The renovation process of hydrocarbon conversion catalyst
The present invention relates to a kind of renovation process of hydrocarbon conversion catalyst, especially face the regeneration of H-H reaction catalyzer.This catalyzer contains a kind of carrier, the halogen of at least a catalytically-active metals and certain content, and the particle diameter of catalyzer is at 0.5-5.0mm.
The regeneration of this class hydrocarbon conversion catalyst generally needs following three steps:
(1) uses carbon deposit than the gas burning-off catalyst surface of low oxygen content.
(2) with the gas adding halide-containing of high oxygen content catalyzer is handled, with the halogen on the make-up catalyst.
(3) with the gas of high oxygen content catalyzer is calcined.
Generally realize above step with two kinds of methods on the engineering: a kind of method is to place fixed bed successively to cross bed with three kinds of required different air communication of above-mentioned three steps respectively catalyzer; Second method is that catalyzer is placed moving-bed, makes it to pass through successively three different zones, and these three zones are from top to bottom respectively by three kinds of required different air-flows of above-mentioned three steps.Second kind of catalyst regeneration process wherein, because the catalyzer Intake Quantity is few, regeneration efficiency height, but advantages such as implement device long-term operation, and be widely used industrial, belong to second method exactly as US4578370 and CN1045411A.
US4578370 adopts the movable bed catalyst renovation process, in this method, reclaim equiment comprises one section radially moving-bed of catalyst scorch region, chlorine oxidation zone and calcining zone, after reclaimable catalyst separates through separator tank, regenerate by above-mentioned three districts in turn, in regenerative process, adopt the higher combustion gases of a part of temperature as hot gas flow, remaining combustion gases loops back scorch region after overcooling.In the method, catalyzer directly enters the scorch region of revivifier by delivery system, because the conveying of this type of catalyzer can not be continuously strict, therefore burning also can not be continuously strict, causes the discontinuous of whole process, will cause like this that to burn efficient low.Also exist regeneration gas to adopt thermal cycling in this patent, water content is big in the gas phase, the shortcoming that specific surface area of catalyst decline is fast.In addition, chlorine oxidation zone and scorch region directly communicate, and the chlorine-containing gas in the chlorine oxidation zone can directly enter scorch region, has improved the requirement to the scorch region equipment material like this, has strengthened facility investment.In the CN1045411A patent, reclaimable catalyst is risen to the separation hopper at revivifier top by reactor bottom, after elutriation, enter the potential device district, under allobar pressure is regulated, enter the buffer zone at revivifier top, under action of gravity, pass through two radially moving-bed of catalyst scorch regions then in succession, axial catalyst moving-bed chlorine oxidation zone and axial catalyst moving-bed calcining zone, from second moving-bed of catalyst combustion zone combustion gases of discharging radially, after the gas that comes out with chlorine oxidation zone and calcining zone is pre-mixed, deliver to the washing loop again, in this method, because burning branch carries out for two sections, so the revivifier complex structure, the regenerator column absolute altitude is too high, and it is too huge that next washs in the loop alkali cleaning equipment.In addition, separate hopper except that elutriation, also serve as the low depressor in the catalyst transport process, because the pressure that separates hopper is subjected to the influence of various factors, pressure is easy to generate instability, particularly at the initial stage of going into operation, like this to the smooth operation generation considerable influence of catalyst transport.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous reproducible, the simple catalyst regeneration process of flow process, and do not have the problem of high temperature chlorine-containing gas corrosion scorch region equipment, the specification that also can dwindle alkali cleaning equipment simultaneously.
In order to achieve the above object, the invention provides a kind of like this renovation process, contain a kind of carrier, the halogen of at least a catalytically-active metals and certain content, and the reclaimable catalyst of particle diameter between 0.5-5.0mm, rise to the separation hopper at revivifier top by reactor bottom, after elutriation, enter the low pressure area of packing material bucket, under the pressure of isolating the hopper allobar is regulated, catalyzer enters the buffer zone at revivifier top through allobar from low pressure area, enter radially moving-bed of catalyst scorch region by gravity by buffer zone then, with contain the carbon deposit that the oxygen regeneration gas contacts the burning-off catalyst surface, resurgent gases recycles, catalyzer after burning enters axial catalyst moving-bed chlorine oxidation zone again under action of gravity, contact with chlorine-containing gas and to carry out oxychlorination, catalyzer behind the oxychlorination is under action of gravity, enter axial catalyst moving-bed calcining zone, under the oxygen-containing gas effect, calcine, catalyzer after the calcining leaves revivifier by regenerator bottoms, through the degassing, after reduction is handled, enter reactor head and begin next circulation.Have only the catalyzer conduit to communicate between described scorch region and the chlorine oxidation zone, with chlorine-containing gas after catalyzer contacts, discharge in the chlorine oxidation zone, after dechlorination is handled, enter the regeneration recycle gas loop, be circulated to scorch region by the chlorine-containing gas outlet of chlorine oxidation zone.
Feature of the present invention also is, the chlorine-containing gas of being discharged by chlorine oxidation zone exports out from chlorine-containing gas, after the water cooler cooling, enter the soda-wash tower dechlorination, with mix through cooled regeneration recycle gas, gas mixture drying device, strainer, compressor and interchanger carry out drying, filter, boost and heat exchange after, divide two-way to enter heater heats, enter scorch region then, wherein one the tunnel is used to burn, and another road is used to regulate the temperature of scorch region bottom beds.
The unusual effect that the present invention produces is, compare with US4578370, because of having set up buffer zone in the top of revivifier, isolate hopper place revivifier above, make catalyzer enter scorch region continuously, thereby realized cyclic regeneration; Secondly, have only the catalyzer conduit to communicate between scorch region and the chlorine oxidation zone, catalyzer in catalyzer conduit bottom naturally heap end, the prevention chlorine-containing gas enters scorch region, so, reduced requirement to the scorch region equipment material with regard to there not being the problem of high temperature chlorine-containing gas corrosion scorch region equipment; Compare with the CN1045411A technology, substituted former independent potential device, make the separation hopper only bear the function of elutriation, thereby reduced of the influence of the instability of separation hopper district pressure the regeneration system rapidly quiet run with the isolation hopper that has low pressure area and allobar; Scorch region is one section moving-bed of catalyst, simplified the absolute altitude that flow process has reduced revivifier, reduced facility investment; Chlorine-containing gas is directly extracted out, alkali cleaning dechlorination separately, the specification of having dwindled alkali cleaning equipment.
Use the present invention also can reach other effect, because regeneration recycle gas adopts cold circulation, use normal temperature compressed machine to promote, reduced investment, the revivifier working pressure can change between 0.3-1.5Mpa, water content is few in the regeneration recycle gas, can slow down the minimizing speed of regenerated catalyst specific surface area, prolongs the work-ing life of catalyzer.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, describe the present invention in detail with specific embodiment, but accompanying drawing does not limit the present invention.
