The gas phase outlet at the top of the purge gas absorption tower is connected to the mixed raw material feed pipeline through a second branch pipeline. The liquid phase outlet of the reaction product separator is connected to the cold side inlet of the first heat exchanger through a second pipeline. The cold side outlet of the first heat exchanger is connected to the feed stripping zone. The lower common zone is connected to the hot side inlet of the first heat exchanger through a third pipeline. The hot side outlet of the first heat exchanger is connected to the liquid phase inlet at the top of the purge gas absorption tower.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this utility model include at least the following: The disproportionation and alkyl transfer system provided by this invention separates the reaction products in a reaction product separator. Part of the gaseous purge gas enters the mixed feed pipeline through the first pipeline as circulating hydrogen to continue participating in the reaction, while the other part enters the purge gas absorption tower through the first branch pipeline. The C8+ component entering the purge gas absorption tower from the lower common area of ​​the partition wall tower acts as a lean absorbent to absorb non-hydrogen components in the purge gas to purify the hydrogen. The purified hydrogen is then used as supplementary hydrogen and enters the mixed feed pipeline through the second branch pipeline. This reduces the amount of high-purity hydrogen used outside the system and greatly improves the utilization efficiency of the purge gas.

[0017] The disproportionation and alkyl transfer system provided by this invention separates the reaction products in a product separator. The liquid phase products then enter a partition wall tower for further separation. Ethane-rich gas and crude benzene are extracted from the feed stripping zone via ethane-rich gas and crude benzene extraction lines, respectively. Pure benzene is extracted from the reflux zone via a pure benzene extraction line, and toluene is extracted from the toluene side extraction zone via a toluene extraction line. Thus, a single partition wall tower replaces the disproportionation stripping tower, crude benzene stripping tower, benzene tower, and toluene tower in a traditional disproportionation unit, saving equipment investment and reducing energy consumption for heat exchange. The recovered ethane-rich gas can be used as a high-quality feedstock for ethylene cracking, while other products such as benzene are also recovered. Furthermore, the C8+ component separated from the liquid phase products after the reaction can flow from the lower common area to the top of the purge gas absorber, serving as a lean absorbent for purge gas purification, greatly improving the utilization efficiency of the reaction products.

[0018] The disproportionation and alkyl transfer system provided by this invention requires the liquid phase product to be heated to a certain temperature before entering the partition wall tower to meet separation conditions, while the C8+ component entering the purge gas absorber also needs to be cooled to be used as an absorbent. By adding a first heat exchanger, the liquid phase product before entering the partition wall tower and the C8+ component before entering the purge gas absorber can exchange heat, meeting their respective temperature requirements, thereby achieving energy recovery and utilization, resulting in energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0026] The inventors discovered that in the disproportionation and alkyl transfer reaction process, the emitted purge gas generally has two destinations: one is as low-value fuel gas, and the other is to recover hydrogen from it using a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) device. However, using purge gas as fuel gas represents a low-value utilization of high-value materials. While recovering hydrogen from it using a PSA device can recover high-value hydrogen to some extent, the PSA device has high energy consumption, high recovery costs, and low recovery rates. Furthermore, in the reaction product separation process, the currently common method involves separating the reaction products through four distillation columns: a disproportionation stripping column, a benzene column, a toluene column, and a crude benzene stripping column. This results in a large number of distillation columns, leading to high costs, large footprint, and complex and costly energy recovery and heat exchange processes.

[0027] To at least partially solve the aforementioned technical problems, the inventors attempted to design a disproportionation and alkyl transfer system. This system involves adding a purge gas absorption tower to purify a portion of the purge gas before using it as supplementary hydrogen in the mixed feed line. A partition wall tower replaces the traditional disproportionation stripping tower, crude benzene stripping tower, benzene tower, and toluene tower. By adding a first heat exchanger, heat exchange occurs between the liquid product entering the partition wall tower and the C8+ component entering the purge gas absorption tower, meeting their respective temperature requirements. This reduces the amount of high-purity hydrogen used outside the system, saving costs, improves the utilization efficiency of the purge gas and the overall energy recovery effect of the system, and significantly reduces production costs.

[0028] Based on this, the present invention provides a disproportionation and alkyl transfer system. Figure 1 Specific embodiments of the disproportionation and alkyl transfer system provided by this utility model.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a disproportionation and alkyl transfer system 100 comprising a partition wall tower 6, a first heat exchanger 7, a purge gas absorption tower 8, a clay tower 9, and a heater 2, a disproportionation and alkyl transfer reactor 3, an air cooler 4, and a reaction product separator 5 connected sequentially by pipelines.

[0030] The partition wall tower 6 includes a tower body 61 and a first vertical partition 62 and a second vertical partition 63 arranged vertically at intervals within the tower body 61. The upper end of the first vertical partition 62 is connected to the top of the inner wall of the tower body 61, so that a feed stripping zone 64 and a reflux zone 65 are formed on the left and right sides of the first vertical partition 62 within the tower body 61, respectively. An upper common area 66 is formed between the first vertical partition 62 and the second vertical partition 63. An aromatic extraction product pre-fractionation zone 67 and a toluene side-collection zone 68 are formed on the left and right sides of the second vertical partition 63, respectively. The lower end of the second vertical partition 63 is spaced apart from the bottom of the inner wall of the tower body 61, and a lower common area 69 is formed in the spaced area.

[0031] The inlet of the heater 2 is connected to the outlet of the mixed raw material feed pipeline 15. The gas phase outlet of the reaction product separator 5 is connected to the mixed raw material feed pipeline 15 through a first pipeline 16. The first pipeline 16 is connected to the gas phase inlet at the bottom of the purge gas absorption tower 8 through a first branch pipeline 17. The gas phase outlet at the top of the purge gas absorption tower 8 is connected to the mixed raw material feed pipeline 15 through a second branch pipeline 18. The liquid phase outlet of the reaction product separator 5 is connected to the cold side inlet of the first heat exchanger 7 through a second pipeline 19. The cold side outlet of the first heat exchanger 7 is connected to the feed stripping zone 64. The lower common zone 69 is connected to the hot side inlet of the first heat exchanger 7 through a third pipeline 20. The hot side outlet of the first heat exchanger 7 is connected to the liquid phase inlet at the top of the purge gas absorption tower 8.

[0032] The inlet of the clay tower 9 is connected to the outlet of the aromatics extraction product pipeline 21, and the outlet of the clay tower 9 is connected to the aromatics extraction product pre-fractionation zone 67. The feed stripping zone 64 is connected to an ethane-rich gas extraction pipeline 22 and a crude benzene extraction pipeline 23. The reflux zone 65 is connected to a pure benzene extraction pipeline 24, and the toluene side extraction zone 68 is connected to a toluene extraction pipeline 25.

[0033] The disproportionation and alkyl transfer system 100 provided by this utility model, after the reaction products are separated by the reaction product separator 5, part of the gas phase purge gas enters the mixed raw material feed line 15 through the first pipeline 16 as circulating hydrogen to continue participating in the reaction, and the other part enters the purge gas absorption tower 8 through the first branch pipeline 17. The C8+ component entering the purge gas absorption tower 8 from the lower common area 69 of the partition wall tower 6 will act as a lean absorbent to absorb the non-hydrogen components in the purge gas to achieve hydrogen purification. The purified hydrogen is used as supplementary hydrogen and enters the mixed raw material feed line 15 through the second branch pipeline 18, which reduces the amount of high-purity hydrogen used outside the system and greatly improves the utilization efficiency of hydrogen in the purge gas.

[0034] The disproportionation and alkyl transfer system 100 provided by this utility model, after the reaction products are separated by the reaction product separator 5, the liquid phase products enter the indirect wall tower 6 for further separation. Ethane-rich gas and crude benzene in the products are extracted from the feed stripping zone 64 through ethane-rich gas extraction line 22 and crude benzene extraction line 23, respectively. Pure benzene is extracted from the reflux zone 65 through the pure benzene extraction line 24, and toluene is extracted from the toluene side extraction zone 68 through the toluene extraction line 25. Thus, by replacing the disproportionation stripping tower, crude benzene stripping tower, benzene tower, and toluene tower in a traditional disproportionation unit with a single indirect wall tower 6, equipment investment is saved, and energy consumption required for heat exchange is reduced. The recovered ethane-rich gas can be used as a high-quality feedstock for ethylene cracking, while other products such as benzene are also recovered. Furthermore, the C8+ component separated from the liquid phase products after the reaction can flow from the lower common zone 69 into the top of the purge gas absorption tower 8 as a lean absorbent for purge gas purification, greatly improving the utilization efficiency of the reaction products.

[0035] The disproportionation and alkyl transfer system 100 provided by this invention addresses the issue that the liquid phase product needs to be heated to a certain temperature before entering the partition wall tower 6 to meet separation conditions, while the C8+ component entering the purge gas absorption tower 8 also needs to be cooled to be used as an absorbent. By adding a first heat exchanger 7, heat exchange can be performed between the liquid phase product before entering the partition wall tower 6 and the C8+ component before entering the purge gas absorption tower 8, satisfying their respective temperature requirements and thus achieving energy recovery and utilization, resulting in energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0036] It should be noted that the non-hydrogen components of the purge gas are mainly C2-C5 alkanes, and contain small amounts of benzene and other components. The C2-C5 alkanes are high-quality ethylene cracking feedstocks, and benzene is a high-value chemical raw material.

[0037] See Figure 1 The process of the disproportionation and alkyl transfer system 100 provided by this utility model is as follows: A mixture of C7 or C9 / C10 aromatics is fed into heater 2 via mixed feed line 15 to reach the required reaction temperature. It then enters disproportionation and alkyl transfer reactor 3 for reaction. The reaction product is cooled by air cooler 4 and then separated into gas and liquid phases in product separator 5. Part of the purge gas is returned to mixed feed line 15 via first line 16 as circulating hydrogen for further reaction, while another part of the purge gas enters purge gas absorption tower 8 via first branch line 17. The hydrogen purified by purge gas absorption tower 8 is returned to mixed feed line 15 via second branch line 18 as supplementary hydrogen for further reaction. The liquid phase product enters the feed stripping zone 64 through the cold side of the first heat exchanger 7. The aromatic extraction products (benzene and toluene) enter the aromatic extraction product pre-fractionation zone 67 through the clay tower 9. The clay tower 9 is used to remove trace amounts of unsaturated hydrocarbons such as olefins and carbonyl groups and impurities from the aromatic extraction products, i.e., benzene and toluene, to ensure the purity and quality of the subsequent products. Benzene and toluene, as light components, will flow upward as a gas stream and counter-currently flow with the liquid phase stream entering the feed stripping zone 64 through the second pipeline 19. A portion of the benzene and toluene gas stream enters the feed stripping zone 64. Lighter ethane-rich gas is extracted from the top of the feed stripping zone 64 through the ethane-rich gas extraction pipeline 22, and crude benzene is extracted from the side of the feed stripping zone 64 through the crude benzene extraction pipeline 23 (the feed stripping zone 64 is equivalent to a separate stripping tower, with ethane-rich gas enriched at the top, benzene enriched in the middle, and toluene enriched at the bottom). Toluene and xylene from the liquid stream in feed stripping zone 64 flow downwards into aromatics extraction product pre-fractionation zone 67. The heavier xylene then enters the lower common zone 69 (aromatics extraction product pre-fractionation zone 67 is equivalent to a separate stripping tower, with toluene enriched at the top and xylene enriched at the bottom). Another portion of the benzene and toluene gas stream passes through the upper common zone 66, where it flows counter-currently with the liquid stream from reflux zone 65. Benzene, as the lighter component, enters reflux zone 65 and is extracted through the pure benzene extraction line 24 on the side of reflux zone 65 (reflux zone 65 is equivalent to a separate stripping tower, with benzene enriched at the top and toluene enriched at the bottom). Toluene flows downwards into toluene-side extraction zone 68, where it is extracted through toluene extraction line 25 (toluene-side extraction zone 68 is equivalent to a separate stripping tower, with toluene enriched at the top and xylene enriched at the bottom). The C8+ components (including xylene, etc.) in the lower public area 69 enter the top of the purge gas absorption tower 8 through the third pipeline 20 and the hot side of the first heat exchanger 7, and act as a lean absorbent to absorb the non-hydrogen components in the purge gas.

[0038] It should be noted that the aromatic extraction product is extracted by an external aromatic extraction device, which can provide the system with raw materials that can produce disproportionation and alkyl transfer reactions, and generate high-value chemical raw materials through these reactions.

[0039] The following will describe, by way of example, further specific implementations or refinements of the disproportionation and alkyl transfer system 100, in order to further improve its efficiency, reliability or for other improvements.

[0040] As previously described, the C8+ component in the lower common area 69 enters the top of the purge gas absorption tower 8 via the third pipeline 20 and the hot side of the first heat exchanger 7, serving as a lean absorbent. After absorbing the non-hydrogen components in the purge gas, this lean absorbent flows to the bottom of the purge gas absorption tower 8, becoming a rich absorbent. To improve the utilization rate of this rich absorbent, in some embodiments, the liquid phase outlet at the bottom of the purge gas absorption tower 8 is connected to the second pipeline 19 via a third branch pipeline 26. Thus, the liquid C8+ component at the bottom of the purge gas absorption tower 8 re-enters the partition tower 6 for separation via the third branch pipeline 26 and the second pipeline 19.

[0041] It is understood that toluene is an important raw material for disproportionation and alkyl transfer reactions. To reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, in some embodiments, the outlet of the toluene outflow line 25 is connected to the mixed feedstock line 15. In this way, the toluene outflow line 25 from the partition wall tower 6 is fed into the mixed feedstock line 15 through the toluene outflow line 25 as a raw material for the reaction, thereby improving the utilization rate of the product.

[0042] Considering that the distillation separation within the partition wall column 6 is primarily achieved through countercurrent mass transfer of the gas and liquid phases, some embodiments further include a top condenser 10. The top of the reflux zone 65 is connected to the inlet of the top condenser 10 via a distillate collection line 27, and the outlet of the top condenser 10 is connected to the side of the reflux zone 65 via a distillate reflux line 28. Thus, the top condenser 10 can condense the gas concentrated at the top of the reflux zone 65 to provide a sufficient downward liquid stream. In some embodiments, a bottom reboiler 11 is also included. The bottom of the lower common zone 69 is connected to the inlet of the bottom reboiler 11 via a pipeline, and the outlet of the bottom reboiler 11 is connected to the side of the toluene side collection zone 68 via a pipeline. Thus, the bottom reboiler 11 can heat and evaporate the liquid concentrated in the lower common zone 69 to provide a sufficient upward gas stream.

[0043] In some embodiments, a partition wall tower liquid phase extraction line 29 is also included, the inlet of which is connected to the third line 20. Thus, if necessary, a portion of the C8+ component within the lower common area 69 can be extracted through the partition wall tower liquid phase extraction line 29.

[0044] To improve the energy recovery efficiency of the entire system, some embodiments further include a second heat exchanger 1. The inlet of the mixed raw material feed line 15 is connected to the cold-side inlet of the second heat exchanger 1, the cold-side outlet of the heat exchanger is connected to the inlet of the heater 2, the outlet of the disproportionation and alkyl transfer reactor 3 is connected to the hot-side inlet of the second heat exchanger 1, and the hot-side outlet of the second heat exchanger 1 is connected to the inlet of the air cooler 4. Thus, through the second heat exchanger 1, the mixed raw material entering the cold side of the second heat exchanger 1 and the reaction products entering the hot side of the second heat exchanger 1 can exchange heat, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the heater 2 and the air cooler 4 and lowering production costs.

[0045] In some embodiments, to continuously supply sufficient hydrogen to the disproportionation and alkyl transfer reactor 3, the first pipeline 16 is equipped with a circulating hydrogen compressor 12. Specifically, the outlet of the circulating hydrogen compressor 12 is located near the mixed feedstock pipeline 15. Similarly, to continuously extract ethane-rich gas from the system, the ethane-rich gas extraction pipeline 22 is equipped with an ethane-rich gas compressor 13. Specifically, the inlet of the ethane-rich gas compressor 13 is located near the partition tower 6.

[0046] Considering that the amount of hydrogen purified by the purge gas absorption tower 8 gradually decreases with increasing reaction time, in order to ensure the stable operation of the entire system for a long period of time, some embodiments also include a supplementary hydrogen inlet line 30. The outlet of the supplementary hydrogen inlet line 30 is connected to the first line 16, and the second branch line 18 is connected between the gas phase outlet at the top of the purge gas absorption tower 8 and the supplementary hydrogen inlet line 30. In this way, hydrogen can be supplied to the system from the outside through the supplementary hydrogen inlet line 30 to continuously complete the efficient and stable reaction. In order to continuously provide supplementary hydrogen to the system, in some embodiments, the supplementary hydrogen inlet line 30 is equipped with a supplementary hydrogen compressor 14. Specifically, the outlet of the supplementary hydrogen compressor 14 is located close to the mixed raw material feed line 15.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
