Description

[0001] METHOD FOR DEHYDROGENATING CARBOHYDRATE [0002]

The present invention relates to a process for dehydrogenating a variety of hydrocarbon feedstocks and more particularly to a dehydrogenation reaction system having two or more reaction zones in which a reactant stream flows continuously, the present invention relates to a dehydrogenation method of hydrocarbon in which only the reactor in which the problem occurs can be maintained by conducting the reaction by independently bypassing the reactor without shut-down the reactor.

The dehydrogenation reaction, such as dehydrogenation of propane with propylene and isobutane with isobutene, produces olefins which are more reactive than alkane feedstocks and which are easier to form coke, at relatively high temperatures used for dehydrogenation. Dehydrogenated hydrocarbons are needed in large quantities as starting materials in many industrial processes. Dehydrogenated hydrocarbons are used in the manufacture of detergents, anti-knocking gasolines and pharmaceutical products, and several types of plastics are produced by polymerization of olefins. For example, propylene is currently predominantly produced by dehydrogenation of a suitable hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon mixture. The dehydrogenation of the hydrocarbons proceeds to an endothermic reaction, and the heat of dehydrogenation necessary to achieve the desired conversion is achieved prior to catalytic dehydrogenation Or introduced into the reactor midway. The dehydrogenation reaction of hydrocarbons proceeds at a very high reaction temperature. Typical dehydrogenation reaction temperatures are above 500 ° C, often above 600 ° C or above 700 ° C. Also, since the catalyst used in the dehydrogenation reaction is irreversibly deactivated to a greater extent with increasing working time, much higher reaction temperatures are usually required with increasing working time.

The types of reactors used in conventional dehydrogenation processes are two types of reactors: moving bed type and fixed bed type. Of these, ) And has two or more reaction zones in which the reactant stream flows continuously.

1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a fluidized bed reactor for a conventional dehydrogenation reaction. The hydrocarbon feed gas stream is indicated by dashed lines. The dehydrogenation catalyst stream is indicated by a solid line. In the case where the hydrocarbon is dehydrogenated using the reactor 10 according to FIG. 1, the hydrocarbon feed gas stream flows into the first reactor 11, reacts with it, and is reheated by a heater (not shown) ), Reacts, passes through the same process to the third reactor (13), and is subjected to a separation process. Also, the dehydrogenation catalyst stream is continuously transported from the first reactor 11 to the third reactor 13 in the same manner as the hydrocarbon feed gas stream, and is transported to the regenerating catalyst regenerator 14.

In the moving bed type reactor in which two or more reactors are formed in series, there is a problem in that if the process is troublesome due to hydrocarbon gases, catalysts, or other reasons in a specific individual reactor, the entire process must be stopped and repaired. For maintenance, the temperature of the reactor and the catalyst which were operated at high temperature should be cooled down to room temperature, and after the maintenance, the process temperature should be increased again to the set temperature. Also, since the above processes must be performed at a very slow rate in order to minimize the loss of the reactor and the catalyst, there is a problem that the entire maintenance period is very delayed and thus the production amount is decreased.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to overcome the problems of the prior art described above, the object of the present invention is to provide a process for the dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons having two or more reaction zones in which a reactant stream flows continuously, The present invention provides a dehydrogenation method of hydrocarbon suitable for process maintenance by operating a dehydrogenation process by bypassing a reactor having a problem without closing the entire process.

The catalytic particles 3 pass through at least one inlet passage 9 which opens into the upper portion of the housing 1 from the catalyst inlet 8 at the upper end of the housing 1, Is introduced into the catalyst bed of the zone 6 and the catalyst is discharged through the plurality of catalyst outlet pipes 10 located in the lower part of the catalyst bed of the annular reaction zone 6 and transferred to the downstream reactor.

Catalyst screens (4,5) formed on the inside and outside of the catalyst bed are divided into an inner screen (4) and an outer screen (5). The inner screen 4 and the outer screen 5 are large enough to allow the fluid flow stream to pass through without any flow resistance or large pressure drop, but the mesh is small enough to allow the accommodated catalyst particles 3 to pass through, Size or a porous body.

Hereinafter, the dehydrogenation reaction in the dehydrogenation reactor of the present invention will be described. Referring to FIG. 6, the gaseous reactant introduced through the reactor inlet 2 is radially dehydrogenated from the hydrocarbons to the desired end product by passing through the annular reaction zone 6. The reactant stream radially emerging from the annular reaction zone 6 through the inner screen 4 leaves the dehydrogenation reactor 101 via the reactor outlet 7 and is sent for processing in the second dehydrogenation reactor 102 .

While the invention has been described in connection with various specific embodiments, it is to be understood that various modifications thereof will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the specification. Accordingly, the invention as described herein is intended to embrace such modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
