AI Technical Summary
When isopentane is used directly as a gasoline blending component, its high vapor pressure and low density result in poor performance during gasoline blending.
Using isopentane as raw material, a combination process of dehydrogenation reactor and etherification reactor is adopted. First, dehydrogenation reaction is carried out in the dehydrogenation reactor, then light components are removed in the stabilization tower, and then mixed with alcohols and fed into the etherification reactor for etherification reaction to produce a mixture of isopentane + isopentenene + ethers + a small amount of alcohols, which can be used as a higher quality gasoline blending component.
The resulting mixture has a lower vapor pressure and higher density, which improves the octane number, making it suitable as a gasoline blending component and simplifying subsequent processing.

[0002] Chemical type refinery, especially large-scale production of paraxylene (PX) project, usually processes wax oil and diesel oil fraction through hydrocracking process to produce heavy naphtha with high conversion rate as raw material for producing aromatic hydrocarbon; this process produces a large amount of light naphtha, plus pentane oil and reforming pre-hydrogenation overhead oil produced by reforming unit, the amount of light naphtha in the entire project will be very large, and subsequent processing and treatment will become a problem. These light naphthas are mainly C5 fraction, which includes isopentane and n-pentane, and isopentane column is usually provided to separate isopentane and n-pentane. N-pentane is usually used as ethylene raw material; isopentane has low density, high vapor pressure and high octane number, and is often used to blend gasoline, and is not suitable as ethylene material.
[0003] At present, refinery isopentane is usually directly used as gasoline blending component, and isopentane material is not further processed before being used as gasoline blending component.
[0004] CN106365947A provides a process method for producing diene and high-octane gasoline component by combining catalytic dehydrogenation, oxidative dehydrogenation and etherification with refinery overhead oil as raw material. The utility model is different from the process provided by the patent in raw material, and the utility model does not produce diene, and the etherification process does not provide alcohol recovery facility.
[0005] CN110437873A provides a process combination for producing etherification gasoline, aromatization oil and propylene by combining catalytic dehydrogenation, etherification and aromatization with reforming overhead oil as raw material, while producing hydrogen as by-product.
