[0003] Existing olefin cracking processes face many challenges in achieving emission reduction and zero carbon targets. Although CO2 emissions are reduced to some extent by carbon capture technology, current processes mainly focus on the capture and absorption of CO2 and the carbon capture facility investment is huge due to large amount of flue gas and low CO2 concentration, and the actual utilization rate of captured CO2 is low, which is difficult to effectively convert into valuable products. At the same time, since the all-electric operation process is not realistic under the current conditions, the cracking process relying on fossil fuel heating is still the main mode, which results in limited emission reduction effect.

[0004] In addition, the products of the olefin cracking process usually need to go through a dehydrogenation step, but a large amount of waste hydrogen gas produced by dehydrogenation is not fully recovered and utilized, and is often discharged as waste gas, further increasing resource waste. The existing process fails to effectively combine captured CO2 with cracking by-product waste hydrogen to produce high value-added chemicals through hydrogenation reaction, and fails to form a comprehensive zero carbon emission olefin cracking process system.

[0047] Example

[0048] The concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present application will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments below, so as to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the purposes, features and effects of the present application. Those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments herein are only for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] Example 1 relates to the laboratory scale capture and utilization of by-product hydrogen and CO2 generated in a propane dehydrogenation process. Referring to Figure 2 , an alkaline electrolyzer powered by renewable energy is used as an oxygen supply device, which obtains oxygen with a purity of about 99% through a water electrolysis reaction, and supplies the oxygen to a heat exchanger at a flow rate of about 9 Nm 3 / h.

[0051] As a supplement to the above-mentioned electrolyzer oxygen supply, an air separator based on vacuum swing adsorption technology is used to separate oxygen from nitrogen in air. The generated oxygen with a purity of about 93% is supplied to the heat exchanger at a flow rate of about 6 Nm 3 / h. Oxygen from both sources of electrolyzer and air separator is collected in the heat exchanger and further supplied to the combustion heating device at a flow rate of about 15 Nm 3 / h.

[0052] The core part of the combustion heating device used in the embodiments of the present application includes a propane dehydrogenation heating furnace and a UOP Kettle propane dehydrogenation oxygen-rich burner. The heating furnace is used to heat the raw gas of the propane dehydrogenation process to the required reaction temperature, and the furnace temperature is set to 800°C and the pressure is set to -100 PaG. The fuel gas used in the embodiments of the present application is selected as natural gas, which enters the burner through the fuel inlet arranged on the burner at a flow rate of 6 Nm 3 / h, and the furnace chamber temperature is controlled by adjusting the flow rate of natural gas. The above-mentioned oxygen from the heat exchanger is mixed with the fuel gas and about 20% of the circulating flue gas and then undergoes oxygen-rich combustion in the burner, and the oxygen content in the furnace chamber of the heating furnace is controlled at about 3% by adjusting the flow rate of the combustion-supporting oxygen. The amount of flue gas generated by combustion is about 25 Nm 3 / h.

[0053] Propane as a raw material enters the heating furnace at a flow rate of 112.5 kg / h, and after being heated to a reaction temperature of 600°C to 650°C, it enters the cracking reactor which includes 4 moving bed reactors in series. The inlet pressure of the cracking reactor is set to 0.23 MPaG, and the outlet pressure of the reactor is set to 3.5 kPaG. Under the above conditions, the raw gas undergoes a cracking reaction in the presence of a Pt / Al2O3 catalyst to produce propylene and hydrogen, and then propylene is obtained after cooling, separation and purification. The yield of propylene is about 88%.

[0054] After the above-mentioned cracking reaction, the tail gas from the cracking reactor containing about 92.5% by volume of hydrogen is introduced into the UOP Polybed TMPressure Swing Adsorption. The device mainly consists of an adsorption column filled with UOP H102 adsorbent and related valve set and controller. At room temperature, the tail gas is first pressurized to 2.5 MPaG, then passed through the pressure swing adsorption device to produce hydrogen gas with purity >99.9% and hydrogen recovery of about 91%.

[0055] The high temperature flue gas of the combustion products from the oxygen enriched combustion is further flowed from the heater to the heat exchanger to remove water vapor and cool the combustion products to room temperature and obtain a mixed gas containing >95 vol% of CO2 and balance of impurities based on the total volume of the cooled gas. The flow of oxygen and CO2 in the mixed gas flowed through the heat exchanger is adjusted so that the mixed gas contains only about 5 vol% to 20 vol% of oxygen based on the total volume of the mixed gas and the mixed gas is sent back to the combustor to reduce the oxygen concentration in the mixed gas in the combustor and the heater to suppress the combustion temperature from being too high and to minimize the formation of nitrogen oxides (a small amount of N2 is inevitably present in the heater due to air leakage). The remaining portion of CO2 is pressurized to 3.5 MPaG and introduced to a CO2 purification device to remove impurities such as SO2 and the like to increase the purity of CO2 to >99%.

[0056] To meet the hydrogen demand for the CO2 hydrogenation reaction, additional hydrogen is provided by the above-mentioned alkaline electrolyzer through water electrolysis reaction. The hydrogen produced is first pressurized to 2.4 MPaG together with the hydrogen from the pressure swing adsorption device and then passed through another hydrogen purification device to further remove impurities. The >99.9% pure hydrogen obtained is introduced into the CO2 hydrogenation reactor at a flow rate of 3.9 kg / h and mixed with the CO2 from the above-mentioned CO2 purification device in the CO2 hydrogenation reactor. The hydrogenation reactor is filled with Cu-Zn based catalyst and is set at a reaction temperature of 267°C and a pressure of 5.5 MPa, and a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 10000 ml.gcat -1 ·h -1 so that the CO2 and hydrogen mainly undergo hydrogenation reaction on the surface of the catalyst to form methanol.

[0057] After the flashing and rectification steps, a refined methanol product is obtained. In the CO2 hydrogenation reaction, the hydrogen conversion is about 91.5%, the selectivity is about 91.2%, and the methanol yield is about 83.1%.

[0058] After the completion of the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol process, the methanol produced is introduced into a downstream process system. The downstream process system involves a methanol to olefin (MTO) production process system and a methanol to jet fuel (MTJ) production process system, which are existing mature processes.

[0059] Comparative Example 1

[0060] Comparative Example 1 involves a propane dehydrogenation process using conventional air combustion technology. Reference is made to Figure 1 Air (containing about 21% oxygen by volume based on the total volume of air) was introduced into the combustion heating device at a flow rate of about 72 Nm 3 / h. The combustion heating device used was similar to that used in Example 1, and the core part of the combustion heating device used included a propane dehydrogenation heating furnace and a UOP Kellogg CUBL-LFM propane dehydrogenation burner. The furnace was used to heat the feed gas of the propane dehydrogenation process to the required reaction temperature, and the furnace temperature was set to 800°C and the pressure was set to -100 PaG. The fuel gas selected was natural gas, and the flow rate was 6 Nm 3 / h. The oxygen content of the heating furnace hearth was controlled to about 3% by adjusting the flow rate of the combustion air.

[0061] Propane was used as the raw material and passed through the heating furnace at a flow rate of 112.5 kg / h, and after being heated to a reaction temperature of 600°C to 650°C, entered the 4 moving bed reactors in series. The reactor inlet pressure was set to 0.23 MPaG, and the reactor outlet pressure was set to 3.5 kPaG. Under the above conditions, the feed gas underwent a cracking reaction in the presence of a Pt / Al2O3 catalyst to produce propylene and hydrogen, and then after cooling, separation and purification, propylene was obtained. The propylene yield was about 88%.

[0062] The flow rate of the high-temperature flue gas generated after air combustion was 78 Nm 3 / h. Relative to the total volume of the air combustion product, the air combustion product contained about 10% CO2 by volume, about 18% water by volume, about 70% N2 by volume and other small amounts of impurity gases, including <50 ppm of nitrogen oxides.

[0063] Compared with the comparative example using conventional air combustion technology, according to the example of the present application, by using oxygen-enriched combustion technology, the CO2 concentration in the flue gas was significantly increased by about 7 times, and the amount of flue gas after combustion was reduced to about 32% of the comparative example, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty and energy consumption of carbon capture. At the same time, the combustion efficiency according to the example of the present application was not reduced, and the propylene yield of the propane dehydrogenation reaction remained stable and was not affected by the oxygen supply. In addition, according to the example of the present application, the byproduct hydrogen in the olefin cracking process was recovered by pressure swing adsorption technology, with a recovery rate of about 91%, greatly reducing the demand for external hydrogen, further improving resource utilization and reducing environmental impact.
