Description

Lower paraffin hydrocarbons is converted into the method for aromatic hydrocarbons and ethene
Technical field
The present invention relates to produce from lower paraffin hydrocarbons the integral method of aromatic hydrocarbons and ethene.More particularly, the present invention relates to produce from lower paraffin hydrocarbons the integral method of the low fund of having of benzene and ethene and running cost.
Background technology
Benzene and ethene are two kinds in the most important basic product of modern petrochemical product industry.Benzene is used for making important petroleum chemicals for example vinylbenzene, phenol, nylon and urethane etc.Ethene is for the manufacture of other petroleum chemicals for example polyethylene, ethylene oxide, ethylene dichloride and ethylbenzene etc.
Usually, benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons are by utilizing solvent extration, the feedstock fraction (reformate that for example produces by catforming and the pyrolysis gasoline by the generation of naphtha cracking method) that is rich in aromatic substance are separated obtaining with non-aromatics.Yet, in order to make great efforts to tackle the aromatic hydrocarbons short supply of this expection, after deliberation specially be used for from each molecule contain six or still less the alkane of carbon atom produce many Catalyst And Methods of aromatic hydrocarbons (comprising benzene).The easness that individual alkane changes into aromatic hydrocarbons increases and increases along with carbon number, has therefore considered the mixed alkanes charging.For example, U.S.5,258,564 have described C 2To C 6Aliphatic hydrocrbon changes into the method for aromatic hydrocarbons, described method is included under dehydrogenation cyclodimerisation (deehydrocyclodimerization) condition charging is contacted with catalyzer, and wherein said catalyzer comprises Si: the Al ratio greater than 10 and the aperture be zeolite, gallium component and the phosphate aluminium adhesive of 5-6 dust.
The catalyzer that uses is normally dual functional, and containing zeolite or molecular screen material provides acidity and one or more metals such as Pt, Ga, Zn, Mo etc. that dehydrogenation activity is provided.For example, United States Patent (USP) 4,350,835 have described the crystalline zeolite catalyzer that utilizes the ZSM-5-type family of containing a small amount of Ga, and the gaseous feed that will contain ethane changes into the method for aromatic hydrocarbons.As another example, United States Patent (USP) 7,186,871 have described utilization contains the catalyzer of Pt and ZSM-5 to C 1-C 4The aromizing of alkane.
Ethene usually in high temperature thermally splitting device or catalytic cracking apparatus from ethane and/or more higher hydrocarbon manufacturing.Making alkene by the hydrocarbon pyrolysis is the industrial method of establishing, and it is described in Ludwig Kniel " Ethylene:Keystone to The Petrochemical Industry ", among the Marcel Dekker Publisher (1980).
When ethane adds one or more more the charging of higher hydrocarbon changes into alkene in the cracker device, except ethene, also can produce other alkene.Described alkene comprises propylene, butylene, divinyl, amylene etc., depends on the composition of cracker raw material.Because have the multiple olefin product that must separate to meet with other similar molecules (for example corresponding paraffinic hydrocarbons) under many circumstances product specification, so the product separation scheme of such parallel feeding cracker is tending towards complexity.Net result is that fund expenditure and the running cost of such cracker machinery is higher than the cracker that only produces ethene from main ethane feed far away.
A kind of lower paraffin hydrocarbons dehydroaromatizationof method advantageously is provided, the ethene of (a) generation lower cost is transformed basically as by product and the charging of (b) supplying with the dehydrogenation and aromatization device in the method, thereby has avoided any charging recirculation also thus so that fund and running cost are lower.

Heat and catalytic hydrodealkylation process all are known in the art.Hot dealkylation can be such as U.S.4,806,700 described carrying out, and described document is incorporated this paper into by reference with its full content.In described thermal means, the working temperature of hydrodealkylation can be from approximately 500 to approximately 800 ℃ in the ingress of hydrodealkylation device.Pressure can be from about 2000kPa to about 7000kPa.Can utilize based on the long-pending meter of the available content of reaction vessel, approximately 0.5 to about 5.0 liquid hourly space velocity.
Because the exothermal nature of described reaction often need to be carried out described reaction in two or more stages, cool off or quenching reactant the centre.Therefore can connect and use two or three or more reaction vessel.Cooling can realize by indirect heat exchange or interstage cooling.When using two reaction vessels in the hydrodealkylation district, preferred the first reaction vessel there is no any internal structure, and second container contains enough internal structures, to promote reactant with a part of container of piston flow process.

Light alkene, namely ethene and propylene can produce from lower paraffin hydrocarbons (ethane, propane and butane) by heat or catalytic cracking method.The thermally splitting method can be carried out in the presence of superheated vapour usually, and it is the most frequently used so far commercial implementation method.Steam cracking is a kind of thermally splitting method, and wherein stable hydrocarbon (being ethane, propane, butane or their mixture) is broken down into less unsaturated hydrocarbons, i.e. alkene and hydrogen.
In steam cracking, can dilute gaseous feed with steam, then of short duration heating in stove (not having oxygen).Usually, temperature of reaction can be very high---about 750 to 950 ℃---but only allow reaction that the very short time occurs.In the cracking furnace in modern times, in order to improve the yield of expectation product, residence time even can be reduced to millisecond (causing gas velocity to reach speed above velocity of sound).After reaching the cracking temperature, described gas can by rapidly quenching in transfer line exchanger, stop described reaction.
The product that produces in described reaction depends on ratio and cracking temperature and the residing time in furnace of composition, hydrocarbon and the steam of charging.Described method usually can be under low pressure, operate under about 140 to 500kPa, depends on the overall craft design.
Described method also may cause slowly depositing on reactor wall burnt, and it is a kind of form of carbon.This has reduced the efficient of reactor, therefore designs reaction conditions above-mentioned deposition Jiao is minimized.However, the time of steam cracker furnace between decoking can only be moved the several months usually.Decoking need to make stove break away from from technique, and then steam or Steam/air mixture stream at high temperature passes through the coil pipe of described stove.This is converted into carbon monoxide and carbonic acid gas with hard solid carbon-coating.In case this reaction is finished, described stove can recover to use.
In many commerciality operations, by at low temperatures repeated compression and distillation, ethene is separated from the complex mixture that generates with propylene.In the method for the invention, this can be unnecessary, mainly is comprised of ethane because supply with the charging of cracker.
The fs that alkene produces and purifies in the cracker machinery is: 1) steam cracking in aforesaid stove; 2) carry out first and the secondary heat recuperation with quenching; 3) the dilution steam generation recirculation between stove and quench system; 4) the first compression (stage compression) of reacted gas; 5) remove hydrogen sulfide and carbonic acid gas (acid gas removes); 6) second-compressed (1 or 2 grade); 7) drying of reacted gas; With 8) subzero treatment of dry reacted gas.
Then the cold cracking air-flow is processed in demethanizing tower.The overhead streams of demethanizing tower is comprised of hydrogen and methane, with its subzero treatment with hydrogen and methane separation.This separating step comprises temperature liquid methane approximately-150 ℃ usually.The economical operation of reclaiming fully for described olefin equipment of all methane is crucial.
The tower bottom flow of demethanizing tower is processed in deethanizing column.The overhead streams of deethanizing column comprises C all in the cracking air-flow 2' component.Described C 2Then ' component goes to C 2Separator (splitter).Obtain product ethene from the cat head of described tower, out ethane recycle is to described stove, by cracking again or go to one of aromatization stage from separator bottom.
Come from the tower bottom flow of deethanizing column and can go to depropanizing tower, but in the method for the invention, this can omit.The overhead streams of depropanizing tower comprises C all in the cracking air-flow 3' component.At C 3' component is sent to C 3Before the separator, should flow hydrogenation, to react away methylacetylene and propadiene.Then this stream is sent to C 3Separator.Come from C 3The overhead streams of separator is the product propylene, and comes from C 3The tower bottom flow of separator is propane, and propane can be sent back to and carry out cracking in the described stove or be used as fuel.
Come from the tower bottom flow of depropanizing tower and can go to debutanizing tower, but in the method for the invention, this also can omit.The overhead streams that comes from debutanizing tower is C all in the cracking air-flow 4' component.The tower bottom flow that comes from debutanizing tower comprises C all in the cracking air-flow 5Or heavy component more.It can be called as the lightweight pyrolysis gasoline.
Because the generation of ethene is energy-intensive, many work have been devoted to reclaim heat from the gas that leaves stove.The most of energy that reclaims from reacted gas can be used for making high pressure (approximately 8300kPa) steam.This steam and then can be used for turbine, propylene refrigeration compressor (may be unnecessary in the methods of the invention) and the ethylene refrigeration compressor of drive compression reacted gas.
Described ethene manufacture method also can be implemented in the presence of catalyzer.Advantage is to use much lower temperature and may not have steam.In principle, can realize to alkene than highly selective and may coking less.Although also not commerciality practice in the factory of world scale, the catalytic cracking of ethane is an interested field for a long time always.Being used for the catalyst type of cracking higher hydrocarbon comprises zeolite, clay, aluminosilicate etc.Should be mentioned that this method carried out business practice at several refinerys to high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons, described high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons carries out cracking at zeolite catalyst in the processing unit (plant) that is called FCC (fluid catalytic cracking device).In this method, more generally produce and Propylene recovery as by product, rather than ethene and propylene the two.
One embodiment of the present invention illustrate in the simplification block flow diagram of Fig. 1.In Fig. 1, the stream 10 that is rich in ethane/propane/butane is fed to reactor 12, and described reactor 12 contains suitable catalyzer or catalyst mixture, is used for alkane is converted into benzene.Reactor product stream 14 contains unreacted ethane and thinner (if any), adds hydrogen, methane, a small amount of C 3-C 5Hydrocarbon, benzene,toluene,xylene and heavy arene, and the selectivity of benzene is preferably greater than approximately 20%.This product stream 14 is by suitable separation and extractor 16, and a part of unreacted ethane 18 is fed to ethane cracker 20, is converted at this to be ethene 22.The unreacted ethane 18 of another part is fed to the second aromatization reactor 40, produces aromatic hydrocarbons 42.Randomly (but be not must) utilizes pressure-variable adsorption or membrane process, from the C of tripping device 16 1(methane) stream 24 and/or reclaim H from the similar stream 26 of cracker 20 2, and can be sent to hydro-dealkylation gasifying device as described below.Described aromatic hydrocarbons leaves tripping device 16 by pipeline 17.
For major objective be from contain ethane and the more single mixing raw material 10 of higher hydrocarbon produce the method for ethene and aromatic hydrocarbons, some variations are arranged.In a kind of pattern as shown in Figure 1, only reclaim the benzene that produces in the aromatic hydrocarbons.There is not the hydro-dealkylation gasifying device, common toluene and dimethylbenzene and the C that produces 9+Aromatic hydrocarbons is recovered together.In another kind of pattern, as shown in Figure 2, the two selectivity of toluene and dimethylbenzene is transformed into benzene and methane.Then this extra benzene join in the benzene that produces in main reaction.In another kind of version (not shown), do not attempt separation of benzene, toluene and dimethylbenzene component, their mixture is sent to the hydro-dealkylation gasifying device.
In Fig. 2, benzene also separates with dimethylbenzene with toluene in tripping device 16.Benzene leaves by pipeline 28, and toluene and dimethylbenzene leave and are introduced to hydro-dealkylation gasifying device 32 by pipeline 30 and merges mutually with hydrogen from pipeline 34.Toluene and dimethylbenzene are produced benzene by hydrodealkylation in pipeline 36, then described benzene merge with the benzene of pipeline 28.In addition, C 9+Aromatic hydrocarbons is removed from tripping device 16 by pipeline 38.Aromatic hydrocarbons 42 can be chosen wantonly and be sent to tripping device 16.
