Catalytic conversion method for producing light olefins Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of petroleum processing, and in particular relates to a catalytic conversion method for producing light olefins and a system for implementing the method. Background Art
[0002] Low-carbon olefins are important basic organic chemical raw materials and are widely used in various fields. For example, ethylene is mainly used to produce polyethylene, ethylene oxide, polyvinyl chloride and other materials. Propylene can be used to produce acrylonitrile, propylene oxide, acetone and other chemical products. Butene can be used to produce butadiene, butene polymers and other organic materials.
[0003] The typical process for producing light olefins at present is naphtha steam cracking, and the productive rate of its ethene and propylene is lower, and is difficult to meet the market demand that increases day by day. To this, CN1490287A discloses a method for producing light olefins as raw material by adopting a hydrocarbon mixture containing C4 or C5 monoolefins, wherein the hydrocarbon mixed stock contacts with a catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor and reacts, but the ethene and propylene productive rates are lower in the product obtained. CN114763483A discloses a method for producing light olefins by adopting a hydrocarbon raw material, wherein the hydrocarbon oil raw material containing olefins is first subjected to pyrolysis, and then the olefins in the separated product are introduced into a catalytic conversion reactor and continue to react, so as to fully utilize butenes and C5 or higher olefins to produce ethene and propylene, and reduce the methane yield.
[0004] Although the yield of light olefins in the existing methods of producing light olefins from olefin raw materials has been greatly improved, thermal cracking and secondary reactions of the products are still relatively common, the ethylene and propylene contents in the products are low, the ethylene / propylene ratio is low, and there is a problem of excessive energy consumption.

In addition, the spent catalyst is removed through the slide valve, which can reduce the energy consumption of the cooling zone and adjust the catalyst density.
[0040] (4) In the method of the present invention, the hydrocarbon feedstock catalytic conversion process of the present invention and the heavy oil catalytic cracking process can be coupled, thereby being used to produce a variety of target products, and the respective advantages of the processes for producing light olefins from different feedstocks can be brought into play, thereby increasing the yield and selectivity of light olefins and improving the utilization rate of petroleum resources.

[0066] 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.
[0067] 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.
[0068] 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.
[0069] 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.
[0070] 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).
[0071] 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.
[0072] Furthermore, the inventors of the present invention removed the catalyst from the dense-phase fluidized bed via a slide valve and used it for regeneration or returned it to the first catalytic conversion reaction, thereby improving catalyst utilization and reducing reaction energy consumption. Furthermore, the removed catalyst can be used for catalytic cracking of heavy hydrocarbon oil, further reducing reaction energy consumption and improving reaction efficiency.
[0073] The present invention provides a catalytic conversion method for producing light olefins, which comprises the following steps:
[0074] In a dense phase fluidized bed layer of a first catalytic conversion reactor (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the first reactor) having a catalyst density of a set value, a hydrocarbon feedstock is brought into contact with a first catalyst (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the catalyst) and a catalytic conversion reaction occurs. The reaction temperature is 550-800° C. to obtain a first reaction stream comprising a first 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. The set value of the catalyst density is selected from 100-700 kg / m 3 between;
[0075] The catalyst is taken out from the dense phase fluidized bed through the slide valve to keep the catalyst density in the dense phase fluidized bed at the set value.
[0076] Separating the first reaction oil and gas containing light olefins to obtain light olefins,
[0077] 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) .
[0078] In the present invention, by cooling the logistics 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.
[0079] 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.
[0080] 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.
[0081] 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.
[0082] 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.
[0083] 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.
[0084] 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.
[0085] 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.
[0086] In the present invention, the catalyst density in the dense-phase fluidized bed, specifically the catalyst density in the catalyst reservoir region, can be controlled by a slide valve. This allows the catalyst density in the dense-phase fluidized bed to be rapidly varied according to a set value. This also allows the relative position of the dense-phase fluidized bed and the cooling zone to be controlled, thereby adjusting the conversion rate and selectivity of the catalytic conversion reaction.
[0087] In the present invention, the light olefin is at least one of ethylene, propylene, and butene. The first reaction oil gas containing light olefins in the present invention generally contains a mixture of ethylene, propylene, and butene.
[0088] In the present invention, the catalyst density of the first catalytic conversion reactor is selected from 100-700 kg / m 3 The set value between 100-700 kg / m 3In the catalytic conversion reaction of the present invention, the reaction is carried out under the catalyst density of the set value. Therefore, in the present invention, it can also be said that the catalyst density of the dense phase fluidized bed is 100-700 kg / m 3 , indicating that the catalyst density is selected from 100-700 kg / m 3 A value between .
[0089] In the present invention, catalyst is removed from the dense-phase fluidized bed via a slide valve to maintain the catalyst density within the dense-phase fluidized bed at a set value. This not only improves the cooling efficiency of the cooling zone and reduces reaction energy consumption, but also allows the removed catalyst, which remains at a high temperature without cooling, to be returned to the first catalytic conversion reactor or fed to the second catalytic conversion reactor.
[0090] It should be noted that in the present invention, catalyst is removed from the bottom of the dense-phase fluidized bed via a slide valve. Therefore, the catalyst removed should be spent catalyst that has at least partially participated in the catalytic conversion reaction. The present invention does not intend to limit the state of the catalyst removed from the slide valve. As long as the catalyst density in the dense-phase fluidized bed reaches a set value after the catalyst is removed via the slide valve, it is sufficient. In the present invention, the catalyst removed from the slide valve is sometimes referred to as spent catalyst.
[0091] In one embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the spent catalyst is taken out from the first reactant stream comprising the first reaction oil gas containing light olefins and the first spent catalyst through a slide valve.
[0092] In one embodiment of the present invention, the catalyst taken out through the slide valve is optionally stripped and then introduced into a regenerator for regeneration.
[0093] In one embodiment of the present invention, the catalyst taken out through the slide valve is returned to the catalyst inlet of the first catalytic conversion reactor, mixed with the first catalyst, and then enters the reaction zone of the first catalytic conversion reactor again.
[0094] In one embodiment of the present invention, the catalyst taken out through the slide valve is used for a second catalytic conversion reaction.
[0095] 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.
[0096] 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.
[0097] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the cooling step, the temperature is lowered by using a cooling medium distributor.
[0098] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the cooling step, a heat extractor is used for cooling.
[0099] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the cooling step, the cooling medium in the cooling medium distributor or the heat extractor is at least one selected from liquefied gas, crude gasoline, stabilized gasoline, diesel, heavy diesel and water.
[0100] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the cooling zone, the cooling medium distributor is arranged in a ring shape along the circumference of the catalytic conversion reactor, and the cooling step is implemented through the cooling medium distributor.
[0101] 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.
[0102] As a cooling method using a cooling medium distributor, physical cooling by spraying cooling medium can be used, or the above-mentioned cooling medium can be used as a second raw material to undergo cracking reaction in the cooling zone to absorb heat, so as to quickly cool the post-reaction logistics.
[0103] 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.
[0104] 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 (i.e., the set value density), preferably at a position where the catalyst density drops to 70% to 30% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed (i.e., the set value density), 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.
[0105] 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.
[0106] 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 reaction stream after the cooling step in the cooling zone exceeds 530°C, 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 reaction stream after the cooling step in the cooling zone is lower than 450°C, the energy consumption of the cooling zone will be excessively increased, and the energy consumption required for subsequent catalyst regeneration will also increase.
[0107] 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.
[0108] 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.
[0109] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the first catalytic conversion reactor, the catalyst density (i.e., set value density) of the catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed is 100-700 kg / m 3 , preferably 300-650kg / m 3 , more preferably 500-650kg / m 3 If the density of the catalyst is too low, the contact between the reaction raw materials and the catalyst is insufficient, and thermal cracking reaction is likely to occur. 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.
[0110] In one embodiment of the present invention, the conditions for the catalytic conversion reaction include: a reaction temperature of 550-800°C, preferably 580-750°C, and more preferably 600-700°C.
[0111] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reaction time of the catalytic conversion reaction is 0.05-10 seconds, preferably 0.1-5 seconds, and more preferably 0.2-2 seconds.
[0112] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reaction pressure of the catalytic conversion reaction is 0.01-1 MPa, preferably 0.1-0.8 MPa, and more preferably 0.2-0.5 MPa.
[0113] 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, and more preferably (20-100):1.
[0114] 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.
[0115] 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.
[0116] 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.
[0117] 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.
[0118] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of the diameter to the height of the dense phase fluidized bed section is (1-20):1.
[0119] 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.
[0120] 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.
[0121] In one embodiment of the present invention, a slide valve for removing the catalyst is provided on the side wall of the expanded diameter section.
[0122] In one embodiment of the present invention, a gas-solid mixed fluid distributor is further provided at the tail of the first lifting section.
[0123] 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.

[0140] More specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes the following steps: performing gas-solid separation on the first reaction flow containing the first reaction oil gas containing light olefins and the first catalyst to be regenerated after cooling to obtain the first reaction oil gas containing light olefins and the first catalyst to be regenerated, then performing a charring regeneration treatment on the first catalyst to be regenerated, and returning it to the first catalytic conversion reactor as a regenerated catalyst, and performing separation means such as distillation and fractionation on the first reaction oil gas containing light olefins to obtain the light olefins and hydrocarbon components of the present invention.
[0141] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the separated hydrocarbon components are refluxed as hydrocarbon feedstock.
[0142] The present invention also allows the catalytic cracking process for hydrocarbon feedstocks to be coupled with the catalytic cracking process for heavy oil, thereby enabling the production of a variety of desired products.

[0177] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0178] As shown in Figure 1, the first catalytic converter reactor is a fluidized bed reactor. From bottom to top, the first catalytic converter reactor comprises a first riser section, an expansion section, a dense fluidized bed section, a cooling zone, a reduction section, and a second riser section. The diameter of the first riser section is 0.2-5 m, and its height accounts for 5-20% of the total height of the first reactor. The angle between the sidewall of the expansion section and the axis is 5-60 degrees, and the height of the expansion section accounts for 1-10% of the height of the first reactor. The ratio of the diameter to height of the dense fluidized bed section is (1-20:1), and its height accounts for 20-70% of the total height of the first reactor. The junction between the dense fluidized bed section and the second riser section is a reduction section. The angle between the sidewall of the reduction section and the axis is 5-60 degrees, and its height accounts for 5-20% of the total height of the first reactor. The ratio of the diameter of the second riser section to the diameter of the reaction zone is (0.2-0.8:1), and the height of the second riser section accounts for 1-20% of the total height of the first catalytic converter reactor. The cooling zone is located between the dense fluidized bed section and the reduced diameter section, where the catalyst density drops to 80% to 20% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed layer, preferably where the catalyst density drops to 70% to 30% of the catalyst density in the dense fluidized bed layer.
[0179] In the first reactor shown in Figure 1, a pre-lifting medium enters the first lifting section 33 from the bottom of the first reactor A via pipeline 1. The first catalyst from pipeline 24, lifted by the pre-lifting medium, ascends into the dense-phase fluidized bed reaction zone of the first reactor A. A hydrocarbon feedstock is injected into the bottom of the reaction zone via pipeline 2. After being distributed by material distributor 3, it comes into contact with the first catalyst, preheated to above 700°C, in the dense-phase fluidized bed, undergoing a catalytic cracking reaction. The reaction proceeds at a temperature of 550-800°C, producing a first reactant stream comprising a first reaction oil and gas containing light olefins and a first spent catalyst. In the cooling zone, the cooling medium is introduced into the cooling medium distributor 35 located therein via pipeline 4. The reactant stream directly contacts the cooling medium, rapidly cooling it. Within 0.5-2 seconds (preferably 0.5-1 second), the reaction oil and gas are cooled to 450-530°C (preferably 480-500°C). The cooled first reactant stream undergoes rapid gas-solid separation to produce the first reaction oil and gas and the first spent catalyst. The first reaction oil and gas then exit the first reactor A via the second riser. The catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed section is removed from the first reactor A via pipeline 8 via slide valve 7, maintaining the catalyst density at the set value.
[0180] Figure 2 shows a first reactor according to another embodiment of the present invention. This first reactor differs from the first reactor shown in Figure 1 in that a heat extractor is provided in the cooling zone. In the reaction apparatus shown in Figure 2, a pre-lifting medium enters the first lifting section 33 from the bottom of the first reactor A via pipeline 1. The first catalyst, preheated to above 700°C, from pipeline 24 is accelerated upward along the first lifting section by the pre-lifting medium. A hydrocarbon feedstock is injected into the bottom of the reaction zone of the first reactor via pipeline 2 and, after distribution via material distributor 3, comes into contact with the first catalyst, preheated to above 700°C, in a dense fluidized bed to react. The reaction proceeds at a temperature of 550-800°C, producing a first reactant stream comprising a first reaction oil and gas containing light olefins and a first spent catalyst. In the cooling zone, several heat exchangers are positioned along its circumference. Cooling medium is introduced into heat exchangers 39 via pipelines. The reaction products move upward, contacting the heat exchangers and cooling them. The reactant stream is cooled to 450-530°C (preferably 480-500°C) within 0.5-2 seconds (preferably 0.5-1 second) to prevent excessively high reaction temperatures, which could lead to deep reactions and secondary reactions. Catalyst in the dense fluidized bed section is removed from the first reactor A via pipeline 8 via slide valve 7, maintaining the catalyst density at the set value.
[0181] Figure 3 shows a first reactor according to another embodiment of the present invention. This first reactor differs from the first reactor shown in Figure 1 in that the feed position is different. A pre-lifting medium enters the first lifting section 33 from the bottom of the first reactor A via pipeline 1. The first catalyst from pipeline 24 ascends to the dense fluidized bed reaction zone under the lifting action of the pre-lifting medium. A hydrocarbon feedstock enters the dense fluidized bed reaction zone from the side of the first reactor via pipeline 36. After being distributed by material distributor 3, it comes into contact with the first catalyst, preheated to above 700°C, in the dense fluidized bed to undergo a catalytic cracking reaction. The reaction proceeds at a temperature of 550-800°C, producing a first reactant stream comprising a first reaction oil and gas containing light olefins and a first spent catalyst. In the cooling zone, the cooling medium is introduced via pipeline 4 into the cooling medium distributor 35 located therein. The reacted products come into direct contact with the cooling medium, cooling the reactant stream to 450-530°C (preferably 480-500°C) within 0.5-2 seconds (preferably 0.5-1 second). Rapid gas-solid separation then occurs to produce the first reaction gas and the first spent catalyst. The first reaction gas exits the first reactor via the second riser. The catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed is removed from the first reactor A via pipeline 8 via slide valve 7, maintaining the catalyst density at the set value.
[0182] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the method provided by the present invention can be completed according to the process shown in Figure 4. The pre-lifting medium enters from the bottom 2 of the first reactor through pipeline 1, and the first catalyst from pipeline 24 is accelerated upward along the first lifting section of the first reactor under the lifting effect of the pre-lifting medium. The hydrocarbon feedstock is injected into the bottom of the reaction zone through pipeline 2, and after being distributed by the material distributor 3 (not shown), it contacts the preheated first catalyst in a dense phase fluidized bed to undergo catalytic cracking reaction. The reaction is carried out at 550-800°C to obtain a first reaction stream. In the cooling zone, the reaction product contacts the cooling medium and is rapidly cooled. Within 0.5-2 seconds (preferably within 0.5-1 second), the reaction stream is cooled to 450-530°C (preferably 480-500°C), and then gas-solid separation is performed to obtain the first reaction oil and gas and the first catalyst to be generated. The first reaction oil and gas leave the first reactor through the second lifting section. Among them, the catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed section is controlled by the slide valve 7 through the pipeline 8 so that the catalyst density is maintained at a set value, and the taken out catalyst is introduced into the stripping section 9, and contacts with the stripping steam from the pipeline 25 to strip out the remaining reaction oil and gas on the catalyst. The reaction oil and gas obtained by stripping from the first catalyst to be regenerated is separated by the cyclone separator 13 and then enters the gas collecting chamber 14.
[0183] After stripping, the first spent catalyst enters regenerator 16 via regeneration inclined pipe 15. It then comes into contact with oxygen-containing gas introduced into the regenerator via pipeline 17, where it undergoes char regeneration. This removes coke from the spent catalyst and regenerates the deactivated first spent catalyst. Supplemental fuel enters the regenerator via pipeline 18 to replenish heat for the regenerated first catalyst.
[0184] The reaction oil and gas leaving the second rising section of the first reactor enters the fractionation tower 21 through the large oil and gas pipeline 20 for the first separation. The separated hydrogen, methane and ethane are drawn out through pipeline 22, ethylene is drawn out through pipeline 23, propylene is drawn out through pipeline 26, and butene is drawn out through pipeline 27. Butene may or may not be returned to the first reactor as a feedstock for further reaction. Propane and butane are drawn out through pipeline 28. The first catalytic cracking distillate oil with an initial boiling point of any temperature greater than 20°C and less than 140°C is introduced into the alkane-olefin separation unit 30 through pipeline 29 for the second separation treatment. The separation produces an olefin-free stream and an olefin-rich stream. The olefin-free stream is drawn out through pipeline 31, and the olefin-rich stream is returned to the first reactor through pipeline 32 as a feedstock for further reaction.
[0185] In the present invention, the catalyst separation device and the separation device for the first reaction oil gas containing light olefins in FIG. 4 of the present invention are applicable to other embodiments of the present invention, such as the embodiments in FIG. 1-3 .
[0186] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 5, the difference between it and the process shown in Figure 4 is that the destination of the catalyst to be regenerated after the reaction in the first reactor is different. In this specific embodiment, the catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed section in the first reactor is controlled by a slide valve 7, enters the bottom of the first reactor A through pipeline 8, and is mixed with the regenerated first catalyst from pipeline 24 and then sent to the reaction zone of the first reactor to participate in the reaction again.
[0187] In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 6, a first reactor A is coupled to a second reactor B. A pre-lifting medium enters a first lifting section 33 from the bottom of the first reactor A via pipeline 1. The first catalyst from pipeline 24 ascends to the reaction zone under the lifting action of the pre-lifting medium. A hydrocarbon feedstock is injected into the bottom of the reaction zone of the first reactor A via pipeline 2. After distribution through a material distributor 3 (not shown), the feedstock reacts in a dense fluidized bed. The post-reaction stream is rapidly cooled in a cooling zone and undergoes rapid gas-solid separation, yielding a first reaction oil and gas and a first spent catalyst.
[0188] Heavy feedstock oil is injected into the bottom of the second reactor B via pipeline 5 along with atomizing steam from pipeline 6. In the reaction zone of the second reactor B, the heavy feedstock oil contacts and reacts with the second catalyst introduced via pipeline 19, producing a second reaction stream containing second reaction oil and gas containing light oil and second spent catalyst. The second reaction stream is cooled in a cooling zone upstream of the reaction zone. The catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed section of the first reactor A is controlled by a slide valve 7 and introduced into the stripping section 9 from the bottom of the reaction zone of the first reactor A via pipeline 8, where it contacts stripping steam from pipeline 25. The oil and gas stripped from the spent catalyst pass through a cyclone separator 13 and into a plenum 14. The stripped spent catalyst enters a regenerator 16 via a regeneration slant pipe 15. Main air enters the regenerator 16 via pipeline 17 to remove coke from the spent catalyst and regenerate the deactivated spent catalyst. Makeup fuel enters the regenerator via pipeline 18 to replenish heat for the regenerated catalyst. The preheated regenerated catalyst enters the second reactor B via pipeline 19 and enters the first reactor A via pipeline 24.
[0189] The first reaction oil and gas and the second reaction oil and gas containing light oil enter the distillation tower 21 through the large oil and gas pipeline 20 for the first separation treatment. The separated hydrogen, methane and ethane are drawn out through pipeline 22, ethylene is drawn out through pipeline 23, propylene is drawn out through pipeline 26, and butene is drawn out through pipeline 27. Butene may or may not be returned to the first reactor A for further reaction. Propane and butane are drawn out through pipeline 28. The first catalytic cracking distillate oil with an initial boiling point of any temperature greater than 20°C and less than 140°C is introduced into the alkane-olefin separation unit 30 through pipeline 29 for the second separation treatment. The olefin-free stream and the olefin-rich hydrocarbon component are separated: the olefin-free stream is drawn out through pipeline 31, and the olefin-rich hydrocarbon component is returned to the first reactor A through pipeline 32 as a feedstock for further reaction.
[0190] The seventh embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figures 1 and 7. The difference between it and the embodiment shown in Figure 6 is that the destination of the catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed section in the first reactor A is different. The catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed section is controlled by a slide valve 7 and enters the first rising section of the second reactor B from the bottom of the first reactor A through pipeline 37, where it is mixed with the regenerated catalyst from pipeline 19 and contacts and reacts with the heavy crude oil from pipeline 5.

[0228] Example
[0229] The present invention is further described in detail below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited thereby. The raw materials used in the examples were all commercially available. The catalyst used in the examples and comparative examples was TCC-1, produced by the Qilu Branch of Sinopec Catalyst Co., Ltd.
[0230] The heavy hydrocarbon oil used in the examples and comparative examples of the present invention is heavy oil I, and the properties of heavy oil I are shown in Table 1.
[0231] Table 1
[0232] Example 1
[0233] The experiment of this embodiment was carried out on the process shown in Figure 1. The first reactor was a medium-sized dense phase fluidized bed reactor, the raw material was 1-pentene, and the catalyst was TCC-1.
[0234] The preheated raw material 1-pentene enters the bottom of the reaction zone of the first reactor and enters the reaction zone through the gas-solid mixed fluid distributor, where it contacts the first catalyst preheated to 700°C in the form of a dense phase fluidized bed for catalytic cracking reaction. The catalyst density is controlled at 400 kg / m 3 Downstream of the reactant flow, the density of the catalyst is reduced to 100 kg / m 3 A cooling zone is set up at the position of the reactor, using water as the cooling medium to rapidly cool the post-reaction stream. Within 1 second, the post-reaction stream is rapidly cooled to below 530°C in the cooling zone. A cyclone separator separates the stream into spent catalyst and ethylene- and propylene-rich oil and gas. The ethylene- and propylene-rich oil and gas are then sent to a subsequent separation unit for further separation. During the reaction, the catalyst in the dense fluidized bed section is removed from the bottom of the reactor's reaction zone using a slide valve. The reaction conditions and product distribution are shown in Table 2.
[0235] Example 2
[0236] The experiments in this example were conducted on a medium-sized fluidized bed reactor in the flow diagram shown in Figure 1. The raw material was 1-pentene and the catalyst was TCC-1. The difference from Example 1 is that the catalyst density was reduced to 300 kg / m downstream of the reactant flow. 3 The cooling zone was set at the position of , and the reaction conditions and product distribution are shown in Table 2.
[0237] Comparative Example 1
[0238] The experiment of this comparative example was conducted on a medium-sized fluidized bed reactor of the process shown in Figure 4. The raw material was 1-pentene and the catalyst was TCC-1. The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 was that the density of the first catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed of the first reactor was 90 kg / m3 , and no cooling was performed after the catalytic conversion reaction. The reaction conditions and product distribution are shown in Table 2.
[0239] Table 2
[0240] As can be seen from Table 2, the method of the present invention has a higher yield of ethylene and propylene when high-temperature cracking is carried out in a fluidized bed reactor. The content of ethylene, propylene and butene in the obtained reaction oil and gas is as high as 63.62%, and the ethylene / propylene ratio is as high as 0.76.
[0241] Example 3
[0242] The test of this embodiment was carried out on the process shown in FIG7 , and the first reactor was a medium-sized dense-phase fluidized bed reactor.
[0243] The hot raw material 1-pentene enters the bottom of the reaction zone of the first reactor and contacts with the TCC-1 catalyst preheated to 700℃ in the form of a dense phase fluidized bed to carry out the first catalytic conversion reaction. The catalyst density is controlled at 400kg / m 3 ; Downstream of the reactant flow, the density of the catalyst is reduced to 100 kg / m 3 A cooling zone is set up at the position of the reactor, and water is used as the cooling medium to rapidly cool the post-reaction stream, reducing the temperature to 500°C within 1 second. The cooled reactant stream is separated in a cyclone separator to obtain the first reaction oil and gas containing light olefins and the first spent catalyst. During the reaction, the catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed section is fed from the bottom of the reaction zone of the first reactor to the bottom of the second reactor via a slide valve.
[0244] The heavy oil I is introduced into the second reactor from the bottom of the second reactor and contacts with the mixed catalyst of the regenerated TCC-1 catalyst and the catalyst from the first reactor to undergo a second catalytic conversion reaction, thereby obtaining a second reaction oil gas containing light oil and a second catalyst to be regenerated.
[0245] The first catalyst to be regenerated and the second catalyst to be regenerated enter the regenerator for charring and regeneration to obtain a regenerated catalyst.
[0246] The first reaction gas containing light olefins and the second reaction gas containing light oil were mixed and fed into a fractionation unit, where they were fractionated according to the distillation range to produce ethylene, propylene, butene, and an olefin-containing stream. The olefin-containing stream was then introduced into an alkane-olefin separation unit for separation to produce an olefin-rich hydrocarbon fraction (the olefin-rich hydrocarbon fraction had an olefin content of 80% by weight). This olefin-rich hydrocarbon fraction was then fed to the bottom of the reaction zone of the first reactor and returned to the reactor. The reaction conditions and product distribution are shown in Table 3.
[0247] Comparative Example 2
[0248] The experiment of this comparative example was carried out with reference to Example 2, except that no cooling was performed after the catalytic conversion reaction. The reaction conditions and product distribution are shown in Table 3.
[0249] Example 4
[0250] The test of this example was carried out on a pilot plant of the first reactor in the flow chart shown in FIG6 .
[0251] Hot raw material 1-pentene enters the bottom of the reaction zone of the first reactor and mixes with the preheated 1-pentene to 700℃ and the density controlled at 400kg / m 3 The catalyst contacts and catalytic conversion reaction occurs; in the downstream of the reactant flow, the density of the catalyst is reduced to 100 kg / m 3 A cooling zone is set up at the position of the reactor. The post-reaction stream is cooled in a heat extractor to 500°C within 1 second. The cooled stream is separated in a cyclone separator to produce a first reaction gas containing light olefins and a first spent catalyst. During the reaction, the catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed is controlled by a slide valve at the bottom of the reaction zone of the first reactor and introduced into the stripping section of the second reactor after gas-solid separation to produce spent catalyst. The heavy feedstock and the second catalyst are contacted and reacted at the bottom of the second reactor at a temperature of 560°C, a pressure of 0.2 MPa, and a reaction time of 6 seconds. The weight ratio of the second catalyst to heavy oil (I) is 5:1. This produces the second reaction gas and spent catalyst. The spent catalyst enters a regenerator for regeneration. The reaction products are fractionated according to the distillation range in a product fractionator to produce ethylene, propylene, butenes, and a crude olefin-containing stream. The crude olefin-containing stream continued to flow into an alkane-olefin separation unit to produce an olefin-rich hydrocarbon fraction. The olefin-rich hydrocarbon fraction had an olefin content of 80% by weight. This olefin-rich hydrocarbon fraction was introduced into the first reactor from the bottom of the reaction zone of the first reactor. The reaction conditions and product distribution are shown in Table 4.
[0252] Comparative Example 3
[0253] The experiment of this comparative example was conducted with reference to Example 3. The difference from Example 3 is that the catalyst in the dense phase fluidized bed was not removed during the reaction. The reaction conditions and product distribution are shown in Table 4.
[0254] Table 3
[0255] Table 4
[0256] As can be seen from Tables 2 to 4, by coupling the production of light olefins from light feedstocks with the catalytic cracking of heavy oil, adjusting the density of the catalyst in the catalytic cracking reactor for light feedstocks, and providing cooling zones at appropriate locations for cooling, the yields of ethylene, propylene, and butene in the resulting reaction oil and gas were significantly improved. Furthermore, removing part of the spent catalyst through a slide valve can reduce the energy consumption of the cooling zone, thereby reducing the overall energy consumption of the reaction.
