Invention field
The present invention relates to a kind of process that fossil energy is converted into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons.Refer in particular to and fossil energy is converted into synthetic gas then synthetic gas to be converted into liquid fuel and wax or straight chain hydrocarbon be the process integration of primary product.Wherein the synthetic gas conversion reaction is mounted with saturated liquefied hydrocarbon one and is reaction medium and is suspended in wherein to contain or do not contain in the fine grain slurry attitude of the auxiliary agent skeletal iron catalyst phase reaction container and carries out.The most important thing is that catalyst solid particle easily autoreaction slurries is separated and reclaimed or be discarded.
Background of invention
The process that fossil energy such as coal, Sweet natural gas, refinery coke etc. are converted into liquid hydrocarbon fuel and/or chemical is the theme of whole industry member broad research and exploitation for many years always, attempt by this measure provide the real alternative orientation of crude production produce clean fuel especially high hexadecane value diesel oil and exploitation in the world the coal of maximum reserves as the competition raw material of basic hydrocarbon production.The existing considerable technological process that directly or indirectly fossil energy is converted into the liquefied hydrocarbon product has obtained exploitation, some bigger pilot plants have also been set up and have been moved, and have the commercial size factory of family more than 20 once to drop into the technology that coal conversion is a liquefied hydrocarbon approximately.More than 20 in the family, majority is being set up during the Second World War by German Government at this.These factories of half adopt well-known Fischer-Tropsch building-up process approximately, promptly by the contact process that generate liquid hydrocarbon of synthetic gas with catalyzer, are better in durante bello operation at that time at least.After this be exactly that Government of South Africa (SASOL) utilizes the indirect liquefaction process of fischer-tropsch reaction and iron catalyst successfully to set up the production equipment that a series of coals are converted into hydrocarbon fuel and chemical.What have that to be exactly the Shell Oil Co. build in Malaysia is the fixed bed Fischer-Tropsch synthesizer of raw material with cheap Sweet natural gas again.
From work angle, no matter the indirect liquefaction Fischer-Tropsch that coal matrix or Sweet natural gas set out synthesizes on engineering by good authentication.Yet, so far still distance is arranged by coal or the Sweet natural gas developer who carries out direct or indirect liquefaction process that sets out with economically success, be that directly or indirectly the higher running cost of liquefaction process also is a big reason in addition because the price of competition substitute crude oil is lower to a great extent.The economic operation of process depends on unstripped gas price, catalyzer cost and activity, abrasion resistance and other challenge significantly, and these restrictions obviously need be overcome or improve and reduce total process cost.Via Fischer-Tropsch synthetic coal or the potential in fact competition gap that can shorten this process and crude oil technology of Sweet natural gas base indirect liquefaction process.Key wherein is exactly to improve catalyst performance and the reactor design that is applied to be converted into by synthetic gas the Fischer-Tropsch building-up process of hydrocarbon product energetically.
The method that the hydrocarbon product of high value 1-alkene is rich in known a kind of preparation is, at first for example gasification or natural gas via steam reforming are converted into synthetic gas with fossil energy, be carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and then by the Fischer-Tropsch building-up process of using iron catalyst synthetic gas be converted into the liquefied hydrocarbon product again.But great majority are especially starched embrittlement easily in the attitude phase reactor, are broken for the superfine powder particle with the iron catalyst of precipitator method manufacturing under the popular response condition in the Fischer-Tropsch building-up process.Part in the synthetic product is a paraffin, the liquid phase reaction medium that forms in reactor has just become the slurries that are mixed with micron order granules of catalyst (quite a few is less than 1 micron), makes that the wax product after fischer-tropsch reaction becomes extremely difficult with separating of superfine granules of catalyst.So need separation means expensive and quite complexity to append in traditional Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process separating effect with the precipitated iron catalyst subparticle that improves Fischer-Tropsch synthetic and wherein carry secretly.The result is the loss of the precipitated iron catalyst that can be recycled and is attached to cost burden on the Fischer-Tropsch building-up process economy that wherein the latter is owing to replacing the loss catalyzer and granules of catalyst in the wax product being carried out isolating more multioperation cost cause.Obviously, the separation difficulty of catalyzer and wax product has become precipitated iron catalyst successful Application and business-like one big obstacle.
Do as a whole here and in the United States Patent (USP) 6265451 and 6277895 quoted, skeletal iron catalyst is used to produce the liquefied hydrocarbon product via the fossil origin synthetic gas in paste state bed reactor.In these patents explanation with proposed a kind of relative simplification and cheap method and can prepare the synthetic skeletal iron catalyst of Fischer-Tropsch, this catalyzer possess low wearing and tearing, with the separate easily performance of wax and synthetic gas transformation efficiency characteristics far above fused iron catalyst.And the unstripped gas transformation efficiency of this catalyzer is equivalent to the precipitated iron fischer-tropsch synthetic catalyst, and selectivity of product then stresses at fraction hydro carbons and a small amount of wax product.
Here we provide the invention of a complete process process, be successful land productivity advantage with skeletal iron catalyst in the slurry attitude phase reactor, and overcome narrated here by fossil energy for example the synthetic gas in Sweet natural gas or coal source produce the major limitation of the process of liquefied hydrocarbon.

Referring to Fig. 1, this flow chart describes course of reaction of the present invention in detail, and preferential the employing contains the auxiliary agent bone The frame iron catalyst is in slurry attitude phase reactor. This process can be by once passing through or one-pass operation or synthesis gas is not anti-Should the partially recycled reactor that loops back. One-pass operation process formant among the present invention comprises: the gasification process device (101), catalyst activation tank (105), synthesis reactor (110), heat exchanger (115), catalyst sedimentation tank (120), Wax product flash vessel (125), reacting fluid flash evaporation tank (130) and cold flash tank (135), fractionating column (140) and fractionating column Top condenser (145), return tank (150) and reboiler (155).
With natural gas at upstream reformer or gasification installation to raw material of synthetic gas of the present invention (not shown in the diagram) Or coal is converted into synthesis gas. This synthesis gas is purified after removing sulphur and oxygen, as unstripped gas (201) by reactor Bottom inlet enters reactor (110), and by bottom distributor control flow. Stream keeps the catalyst powder in the slurries The end is suspended, thereby synthesis gas is converted into the liquid product of gaseous state and wide fraction. The reaction heat that produces is by cold But pipe (202) is removed, and imports boiling water in the cooling pipeline and produces steam.
Liquid level in the reactor remains on cooling tube by the ororrhea Flow Line (203) that flows to catalyst settler (120) On the line. Catalyst deposit in the slurries that (120) are discharged by reactor in catalyst settler is in the tank bottom, and The liquid that only contains a small amount of catalyst fines then Main Current to the top of tank. Carry secretly with dissolved gases and then leave sedimentation The vapour phase that tank is integrated with reactor top flows out line. The catalyst of 90-99% in the catalyst slurry that reactor is discharged To be deposited in the bottom of tank, remove from settling tank top and carry the liquid stream of seldom measuring catalyst fines secretly, and be subjected to liquid Face control is lower sends into filter (205) by pump (204), a small amount of catalyst fines is filtered remove. The cleaning filtrate then by Send into wax flash tank (125). Behind flash tank (125) discharge tail gas, clean wax product is then by pumping (206) and cooling (207) The recycling wax product.
The reactor slurry of discharging through (203) overflow line can be revolved through waterpower before entering catalyst sedimentation tank (120) Turn to separator (not shown in the diagram), the separation of accelerator activator/wax.
The major part of the concentrated slurry of catalyst sedimentation pot bottom is beaten by slush pump (208) and is looped back synthesis reactor (110). This liquid is concentrating for catalyst granules. Other has a small amount of slurries then to emit under flow-control (209).
