Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a separation technique for Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil, specifically to a method and system for separating 1-hexene from Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil. Background Technology
[0002] Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is the core technology of coal-to-oil processes, primarily involving the catalytic conversion of syngas into gasoline, diesel, and other hydrocarbon products. However, its product, crude FT oil, is mainly used as a primary chemical feedstock or fuel oil, resulting in low economic efficiency and weak market competitiveness when oil prices remain low for extended periods. Fischer-Tropsch washed naphtha is characterized by its high content of α-olefins (>50%), straight-chain hydrocarbons, small amounts of cycloalkanes, and almost no aromatic hydrocarbons. Separating the long-chain α-olefins from FT oil can not only yield high-value-added long-chain olefins but also produce clean, high-quality aviation kerosene, lubricating oil base oils, or specialty solvent oils, thereby enhancing the resilience of coal-based FT oil to market risks.
[0003] 1-Hexene, as an important organic raw material and chemical intermediate, is mainly used in the production of high-end polyethylene (PE). The market potential for metallocene LLDPE resin copolymerized with 1-hexene is enormous; currently, over 95% of the comonomers used in LLDPE preparation are 1-butene. As the use of 1-hexene comonomers in LLDPE resin production gradually expands, more 1-butene monomers will be used to produce general-purpose products.
[0004] Currently, the Fischer-Tropsch products from the 4 million tons / year coal-to-oil project are mainly used as primary chemical feedstocks or semi-finished oil products. Among them, the intermediate product, oil-washed naphtha, is generally hydrogenated to become refined naphtha, resulting in a great waste of α-olefin resources. Separating α-olefins from Fischer-Tropsch oil products and obtaining high-value-added α-olefin products can improve the economic benefits of coal-to-oil enterprises and their ability to resist market risks.
[0005] Currently reported methods for separating and purifying 1-hexene from Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oils mainly employ extractive distillation to remove oxygen-containing compounds from the C6 fraction. However, this technology suffers from drawbacks such as high oxide content in the final product, which affects polymerization efficiency, and a complex deoxygenation process. Furthermore, the purity of 1-hexene obtained from commonly used separation techniques is insufficient to meet the requirements for subsequent fine chemical preparation. Therefore, there is a need to further improve the purity of 1-hexene products separated from Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oils. Summary of the Invention

[0069] In the method described in this invention, the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil is subjected to deacidification treatment to remove acidic substances, such as organic acids, from the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil. In some embodiments, the specific method of deacidification treatment includes: reacting the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil with an alkaline solution, then washing the reacted material with water, then separating the oil phase material to obtain an oil phase material, and then subjecting the obtained oil phase material to a first distillation to obtain C6 and C62. + Fraction. Specifically, the composition of the alkaline solution described in this invention is not limited, and can be selected with reference to common techniques in the art.
[0070] In the method described in this invention, the first distillation is carried out in a first distillation column. Specifically, the first distillation column has 40-60 theoretical plates and a reflux ratio of 4-12. In some preferred embodiments, the top pressure of the first distillation column is 0.1-0.2 MPaG, the top temperature is 40-60°C, and the bottom temperature is 120-140°C. Specifically, C5 and C52 are collected from the top of the first distillation column. - The distillate fraction, C6 and C62 were collected from the bottom of the first distillation column. + Distillate fraction.
[0071] In the method described in this invention, C6 and C6 + The fraction is further subjected to a second distillation to obtain the C6 fraction. In this invention, the C6 fraction contains 6 carbon atoms. In some embodiments, the second distillation is carried out in a second distillation column. Specifically, the second distillation column has 40-60 theoretical plates, a reflux ratio of 5-15, a top temperature of 55-65°C, and a bottom temperature of 90-120°C. Specifically, the C6 fraction is collected from the top of the second distillation column, and C7 and C8 fractions are collected from the bottom of the second distillation column. + Distillate fraction.
[0072] In the method described in this invention, the C6 fraction is subjected to hydrodeoxygenation and chemical deoxygenation reactions sequentially to remove oxygen-containing compounds such as alcohols, ketones, and aldehydes from the C6 fraction. Compared to the extraction deoxygenation method used in the prior art, the combination of hydrodeoxygenation and chemical deoxygenation employed in this invention ensures a low oxide content in the separated 1-hexene product, and the deoxygenation adsorption tower can operate for extended periods, ensuring the stability of the overall process.
[0073] In the method described in this invention, the first deoxygenation reaction involves hydrogenating the C6 fraction with hydrogen in the presence of the first deoxygenation catalyst to remove aldehyde oxides and ketone oxides from the C6 fraction.
[0074] In some preferred embodiments, the first deoxygenation catalyst further comprises a first metal, a second metal, and a first support. The first metal is Cu and / or Pt, the second metal is selected from at least one of Ag, Au, Pd, Fe, and Co, and the first support is at least one of SiO2, Al2O3, and TiO2. Specifically, the first metal and the second metal are the active components of the first deoxygenation catalyst, and both the first metal and the second metal are supported on the first support. The first metal and the second metal may exist in the form of metal oxides and / or elemental forms, preferably in the form of elemental metals.
[0075] In the method described in this invention, in order to ensure that the first metal and the second metal in the first deoxygenation catalyst exert maximum catalytic activity, the first deoxygenation catalyst is further required to undergo reduction treatment in hydrogen before use. The reduction conditions are: hydrogen pressure 0.001-1.0 MPa, hydrogen flow rate 50-200 mL / min, reduction temperature 400-600℃, and reduction time 4-10 h.
[0076] In some preferred embodiments, the weight ratio of the first metal to the second metal in the first deoxygenation catalyst is 1 to 20:1, preferably 2 to 8:1.

[0078] In some embodiments, the immersion time is 2-4 hours and the immersion temperature is 20-40°C.
[0079] In some preferred embodiments, the first deoxygenation reaction conditions include: a reaction temperature of 50-200°C and a volume hourly space velocity of 0.01-8 h⁻¹. -1 The pressure is 1-10 MPa.

[0081] In the method described in this invention, the second deoxygenation reaction is carried out in the presence of the second deoxygenation catalyst. The second deoxygenation reaction is a chemical deoxygenation reaction used to remove alcohol oxides from the C6 fraction. Furthermore, in the method described in this invention, by first subjecting the C6 fraction to a hydrodeoxygenation reaction with hydrogen in the presence of the first deoxygenation catalyst to remove aldehyde oxides and ketone oxides from the C6 fraction, the reduction in activity of the second deoxygenation catalyst and catalyst poisoning caused by the aldehyde oxides and ketone oxides contained in the C6 fraction are avoided. This ensures the smooth progress of the second deoxygenation reaction and further improves the removal rate of oxygen-containing compounds in the C6 fraction, thereby increasing the concentration of 1-hexene in the separated product.
[0082] In some preferred embodiments, the second deoxygenation catalyst contains a first metal oxide, a second metal oxide, and a second support, wherein the first metal oxide is selected from at least one of TiO2, La2O3, and ThO2, the second metal oxide is selected from at least one of WO3, Mo3, and Cr2O3, and the support is at least one of SiO2, ZrO2, and Al2O3.
[0083] In some preferred embodiments, to further ensure the complete removal of alcohol oxides contained in the C6 fraction, the weight ratio of the first metal oxide to the second metal oxide in the second deoxygenation catalyst is further defined as 2 to 20:1, preferably 4 to 8:1, and the weight ratio of the total weight of the first metal oxide and the second metal oxide to the weight of the second support is 1:5 to 40, preferably 1:10 to 16.
[0084] In the method described in this invention, further defining the specific components of the second deoxygenation catalyst can further improve the catalyst selectivity and stability, further improve the removal rate of alcohol oxides, and further improve the purity of the separated 1-hexene. By sequentially subjecting the C6 fraction to the first and second deoxygenation reactions, the deoxygenation steps can be simplified while ensuring that aldehyde oxides, ketone oxides, and alcohol oxides contained in the C6 fraction are removed as much as possible, thereby further saving process costs.
[0085] In some preferred embodiments, the preparation method of the second deoxygenation catalyst includes: adjusting the pH of a solution containing the first metal oxide precursor and the second metal oxide precursor to 8-10 using ammonia water under water bath conditions of 60-95°C to obtain a second precursor solution; then immersing the second support in the second precursor solution and aging it; and then calcining the aged solid phase at 400-600°C for 4-8 hours.
[0086] In some embodiments, the immersion time is 1-2 hours and the immersion temperature is 20-40°C;
[0087] In some embodiments, the aging time is 4-6 hours and the aging temperature is 20-40°C.
[0088] In the method described in this invention, the combination of hydrodeoxygenation and chemical deoxygenation can further ensure the removal of oxygen-containing compounds from the C6 fraction, and the deoxygenation efficiency is further improved by limiting the deoxygenation catalyst used in the hydrodeoxygenation and chemical deoxygenation processes, thereby increasing the yield of high-purity 1-hexene.
[0089] In the method described in this invention, the material after the second deoxygenation reaction is etherified with a low-carbon alcohol, and the tertiary olefins in the material are further etherified with the low-carbon alcohol under the action of an etherification catalyst to generate high-boiling-point ethers. The high-boiling-point ethers are further removed to obtain a C6 fraction with tertiary olefins removed.

[0092] In some preferred embodiments, in step (3), the weight ratio of the reacted material to the lower alcohol is 1:0.002-0.004. By further limiting the amount of reactants in the etherification reaction, the purity of the separated 1-hexene can be further guaranteed, thereby further enhancing the industrial application value of the recovered 1-hexene. Specifically, the weight ratio of the reacted material to the lower alcohol can be 1:0.002, 1:0.0025, 1:0.028, 1:0.003, 1:0.0035, or 1:0.004.

[0095] In the method described in this invention, the C6 fraction from which tertiary olefins have been removed is subjected to a third distillation to remove the 1-hexene light component from the material. The 1-hexene light component refers to the remaining C6 components with a boiling point lower than that of 1-hexene, such as methylpentene and methylpentane.
[0096] In some embodiments, the third distillation is carried out in a third distillation column. Preferably, the third distillation column has 100-130 theoretical plates, a reflux ratio of 5-15, a top temperature of 55-60°C, and a bottom temperature of 60-80°C.

Specifically, the deacidification unit includes an alkaline washing tower 11, a water washing tower 12, and an oil-water separation device 13. The alkaline washing tower 11 mixes the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil with an alkaline solution, and uses the alkaline solution to neutralize the acidic substances in the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil. After the reaction is complete, the resulting oil phase is sent to the water washing tower 12 for washing until neutral. After washing, the oil phase is sent to the oil-water separation device 13 for oil-water separation. The resulting oil phase material is then sent to the first distillation tower 2 for first distillation.
[0105] Specifically, the first distillation column 2 is used to perform a first distillation on the oil phase material from the oil-water separation device 13, and C5 and C5 are collected from the top of the column. - The distillate, collected from the bottom of the column, is C6 and C6. + The fraction, then the C6 and C6 + The fraction is fed to the second distillation column 3 for a second distillation.
[0106] Specifically, the second distillation column 3 is used to distill C6 and C6 from the first distillation column 2. +The fraction undergoes a second distillation. The top of the second distillation column yields the C6 fraction, and the bottoms of the second distillation column yield C7 and C8 fractions. + The C6 fraction is then transported to the deoxygenation unit for reactive deoxygenation treatment.
[0107] Specifically, the deoxygenation unit comprises a hydrodeoxygenation reactor 4 and a chemical deoxygenation reactor 5 connected in sequence. Specifically, the hydrodeoxygenation reactor 4 is filled with the first deoxygenation catalyst described above, used to remove aldehyde oxides and ketone oxides from the C6 fraction. After undergoing the first deoxygenation reaction in the hydrodeoxygenation reactor 4, the C6 fraction is further fed into the chemical deoxygenation reactor 5 for a second deoxygenation reaction. The chemical deoxygenation reactor 5 is filled with the second deoxygenation catalyst described above, used to remove alcohol oxides from the C6 fraction. By sequentially subjecting the C6 fraction to the first and second deoxygenation reactions in the deoxygenation unit, the removal of oxygen-containing compounds from the C6 fraction can be ensured as completely as possible, thereby guaranteeing a higher purity of the separated 1-hexene. The material obtained after the reaction in the chemical deoxygenation reactor 5 is further fed into the etherification reactor 6 for an etherification reaction.
[0108] Specifically, the etherification reactor 6 is filled with the etherification catalyst. The material from the chemical deoxygenation reactor 5 reacts with the low-carbon alcohol in the etherification reactor 6 to obtain a C6 fraction with tertiary olefins removed. Then, the C6 fraction with tertiary olefins removed is sent to the third distillation column 6 for third distillation.
[0109] Specifically, the third distillation column 7 is used to perform a third distillation on the C6 fraction from which tertiary olefins have been removed, to remove the 1-hexene light component from the C6 fraction. The 1-hexene light component is collected from the top of the third distillation column 7, and then the bottom fraction of the third distillation column 7 is sent to the fourth distillation column 8 for a fourth distillation process to obtain crude 1-hexene.
[0110] Specifically, the fourth distillation column 8 is used to perform a fourth distillation on the bottom product from the third distillation column 7 to remove the 1-hexene heavy component from the C6 fraction after the removal of tertiary olefins.

Both the first adsorption deoxygenation unit 101 and the second adsorption deoxygenation unit 102 contain several adsorption deoxygenation towers connected in series. These towers are filled with adsorbent, which performs deep deoxygenation treatment on the oxygen-containing compounds in the material. After treatment by the first adsorption deoxygenation unit 101 and the second adsorption deoxygenation unit 102, a high-purity 1-hexene product can be obtained.
[0113] The inventors unexpectedly discovered that the saturated adsorption capacity of the adsorbent selected in the adsorption deoxygenation tower could reach 50 mg / g. However, it was prone to penetration during deep deoxygenation, causing the oxides in the final product to exceed the target prematurely, failing to achieve the expected effect. Therefore, to further improve the purity of the separated 1-hexene product, four adsorption deoxygenation towers were used, with two towers in each of the first adsorption deoxygenation unit 101 and the second adsorption deoxygenation unit 102. In this embodiment, the dried material was divided into two streams and transported to the first adsorption deoxygenation unit 101 and the second adsorption deoxygenation unit 102 for processing. The materials transported to the first adsorption deoxygenation unit 101 and the second adsorption deoxygenation unit 102 were processed sequentially in two adsorption deoxygenation towers connected in series before being combined and output to obtain polymer-grade 1-hexene.
