The invention discloses a method by catalyzing and hydrogenating animal and
vegetable oil to produce high-quality diesel. Animal and
vegetable oil is subjected to
hydrodeoxygenation and olefin saturation reaction with the existence of
hydrogen and catalyst, gas and generated water are separated from effluents of
hydrogenation reaction, gas, diesel fraction and incompletely-converted fraction are obtained by distilling the liquid, the incompletely-converted fraction is circulated back to a hydrogenation treatment reactor, the diesel fraction enters a hydrogenation modified reactor after being mixed with an optional modified
raw material to be subjected to the modified reaction with the existence of
hydrogen and modified catalyst, and gas products,
naphtha and diesel fraction are obtained through the separation and distilling. Compared with the prior art, the
hydrogenation reaction, hydrogenation modified reaction and / or
pour point depression reaction of the animal and
vegetable oil can be carried out under a relatively tempered technique condition, and the method has the advantages such as wide range of raw materials, high quality of products, high yield of diesel and fewer byproducts.
