Patent Description:
Methanol-to-olefin technology (MTO) mainly includes DMTO (methanol-to-olefin) technology of Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and MTO technology of UOP Company of the United States. In <NUM>, the Shenhua Baotou methanol-to-olefin plant using DMTO technology was completed and put into operation. This is the world's first industrial application of MTO technology. As of the end of <NUM>, <NUM> DMTO industrial plants have been put into production, with a total production capacity of about <NUM> million tons of low-carbon olefins per year. <CIT> discloses a method for producing oxygen-containing low carbon olefins from light olefins, the method including the use of a reactor with a lower and upper part and a delivery tube, wherein the upper part is separated into multiple zones by walls, corresponding to baffles. The pipe (<NUM>) is a steam stripper and has an by definition an exit for the steam on top of it. The cross section separating the bottom and the top part of the reactor constitutes an inlet and an outlet for all the gases, catalyst particles, raw materials and products leaving a region and entering the other. The apparatus further includes inclined tubes and a regenerator with the same configuration of the reactor vessel.

In recent years, DMTO technology has been further developed, and a new generation of DMTO catalyst with better performance has gradually begun industrial applications, creating higher benefits for DMTO plants. The new generation of DMTO catalyst has higher methanol processing capacity and low-carbon olefin selectivity.

The MTO technologies generally adopt a SAPO-<NUM> molecular sieve catalyst, and the high selectivity for low-carbon olefins in an MTO process is achieved by the combination of the acid catalysis of the molecular sieve with the restriction of pores in a framework structure of the molecular sieve. A methanol conversion process is also accompanied by a coking process of an acidic molecular sieve catalyst. The existing MTO plants can achieve a methanol coking rate of <NUM> wt% to <NUM> wt%, that is, <NUM>% to <NUM>% of C atoms in methanol are converted into coke in a catalyst, and the coke is burned in a regenerator to generate CO, CO<NUM>, H<NUM>O, and the like that are discharged, with a C utilization rate only of <NUM>% to <NUM>%. With the advancement of technologies, the selectivity for low-carbon olefins in an MTO process has been greatly improved, and the high methanol coking rate and the low C utilization rate have become the bottlenecks inhibiting the advancement of technologies. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new MTO technologies to improve the C utilization rate and the atomic economy.

An MTO process is accompanied by a coking process of an acidic molecular sieve catalyst, such that coke species are formed in molecular sieve cages, triggering a catalytic process of MTO. The coking of the catalyst makes some active sites of the molecular sieve covered to reduce the activity of the catalyst, but the coke in the molecular sieve further limits pores in a framework structure of the molecular sieve to improve the selectivity for low-carbon olefins.

The low-carbon olefins mentioned in the present application refer to ethylene and propylene. The applicants have found through research that main factors affecting the activity of a DMTO catalyst and the selectivity for low-carbon olefins include coke content, coke content distribution, and coke species in the catalyst. Under the same average coke content in catalysts, the narrower the coke content distribution, the higher the selectivity and activity of low-carbon olefins. Coke species in a catalyst may include polymethyl aromatic hydrocarbons, polymethyl cycloalkanes, and the like, where polymethylbenzene and polymethylnaphthalene can promote the formation of ethylene. Therefore, the control of the coke content, coke content distribution, and coke species in a catalyst is the key to control an operation window of the DMTO catalyst and improve the selectivity of low-carbon olefins.

A coke content in an MTO spent catalyst is generally <NUM> wt% to <NUM> wt%, and a too-high coke content will greatly reduce the activity of the catalyst. At present, MTO plants generally adopt an air regeneration method to restore the activity of a catalyst, thereby recycling the catalyst; and in this process, the coke is burned in a regenerator to generate CO, CO<NUM>, H<NUM>O, and other substances, which are discharged. In fact, the coke in spent catalysts can be divided into two categories: coke with a large molecular weight, a high graphitization degree, and no catalytic activity, which can be called inactive coke; and polymethyl aromatic hydrocarbons and polymethyl cycloalkanes with a small molecular weight and catalytic activity, which can be called active coke. When air is used as a regeneration medium, due to the strong oxidizability of air, inactive coke and active coke undergo a deep oxidation reaction with oxygen to mainly generate substances such as CO, CO<NUM>, and H<NUM>O, and it is difficult to realize the controllable conversion of coke and control the coke content, coke content distribution, and coke species in the catalyst. Therefore, when air is used as a regeneration medium and a coke content in a catalyst is < <NUM> wt%, the sufficient catalytic activity of the catalyst can be restored in the case where most coke is oxidized and eliminated. A regenerated catalyst obtained by this regeneration scheme shows low selectivity for low-carbon olefins, high methanol coking rate, and high methanol unit consumption. When water is used as a regeneration medium, active coke reacts with water, large-molecule species are converted into small-molecule species, and under suitable conditions, active coke can be converted into species mainly composed of polymethylbenzene and polymethylnaphthalene. When a combination of water and oxygen is used as a regeneration medium, under the action of oxygen and water, inactive coke and active coke are converted into oxygen-containing hydrocarbon species and oxygen-free hydrocarbon species with a small molecular weight, where oxygen-containing hydrocarbon species do not have catalytic activity. The oxygen-containing hydrocarbon species can be converted into oxygen-free hydrocarbon species with catalytic activity under the action of substances such as water vapor, hydrogen, methane, ethane, and propane.

Therefore, the present application provides a controllable activation method for converting a spent catalyst into a regenerated catalyst, where the regenerated catalyst has the characteristics of high activity, high selectivity for low-carbon olefins, and the like, and can reduce the methanol unit consumption and methanol coking rate and improve the atomic economy of the MTO technology.

Process operating conditions can be changed to control an average residence time of a catalyst in the first activation zone, thereby controlling a coke content in the catalyst. The structure of n first activation zone subzones is adopted to control a residence time distribution of a catalyst (the residence time distribution is similar to n serially-connected completely-mixed tank reactors), and thus a regenerated catalyst with a narrow coke content distribution can be obtained.

In the present application, since the catalyst is powdery, the coke content in the catalyst refers to an average coke content in catalyst granules, but coke contents in different catalyst granules may actually be different. In the present application, the quartile deviation of the coke content distribution in the regenerated catalyst can be controlled to be less than <NUM> wt%, such that the overall coke content distribution of the catalyst is narrow, thereby improving the activity of the catalyst and the selectivity for low-carbon olefins.

In the present application, an activation process of a catalyst includes the following three steps: S1: water vapor and a small amount of oxygen are used as an activation gas to convert the inactive and active coke in the spent catalyst into oxygen-containing hydrocarbon species and oxygen-free hydrocarbon species with a small molecular weight, where the oxygen-containing hydrocarbon species show no catalytic activity and S1 is completed in the first activation zone of the first regenerator; S2: air is used as an activation gas to reduce a coke content of a part of the catalyst to less than or equal to <NUM> wt%, where S2 is completed in the second regenerator; and S3: non-oxidative gases such as water vapor, methane, ethane, propane, and C<NUM>-C<NUM> hydrocarbon compounds are used as an activation gas to convert catalytically-inactive oxygen-containing hydrocarbon species in a catalyst from the first activation zone into catalytically-active oxygen-free hydrocarbon species, and under the action of a catalyst with a coke content less than or equal to <NUM> wt% from the second regenerator, the methane, ethane, propane, and C<NUM>-C<NUM> hydrocarbon compounds are converted into ethylene and propylene, where S3 is completed in the second activation zone of the first regenerator. In S1, a weakly-oxidative activation gas is used to decompose the inactive coke with a low decomposition rate, it is difficult to completely decompose the inactive coke, and the incomplete decomposition results in the generation of some catalytically-inactive oxygen-containing hydrocarbon species. In S2, the coke in a part of the catalyst is almost completely decomposed using strongly-oxidative air to obtain a catalyst with high activity, and the catalyst with high activity can be used to convert methane, ethane, propane, and C<NUM>-C<NUM> hydrocarbon compounds into ethylene and propylene. In S3, a non-oxidative activation gas is used to further convert the catalytically-inactive oxygen-containing hydrocarbon species into catalytically-active oxygen-free hydrocarbon species, and increase the production of ethylene and propylene. After the three-step activation, coke species in the regenerated catalyst are mainly polymethylbenzene and polymethylnaphthalene, with high selectivity for ethylene.

In the present application, the first regenerator and the second regenerator couple an exothermic reaction and an endothermic reaction; the first activation zone raw material reacts with the coke of the catalyst in the first activation zone to generate substances such as CO and H<NUM>, and the release of heat raises a temperature of the catalyst; the air reacts with the coke of the catalyst in the second regenerator, and the release of heat further raises the temperature of the catalyst; and the second activation zone raw material and the coke in the catalyst undergo an endothermic reaction in the second activation zone, and the heat required by the reaction is supplied by the exothermic reactions in the first activation zone and the second regenerator.

In the first regenerator of the present application, by-products are converted into ethylene and propylene while the spent catalyst is activated, which improves the yield of ethylene and propylene.

In the first regenerator of the present application, the coke in the spent catalyst is converted into CO and H<NUM> while the spent catalyst is activated, and the CO and H<NUM> can be recycled as a raw material for methanol preparation.

In the second regenerator of the present application, the strongly-oxidative air is used as a regeneration medium to almost completely eliminate the inactive and active coke in the catalyst, making a coke content less than or equal to <NUM> wt%.

In the present application, the structure in which the first gas-solid separation unit of the fluidized bed reactor is directly connected to the delivery pipe realizes the rapid separation of a low-carbon olefin-containing gas and a spent catalyst in the stream A, and avoids that low-carbon olefins further react under the action of the spent catalyst to generate hydrocarbon by-products with a large molecular weight.

As a preferred embodiment, a raw material with an oxygen-containing compound may be fed into the reaction zone of the fluidized bed reactor from the fluidized bed reactor distributor and contact a regenerated catalyst from the first regenerated catalyst delivery pipe to generate a stream A with low-carbon olefins and a spent catalyst; the stream A may enter the first gas-solid separation unit of the fluidized bed reactor through the delivery pipe to undergo gas-solid separation to obtain a gas-phase stream B and a solid-phase stream C, where the gas-phase stream B is a gas with low-carbon olefins and the solid-phase stream C is a spent catalyst; the gas-phase stream B may enter the fluidized bed reactor gas collection chamber, and the solid-phase stream C may enter the spent catalyst zone; a spent catalyst zone fluidizing gas may be fed into the spent catalyst zone from the spent catalyst zone gas distributor and contact the spent catalyst, and the spent catalyst zone fluidizing gas and a spent catalyst carried thereby may form a stream D; the stream D may enter the second gas-solid separation unit of the fluidized bed reactor to undergo gas-solid separation to obtain a gas-phase stream E and a solid-phase stream F, where the gas-phase stream E is the spent catalyst zone fluidizing gas and the solid-phase stream F is the spent catalyst; the gas-phase stream E may enter the fluidized bed reactor gas collection chamber, and the solid-phase stream F may be returned to the spent catalyst zone; the gas-phase stream B and the gas-phase stream E may be mixed in the fluidized bed reactor gas collection chamber to produce a product gas, and the product gas may enter a downstream working section through the product gas delivery pipe; and a part of the spent catalyst in the spent catalyst zone may be returned to a bottom of the reaction zone of the fluidized bed reactor through the spent catalyst circulation pipe and the spent catalyst circulation slide valve, and the remaining part of the spent catalyst may enter the fluidized bed reactor stripper through the spent catalyst inclined pipe to undergo stripping, and then enter the first regenerator through the spent catalyst slide valve and the spent catalyst delivery pipe.

In the present application, the "catalyst-to-alcohol ratio" refers to a ratio of a mass flow rate of the regenerated catalyst to a feed amount of the oxygen-containing compound; and when a catalyst-to-alcohol ratio is expressed in the present application, a mass of DME in the oxygen-containing compound is equivalently converted into a mass of methanol according to a mass of the element C.

In the method of the present application, the oxygen-containing compound is converted into ethylene, propylene, and by-products in the fluidized bed reactor, and the by-products are further converted into ethylene and propylene in the first regenerator; and thus, a total yield of ethylene and propylene includes yields in the two parts. In the method of the present application, a yield of ethylene may be <NUM> wt% to <NUM> wt%, a yield of propylene may be <NUM> wt% to <NUM> wt%, a yield of C<NUM>-C<NUM> hydrocarbon compounds may be less than or equal to <NUM> wt%, a yield of other components may be less than or equal to <NUM> wt%, and a total yield of ethylene and propylene may be <NUM> wt% to <NUM> wt%, where the other components may include methane, ethane, propane, hydrogen, CO, CO<NUM>, and the like.

In the present application, when the unit consumption of production is expressed, a mass of DME in the oxygen-containing compound is equivalently converted into a mass of methanol based on a mass of the element C, and a unit of the unit consumption of production is ton of methanol/ton of low-carbon olefins.

In the method of the present application, the unit consumption of production may be <NUM> to <NUM> tons of methanol/ton of low-carbon olefins.
