long-chain olefin molecule for cracking, and the essential mechanism is the same as the monomolecular mechanism, that is, the long-chain olefin molecule forms a carbocation under the action of the acidic catalyst, and then β-fragmentation (β-cracking) occurs, thereby forming one small olefin molecule and one small carbocation.
[0039] The strength of the catalyst acidity will affect the reaction energy barrier of various reactions, and the higher the catalyst acidity, the lower the reaction energy barrier of the protonation and β-cracking of the olefin, and the more prone to polymerization and cracking reaction. However, the main component of SAF is C8-C16 component, and if aluminum chloride-based ionic liquid is directly used, a large amount of light components will be produced, and even if the light component is recycled by the process, higher energy consumption will be caused, resulting in an increase in cost. Therefore, TiCl n is added to the aluminum chloride-based ionic liquid.
[0040] Since the electronegativity of Ti is lower than that of Al, the addition of TiCl n reduces the electron-withdrawing ability of Al, thereby reducing the acidity of the catalyst. TiCl n itself has a catalytic function and also has a catalytic effect on olefin polymerization. By controlling the appropriate proportion of modification, the combined action of the two can slightly increase the polymerization reaction activity of the catalyst, and at the same time reduce the cracking performance of the catalyst, so that the C5-C7 component in the polymerization product is reduced. At the same time, Ti can form a double-chlorine bridge connection structure with Al, for example, TiCl3, and its structure is as follows:
[0041]
[0042] The structure is conducive to the increase of the olefin polymerization chain, so that the polymerization product is developed to the heavy direction.
[0043] The molar ratio of Ti element to Al element is controlled to be (0.05-0.2):1, and the anion is mainly AlCl4 - / Al2Cl7 -so that the product does not produce too many C16 components. With the polymerization catalyst, the C8-C16 component selectivity of the polymerization product reaches 85-90%, the C5-C7 component is less than 10%, and the content of components greater than C16 is less than 5%. At the same time, because the main anion of the catalyst is AlCl4 - / Al2Cl7 - , the heavy components that can be recycled are cracked, thereby avoiding the continuous extension of the molecular chain to obtain the SAF component.
[0044] Specifically, in the modified ionic liquid catalyst, the molar ratio of the cation to the anion is 1:(1.5-2.5). In this application, the anion is AlCl4 - / Al2Cl7 - , when the molar fraction of AlCl3 in the ionic liquid is <0.5, Al 3+ exists in the form of AlCl4 - , and other anions are Cl - . Relative to AlCl3, the excess Cl - is a weak base, which causes the overall ionic liquid to exhibit weak basicity. When the molar fraction of AlCl3 is 0.5, the ionic liquid exhibits neutrality. Therefore, when the molar fraction of AlCl3 is ≤0.5, the corresponding ionic liquid does not have catalytic activity. When the molar fraction of AlCl3 is >0.5, AlCl3 combines with AlCl4 - to form the anion Al2Cl7 - , which exhibits Lewis acidity. To ensure the proper catalytic function of the modified ionic liquid catalyst, the molar ratio of the cation to the anion is controlled to be 1:(1.5-2.5). When the molar ratio of the anion to the cation is less than 1.5:1, the anion Al2Cl7 - is less, the Lewis acidity is not enough, the activity of the catalyst is not high, and the conversion rate of the raw material is low; when the molar ratio is greater than 2.5:1, excess AlCl3 combines with Al2Cl7 - to form a large amount of the anion Al3Cl 10 - , the acidity is too strong, which causes too much cracking and a large amount of light components.
[0045] Specifically, in the modified ionic liquid catalyst, the molar ratio of Ti to Al is (0.05-0.2):1. Below this range, the content of the Ti-Al double chloro bridge structure is too small to modify the catalyst, the catalyst has strong acidity, and the cracking performance is high; above this range, the acidity of the catalyst is greatly reduced, the polymerization activity is reduced, the conversion rate of the raw material is reduced, and there are more Ti-Al double chloro bridge structures, the polymerization degree is deepened, and the product is heavy.
[0046] Further, the modified ionic liquid catalyst is prepared as follows: under the protection of nitrogen atmosphere, cation chloride and AlCl3 are added into a synthesis reactor, stirring is maintained, and after reaction at 70-120°C for 0.5-10h, TiCl n is further added, and the reaction is continued for 1-5h to obtain the modified ionic liquid catalyst. The cation chloride refers to the chloride of imidazole, quaternary ammonium or pyridine. If the reaction temperature is too low, the components of the catalyst do not react completely, and there are some insoluble substances, the components of the generated ionic liquid are not in the ideal ratio, and the activity cannot meet the requirements. If the reaction temperature is too high, the energy consumption is increased, and even some components (AlCl3 or TiCl4) are generated or volatilized. If the reaction time is too short, the reaction is not complete, and the catalyst activity is affected. If the reaction time is too long, the synthesis energy consumption is increased.
[0047] Further, in step (7), the hydrogenation reactor is a fixed bed reactor, and the hydrogenation catalyst is a nickel-based catalyst modified by Mo or W. In the hydrogenation catalyst, the content of nickel is 15-50wt%, and the content of Mo or W is 1-5wt%. The reaction temperature of the hydrogenation reaction is 150-280°C, the reaction pressure is 2.0-8.0MPa, the mass space velocity is 0.2-1.0h -1 , and the volume ratio of hydrogen to oil is (300-500):1. Although increasing the hydrogenation temperature is beneficial to the reaction, too high temperature will cause cracking. Too low temperature cannot decompose all the organic chlorides to completely remove the organic chlorides in the product. Increasing the reaction pressure is beneficial to the hydrogenation, and the higher the reaction pressure, the higher the hydrogen partial pressure, which is beneficial to the forward direction of the hydrogenation reaction, can effectively prevent the coking reaction of the catalyst, is beneficial to the protection of the catalyst, and improves the stability of the catalyst. However, increasing the reaction pressure requires increasing the pressure rating of the production equipment and the operating cost. Reducing the pressure is not conducive to the hydrogenation reaction, and will lead to incomplete hydrogenation. Reducing the space velocity is beneficial to the hydrogenation, and low space velocity is also beneficial to the reduction of the reaction temperature, less cracking, and better product quality. However, the demand for catalyst is larger, and the investment cost is increased. Increasing the space velocity is not conducive to the hydrogenation reaction, and will lead to incomplete hydrogenation. Increasing the hydrogen to oil ratio is beneficial to the hydrogenation reaction, and can make the raw material oil more evenly distributed in the catalyst, can avoid the hot spot of the catalyst bed, and the circulating hydrogen is the heat carrier of the reaction, which can control the bed temperature rise. However, too high hydrogen to oil ratio will increase the system pressure drop, shorten the contact time of the oil and the catalyst, and lead to the decrease of the reaction depth, increase the load of the circulating machine, and increase the power consumption. Too low hydrogen to oil ratio will easily cause insufficient hydrogenation capacity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The unexplained related process can be prepared by using the existing conventional process. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the catalyst preparation method can be to load nickel and molybdenum on Al2O3 by impregnation method.
[0062] In the following examples 1-3, the following flow was used:
[0063] The evaluation process of the catalytic activity of the modified ionic liquid catalyst was carried out in the stirring reaction kettle 32 lined with tetrafluoroethylene.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 The evaluation process of the catalytic activity of the modified ionic liquid catalyst was carried out in the stirring reaction kettle 32 lined with tetrafluoroethylene.
[0065] The dried olefins were heated by the refrigerant channel of the raw material heat exchanger 51, and then entered the stirring reaction kettle 32 together with the fresh modified ionic liquid catalyst 102 through the bottom to carry out oligomerization reaction. The reaction mixture entrained with the modified ionic liquid catalyst went out from the top of the stirring reaction kettle 32, and then entered the settling tank 33 after being cooled by the heating medium channel of the raw material heat exchanger 51. The separated modified ionic liquid catalyst was discharged from the bottom of the settling tank for recycling, and the separated reaction mixture 331 was discharged from the top of the settling tank 33. After detecting the components in the reaction mixture, the catalytic activity of the modified ionic liquid catalyst was evaluated. The fresh modified ionic liquid catalyst 102 was transported by the catalyst pump 12.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 2, the evaluation process for the full circulation of light and heavy components is as follows:
[0067] (1) Under the action of the raw material pump 11, the green olefins 101 as raw materials are dehydrated to a water content of <5PPm together with the first separated component, the second separated component and the light component recycled from the dryer packed with 3A molecular sieves to form dry olefins.
[0068] (2) The dry olefins are heated by the coolant channel of the raw material heat exchanger 51 and then enter the bottom of the stirred reaction kettle 32 together with the heavy component recycled and the modified ionic liquid catalyst to perform oligomerization reaction and form a reaction mixture. Fresh modified ionic liquid catalyst 102 is delivered by the catalyst pump 12.
[0069] (3) The reaction mixture entraining the modified ionic liquid catalyst is discharged from the top of the stirred reaction kettle 32 and then cooled by the heating medium channel of the raw material heat exchanger 51, and then enters the settling tank 33 for separation. The separated modified ionic liquid catalyst is discharged from the bottom of the settling tank 33 and then returned to the polymerization reactor from the bottom of the polymerization reactor under the action of the first circulation pump 13 for recycling. The separated reaction product is discharged from the top of the settling tank 33 and then enters the first high-pressure separation tank 34.
[0070] (4) The first separated component rich in C2 olefins discharged from the tank top of the first high-pressure separation tank 34 enters the first buffer tank 52 and is mixed with the second separated component described below, and then is compressed by the first compressor 21 and mixed with the green olefins and the light component described below, and then is returned to the stirred reaction kettle 32 to continue to participate in the reaction. The high component discharged from the tank bottom of the first high-pressure separation tank 34 enters the first low-pressure separation tank 35. The pressure in the first high-pressure separation tank is provided by the pressure carried by the reaction product itself.
[0071] (5) The second separated component rich in C3 and C4 olefins discharged from the tank top of the first low-pressure separation tank 35 also enters the first buffer tank and is mixed with the first separated component, and then is returned to the stirred reaction kettle by the first compressor 21 to continue to participate in the reaction.
