Description

Method for preparing p-xylene by alkylating benzene and methanol
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical reaction engineering, and particularly relates to a method for preparing paraxylene by alkylating benzene and methanol on a fixed bed radial reactor.
Background
Benzene is a chemical product with wide application, mainly comes from catalytic reforming, coal tar and ethylene processes, and with the vigorous development of the oil refining industry and the coal tar industry, the benzene capacity in the market is excessive, and the development of a more valuable utilization way of benzene becomes imperative. In recent years, the methanol production capacity in the domestic market is greatly surplus, and the methanol becomes a relatively cheap chemical raw material. Therefore, the mixed xylene produced by alkylating benzene and methanol can be used as a raw material for increasing the yield of p-xylene in an aromatic hydrocarbon combination plant, and has strong social and economic benefits.
The benzene and methanol alkylation reaction refers to a process of adding one or two methyl groups on a benzene ring to generate toluene and xylene by using methanol as an alkylating agent. The reaction follows a carbonium ion reaction mechanism, methanol is firstly activated in a molecular sieve catalyst acid center to form methyl carbonium ions, and then electrophilic substitution reaction is carried out on the methyl carbonium ions and benzene rings to generate toluene, electrophilic substitution reaction is carried out on the methyl carbonium ions and the toluene to generate xylene, a small amount of ethylbenzene and carbon nonaromatic hydrocarbon are generated, and waste water is generated as a byproduct. Due to the presence of methanol, side reactions during alkylation are mainly due to etherification, carbonylation, etc. of methanol.
The alkylation reaction process of benzene or toluene and methanol adopts fixed bed axial reactor process. US4377718 and US4761513 disclose a fixed bed process for the alkylation of toluene, in which the alkylating agent is added in portions at different locations between the fixed beds in order to increase the yield. Using these fixed bed processes during production, the catalyst can be packed separately in distinct and discrete zones. During the reaction, the reaction product from one zone is mixed with additional alkylating reagent and then enters the next zone for alkylation. However, the reaction products from the previous zone inevitably pass through the high temperature catalyst bed again using this process, exacerbating the potential for catalyst fouling and reducing the catalyst treatment efficiency.
Patent CN1326430A discloses a fluidized bed aromatic alkylation process in which an aromatic hydrocarbon is introduced at a first location in a fluidized bed reaction zone and an alkylating agent is introduced into the fluidized bed reaction zone at one or more locations downstream of the first location, which process results in high toluene conversion and high methyl utilization. But the fluidized bed process increases the abrasion of the catalyst and the energy consumption, and has higher requirements on the preparation of the catalyst.
Patent CN102372588A discloses a moving bed method for preparing paraxylene by alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons, which adopts a moving bed reactor to carry out alkylation reaction, wherein the catalyst to be regenerated coming out from the bottom of the moving bed enters a catalyst regenerator, and the regenerated catalyst returns to the moving bed reactor for recycling. The method requires large investment in design and construction of part of the reactor, and is not easy to run stably in the production operation process.
The fixed bed radial reactor has short process fluid flowing distance, large flow passage sectional area and small fluid pressure drop, is an effective method for solving the problem of insufficient catalyst treatment capacity, and is not applied to the field of preparing mixed aromatic hydrocarbon by alkylating benzene and methanol at present.
The invention relates to a method for preparing mixed aromatic hydrocarbon by alkylating benzene or toluene and methanol on a radial reactor of a fixed bed, which adopts a unique process that reaction products directly enter a rectifying tower after heat exchange in a separation part to separate tail gas, benzene and reaction water tower top components and mixed aromatic hydrocarbon tower kettle components rich in toluene, xylene and the like, and benzene and part of reaction water are obtained after separation and are circulated back to a reaction system.
