Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to a catalyst as well as the corresponding process for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons and light alkanes from hydrocarbonaceous feedstock.
    • BACKGROUND ART
  • Regarding the separation of aromatic hydrocarbons BTX,i.e.benzene, toluene and xylene, from non-aromatic hydrocarbons, some catalytic conversion processes have been developed in the prior art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,729,409 disclosed converting non-aromatic hydrocarbons to lower alkanes by hydrocracking reaction and then separating aromatic hydrocarbons from non-aromatic hydrocarbons through gas-liquid separation; U.S. Pat. No. 5,865,986 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,001,241 disclosed a process for upgrading naphtha fraction, wherein a zeolite-based catalyst is used in some reactors to improve the production of aromatic hydrocarbons; and CN1217892C disclosed a similar process, wherein reformate, pyrolysis gasoline and the like are upgrade to produce LPG and light aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • The acidic catalyst used in these catalytic conversion processes would deactivate quickly due to coke and/or carbon-deposition, although this can be alleviated by supporting the metals with high hydrogenation activity and the hydrogenation activity of the catalyst also can be adjusted by varying the amount and/or the distribution of the supported metals, however, too high hydrogenation activity on the metallic center may result in side reaction of saturation of aromatic rings. With this regard, U.S. Pat. No. 5,865,986 proposed to adjust the metallic activity with sulfur compounds. Furthermore, U.S. Pat. No. 6,001,241 proposed to use Pb or Bi to control the degree of hydrogenation.
  • On the other hand, the zeolite molecular sieve powder used for said catalysts are generally manufactured into shaped particles with certain mechanical strengths and shapes, and during this manufacture some binders e.g. oxides such as Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2 and the like as well as clay minerals are needed usually. This is because the shaped catalysts are widely used in industries and have to suffer from various stresses during its use, thus, sufficient mechanical strengths are necessary for ensuring the whole catalytic process to be conducted smoothly, otherwise if the shaped catalysts have poor mechanical strengths, some problems such as the lines being blocked by fine powders, the liquid being distributed unevenly, the pressure drop being increased and the like would be introduced, so as to lead to poor catalytic efficiency, and even a unexpected shut-down in worse case.
  • However, introduction of binders during shaping the zeolite powders would reduce the concentration of effective components in the zeolite particles, result in reduced effective surface area, thus the adsorption value would be reduced. This is because some binders would enter into part of channels of the zeolite or block part of pores of the zeolite, thus limiting the diffusion, resulting in poor adsorption ability and adsorption selectivity as well as reduced rates of adsorption and desorption, further the reduced activity and selectivity in the catalytic reactions; furthermore, undesired side reactions may be initiated in the presence of binders.
  • Regarding the above-mentioned disadvantages in connection with the introduction of binders during shaping the zeolite powders, the inventors have tried to develop a process for producing a binder-free zeolite, c.f. CN1915820A, which is incorporated herein by reference. The binder-free zeolite means that the shaped zeolite particles do not comprise inert binders, thus having high concentration of zeolite and large available surface area, furthermore, better properties in adsorption separation and ion exchange as well as better catalytic properties in some reactions are shown.
  • Based on the above-mentioned finding, the inventors further tried to develop a catalyst using said binder-free zeolite particles as support. Said catalyst has higher catalytic activity and stability and can be used for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons and light alkanes from hydrocarbonaceous feedstock.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention provides a catalyst for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons and light alkanes from hydrocarbonaceous feedstock, wherein the binder-free zeolite was used to support noble metals as catalytic active components, so the catalyst possesses the advantages such as large acid density, unobstructed pores, moderate hydrogenation activity and the like, thus possessing excellent activity and stability.
  • Furthermore, the present invention provides a process for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons and light alkanes from hydrocarbonaceous feedstock using said catalyst, which process makes the separation of hydrocarbonaceous feedstock easier and brings higher additional values to heavy aromatic hydrocarbons and non-aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • Specifically, the present invention provides a catalyst comprising metallic Pt and/or Pd supported on a binder-free zeolite for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons and light alkanes from hydrocarbonaceous feedstock, wherein the amount of metallic Pt and/or Pd is of 0.01-0.8 wt %, preferably 0.01-0.5 wt % on the basis of the total weight of the catalyst, and the binder-free zeolite is selected from the group consisting of mordenite, beta zeolite, Y zeolite, ZSM-5, ZSM-11 and composite or cocrystal zeolite thereof.
  • According to the catalyst of the present invention, the binder-free zeolite preferably is selected from the group consisting of ZSM-5, mordenite, beta zeolite, ZSM-5/USY composite zeolite, ZSM-5/beta composite zeolite, or ZSM-5/ZSM-11 cocrystal zeolite.

  • According to the catalyst of the present invention, the acidic center can be adjusted by varying the molar ratio SiO2/Al2O3 of the binder-free zeolite, and the hydrogenation activity can be adjusted by varying the supported amount of Pt and/or Pd as well as the distribution thereof, thus making the acidic center and metallic center of the catalyst match with each other.
  • Furthermore, when using Pt and Pd in combination as catalytic active metals, the catalyst of the present invention may possess better sulfur resistance without compromising the excellent hydrogenation property, thus it can be adapted to the feedstock comprising sulfur compounds such as pyrolysis gasoline very well. This is because when being used in combination rather than being present separately in the catalyst, some electrical or chemical effects are occurring between Pt and Pd by complex thereof, so that providing excellent hydrogenation and sulfur resistance properties.
  • The catalyst according to the present invention can be prepared as following: firstly synthesizing Na-type binder-free zeolite, converting the Na-type binder-free zeolite into H-type binder-free zeolite by ion exchange with ammonium salt solution or acid solution such as hydrochloric acid and the like followed by calcination, then supporting Pt and/or Pd as catalytic active metals thereon by ion exchange or impregnation, finally drying the obtained catalyst at a temperature of less than 200° C. and calcining the same at a temperature of 300-600° C.
  • During the above-mentioned preparation, the precursor of the catalytic active metals can be the aqueous solutions of palladium chloride, palladium nitrate, palladic chloride, palladous chloride, ammonium palladic chloride, ammonium palladous chloride, platinum nitrate, platinum chloride, platinic chloride, platinous chloride, ammonium platonic chloride, ammonium platinous chloride, tetraammineplatinum chloride and mixture thereof; furthermore, a promoter selected from the group consisting of Cu, Zn, Sn, Pb, Fe and mixture thereof can be added in amount of less than 1 wt %, preferably less than 0.6 wt % on the basis of the total weight of the catalyst to adjust the hydrogenation activity of the catalytic active metals.
  • Furthermore, the present invention provides a process for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons and light alkanes from hydrocarbonaceous feedstock, comprising the following steps:
  • (a) introducing hydrogen and a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock having boiling point in range of 30-250° C. into at least one reaction zone;
  • (b) converting the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock to an effluent enriched in light aromatic hydrocarbons of benzene, toluene and xylene and light alkanes in the reaction zone in the presence of the catalyst according to the present invention, wherein of the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock the heavy aromatic hydrocarbons are subjected to hydrodealkylation and/or transalkylation with light aromatic hydrocarbon, the light aromatic hydrocarbons are subjected to isomerization and the non-aromatic hydrocarbons are subjected to hydrocracking reaction; and
  • (c) recovering the light aromatic hydrocarbons and the light alkanes respectively by passing the effluent through gas-liquid separation and distillation sequentially, and the separated heavy fraction is recycled to the reaction zone for further reaction.
  • In the process for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons and light alkanes from hydrocarbonaceous feedstock according to the present invention, wherein:
  • in step (a), the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock is introduced into the reaction zone at a weight hour space velocity of 0.5-10 hr−1, preferably 1-4 hr−1, and the molar ratio of hydrogen to the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock is of 0.5:1-10:1, preferably 2:1-8:1, wherein the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock is selected from the group consisting of reformate, pyrolysis gasoline, naphtha and mixture thereof;
  • in step (b), the reaction temperature is of 250-600° C., preferably 300-500° C., and the reaction pressure is of 0.5-5.0 MPa, preferably 2.0-4.0 MPa; and
  • in step (c), passing the effluent through a gas-liquid separator to obtain first overhead stream comprising hydrogen, methane, ethane and LPG and first bottom stream comprising aromatic hydrocarbons as well as residual hydrogen and non-aromatic hydrocarbons, recovering LPG from the first overhead stream; and passing the first bottom stream through a distillation column to obtain second overhead stream comprising residual hydrogen and non-aromatic hydrocarbons and second bottom stream comprising aromatic hydrocarbons, further recovering LPG from the second overhead stream, and recovering aromatic hydrocarbons from the second bottom stream.
  • In the process for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons and light alkanes from hydrocarbonaceous feedstock according to the present invention, a target product can be obtained by varying the feedstock or the composition of the feedstock, e.g. a feedstock with high concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons such as reformate and pyrolysis gasoline can be used to improve the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons, and a feedstock with high concentration of non-aromatic hydrocarbons such as naphtha can be used to obtain LPG primarily.
  • In the process for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons and light alkanes from hydrocarbonaceous feedstock according to the present invention, in the presence of the catalyst according to the present invention, benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX), which are important raw organic materials in petrochemical industry, can be obtained through some simultaneous reactions of hydrocracking reaction of non-aromatic hydrocarbons as well as hydrodealkylation, transalkylation and isomerization of aromatic hydrocarbons; at the same time, light alkanes including LPG are produced as by products.
  • In the process for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons and light alkanes from hydrocarbonaceous feedstock according to the present invention, of the reactions in step (b), hydrocracking reaction is most important because the non-aromatic hydrocarbons in the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock are hydrocracked into light alkanes enriched in LPG, thus the solvent extraction and the like are not necessary for the separation of aromatic hydrocarbons from non-aromatic hydrocarbons; furthermore, hydrodealkylation, transalkylation and isomerization upgrade the aromatic hydrocarbons in the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock, e.g., C9 + aromatic hydrocarbons used as fuel oils can be converted into benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX) through dealkylation, toluene and xylene can be produced through transalkylation between benzene and C9 + aromatic hydrocarbons, and C8 aromatic hydrocarbons can be subjected to isomerization furthermore; on the other hand, some olefinic intermediates such as ethylene and propylene can be produced during hydrocracking and dealkylation, however, they will be hydrogenated to saturation quickly, so the catalyst will not deactivate due to the coke resulted from olefins polymerization and the aromatic hydrocarbons in the product will not degrade due to transalkylation between olefins and light aromatic hydrocarbons.
