A fluidized catalytic conversion method for producing light olefins from hydrocarbons
[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims priority to patent application number 202110031551.4, filed on January 11, 2021, entitled “A catalytic conversion method for producing ethylene, propylene and butene”, patent application number 202110245789.7, filed on March 5, 2021, entitled “A catalytic conversion method for maximizing the production of ethylene and concurrently producing propylene”, and patent application number 202110296896.2, filed on March 19, 2021, entitled “A catalytic conversion method for producing low-carbon olefins”, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Technical Field
[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of fluidized catalytic conversion, and in particular to a fluidized catalytic conversion method for producing light olefins from hydrocarbons. Background Art
[0004] Olefins with four carbon atoms or fewer are important chemical raw materials, with typical products including ethylene, propylene, and butene. On the one hand, with the accelerating economic development, demand for light oil products and clean fuel oil is rapidly increasing across various industries. On the other hand, with the continuous increase in oil field production, the available output of conventional crude oil is decreasing, and crude oil quality is deteriorating, tending towards inferior and heavier grades. Although my country's light olefin production capacity has grown rapidly, it currently cannot meet the domestic market demand for light olefins.
[0005] Among them, the main products produced from ethylene include polyethylene, ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol, polyvinyl chloride, styrene, and vinyl acetate. The main products produced from propylene include acrylonitrile, propylene oxide, and acetone. The main products produced from butene include butadiene, which is also used to make methyl ethyl ketone, sec-butyl alcohol, butylene oxide, and butene polymers and copolymers. The main products produced from isobutylene include butyl rubber, polyisobutylene rubber, and various plastics. Therefore, ethylene, propylene, and butene are used to produce a variety of important organic chemical raw materials, synthetic resins, synthetic rubber, and various fine chemicals, and demand is growing.
[0006] The petroleum route uses traditional steam cracking to produce ethylene and propylene, which requires a large amount of light hydrocarbons, such as naphtha, for chemical production. It is estimated that 700,000 tons of chemical light oil will be needed annually by 2025. However, domestic crude oil is generally heavy, and chemical light oil cannot meet the demand for the raw materials for producing ethylene, propylene, and butenes. Steam cracking feedstocks mainly include light hydrocarbons (such as ethane, propane, and butane), naphtha, diesel, condensate, and hydroprocessing tail oil. Of these, naphtha accounts for over 50% by mass. The ethylene yield of a typical naphtha steam cracking process is approximately 29%-34%, and the propylene yield is 13%-16%. The low ethylene / propylene output ratio makes it difficult to meet the current demand for low-carbon olefins.
[0007] CN101092323A discloses a method for producing ethylene and propylene using a C4-C8 olefin mixture as a raw material, conducting a reaction at a temperature of 400-600°C and an absolute pressure of 0.02-0.3 MPa, and recycling 30-90% by weight of the C4 fraction via a separation device into a reactor for further cracking. This method primarily improves olefin conversion by recycling the C4 fraction, resulting in ethylene and propylene of no less than 62% of the total raw olefin content. However, the ethylene / propylene ratio is relatively small, making it difficult to flexibly adjust to market demand, and the reaction selectivity is low.
[0008] CN101239878A discloses a method using a C4 or higher olefin-rich mixture as a raw material, and carrying out the reaction at a reaction temperature of 400-680°C, a reaction pressure of -0.09 MPa to 1.0 MPa, and a weight space velocity of 0.1 to 50 h-1. The product ethylene / propylene ratio is low, less than 0.41. As the temperature rises, the ethylene / propylene ratio increases, and at the same time, the hydrogen, methane and ethane increase.
[0009] The non-petroleum route primarily uses oxygenated organic compounds, such as methanol or dimethyl ether, as feedstocks to produce light olefins, primarily ethylene and propylene. Methanol and dimethyl ether are typical oxygenated organic compounds. Their reaction characteristics for producing light olefins are rapid reaction, strong exotherm, low alcohol content, and a long induction period. Rapid catalyst deactivation is a major challenge facing the MTO process. Scientifically and efficiently addressing these issues, such as the long induction period and susceptibility to catalyst deactivation, has long been a challenge for researchers and engineers.
[0010] Therefore, in the new stage of transformation of oil refining enterprises into power centers integrating refining and chemical industry, the field urgently needs a new catalytic conversion model to integrate multiple catalytic conversion reaction forms and increase the production of high-value low-carbon olefins ethylene and propylene, and improve the selectivity of ethylene and propylene.

[0095] In a preferred embodiment, the reaction in step 1) is carried out under first catalytic conversion conditions, which include:
[0096] The reaction temperature is 600-800°C, preferably 630-780°C;

[0098] The reaction time is 0.01-100 seconds, preferably 0.1-80 seconds;
[0099] The weight ratio of the catalytic conversion catalyst to the olefin-rich feedstock is (1-200):1, preferably (3-180):1.
[0100] In a preferred embodiment, the reaction in step 2) is carried out under second catalytic conversion conditions, wherein the second catalytic conversion conditions include:

The inventors of this application have discovered that increasing the olefin content in the olefin-rich feedstock is beneficial for improving the yield and selectivity of light olefins in the product, and that using olefins above C5 achieves even better results.
[0106] In a preferred embodiment, the olefins in the olefin-rich feedstock are essentially composed of C5 or higher olefins, for example, more than 80%, more than 85%, more than 90% or more than 95% of the olefins in the olefin-rich feedstock, more preferably 100%, are C5 or higher olefins.

In certain embodiments, the olefin-rich feedstock may be derived solely from a stream containing C5 or higher olefins separated from the catalytic conversion products of a heavy oil feedstock, i.e., the olefin-rich feedstock is olefins recycled within the system. In other embodiments, the olefin-rich feedstock may include, in addition to the aforementioned stream containing C5 or higher olefins, additional olefin feedstock, with no particular requirement for the amount of the additional olefin feedstock.
[0108] In certain specific embodiments, the olefin-rich feedstock used in step 1) may be derived from any one or more of the following sources: a C5+ fraction produced by an alkane dehydrogenation unit, a C5+ fraction produced by a catalytic cracking unit in a refinery, a C5+ fraction produced by a steam cracker in an ethylene plant, or a C5+ olefin-rich fraction produced as a by-product of MTO (methanol to olefins) and MTP (methanol to propylene). In a preferred embodiment, the alkane feedstock used in the alkane dehydrogenation unit may be derived from at least one of naphtha, aromatic raffinate, and / or other light hydrocarbons. In actual production, alkane products produced by other petrochemical plants may also be used.

[0111] Further preferably, the support may be alumina containing a modifier; wherein the modifier content is 0.1-2% by weight based on the total weight of the dehydrogenation catalyst, and the modifier may be La and / or Ce; the active component may be platinum and / or chromium; and the promoter may be a combination of bismuth and an alkali metal component or a combination of bismuth and an alkaline earth metal component, wherein the molar ratio of bismuth to the active component is 1:(5-50), the molar ratio of bismuth to the alkali metal component is 1:(0.1-5), and the molar ratio of bismuth to the alkaline earth metal component is 1:(0.1-5). Particularly preferably, the alkali metal component may be selected from one or more of Li, Na, and K; and the alkaline earth metal component may be selected from one or more of Mg, Ca, and Ba.
[0112] In certain preferred embodiments, the fluidized catalytic conversion method of the present application further comprises the following steps:
[0113] 6) contacting the second catalytically cracked distillate with a hydrogenation catalyst and reacting under hydrogenation reaction conditions to produce a hydrocatalytically cracked distillate, which is then returned to the fluidized catalytic conversion reactor for continued reaction. In this embodiment, the reaction product, the catalytic wax oil, is hydrogenated and then reintroduced into the fluidized catalytic conversion reactor for continued reaction, thereby improving feedstock utilization and increasing the yields of ethylene, propylene, and butenes.
[0114] Preferably, the hydrocatalytically cracked distillate is returned to the second reaction zone of the fluidized catalytic converter reactor for further reaction. In this embodiment, the higher carbon number saturated hydrocarbons contained in the hydrocatalytically cracked distillate can be initially cracked into C5-C9 olefins in the second reaction zone under relatively mild reaction conditions. The resulting olefins are then returned to the first reaction zone of the reactor along with the olefin-rich stream in step 5) for further high temperature cracking, thereby further improving the ethylene yield.
[0115] According to the present application, the hydrogenation reaction conditions of step 6) can be those commonly used in the art, and the present application does not strictly limit them. In a further preferred embodiment, the reaction conditions for the contact reaction of the second catalytic cracking distillate oil with the hydrogenation catalyst may include: a hydrogen partial pressure of 3.0-20.0 MPa, a reaction temperature of 300-450°C, a hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio of 300-2000, and a volume space velocity of 0.1-3.0 hours. -1 .

[0118] 7) upstream of the introduction point of the olefin-rich feedstock, returning at least a portion of the butenes separated in step 3) to the catalytic conversion reactor for contact reaction with the catalytic conversion catalyst.
[0119] In this embodiment, the high-temperature catalytic conversion catalyst first contacts and reacts with the butenes returning to the reactor, then contacts and reacts with the olefin-rich feedstock, and finally contacts and reacts with the heavy feedstock. The difficulty of hydrocarbon cracking increases with decreasing carbon number, and butene cracking requires a high energy requirement. Therefore, in this embodiment, the high-temperature catalytic conversion catalyst first contacts butenes, then contacts the feedstock rich in C5 and higher olefins. This allows the butenes to be cracked first at a higher temperature, which not only improves butene conversion and product ethylene and propylene selectivity but also avoids the generation of a large number of byproducts when olefins are fed simultaneously, achieving efficient resource utilization.
