Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the production and isolation of low molecular weight olefins, and in particular to the production and isolation of ethylene and propylene.
- a well known process is the steam cracking of paraffinic hydrocarbons containing two or more carbon atoms. Such processes, involve the pyrolysis of the hydrocarbon at high temperature. The heat required for the pyrolysis is provided by indirect heat transfer from a radiant furnace.
- An alternative process is the production of olefins from an oxygenated feed such as methanol.
- the oxygenate feed is contacted with a suitable catalyst which is typically a molecular sieve.
- a suitable catalyst typically a molecular sieve.
- This process is disclosed in US 5744680, US 4912281 and US 5028400. This process has the advantage that the olefin can be obtained from a feed containing one carbon atom, the selectivity to ethylene and propylene is greater than the conventional steam cracking process and the operating temperature is significantly less.
- cryogenic distillation which is a multi-stage process comprising (1) a first step of separating and removing methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen via a demethaniser; (2) a second step of separating C 2 /C 3 hydrocarbons from the heavier hydrocarbons; (3) a third step of hydrogenating the C 2 /C 3 acetylenic compounds to ethylene and propylene; and (4) a fourth step of separating ethylene from ethane and of separating propylene from propane.
- the present invention provides a process for the production and recovery of light olefins, said process comprising the steps of
- the present invention provides an effective, efficient and inexpensive means of producing and isolating the highly desirable light olefins.
- the feedstock of the present process is an oxygenated feedstock.
- Suitable examples of an oxygenated feedstock include alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones and mixtures thereof.
- the oxygenate feed may comprise 1 to 10 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
- the preferred oxygenate feed is methanol.
- the feedstock may be diluted with a diluent such as steam, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane and other light paraffinic hydrocarbons.
- a diluent such as steam, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane and other light paraffinic hydrocarbons.
- the feedstock and optional diluent is contacted with a catalyst capable of converting the oxygenate feed to olefins.
- the catalyst is a molecular sieve. Suitable catalysts include silico alumino phosphates, for example SAPO 34 and SAPO 17, zeolites for example ZSM-5 and ZSM-11.
- the conversion process is carried out under conditions suitable for the production of olefins. Suitably, the process is carried out in the liquid or vapour phase. It is preferred to carry out the process in the vapour phase.
- the process is carried out at a temperature of from 200 to 700°C, preferably from 300 to 500°C and under a pressure of from 0.001 to 1000 atmospheres, preferably from 0.01 to 100 atmospheres.
- the conversion process may be carried out in any suitable reactor, for example a fixed bed, fluid bed or spouted bed reactor.
- the products of the process comprise light olefins, e.g. ethylene and propylene in addition to butyl enes and small amounts of hydrogen, carbon oxides, methane, acetylenes, ethane, propane, butanes and higher hydrocarbons.
- the products may also comprise water, which should be removed, preferably, prior to the olefin recovery step b).
- the products of the conversion process are contacted with a solution of a metallic salt.
- the product stream is pre-treated prior to contact with the metallic salt.
- the pre-treatment step may comprise one or more of amine scrubbing, catalytic oxidation and/or reduction and other steps, known to those skilled in the art, to remove components such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen, oxygenates and the like which may be present in small amounts.
- C 4 and heavier hydrocarbons may also be removed in a like manner.
- the product stream is contacted with a solution of a metallic salt which is capable of chemically absorbing the light olefinic products.
- Suitable metallic salts include salts of chromium, copper (1), manganese, nickel, iron, mercury, silver, gold, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium, molybdenum, tungsten and rhenium.
- the preferred metallic salt is a copper (1) salt or a silver salt.
- the salt may be an acetate, nitrate, sulphate, carboxylate and borates.
- the preferred salt is a nitrate e.g. copper (1) nitrate, silver nitrate. Equally preferred is silver fluoroborate.
- the solution of metallic salt is suitably an aqueous solution and may comprise an organic nitrogen-containing compound such as pyridine, piperidene, hydroxy- propionitrile, diethylene triamine, acetonitrile, formamide, acetamide and derivatives thereof.
- organic nitrogen-containing compound such as pyridine, piperidene, hydroxy- propionitrile, diethylene triamine, acetonitrile, formamide, acetamide and derivatives thereof.
- the concentration of metal salt to nitrogen-containing compound in the aqueous solution is in the range from 1 : 1 to 1 :6, preferably 1 :2.
- the concentration of metal salt in the solution is suitably at least 0.5 moles of salt per litre of solvent, preferably at least 2 moles of salt per litre of solvent.
- the process for isolating the ethylene and propylene comprises contacting the product stream obtained from the oxygenate conversion process with a metal complex which is capable of complexing or absorbing ethylene and/or propylene.
- the separation process may be carried out by any suitable means known to the person skilled in the art.
- the first stage of the separation process can be carried out in an absorber column designed to provide efficient contacting between the gas mixture and the complexing solution.
- the absorption stage of the process can utilise a hydrophobic hollow fibre membrane.
- the complexing reaction is carried out at a temperature of from -10 to 300°C, preferably from 5 to 70°C.
- the reaction is carried out under a pressure of from 1 to 70 barg preferably 3 to 20 barg.
- a second step in the separation process is the removal of dissolved gases from the complex solution. This may be carried out by degassing at a temperature of from 0 to 80°C, preferably 15 to 35°C above the temperature of formation of the complex. Alternatively this step may be carried out under pressure of 2 to 98% of the absolute pressure used to form the complex, preferably 10 to 80% of the absolute pressure used to form the complex. Alternatively, a combination of reduced pressure and increased temperature may be used.
- the third step is recovery of ethylene and/or propylene by dissociation of these gases from the metal complex.
- this dissociation may be carried out at a temperature of from 0 to 80°C, preferably 15 to 35°C above the temperature used to remove dissolved gases.
- this step may be carried out under pressure at 2 to 98% of the absolute pressure used to remove the dissolved gases, preferably 10 to 80% of the absolute pressure used to remove the dissolved gases.
- a combination of reduced pressure and increased temperature may be used.
- the regenerated olefin-free solution is then returned to the absorber column to complex more olefins.
