Cl. 208-81 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Process for the delayed coking of a liquid feed or a fraction thereof having a high content of condensed ring aromatic compounds and an initial boiling point of not less than 600 F., wherein the unit is operated at a coking heater temperature of 900-960 F., a coke drum overhead temperature of 840 F.900 F., and pressure of -90 p.s.i.g. and the coker combination fractionator is operated at a temperature and pressure to recover a heavy oil having an initial boiling point of 600 F.-750 F. The recycle of a portion of the overhead from the coking drums introduced into the fractionator is at a volumetric rate of 0.30.6:l, based on equivalent feed introduced into the coking heater. Operation of the delayed coking unit under the above conditions prevents the runaway reactions heretofore encountered when attempting to delay coke such feeds.
This invention relates to the production of coke and more particularly to a new and improved process for the delayed coking of liquid feed stocks having a high content of polynuclear aromatic compounds.
The delayed coking of petroleum derived residual, oils is one of the more important processes in the petrochemical industry in that both coke and a series of useful gas and liquid products may be produced thereby. Thus, the residual oils may be converted to C and lighter gases, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), light gasoline, heavy gasoline for catalytic reforming, light gas oil which may be treated to produce diesel or furnace oil and heavy gas oil for feed to a catalytic cracking operation.
Attempts have been made to apply delayed coking techniques to highly polynuclear aromatic feed stocks, such as coal tar pitches, but such attempts have met with little success, mainly due to the unstable nature of such feed stocks. Thus, prior workers have reported considerable coke laydown and foaming in the heater and runaway exothermic reactions in the heater and coke drums. Consequently, attempts to effect delayed coking of such highly polynuclear aromatic feeds have been virtually abandoned.
Accordingly, an object of this invention is to provide an effective process for the delayed coking of liquid feeds having a high content of polynuclear aromatic compounds.
Another object of this invention is to provide a new and improved process for the delayed coking of liquid feed stocks having a high content of polynuclear aromatic compounds that eliminates previously encountered problems.
A further object of this invention is to provide a process particularly adapted to producing coke and other useful products from coal tar pitches.
These and other objects of the invention should be readily apparaent from the following detailed description thereof.
The objects of this invention are broadly accomplished by effecting the delayed coking of a high boiling liquid feed stock having a high content of polynuclear aromatic compounds in a delayed coking unit of the type conventionally employed for the delayed coking of petroleum de 3,563,884 Patented Feb. 16, 1971 rived feed stocks, except that the unit is operated at a coke drum overhead temperature of between about 840 F. and about 900 F., preferably between about 860 F. and about 900 F., and a volumetric recycle ratio of between 5 about 03:1 and about 0.6:1, preferably between about 0.5 :1 and about 0.6:1, based on equivalent fresh feed. The term equivalent fresh feed as used herein means the total feed introduced into the coking heater after flashing therefrom material boiling below the end point of the light oil to be recovered. Thus, in the conventional delayed coking unit, the feed is introduced into the bottom of the coker fractionator and material below the end point of the light oil to be recovered in the fractionator is flashed therefrom. Thus, the equivalent fresh feed is the 15 total feed introduced into the fractionator minus the material flashed from the feed in the fractionator.
The liquid feeds treated in accordance with the invention have a high content; i.e., generally greater than about 70%, of condensed ring (polynuclear) aromatic compounds, both heterocyclic and isocyclic, and an initial boiling point no lower than about 600 F., generally an initial boiling point between about 600 F. and about 750 F., all converted to one atmosphere. A preferred feed is a coal tar pitch obtained by either the high temperature or low temperature carbonization of coal, as gen-r erally known in the art, the former feed particularly being generally characterized as completely comprised of condensed ring aromatic compounds (an estimated 5000 of such compounds), with two-thirds of the aromatic compounds being isocyclic and the remaining third heterocyclic. It is to be understood that the initial feed may be a feed which does not meet the hereinabove characteristics;
i.e., a feed with an initial boiling point no lower than about 600 F. and a condensed aromatic ring content of greater than about 70%; e.g., a coal tar, provided the feed is first introduced into the fractionator of the delayed coking unit to remove the lower boiling components. Consequently, the process of the invention is generally applicable to feeds from which may be recovered a liquid fraction having an initial boiling point of no lower than about 600 F. and a condensed aromatic ring content of greater than about 70% The invention will nOW be described in more detail with respect to the embodiment thereof illustrated in the drawing and it is to be understood that the scope of the invention is not to be limited thereby. It is further to be understood that equipment, such as valves, pumps, etc., have been omited from the drawing to facilitate the description thereof and the placing of such equipment at appropriate places is deemed to be within the scope of those skilled in the art.
Referring now to the drawing, a liquid feed, such as, soft coal tar pitch derived from the high temperature carbonization of coal, in line 10 is passed through heat exchanger 11 to effect heating thereof by indirect heat transfer with a heavy oil fraction, as hereinafter described, and introduced into the bottom of the coker combination fractionator 12, of a type known in the art, through line 13 to flash off material below the end point of the light gas oil tosbe recovered in the fractionator 12; i.e., material boiling below a temperature within the range between about 600 F. and about 750 F., preferably below about 600 F. The operation of the fractionator 12 will be hereinafter more fully described.
A combined feed comprised of equivalent feed having an initial boiling point of no less than about 600 F. (the equivalent feed is the feed introduced into fractionator 12 through line 13 minus the material flashed off in the fractionator 12) plus recycle, as hereinafter described, is withdrawn from the fractionator 12 through line 14 and introduced into a coking heater 15, of a type known in the art. The coking heater is operated so as to produce an outlet temperature of between about 900 F. and about 960 F. The coking heater 15 is operated as generally known in the art to prevent premature coking therein; i.e., the feed is maintained in turbulent motion or at a high velocity by providing temperature and pressure profiles in the heater that will produce partial vaporization of the feed, thereby preventing the coking problems caused by slow moving feed in the liquid state. In addition, controlled amounts of steam may be introduced into the coking heater 15 through line 16 at appropriate places to obtain the required turbulence or high velocity.
The heated combined feed is withdrawn from the coking heater 15 through line 17 and introduced into coke drums 18, of a type known in the art, wherein the heavier components of the feed are converted to coke and lighter components. The coking drums are operated at a pressure of between about 15 p.s.i.g. and about 90 p.s.i.g., preferably between about 25 and about 90 p.s.i.g. and an overhead temperature of between about 840 F. and about 900 F., preferably between about 860 F. and about 900 F. The coke is withdrawn from the drums 18 through line 19.
An overhead is withdrawn from the coke drums 18 through line 21 and introduced into the coker combination fractionator 12 to recover the various components, as known in the art. The fractionator is generally run at an overhead temperature between about 300 F. and about 400 F., a bottoms chimney temperature of about 750 F. to about 810 F. and a pressure between about 25 and about 40 p.s.i.g. The overhead from the coke drum, is separated in the fractionator 12 into a light oil generally having cut points between about 400 F. and 750 F., preferably between about 400 F. and about 600 F., a heavy oil having an initial boiling point within the range between about 600 F. and about 750 F preferably between about 600 F. and 700 F. and an overhead vapor stream comprised of distillate, generally boiling up to about 400 F., and gas.
In accordance with the invention, the heavy oil having an initial boiling point which falls somewhere within the range between about 600 F. and about 750 F., is withdrawn from the fractionator 12 through line 22, cooled in heat exchanger 11 by indirect heat transfer with the feed in line 10 and further cooled in heat exchanger 23 to a temperature suitable for inducing required recycle in fractionator 12, generally a temperature between about 400 F. and about 700 F., by indirect heat transfer with a suitable coolant, for example, boiler feed water. A portion of the cooled heavy oil from heat exchanger 23 is introduced into the fractionator 12 through line 25 at a rate to provide a volumetric recycle ratio of between about 0.3:1 and about 0.6:1, preferably between :1 and about 0611, based upon equivalent feed. Thus, the total recycle is comprised of the heavy oil fraction recovered from the coke drum overhead in fractionator 12, returned through line 25 and a condensed portion of the coke overhead vapors introduced through line 21, the condensation being induced by direct contact with the cooled heavy oil fraction. The remaining heavy oil from heat exchanger 23 is passed through line 26 to maintain desired operating conditions in the fractionator 12 and through line 27 to storage and/ or further treatment.
Although applicants do not wish to limit the invention by any theoretical reasoning, it is believed that by employing recycle ratios, as hereinabove described, the coke drum overhead temperature is maintained within the hereinabove described limits by vaporization and exothermic cracking of recycle in the coke drums thereby essentially eliminating the tendency toward an exothermic runaway reaction.
Numerous modifications of the invention are possible within the spirit and scope thereof. Thus, for example, the feed may be treated to effect vaporization of material below the end point of the light gas oil to be recovered in the delayed coking process in apparatus other than the coker combination fractionator. Similarly, the various heat transfer steps may be effected otherwise than as hereinabove described, for example, the feed to the combination fractionator may be heated in the coking heater or another heater.
The above modifications and numerous other modifications should be apparent to those skilled in the art from the teachings herein.
The invention is further illustrated by the following example, but the scope of the invention is not to be limited thereby.
EXAMPLE A soft tar pitch derived from the high temperature carbonization of coal, having the properties of Table I is coked in accordance with the conditions of Table II.

The fractionator 12 is operated at an overhead temperature of 355 F. and pressure of 25 p.s.i.g., and a bottoms chimney temperature of 800 F. and pressure of 30 p.s.i.g., whereby the initial boiling point of the equivalent feed is about 600 F. and the following liquid products are recovered, based on total feed.

Coke is produced at a rate of 21,600 lbs/hr. (55.40 wt. percent, based on fresh feed) and has the following properties:
Ash (wt. percent) 0.08 Sulfur (wt. percent) 0.36 Volatile matter (wt. percent) 7-14 Fixed carbon (wt. percent) 86-93 unlike coke obtained from crude petroleum derived feeds, has a very low sulfur content by virtue of decomposition of the predominately organic sulfur content of the pitch; the final product has about one-half the initial sulfur content of the pitch.
Furthermore, the coke produced in accordance with the invention has an extremely low ash content; from nil to a maximum of about 0.1, which makes the coke eminently suitable for the production of high purity metals; e.g., in the electrolytic reduction of alumina.
The liquid products recovered in the coker combination fractionator is similar to a commercial heavy tar distillate; i.e., the total distillate comprises aromatic fractions similar to those characterized in the coal tar industry as tar light oil, carbolic oil, naphthalene oil, and wash oil.
Numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings and, therefore, within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
