Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present application relates to a circulating fluidized bed reactor and a method for using the same, which belongs to the chemical industry technical field, and in particular to a circulating fluidized bed reactor and a method for using the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Aromatic compounds (benzene, toluene, and dimethylbenzene, collectively known as BTX) are important organic chemical raw materials, and among them, dimethylbenzene (PX) is the most notable aromatic compound. It is primarily used in the production of polyesters such as terephthalic acid (PTA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polypropylene terephthalate (PTT). In recent years, China's production and consumption of dimethylbenzene have been steadily increasing. In 2021, China's total PX imports were approximately 13.65 million tons, with an external dependency rate of approximately 38%.
[0003] Naphtha catalytic reforming is the primary route for producing aromatic compounds. Naphtha has a highly complex composition. It is not only the primary feedstock for catalytic reforming but also the primary feedstock for thermal cracking to produce ethylene. Its composition plays a crucial role in the economic efficiency of the plant. Generally, a high aromatic potential content and a suitable distillation range are favorable for catalytic reforming. Meanwhile, naphtha with a high content of linear and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons and a low content of cycloalkanes and aromatic compounds is suitable for ethylene production by thermal cracking. To effectively utilize naphtha resources and improve economic efficiency, it is usually necessary to first separate the linear and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons from the cycloalkanes and aromatic compounds in naphtha. The former is used as a feedstock for ethylene production, and the latter is used as a feedstock for the catalytic reforming plant.
[0004] Because naphtha fractions have a relatively broad distillation range, it is difficult to efficiently separate linear and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons from cycloalkanes and aromatic compounds using conventional separation methods. Furthermore, catalytic reforming technology also faces challenges in converting linear and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons to aromatic compounds. The naphtha feedstock used in catalytic reforming typically requires distillation to remove light fractions with boiling points below 60°C to increase the aromatic potential of the catalytic reforming feedstock. However, fractions with boiling points above 60°C still contain large amounts of linear and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons that are difficult to convert to aromatic compounds. Therefore, highly selective conversion of linear and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons to aromatic compounds remains a key focus and challenge in the development of technologies for producing aromatic compounds from naphtha.
[0005] Due to thermodynamic equilibrium limitations, the paraxylene content of the xylene mixture produced in naphtha catalytic reforming units is only about 24%. It is necessary to further increase the paraxylene production volume through the isomerization-separation process. Therefore, increasing the paraxylene content in the xylene mixture is an important means of reducing the energy consumption for paraxylene production. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] Naphtha molecules contain only a small amount of methyl groups (methyl groups / benzene rings = ~1.3 (molar ratio)), and due to its molecular structure, catalytic reforming / aromatics combined units inevitably produce large amounts of benzene as a by-product.
[0007] Methanol aromatization is an emerging process for producing aromatic compounds. However, due to the excess hydrogen atoms in the methanol molecule relative to the aromatic compounds, the process of producing aromatic compounds from methanol inevitably produces large amounts of paraffins and hydrogen as by-products. Based on the molecular structure and reaction mechanism, it is clear that methanol can provide methyl groups to aromatic compounds, thereby increasing the production of toluene and xylene. This provides a new technological approach to producing aromatic compounds by coupling naphtha and methanol. [Means for solving the problem]

[0059] 1) In the present invention, linear and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons can be converted to aromatic hydrocarbons with high selectivity, so that the range of applicable raw materials is wide, and aromatic hydrocarbons can be produced using naphtha with a low aromatic potential content as the raw material. 2) In this application, the aromatization of low-carbon alkanes was realized by using a lift tube reactor and a metal zeolite bifunctional catalyst, and the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons in naphtha aromatics technology was significantly improved. 3) The circulating fluidized bed reaction regeneration apparatus of the present application is equipped with a fluidized bed reactor, which is equipped with multiple sub-distributors and a gas-solid separation unit II. Naphtha enters the reaction zone through the first sub-distributor, and methanol enters the reaction zone from the second sub-distributor through the nth sub-distributor. The gas-solid separation unit II directly delivers hot catalyst from the lift tube reactor above the first sub-distributor. The fluidized bed reactor is suitable for staged reaction control. Naphtha is first converted to benzene, toluene, etc. in the lower part of the reaction zone, then flows upward. In the middle and upper parts of the reaction zone, benzene and toluene undergo methylation with methanol to further produce paraxylene, thereby increasing paraxylene production. The hot catalyst from the lift tube reactor directly enters the lower part of the reaction zone, providing the reaction heat necessary for the conversion of naphtha to aromatic hydrocarbons and improving the naphtha conversion rate. By directly injecting methanol into the middle and top of the reaction zone, the residence time of paraxylene in the reaction zone is effectively shortened, the paraxylene isomerization reaction is inhibited, the paraxylene content in xylene (which reaches 75 wt% under optimal industrial conditions) is improved, and the energy consumption for paraxylene separation is significantly reduced. In short, in the above-mentioned fluidized bed reactor, naphtha feedstock flows from bottom to top, and during the conversion process to aromatic hydrocarbons, the methylation feedstock (methanol) is introduced in stages to control the progress of the staged reactions (naphtha → benzene, toluene → paraxylene), thereby increasing the production amount of paraxylene. 4) In this application, the aromatization reaction of naphtha is a strongly endothermic reaction, absorbing 1.1 to 1.6 MJ of heat when 1 kg of naphtha is converted to aromatic hydrocarbons, while the methylation reaction of methanol with aromatic hydrocarbons is a strongly exothermic reaction, releasing more than 2.0 MJ of heat when 1 kg of methanol adds a methyl group to aromatic hydrocarbons. Therefore, by producing paraxylene using benzene, toluene, and methanol, the heat required for the aromatization reaction by coupling naphtha with methanol can be supplied on-site, achieving autothermal equilibrium. 5) The circulating fluidized bed reaction regeneration apparatus of the present application is equipped with an independent lift tube reactor. Low-carbon alkanes are very stable and require high reaction temperatures. Therefore, in the circulating fluidized bed reaction regeneration apparatus of the present application, the high-temperature regeneration catalyst first enters the lift tube reactor and comes into contact with the low-carbon alkanes. The catalyst then causes the low-carbon alkanes to aromatize, improving the reaction rate and the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons. The circulating fluidized bed reaction regeneration apparatus of the present application connects a high-temperature lift tube reactor and a relatively low-temperature fluidized bed reactor in series, thereby achieving the beneficial effects of reducing the yield of low-carbon alkanes and improving the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons.

[0083] The present application further provides an application method based on the above-mentioned apparatus, in particular a method for producing aromatic hydrocarbons by coupling naphtha with methanol, which includes producing aromatic hydrocarbons using the above-mentioned circulating fluidized bed reactor and metal zeolite bifunctional catalyst.
[0084] The metal zeolite bifunctional catalysts described in Examples 1 to 5 all use a metal-modified HZSM-5 zeolite molecular sieve. The metal used for the metal modification is at least one selected from La, Zn, Ga, Fe, Mo, and Cr, and the metal modification method includes immersing the HZSM-5 zeolite molecular sieve in a metal salt solution, drying, and calcining the resulting product.
[0085] In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the steps of: a) Naphtha enters the reaction zone of fluidized-bed reactor 1 through first sub-distributor 1-2-1 of reactor distributor 1-2 and contacts with catalyst from lift tube reactor 3 to produce a product gas stream containing BTX, low-carbon olefins, hydrogen, low-carbon alkanes, combustible gases, heavy aromatic hydrocarbons, and unconverted naphtha. The catalyst from lift tube reactor 3 enters gas-solid separation device II1-9 for gas-solid separation, and the catalyst from which the gas has been removed enters between first sub-distributor 1-2-1 and second sub-distributor 1-2-2. Methanol enters the reaction zone of fluidized-bed reactor 1 through second sub-distributor 1-2-2 to third sub-distributor 1-2-3 of reactor distributor 1-2, respectively, and undergoes a methylation reaction with benzene and toluene in the product gas stream to produce paraxylene. The catalyst from lift tube reactor 3 is condensed in fluidized-bed reactor 1 and converted into spent catalyst. The product gas flow enters the gas-solid separator I1-3 to remove the entrained spent catalyst, then enters the reactor gas collection chamber 1-4 and passes through the product gas transport pipe 1-5 to enter the downstream process. The spent catalyst from the reaction zone enters the reactor stripper 1-6 through the open end of the inlet pipe, is stripped, and then passes through the spent slide valve 1-7 and the spent catalyst transport pipe 1-8 to enter the fluidized bed regenerator 2. b) The regeneration gas is introduced into the regeneration section of the fluidized-bed regenerator 2 through the regenerator distributor 2-2 and contacts the spent catalyst. The coke on the spent catalyst reacts with the regeneration gas to produce exhaust gas, and the spent catalyst is converted into regenerated catalyst. The exhaust gas enters the regenerator gas-solid separator 2-3 to remove the entrained regenerated catalyst. The exhaust gas then enters the regenerator gas collection chamber 2-4 and the exhaust gas transport pipe 2-5 to enter the downstream process. The regenerated catalyst then passes through the regenerator stripper 2-6 and the regeneration slide valve 2-7 to enter the lift tube reactor 3. c) The lift tube reactor feed is introduced into the lift tube reactor 3 and reacts with the regenerated catalyst from the fluidized bed regenerator 2. After the lift tube reactor feed is converted into aromatic hydrocarbons by the action of the catalyst, the stream containing the unreacted lift tube reactor feed, aromatic hydrocarbons, and catalyst enters the gas-solid separator II1-9 in the fluidized bed reactor 1 from the outlet of the lift tube reactor 3.
