Abstract
Description
Detailed description of the invention
[0001] [Technical Field] This application relates to a fluidized bed apparatus and a method for using such apparatus, and belongs to the technical field of the chemical industry. In particular, this application relates to an apparatus and method for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by coupling naphtha and methanol.
[0002] 〔background〕 Aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, and xylene, collectively known as BTX) are important organic chemical raw materials. p-xylene (PX) is the most noteworthy product among aromatic hydrocarbons. p-xylene (PX) is mainly used in the production of polyesters such as terephthalic acid (PTA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT). In recent years, the production and consumption of p-xylene in China have been steadily increasing. In 2021, the total import volume of PX in China was approximately 13.65 million tons, and its dependence on foreign trade was approximately 38%.
[0003] Naphtha catalytic reforming is a major technological route for producing aromatic hydrocarbons. Naphtha composition is highly complex, and it is not only the primary raw material for catalytic reforming but also for ethylene production by cracking. The composition of naphtha plays a crucial role in the economic benefits of the equipment. Generally speaking, a high potential content of raw material aromatic hydrocarbons and a moderate distillation range are advantageous for catalytic reforming. On the other hand, a high content of linear-chain and branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons, and a low content of naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbons, is suitable for ethylene production by cracking. Typically, to fully utilize naphtha resources and improve economic benefits, it is necessary to first separate the linear-chain and branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons from the naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbons in the naphtha. The former are used as raw materials for ethylene production, and the latter are used as raw materials for catalytic reforming equipment.
[0004] The distillation range of naphtha fractions is wide, and conventional separation methods make it difficult to efficiently separate linear and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons from naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Furthermore, it is difficult to convert linear and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons to aromatic hydrocarbons using catalytic reforming techniques. Generally, naphtha feedstocks used for catalytic reforming need to be distilled to separate the blubber oil with a boiling point below 60°C in order to increase the potential content of aromatic hydrocarbons for catalytic reforming. However, fractions with boiling points above 60°C still contain many linear and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons that are difficult to convert to aromatic hydrocarbons. Therefore, highly selective conversion of linear and branched aliphatic hydrocarbons to aromatic hydrocarbons has always been a hot and challenging point in the development of technologies for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons from naphtha.
[0005] Due to thermodynamic equilibrium constraints, p-xylene accounts for only about 24% of the xylene mixture produced by naphtha catalytic reforming, making it necessary to further increase the yield of p-xylene through isomerization separation technology. Therefore, increasing the p-xylene content in the xylene mixture is an important method for reducing the energy consumption required for p-xylene production.
[0006] 〔overview〕 Naphtha molecules contain only a small amount of methyl groups (methyl group / benzene ring = ~1.3 (molar ratio)). The molecular structure of naphtha molecules inevitably leads to the production of a large amount of benzene as a by-product in catalytic reforming / aromatic compound compounding plants.
[0007] The aromatization of methanol is a novel process for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons. Methanol molecules contain an excess of hydrogen atoms compared to aromatic hydrocarbons. Therefore, the preparation of aromatic hydrocarbons using methanol inevitably produces large amounts of alkanes and hydrogen as by-products. Based on its molecular structure and reaction mechanism, methanol can provide the methyl group necessary for aromatic hydrocarbons. This increases the yield of toluene and xylene. Thus, a novel technological route for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by coupling naphtha and methanol is provided.
[0008] In one aspect of this application, an apparatus is provided that can prepare aromatic hydrocarbons using naphtha and methanol as raw materials. This apparatus increases the p-xylene content in the mixed xylene and reduces the energy consumption for separation.

As a result, the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons in techniques for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons using naphtha is significantly improved.
[0091] 3) According to this application, an apparatus for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by coupling naphtha and methanol is provided with a naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor. The naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor includes a plurality of sub-dispersors, through which naphtha enters the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction zone through the first sub-dispersor, and methanol enters the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction zone through each of the second to nth sub-dispersors. The naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor is a fluidized bed reactor suitable for cascade reactions, in which the naphtha is converted to benzene and toluene at the bottom of the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction zone, then flows upward to the middle and upper parts of the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction zone, where the benzene and toluene are subjected to a methylation reaction with methanol to further produce p-xylene. As a result, the yield of p-xylene is increased. The high-temperature catalyst from the light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor enters directly into the lower part of the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction zone. This is advantageous for supplying the heat necessary for the reaction to convert naphtha to aromatic hydrocarbons and improving the conversion rate of naphtha. Methanol enters directly into the central and upper parts of the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction zone. This effectively shortens the residence time of p-xylene in the reaction zone, suppresses the isomerization reaction of p-xylene, increases the p-xylene content in xylene (up to 75 wt% under optimal technical conditions), and significantly reduces the energy consumption for p-xylene separation. In summary, in the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor, the naphtha feedstock flows from bottom to top, and in the process of converting naphtha to aromatic hydrocarbons, the methylation feedstock (methanol) is added stepwise to control the cascade reaction (naphtha → benzene and toluene → p-xylene). As a result, the yield of p-xylene is increased.
[0092] 4) The aromatization reaction of naphtha is a strongly endothermic reaction; 1.1 MJ to 1.6 MJ of heat must be absorbed to convert 1 kg of naphtha into aromatic hydrocarbons. The methylation reaction of methanol and aromatic hydrocarbons is a strongly exothermic reaction; more than 2.0 MJ of heat may be released when converting 1 kg of methanol into methyl groups on aromatic hydrocarbons. Therefore, by preparing p-xylene from benzene, toluene, and methanol, heat for the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reaction can be supplied in situ. As a result, a self-heating balance (equilibrium) is achieved.
[0093] 5) According to this application, an apparatus for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by coupling naphtha and methanol is provided with a separate light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor. Low-carbon alkanes are very stable and require high reaction temperatures, and the temperature of the light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor is higher than that of the naphtha-methanol coupling aromatic hydrocarbon preparation reactor, so that low-carbon alkanes, as well as C4 and C5 hydrocarbons, are subjected to the aromatization reaction in the separate light hydrocarbon aromatization reactor. As a result, the reaction rate and the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons are increased.
