Description

High-density fast fluidized bed reactor, device and method for producing light olefins by catalytic cracking Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a high-density fast fluidized bed reactor, a device for catalytic cracking to produce light olefins and a method thereof, and belongs to the field of chemical catalysis. Background Art

[0002] Olefins are important basic organic chemical raw materials and the cornerstone of the modern chemical industry. Olefin production technologies primarily include naphtha cracking, methanol to olefins, propane dehydrogenation to propylene, alkane cracking to olefins, and olefin cracking to olefins. Light olefins are highly reactive and prone to reactions such as polymerization, alkylation, and aromatization, generating byproducts that reduce light olefin yields.

[0003] UOP has developed olefin catalytic cracking (OCP) technology, which converts C4-C8 olefin feedstocks into ethylene and propylene at high temperature and low pressure, with a propylene-to-ethylene ratio of approximately 4:1. The OCP unit consists of two radial flow reactors, one operating online and the other in standby after regeneration. The reactor regeneration cycle is 48 hours. Switching between online and offline regeneration is accomplished using valves located at the reactor inlet and outlet.

[0004] Sinopec has developed olefin catalytic cracking (OCC) technology, which cracks olefins contained in mixed C4-C6 raw materials into propylene, ethylene, etc. under the action of molecular sieve catalysts. OCC unit

[0005] There are two fixed-bed reactors, one in operation and one in standby. The reaction system operates in a continuous switching mode, and the catalyst regeneration process is controlled by an automatic switching regeneration program.

[0006] Catalytic cracking to produce light olefins is a highly endothermic process. Radial flow reactors and fixed-bed reactors typically use elevated feed temperatures to provide heat. However, excessively high preheat temperatures for feedstock components such as olefins, diolefins, and alkynes can lead to coking, hindering continuous operation. Furthermore, the catalyst gradually loses activity during the reaction, necessitating switching reactors to achieve continuous operation. These heating and deactivation challenges have limited the development and advancement of radial flow and fixed-bed reactor technologies.

[0007] Summary of the Invention

[0008] Light olefins are highly reactive and prone to polymerization, alkylation, aromatization, and other reactions, generating byproducts that reduce light olefin yield. Reaction contact time is a key factor influencing light olefin selectivity in the catalytic cracking of mixed hydrocarbons to produce light olefins. Increasing the superficial linear velocity in the reaction zone of a fluidized bed reactor can reduce reaction contact time and improve light olefin selectivity. However, this typically results in a significant decrease in bed density and catalyst inventory, leading to a decrease in cracking feedstock conversion. Consequently, there is a negative correlation between light olefin selectivity and feedstock conversion.
