Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of unsaturated or aromatic hydrocarbons such as ethylene, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, styrene, xylene, naphthalene or mixtures thereof from gaseous raw materials such as natural gas.
  • unsaturated or aromatic hydrocarbons such as ethylene, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, styrene, xylene, naphthalene or mixtures thereof from gaseous raw materials such as natural gas.
  • Unsaturated or aromatic hydrocarbons such as those mentioned above, are important intermediates in the chemical industry, whose demand is still increasing. As a rule, they are made from naphtha, which in turn is obtained from crude oil. Recent research shows that world oil reserves are limited compared to natural gas reserves. Therefore, it is desirable to produce aromatic hydrocarbons from educts that can be obtained from natural gas.
  • the main component of natural gas is methane.
  • the typical composition of natural gas is as follows: 50 to 99 mol% methane, 0.01 to 30 mol% ethane, 0.01 to 10 mol% propane, up to 4 mol% butane and higher Hydrocarbons, up to 3 mol% carbon dioxide, up to 0.30 mol% hydrogen sulfide, up to 12 mol% of nitrogen and up to 0, 5 mol% of helium and hydrogen.
  • selectivities of at best 29% for benzene and at the same time over 40% for CO and CO 2 when reacting in a homogeneous gas phase describe selectivities of at best 29% for benzene and at the same time over 40% for CO and CO 2 when reacting in a homogeneous gas phase. Heterogeneously catalyzed reactions provide selectivities for CO and CO 2 of more than 50% on different catalysts in all cases. Benzene selectivities of a maximum of 20.8% are found here.
  • Tan et al. show the conversion of methane to Mo-H-ZSM5 catalysts. In the presence of 1, 5 to 20% O 2 , methane conversions of up to 17.4% are achieved with a benzene selectivity of 28.3%. The highest benzene selectivities are 55% (10.9% methane conversion).
  • US 4,822,944 discloses the oxidative pyrolysis of methane or natural gas at temperatures above 900 ° C on a mixed metal oxide. Turnover of up to 19% and yields of 0.2 to 2.8% are described here.
  • thermodynamic equilibrium is significantly more advantageous for the conversion of ethane, ethylene or propane in a dehydrogenating aromatization to benzene than for the direct conversion of methane to benzene.
  • the equilibrium in the conversion of ethane to benzene at 750 ° C and 1 bar is over 90% (calculated from the thermodynamic data).
  • the dehydrogenating aromatization of methane is thermodynamically less favorable than that of higher alkanes such as ethane or propane. Therefore, it would be beneficial to have a way to increase the yield and selectivity when using a methane-containing gas mixture in the dehydrogenating aromatization.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method of dehydrating aromatization of methane-containing, a proportion of ethane and / or propane and / or butane-containing gas mixtures in which occurs mainly aromatization of ethane and / or propane.
  • the object is to provide such a method, with which the methane present in the mixture is at least partially not utilized in the thermodynamically unfavorable hydroaromatization, but can be supplied to another utilization.
  • the object is achieved by a combined process of depletion or removal of methane from a methane-containing gas mixture A and subsequent reaction of the mixture A to unsaturated compounds comprising the following steps 1) preparing a methane-enriched mixture B by contacting the methane containing gas mixture A having at least one sorbent containing a porous organometallic framework material, wherein the framework material contains at least one coordinated to at least one metal ion, at least bidentate organic compound; 2) preparing a methane-depleted gas mixture C by desorbing the compounds trapped on the sorbent;
  • the unsaturated hydrocarbon is benzene (variant I).
  • the separation of the mixture D into a blending mixture E, which contains the main part of the resulting H 2 and the unreacted hydrocarbons, and in at least one heavy remix F, which contains the majority of the unsaturated hydrocarbons formed takes place.
  • the benzene can also be cleaned overhead.
  • the unsaturated hydrocarbon is ethylene (variant II).
  • the ethylene is preferably dried and freed of CO 2 , in particular by a so-called guard bed.
  • the unsaturated hydrocarbon is ethylbenzene (variant IM).
  • the separation of the mixture D into its main components is carried out by distillation.
  • the main constituents are benzene, ethylbenzene, diethylbenzene and polyethylbenzenes and residue.
  • the separation preferably takes place in a distillation plant consisting of 4 columns.
  • Methane is an important source of energy and also serves as the starting material for a number of important syntheses.
  • the most important natural source of methane is natural gas, where methane is the main component.
  • methane can be produced by cracking or carbonization processes or from carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
  • the multi-stage implementation of the reaction of methane-containing mixtures of unsaturated hydrocarbons as a product of value by combination with separation / depletion of methane allows a significantly increased overall balance of the process in terms of yield and energy input than in the direct one-stage implementation of methane-containing gases.
  • the unsaturated hydrocarbons which can be obtained by the process according to the invention are known to the person skilled in the art.
  • Preferred examples include ethylene, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, styrene, xylene, naphthalene, and mixtures thereof.
  • by-products and by-products are propylene and butene. These products of value can be obtained from the mixture C in various ways.
  • Examples of preferred processes for converting the components contained in mixture C into unsaturated hydrocarbons include the dehydrogenating aromatization (variant I), the dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene (variant II), by cracking or dehydrogenation as such under various conditions can be carried out and the alkylation of aromatics to alkylaromatics, in particular from benzene to ethylbenzene (variant III).
  • saturated hydrocarbons are branched and unbranched hydrocarbons having 1 to 6 C atoms, for example methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, i-butane, n-pentane and i-pentane.
  • Unsaturated hydrocarbons are branched and unbranched hydrocarbons having at least 2 C atoms which have at least one double bond or triple bond, for example ethylene, acetylene, propene, propyne, 1-butene, 2-butene, isobutene, 1-butene. Butyne, 2-butyne, 1-pentene and 2-pentene.
  • the process according to the invention makes it possible in a simple manner to achieve a higher yield of unsaturated compounds, that is to say aromatics produced during the dehydroaromatization, than without a preceding separation step.
  • the separation by sorption carried out in steps 1) and 2) thus brings about a high level of economic efficiency and a favorable economic balance of the process.
  • Methane is removed from a methane-containing mixture, with only a portion of the Me- than (ie> 0 to ⁇ 100% of the amount present) or all of the methane (100%) can be removed. Removing the total amount of methane (100%) is referred to as "complete" separation or "complete" removal.
  • the most common method of separating or depleting methane from methane-containing natural gas mixtures is the low-temperature pressure distillation.
  • This separation is usually preceded by a desulfurization step and the removal of carbon dioxide.
  • the cryogenic pressure distillation is preceded by a drying step.
  • the separation of the carbon dioxide can also take place, for example, adsorptively with the aid of zeolites according to the prior art. Such a process is described, for example, in US Pat. No. 3,751,878. Alternatively, a so-called amine wash can be performed.
  • Adsorptive processes are often a cheaper alternative to the separation and purification of mixtures compared to distillation methods. This is especially true in the separation or purification of gases that must first be transferred to the liquid phase for distillative separation.
  • a widely used adsorbent is activated carbon. However, this is problematic for safety reasons, because, for example, during its regeneration so-called smoldering can occur, which in turn constitute a fire hazard.
  • zeolitic molecular sieves are alternatives to the activated carbon.
  • their efficiency is limited in terms of uptake capacity and their separation efficiency. This applies in particular with regard to the enrichment of methane in methane-containing gas mixtures such as natural gas.
  • Further disadvantages of zeolites are the high sorption energy as well as disadvantageous kinetics in the separation, which can be shown, for example, in the fact that it is necessary to work with high gas flows.
  • the Applicant has developed a method by which a separation / depletion of methane from methane-containing mixtures is possible in a simple manner, by sorption of the methane-containing mixtures of certain organometallic mate- rials, which will be described in more detail below.
  • the method is the subject of the non-prepublished European patent application entitled “Adsorptive Enrichment of methane in methane-containing mixtures "with the registration number 05 027 616.1 from 16.12.2005 (Priority: DE 10 2004 061 238.2 from 20.12.2004).
