Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for producing an aromatic concentrate suitable for use as a blending component for gasoline fuels from hydrocarbon mixtures with a boiling range between 40 and 170 ° C., which contain several aromatics in addition to non-aromatics.
  • octane improvers In addition to the increased use of alkylate and polymer spirits, certain alcohols, such as methanol, isopropanol and tert-butanol, and certain ethers, such as methyl tert-butyl ether and amyl ether, are also used as octane improvers. Very often, the required octane number is also set in the gasoline fuel by adding aromatic concentrates, which contain not only a little benzene but especially C7 to C9 aromatics.
  • aromatic concentrates suitable as blending components for gasoline fuels are becoming increasingly important.
  • These aromatic concentrates should not have too high a benzene content. This is sought not only because of the carcinogenic properties of benzene already mentioned, but above all because benzene has a lower octane-improving effect than other aromatics such as toluene.
  • aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures from petroleum processing, such as. B. Reformates and Platformates. Inhaled hydrocarbon mixtures with a high benzene content, such as pyrolysis gasoline or coke oven crude benzene on the other hand, for the reasons described above, it is less suitable for the stated purpose.
  • the aromatics concentrates have hitherto been separated from these feed hydrocarbon mixtures in practice exclusively by liquid-liquid extraction using customary solvents, such as, for example, polyethylene glycol, sulfolane , N-methylpyrrolidone and others.
  • customary solvents such as, for example, polyethylene glycol, sulfolane , N-methylpyrrolidone and others.
  • solvents such as, for example, polyethylene glycol, sulfolane , N-methylpyrrolidone and others.
  • solvents such as, for example, polyethylene glycol, sulfolane , N-methylpyrrolidone and others.
  • counter solvent such as pentane.
  • Liquid-liquid extraction therefore causes not only high operating costs but also high investment costs.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a method by which the aromatic concentrates of the type mentioned at the outset can be obtained in a particularly simple and inexpensive manner.
  • the process of the type mentioned at the outset which is used to achieve this object is characterized according to the invention in that the hydrocarbon feed mixture is subjected to an extractive distillation without prior separation into individual fractions using N-substituted morpholines, the substituents of which have no more than seven C atoms, as a selective solvent is, the low-boiling non-aromatics with a boiling range up to approx. 105 ° C practically completely and the higher-boiling non-aromatics with a boiling range between approx.
  • 105 and 160 ° C are predominantly distilled off as overhead raffinate from the extractive distillation column, while the main amount the aromatics and the remaining non-aromatics are withdrawn together with the solvent used as an extract from the bottom of the extractive distillation column, whereupon the solvent is distilled from the other hydrocarbons in a downstream stripping column is separated open of the extract and these are used in whole or in part as a blending component.
  • extractive distillation avoids the disadvantages of liquid-liquid extraction described above, since on the one hand the solvent used according to the invention is used without any addition of water and on the other hand - as is customary in extractive distillation - relatively simple columns can be used .
  • N-formylmorpholine has proven to be particularly suitable.
  • the figure shows a flow diagram of the method according to the invention in a highly simplified representation.
  • the feed hydrocarbon mixture that is processed is processed without any pre-fractionation introduced via line 1 into the central part of the extractive distillation column 2 provided with internals (trays).
  • the hydrocarbons of the raffinate escape overhead from the extractive distillation column 2 and pass via line 4 into column 5, in which the hydrocarbons of the raffinate are separated from the solvent residues by distillation.
  • the latter pass via line 6 into line 3, through which the solvent used is introduced into the upper part of the extractive distillation column 2.
  • the hydrocarbons of the raffinate freed from the solvent are withdrawn via the head 7 from the column 5 and fed to their further use.
  • the hydrocarbons of the extract are withdrawn together with the majority of the solvents via line 8 from the bottom of the extractive distillation column 2 and from there into the middle part of the stripping column 9, which may also be provided with internals (trays).
  • the hydrocarbons of the extract consisting mainly of aromatics are driven off from the solvent, the recovered solvent, which accumulates in the bottom of the stripping column 9, being returned via line 3 to the extractive distillation column 2.
  • the hydrocarbons of the extract freed from the solvent are drawn off from the stripping column 9 via the lines 10 and 11 and fed to their further use.
  • the flow diagram shown in the figure contains only those parts of the system which are absolutely necessary for the explanation of the method according to the invention, while all auxiliary devices which are not directly related to the invention were not shown in the flow diagram. This applies in particular to the heat exchangers for heat exchange between the individual process streams, the circulation cookers for heating the individual columns, the devices for regenerating or supplementing the used solvent, and all measuring and control devices.
  • the raffinates obtained when carrying out the process according to the invention can be obtained as so-called.
  • Chemical gasoline for further processing for example, these raffinates can be used as a starting material for ethylene pyrolysis or for isomerization processes.
  • the aromatic concentrates used as a blending component and obtained by the process according to the invention only have a low non-aromatic content of between 0.5 and 5.0% by weight.
  • N-formylmorpholine was used as the selective solvent for the extractive distillation.
  • the extractive distillation column 2 each had 50 trays.
  • the feed hydrocarbon mixture was introduced into the extractive distillation column 2 at a temperature of 70 ° C., and the top temperature of this column was in each case approximately 100 ° C.
  • process example 1 a so-called reformate from petroleum processing with an aromatic content of 65% by weight and an octane number (RON) of 92 was used as the input hydrocarbon mixture, process variant 2 being used.
  • process example 2 a so-called platformat with an aromatic content of 42% by weight and an octane number (RON) of 83 was used as the starting material, process variant 2 again being used.
  • process example 3 the same reformate as in process example 1 was finally used as the starting material. However, this starting material was worked up according to process variant 1.
