Description

Method for improving quality of heavy oil and yield of light oil
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for improving the quality of heavy oil and the yield of light oil and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of energy.
Background
Heavy oil has the characteristics of high viscosity, difficult volatilization and the like, so that the problems of low catalyst activity, easy inactivation and the like caused by easy system blockage or catalyst surface covering exist in the processing and utilization process. Pyrolysis is one of important ways for realizing graded conversion, cleaning and efficient utilization of coal, and can obtain high-calorific-value semicoke and coal tar rich in various chemicals besides clean coal gas. However, one of the major problems with the low temperature pyrolysis process is that the heavy components (boiling point greater than 360 ℃) of the tar are produced in high content, typically accounting for more than 50% of the tar composition, and these heavy components cause a series of problems in downstream equipment and operations. Such as condensation at the tube walls and filters, resulting in plugging, fouling and corrosion of the tubing or equipment; the mixture of the pyrolysis dust and the gas-liquid separation unit is blocked and the oil-dust separation is difficult, the long-term operation stability of the system is affected, and the industrial application of the pyrolysis technology is hindered. In order to realize the lightening of tar, researchers use Ni or carbon materials as catalysts to carry out tar catalytic cracking in an inert atmosphere, so that the content of the light tar is increased, but the total yield of the tar is obviously reduced while the tar is lightened, and the yield of the light tar is not obviously increased or is only increased. Chinese patent CN103773425A discloses a method for processing heavy oil, which discloses that heavy oil participates in a contact cracking reaction unit, takes inferior heavy oil as a raw material, utilizes nickel metal deposited on a contact agent in the inferior heavy oil and CO generated by gasifying the inferior heavy oil and then entering a conversion unit2Catalytically reacting the gas with a methane-rich gas in a dry reforming unit with a Ni-containing regenerated contact agent to form CO and H2However, this method is carried out with CO and H2The mixed gas is used as atmosphere to carry out heavy oil cracking; the active substance generated by methane can not be directly coupled with the radical formed by heavy oil cracking in situ, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the yield of light oil products and the total yield of tar. Therefore, there is a need in the art for an efficient and simple method for improving heavy oil quality and light oil yield.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the existing problems, the invention provides a method for improving the quality of heavy oil and the yield of light oil (quality improvement for short) by utilizing the characteristic that a Ni-based catalyst can simultaneously catalyze the cracking of heavy oil and the catalytic reforming of methane. In the quality-improving reaction device, the methane catalytic reforming and the heavy oil catalytic cracking are coupled in situ on the Ni-based catalyst, so that the aims of improving the content and the yield of the light oil product are fulfilled.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: methane-rich gas for catalytic reforming of methane and oil products rich in heavy oil components enter from the inlet of a reaction device, coupling upgrading is carried out on a Ni-based catalyst with Ni content of 0.1-30 wt.% at the temperature of 400-900 ℃, and the upgraded oil products are cooled by a cold trap and then collected. The content of light components (the boiling point is less than 360 ℃) in the oil product is obtained after simulated distillation analysis.
Further, the heavy oil upgrading reaction device is one of a fixed bed, a fluidized bed, an entrained flow bed or a moving bed.
The reaction temperature is 500-750 ℃.
The catalytic reforming of methane according to the invention comprises carbon dioxide reforming of methane, steam reforming of methane or partial oxidation of methane.
Further, the heavy oil is one or more of coal in-situ pyrolysis tar, coal tar or atmospheric residue.
Further, the Ni content in the Ni-based catalyst is 1-20 wt.%.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the characteristics that the Ni-based catalyst can catalyze methane reforming and heavy oil cracking at the same time are utilized, and the hydrogen-rich active free radicals generated in the methane reforming process are utilized to stabilize the free radicals generated in the heavy oil catalytic cracking process, so that the content of the light oil product and the yield of the light oil product are improved. The method solves the problems of obvious reduction of the total oil yield and limited improvement of the light oil yield caused by the improvement of the H/C atomic ratio under the condition of no external hydrogen in the traditional heavy oil lightening process, has important significance for solving the industrial application of system blockage caused by heavy oil, improvement of the oil quality and the like at present, and provides a new way for the comprehensive utilization of methane.

Detailed Description
The present process is further illustrated by the following various specific examples, which are not intended to limit the invention, but rather the invention is more fully understood by those of ordinary skill in the art without limiting in any way.
The test methods described in the following examples are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified; the reagents and materials are commercially available, unless otherwise specified.
FIG. 1 shows a method for improving heavy oil quality and light oil yield, which comprises the steps of entering and mixing methane-rich gas for methane catalytic reforming and oil products rich in heavy oil components from the inlet of a reaction device, carrying out coupling upgrading on a Ni-based catalyst with Ni content of 0.1-30 wt.% at 900 ℃ under 400-. The light oil content in the oil product is obtained after simulated distillation analysis.
In the preferred embodiment of the method, the oil product rich in heavy oil components is unchanneled coal pyrolysis tar, the in-situ generation and upgrading process is carried out in a stainless steel tube fixed bed reactor (figure 2) with the inner diameter of 14mm and the length of 290mm, the reactor is of a vertical two-layer structure, coal, quartz wool, a Ni-based catalyst and quartz wool are sequentially placed from top to bottom, a gas inlet is formed in the top of the reactor, and an outlet is formed in the bottom of the reactor.
The pyrolysis oil yield and light oil yield (dry ashless basis) were calculated as follows:

Example 1
300mL/min methane-rich gas (CH) for catalytic reforming of methane4:120mL/min、CO2:120mL/min、N2: 60mL/min) from the upper section of the reactor, mixing with 5g of tar pyrolyzed in situ from non-ditch coal at 650 ℃, and adding Ni/Al with Ni content of 10 wt%2O3And carrying out coupling upgrading on the catalyst. The upgraded oil is cooled by a cold trap at the temperature of-20 ℃ and then collected. Wherein, Ni/Al2O3The catalyst dosage is 1g, the reaction temperature is 650 ℃, and the reaction time is 40 min. FIG. 3 is a comparison of oil yield, light oil content and yield for example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 3. It can be found that the light oil content and yield are higher than those of the comparative example by adopting the methane carbon dioxide catalytic reforming and heavy oil catalytic cracking coupled upgrading method. The light oil content is increased from 55 wt.% to 76 wt.% after coupling upgrading; the yield of light oil is improved from 6.6 wt.% to 7.4 wt.%, and is improved by 12%. This difference is mainly due to the Ni/Al ratio in the methane-rich atmosphere2O3The catalyst not only can catalyze the cracking of heavy oil, but also can catalyze the reforming reaction of methane and carbon dioxide, and active hydrogen-rich radicals generated by the reforming reaction of methane can be combined with radicals generated by the cracking of heavy oil, so that more radicals generated by the heavy oil can be stabilized to form light oil instead of gas. Therefore, the light oil content and the yield in the upgrading process of coupling methane catalytic reforming and heavy oil catalytic cracking are obviously improved.
Example 2
The difference between this example and example 1 is: Ni/Al2O3The Ni content in the catalyst was 5 wt.%. The oil yield, light oil content and yield before and after the catalyst conversion to light weight are shown in FIG. 4. Compared with comparative examples 1-3, the light oil content and yield are further improved, wherein the light oil content can reach 81%. The light oil yield is 8.3%, and is relatively improved by 26%.
Example 3
The difference between this example and example 2 is: the carrier of the Ni-based catalyst is made of coal-based active carbon instead of Al2O3Ni loading of 5 wt.%, reaction atmosphere of 300mL/min methane-rich gas (CH)4:120mL/min、CO2:120mL/min、N2: 60 mL/min). As can be seen from fig. 5, the Ni-based catalyst supported on activated carbon also significantly improved the light oil content and yield, and the oil yield was not significantly reduced as compared to comparative example 3. Compared with comparative examples 1 to 3, the light oil content was as high as 97%. The light oil yield is 9.8%, and is improved by nearly 50%.
Example 4
The difference between this example and example 3 is: the methane-rich gas is (CH)4: 120mL/min, water vapor: 120mL/min, N2: 60mL/min), 5% Ni/activated carbon as catalyst. As shown in fig. 6, it was found that the light oil content and yield can be also significantly improved by combining steam reforming of methane with in situ catalytic cracking of heavy component-rich tar. The light oil content at 650 ℃ was 91%, the light oil yield was 9.3%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the process for increasing the light oil content and yield.
Comparative example 1
300mL/min N2Entering from the upper section of the reactor, mixing with 5g of tar pyrolyzed in situ without ditch coal, escaping from the outlet of the reactor under the action of no catalyst, cooling by a cold trap at the temperature of minus 20 ℃ and collecting. Wherein, the in-situ pyrolysis temperature of the unjoined ditch coal is 650 ℃ and the time is 40 min. The heavy oil content in the oil was 45%.
Comparative example 2
The differences from comparative example 1 are: 300mL/min methane-rich gas (CH) for catalytic reforming of methane4:120mL/min、CO2:120mL/min、N2: 60mL/min) instead of N2. As can be seen from fig. 2, when there is no Ni-based catalyst, since the methane-rich gas cannot undergo the reforming reaction, the oil yield, light oil content and yield are similar to those under a nitrogen atmosphere, and weight reduction is not achieved.
Comparative example 3
The differences from comparative example 1 are: 300mL/min N2Entering from the upper section of the reactor, mixing with 5g of tar pyrolyzed in situ without ditch coal at 650 ℃, and then adding 10 wt.% of Ni/Al2O3Quality-improving reaction is carried out under the action of the catalyst, and the quality-improved product escapes from an outlet and is collected after being cooled by a cold trap at the temperature of minus 20 ℃. Wherein the dosage of the catalyst is 1g, the reaction temperature is 650 ℃, and the reaction time is 40 min.
The results in FIG. 3 show that, in the nitrogen atmosphere, the yield of oil products is significantly reduced (23%) after the in-situ catalytic cracking of the direct pyrolysis tar without the waste coal by the Ni-based catalyst, and although the light oil content is increased from 55% to 69%, the light oil yield is slightly reduced.
The above description is only for the purpose of creating a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can substitute or change the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope of the present invention.
