Description

Produce the Nonextractive processes of high purity aromatics
The present invention relates to produce the novel method of aromatic hydrocarbons.More particularly, the present invention relates to a kind of catalysis process of the arene stream that is used for purifying, the boiling spread of contained non-aromatics impurity is identical with the temperature range of aromatic hydrocarbons in this arene stream.Most importantly, the present invention describes a kind of non-extracting catalysis process of production high purity aromatic hydrocarbons.
In the production process of petroleum chemicals, need to be substantially free of the high purity arene stream of non-aromatic compound.The aroamtic hydrocarbon raw material that petrochemical iy produced is suitable comprises benzene, toluene, and C 8Aromatic hydrocarbons.Usually, the by product during the petroleum naphtha catalytic reforming, made of this aromatic hydrocarbons and output with the form that is mixed with other component or as ethene.For example, along with the difference that process variable and raw material are formed, the product liquid of naphtha reforming output (being called reformate) contains the mixture of various hydrocarbon, and this mixture comprises such as benzene, and the aromatic hydrocarbons of toluene and dimethylbenzene and so on is referred to as BTX usually.
In case after aromatic substance separated with the non-compounds of group of narrow boiling point, just can reclaim highly purified benzene, toluene and C by distillation method 8Arene stream.Then this class logistics is used to make petrochemical intermediate such as ethylbenzene, vinylbenzene, hexanaphthene, cumene, phenol, p-Xylol, a dimethyl, o-Xylol and p-methylstyrene.
Since to the design requirements of tower or reflux ratio by distillation method from reformate or pyrolysis gasoline, reclaim the pure aromatics logistics industrial be not practicable.Therefore, rely on the partition method of boiling-point difference from reformate or pyrolysis gasoline, to separate narrow boiling point non-aromatics such as dimethylcyclopentane and hexanaphthene is impracticable with the purer aromatic product of generation.Though and can originally separate some non-aromatics with aryl at least based on the distillation method of boiling point, product still can contain one or more boiling points non-aromatics much at one.In practical field, when the boiling-point difference between various non-aromaticss and aromatic hydrocarbons during less than about 10, distillate will contain the mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons and non-aromatics.When being at least about 25 °F, boiling-point difference just can realize effective separation.
Use another kind of method, can use a kind of and non-aromatics to compare the high solvent of aromatic hydrocarbons relative affinity by means of extraction process and realize separating.The example that is generally used for the extraction process of industry is such as UOP ' SUDEX TMAnd SULFOLANE TMThe liquid of method and so on-liquid extracting or extractive distillation.
US3,808,284 and 3,812,197 specify together with catforming use the distillation and solvent extraction process.
Can use catalyzer from reformate, optionally to remove non-aromatics, US3 for example, 849,290 describe a kind of multistep processes that improves the petroleum naphtha gasoline concoction with the storing octane value.In the first step, raw material is reformed on nonacid platinum type catalyzer, produce a kind of reformate that contains aromatic hydrocarbons and paraffinic hydrocarbons.Make then reformate under the hydrocracking condition of gentleness with a kind of in the aperture zeolite contact and make the low-octane paraffinic hydrocarbons of high boiling point (as C 7+) optionally cracking.The effluent liquid of this hydrocracking step is contacted with a kind of small-bore catalyzer make the low-octane C of lower boiling 6The hydrocracking of-selective paraffin ground.These three steps, the processing sequence of three kinds of catalyzer generate a kind of high-octane rating product after preferentially removing the low octane rating hydrocarbon, but this degree of purity of production is not high enough concerning petroleum chemistry is used.
US4,795,550 describe and a kind ofly remove olefin impurity from arene stream, rather than the low-temperature catalyzed method of paraffinic hydrocarbons or naphthenic hydrocarbon, and the bromine index of this arene stream is between 50 and 2000.
US4,150,061 describe a kind of pyrolysis gasoline method of hydrodealkylation and transalkylation optionally that is used for making after the fractionation, and this pyrolysis gasoline comprises toluene, dimethylbenzene, ethylbenzene, C 7-C 10Paraffinic hydrocarbons, alkene and naphthenic hydrocarbon.This method is having few dimethylbenzene and the benzene of generation ethyl-benzene level under the situation of catalyzer.This catalyzer comprises a kind of tungsten/molybdenum component (WO 3-MoO 3) and a kind of acidic components (60%(weight) mordenite and 40%(weight) the catalytic activity aluminum oxide).Distill this product then with benzene and dimethylbenzene logistics that produces unknown purity and the toluene logistics that is used for recirculation.
US4,861,932 describe a kind of method of producing gasoline concoction with storing, wherein non-aromatics C 2-C 12Paraffin conversion becomes the mixture of high-octane rating aromatic hydrocarbons and alkylaromatic hydrocarbon, and method is that paraffinic hydrocarbons is contacted with a kind of precious metal/low acidity catalyzer.Make then effluent with a kind of based on containing of zeolite such as ZSM-5 a kind of metal contact such as an acidic catalyst of gallium (Ga), though the arenes selectivity height of known this Ga/ZSM-5 catalyzer, this degree of purity of production is not high enough concerning petroleum chemistry is used.
Still need innovative approach to develop catalysis process, this method is convenient on cost effectual ground production high purity arene stream such as BTX, and has minimally, and boiling point is in the non-aromatics impurity in the aromatic hydrocarbons scope.
Therefore an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of new catalysis process that obtains the high purity aromatic product.An other form of the present invention provides that a kind of be used for the non-aromatic component in the arene stream of boiling point in the aromatic hydrocarbons scope is changed into just can be easily with the isolating non-aromatics of aromatic hydrocarbons without extraction process in single catalytic step.
Have been found that now a kind of aroamtic hydrocarbon raw material that contains narrow boiling point non-aromatics can purify in single catalytic step, with production high purity aromatics Chemicals.More particularly, aroamtic hydrocarbon raw material is contacted with a kind of an acidic catalyst, draw a kind of product liquid, the boiling point of wherein contained non-aromatics impurity runs off this aromatic hydrocarbons boiling spread basically.Then can enough partition methods, high purity or chemical pure aromatic hydrocarbons are reclaimed in for example simple distillation from this product, and its expense is significantly less than industrial general extraction process at present.
In other embodiments, the enough a kind of method production of high-purity benzene energy, the non-aromatics impurity that wherein boiling spread is identical with benzene just can removing by selectivity succeeded by distillation by a kind of acidic zeolite catalyst under the elevated temperature condition.
In another embodiment of the invention, produce high-purity benzene, toluene or C with Nonextractive processes 8Aromatic hydrocarbons, this method are included in reformed naphtha logistics above a kind of non-acidic catalyst, make all or part of reformate reaction on a kind of an acidic catalyst, and reclaim the high purity aromatic product with distillation method.In another embodiment of the invention, this reformate of distillation contained toluene, or contains the cut of dimethylbenzene to obtain being rich in benzene before reformate reacted on an acidic catalyst.
Main purpose of the present invention is optionally to remove boiling point with Nonextractive processes from arene stream to be in benzene, and the non-aromatics impurity of toluene and dimethylbenzene (BTX) boiling range is with production high purity arene stream.This boiling range is usually directed to the temperature between about 140 and 350 (about 60 ℃ and 180 ℃).This class non-aromatics can be called narrow boiling point non-aromatics here.
This method generally includes by its selective reaction on an acidic catalyst and makes in the cracking of aromatic hydrocarbons scope ebullient non-aromatics impurity.Make narrow boiling point non-aromatics change into light paraffins and alkene that boiling point runs off the BTX scope basically.In some cases, can form more aromatic hydrocarbons by alkylation or aromizing light paraffins and alkene.
So-called " non-extracting " refers to and relies on solvent different and separate various hydro carbons according to boiling-point difference, by this class Nonextractive processes, the aromatic hydrocarbons purity that generates better is at least about 95%(weight), be more preferably weight) at least about 99.0%(, or even 99.5%(weight), preferably at least about 99.8%(weight).This class aromatic product here can be thought does not have non-aromatics impurity basically.
Catalyst acidity is absolutely necessary concerning non-extracting step of converting.As technically known, acidity of catalyst measure is the normal hexane cracking activity.For example, according to the α test, the α representative is compared a kind of relative normal hexane cracking activity of catalyzer with standard catalyst.This test illustrates more fully sees US3,354,078, and Journal of Catalysis.vol.6, p.522-529, (Ang.1965) with Journal of Catalysits vol.61, p.395(1980).
According to this test, as α>about 10, perhaps be more preferably>about 50 o'clock, catalyzer is a tart.The α value of strong acid catalyst>about 100.Effectively an acidic catalyst is characterised in that this tart definition in the present invention.Particularly, effectively an acidic catalyst can be based on molecular sieve, such as ZSM-5, and beta-zeolite, X-zeolite, Y-zeolite, mordenite, ZSM-11, SSZ-23(sees US4,902,844), SSZ-25(sees US4,826,667) and SSZ-26(see US4,910,006).All these patents are all compiled in this for your guidance.
Since its performance of anti-blockage, the main component that middle pore size molecular sieve is to use the acidic catalyst agent method preferentially to select for use, and wherein this aroamtic hydrocarbon raw material is a gas phase.ZSM-5 is particularly preferred.Concerning aroamtic hydrocarbon raw material was the method for liquid phase, with the wide aperture molecular sieve, such as the X-zeolite, Y-zeolite, mordenite, beta-zeolite and SSZ-26 were that main an acidic catalyst is preferred.
This molecular sieve is preferably bonding with any varied inorganic oxide adhesive of knowing.Suitable binder comprises that molecular sieve can mix with it, disperses or with the mixed uniformly inorganic compositions of other method.Preferred oxide adhesive comprises aluminum oxide, silica, clay naturally occurring and that process routinely, for example wilkinite, kaolin, sepiolite, attapulgite and halloysite.
The selective conversion that contains non-aromatics in the many logistics of aromatic hydrocarbons can be carried out under gaseous state again in liquid state.And the occasion that liquid and gas are in equilibrium state under appropriate condition can provide proper raw material.
Usually, reaction conditions should reach the degree of impelling the non-aromatics preferred catalytic to transform.Concerning liquid phase process, process conditions such as pressure, should reach the liquid degree of considerable part raw material maintenance at least that makes.For example, pressure should be between about 150-1000psig.Preferred temperature is between about 500 °F-Yue 700 °F (260 ℃-371 ℃).Reinforced weight hourly space velocity can not wait from 0.1-100, and generally between 0.5 and 10.The existence of liquid phase is used for washing catalyst and keep its activity.
On the other hand, concerning gas phase process, usually, process conditions should reach and make raw material keep the gasiform degree.For example, temperature can be relatively higher than and pressure can be lower than liquid phase feed relatively.Suitable reaction temperature is more preferably between about 700 and 1100 (371 ℃-593 ℃) between about 600 and 1200 (204 ℃-1168 ℃), preferably between about 950 and 1100 (482 ℃-593 ℃).Pressure can be between normal pressure and 1000psig or is higher, and is preferred between 50psig-600psig.In addition, preferably gas-phase reaction should be carried out under the situation of hydrogen stopping up preventing having.The mol ratio of hydrogen and hydrocarbon feed is generally between 0.5 and 5.0.Following embodiment more clearly illustrates appropriate operational parameters.
Method of the present invention can be used for from various feedstock production high purity arene streams.Typical raw material comprises reformate, pyrolysis gasoline and their cut and mixture.These raw materials should contain the weight at least about 70%() aromatic hydrocarbons, better be at least about 80%(weight), be more preferably weight) at least about 90%(, so that the generation of light gas is reduced to minimum, and both increased the actual effect of the inventive method on cost, increased the suitability of non-method for extracting described here again.
In a preferred embodiment, the reformate that obtains by the reformed naphtha raw material is purified by the reaction on a kind of an acidic catalyst.This raw material can be a kind of light naphthar raw material, for example contains C 6And/or C 7The raw material that component is a lot of is reformed this raw material to produce a kind of product stream that contains aromatic hydrocarbons and narrow boiling point non-aromatics on any conventional reforming catalyst.Typical reforming process operational condition comprises: feed rate 0.1-10WHSV(weight hourly space velocity), pressure is between about 40psig and 100psig, and temperature is between about 800 °F and 1100 °F, and hydrogen: the mol ratio of raw material is between about 0.1-10.
Available a kind of non-acidic catalyst is with the reformed naphtha raw material and improve its aromaticity content.Therefore, the α value should<10, preferably<0.1.In fact the acidity of powerful catalyst is undesirable in aromatic hydrocarbons produces, because this will impel cracking, and this causes the reduction of arenes selectivity.For reducing acidity, catalyzer can contain a kind of basic metal and/or a kind of alkaline-earth metal.Be preferably in according to a conventional method synthetic when or afterwards basic metal or alkaline-earth metal are added in the catalyzer.In addition, better be at least 90%, be more preferably at least 95%, preferably 100% sour position is neutralized by introducing metal.
In addition, produce the catalyzer of aromatic hydrocarbons can aluminum oxide or molecular sieve be basic, such as L-zeolite that contains a kind of inorganic adhesive or low alumina zeolite, the preferred catalyst of reformation usefulness is included in beta-zeolite, ZSM-5, platiniferous catalyzer on the non-acid type formula of low alumina zeolite and L-zeolite.Other reforming catalyst of knowing generally contains a kind of catalytic metal such as platinum, and they are arranged on the natural and any superfluous position of artificial crystalline silico-aluminate.Metal promoters such as group VIII metal rhenium and indium also can be included, and also can be other promoter metal such as tin and germanium.
ZSM-5 and particularly be called its silica alumina ratio (SiO of low alumina zeolite sometimes 2: Al 2O 3) high ZSM-5, the example of its manufacturing process is seen: people such as Dwyer, US3,941,871(Mar.2,1976) and US4,441,991(Apr.10,1984); With people such as Derouane, european patent application 186,479(Feb.7,1986).All these patents are all compiled in this for your guidance.The preparation embodiment of the platinum catalyst on nonacid low alumina zeolite or the L-zeolite sees US4,830,732 and 5,073,250.
The low-sulfur raw material of aromatic hydrocarbons generation step can be said so attractive, so that avoid making reforming catalyst to poison.Under the situation of L-zeolite, better be<50ppbw to be more preferably<5ppbw to the sulphur content of the charging of reformer.
As a particular instance of a kind of like this aromatic hydrocarbons generation step of using the inventive method, can produce valuable C from less expensive hydrocarbon feed such as pyrolysis gasoline and alkane petroleum naphtha 6-C 8Aromatic hydrocarbons.Product is to contain ethylbenzene, benzene, the logistics of toluene and three kinds of xylene isomers.This aromatic hydrocarbons produces step this hydrocarbon feed is changed into very clean aromatic hydrocarbons mixture, yet this mixture also comprises narrow boiling point non-aromatics impurity.Method of the present invention is transformed this narrow boiling point non-aromatics impurity then and is produced a kind of energy through distilling the product that the high purity arene stream is provided.Therefore, this method is used two kinds of independent catalyzer: a kind of non-acidic catalyst is to produce aromatic hydrocarbons and a kind of an acidic catalyst aromatic hydrocarbons to purify and to be generated.
More particularly, this method can comprise that the hydrocarbon feed that makes a kind of cheapness is from process above the low alumina zeolite (alumina content is between about 200-2000ppm) of a kind of non-acidic catalyst such as platinum covering.This catalyzer is effective especially to the aromizing of charging, but as mentioned above, produces a kind of complex mixture that is difficult to the useful isolating non-aromatics of aromatic hydrocarbons that contains.Because the high benzene content (about 70-75%(weight) of product), this selectivity is being valuable aspect the production petroleum chemicals.
Secondly, as described in other form of the present invention, by a kind of an acidic catalyst narrow boiling point non-aromatic component is changed into lighter and heavier component this mixture of purifying, like this, this weight component just can for example be separated with aromatic hydrocarbons by distillation method easily.This impure distillate contains C 3-C 4And C 9+Hydro carbons, the latter can be used for further producing aromatic hydrocarbons through recirculation.This favourable combination of two kinds of different catalysts is enough to help the production of high purity aromatic hydrocarbons such as BTX.Following each embodiment specifies the method according to this embodiment.
