Description

Hydrocarbon composition, and preparation method and application thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of petroleum chemical industry, and particularly relates to a hydrocarbon composition, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Base oils with high viscosity and high viscosity index are used to adjust the high temperature viscosity of lubricating oil products, and are widely used in the fields of industrial oils and heavy duty internal combustion engine oils, such as heavy load gears, hydraulic machines, heavy load elevators and ship engine, etc. The existing paraffin-based and naphthenic-based base oils have significant technical bottlenecks in realizing the synergistic optimization of high viscosity, high viscosity index and low pour point, and are limited by traditional refining processes and increasingly scarce suitable raw material resources.

[0003] Aromatic hydrocarbon-based high viscosity special oil exhibits excellent dissolving performance and heat conduction characteristics due to its unique molecular structure, and expands the source of raw oil, and is expected to replace traditional paraffin-based and naphthenic-based base oils for use in the field of special oil lubrication requiring high performance. However, the viscosity index of the aromatic hydrocarbon-based oil itself is relatively low, and based on the “seesaw” effect, the improvement of a single performance index often comes at the expense of other key performance, which makes it an unsolved problem in the industry to develop aromatic hydrocarbon-based high viscosity special oil with high viscosity (100℃ kinematic viscosity≥22mm 2 / s), high viscosity index (VI≥95) and low pour point (pour point≤-20℃). Other typical alternative synthetic base oils, such as PAO base oil, although have high viscosity index and low pour point, have low viscosity, and are mainly used in low viscosity lubricating oil application scenarios, such as engine oil, etc., and due to the lack of aromatic hydrocarbon structure, have low compatibility with additives.

[0004] In recent years, although the hydrogen treatment and hydroisomerization dewaxing technology has made breakthroughs in improving the performance of paraffin-based and naphthenic-based base oils, it has the defect of significant decrease in aromatic carbon retention when applied to aromatic hydrocarbon systems, which makes it lose the unique polarity and dissolving properties of aromatic oil. In addition, although deep hydrogen treatment can improve the viscosity index and oxidation stability, it will significantly reduce the kinematic viscosity (100℃ kinematic viscosity is usually lower than 22mm 2 / s), which is difficult to meet the demand of heavy load equipment for high viscosity lubrication.

[0005] With the increasing demand for ultra-low temperature lubricating materials in the fields of polar exploration, aerospace, etc., it is particularly urgent to develop high viscosity special oil that can have sufficient viscosity and dissolving performance at high temperature working conditions, and also maintain flowability at-20℃ or below extreme environment. The existing base oil system has been difficult to meet the comprehensive requirements of new generation lubricating technology for multi-dimensional performance, and it is urgent to realize technical breakthroughs through component structure design and process innovation.

[0016] wherein the carbon number distribution of the olefins in the olefin oil is C8-C18; and the olefin content in the olefin oil is ≥ 50 wt%.

[0019] In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a blended oil composition comprising the hydrocarbon composition according to the first aspect or prepared by the method according to the second aspect as a high viscosity base oil.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, preferably, the feeding mode of the aromatic oil, the olefin oil, and the catalyst is continuous feeding according to the mass ratio.

[0075] In the present application, the catalyst can be various catalysts commonly used in the art for the reaction of the aromatic oil and the olefin oil, preferably, the catalyst is selected from liquid acids and / or organic acids containing metal halides.

[0076] In the present application, the kind of the liquid acid is not particularly limited, and any liquid acid known in the art can be used in the present application.

[0080] In the present application, in step (1), the aromatic hydrocarbon oil, the olefin oil and the catalyst are continuously fed according to the mass ratio, so that the aromatic hydrocarbon oil and the olefin oil are reacted in the presence of the catalyst to obtain a reaction product in the form of an oil phase containing the catalyst. The reaction product is subjected to settling separation to obtain an upper oil phase and a lower catalyst phase. The aromatic hydrocarbon oil, the olefin oil and the catalyst in the present application are contacted and reacted in a synthesis reactor.

[0081] The inventors have found that the degree of alkylation reaction needs to be controlled by optimizing the reaction conditions, so as to obtain a hydrocarbon composition with a desired component structure. For example, if the reaction conditions result in too fast alkylation reaction rate, the product NP / IP will increase, the isomerization degree of the alkyl side chain will decrease, and the pour point of the obtained hydrocarbon composition will rise, which cannot meet the use requirements under extremely low temperature conditions.

[0082] In the present application, the reaction product containing catalyst obtained from the reaction is introduced into a settling separation device for settling separation. The settling separation device can be a conventional settling separation device used in the art, and preferably, the settling separation device is provided with a plurality of settling separation tanks, which are advantageous for separating the upper oil phase and the lower catalyst phase by using the gravity to make the catalyst phase settle from the reaction product containing catalyst.

In the present application, the aromatic oil and the olefin oil have a relatively fast reaction speed, and the obtained reaction product needs to be introduced into different settling separation tanks in the order of synthesis for settling separation. Specifically, when the reaction product in the settling separation tank reaches 2 / 3 of the volume of the settling separation tank, the feeding is stopped, and the subsequent reaction product is introduced into the next settling separation tank for settling according to this method.

Preferably, the time of the reaction product in each settling separation tank is 5-120 min, and more preferably 30-60 min, relative to a 20 L settling separation tank.

[0090] In the present application, preferably, the specific method of clay refining includes contacting the vacuum residue fraction with a clay adsorbent to perform clay refining, and separating to obtain a hydrocarbon composition and a waste adsorbent.

[0091] In the present application, the contacting of the vacuum residue with the clay adsorbent can be carried out in a vacuum residue refining device, and the refining is carried out under clay refining conditions to remove part of the by-products, so as to avoid the influence of the residual by-products on the product properties. After the oil and the adsorbent are separated, a hydrocarbon composition is obtained.

[0092] In the present application, the clay adsorbent is preferably high-quality bentonite with a montmorillonite content of greater than 85% by weight, and more preferably activated clay.

[0093] In the present application, the amount of clay added has a relatively wide selection range, and preferably, the amount of clay added is 1-10% by weight, preferably 2-5% by weight, based on the total weight of the vacuum residue fraction.
