The invention provides a catalytic
cracking method for highly producing
ethylene and propylene from hydrocarbons, which comprises the following steps: (1) introducing preheated raw materials and
water vapor from the lower part of a reactor, contacting with a catalyst and reacting to obtain a reaction oil agent; the reactor at least comprises two reaction zones, namely a first
reaction zone and a second
reaction zone from bottom to top, the average
solid content of a catalyst in the first
reaction zone is greater than 0.2, and the average
solid content of a catalyst in the second reaction zone is less than 0.1; (2) carrying out gas-
solid separation on the reaction oil agent to obtain a
carbon deposit catalyst and oil gas; and separating the oil gas to obtain a product comprising
ethylene and propylene. In the initial stage of the reaction, a dense-
phase reaction zone is adopted to increase the contact between
hydrocarbon molecules and the
active center of the catalyst, so that the proportion of catalytic
cracking reaction is remarkably increased, and the thermal
cracking reaction degree is reduced; a dilute
phase reaction zone is adopted at the reaction
tail end, reconversion of generated
ethylene and propylene is reduced,
hydrogen transfer reaction and
condensation reaction are reduced, and the
yield ratio of
diene / (
methane +
coke) is greatly increased.
