Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the endothermic, catalytic gas phase reaction of naphtha with hydrogen to benzene, wherein the reaction is carried out in 5 to 12 successive reaction zones under adiabatic conditions.
  • Naphta is an untreated petroleum distillate from the refining of oil or natural gas, from which, among other things, benzene is commonly extracted. Benzene, on the other hand, is an essential starting material for many other petrochemical products.
  • benzene is used in the chemical industry for the synthesis of many compounds, such as aniline, styrene, nylon, synthetic rubber, plastics, detergents, insecticides, dyes and many more.
  • many aromatics such as phenol, nitrobenzene, aniline, chlorobenzene, hydroquinone and picric acid are obtained by substitution.
  • the reactions which are essential in connection with the preparation of naphtha-type benzene are shown in the following formulas (I to IV).
  • the formula (I) refers to the conversion of cyclohexane as the proportion of naphtha to benzene, which is very endothermic and the formula (U) refers to the conversion of hexane to cycloxane, which in turn according to formula (I) are converted to benzene can.
  • the side reactions according to the formulas (in and IV), which can also take place during the production of benzene, are also indicated and are in particular exothermic reactions.
  • the benzene obtained from the reaction of formula (I) forms an essential starting material for further reaction, for example, to the aforementioned products.
  • the controlled supply of heat in processes for the production of benzene is important, since the position of the equilibrium of the abovementioned reaction according to the formula (I) is highly dependent on the temperature of the reaction zone and thus the yields and / or selectivities with respect to benzene can be controlled thereby , In particular, the undesirable side reactions according to formulas (IV-IV) can thus be at least partially suppressed.
  • EP 0 601 398 A1 discloses that for the preparation of BTX aromatics (benzene, toluene and xylene) the temperature level and the catalyst used have a significant influence on
  • Boiling point is characterized. This underlines the importance of accurate temperature control in such processes.
  • EP 0 601 398 A1 also discloses that it is now common practice to carry out catalytic reforming processes in a plurality of series-connected reactors in which catalysts are in the form of a fixed bed.
  • Reaction zone can be adjusted.
  • An adiabte mode of operation is not disclosed. The im

  • Support material which is preferably alumina, on which a layer of a
  • Platinum group metal is located with a promoter metal from group IVB of the Periodic Table of the Elements.
  • EP 0 601 398 A1 The method according to the disclosure of EP 0 601 398 A1 is disadvantageous since the disclosed isothermal procedure is very complicated and thus very expensive. In particular, in the production of basic chemicals, which include the benzene, but already affect minor procedural disadvantages serious on the economic usability of the overall process, which also discloses the EP 0 601 398 Al.
  • J. Ancheyta-Juarez et al. Disclose that it may be advantageous to carry out the reaction of naphtha to (among others) benzene in three to four, especially four reaction zones connected in series, wherein intermediate cooling may be provided between the aforementioned reaction zones ,
  • EP 1 251 951 (B1) discloses a device and the possibility of carrying out chemical reactions in the device, wherein the device is characterized by a cascade of reaction zones in contact with one another and heat exchanger devices, which are arranged in a composite with one another. The method to be carried out here is thus characterized by the contact of the various reaction zones with a respective heat exchanger device in the form of a cascade. There is no disclosure as to the usability of the apparatus and method of producing benzene.
  • EP 1 251 951 (B1) is carried out in a device the same as or similar to the disclosure regarding the device.
  • a significant amount of heat takes place by heat conduction between the reaction zones and the adjacent heat exchange zones.
  • the disclosure regarding the oscillating temperature profile can therefore only be understood as meaning that the temperature peaks ascertained here would be stronger if this contact did not exist. Another indication of this is the exponential increase in the disclosed temperature profiles between the individual temperature peaks. These indicate that a certain heat sink with appreciable but limited capacity in each reaction zone is present, which can reduce the temperature rise in the same. It can never be ruled out that a certain dissipation of heat (eg by radiation) takes place; However, a reduction of the possible heat removal from the reaction zone would indicate a linear or degressive temperature gradient, since no further addition of reactants is provided and thus, after an exothermic reaction, the reaction becomes slower and thus the generated heat of reaction would decrease.
  • EP 1 251 951 (B1) discloses multi-stage processes in cascades of reaction zones from which heat in an undefined amount is removed by heat conduction.
  • the disclosed process is not adiabatic and disadvantageous in that accurate temperature control of the reaction is not possible. This is especially true for the undisclosed possibility of an endothermic reaction in the reaction zones.
  • Benzene in the context of the present invention refers to a process gas which essentially comprises benzene.
  • the benzene may also include levels of hydrogen and other hydrocarbons.
  • hydrocarbons in the context of the present invention refer to substances present as process gas consisting of carbon, hydrogen and optionally oxygen. In essence, however, such hydrocarbons consist of carbon and hydrogen. - -
  • Such hydrocarbons are usually those which are introduced either as further constituents of naphtha in the process according to the invention, or those which are formed by side reactions in the process according to the invention, for example after the reactions according to formulas (HI and IV).
  • Non-conclusive examples of hydrocarbons which are introduced as further constituents of the naphtha in the inventive method are, for example, naphthalene, isopentane and toluene.
  • Non-conclusive examples of hydrocarbons formed by side reactions in the course of the process according to the invention, for example after the reactions according to the formulas (DI and FV), are for example hexane, cyclohexane and propane.
  • Naphta refers to a mixture of hydrocarbons as a process gas, as is well known to those skilled in the art.
  • naphtha is preferably a mixture of hydrocarbons which essentially comprises cyclohexane.
  • Hydrogen in the context of the present invention, denotes a process gas which essentially comprises hydrogen.
  • This hydrogen can be formed, for example, by the reactions according to the formulas (I and H) or else fed to the process as process gas.
  • a feeding of hydrogen as a process gas in the erf ⁇ ndungshiele method is preferred.
  • Preheated hydrogen is particularly preferably supplied as process gas to the process.
  • Such feeding of, in particular, hydrogen is advantageous because in this way the hydrogen can be used as the heat transfer medium in the method for controlling the temperature. Furthermore, the hydrogen prevents deposits of carbon products on the catalyst surfaces of the catalysts located in the reaction zones (coking).
  • the term essentially refers in the context of the present invention, a mass fraction and / or a molar fraction of at least 80%.
  • process gases The naphtha used in the process according to the invention, its constituents, the hydrogen, the benzene and the products of the process according to the invention are also referred to collectively below as process gases.
  • these process gases can also include secondary components.
  • secondary components include argon, nitrogen and / or carbon dioxide.
  • the implementation of the process under adiabatic conditions means that the reaction zone from the outside is essentially neither actively supplied with heat nor heat withdrawn. It is well known that complete isolation against heat input or discharge is possible only by complete evacuation, excluding the possibility of heat transfer by radiation. Therefore, in the context of the present invention, adiabat means that no heat supply or removal measures are taken.
  • An advantage of the adiabatic driving method according to the invention of the 5 to 12 reaction zones connected in series with respect to a non-adiabatic mode of operation is that no means for supplying heat have to be provided in the reaction zones, which entails a considerable simplification of the construction. This results in particular simplifications in the manufacture of the reactor and in the scalability of the process and an increase in reaction conversions.
  • Another advantage of the method according to the invention is the possibility of very accurate temperature control, due to the close staggering of adiabatic reaction zones. It can thus be set and controlled in each reaction zone advantageous in the reaction progress temperature.
  • the catalysts used in the process according to the invention are usually catalysts which consist of a material which, in addition to its catalytic activity for the reaction according to formula (I), is characterized by sufficient chemical resistance under the conditions of the process and by a high specific surface area.
  • Catalyst materials characterized by such chemical resistance under the conditions of the process include, for example, catalysts comprising platinum and / or rhenium.
  • Preferred catalyst materials consist of equal proportions by weight of rhenium and platinum.
  • Such catalysts can be applied to support materials.
  • Such support materials usually include alumina and / or titania. Preference is given to support materials of alumina.
  • catalysts consist of rhenium and platinum, which are applied to the same weight fraction on an alumina support. Methods for producing such catalysts are generally known to the person skilled in the art, for example from EP 0 601 398 A1.
  • a high specific surface area is a specific surface area of at least 1 m 2 / g, preferably of at least 10 m 2 / g.

  • Beds of such particles are advantageous because the size of the particles have a high specific surface of the catalyst material compared to the process gases and thus a high conversion rate can be achieved. Thus, the mass transport limitation of the reaction by diffusion can be kept low. At the same time, however, the particles are not yet so small that disproportionately high pressure losses occur when the fixed bed flows through.
  • the ranges of the particle sizes given in the preferred embodiment of the process, comprising a reaction in a fixed bed are thus an optimum between the achievable conversion from the reactions according to the formulas (I and II) and the pressure loss produced when carrying out the process. Pressure loss is coupled in a direct manner with the necessary energy in the form of compressor performance, so that a disproportionate increase in the same would result in an inefficient operation of the method.
