Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of comprehensive utilization of light naphtha, specifically to a method for hydrogenating and upgrading light naphtha rich in isoalkane to produce steam cracking feedstock for low-carbon olefins. Background Technology
[0002] Ethylene and propylene, as basic chemicals, have seen their equivalent consumption increase year by year. Currently, the production of low-carbon olefins such as ethylene and propylene in the petrochemical industry is mainly achieved through light naphtha cracking. However, since the isoalkanes content in light naphtha is generally above 50%, especially in hydrocracking light naphtha where the isoalkanes proportion exceeds 70%, direct use as steam cracking feed results in poor cracking performance and low low-carbon olefin yields. Increasing the n-alkanes content in light naphtha can effectively improve the quality of feedstock for steam cracking to produce olefins, thereby increasing the yield of low-carbon olefins.
[0003] CN202110699202.X proposes a method for the ortho-articulation of light naphtha. This method involves mixing light naphtha feedstock with hydrogen and introducing the mixture from the bottom of a reactor after heating. The mixture undergoes a liquid-solid-based hydrocatalytic ortho-articulation reaction. An upflow, reaction-separation hybrid reactor is employed, combining both reaction and separation functions. This method results in high hydrocarbon ortho-articulation efficiency and significantly reduces energy consumption, operating costs, and construction costs of the ortho-articulation unit.
[0004] CN202011414744.X proposes a method and system for increasing the production of low-carbon olefins and aromatics, comprising the following steps: (1) sending light naphtha to a normal-isomeric separation unit to produce normal and non-normal components; (2) sending the non-normal components to a hydrocracking unit and separating them to obtain refinery dry gas, propane, n-butane and isobutane; the non-normal components may also be sent to an aromatization unit and separated to obtain refinery dry gas, propane, n-butane and isobutane and C5. + Components; (3) Ethylene and propylene are obtained by processing refinery dry gas, propane, n-butane and isobutane in different ways. This method can significantly improve the yield of low-carbon olefins and aromatics, improve the utilization efficiency of naphtha, and achieve rational allocation of resources.
[0005] The aforementioned methods for improving light naphtha as a steam cracking feedstock are mainly achieved through normal-isomeric separation or normalization reaction. However, normal-isomeric separation has high energy consumption and low equipment efficiency, while normalization reaction is limited by chemical equilibrium and has a low conversion rate.

Further, the content of the Group VIII metal in the solution containing the Group VIII metal amine complex, calculated as oxide, is 1-15 g / 100 mL.
[0023] Furthermore, the ZSM-5 & SAPO-34 eutectic molecular sieve described in step (1) can be prepared using the following steps:
[0024] (a) Mix silicon source, aluminum source, phosphorus source, template agent and water, and crystallize to obtain SAPO-34 molecular sieve;

[0026] Further, in step (a), the molar ratio of silicon source, aluminum source, phosphorus source, template agent, and water is (0.2–1.0) SiO2 : 1.0 Al2O3 : (0.9–1.2) P2O5 : (0.5–8) R (template agent) : (10–200) H2O.

[0031] Further, the closed impregnation process in step (1) is as follows: ZSM-5 & SAPO-34 eutectic molecular sieve is mixed with a solution containing a Group VIII metal amine complex and placed in a closed reaction vessel. Then, the mixture is heated to 100–120°C and subjected to autogenous pressure for 2–4 hours of stirring and impregnation, with a stirring speed of 100–400 rpm.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0039] Light naphtha mainly consists of short-chain alkanes such as C5 and C6. In the process of hydrogenation to produce small molecule hydrocarbons such as C2 and C3, the adsorption and dehydrogenation of alkanes are difficult to carry out. As the controlling step of the overall reaction, strengthening the adsorption capacity of alkanes on acidic sites and improving the dehydrogenation capacity of the catalyst are beneficial to the hydrogenation conversion of light naphtha.
[0040] In the catalyst preparation process of this invention, a group III metal amine complex solution is used to impregnate the molecular sieve under self-generated pressure. The basic groups of the metal amine complex selectively adsorb and bind to the acidic sites within the molecular sieve pores. This results in a more uniform dispersion of the group III metal active particles with stronger dehydrogenation activity and a significantly shorter distance between the metal active sites and the acidic sites of the molecular sieve. This enhances the adsorption of light naphtha molecules at the acidic sites, increasing the dehydrogenation rate of the reactants. After dehydrogenation, the olefin products rapidly generate carbocations under the influence of the acidic sites, promoting the cracking of light naphtha molecules. Impregnation of macroporous alumina with a mixed aqueous solution of group VIB and VIII metal salts allows for the selective adsorption of bimetallic active sites with stronger hydrogenation activity within the macroporous alumina. This enables the small-molecule olefins obtained from the cracking of light hydrocarbons to rapidly saturate after diffusing out of the molecular sieve pores, thus improving catalytic activity.
[0041] In the method of this invention, the acidic centers of the hydroconversion catalyst are ZSM-5 & SAPO-34 eutectic molecular sieves. Compared with the simple mechanical mixing of the two molecular sieves, the acidic centers of the eutectic molecular sieve are more uniformly distributed, which fully leverages the high acid strength cracking function of ZSM-5 molecular sieve and the pore confinement synergistic catalytic function of SAPO-34 molecular sieve, effectively improving the selectivity of C2 and C3 low-carbon products.
[0042] In the method of this invention, light naphtha is converted into a mixed product containing a high proportion of ethane and propane, which is used as a feedstock for steam cracking and can effectively improve the yield of low-carbon olefins. Attached Figure Description

[0054] C2+C3 yield = (mass of C2 and C3 in the product / total mass of the product) × 100%;
[0055] C2+C3 selectivity = (C2+C3 yield) / conversion rate × 100%;
