Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal chemical industry, and specifically to a method for preparing coal-based rocket kerosene. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of aerospace technology and the successive deployment of new-generation launch vehicles, the development of environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and pollution-free liquid propellants has become a trend in liquid propellant development. Among these, rocket kerosene has gained widespread application due to its numerous advantages, including high density, room-temperature storage, wide availability, low toxicity, and safety. Furthermore, considering engine development, reliability testing, random sampling tests, and the development and testing of heavy-lift launch vehicle engines, the demand for aerospace kerosene will further expand to 20,000 tons per year, and this figure is showing a year-on-year increasing trend.

[0003] With dwindling oil resources and a high risk of depletion, the development of new aerospace liquid fuels is imperative to ensure a sustainable and diversified supply. In recent years, as coal chemical production technology has matured and stabilized, the development of alternative energy technologies based primarily on coal-based liquid fuels has gained increasing attention. Coal-based liquid fuels are mainly divided into three categories: direct coal liquefaction oil, indirect coal liquefaction oil, and coal tar fuel oil. Among these, coal tar fuel has been frequently reported for use in the production of aerospace kerosene. Its aromatic hydrocarbon content, exceeding 95%, determines the conditions for conversion into rocket kerosene. However, the high aromatic hydrocarbon content also indicates that coal tar fuel has disadvantages such as low hydrogen content and low calorific value.

[0004] Patent application CN104789260A discloses a method for producing rocket kerosene from coal tar. The method involves separating a fraction with a boiling point of 190-300℃ from the coal tar, and then hydrorefining this fraction in a fixed-bed reactor to obtain a hydrorefined product. The hydrorefined product is then fractionated, and a fraction with a boiling point of 190-280℃ is collected to obtain the rocket kerosene product. Patent application CN103305266A discloses a method for preparing coal-based military fuel and the resulting military fuel. The method involves distilling a feedstock oil (at least one of direct coal liquefaction oil, kerosene co-refining oil, or pretreated coal tar) into at least a light fraction and a heavy fraction. The light fraction is fed into a hydrorefining reactor for further hydrorefining. The hydrorefined oil is then cooled, separated into gas and liquid phases, and then fractionated in a fractionating tower to obtain the military fuel. However, coal tar has a very high aromatic content (over 95%), but it also has the disadvantages of low hydrogen content and low calorific value. Using coal tar to hydrogenate and increase its hydrogen content and calorific value to produce rocket kerosene is relatively expensive.

[0005] Therefore, how to prepare aerospace kerosene using coal-based liquid fuels is currently a bottleneck, and it is crucial for expanding the raw materials and methods for preparing aerospace kerosene and solving the energy crisis. Summary of the Invention
