Method and system for producing light olefins from hydrocarbon feedstock Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of petrochemical industry, and in particular, relates to a method for producing light olefins from hydrocarbon raw materials and a system for implementing the method. Background Art
[0002] As an important organic chemical raw material, the consumption of light olefins has maintained a strong growth trend. Technologies for producing light olefins from petroleum include steam cracking, refinery fluid catalytic cracking, catalytic cracking, alkane dehydrogenation, and olefin disproportionation. The typical process for producing light olefins is steam cracking, which produces ethylene and propylene. This consumes large amounts of light hydrocarbons or chemical light hydrocarbons such as naphtha. However, due to the relatively heavy quality of domestic crude oil, the production capacity of chemical light oil is insufficient to meet the demand for light olefin feedstock. Moreover, as demand increases, traditional steam cracking processes have struggled to meet the market demand for light olefins.
[0003] CN114763483A discloses a catalytic conversion method for producing ethylene and propylene. By replacing the alkane feedstock with an olefin-rich feedstock, the yield of ethylene and propylene is effectively increased, while the selectivity for methane in the product is reduced. CN115108876A discloses a catalytic conversion method for producing light olefins using organic oxygenates as part of the feedstock. By performing catalytic conversion reactions on the olefin-rich feedstock, heavy feedstock, and organic oxygenate feedstock in different reaction zones of a catalytic conversion reactor, the advantages of different process routes are fully utilized to increase the yield and selectivity of light olefins, particularly ethylene and propylene.
[0004] To meet the needs of the petrochemical industry while also improving quality and efficiency, a process has been developed to produce light olefins by cracking higher olefins (with carbon atoms greater than or equal to 5) from refinery processes. However, the yield and selectivity of light olefins in existing processes still need to be further improved.

[0016] Mixing the second reaction stream containing the reaction oil gas containing light oil and the second spent catalyst with the first reaction stream, and performing a first separation on the mixed stream to obtain a mixed reaction stream containing light olefins and a mixed spent catalyst;
[0017] The mixed reaction flow containing light olefins is fractionated to separate dry gas, light olefins and C5 and above distillate oil, the C5 and above distillate oil is subjected to a second separation and the separated olefin-rich stream is returned to the first catalytic conversion reactor; and the mixed spent catalyst is charred and regenerated, and the regenerated catalyst is returned to the first catalytic conversion reactor as a first regenerated catalyst and to the second catalytic conversion reactor as a second regenerated catalyst.

[0036] (5) In the device of the present invention, by providing a cooling zone at an appropriate downstream position in the catalytic conversion reactor, the reaction flow after catalytic conversion can be rapidly cooled, thereby suppressing unnecessary thermal cracking reactions in the reaction flow and reducing the generation of by-products such as methane, thereby improving the yield and selectivity of light olefins.

[0061] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. However, it should be noted that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by these specific embodiments, but is determined by the appended claims.
[0062] In the context of this specification, except for the contents explicitly stated, any matters or issues not mentioned are directly applicable to those known in the art without any changes. Moreover, any embodiment described herein can be freely combined with one or more other embodiments described herein, and the technical solutions or technical ideas formed thereby are considered part of the original disclosure or original description of the present invention, and should not be regarded as new content not disclosed or anticipated herein, unless a person skilled in the art considers that the combination is obviously unreasonable.
[0063] Unless otherwise specified, all percentages, parts, ratios, etc. mentioned in this specification are based on weight, unless the weight basis does not conform to the general understanding of those skilled in the art.
[0064] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. However, it should be noted that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by these specific embodiments, but is determined by the claims in the appendix.
[0065] In the context of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the physical properties of a substance (such as boiling point) are all measured values at normal temperature (25° C.) and normal pressure (101325 Pa).
[0066] After in-depth research, the inventors of the present invention found that by contacting the hydrocarbon feedstock with the catalyst in a high-density dense fluidized bed and rapidly cooling the post-reaction logistics at an appropriate location, the generation of dry gas (mainly methane) in the product can be effectively suppressed, and the proportion of light olefins in the product can be increased; on the other hand, by maintaining the dense fluidized bed at a specific temperature, the occurrence of bimolecular cracking reactions can be effectively suppressed, and the production of high-carbon olefins can be suppressed, thereby increasing the proportion of light olefins in the product.
[0067] Therefore, the present invention provides a method for producing light olefins from hydrocarbon feedstock, the method comprising the following steps:
[0068] The catalyst density in the first catalytic conversion reactor is 100-700 kg / m 3In a dense phase fluidized bed, a hydrocarbon feedstock is brought into contact with a first catalyst (sometimes referred to as catalyst in the present invention) and a catalytic conversion reaction occurs at a reaction temperature of 550-800° C. to obtain a first reaction stream comprising reaction oil gas containing light olefins and a first spent catalyst. The first reaction stream is then cooled to 450-530° C. in a cooling zone.
[0069] Then, light olefins are separated from the first reactant stream,
[0070] Among them, a cooling zone is set at a position where the catalyst density is reduced to 80% to 20% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed layer, and preferably a cooling zone is set at a position where the catalyst density is reduced to 70% to 30% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed layer, to cool the first reactant flow (in the present invention, also referred to as the reactant flow or reactant flow after the reaction) .
[0071] In the present invention, by cooling the reactant flow after the catalytic conversion reaction in a cooling zone at a specific position, the control of the catalytic cracking reaction and the thermal cracking reaction is optimized, the thermal cracking reaction during the reaction process can be effectively suppressed, and the yield and selectivity of light olefins can be improved.
[0072] The inventors have discovered that by providing a cooling zone at a specific location to cool the reactant flow immediately after the catalytic conversion reaction, the thermal cracking reaction during the reaction process can be effectively suppressed, thereby improving the yield and selectivity of light olefins. Specifically, after in-depth research, the inventors have discovered that when the cooling zone is located too upstream of the catalytic conversion reaction zone, the cooling zone may intrude into the catalytic conversion reaction zone, affecting the temperature of the conversion reaction, resulting in the formation of large molecular olefin products, and affecting the selectivity and yield of the ethylene product. On the other hand, when the cooling zone is located too downstream of the catalytic conversion reaction zone, the reactant flow in the catalyst dilute phase zone is at a high temperature, but is not in sufficient contact with the catalyst, resulting in insufficient suppression of the thermal cracking reaction, thereby affecting the yield and selectivity of light olefins.
[0073] The inventors of the present invention have conducted in-depth research and exploration on this issue and found that in the first catalytic conversion reactor, when the catalyst density is 100-700 kg / m 3 Downstream of the dense fluidized bed, a cooling zone is provided at a position where the catalyst density is reduced to 80% to 20% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed, preferably to 70% to 30% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed, to cool the post-reaction stream (this cooling step is sometimes also referred to as a cooling step in the present invention). This effectively suppresses thermal cracking reactions in the reactant stream after the catalytic conversion reaction, thereby improving the yield and selectivity of light olefins.
[0074] In other words, in the present invention, the first catalytic conversion reactor includes a catalyst with a density of 100-700 kg / m 3 A cooling zone is set in the bed layer of the dense fluidized bed along the downstream position of the dense fluidized bed in the direction of the reactant flow, where the catalyst density is reduced to 80%-20% of the catalyst density in the bed layer of the dense fluidized bed, preferably to 70%-30% of the catalyst density in the bed layer of the dense fluidized bed, to cool the flow from the dense fluidized bed after the catalytic conversion reaction to 450-530°C, preferably to 480-500°C.
[0075] In the present invention, a cooling zone is set at a position where the catalyst density drops to a specific range. The reactant flow after the reaction enters the cooling zone for cooling. After being cooled to 450-530°C, the reactant flow basically no longer undergoes catalytic conversion reaction.
[0076] Therefore, in the present invention, "providing a cooling zone at a location where the catalyst density drops to a specific range" means providing a cooling zone at any location within the region where the catalyst density drops to a specific range, rather than defining that region as the cooling zone. In fact, in the present invention, there is no intended limitation on the length of the cooling zone in the direction of reactant flow; as long as the temperature can be rapidly reduced (e.g., within 0.5-2 seconds, or within 0.5-1 second) to cool the reacted stream to 450-530°C, preferably 480-500°C, it will suffice.
[0077] As used herein, a "dense-phase fluidized bed" refers to the catalyst reservoir region within a catalytic converter reactor. A lifting medium is used to concentrate the catalyst in this region. The position of this bed can be varied by varying the lifting medium flow rate, the reactant flow rate, the amount of catalyst, and the like. Based on common knowledge in the art, a person skilled in the art can readily identify a dense-phase fluidized bed.
[0078] In the present invention, "catalyst density in a dense fluidized bed" refers to the catalyst density in the catalyst inventory region of a catalytic conversion reactor. In this catalyst inventory region, the feed of catalyst and / or regenerated catalyst is balanced with the discharge of regenerated catalyst entrained in the post-reaction stream, and the catalyst inventory remains substantially constant. Therefore, the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed remains substantially constant. Those skilled in the art can adjust the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed as needed by means known in the art. For example, the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed can be adjusted based on the amount of catalyst used, the flow rate of the lifting medium, the diameter / height ratio of the fluidized bed section, etc.
[0079] In the present invention, the light olefin is at least one of ethylene, propylene, and butene. The reaction oil gas containing light olefins in the present invention comprises a mixture of ethylene, propylene, and butene.
[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, heat is added to the dense fluidized bed in the bed region (this step is also referred to as a heat-addition step in the present invention) to maintain the reaction temperature at 550-800°C.
[0081] By adding heat to the dense phase fluidized bed, the hydrocarbon feedstock and the catalyst are kept at a suitable temperature for catalytic conversion reaction, thereby significantly inhibiting the polymerization reaction of olefin molecules caused by the cooling of the reaction materials during the reaction, reducing the formation of large molecular olefin products, and at the same time improving the selectivity and yield of low-carbon olefins in the product, especially ethylene products, thereby obtaining high-quality and highly selective target products.
[0082] In the heating supplement step of the present invention, there is no limitation on the heating supplement means, and various heating supplement means known in the art can be used, such as using a heat exchanger for heating, using an electric heater for heating, etc.
[0083] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the heating supplement step, heating is performed by an instant heat supplement system.
[0084] In one embodiment of the present invention, the instant heat replenishment system comprises a catalyst replenishment pipe for introducing additional hot catalyst and / or hot regenerated catalyst into the dense phase fluidized bed.
[0085] In one embodiment of the present invention, the instant heat supplement system includes a heat supplier disposed in the dense phase fluidized bed layer of the reactor.
[0086] In one embodiment of the present invention, the heating medium in the heater is at least one of high-temperature steam and steam cracking gas.
[0087] In the method for producing light olefins from hydrocarbon feedstocks of the present invention, the temperature reduction performed in the cooling zone is also referred to as a cooling step.
[0088] In the cooling step of the present invention, there is no limitation on the means for cooling the temperature, and means known in the art may be used, such as cooling the temperature using a heat exchanger, cooling the temperature by introducing a cooling medium, etc.
[0089] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the cooling step, the temperature is lowered by introducing a cooling medium.
[0090] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the cooling step, a fluid distributor for introducing the cooling medium is used to reduce the temperature.
[0091] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the cooling step, a heat extractor is used for cooling.
[0092] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the cooling zone, the fluid distributor is arranged in a ring shape along the circumference of the catalytic conversion reactor, and the cooling step is implemented by the cooling medium introduced through the fluid distributor.
[0093] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the cooling zone, a heat exchanger is provided in an annular shape along the circumference of the catalytic conversion reactor, and the cooling step is performed by the heat exchanger.
[0094] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cooling medium is a coolant and / or a cooled catalyst; the coolant is at least one selected from liquefied gas, crude gasoline, stabilized gasoline, diesel, heavy diesel, water and olefins with eight or more carbon atoms.
[0095] In one embodiment of the present invention, the coolant in the heat exchanger is at least one selected from liquefied gas, crude gasoline, stabilized gasoline, diesel, heavy diesel, water and olefins having eight or more carbon atoms.
[0096] As a cooling method using a coolant, physical cooling can be used, or the above-mentioned coolant can be used as a second raw material to undergo a cracking reaction in the cooling zone to absorb heat, so as to quickly cool the post-reaction logistics.
[0097] In the present invention, a cooling step is implemented in a cooling zone at a specific position of the first catalytic conversion reactor to rapidly cool the logistics after the catalytic conversion reaction to a target temperature (450-530°C, preferably 480-500°C) in a short period of time, so as to effectively suppress the thermal cracking reaction in the reaction logistics after the catalytic conversion reaction and improve the yield and selectivity of light olefins.
[0098] In the present invention, a cooling zone is provided at a position where the catalyst density drops to 80% to 20% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed, preferably at a position where the catalyst density drops to 70% to 30% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed, to cool the reactant stream after the reaction. Thus, cooling of the reactant stream after the reaction begins at a position where the catalyst density drops to 80% to 20% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed, preferably at a position where the catalyst density drops to 70% to 30% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed, allowing the stream to be cooled rapidly.
[0099] In one embodiment of the present invention, cooling zones are provided at positions where the catalyst density is reduced to 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, or 20% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed.
[0100] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reaction stream is cooled to 450-530°C, preferably 480-500°C, by the cooling zone of the first catalytic conversion reactor. In the present invention, if the temperature of the post-reaction stream exceeds 530°C after the cooling step in the cooling zone, possible thermal cracking reactions in the reaction stream are not fully suppressed, resulting in a decrease in the yield and selectivity of light olefins. If the temperature of the post-reaction stream after the cooling step in the cooling zone is lower than 450°C, the energy consumption of the cooling zone will be increased, and the energy consumption required for subsequent catalyst regeneration will also increase.
[0101] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the cooling step in the cooling zone, the reacted logistics is cooled to the target temperature (450-530°C, preferably 480-500°C) within 0.5-2 seconds, preferably within 0.5-1 second.
[0102] In other words, the cooling step of the present invention must be performed rapidly. If the cooling time is too long, the cooling rate is insufficient, and possible thermal cracking reactions in the reactant stream are not fully suppressed, resulting in a decrease in the yield and selectivity of light olefins. On the other hand, if the cooling time is too short, an excessive amount of cooling medium or high-power heat extraction is required, resulting in unnecessary waste.
[0103] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the first catalytic conversion reactor, the catalyst density of the catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed is 100-700 kg / m 3 , preferably 300-600kg / m 3 , more preferably 400-500kg / m 3 If the density of the catalyst is too low, the contact between the reaction raw materials and the catalyst is insufficient, and the reaction raw materials are prone to thermal cracking reactions. On the other hand, if the density of the catalyst is too high, it may cause secondary conversion of the product, which is not conducive to the production of light olefins.
[0104] In one embodiment of the present invention, the conditions for the catalytic conversion reaction include: a reaction temperature of 550-800°C, preferably 600-700°C, and more preferably 650-700°C.
[0105] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reaction time of the catalytic conversion reaction is 0.1-20 s, preferably 0.1-10 s, more preferably 0.1-5 s, and particularly preferably 0.2-0.5 s.
[0106] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reaction pressure of the catalytic conversion reaction is 0.05-2 MPa, preferably 0.1-1 MPa, and more preferably 0.1-0.6 MPa.
[0107] In one embodiment of the present invention, the weight ratio of the first catalyst to the hydrocarbon feedstock is (1-200):1, preferably (10-100):1, more preferably (5-50):1, and particularly preferably (12-30):1.
[0108] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first catalyst is a regenerated catalyst, preferably a catalyst obtained by regenerating the first catalyst to be regenerated through a regenerator.
[0109] In the present invention, in the first catalytic conversion reactor, since the reactor is in the form of a riser reactor, the logistics in the reaction flow from bottom to top.
[0110] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first catalytic conversion reactor includes, from bottom to top, a first lifting section, an expansion section, a dense phase fluidized bed section, a cooling zone, a reduction section and a second lifting section.
[0111] In one embodiment of the present invention, the angle between the side wall of the expanded diameter section and the axis is 5-60 degrees.
[0112] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of the diameter to the height of the dense phase fluidized bed section is (0.1-20):1, preferably (0.1-10):1.
[0113] In one embodiment of the present invention, the angle between the side wall of the reduced diameter section and the axis is 5-60 degrees.
[0114] In one embodiment of the present invention, a hot catalyst inlet and a lifting medium inlet are provided at the head of the first lifting section; and a raw material inlet is provided at the middle of the first lifting section.
[0115] In one embodiment of the present invention, a raw material inlet is provided on the side wall of the expanded diameter section.
[0116] In one embodiment of the present invention, a gas-solid mixed fluid distributor is further provided at the tail of the first lifting section.
[0117] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cooling zone is located downstream of the dense fluidized bed section and upstream of the diameter reduction section. Specifically, the cooling zone is located at any position within the region where the catalyst density is reduced to 80% to 20% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed layer, and preferably located at any position within the region where the catalyst density is reduced to 70% to 30% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed layer.
[0118] In one embodiment of the present invention, the end of the second lifting section is connected to a pipeline connected to a subsequent separation system. Through the pipeline, the first reaction flow containing reaction oil and gas containing light olefins and the first catalyst to be generated is transported to the separation system for gas-solid separation. The diameter of the pipeline can be determined according to the specific situation.
[0119] In one embodiment of the present invention, based on the total weight of the first catalyst, the first catalyst comprises 1-50 wt% of a molecular sieve, 5-99 wt% of an inorganic oxide, and 0-70 wt% of clay;
