Abstract

This invention is a method of oxidizing organosulfur impurites found in fuel streams. The method comprises reacting the organosulfur impurities with an organic hydroperoxide in the presence of a titanium-containing catalyst. The titanium-containing catalyst is obtained by impregnating a siliceous solid with a titanium halide in a hydrocarbon solvent, or a vapor stream of titanium tetrachloride, followed by calcination. The resulting sulfones are more readily removed from the fuel stream than the non-oxidized organosulfur impurities.

Description

The organic sulfide oxidation style
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method that is used for the contained organosulfur impurities oxidation of fuel stream.Described method comprises that organosulfur impurities reacts with organic hydroperoxide in the presence of titanium-containing catalyst.Described titanium-containing catalyst makes with following step: be used in the varsol halogenated titanium or with the vapour stream of titanium tetrachloride dipping silicon-containing solid, carry out roasting subsequently.Described catalyzer is effective especially when the contained sulfur-containing impurities oxidation of fuel.
Background technology
The hydrocarbon fraction that petroleum industry is produced is polluted by various sulfur-containing impurities usually.These hydrocarbon fractions comprise diesel oil fuel and gasoline, comprising natural gasoline, straight-run spirit and pressure gasoline.The hydrocarbon fraction of other sulfur-bearings comprises common gaseous petroleum fraction and petroleum naphtha, kerosene, rocket engine fuel, fuel wet goods.The existence of sulfocompound is undesirable, because they cause serious pollution problem.The hydrocarbon fuel that contains these impurity can discharge deleterious and mordant oxysulfide.
Federal legislation specifically is that the amendment of Clean Air sct in 1964 and 1990 and 1999 proposes more and more stricter requirement to the sulphur quantity that minimizing is discharged in the atmosphere.EPA drops to 15ppmw with the sulphur emissions standard of diesel oil from the 500ppmw of existing standard, and mid-term in 2006 came into force.For blended gasoline, the 300ppmw of existing standard has dropped to 30ppmw, and on January 1st, 2004 came into force.
Because these regulations have demand to more effective sulfur method all the time.In this specialty, the various sulfur methods that contain the hydrocarbon fraction of organic sulfide impurity are that everybody is familiar with.The most frequently used method of desulfurization of fuels is hydrogenating desulfurization, fuel and hydrogen reaction in the presence of expensive catalyst under intensification and high pressure in this method.For example, US 5985136 discloses a kind of hydrodesulfurizationprocess process that reduces sulphur content in the naphtha feed.By this reaction, organic sulfide is reduced into H 2S gas is oxidized to elementary sulfur by Kraus process then.Regrettably, the unreacted H that obtains of described method 2S is deleterious, even under the situation of small number very.Though hydrogenating desulfurization is easy to make mercaptan, thioether and disulfide to transform, other organosulfur compounds for example replace is difficult to remove with unsubstituted thiophene, thionaphthene and dibenzothiophene and reaction conditions that needs are harsher.
Because these problems relevant, so continue other sulfur methods are studied with hydrogenating desulfurization.For example, US 6402939 disclose use hydroperoxide particularly hydrogen peroxide make the ultrasonic oxidation of sulfur-containing impurities in the fossil oil.These sulfur-containing impurities through oxidation are isolated from fossil oil than unoxidized impurity is easier.Other method relates to the desulfurization of hydrocarbon materials, and cut is at first handled by the method with the hydro carbons of oxygenant oxidation sulfur-bearing in the presence of catalyzer there.For example US 3816301 disclose a kind of by in the presence of some catalyzer with organic hydroperoxide for example tert-butyl hydroperoxide oxidation at least a portion sulfur-containing impurities reduce the method for the sulphur content of sulfur-bearing hydro carbons.Described catalyzer is preferably the catalyzer that contains molybdenum.
In a word, the novel method that needs sulfur compound impurities in the oxidizing hydrocarbons cut.Particularly need the efficient oxidation to be difficult to the method for the thiophene impurities of oxidation.We have found a kind of effective ways that are used for the contained organosulfur impurity of oxygenated fuel logistics.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is a kind of method that contained organosulfur impurities in the fuel stream is oxidized to the sulfone class.Described method is included under organic hydroperoxide and the titanium-containing catalyst existence and makes the organosulfur impurities oxidation.Titanium-containing catalyst makes with such method, and described method comprises: (a) with titanium source dipping inorganic siliceous solid; (b) roasting is chosen heatable catalyst in the presence of water wantonly through the solid of dipping with (c).The titanium source can be the solution of halogenated titanium in non-oxide varsol, or is the vapour stream of titanium tetrachloride.Optional is that the Preparation of catalysts method also comprises the additional step of handling catalyzer with the silylation agent.Described catalyzer is effective especially when the contained sulfur-containing impurities of oxygenated fuel.The sulfone class can be extracted from fuel stream then, make purified fuel stream.
