Description
本発明は炭化水素油の水素化精製方法に関し、詳細には、水素の存在下に所定の触媒を用いて炭化水素油の水素化精製を行うことにより、原料炭化水素油中の硫黄を除去しながら、生成油のセタン価を向上させる水素化精製方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for hydrorefining hydrocarbon oil, and more specifically, removing sulfur in a raw hydrocarbon oil by hydrotreating hydrocarbon oil using a predetermined catalyst in the presence of hydrogen. The present invention also relates to a hydrorefining method for improving the cetane number of product oil.
近年、環境に優しいクリーンな液体燃料への要求が急速に高まってきている。例えば、軽油の品質に着目した場合、硫黄分を１０質量ｐｐｍ以下にし、かつセタン指数（またはセタン価）を５０以上にする必要がある。そのため石油会社は触媒の改良や設備の増設等によりクリーン燃料を製造する体制をとってきた。 In recent years, the demand for environmentally friendly clean liquid fuels has increased rapidly. For example, when focusing on the quality of light oil, it is necessary to set the sulfur content to 10 ppm by mass or less and the cetane index (or cetane number) to 50 or more. For this reason, oil companies have taken a system to produce clean fuel by improving the catalyst and adding equipment.
一般に、軽油留分の水素化精製は固定床反応塔に脱硫触媒を充填し、水素気流中、高温高圧の反応条件下で行なわれる。脱硫触媒としてはアルミナを担体として、そこに活性金属であるモリブテンやコバルトが担持されたものがよく用いられる。この時の脱硫活性は担体の種類または調製方法、活性金属の種類や担持量などにより大きく影響され、例えば非特許文献１にはアルミナ以外の担体の脱硫活性に及ぼす影響について報告されている。また、担体にアモルファス固体酸を用いることで、水素化活性が大きく向上するといった報告もある（非特許文献２）。 In general, hydrorefining of a light oil fraction is performed under a reaction condition of high temperature and high pressure in a hydrogen stream by filling a fixed bed reaction tower with a desulfurization catalyst. As the desulfurization catalyst, a catalyst in which alumina is used as a carrier and active metals such as molybdenum and cobalt are supported thereon is often used. The desulfurization activity at this time is greatly influenced by the type or preparation method of the support, the type of active metal, and the amount supported. For example, Non-Patent Document 1 reports the effect on the desulfurization activity of a support other than alumina. There is also a report that hydrogenation activity is greatly improved by using an amorphous solid acid as a carrier (Non-patent Document 2).
上述の水素化精製は、石油から分留して得られた軽油留分を中心とした処理方法であるが、将来の石油枯渇を考えると、オイルサンド由来のビチューメン改質油や合成原油などの処理に対応した炭化水素油の水素化精製は重要となる。
石油からの中間留分と比較して、オイルサンド由来の中間留分を含む炭化水素油はナフテン分や芳香族分が多いためにセタン価（またはセタン指数）が非常に低い。従って、オイルサンド由来の中間留分を含む炭化水素油の水素化精製では、単に脱硫するだけではなく、セタン価を向上することも必要となる。
The above-mentioned hydrorefining is a treatment method centered on light oil fractions obtained by fractional distillation from petroleum, but considering future oil depletion, bitumen reformed oil derived from oil sands, synthetic crude oil, etc. Hydrorefining of hydrocarbon oil corresponding to the treatment is important.
Compared with the middle distillate from petroleum, the hydrocarbon oil containing the middle distillate derived from oil sand has a very low cetane number (or cetane index) due to its high naphthene content and aromatic content. Therefore, in the hydrorefining of hydrocarbon oil containing middle distillate derived from oil sand, it is necessary not only to desulfurize but also to improve the cetane number.
これまでの軽油留分の水素化精製触媒は、原油から分留された軽油留分を処理する為に開発されてきたため、オイルサンド由来の合成原油などから分留されたナフテン分や芳香族分が多くセタン価の低い中間留分を多く含む炭化水素油の処理に対応することが出来ない。
このような炭化水素油のセタン価を向上させる為にはナフテン開環が不可欠であり、そのためには触媒として酸性質を有するアモルファス固体酸やゼオライトを活用することが出来る。
しかしながら、ゼオライト触媒はナフテンを開環するものの分解活性が高い為に、軽油が軽質化し、その結果セタン価が減少するために使用が避けられてきた。また、ゼオライト触媒はセタン価が高いノルマルパラフィンやイソパラフィンを容易に分解してしまうのでセタン価向上には不向きであると考えられてきた。
本発明の目的は、原油に限らず、オイルサンド由来の中間留分を含有する、ナフテン分や芳香族分を多く含むセタン価の低い炭化水素油に対して、セタン価を向上させる炭化水素油の水素化精製方法を提供することにある。
Conventional hydrorefining catalysts for diesel oil fractions have been developed to treat diesel oil fractions fractionated from crude oil, so naphthenes and aromatics fractionated from synthetic crude oil derived from oil sands, etc. However, it cannot cope with the treatment of hydrocarbon oil containing a large amount of middle distillate having a high cetane number.
In order to improve the cetane number of such hydrocarbon oil, naphthene ring opening is indispensable. For this purpose, an amorphous solid acid or zeolite having acid properties can be used as a catalyst.
However, zeolite catalysts that have opened naphthene have high cracking activity, so that light oil has become lighter and, as a result, cetane number has been reduced, so that use has been avoided. In addition, zeolite catalysts have been considered unsuitable for improving cetane number because they easily decompose normal paraffin and isoparaffin having a high cetane number.
The object of the present invention is not limited to crude oil, but is a hydrocarbon oil containing a middle distillate derived from oil sand and having a high cetane number compared to a hydrocarbon oil having a low cetane number and containing a large amount of naphthenes and aromatics. It is in providing the hydrorefining method of this.
本発明者らは前記課題について鋭意検討した結果、ナフテンおよび芳香族を多く含むセタン価の低い原料炭化水素油に対し、ゼオライトを含まない触媒と平均粒子径が０．５μｍ以下の微結晶ＵＳＹゼオライトを含む触媒とを組合わせて水素化精製することで、軽質化を抑制すると共に生成油のセタン価が向上することを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。 As a result of intensive studies on the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have found that a catalyst containing no zeolite and a microcrystalline USY zeolite having an average particle size of 0.5 μm or less with respect to a raw hydrocarbon oil containing a large amount of naphthene and aromatics and having a low cetane number It has been found that by performing hydrorefining in combination with a catalyst containing, the lightening is suppressed and the cetane number of the produced oil is improved, and the present invention has been completed.

以下に本発明を詳述する。
本発明において原料として用いられる炭化水素油は、沸点範囲１６０〜２３０℃の留分を５〜５０質量％、好ましくは１０〜４０質量％含んで構成される沸点範囲が１６０〜３９０℃の留分を８０質量％以上、好ましくは９０質量％以上、より好ましくは９５〜１００質量％含み、かつナフテンおよび芳香族をそれぞれ２５質量％以上含んだ留分である。この留分の由来は特に限定されないが、石油系の原油、オイルサンド由来の合成原油、ビチューメン改質油、石炭液化油などを挙げることができる。本発明においては、ナフテン分や芳香族分を多く含むセタン価の低い炭化水素油に対してセタン価を向上させることができるため、オイルサンド由来の中間留分を含有する炭化水素油に対してきわめて有効である。なお、原料として用いられる炭化水素油のセタン価は特に限定されるものではないが、通常５０未満である。

The present invention is described in detail below.
The hydrocarbon oil used as a raw material in the present invention is a fraction having a boiling point range of 160 to 390 ° C. comprising 5 to 50% by mass, preferably 10 to 40% by mass of a fraction having a boiling range of 160 to 230 ° C. Is a fraction containing 80% by mass or more, preferably 90% by mass or more, more preferably 95 to 100% by mass, and each containing 25% by mass or more of naphthene and aromatic. The origin of this fraction is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include petroleum-based crude oil, synthetic crude oil derived from oil sand, bitumen reformed oil, and coal liquefied oil. In the present invention, since the cetane number can be improved with respect to a hydrocarbon oil having a low cetane number and containing a large amount of naphthene and aromatics, the hydrocarbon oil containing a middle fraction derived from oil sand Very effective. The cetane number of the hydrocarbon oil used as a raw material is not particularly limited, but is usually less than 50.
When the ratios of naphthene and aromatic in the raw material hydrocarbon oil are each less than 25% by mass, lightening due to the reaction is likely to occur, and the cetane number is remarkably lowered. On the other hand, a hydrocarbon oil having a naphthene ratio of 40% by mass or more is preferable because the cetane number can be greatly improved. Moreover, when the fraction in the range of boiling point 160-390 degreeC is less than 80 volume%, since it exists in the tendency for a cetane number to fall by lightening, it is unpreferable.
In addition, the boiling point range here is based on the distillation property calculated | required based on JISK2254 "petroleum product-distillation test method", and naphthene content is quantified by mass spectrometry after classifying paraffin content with a silica gel column. The aromatic content is the value obtained by column separation using silica gel, and the cetane number is JIS K2280 “Petroleum products-fuel oil-octane number and cetane number test method and cetane index calculation. It means the cetane number obtained based on "Method".
本発明において原料炭化水素油の水素化精製は、固定床反応装置に触媒を充填して水素雰囲気下、高温高圧条件下で行なわれる。
反応圧力（水素分圧）は２〜１０ＭＰａが好ましく、より好ましくは３〜７ＭＰａである。２ＭＰａ未満では脱硫活性が著しく低下する傾向にあり、また、１０ＭＰａを超えると水素消費が大きくなり運転コストが増加すると共に、軽質分の生成が増加するので好ましくない。
反応温度は３００〜３８０℃の範囲が好ましく、より好ましくは３２０〜３７０℃である。３００℃未満では脱硫活性およびセタン価が低下する傾向にあり実用的でない。また、３８０℃を超えると軽質分の生成が顕著になるので好ましくない。
液空間速度は特に制限されないが、０．２〜４ｈ−１が好ましい。０．２ｈ−１未満では処理量が低いので生産性が低くなり実用的ではない。また、４ｈ−１を超えると反応温度が高くなり、軽質化によるセタン価低下が見られる傾向にあるので好ましくない。
水素／油比は１５０〜６００Ｎｍ３／ｋＬの範囲が好ましく、より好ましくは２００〜５８０Ｎｍ３／ｋＬである。水素／油比が１５０Ｎｍ３／ｋＬ未満では脱硫活性が大きく低下する傾向にあるので好ましくない。また、６００Ｎｍ３／ｋＬを超えてもセタン価向上に大きな変化がなく、運転コストが増加するだけなので好ましくない。
In the present invention, the hydrorefining of the raw hydrocarbon oil is carried out under a high-temperature and high-pressure condition in a hydrogen atmosphere by filling a catalyst in a fixed bed reactor.
The reaction pressure (hydrogen partial pressure) is preferably 2 to 10 MPa, more preferably 3 to 7 MPa. If it is less than 2 MPa, the desulfurization activity tends to decrease remarkably, and if it exceeds 10 MPa, the hydrogen consumption increases and the operating cost increases, and the production of light components increases, which is not preferable.
The reaction temperature is preferably in the range of 300 to 380 ° C, more preferably 320 to 370 ° C. Below 300 ° C., the desulfurization activity and cetane number tend to decrease, which is not practical. Moreover, since production | generation of a light part will become remarkable when it exceeds 380 degreeC, it is unpreferable.
The liquid space velocity is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.2 to 4 h −1 . If it is less than 0.2h- 1 , the throughput is low, so the productivity is low and it is not practical. On the other hand, if it exceeds 4 h −1 , the reaction temperature tends to be high, and the cetane number tends to decrease due to lightening, which is not preferable.
The hydrogen / oil ratio is preferably in the range of 150 to 600 Nm 3 / kL, more preferably 200 to 580 Nm 3 / kL. A hydrogen / oil ratio of less than 150 Nm 3 / kL is not preferable because the desulfurization activity tends to be greatly reduced. Moreover, even if it exceeds 600 Nm 3 / kL, there is no significant change in cetane number improvement, which is not preferable because it only increases the operating cost.
本発明における水素化精製は固定床反応装置を用いて行われ、この反応塔にはゼオライトを含まない触媒およびＵＳＹゼオライトを含む触媒が充填される。
ゼオライトを含まない触媒の担体は特に限定されず、アルミナやシリカの他に、シリカアルミナ、シリカチタニア、シリカジルコニア、アルミナボリアなどのアモルファス固体酸を使用することができる。アモルファス固体酸を担体とした方がセタン価が向上する傾向にあるので好ましい。
また、ゼオライトを含まない触媒は、上記担体に周期表第６族から選ばれる少なくとも１種類以上の金属が担持されて用いられる。担持金属として特に好ましいのはモリブテンおよびタングステンである。触媒全体に対するこの金属担持量は５〜３０質量％が好ましい。５質量％未満および３０質量％を超えた場合、脱硫活性が大きく減少するので好ましくない。担持方法に特に制限はないが、容易でかつ経済的なＩｎｃｉｐｉｅｎｔ Ｗｅｔｎｅｓｓ法が最も良い。
また、助触媒としてコバルト、ニッケルまたは両者を周期表第６族金属と共に担持することはセタン価が向上するので好ましい。触媒全体に対する助触媒の担持量に特に制限はないが、通常０．２〜８質量％の範囲で担持して使用することが出来る。
The hydrorefining in the present invention is performed using a fixed bed reactor, and this reaction tower is filled with a catalyst containing no zeolite and a catalyst containing USY zeolite.
The support of the catalyst not containing zeolite is not particularly limited, and amorphous solid acids such as silica alumina, silica titania, silica zirconia, and alumina boria can be used in addition to alumina and silica. It is preferable to use an amorphous solid acid as a carrier because the cetane number tends to be improved.
In addition, the catalyst containing no zeolite is used with at least one metal selected from Group 6 of the periodic table supported on the carrier. Particularly preferred as supported metals are molybdenum and tungsten. The amount of the metal supported on the entire catalyst is preferably 5 to 30% by mass. If it is less than 5% by mass or more than 30% by mass, the desulfurization activity is greatly reduced, which is not preferable. The supporting method is not particularly limited, but the easy and economical Incipient Wetness method is the best.
In addition, it is preferable to support cobalt, nickel, or both together with a group 6 metal of the periodic table as a cocatalyst because the cetane number is improved. There is no particular limitation on the amount of the cocatalyst supported with respect to the entire catalyst, but it can be supported and used usually in the range of 0.2 to 8% by mass.
ＵＳＹゼオライトを含む触媒の担体は、ＵＳＹゼオライトおよびバインダーから成る。ここで使用されるＵＳＹゼオライトは平均粒子径が０．５μｍ以下であり、より好ましくは０．３μｍ以下である。この平均粒子径が０．５μｍを超えると生成油のセタン価が低下する傾向にあるので好ましくない。
ＵＳＹゼオライトのケイバン比（シリカ／アルミナのモル比）に特に制限はないが、３０〜１００が好ましく、より好ましくは４０〜７０である。ケイバン比が３０未満の場合、軽質化が進行しやすく、結果としてセタン価が低下する傾向にあるので好ましくない。また、ケイバン比が１００を超えるとナフテンの開環が起こりにくくなり、結果としてセタン価向上が見られなくなる傾向にあるので好ましくない。担体に対するＵＳＹゼオライトの質量割合に制限はないが、通常５〜７０質量％、好ましくは１０〜５０質量％の範囲で使用することが出来る。５質量％未満ではナフテンの開環が不十分となる傾向にあり、また７０質量％を超えると触媒強度が弱くなる傾向にあるので好ましくない。
バインダーは特に制限がなく、アルミナ、シリカ、チタニア、シリカアルミナ、シリカジルコニア、シリカチタニア、アルミナボリアなどを用いることが出来る。
The support of the catalyst containing USY zeolite consists of USY zeolite and a binder. The USY zeolite used here has an average particle size of 0.5 μm or less, more preferably 0.3 μm or less. If this average particle diameter exceeds 0.5 μm, the cetane number of the product oil tends to decrease, such being undesirable.
Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the cayban ratio (silica / alumina molar ratio) of USY zeolite, 30-100 are preferable, More preferably, it is 40-70. When the Keiban ratio is less than 30, lightening is likely to proceed, and as a result, the cetane number tends to decrease, such being undesirable. On the other hand, when the Keiban ratio exceeds 100, naphthene ring-opening is difficult to occur, and as a result, the cetane number tends not to be improved. Although there is no restriction | limiting in the mass ratio of the USY zeolite with respect to a support | carrier, Usually, 5-70 mass%, Preferably it can use in the range of 10-50 mass%. If it is less than 5% by mass, ring opening of naphthene tends to be insufficient, and if it exceeds 70% by mass, the catalyst strength tends to be weak, which is not preferable.
The binder is not particularly limited, and alumina, silica, titania, silica alumina, silica zirconia, silica titania, alumina boria and the like can be used.
ＵＳＹゼオライトを含む触媒は、上記担体に周期表第６族から選ばれる少なくとも１種類以上の金属が担持されて用いられる。担持金属として特に好ましいのはモリブテンおよびタングステンである。触媒全体に対するこの金属担持量は５〜３０質量％が好ましい。５質量％未満および３０質量％を超えた場合、脱硫活性が大きく減少するので好ましくない。担持方法に特に制限はないが、容易でかつ経済的なＩｎｃｉｐｉｅｎｔ Ｗｅｔｎｅｓｓ法が最も良い。
また、助触媒としてコバルト、ニッケルまたは両者を周期表第６族金属と共に担持することは脱硫活性およびセタン価が向上するので好ましい。触媒全体に対する助触媒の担持量に特に制限はないが、通常０．２〜８質量％の範囲で担持して使用することが出来る。
The catalyst containing USY zeolite is used by supporting at least one metal selected from Group 6 of the periodic table on the carrier. Particularly preferred as supported metals are molybdenum and tungsten. The amount of the metal supported on the entire catalyst is preferably 5 to 30% by mass. If it is less than 5% by mass or more than 30% by mass, the desulfurization activity is greatly reduced, which is not preferable. The supporting method is not particularly limited, but the easy and economical Incipient Wetness method is the best.
Further, it is preferable to support cobalt, nickel, or both together with a Group 6 metal of the periodic table as a cocatalyst because desulfurization activity and cetane number are improved. There is no particular limitation on the amount of the cocatalyst supported with respect to the entire catalyst, but it can be supported and used usually in the range of 0.2 to 8% by mass.
ゼオライトを含まない触媒とＵＳＹゼオライトを含む触媒の充填割合は特に制限はないが、全触媒量に対する後者の割合が５〜５０容量％が好ましく、より好ましくは１０〜４０容量％である。５容量％未満ではナフテンの開環が起こりにくく、セタン価向上が減少する傾向にあるので好ましくない。また、５０容量％を超えると軽質化によりセタン価向上が減少する傾向にあるので好ましくない。 The filling ratio of the catalyst not containing zeolite and the catalyst containing USY zeolite is not particularly limited, but the latter ratio to the total catalyst amount is preferably 5 to 50% by volume, more preferably 10 to 40% by volume. If it is less than 5% by volume, naphthene ring-opening hardly occurs and the improvement in cetane number tends to decrease, such being undesirable. On the other hand, if it exceeds 50% by volume, the improvement in cetane number tends to decrease due to lightening, which is not preferable.
ゼオライトを含まない触媒とＵＳＹゼオライトを含む触媒の充填方法は特に制限はないが、両者を均一に物理混合して充填する方法および触媒層が固定床反応装置の入り口からゼオライトを含まない触媒、ＵＳＹゼオライトを含む触媒、ゼオライトを含まない触媒の順に積層充填する方法がセタン価をより向上させることができるので好ましい。 There are no particular restrictions on the method of filling the catalyst containing no zeolite and the catalyst containing USY zeolite, but a method of filling both the materials by uniformly physically mixing them and a catalyst whose catalyst layer does not contain zeolite from the inlet of the fixed bed reactor, USY A method of laminating and filling a catalyst containing zeolite and a catalyst not containing zeolite is preferable because the cetane number can be further improved.
本発明の水素化精製方法により、原料炭化水素油に対しセタン価が向上した生成油を得ることができる。得られる生成油のセタン価は好ましくは５０以上である。また、生成油の硫黄分は１０質量ｐｐｍ以下であり、好ましくは５質量ｐｐｍ以下である。 By the hydrorefining method of the present invention, a product oil having an improved cetane number with respect to the raw hydrocarbon oil can be obtained. The cetane number of the resulting product oil is preferably 50 or more. The sulfur content of the product oil is 10 ppm by mass or less, preferably 5 ppm by mass or less.
