Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of naphthalene hydrogenation technology, and more specifically to a method for naphthalene hydrogenation. Background Technology

[0002] Naphthalene is an important organic chemical raw material, widely used in synthetic fibers, synthetic resins, plasticizers, rubber antioxidants, dye intermediates, and medical and sanitary materials. In some fine chemical industries, it is used to produce chemical products such as phthalic anhydride, naphthol, naphthylamine, dispersants, water-reducing agents, dispersants, 2,6-dialkylnaphthalene, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and H-acid.

[0003] Naphthalene is classified into tar naphthalene and petroleum naphthalene based on its source, collectively known as industrial naphthalene. Tar naphthalene originates from coal tar and was discovered in 1819 and separated from pyrolyzed coal tar in 1821; it is a relatively pure solid and is commonly referred to as tar naphthalene. Petroleum naphthalene can also be obtained in petroleum refining processes using fractions from catalytic cracking and reforming as raw materials, followed by hydrorefining, catalytic dealkylation, and dehydrogenation; this is commonly referred to as petroleum naphthalene. Currently, tar naphthalene accounts for approximately 97% of the global market, while petroleum naphthalene accounts for approximately 3%.

[0004] Industrial naphthalene is a very important product in the primary processing of coal tar, accounting for about 10% of coal tar production. It has a large market demand and high value. Internationally, industrial naphthalene is mainly produced as tar naphthalene.

[0005] Impurities in industrial naphthalene mainly include tetrahydronaphthalene, thiazoindene, and xylenol, which have boiling points close to naphthalene. Using industrial naphthalene as raw material to manufacture higher-purity refined naphthalene through crystallization, acid washing, distillation, and sublimation methods presents environmental pollution and other problems.

[0006] CN103285886A uses NiMo or NiW metal sulfide catalysts in a fixed-bed reactor at a reaction pressure of 4-10 MPa, a reaction temperature of 160-320℃, and a liquid hourly space velocity of 1-10 h⁻¹. -1 Under certain conditions, naphthalene is hydrogenated in one step to synthesize decahydronaphthalene, with a conversion rate of over 99% and a selectivity of over 99%.

[0007] CN107670661B discloses a catalyst for the production of decahydronaphthalene by hydrodesulfurization of industrial naphthalene, its preparation method and application, which solves the technical problems of existing one-step hydrogenation catalysts not being able to completely achieve desulfurization and the high energy consumption and high investment of two-step processes.

[0008] CN104744203B discloses a method for hydrogenating industrial naphthalene to produce decahydronaphthalene. The method involves dissolving industrial naphthalene in a dissolving tower and then injecting it into a hydrogenation refining tower for reaction. This removes benzothiophene and quinoline from the industrial naphthalene and initially hydrogenates it to produce tetrahydronaphthalene. The hydrogenated product then enters an alkaline washing tower, which operates at room temperature. After alkaline washing, the product is mixed with hydrogen and enters a deep hydrogenation tower. The deep hydrogenated product then enters a distillation tower for atmospheric pressure distillation. The distilled product contains solvent that is recycled to redissolve industrial naphthalene, ethylbenzene, propylbenzene, and decahydronaphthalene as the final product, along with tetrahydronaphthalene. The tetrahydronaphthalene is then mixed with the alkaline washed product and subjected to deep hydrogenation again, with ethylbenzene, propylbenzene, and decahydronaphthalene remaining as the final product. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of single processed products and low added value in the existing technology, and to provide a method for hydrogenating naphthalene, which has the characteristics of diverse processed products and high added value.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages:

Combined with subsequent hydrocracking treatment, it can maximize the production of benzene (B), toluene (T), and xylene (X), thereby increasing their added value. Attached Figure Description

The pH of the solution was adjusted to 11 with acetic acid. Finally, MOR (SiO2 / Al2O3 molecular ratio 25) was added to make the molar ratio of the mixed solution: n(Na2O):n(Al2O3):n(CH3COOH):n(SiO2):n(TPA) + The ratio of n(H₂O) to n(H₂O) is 2.5:1:0.8:25:2.5:375. ZSM-5 / MOR composite molecular sieves were synthesized under crystallization conditions of 150℃ for 60 hours. After crystallization, the sieve was filtered, washed, and dried at 120℃ to obtain zeolite powder. Each gram of zeolite powder was subjected to ion exchange three times in 10 ml of 0.8 mol / L NH₄NO₃ solution at 80℃ for 1 hour each time, converting it to the ammonia form. The powder was then dried at 120℃ for 8 hours and calcined at 550℃ for 5 hours to obtain HZSM-5 / HMOR composite molecular sieves.

The hydrorefining product enters the high-precision separator, the hydrogen enters the refining compressor for circulation, the liquid phase enters the refining product oil-water separator, the oil phase is dehydrated and then enters the low-precision separator and stripping tower. After H2S is removed from the oil phase by the stripping tower, the ratio of the purified product circulation volume to the naphthalene-containing solution feed volume is 0.2. The purified product is heated by the hydrocracking heater and then enters the hydrocracking reactor. The cracking product enters the hydrocracking high-precision separator, the hydrogen enters the hydrocracking compressor for circulation, and the liquid phase enters the distillation column after passing through three low-precision separators to obtain ethylene cracking feedstock, BTX, and heavy aromatics.

Heat Solution A to 70°C. Add Solution B and sodium hydroxide solution (pH = 13.8) to Solution A in parallel streams for co-precipitation. Control the reaction pH at 6.2–6.3, the reaction temperature at 70°C, and the reaction time at 60 min. The catalyst underwent aging treatment at 83℃.
