At present, the requirements of various countries in the world on gasoline indexes are more and more strict, the production process of high-quality gasoline becomes the focus of attention at present, and the alkylation process is a conventional and mature method for producing high-quality gasoline blending components, namely alkylate. The alkylation reaction is a reaction of isobutane and C3-C5 olefin under the action of an acid catalyst to generate gasoline components with high octane number, and the reaction product has the characteristics of low sulfur, no aromatic hydrocarbon or olefin and the like.
The micro-channel reactor has extremely large specific surface area due to the microstructure of the filler in the reaction bed layer inside the micro-channel reactor, and the specific surface area of the micro-channel reactor can reach hundreds of times or even thousands of times of that of a stirring kettle. And the microchannel reactor has excellent heat transfer and mass transfer capacity, the mass transfer efficiency is 10 to 100 times of that of the kettle type reaction kettle, the mixing efficiency of reactants can be greatly improved, the instant uniform mixing and efficient heat transfer of materials can be realized, and the stable state can be quickly reached. Compared with the traditional method, the method reduces the reaction time and material consumption. Is favorable for the stable control of the strong exothermic reaction.
CN 1953804 a discloses an alkylation process and system with staged addition of olefins in microchannels. By utilizing the good heat and mass transfer of the microchannel, higher temperature control is obtained. The temperature is accurately controlled by means of microchannel reaction technology to minimize oligomerization, and the introduction of the staged olefin reduces the local olefin concentration, increases the phase interface area of the acid hydrocarbon dispersion, more accurately adjusts the temperature, increases the octane number of the alkylate product, and improves the quality of the alkylate compared with the conventional process.
However, in the above patent, the paraffin material flow is fed in a large amount, which causes poor initial distribution, the micro-channel itself has a small radial diffusion coefficient, and it is difficult to achieve natural flow distribution only by means of the micro-channel, which results in a sharp decrease in reaction efficiency, and easily causes excessive local temperature, and the reaction area generates temperature difference, so that the alkylation rate is unbalanced. Moreover, the device is filled with hydrogen, so that the separation difficulty and the operation danger are increased.
Therefore, how to upgrade a microchannel reactor, a microchannel and an alkylation process are invented to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, which is a technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.
