Description

[Technical field]

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202111667068.1, entitled "Method for Removing Oxygen-Containing Compounds in High Carbon Number Fischer-Tropsch Oil," filed on December 31, 2021, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0002] <Technical field> The present disclosure relates to the chemical engineering field, and in particular to a method for removing oxygen-containing compounds in high carbon number Fischer-Tropsch oils. [Background technology]

[0003] Fischer-Tropsch oil contains a large amount of α-alkenes and has many downstream applications, but during the Fischer-Tropsch reaction process, it produces about 5 wt% of oxygen-containing compounds, which are mainly classified into five types: aldehydes, acids, alcohols, ketones, and esters. If such impurities are contained in the product, it will affect the application of downstream products, so it is necessary to take measures to remove the oxygen-containing compounds.

[0004] In CN106753546A (2017), a strong alkaline aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide solution composite extractant is used to remove oxygen-containing compounds, and the extracted Fischer-Tropsch synthetic light oil is further passed through a silica gel dryer, after which the total content of oxygen-containing compounds is less than 0.05%. In CN112745909A (2019), an ethylene glycol composite extractant is used, where the composite extractant contains a main solvent and a co-solvent, the main solvent is an ethylene glycol compound, and the co-solvent is water, ammonia water, alcohol amine compound, amide compound or sulfone compound, and the yield of hydrocarbon compounds can reach more than 96% by mass.

[0005] However, most of the conventional processes are aimed at petroleum products with low carbon numbers, and the higher the carbon number of the petroleum product, the more difficult it is to remove oxygen-containing compounds. Conventionally, it has been difficult to effectively remove oxygen-containing compounds from petroleum products with high carbon numbers. In view of this, we particularly propose this publication.
