Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001] 〔Technical Field〕 The present application relates to a fluidized bed apparatus and a method for using the apparatus, and belongs to the technical field of the chemical industry. The present application particularly relates to an apparatus and a method for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by coupling naphtha and methanol.

[0002] 〔Background〕 Aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, and xylene (collectively referred to as BTX)) are important organic chemical raw materials. p-Xylene (PX) is the most concerned product among aromatic hydrocarbons. p-Xylene (PX) is mainly used in the production of polyesters such as terephthalic acid (PTA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT). In recent years, the production and consumption of p-xylene in China have been on the rise. In 2021, the total import volume of PX in China was approximately 13.65 million tons, and the foreign trade dependence was approximately 38%.

[0003] The catalytic reforming technology of naphtha is the main technical route for producing aromatic hydrocarbons. The composition of naphtha is very complex. Naphtha is not only the main raw material for catalytic reforming, but also the main raw material for ethylene production by cracking. The composition of naphtha plays an important role in the economic benefits of the device. Generally speaking, a high potential content of raw material aromatic hydrocarbons and a medium distillation range are advantageous for catalytic reforming. On the other hand, a high content of linear-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons and branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons and a low content of naphthenic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons are suitable for ethylene production by cracking. Usually, in order to make full use of naphtha resources and improve economic benefits, it is necessary to first separate the linear-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons and branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons in naphtha from naphthenic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. The former is used as the raw material for ethylene production, and the latter is used as the raw material for the catalytic reforming device.

[0004] The distillation range of naphtha fractions is wide. With common separation methods, it is difficult to efficiently separate linear-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons and branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons from naphthenic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. In addition, it is also difficult to convert linear-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons and branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons into aromatic hydrocarbons by catalytic reforming technology. Generally, the naphtha raw material used for catalytic reforming needs to be distilled to separate the topped oil with a boiling point below 60°C in order to increase the potential content of raw material aromatic hydrocarbons for catalytic reforming. However, the fraction with a boiling point exceeding 60°C still contains a lot of linear-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons and branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons that are difficult to be converted into aromatic hydrocarbons. Therefore, the highly selective conversion of linear-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons and branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons into aromatic hydrocarbons has always been a hot and difficult point in the development of technologies for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons from naphtha.

[0005] Due to the constraints of thermodynamic equilibrium, p-xylene in the xylene mixture produced by a naphtha catalytic reforming unit only accounts for ~24%, and it is necessary to further increase the yield of p-xylene through isomerization separation technology. Therefore, increasing the content of p-xylene in the xylene mixture is an important method for reducing the energy consumption for the production of p-xylene.

[0006] 〔Overview〕 The naphtha molecules contain only a small amount of methyl groups (methyl group / benzene ring = ~1.3 (molar ratio)). Due to the molecular structure of naphtha molecules, it is determined that a large amount of benzene will inevitably be by-produced in the catalytic reforming / aromatic compound complex unit.

[0007] The aromatization of methanol is a new process for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons. In methanol molecules, there are excessive hydrogen atoms compared with aromatic hydrocarbons. Therefore, in the preparation of aromatic hydrocarbons using methanol, a large amount of alkanes and a large amount of hydrogen will inevitably be by-produced. According to the molecular structure and reaction mechanism, methanol can bring about methyl groups for aromatic hydrocarbons. This increases the yields of toluene and xylene. Thus, a new technical route for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by coupling naphtha and methanol is brought about.

[0008] In one aspect of the present application, an apparatus capable of preparing aromatic hydrocarbons using naphtha and methanol as raw materials is provided. By this apparatus, the content of p-xylene in the mixed xylene increases, and the energy consumption for separation is reduced.

The naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor is used to introduce naphtha and methanol, contact the naphtha with the catalyst from the light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor, and generate a BTX-containing product gas stream after the reaction. The methanol is also used for a methylation reaction with benzene and toluene in the product gas stream to generate p-xylene.

[0012] When the catalyst enters the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor, the temperature of the catalyst decreases to a certain extent, and at the same time, the catalyst contacts the naphtha. As a result, a local high-temperature zone in the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor can disappear. Consequently, the yield of low-carbon alkanes can be effectively reduced, and the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons increases.

[0087] In this application, the potential content of aromatic hydrocarbons in the naphtha feedstock is 0 wt% to 80 wt%, and the per-pass conversion rate of the naphtha is 60 wt% to 80 wt%. By using the apparatus for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by coupling naphtha and methanol according to this application, and the method for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by coupling naphtha and methanol based on the apparatus, the unconverted naphtha, after being separated from the product gas, returns as a feedstock to the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor, and a part of the lower alkanes, after being separated from the product gas, returns as a feedstock to the riser reactor in the light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor, C 3 hydrocarbons, C 4 hydrocarbons, and C 5After being separated from the product gas, the hydrocarbon returns as a raw material to the bed reactor in the light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor. The composition of the finally obtained product is as follows: BTX 60 wt% - 73 wt%, lower olefins 9 wt% - 16 wt%, hydrogen 3 wt% - 6 wt%, lower alkanes 3 wt% - 8 wt%, combustible gas 4 wt% - 6 wt%, heavy aromatic hydrocarbons 4 wt% - 8 wt%, and coke 0.5 wt% - 1 wt%. The content of p-xylene in the mixed xylene in the product is 60 wt% - 75 wt%.

[0088] According to the present application, the following beneficial effects can be achieved.

[0089] 1) According to the present application, linear aliphatic hydrocarbons and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons can be efficiently converted into aromatic hydrocarbons with high selectivity. The raw materials have a wide range of adaptability, and aromatic hydrocarbons can be prepared from naphtha with a low potential content of aromatic hydrocarbons.

[0090] 2) According to the present application, the aromatization of lower alkanes and C 4 hydrocarbons and C 5 hydrocarbons is achieved by the light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor and the metal molecular sieve dual-functional catalyst. As a result, the yield (recovery rate) of aromatic hydrocarbons in the technology for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons using naphtha is significantly improved.

[0091] 3) According to the present application, an apparatus for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by coupling naphtha and methanol is provided with a naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor. The naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor includes a plurality of sub-dispersers. Naphtha enters the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction zone through a first sub-disperser, and methanol enters the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction zone through each of the second sub-disperser to the nth sub-disperser. The naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor is a fluidized bed reactor suitable for cascade reaction. Naphtha is converted into benzene and toluene at the lower part of the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction zone, and then flows upward to reach the central and upper parts of the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction zone. Benzene and toluene are subjected to a methylation reaction with methanol to further produce p-xylene. As a result, the yield of p-xylene increases. The high-temperature catalyst from the light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor directly enters the lower part of the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction zone. This is advantageous for supplying the heat required for the reaction of converting naphtha into aromatic hydrocarbons and improving the conversion rate of naphtha. Methanol directly enters the central and upper parts of the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction zone. Thereby, the residence time of p-xylene in the reaction zone is effectively shortened, the isomerization reaction of p-xylene is suppressed, the content of p-xylene in xylene increases (up to 75 wt% at most under optimal technical conditions), and at the same time, the energy consumption for the separation of p-xylene is significantly reduced. In summary, in the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor, the naphtha raw material flows from bottom to top, and in the process of converting naphtha into aromatic hydrocarbons, the methylation raw material (methanol) is added step by step to control the process of cascade reaction (naphtha → benzene and toluene → p-xylene). As a result, the yield of p-xylene increases.

[0092] 4) The aromatization reaction of naphtha is a strong endothermic reaction. To convert 1 kg of naphtha into aromatic hydrocarbons, 1.1 MJ to 1.6 MJ of heat needs to be absorbed. The methylation reaction of methanol and aromatic hydrocarbons is a strong exothermic reaction. When converting 1 kg of methanol into methyl groups on aromatic hydrocarbons, more than 2.0 MJ of heat can be released. Therefore, by preparing p-xylene from benzene, toluene, and methanol, heat for the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction can be supplied in situ. As a result, self-heating balance is achieved.

[0093] 5) According to the present application, in an apparatus for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by coupling naphtha and methanol, an independent light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor is provided. Lower alkanes are very stable and require a high reaction temperature. The temperature of the light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor is higher than that of the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor. Lower alkanes, as well as C 4 hydrocarbons and C 5 hydrocarbons are subjected to an aromatization reaction in an independent light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor. As a result, the reaction rate and the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons increase.
