Abstract

This application discloses a fluidized-bed apparatus and method for co-producing aromatic hydrocarbons and olefins by coupling naphtha with methanol. Using this apparatus, naphtha and methanol are converted into a product gas primarily composed of aromatic hydrocarbons and low-carbon olefins through the action of a catalyst. This method can convert linear and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons to aromatic hydrocarbons with high selectivity, while increasing the production of paraxylene through the methylation of aromatic hydrocarbons, which can reach up to 75 wt% in a xylene mixture. The aromatization reactor for naphtha and methanol coupling in this application increases paraxylene production by controlling the progress of the stepwise reactions (naphtha → benzene, toluene → paraxylene). Furthermore, the methylation of benzene, toluene, and methanol provides the heat required for the aromatization reaction by coupling naphtha with methanol on-site, achieving autothermal equilibrium.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present application relates to a fluidized bed reactor and a method for using the same, and more particularly to a fluidized bed reactor for co-producing aromatics and olefins by coupling naphtha with methanol and a method therefor, which belong to the chemical industry technical field. [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] Naphtha fractions have a relatively broad distillation range, making it 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]

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 the high-activity catalyst from the regenerator above the first sub-distributor. The naphtha-methanol coupling aromatization reactor is a fluidized bed reactor suitable for staged reactions. Naphtha is 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, the benzene and toluene undergo methylation with methanol, further producing paraxylene, thereby achieving the production of the target product, paraxylene. The high-activity catalyst from the regenerator enters the lower part of the reaction zone directly, promoting the aromatization reaction of naphtha and improving naphtha conversion. The direct supply of methanol to the middle and upper parts of the reaction zone effectively shortens the residence time of paraxylene in the reaction zone, inhibiting paraxylene isomerization and improving the paraxylene content in xylene (reaching 75 wt% under optimal industrial conditions). At the same time, the energy consumption for paraxylene separation is significantly reduced. In summary, the methylation feedstock (methanol) is supplied in stages as the naphtha feedstock flows from bottom to top in the reactor, controlling the progress of the stepwise reactions (naphtha → benzene, toluene → paraxylene) and increasing paraxylene production. (4) 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 into aromatic hydrocarbons. On the other hand, 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 is converted into methyl groups of aromatic hydrocarbons. Therefore, the reaction for producing paraxylene from benzene, toluene, and methanol supplies heat in situ to the aromatization reaction by coupling naphtha with methanol, achieving autothermal equilibrium. (5) The aromatic hydrocarbon and olefin co-production apparatus of the present application by coupling naphtha and methanol is equipped with an independent light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor. Because low-carbon alkanes are very stable, a higher reaction temperature is required. The temperature of the light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor is higher than that of the aromatization reactor by coupling naphtha and methanol, and low-carbon alkanes and C4 and C5 hydrocarbons undergo aromatization reactions in this independent reactor, thereby improving the reaction rate and aromatic hydrocarbon yield.

[0112] In a preferred embodiment, a gas collection chamber II3-7 is provided at the top inside the bed reactor.

[0113] In a preferred embodiment, the bed reactor distributor 3-5 is used to introduce the bed reactor feed.

[0114] In a preferred embodiment, the lift tube reactor inlet end 3-1 is piped to a regeneration slide valve II 2-9.

[0115] In a preferred embodiment, the lift tube reactor inlet end 3-1 is used to introduce catalyst and lift tube reactor feed.

[0116] The present application provides a process for the co-production of aromatic hydrocarbons and olefins by coupling naphtha with methanol using the above-described apparatus and a metal zeolite bifunctional catalyst.

[0117] Optionally, the catalyst employs a metal-modified HZSM-5 zeolite molecular sieve, wherein the metal used for the metal modification is selected from at least one of La, Zn, Ga, Fe, Mo, and Cr.

[0118] The method of metal modification involves soaking the HZSM-5 zeolite molecular sieve in a metal salt solution, drying and calcining to obtain the metal-modified HZSM-5 zeolite molecular sieve.

[0119] The method comprises the steps of: Naphtha enters the reaction zone through the first sub-distributor 1-2-1 of the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatization reactor distributor 1-2 and contacts the catalyst from regenerator 2 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 regenerator 2 enters gas-solid separation unit II 1-9, where the degassed catalyst enters between the first sub-distributor 1-2-1 and the second sub-distributor 1-2-2. Methanol enters the reaction zone through the second sub-distributor 1-2-2 to the third sub-distributor 1-2-3 of distributor 1-2 and undergoes a methylation reaction with benzene and toluene in the product gas stream to produce paraxylene. The catalyst from regenerator 2 is concentrated in the reaction zone and converted into spent catalyst. The product gas flow enters the gas-solid separator I1-3, and after the accompanying spent catalyst is removed, it enters the gas collection chamber I1-4 and is sent to the downstream process through the product gas transport pipe I1-5. The spent catalyst in the reaction zone enters the stripper I1-6 through the open end of its inlet pipe, is stripped, and is sent to the regenerator 2 through the spent catalyst slide valve I1-7 and the spent catalyst transport pipe I1-8.

[0120] The regeneration gas is supplied to the regeneration zone of the regenerator 2 through the regenerator distributor 2-2 and contacts the spent catalyst. This contact causes the coke on the spent catalyst to react with the regeneration gas, generating smoke and converting the spent catalyst into regenerated catalyst. The generated smoke is introduced into the regenerator gas-solid separator 2-3 to separate the accompanying regenerated catalyst, then flows into the regenerator gas collection chamber 2-4 and is sent to the downstream process through the exhaust gas transport pipe 2-5. The regenerated catalyst is sequentially passed through the regenerator stripper 2-6, the regeneration slide valve I2-7, and the regenerant transport pipe 2-8 and supplied to the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatization reactor 1. The regenerated catalyst is also supplied to the light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor 3 via the regenerator stripper 2-6 and the regeneration slide valve II2-9.

[0121] The lift tube reactor feedstock is fed to the lift tube reactor through the lift tube reactor inlet end 3-1 and reacts with the regenerated catalyst supplied from the regenerator. This reaction converts the lift tube reactor feedstock into a stream containing BTX, low-carbon olefins, H2, and other components. This stream is then introduced into the lower part of the light hydrocarbon aromatization reaction zone in the bed reactor through the lift tube reactor outlet end 3-3. Meanwhile, the bed reactor feedstock is fed to the light hydrocarbon aromatization reaction zone through the bed reactor distributor 3-5 and contacts the catalyst supplied from the lift tube reactor to produce a light hydrocarbon aromatization product gas containing BTX, low-carbon olefins, H2, and other components. The light hydrocarbon aromatization product gas is then introduced into the gas-solid separator III3-6 to separate the entrained catalyst, then flows into the gas collection chamber II3-7 and is sent to downstream processes through the product gas transport pipe II3-8. The catalyst in the light hydrocarbon aromatization reaction zone is sent to the regenerator 2 via a stripper II3-9, a spent slide valve II3-10, and a spent agent transport pipe II3-11.
