Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved process for the production of acetylene and synthesis gas by thermal partial oxidation in a reactor having a burner with feed-through holes and an apparatus for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • mixers / burners / firebox / quench combinations customarily used for the BASF Sachsse-Bartholome acetylene process - referred to below as the "reactor" in simplified terms - are described, for example, in DE-PS 875 198 ,
  • the acetylene burners used in today's production scale are characterized by their cylindrical geometry of the combustion chamber (reactor).
  • the starting materials are premixed via a diffuser and fed largely without back-mixing to the burner block, which preferably has hexagonal through-bores.
  • the burner block which preferably has hexagonal through-bores.
  • the subsequent furnace in which the flame of the acetylene-forming partial oxidation reaction is stabilized, is also of cylindrical cross-section and has the appearance of a short tube (of, for example, 533 mm diameter and 400 mm length).
  • quench nozzles are installed on one or more quench distributor rings outside its circumference, which contain the quench medium, e.g. Spray water or oil, with or without the aid of an atomizing medium, and spray approximately perpendicularly to the main flow direction of the reaction gases leaving the combustion chamber.
  • This direct quench has the task of cooling the reacting flow extremely rapidly so that subsequent reactions, i. in particular the degradation of formed acetylene, be frozen.
  • the range and distribution of the quenching beams is ideally dimensioned so that the most homogeneous possible temperature distribution is achieved in the shortest possible time.
  • the premixing of the starting materials in the mixing diffuser takes place in a relatively large volume and under high temperatures. Due to an increased proportion of reactive feedstock components, catalytically active particles and surfaces, e.g. Rust, coke, etc., large residence time distributions e.g. backmixing zones and stagnation point flows may cause induction times for the ignition of the mixture to be exceeded, thereby compromising the economics and effectiveness of the process. Furthermore, the introduction of additional devices such as pilot burner designed as hardly feasible, since due to the resulting flow disturbances also an exceeding of the induction times for the ignition of the mixture is to be feared.
  • a process for the production of acetylene and synthesis gas by thermal partial oxidation was found in a reactor having a through-bore burner, which is characterized in that the reactants to be reacted only immediately before the flame reaction zone in the feedthrough holes of the burner mixing rapidly and completely, wherein in the mixing zone within the feedthrough bores an average flow rate is set which exceeds the flame propagation velocities under the given reaction conditions. Furthermore, an apparatus for carrying out the method according to the invention was found.
  • the unwanted fore and backflashes described can be avoided according to the invention by not carrying out the premixing of the starting materials as usual in a large volume (in the mixing diffuser) at rather low flow velocities, but advantageously adding this premix to the already large number of units that are present anyway
  • the through-bores generally have the task of stabilizing the flame in a locally defined manner Measure, the mixing is divided into many small volumes and it forms in the feedthrough holes from a forward flow, which has a high speed. In the highly turbulent flow present there, the mixture can be produced easily and quickly by means of suitable mixing geometries, at the same time avoiding a flashback due to the far higher flow velocity in the feedthrough bores compared with the flame speed.
  • mixing-in geometries can easily be determined by the person skilled in the art with knowledge of this invention.
  • mixing nozzles that work according to the venturi principle or the principle of the static mixing tube are very well suited for this purpose.
  • Splitting the premixing task also provides ease of transferability and applicability in the standard scaling methods for acetylene torches and reactors.
  • the burners of the BASF Sachsse-Bartholome acetylene process are usually water-cooled cylindrical blocks, which have a large number of likewise cylindrical bores. Due to the resulting obstruction stabilization of the flame is supported so that forms an ideal flat flame in the furnace above the burner plate.
  • the number of holes and their diameter and spacing are chosen at a given burner capacity so that the flow velocity in the holes above the setback - but below a critical Abblas familia.
  • the mixing of the starting materials only takes place immediately before the flame reaction zone in the feedthrough bores and not in a diffuser, as hitherto.
  • the volume of a burner used on a production scale is about 0.6 m 3 while the volume of a mixing element according to the invention is lower by about 3 orders of magnitude.
  • reaction mixtures can be premixed whose ignition delay time is in the millisecond range.
  • the mixing element is characterized by a largely backmixing-free and rapid mixing of the two starting materials while minimizing the pressure loss occurring in this case.
  • the measure makes it possible to avoid stoppages, torch activities and associated emissions and opens up possibilities of raw synthesis gas, (crude) hydrogen or higher fractions (> 10% by volume) of ethane, ethylene or liquid gases (propane, Butane, etc.), to increase the preheat temperatures to over 600X and the reactor pressure to above 1.3 bar, which would otherwise give rise to pre-ignition.
  • This can be realized either yield increases or throughput increases in existing processes.
  • the heat-releasing oxidation reaction is directed to the unsuitable as the acetylene precursor hydrogen and the carbon source for acetylene formation, ie the feed hydrocarbon, spared.
  • the pathway leading to acetylene formation is more pyrolytic and utilizes feedstock hydrocarbon cracking reactions induced by this in-situ heat release.
  • a burner (1) is shown, in which via line (2) of a feedstock is supplied. About the inserted by means of an intermediate flange device part (3) is fed through line (4) of the second feedstock.
  • the two starting materials are by a not shown mixer (5) in the
  • the invention can be applied to all partially oxidative acetylene processes, but especially the BASF acetylene process and its various embodiments. Likewise, a combination with the methods disclosed in the patent applications DE 103 13 527 A1, DE 103 13 528 A1, DE 103 13 529 A1 is expressly advantageous, and reference is hereby made to this.
  • the invention expressly differs from processes in which the premix in the reactor, combustion chamber or combustion chamber in a diffusion flame, with turbulent diffused Mischvor- running temporally and spatially parallel to the combustion reaction is done, as it is disclosed, for example, in DE 20 52 543 C3, especially since it completely avoids the disadvantages mentioned therein of a shift in the yield of acetylene to increased ethylene contents.
  • the retrofittability of existing systems and methods by means of a simple device and thus their transformation to the method according to the invention can be regarded as particularly advantageous.
  • Suitable starting materials are in principle all customary for the production of acetylene and / or synthesis gas hydrocarbons in question, such as. Methane, higher saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons and biofuels which are gaseous at the selected preheating temperature.
  • the process principle according to the invention can also be used for other processes for the production of acetylene and synthesis gas having the stated advantages.
  • the process of the invention enables an economical production of acetylene and synthesis gas in high yields.
  • the time for premixing the two reactants is significantly reduced, so that high preheating temperatures or pressures of the starting materials and higher proportions of reactive components can be realized without causing pre-ignition in the mixing chamber, thereby further increasing the effectiveness of the process.
  • An additional advantage of the method according to the invention is that in the region of the diffuser, which in the conventional burners accomplishes the mixture and mixture feed to the burner block, the incorporation of flow disturbing parts is no longer prohibited, since the increased in the region of separation vortices local residence time of the Gases can no longer induce pre-ignition. It is thus advantageously possible to realize internals such as pilot burners, which were hitherto unusual in acetylene burners, alternative flame monitoring systems, measuring probes or cooling water feeds, eg for supplying burner types according to DE 103 13 528 A1. The method can be advantageously realized even with existing burners by a simple conversion cost and with little procedural effort. Examples:
  • gas-fired applications typically achieve product gas compositions containing 8.5% by volume of acetylene.
  • a feedstock gas is reacted according to the invention, which contains 6 vol% ethane in addition to natural gas.
  • concentrations of acetylene can be increased to 9% by volume in the cracking gas.
  • Acetylene concentration in the cleavage gas to be increased to over 9.5% acetylene, which means a further increase in yield.
