Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydrocarbon oil hydroconversion, specifically relating to a method for producing chemical feedstocks using hydrocracking light naphtha as raw material. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrocracking technology is characterized by strong adaptability to feedstocks, high flexibility in production operations and product solutions, and high product quality. It can directly convert various heavy and low-quality feedstocks into high-quality jet fuel, diesel, lubricating oil base materials, and chemical naphtha and tail oil steam cracking feedstocks for ethylene production, which are in high demand in the market. It has become one of the most important hydrocarbon oil deep processing technologies in modern oil refining and petrochemical industries.
[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.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0035] (1) Hydrocracked light naphtha mainly contains C5 and C6 isoalkanes. The inventors have found that as the molecular weight decreases, the difficulty of hydrogenation conversion of hydrocarbon molecules gradually increases. The inventors have also found that ZSM-5 and ZSM-35 molecular sieves with higher strong acid content are more prone to cracking reactions. For hydrocracked light naphtha containing C5 and C6 isoalkanes, ZSM-5 molecular sieves are first used for conversion. During the reaction, a certain amount of isobutane is generated. For these smaller isoalkanes, ZSM-35 molecular sieves with even smaller pore structures are then used for conversion, thereby increasing the reaction rate of the byproduct isobutane and improving the yield of n-alkanes. Further research by the inventors revealed that by first loading the first hydrogenation conversion reaction zone with hydrogenation conversion catalysts containing ZSM-5 molecular sieves of varying metal content, with the metal content gradually decreasing along the flow direction, the cracking reaction effect of isoparaffins can be significantly improved, increasing the yield of small molecule n-paraffins. Then, by loading the second hydrogenation conversion reaction zone with a hydrogenation conversion catalyst containing ZSM-35 molecular sieves, isobutane can be further converted, further increasing the yield of small molecule alkanes in the product.
[0036] (2) The hydrogenation conversion process of the present invention is simple, with low equipment investment and operating costs. The content of n-alkane in the hydrogenation conversion product can reach more than 90%, which can be directly used as a raw material for steam cracking to produce olefins, thereby improving the ethylene yield and total yield of trienes in the ethylene plant.
