Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydrocarbon oil hydroconversion, specifically relating to a hydroconversion method for producing high-quality ethylene feedstock from light naphtha. Background Technology

[0002] Ethylene, as an important chemical raw material, is experiencing a gradual increase in demand, leading to a continuous rise in the demand for feedstocks used in ethylene production. The use of light hydrocarbons as ethylene feedstocks is receiving increasing attention. Among the various ethylene feedstocks, n-alkanes are the optimal choice, as a low-cost conversion process to transform isoalkanes into n-alkanes can significantly improve the economic efficiency of ethylene plants.

[0003] CN115612524A discloses a method for increasing the concentration of n-chain alkanes in a light naphtha feed stream. The method includes separating the naphtha feed stream into a stream rich in n-chain alkanes and a stream rich in non-n-chain alkanes. An isomerization feed stream is obtained from the non-n-chain alkanes stream and isomerized on an isomerization catalyst to convert the non-n-chain alkanes into n-chain alkanes and generate an isomerized effluent. Optionally, the isomerized effluent can be separated into a propane stream and a C4 stream in a single column. + Hydrocarbon feedstock. C4 + The hydrocarbon feed stream can be recycled to the step of separating the naphtha feed stream.

[0004] CN116023214A discloses a method and system for producing n-alkanes. The method involves contacting isobutane feedstock with an isobutane conversion catalyst in an isobutane conversion unit to carry out an isobutane conversion reaction. The isobutane conversion catalyst has high catalytic activity, is chlorine-free, safe and non-toxic, and reduces corrosion and wear on equipment. The resulting reaction product containing n-alkanes is introduced into a membrane separation unit for membrane separation treatment. The membrane separation element, including a molecular sieve membrane, enables efficient separation of n-alkanes and isoalkanes. The separation efficiency is high and the method is simple and easy to implement.

[0005] The above methods can all convert small molecule isoalkanes into n-alkanes, but the energy required for the conversion of hydrocarbons with different molecular structures is different, and it is difficult to effectively guarantee the yield of the target product by using a single conversion process. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a processing method for light naphtha. This method uses light naphtha as raw material and can effectively convert isoparaffins in light naphtha into n-paraffins, thereby improving the quality of ethylene feedstock.

[0007] This invention provides a method for processing light naphtha, the method comprising:

[0008] (1) Light naphtha, optionally additional olefins, and hydrogen are mixed and passed through a hydroconversion reaction zone, and the olefin content in the total feed of light naphtha and optionally additional olefins is controlled to be 1% to 8% of the total feed weight, preferably 3% to 6%, wherein the olefin content refers to the total content of butene, pentene and hexene.

[0009] (2) The effluent from the hydrogenation conversion reaction zone in step (1) enters the separation system to separate hydrogen and hydrogenation conversion products.

[0010] According to the present invention, the optionally added olefin refers to the olefin content in the reaction system, which is selected based on the required olefin content in the total feed, and may or may not require the addition of olefins. The additional olefins preferably include at least one of butene, pentene, and hexene. The present invention does not impose any particular limitation on the respective proportions of butene, pentene, and hexene in the additional olefins.

[0011] According to the present invention, when the olefin content in light naphtha does not meet the requirement for the total olefin content in the feed, it is necessary to introduce additional olefins from an external source. Further, the additional olefins preferably include at least one of butene, pentene, and hexene.

[0012] According to the present invention, a fixed-bed reactor is used for the hydrogenation conversion reaction.

[0013] According to the present invention, the light naphtha is derived from one or more fractions obtained by processes such as hydrocracking, catalytic cracking or coking.

[0014] According to the present invention, the initial boiling point of the light naphtha is 10°C to 30°C, preferably 15°C to 25°C; and the final boiling point is 50°C to 100°C, preferably 55°C to 70°C.

[0015] According to the present invention, the content of C5-C6 isoalkanes in the hydrocracked light naphtha is 60wt% to 90wt%, preferably 70wt% to 80wt%; C 7+ The hydrocarbon content is 0-10 wt%, preferably 0.5 wt%-5 wt%; the C5-C6 n-alkanes content is 10 wt%-30 wt%, preferably 15 wt%-25 wt%; the C4 hydrocarbon content is 0-10 wt%, preferably 2 wt%-5 wt%; the cyclic hydrocarbon content is 0-10 wt%, preferably 2 wt%-5 wt%; and the total weight of the hydrocracked light naphtha is 100 wt%. When the light naphtha is hydrocracked light naphtha, olefins need to be introduced from the outside, so that the olefin content in the total feed of light naphtha and the added olefins is 1%-8% of the total feed weight, preferably 3%-6%, where the olefin content refers to the total content of butene, pentene, and hexene.

[0016] According to the present invention, the hydroconversion catalyst comprises a molecular sieve, an active metal component, and a binder. The molecular sieve is a shape-selective catalytic sieve, preferably mordenite, wherein the mordenite has a SiO2 / Al2O3 molar ratio of 10–50 and a specific surface area of ​​300–600 m². 2 / g, with a pore volume of 0.15–0.35 mL / g. Further, in the hydroconversion catalyst, based on the weight of the catalyst, the content of the mordenite molecular sieve is 30 wt%–80 wt%, preferably 40 wt%–70 wt%.

[0017] According to the present invention, the binder is preferably alumina. Further, in the hydroconversion catalyst, the binder content, calculated as oxide, is 5 wt% to 65 wt%, preferably 10 wt% to 35 wt%, based on the weight of the catalyst.

[0018] According to the present invention, the active metal component is selected from one or more of Group VIB metals and Group VIII non-noble metals of the periodic table. The Group VIB metals are preferably selected from one or more of molybdenum and tungsten, and the Group VIII non-noble metals are preferably selected from one or more of cobalt and nickel. Further, in the hydroconversion catalyst, based on the weight of the catalyst, the content of the Group VIB metals (calculated as oxides) is 5 wt% to 30 wt%, preferably 10 wt% to 20 wt%; and the content of the Group VIII non-noble metals (calculated as oxides) is 0.5 wt% to 15 wt%, preferably 3 wt% to 10 wt%.

[0019] According to the present invention, the specific surface area of ​​the hydroconversion catalyst is 200-400 m². 2 / g, with a pore volume of 0.15~0.35mL / g.

[0020] According to the present invention, the hydroconversion reaction zone is filled with a hydroconversion catalyst. Preferably, the hydroconversion reaction zone is filled with at least two hydroconversion catalyst beds, and more preferably, the hydroconversion reaction zone is filled with 2 to 3 hydroconversion catalyst beds. Further, the active metal content of the hydroconversion catalyst decreases sequentially along the flow direction, wherein the active metal content of the hydroconversion catalyst in adjacent catalyst beds differs by 1 to 25 percentage points (based on oxides), preferably by 5 to 15 percentage points. Preferably, in the hydroconversion catalysts in adjacent catalyst beds, the content of Group VIB metals differs by 1 to 23 percentage points (preferably by 3 to 15 percentage points) and the content of Group VIII non-precious metals differs by 0 to 4 percentage points (based on oxides). Further, along the flow direction, the ratio of the upstream catalyst loading volume to the downstream catalyst loading volume in adjacent catalyst beds is 1:3 to 3:1, preferably 1:2 to 2:1.

[0021] According to the present invention, the preparation method of the hydroconversion catalyst can be carried out according to conventional methods in the art. The preparation method includes the preparation of a support and the loading of an active metal component, wherein the preparation process of the support is as follows: a shape-selective cracking molecular sieve and a binder are mechanically mixed, shaped, and then dried and calcined to form a catalyst support. The drying and calcination of the support can be carried out under conventional conditions. The drying conditions are: drying at 100℃~150℃ for 1~12 hours. The calcination conditions are: calcination at 450℃~550℃ for 2.5~6.0 hours.

[0022] According to the present invention, in the preparation method of the hydroconversion catalyst, the method of loading the active metal component is a conventional method, such as kneading, impregnation, etc., with impregnation being preferred. The impregnation method can be a saturated impregnation method, an excess impregnation method, or a complex impregnation method, that is, impregnating the catalyst support with a solution containing the desired active metal component, followed by drying and calcination to obtain the hydroconversion catalyst. The drying conditions are: drying at 100℃~150℃ for 1~12 hours. The calcination conditions are: calcination at 450℃~550℃ for 2.5~6.0 hours.

[0023] According to the present invention, the hydroconversion reaction conditions are as follows: reaction pressure is 0.5 MPa to 10.0 MPa, preferably 2.0 MPa to 5.0 MPa; reaction temperature is 250°C to 500°C, preferably 350°C to 450°C; and liquid hourly space velocity is 0.1 h⁻¹. -1 ~15.0h -1 0.5h is preferred -1 ~5.0h -1 The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 10:1 to 2500:1, preferably 100:1 to 2000:1, and even more preferably 100:1 to 1000:1.

[0024] According to the present invention, the effluent from the hydrogenation conversion reaction zone in step (2) enters the separation system, and the separated hydrogen is a hydrogen-rich gas, which is used as recycled hydrogen.

[0025] According to the present invention, the hydroconversion products are directly fed into a steam cracking unit to produce ethylene, yielding the main target products ethylene, propylene, and butadiene. The yields of these trienes are the percentages of the mass of ethylene, propylene, and butadiene produced relative to the amount of hydroconversion products fed into the unit. The operating conditions for the steam cracking to produce ethylene are: reaction temperature 860–890°C, reaction pressure 0.1–0.3 MPa, and water-to-oil mass ratio 0.2–0.6.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] (1) In the hydroconversion process, the first step is dehydrogenation. The smaller the molecular weight of the isoalkanes, the more difficult it is for them to undergo dehydrogenation. Therefore, the hydrogenation performance of the hydroconversion catalyst directly affects the conversion effect of isoalkanes; that is, the stronger the hydrogenation performance of the catalyst, the easier it is for dehydrogenation to occur, generating carbocations, thus enabling the subsequent hydroconversion process. The inventors have found that controlling the olefin content in the total feed to 1%–8% can promote the dehydrogenation reaction of isoalkanes, thereby increasing the reaction rate. Furthermore, the reactivity of the hydroconversion catalyst is mainly affected by its hydrogenation performance, while the reaction process of isoalkanes is mainly affected by the acidic centers, i.e., molecular sieves. Further research by the inventors has found that mordenite with a high content of moderately strong acids tends to undergo n-alkanization during the hydroconversion process. Preferably, the method of the present invention, by loading a hydroconversion catalyst bed with different active metal contents, and with the active metal content gradually decreasing along the flow direction, can significantly increase the yield of n-alkanes in the product by matching the dehydrogenation performance of the catalyst.

[0028] (2) The hydroconversion process of the present invention is simple. By controlling the olefin content in the total feed, the dehydrogenation reaction of isoparaffins is promoted, thereby increasing the reaction rate. At the same time, the mordenite catalyst with a high content of strong acid is loaded in the hydroconversion reaction zone. The synergistic effect of the two greatly increases the content of n-paraffins in the hydrogenation products, thereby increasing the ethylene yield and total yield of trienes in the ethylene unit. It has broad application value. Attached Figure Description
