Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for the separation of hydrocarbons. More particularly, the invention relates to a process for the extractive crystallization of mineral oil fractions, by means of urea.
  • urea forms crystalline solid adducts with straight chain and slightly branched chain hydrocarbons but does not form solid compounds with naphthenes, highly branched compounds or aromatics.
  • a method has been developed for refining petroleum fractions by resolution of the fractions into chemical types by forming the above solid compounds, removing the remaining liquid phase (known as the urea adduction raffinate), decomposing the solid compounds and recovering from the product the liberated hydrocarbons (known as the urea adduction extract).
  • the urea is employed in solution in a solvent or solvent mixture which, in general, is not miscible with hydrocarbons.
  • the solution of urea must be saturated at the temperature of the reaction with hydrocarbons and there must be a certain quantity of urea present in addition to that necessary for saturation (at the temperature of the reaction), this excess urea constituting the available urea for reaction with the normal and slightly branched chain paraffins to produce the solid complex.
  • a dense emulsion generally of the oil in water type, and consisting of a continuous liquid phase, comprising the saturated solution of urea, and a discontinuous liquid phase, formed of hydrocarbons that have not reacted with the urea.
  • the emulsion carries in suspension, two solid phases, that is, solid complex crystals and surplus urea crystals which have not formed a complex.
  • the complex obtained usually takes the form of a mass of interlaced crystalline needles, of very large apparent volume.
  • the separation of rafiinate from the thick, thixotropic complex containing emulsion has been found very diflicult.
  • the complex emulsion obtained takes the form of a thick, thixotropic mass, the thixotropy of the emulsion being caused by the presence in great abundance of the urea/parafiin complex crystals and also by the presence of crystals of urea in excess of saturation at the operating temperature.
  • These complex and urea crystals have a marked tendency to form, by becoming entangled, sufficiently solid structures to offer opposition to the decantation of the droplets of unreacted hydrocarbons (that is, that rafiinate) present in the emulsion. It has now been found that under certain conditions of stirring, as hereinafter described, these tangled crystalline structures tend to disintegrate, thereby facilitating the separation of the liquid phases by decantation.
  • a process for the extractive crystallization of a hydrocarbon mixture comprising hydorcarbons of different chemical type as hereinbefore described, which comprises treating said hydrocarbon mixture with a solution of urea whereby there is formed an emulsion comprising a urea adduction raffinate phase and a phase comprising urea solution, said emulsion containing, in suspension, a solid urea adduct in the presence or absence of solid urea, and prior to and/or during separation of the liquid phases, stirring the mixture by causing a stream of bubbles of an inert gas to pass therethrough, whereby the solid materials pass into the lower, urea solution phase, the separation of the upper rafiinate phase being effected by decantation, thereafter recovering the extract from the remaining liquid phase.
  • the process is applied to the treatment of hydrocarbon mixtures comprising normal paraffins in admixture with other hydrocarbons and wherein the normal paraffins are recovered in the extract.
  • the process of the invention has been found to be particularly suitable for the treatment of mineral oil fractions, for example, petroleum distillation fractions for the recovery of normal parafiins.
  • the rate of bubbling of the gas through the crystal containing emulsion may be adjusted so as to separate rapidly almost the whole of the rafiinate retained by the crystals.
  • a gas distributor is provided at the bottom of the vessel in which decantation is carried out, this distributor suitably being in the form of a system of metal pipes or flexible plastic or synthetic rubber tubes, the pipes or tubes being perforated for the passage of the inert gas.
  • the perforations may consist of holes 0.5 mm. in diameter and spaced -15 centimetres apart.
  • the perforations may be provided by puncturing the walls of the tubing by means of a needle or similar instrument, the holes being preferably 4-5 mms. part.
  • the pipes or tubing should be laid within the vessel in such manner that an even distribution of bubbles is provided over the area of the bottom thereof.
  • the gas bubbling output should be suflicient to impart to the mass of the emulsion a jerky movement to break down the conglomeration of crystals and prevent them from reforming.
  • the separation of raffinate contained in the emulsion by the process of the present invention is not dependent upon the use of a particular urea solvent in the formation of the complex. If the urea solvent is partially miscible with the hydrocarbons, a mixture of raft'inate and solvent is decanted, and thereafter separated by any suitable means for example, distillation.
  • the process of the invention it is usually possible to separate the bulk of the raflinate from the emulsion within a short period of time, usually ranging from a few minutes to thirty minutes.
  • the time required depends on the consistency of the emulsion. It is, however, virtually impossible to separate, without an additional stage which will be described hereinafter, the whole of the raflinate present in the emulsion, even by extending the period of passing inert gas; indeed, microscopic droplets of raffinate will almost invariably remain fixed to the complex crystals suspended to the urea solution. These droplets are too small to be carried upwards by the gas passing through the mass of the urea solution.
  • the extract hydrocarbons after separation of the rafiinate, are recovered by heating the urea solution with the complex held in suspension in order to destroy the complex, thereby releasing normal and slightly branched parafiins and regenerating urea.
  • the droplets of raflinate that had remainder fixed to the crystals of the complex mix with the paraffins obtained by the destruction of the complex.
  • the extract separated by decanting at the surface of the solution of regenerated urea, therefore contains some highly branched-chained paraffin hydrocarbons, naphthenes and/ or aromatic hydrocarbons, derived from these droplets and constituting an impurity in respect of the normal hydrocarbons.
  • the extract obtained is usually a mixture of about normal paraffin and 20% other hydrocarbons.
  • This degree of purity which is, in general, very much greater than that obtainable by the industrial separation processes at present in use in the petroleum industry, provides a suitable feedstock for the manufacture of a large number of chemical derivatives.
  • a washing solvent consisting generally of a mixture of hydrocarbons is added to the remaining urea solution (said solution bearing the complex crystals in suspension). Thereafter, an emulsion of this mixture is formed by any suitable method, such as mechanical stirring.
  • the stage thus reached is analogous to that which preceded separation of the raflinate from the emulsion by bubbling, the solvent incorporated in the emulsion in the phase, consisting of urea solution and complex crystals, being separable under the same conditions as was the raffinate.
  • the solvent treated emulsion containing, in suspension, the solid urea adduct in the presence or abscence of solid urea is stirred by causing a stream of bubbles of an inert gas to pass therethrough, whereby the solid materials in suspension pass into the lower (urea solution) phase, the upper layer, comprising solvent and traces of rafiinate, being simultaneously or thereafter removed by decantation.
  • a variant of this method of washing consists of injecting the washing solvent straight into the feed of inert gas to the gas distributor.
  • Washing solvent can be formed of any suitable mixture of hydrocarbons, but, preferably, a petroleum fractlon is employed. However, as this washing is aimed at increasing the purity of the normal paraflins resulting from the destruction of the complex, it is usually desirable to select a solvent having a. distillation range that is distinct from that of the extract of normal paraflins to be obtained since, after washing the complex by the petroleum fraction, and after separating the fraction by bubbling through gas, microscopic droplets of this solvent fraction remain fixed to the crystals of the complex.
  • the extract is freed from urea-the droplets of solvent pass into the extract phase and constitute an impurity in the normal parafiins.
  • the washing agent used is a petroleum fraction of different volatility, preferably a fraction that is more volatile than the normal paraffins undergoing treatment, the final separation 'of the small amount of washing agent retained by the extract is an easy matter by fresh distillation.
  • the process forming the subject of the invention yields, on an average, an extract consisting of a mixture of 80 parts by weight of normal parafiins and 20 parts by weight of raflinate hydrocarbons.
  • extracts of even higher normal paraffin content is obtained.
  • the quantity of petroleum solvent required for the washing stage is relatively small and in a petroleum refinery the used washing solvent, together with entrained impurities, may be incorporated in fuels or other commercial products manufactured in the refinery. Alternatively the impurities may be separated from this washing solvent distillation.
  • the process according to the invention is applied to mixtures of hydrocarbons or petroleum fractions boiling within the range 80-350 C.
  • solvent for urea in the formation of the urea solution, the solvents particularly described in United States patent application Ser. No. 278,627.
  • the urea employed contains 0.5 to 5% by weight of biuret, as described in United States patent application Ser. No. 286,829.
  • Example 1 A solution of urea in 90% aqueous methanol wasprepared, which was saturated at 20 C. 12 parts of urea were added to 88 parts of this saturated solution at 20 C. to obtain a solution ofurea which, at 20 C., thus contained 12% more urea than is required for saturation. This solution was heated to dissolve all the surplus urea and then allowed to cool, while stirring vigorously.
  • the progress of the reaction was followed by taking a sample of the emulsion formed, centrifuging it to separate the hydrocarbons which had not reacted, and determining the density.
  • the density of the raflinate reached its maximum value after stirring for 20 minutes.
  • the remaining slurry of complex crystals and urea solution was heated at 60 C. to destroy the complex, thereby freeing the paraffins constituting the extract and regenerating the urea, which remained in the hot solution.
  • the extract, which formed an upper layer, was decanted.
  • Example 2 It was found that by the method of Examples 1 and 2, the separation of raflinate, by bubbling air, was very clear cut. Moreover, in Example 2, the presence of biuret in the urea greatly assisted the reaction, the resulting raffinate having a higher density (and thus lower normal parafiin content) and the extract having a lower density than that of Example 1, and thus a higher normal paraflin content.
  • Example 3 A solution as prepared of urea, together with 1% biuret, in a ternary solvent consisting of a mixture of methanol, water and ethylene glycol, the solution having the following'constitution:
  • the rafiinate was then separated by decanting, while bubbling air through the emulsion for 15 minutes, thereby breaking down the emulsion and permitting separation of the majority of the droplets of the rafiinate trapped in the complex crystals.
  • the urea solution/ complex slurry was heated to 60 C.
  • the extract thus obtained contained 79% paraflins.
  • Example 4 The operation described in Example 3 was repeated to the stage at which the raffinate was separatedby' decanting, under the action'of air bubbling.
  • the complex/urea solution slurry was mixed for 5 minutes with 30 parts of a 100-120 C. petroleum fraction under the action of mechanical stirring which emulsified the washing solvent in the phase formed by the solution of urea and complex.
  • the washing solvent was then rapidly separated by decantation while bubbling a moderate amount of air into the mass of the emulsion.
  • the decanted washing solvent carried along with it the greater part of the droplets of raflinate that'had remained trapped in the crystals of the complex.
  • the separated washingsolvent was'distilled to recover raffinate contained therein, this raffinate frac-' tion being added to the raflinate fraction obtained in'the first decantation stage.
  • the complex/urea solution slurry was heated at 60 C. to destroy the complex and free the urea.-
  • the extract was separated by decantation from the solution of regenerated urea and contained-a-small amount of washingsolvent that had remained attached to the crystals of the complex. This washingsolvent was separatedby distillation.
  • Example 4 illustrates the manufacture of normal parailins having a very high degree of purity.
  • Fig. .l is a diagrammatic representation of an industrial installation for the continuous operation of the process of the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a semidiagrammatic view in horizontal section and with parts in section of an emulsion separator such as is used in the installation of Fig. 1.
  • a petroleum fraction, constituting the feedstock, is delivered by pump 3 to line 21 and blended with a recycle material.
  • This recycle material consists of an emulsion of urea solution and raifinate containing complex crystals and solid urea in suspension and isdelivered by pump 4 and line 25.
  • the blend is passed by line 24 and further blended with urea solution.
  • the urea solution is supplied from storage tank 1 which is maintained at a temperature of 42 C., that is, slightly above urea saturation temperature, by the provision of a hot air jacket (not shown in the drawing). The provision of an air jacket is desirable to avoid local over-heating which would cause hydrolysis of the urea.
  • Urea solution is delivered by pump 2 to line 23 and after blending with materials from line 24 is passed by line 22 to mixer pump 5. The intimate mixture which takes place in line 22 and in pump 5 produces the emulsion required for the reaction.
  • the blending in of the recycle stream in the manner described is desirable since by operating in this manner it is possible to prevent the charge of fresh feedstock from directly contacting urea solution at 42 C. (which might lead to'frequent stoppages of the lines). Furthermore the recycle material at 20 C., meeting the urea solution at 42 C. causes a sudden and effective cooling of the latter, which is favorable to the formation of urea crystals ofsmall dimension and therefore also favorable to the rapid [formation of the complex.
  • the emulsion delivered by pump 5 is further cooled by passagethrough heat exchanger 6 to which cold water or any other suitable cooling fluid is supplied by line 7 andremoved 'by line 7'.
  • the cooled emulsion is withdrawn at 17 C. by line 29 and is passed to reactor 8, thence by line 30 to reactor 9; Recycle emulsion is withdrawn from line 30 by pump 4 and is returned for blending with fresh feedstock by line-25. During the passage through the reactors-the temperature rises from 17 C. to 20 C.
  • the reactors 8 and 9 are fitted with mechanical stirrers 31- and 32 respectively. From the top half of the reactor 9, the reacted emulsion passes into the separator 10.
  • the separator 10 is entirely closed and has a horizontal b'ase 'ab'ove' which is mounted a gas distributor 10a.
  • This distributor takes the form of a number of synthetic rubber pipes, having small perforations in their walls,
  • a fan 11 has an intake at the top of the separator 9 10 and continuously recycles gas to the distributor 10a, where the gas is forced out of the perforations, bubbles of gas (10b) thus constantly ascending through the emulsion.
  • the delivery of these gas bubbles 10b is regulated to effect the breakdown of the emulsion and carries to the surface drops of raffinate entrapped in the solid material suspended in the liquid phase.
  • the separator 10 may comprise a casing 41 as is depicted in Fig. 2. Headers 42 and 45 disposed at opposite ends of the casing are provided each with corresponding number of outlet pipes 43 connected together by synthetic rubber pipes 44, each having small perforations 46 in their upper surface.
  • a feed pipe 40 is connected to one or the other of the headers 42 and 45 and serves to supply recycled gas to the distributor to be forced out of the perforations 46 as above described.
  • the feed pipe 40 is connected to the header 42 as shown in Fig. 2 but it will be understood that the connection may be made to either or both of the headers.
  • Urea solution/complex slurry carrying with it micro scopic droplets of entrained raffinate, is removed from the bottom of the separator by pump 12.
  • This pump 12 is also supplied with a washing solvent consisting of a petroleum fraction which is more volatile than the petroleum fraction treated in the installation. Pump 12 emulsifies the washing solvent with the slurry, thereby producing intimate contact between the washing solvent and the crystals and freeing the latter from the remaining droplets of ratfinate.
  • the emulsion then passes into the separator 14 in which it is broken by gas bubbles 14b from distributor 14a which is identical, in construction, to the distributor 10a of separator 10. Gas from the top of the separator 14 is recycled by fan 13.
  • Washing solvent is separated at the surface and drained off at line 26. It carries away in solution the greater part of the droplets of raffinate derived from the slurry leaving the separator 10.
  • the waste washing solvent can, advantageously, be incorporated in liquid fuels.
  • this solvent can be blended with the feedstock to a redistillation unit for the production of, for example, solvents or white spirit. It is also possible to redistill the Washing solvent to recover the pure solvent and recycle it to separator 14, the small quantity of raffinate recovered in redistillation being added to the raffinate recovered by line 26.
  • the complex/urea solvent slurry after being washed by the washing solvent, is taken from the bottom of the separator 14 by pump 15, which delivers it to a heater 16 which is heated by steam or hot air to provide a product outlet temperature of 60 C.
  • a heater 16 which is heated by steam or hot air to provide a product outlet temperature of 60 C.
  • the complex is broken down, liberating, on the one hand, the extract consisting of normal parafiin and, on the other hand, the urea which passes into solution and reconstitutes the original urea solution.
  • the two phases are separated in the separator 17 by simple decantation at 60 C.
  • the extract is drawn off at the surface by line 27.
  • the urea solution at 60 C. still contains, dissolved or in suspension, a small quantity of extract. It is passed to a cooler 18, which lowers the temperature to 42 C., then to a separator 19 kept at 42 C. At that temperature a further quantity of extract separates and is drawn otf at the top of the separator by line 28. The extract can thereafter be washed with water (in an apparatus not shown in the drawing) and distilled to remove traces of the washing solvent contained therein.
