Detailed description of the invention
[0001] [Cross-reference of related applications] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202011138771.9, titled "System and Method for Processing Gasoline Fractions," filed on 22 October 2020. The entire contents of that application are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] [Technical Field] This application relates to the treatment of hydrocarbons. In particular, this application relates to a method and system for treating gasoline fractions.
[0003] [Background technology] Aromatic hydrocarbons are fundamental raw materials for the petrochemical industry. Paraxylene is a major aromatic hydrocarbon product, and the supply gap for paraxylene in China has reached over 1 billion tons in recent years. Accelerating the development of the aromatic hydrocarbon industry is crucial for the development of the basic chemical industry in China. In industrial plants, aromatic hydrocarbons are mainly produced through catalytic reforming of naphtha, followed by toluene / benzene and C9 + A is converted to xylene via isomerization and transalkylation units. Furthermore, steam cracking plants in China that produce light olefins also primarily use naphtha as a raw material. As a result, there is competition between raw materials for producing aromatic compounds and raw materials for producing olefins, driving up the costs of raw materials for both aromatic compounds and olefins. Therefore, the search for lower-cost and more diverse raw materials for producing aromatic compounds and olefins is a key factor in solving the problems that will be faced in the future development of the aromatic compound and olefin industries.
[0004] With the application and spread of new energy technologies in China, as well as improvements in gasoline, the future demand for vehicle gasoline is expected to decline. This will likely result in a supply surplus in the gasoline market. Therefore, intentionally converting some of the low-quality gasoline into high-value C8 aromatic hydrocarbons is an effective way to expand gasoline utilization, thereby alleviating the shortage of raw materials for paraxylene production.
[0005] CN1923965 discloses a method for producing ethylene, propylene, and aromatic hydrocarbons from catalytic cracking gasoline. In this method, the raw materials are first brought into contact with a catalyst in order to convert them into a mixture of ethylene, propylene, and aromatic hydrocarbons.
[0006] The conversion of hydrocarbon raw materials containing non-aromatic hydrocarbons into aromatic hydrocarbons is primarily achieved through aromatization technology. Aromaticization technology uses light olefins and alkanes to produce aromatic hydrocarbons through complex aromatization processes, thereby enabling diversification of aromatic compound production raw materials. The distribution of products in this process is closely related to the structure of the raw materials, with the main products including benzene components, toluene components, C8 aromatic hydrocarbon components, heavy aromatic hydrocarbon components, and non-aromatic hydrocarbon components. Therefore, increasing the directivity to the production of high-purity C8 aromatic hydrocarbons is difficult to achieve with aromatization technology alone. Aromatic compound transalkylation technology allows for the maximum conversion of benzene, toluene, and heavy aromatic compounds into C8 aromatic hydrocarbons, while simultaneously generating some light hydrocarbons as byproducts. For example, CN1122571 discloses a molecular sieve catalyst containing a noble metal. The molecular sieve catalyst containing the noble metal comprises 10 to 80% by weight of mordenite or β molecular sieve, 0 to 70% by weight of ZSM-5 and 5 to 90% by weight of γ-Al2O3 as a support, and 0.001 to 0.5 parts by weight of platinum and 0.01 to 10.0 parts by weight of tin or 0.01 to 7.0 parts by weight of lead supported on the support.
[0007] US2008 / 0026931A1 discloses a catalyst comprising an acidic molecular sieve and metallic components of rhenium, tin, and germanium. This catalyst is used for the transalkylation of heavy aromatic compounds and exhibits relatively high activity and a relatively low ring loss rate.
[0008] In processes that produce aromatic hydrocarbons as the target product, obtaining a high-purity product is extremely important. Aromatic compound plants are mainly involved in the separation of aromatic hydrocarbons from non-aromatic hydrocarbons by extraction or rectification, and the decomposition of non-aromatic hydrocarbons into small molecule light hydrocarbons by chemical cracking, which can improve the purity of the aromatic product.
[0009] US3,729,409 proposes converting non-aromatic hydrocarbons mixed with aromatic hydrocarbons into lower alkanes by hydrocracking in the presence of a catalyst. In this case, aromatic hydrocarbons can be separated from non-aromatic hydrocarbons using a gas-liquid separator.
[0010] However, existing methods still suffer from the challenge of limited comprehensive utilization of gasoline fractions and low product value.
[0011] [Summary of the Invention] The object of this application is to provide a novel method and system for processing gasoline fractions that can effectively expand the raw materials for producing aromatic compounds and olefins and enable the efficient and comprehensive utilization of gasoline fractions.

[0084] (Example of preparation of the aromatic compound conversion catalyst of this application) All reagents used in the following preparation examples are commercially available and have reagent-grade purity.
[0085] In the following preparation example, the NH3-TPD pattern of the obtained catalyst was measured by the following method: 100 mg of a sample ground to 20-40 mesh was weighed, heated to 500°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min under a nitrogen stream (30 ml / min), purged at a constant temperature for 30 minutes, cooled to 100°C after heat treatment, NH3 gas was introduced to adsorb ammonia, and the ammonia adsorption was maintained for 10 minutes. Then, the process was switched to a helium purge (30 ml / min) for 1 hour, heated to 600°C with a temperature programming of a heating rate of 10°C / min, and the signal of NH3 concentration in the effluent was detected by TCD.
