Description

Method and apparatus for producing ethylene and propylene
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a process for producing ethylene and propylene, and in particular to a process for producing ethylene and propylene from a feedstock comprising carbon tetrahydrocarbons.
Background
The main purpose of industrial steam cracking is to prepare low molecular olefins such as ethylene, propylene and butadiene as byproducts, and light aromatics such as benzene, toluene and xylene, and also to generate a small amount of heavy aromatics. Steam cracking is an endothermic reaction, typically carried out in a tubular furnace: the raw material and the steam are preheated and then enter a furnace tube of a heating furnace, are heated to 750-plus-900 ℃ for cracking, enter a quenching boiler, are rapidly cooled, and then enter a quencher and a cryogenic separation device below minus 100 ℃ to obtain various cracked products in sequence. Steam cracking is the main process for producing low molecular olefins such as ethylene and propylene.
The olefin catalytic cracking technology is a method for obtaining light molecular olefins of propylene and ethylene by using various mixed C4-C6 olefins as raw materials and catalytically cracking the olefins contained in the raw materials usually in the presence of a molecular sieve catalyst. Currently, representative olefin catalytic cracking processes mainly include: a Propylur process, an OCP process, an Omega process, an OCC process, a Superflex process and the like. Wherein, the total conversion rate of olefin in the Propylur process can reach 85%, the yield of propylene per pass is 40 mol%, the yield of ethylene is 10 mol% (relative to the total amount of olefin in the feed), the total conversion rate of olefin in the Omega process is more than 75%, and the conversion rate of olefin per pass in the OCC process is more than 60%.
In the conventional process, in order to increase the overall conversion, the unreacted material is recycled to the reactor, the unreacted mixed carbon four cannot be easily separated, the n-butane and the unreacted olefin material are recycled to the reactor, and in some cases, in order to achieve a considerable olefin yield, the recycle ratio (material recycled to the reactor/fresh material) is more than 2 or even 3. With this design, if the butane (especially n-butane) concentration in the feed is high, the economics will be greatly affected because too much inert components are recycled back to the reactor.
In order to completely dry and press the materials, the unreacted materials are discharged and used as the feeding materials for steam cracking after full hydrogenation, so that the normal butane in the raw materials can be utilized, but the method has the following problems: the unreacted C4 contains some isomeric hydrocarbons, such as isobutane and isobutene, because C four olefins can undergo isomerization reaction under the conditions of the claims to obtain a balanced composition, the balanced composition necessarily contains a large amount of isobutene, the isobutene can be changed into isobutane after being fully hydrogenated, the isobutane is an inferior steam cracking raw material, a large amount of methane and a very low ethylene yield can be obtained after cracking, meanwhile, the isobutene is a high-quality olefin catalytic cracking raw material, and the ethylene propylene yield is not different from that of normal olefins, so that the hydrogenation of the isobutene is huge waste of resources.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problem that when the existing olefin catalytic technology is utilized to treat mixed carbon-containing four materials with high n-butane concentration, the single-pass conversion rate of the existing olefin catalytic cracking technology is not high enough, and unreacted materials need to be recycled in order to improve the total conversion rate; and the n-butane hardly participates in the reaction, and the circulation can cause the accumulation of the n-butane in the system, so that the whole device is greatly expanded in scale, and the energy consumption is higher.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention provides a method for producing ethylene and propylene, which is characterized in that unreacted carbon four raw materials are divided into a division point at minus 6.8 +/-0.5 ℃, substances with a boiling point lower than the temperature are returned to a reaction unit, so that n-butane contained in the materials cannot return to a reactor, most of other unreacted butylene discharged out of a system is 2-butylene along with the n-butane, the unreacted butylene is completely changed into n-butane after full hydrogenation, and the n-butane is a high-quality steam cracking raw material and has very high diene yield and high attached yield after steam cracking. By utilizing the method of the invention, the contradiction between energy consumption/investment and yield in the traditional method can be solved: the device scale is reduced, the device energy consumption is reduced, and meanwhile, the whole ethylene propylene yield based on the fresh raw materials is not reduced or even improved.
