Description

[Technical field]

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202211482757.X, filed on November 24, 2022, and entitled "α-Alkene Extractant and Method for Separating Alkane and α-Alkene," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of alkene separation, and specifically relates to an α-alkene extractant and a method for separating alkanes and α-alkenes. [Background technology]

[0003] Long-chain α-alkenes are important chemical raw materials and are widely used in the fields of surfactants, oilfield chemicals, alkene copolymers, alcohol plasticizers, lubricants and other fields. Traditionally, due to problems in the production process, the productivity of long-chain α-alkenes is low, and the supply of raw materials cannot keep up with the demand. In the end, the fine chemical industry of long-chain α-alkenes is in short supply and the import price is too high, so they can only import part of it or give up development. Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthetic oil contains abundant long-chain α-alkenes, and the production capacity of coal-based FT synthetic oil is high, so the technical problem that needs to be solved first is to find a method to separate high-purity long-chain α-alkenes from FT crude petroleum products.

[0004] Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is a process in which synthesis gas (CO+H 2) As a raw material, through the action of a catalyst, it is a reaction that produces liquid hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing organic substances, carbon dioxide, water, etc. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis can indirectly convert carbon-containing resources such as coal, natural gas, and biomass into liquid fuels, which has important practical significance for China's energy structure of "rich in coal, lacking in oil, and having natural gas". Wang Yadong et al. pointed out in the literature that the main products of high-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis include fuel oil, oxygen-containing organic chemical products, and alkenes. By extracting 1-carbon or α-alkenes within a certain carbon number range from alkenes with high content and continuous carbon number distribution through effective separation technology, not only can alkenes be produced instead of conventional processes such as wax cracking, ethylene oligomerization, and alkane dehydrogenation, but it is also beneficial for the diversified development of the downstream of Fischer-Tropsch products. Separating high-purity long-chain α-alkenes from F-T synthetic oil can not only obtain long-chain α-alkenes with high added value but also improve the economic efficiency of coal-based F-T synthetic oil.

[0005] In the past, the main separation methods include extractive rectification, composite membrane separation, adsorption, etc. Among them, extractive rectification technology combines the advantages of two operations, extraction and rectification, to greatly improve the separation efficiency of alkanes and alkenes. The operation process is to continuously add a high boiling point additive to the top of the rectification tower to change the relative volatility of the components in the liquid matter, making it easier to separate mixtures that are difficult to separate by ordinary rectification. However, most of the extractants used in the conventional extractive rectification method are single organic solvents, which are consumed in large quantities and have a severe impact on the environment due to secondary pollution, or the extractant used is a composite solvent, but the yield of the alkene product is extremely low, which does not meet the yield requirements in actual industrial production. The selection of an appropriate extractant is the key to whether separation can be realized. In the method of separating alkenes and alkanes using a composite membrane, the fabrication cost of the composite membrane is high and the implementation is complicated. The adsorption method has high requirements for the specific surface area and pore volume of the adsorbent, and in the adsorption separation process, the adsorbent is easily deactivated due to the accumulation of harmful substances during feeding, which leads to a decrease in production capacity and an easy adsorption saturation, and the regeneration and desorption processes generally require high temperatures and consume heat. Reactive rectification has strict requirements, for example, the main reaction time compared with the rectification time must not be too long, otherwise the separation capacity of the rectification tower will not be fully utilized.

[0006] In light of this, we propose this disclosure. Summary of the Invention
