Method for reducing oil content of waste argil
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of petroleum processing, and particularly relates to a method for treating waste argil generated in the production process of refined lubricating oil.
Background
In the production of lubricating oil, the refining process of removing undesirable components or the hydrogenation treatment of chemical conversion of the undesirable components is required to improve the viscosity index of the base oil and meet the requirement of viscosity-temperature performance, and the dewaxing process or the hydrodewaxing process of cracking and isomerizing the wax hydrocarbon is required to reduce the condensation point of the base oil and meet the requirement of low-temperature fluidity. The lubricating oil white clay replenishing and refining device as the last process is to mix lubricating oil stock with certain amount of white clay at certain temperature and time, treat various solvent refining and solvent dewaxing lubricating oil stocks, and remove a small amount of polar substances such as colloid, asphaltene, naphthenic acid, sulfonic acid, oxygen-nitrogen-sulfur compounds and the like and non-ideal components such as mechanical impurities and the like in raw materials in a physical adsorption mode. And then filtering and separating the white clay and the oil to obtain high-quality lubricating oil base oil, wherein the white clay is supplemented and refined to better improve the color, the oxidation stability, the emulsification resistance, the insulativity and the carbon residue value of the oil product.
Under the condition of clay refining, the clay has good adsorption effect on the colloid and the asphalt, and the colloid and the asphalt are more easily adsorbed when the molecular weight of the colloid and the asphalt is larger; oxides and sulfates are also easily adsorbed; in hydrocarbons, the order of adsorption is aromatic > naphthenic > paraffinic.
Although clay has good adsorption performance on polar substances, the adsorption of clay has a certain limit. After the adsorption polar substance is saturated, the adsorption capacity is lost. The amount of the waste clay discharged by standing the lubricating oil every year is huge, for example, the waste clay generated by a supplement refining device for the middle petrifaction of Yanshan mountain is more than 10000t per year, the waste clay is mostly brown to gray black solid slag, and some waste clays are also bonded into blocks, and at the moment, the fresh clay needs to be replaced in time. In recent years, the yield of oil product refining spent bleaching clay is continuously increased, the traditional treatment methods such as burying, blending combustion and the like are not compliant, how to treat hazardous waste regularly and realize harmlessness and recycling are becoming the focus of attention of environmental protection departments increasingly. Therefore, finding out the efficient recovery of oil in the waste clay and the comprehensive utilization of the deoiled clay becomes a hot point of research in the aspect.
Patent CN1709595A performs regeneration process treatment on the deoiled waste clay, i.e. drying, dehydrating, calcining, pickling and activating after calcining, drying and sieving to obtain regenerated clay. Similarly, patent CN102266759A discloses a method, which comprises the steps of mixing waste clay with sulfuric acid with the mass fraction of 40-60%, kneading the obtained paste into a certain shape, firing at the temperature of 600-700 ℃, cooling and crushing to obtain regenerated clay. The clay begins to lose crystal water when being heated to above 300 ℃, the structure of the clay is changed, and in addition, the introduction of concentrated sulfuric acid can also cause the collapse of the porous structure of the clay, and the two points can influence the regeneration effect; more importantly, the oil absorbed by the clay is burnt, and the recovery of resources is not realized.
Patent CN107286973A discloses a method for recovering oil from waste clay: under the first contact condition, the waste clay to be treated is contacted with an organic solvent to desorb the lubricating oil base oil in the waste clay, under the second contact condition, the waste clay subjected to primary treatment is contacted with the organic solvent to dissolve non-ideal components in the waste clay, and under the third contact condition, the waste clay subjected to secondary treatment is contacted with water to dissolve the extraction solvent in the clay. According to different proportions of the extraction solvent, batch extraction of ideal components and non-ideal components of the lubricating oil is realized. In fact, the lubricating oil recovered in this way ideally still contains heavy components such as gums, asphaltenes and the like.
