Description

Be used to produce the method for p-Xylol
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used to produce the method for p-Xylol.Particularly about passing through benzene (Ben), toluene (Tol) and carbon nine and above aromatic hydrocarbons (C thereof 9 +A) aromatic hydrocarbons transalkylation reaction generates C8 aronmatic (C 8A) back obtains the method for p-Xylol.
Background technology
P-Xylol is one of main basic organic of petrochemical industry, in numerous chemical production field such as chemical fibre, synthetic resins, agricultural chemicals, medicine, plastics purposes is widely arranged.Typical p-Xylol (pX) production method is that the dimethylbenzene that contains ethylbenzene of the thermodynamic(al)equilibrium that generates from the petroleum naphtha catalytic reforming is to separate or molecular sieve simulated moving bed adsorption separation (abbreviation fractionation by adsorption) technology by multistage cryogenic crystallization the C8 aronmatic, and p-Xylol is separated from the close with it isomer mixture of boiling point.And, often take C for the processing of the dimethylbenzene of an ortho position and a position 8A isomerization (abbreviation isomerization) technology makes it isomery and turns to p-Xylol.In order to increase production p-Xylol, utilize toluene disproportionation or toluene and carbon nine and above aromatic hydrocarbons (C thereof 9 +A) disproportionation and transalkylation reaction generate benzene and C 8A, thereby volume increase C 8A is the operational path that effectively increases production p-Xylol.
Up to now, in the world more typically, also the technology relevant with toluene disproportionation of comparative maturity has sixties Mo industrialized Tatoray tradition toluene disproportionation process, the MTDP of late nineteen eighties release and S-TDT technology and the TransPlus technology of releasing in recent years.
The reactor feed of typical Tatoray technology is with toluene and C9 aromatic (C 9A) be reaction raw materials, C 10 +The content of hydrocarbon (carbon ten and above hydrocarbon thereof) must strict control.In order to improve the economic benefit of device, cut down the consumption of energy and material consumption, people have carried out further research and optimization to Tatoray technology, mainly be devoted to its core technology---Study of Catalyst, improve the indicators of overall performance of catalyzer, as improving the molecular-weight average of weight space velocity, prolongation catalyst operation and increase aromatic hydrocarbons reaction raw materials.The raising of molecular-weight average helps increasing C 8A, but when the heavy aromatics too high levels, in order to keep certain transformation efficiency, promptly keep catalyst activity must cause the especially aggravation of hydro-dealkylation reaction of side reaction, thereby makes in the reaction product benzaldehyde product on the high side, causes product C 8A/Ben is on the low side, and the aromatic hydrocarbons loss is bigger, handles equal raw material, the C that obtains 8A is on the low side, the Ben amount is on the high side.
Document based on Tatoray technology has USP4341914, Chinese patent 98110859.8, USP2795629, USP3551510, Chinese patent 97106719.8 etc.In US4341914 technology, though with the portion C in the reaction product 10A is with circulation C 9A returns reaction zone (logistics 18), the C that has partly utilized reaction itself to generate 10A comes to generate in the inhibited reaction process more substantial C 10 +Hydrocarbon, still, raw material C 8 +C among the A 10 +Hydrocarbon but can't obtain utilizing, and C 8 +Portion C in the A raw material 9A is with C 10 +Hydrocarbon is discharged out-of-bounds (logistics 19) at heavy aromatics Tata still.Because the restriction of catalyst performance, this technology also has exacting terms in the selection of raw material, require heavy aromatics tower (tower 2) cat head effluent---C 9Indane (IND) content in the A logistics (logistics 7) must be lower than below 1%, thereby has caused aforesaid C 9The loss of A and the C that just partly utilizes reaction self to generate 10A, and raw material C 8 +C among the A 10 +Hydrocarbon but can't obtain utilizing.
In the technical process of Chinese patent 98110859.8,, have high indane content, high C in the raw material of permission though this technology has overcome many drawbacks of above-mentioned patent 10 +Advantages such as hydrocarbon content, but still a large amount of benzene of by-product.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is carbon ten and the low problem of above heavy aromatics content thereof in a large amount of benzene of by-product, the raw material when exist producing p-Xylol in the conventional art, and a kind of new method that is used to produce p-Xylol is provided.This method has that separation process is simple, and plant energy consumption is low, can significantly increase production the characteristics of p-Xylol throughput.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the technical solution used in the present invention is as follows: a kind of method that is used to produce p-Xylol may further comprise the steps:
A) benzene that out-of-bounds comes, toluene and C 9A and above aromatic hydrocarbons thereof enter the alkyl transfering process unit that contains the molybdenum molecular sieve catalyst, carry out the aromatic hydrocarbons transalkylation reaction under hydro condition, and the reaction back generates to contain mixes the dimethylbenzene logistics;
B) the mixing dimethylbenzene logistics that contains that reaction generates goes the fractionation by adsorption isomerization unit to produce p-Xylol, unreacted benzene, toluene and C 9A and above aromatic hydrocarbons thereof are circulated in the alkyl transfering process unit feed;
Wherein said fractionation by adsorption isomerization unit comprises the benzenol hydrorefining and the deheptanizer of separating mixed dimethyl logistics.
Molecular sieve preferred version in the technique scheme in the employed molecular sieve catalyst is selected from mordenite, β zeolite or omega zeolite; The unitary operational condition of alkyl transfering process: reaction pressure is 1~4MPa, and temperature of reaction is 300~480 ℃, and hydrogen/hydrocarbon mol ratio is 0.5~10, and weight space velocity is 0.8~8 hour -1In the separation process of xylol logistics, the isolating C of deheptanizer cat head 7And following hydrocarbon is circulated in the alkyl transfering process unit feed tower still C 8And above aromatic hydrocarbons enters benzenol hydrorefining.The benzenol hydrorefining of separating mixed dimethyl logistics, its cat head extraction C8 aronmatic logistics, carbon nine and C10 aromartic logistics are rich in the line extraction of tower bottom side, extraction of tower still or not extraction carbon 11 and above hydrocarbon (C thereof 11 +Hydrocarbon).
Dimethylbenzene Tata still produced quantity described in the such scheme is means of control technique unit raw material molecular-weight average of the present invention.In the normal running, not extraction of tower still C 11 +Hydrocarbon is to increase production more pX (p-Xylol); Have only when catalyzer be in the latter stage in operational cycle and be difficult to synchronous situation of factory's turnaround under, can be by the extraction portion C 11 +Hydrocarbon reducing the raw material molecular-weight average of this technique unit, thereby reduces the severity of reaction, makes this unitary operation not influence the turnaround plans of factory.
As can be seen, such operational path makes the aromatic hydrocarbons of carbon more than six all be transformed into the Mixed XYLENE of high added value, has simplified separation process effectively, has fully reduced the energy consumption material consumption of aromatic device.
Principal reaction involved in the technology of the present invention comprises:
In technology of the present invention, the aromatic hydrocarbons transalkylation reaction is different with traditional transalkylation notion, and it is with benzene, toluene and carbon nine and above aromatic hydrocarbons (C thereof 9 +A) be raw material, reaction generates C 8A.Because benzene and heavy aromatics be also as producing the raw material of Mixed XYLENE, thereby under the constant situation of reformation scale, just can improve the throughput of p-Xylol significantly.Therefore in the inventive method with benzene, toluene and C 9 +A is that raw material is produced p-Xylol, because in the technology of the present invention, benzene and C 10And above aromatic hydrocarbons need not be separated from reaction effluent, thereby simplified separation process significantly, can save the necessary stripping tower of typical Tatoray technology separating reaction effluent, benzene tower and heavy aromatics tower, only need to make toluene tower into deheptanizer, and the reservation benzenol hydrorefining gets final product.Five original tower separation systems are simplified to two tower separation systems, therefore, have reduced the energy consumption of device significantly, reduced production cost effectively.Simultaneously because benzene and all C 10And above heavy aromatics can be used as reaction raw materials, for Aromatic Hydrocarbon United Plant, under the constant situation of rearrangement capability, just can increase production p-Xylol throughput significantly, obtained better technical effect.
