A kind of renovation process of hydrocarbon conversion catalyst
The present invention relates to a kind of renovation process of hydrocarbon conversion catalyst, especially face the regeneration of H-H reaction catalyst.This catalyst contains a kind of carrier, the halogen of at least a catalytically-active metals and certain content, and the particle diameter of catalyst is at 0.5~5.0mm.
Catalyst surface is because of the carbon deposit inactivation in course of reaction for this class hydrocarbon conversion catalyst, and its renovation process generally needs following three steps:
(1) uses carbon deposit than the gas burning-off catalyst surface of low oxygen content.
(2) with the gas adding halide-containing of high oxygen content catalyst is handled, with the halogen on the make-up catalyst.
(3) with the gas of high oxygen content catalyst is calcined.
Generally realize above step with two kinds of methods on the engineering: a kind of method is to place fixed bed successively to cross bed with three kinds of required different air communication of above-mentioned three steps respectively catalyst; Second method is that catalyst is placed moving bed, makes it to pass through successively three different zones, and these three zones are from top to bottom respectively by three kinds of required different air-flows of above-mentioned three steps.Second kind of catalyst recovery process wherein, because the catalyst charge weight is few, regeneration efficiency height, but advantages such as implement device long-term operation, and be widely used industrial, belong to second kind of catalyst recovery process exactly as US4578370 and CN1045411A.
US4578370 adopts the movable bed catalyst renovation process, in this method, reclaim equiment comprises one section radially moving-bed of catalyst scorch region, chlorine oxidation zone and calcining zone, after reclaimable catalyst separates through separating tank, regenerate by above-mentioned three districts in turn, in regenerative process, adopt the higher burning gases of a part of temperature as thermal current, remaining burning gases loops back scorch region after supercooling.In the method, catalyst directly enters the scorch region of regenerator by induction system, because the conveying of this type of catalyst can not be continuously strict, therefore burning also can not be continuously strict, causes the discontinuous of whole process, will cause like this that to burn efficient low.Also exist regeneration gas to adopt thermal cycle in this patent, water content is big in the gas phase, the shortcoming that specific surface area of catalyst decline is fast.In addition, chlorine oxidation zone and scorch region directly communicate, and the chlorine-containing gas in the chlorine oxidation zone can directly enter scorch region, has improved the requirement to the scorch region equipment material like this, has strengthened equipment investment.In the CN1045411A patent, reclaimable catalyst is risen to the separation hopper at regenerator top by reactor bottom, after elutriation, enter the potential device district, under allobar pressure is regulated, enter the buffering area at regenerator top, under the gravity effect, pass through two radially moving-bed of catalyst scorch regions then in succession, axial catalyst moving bed chlorine oxidation zone and axial catalyst moving bed calcining zone, from second moving-bed of catalyst combustion zone burning gases of discharging radially, after the gas that comes out with chlorine oxidation zone and calcining zone is pre-mixed, deliver to the washing loop again, in this method, because burning branch carries out for two sections, so the regenerator complex structure, the regenerator absolute altitude is too high.In addition, separate hopper except that elutriation, also serve as the low depressor in the catalyst transport process, because the pressure that separates hopper is subjected to the influence of various factors, pressure is easy to generate instability, particularly at the initial stage of going into operation, like this to the smooth operation generation considerable influence of catalyst transport.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous reproducible, the simple catalyst recovery process of flow process, and do not have the problem of high temperature chlorine-containing gas corrosion scorch region equipment.
In order to achieve the above object, the invention provides a kind of like this renovation process, contain a kind of carrier, the halogen of at least a catalytically-active metals and certain content, and the reclaimable catalyst of particle diameter between 0.5~5.0mm, rise to the separation hopper at regenerator top by reactor bottom, after elutriation, enter the low-pressure area of packing material bucket, under the pressure of isolating the hopper allobar is regulated, catalyst enters the buffering area at regenerator top through allobar from low-pressure area, enter radially moving-bed of catalyst scorch region by gravity by buffering area then, with contain the carbon deposit that the oxygen regeneration gas contacts the burning-off catalyst surface, regeneration gas recycles, catalyst after burning enters axial catalyst moving bed chlorine oxidation zone again under the gravity effect, contact with chlorine-containing gas and to carry out oxychloride, catalyst behind the oxychloride is under the gravity effect, enter axial catalyst moving bed calcining zone, under the oxygen-containing gas effect, calcine, catalyst after the calcining leaves regenerator by regenerator bottoms, through the degassing, after reduction is handled, enter reactor head and begin next circulation.In the described chlorine oxidation zone with chlorine-containing gas after catalyst contacts, isolate by dense catalyst bed and scorch region, and carry out dechlorination by the chlorine-containing gas outlet discharge of chlorine oxidation zone and handle, then with extract out by scorch region and mix through the regeneration recycle gas that dechlorination was handled, be circulated to the scorch region of regenerator.
Feature of the present invention also is, chlorine-containing gas by chlorine oxidation zone exports the chlorine-containing gas of discharging, carrying out dechlorination after the cooler cooling handles, then with through cooled and mix through the regeneration recycle gas that dechlorination was handled, drying device, filter, compressor and heat exchanger carry out drying, filter, boost and heat exchange after, divide two-way to enter the heater heating respectively, enter scorch region then, wherein one the tunnel is used to burn, and another road is used to regulate the temperature of scorch region bottom beds.
The remarkable result that the present invention produces is, compare with US4578370, because of having set up buffering area in the top of regenerator, isolate hopper place regenerator above, make catalyst enter scorch region continuously, thereby realized cyclic regeneration; Secondly, with chlorine-containing gas after catalyst contacts, isolate by dense catalyst bed and scorch region, in the chlorine oxidation zone so chlorine-containing gas can not enter scorch region, so, reduced requirement to the scorch region equipment material with regard to there not being the problem of high temperature chlorine-containing gas corrosion scorch region equipment; Compare with the CN1045411A technology, substituted former independent potential device, make the separation hopper only bear the function of elutriation, thereby reduced of the influence of the instability of separation hopper district pressure the regenerative system quiet run with the isolation hopper that has low-pressure area and allobar; Only establish a scorch region, simplified flow process, reduced the absolute altitude of regenerator, reduced equipment investment.
Use the present invention also can reach other effect, because regeneration recycle gas adopts cold circulation, use normal temperature compressed machine to promote, reduced investment, the regenerator operating pressure can change between 0.3~1.5Mpa, water content is few in the regeneration recycle gas, can slow down the minimizing speed of regenerated catalyst specific area, prolongs the service life of catalyst.
In addition, the chlorine-containing gas that the present invention discharges from chlorine oxidation zone and carry out dechlorination respectively and handle from the regeneration recycle gas that scorch region is extracted out after again mixing circulation to scorch region, like this can be to the chlorine-containing gas of these two kinds of variable concentrations, adopt different dechlorination method and antichlor, make dechlorination effect better, and can reduce the operating cost in dechlorination loop.
