Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of oil dechlorination agents. More specifically, it relates to a low-temperature liquid-phase dechlorination agent based on blast furnace slag and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] There are two forms of chlorides in petroleum products: organic chlorides and inorganic chlorides. During petroleum processing, most inorganic chlorides can be removed through electro-desalting and dehydration. However, a small portion is difficult to remove and hydrolyzes during subsequent distillation, producing corrosive hydrogen chloride, which can exacerbate pipeline and equipment corrosion, cause catalyst poisoning, lead to pipeline blockage, and jeopardize normal equipment operation. Organic chlorides in crude oil mainly exist in the form of chlorinated alkanes, which are insoluble in water and therefore cannot be removed by conventional desalting and dehydration methods.

[0003] Blast furnace slag is a byproduct of ironmaking, producing approximately 300 to 350 kilograms of blast furnace slag per ton of pig iron. With the continuous progress and development of the metallurgical industry, blast furnace slag production remains high. Currently, my country's resource utilization of blast furnace slag is somewhat insufficient, resulting in a very high accumulation of blast furnace slag in the country, with current stockpiles exceeding 1 billion tons.

[0004] Currently, several dechlorinating agents have been developed both domestically and internationally for pre-hydrogenation of oil products, ammonia produced as a byproduct of reforming, and regenerated reformate. Dechlorination of reformate has also received attention and research. The traditional process for oil dechlorination involves converting organic chlorine into inorganic chlorine through hydrogenation, followed by the removal of the inorganic chlorine. Therefore, research on oil dechlorination largely focuses on the removal of inorganic chlorine, with less research on the direct adsorption and removal of organic chlorine from oil products. For processes where hydrogenation is unnecessary, adding a hydrogenation unit solely for dechlorination is undoubtedly uneconomical. This is particularly true for small and medium-sized refineries without hydrogenation capabilities.

[0005] US5928500 describes a method for removing trace amounts of organochlorides from hydrocarbon components. This method uses porous silica with a high specific surface area as a carrier and metals or metal oxides of Ni, Co, or iron and mixtures thereof as adsorbents to convert organochlorides into metal chlorides, thereby removing them.

[0006] CN104437342A discloses a low-temperature liquid-phase molecular sieve dechlorinating agent suitable for removing hydrogen chloride from reforming oil. The active components are oxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, and the auxiliary components are copper oxide, iron oxide, or zinc oxide. This dechlorinating agent uses a carbonaceous carrier, has a complex preparation process, and is costly. It also poses a risk of combustion and explosion during high-temperature calcination, and the active components are easily lost. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the issues of complex preparation processes, high costs, and low strength in existing technologies, this invention provides a low-temperature liquid-phase dechlorinating agent based on blast furnace slag and its preparation method. The dechlorinating agent prepared by this invention possesses high radial crushing resistance and good organic chlorine removal rate.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention provides a liquid-phase dechlorination agent, wherein the raw materials of the dechlorination agent, by mass percentage, include 40%~60% blast furnace slag, 40%~60% molecular sieve, and 5%~10% additives; Furthermore, the preparation method includes: (1) Grind the water-quenched blast furnace slag into fine powder, add organic acid, stir at 70°C for 2 hours, filter to obtain filtrate A and precipitate B, and dry precipitate B for later use. (2) Add molecular sieve to solution A, stir at 70°C for 4 hours, and filter to obtain mixture C; (3) After mixing B, C and the corresponding mass of additives, the mixture is extruded into strips, dried and calcined, and then added to solution A for soaking for 4 hours. After filtration, drying and calcination, the dechlorinating agent is obtained.

[0009] Furthermore, the blast furnace slag used is water-quenched, and its main components, by mass percentage, are 40.7%-44.6% CaO, 30.2%-35.2% SiO2, 10.1%-14.3% Al2O3, 7.4%-9.8% MgO, and 3.5%-4.2% Fe2O3. 3; Furthermore, the molecular sieve is an X-type or Y-type molecular sieve; Furthermore, the additive is boehmite or aluminum sol; Furthermore, the acid solution used in the preparation method is a 20% acetic acid solution or a 20% citric acid solution; Furthermore, the drying temperature is 105-120℃ for 2-6 hours, and the calcination temperature is 400-600℃ for 3-8 hours. Furthermore, the liquid-phase dechlorination agent has a strength of 100-140 N / cm and a specific surface area of ​​560-650 m². 2 / g, with a pore volume of 0.35-0.42ml / g.

[0010] Furthermore, the dechlorinating agent prepared by this institute is used to adsorb and remove organic chlorine from reformed oil, with an operating temperature of 20-90℃ and an operating pressure of 0.5-3 MPa.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. After water quenching, the main metallic components of blast furnace slag are CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, MgO, and Fe2O3. After organic acid treatment, the filter residue is amorphous silica with a huge specific surface area and abundant pore structure, which inherently possesses physical adsorption properties. Impregnating it with composite metal oxides allows for strong chemical adsorption between the oxygen vacancy defects generated by the active components and the chlorine atoms in the organic chlorine.

[0012] 2. Compared with strong inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, organic acids are relatively weaker. When molecular sieves are modified with organic acids, the reaction is less violent, reducing the risk of crystal structure damage or even collapse due to excessive removal of framework elements. This can better maintain the crystallinity and framework integrity of the molecular sieve. Metal ion modification can improve the surface chemical properties of the molecular sieve, especially the surface acid properties, and enhance the dechlorination ability of the molecular sieve.

[0013] 3. Amorphous silica and modified molecular sieves are extruded into strips and then impregnated with a metal acid solution. The filtrate is rich in metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, which is equivalent to an organic acid salt solution. After impregnation, these salts decompose and form highly dispersed alkaline metal oxide active sites on the surface or in the pores of the molecular sieve. These sites have a strong chemical adsorption capacity for chlorine, which can not only improve the strength of the dechlorinating agent, but also improve the removal rate. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following are the specificity, pore volume, and strength data:

[0026] The dechlorinating agents prepared in each embodiment and comparative example were subjected to performance tests for removing organochlorines. Specifically, oil with a chlorine content of approximately 100 mg / L was subjected to tests at 70°C, 1.5 MPa, and a liquid hourly space velocity of 2 h⁻¹. -1 Under the specified conditions, a liquid-phase dynamic dechlorination experiment was conducted. The outlet chlorine content was determined using a coulometric analyzer. The removal rate was calculated according to the formula: Removal rate = (Inlet chlorine content - Outlet chlorine content) / Inlet chlorine content * 100%. The results are shown in the table below.

[0027] Comparative Examples 1 and 4 show that direct extrusion of molecular sieves with blast furnace slag increases strength but reduces removal rate. Comparative Examples 3 and 6 show that blank molecular sieves exhibit good removal rate initially, but decrease significantly over time, reaching 15% in the later stages. Comparative Examples 2 and 5 show that samples without secondary impregnation have a high removal rate before 6 hours, but their stability weakens slightly in the later stages. Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4 show that after modifying molecular sieves with filtrate, the remaining filtrate can be fully utilized to further modify the dechlorination agent precursor, enhancing its dechlorination stability.

[0028] By selectively activating blast furnace slag with organic acids and pre-modifying molecular sieves with their filtrate, the activated solid components are then combined with the modified molecular sieves, molded, and subjected to secondary impregnation and activation. This process not only improves the strength but also enhances the stability of the dechlorinating agent. The dechlorination rate remains above 85% even after 24 hours of operation, thus achieving high-value-added resource utilization of waste blast furnace slag.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
