大庆常压催化裂解动力学研究

Catalytic pyrolysis of Daqing atmospheric residue on catalyst CEP-1 was investigated in a confined fluidized bed reactor. The results show that reaction temperature, the mass ratios of catalyst to oil and steam to oil have significant effects on product distribution and yields of light olefins. The yields of light olefins show the maxima with the increase of reaction temperature, the mass ratios of catalyst to oil and steam to oil, respectively. The optimized operating conditions were determined in the laboratory, and under that condition the yields of ethylene, propylene and total light olefins by mass were 15.9%, 20.7% and 44.3% respectively.

Kinetic study of crude oil-to-chemicals via steam-enhanced catalytic cracking in a fixed-bed reactor

This study presents new experimental results on the direct conversion of crude oil to chemicals via steam-enhanced catalytic cracking. We have organized the experimental results with a kinetics model using crude oil and steam co-feed in a fixed-bed flow reactor at reaction temperatures of 625, 650, and 675°C over the Ce-Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst. The model let us find optimum conditions for crude oil conversion, and the order of the steam cracking reaction was 2.0 for heavy oil fractions and 1.0 for light oil fractions. The estimated activation energies for the steam cracking reactions ranged between 20 and 200 kJ/mol. Interestingly, the results from kinetic modelling helped in identifying a maximum yield of light olefins at an optimized residence time in the reactor at each temperature level. An equal propylene and ethylene yield was observed between 650 and 670°C, indicating a transition from dominating catalytic cracking at a lower temperature to a dominating thermal cracking at a higher temperature. The results illustrate that steam-enhanced catalytic cracking can be utilized to effectively convert crude oil into basic chemicals (52.1% C2-C4 light olefins and naphtha) at a moderate severity (650°C) as compared to the conventional high-temperature steam cracking process.     

Modeling of an industrial fixed bed reactor based on lumped kinetic models for hydrogenation of pyrolysis gasoline

In this work, a mathematical model of an industrial fixed bed reactor for the catalytic hydrogenation of pyrolysis gasoline produced from olefin production plant is developed based on a lumped kinetic model. A pseudo-homogeneous system for liquid and solid phases and three pseudo-components: diolefins, olefins, and parraffins, are taken into account in the development of the reactor model. Temperature profile and product distribution from real plant data on a gasoline hydrogenation reactor are used to estimate reaction kinetic parameters. The developed model is validated by comparing the results of simulation with those collected from the plant data. From simulation results, it is found that the prediction of significant state variables agrees well with the actual plant data for a wide range of operating conditions; the developed model adequately represents the fixed-bed reactor.     

Empirical modeling of normal/cyclo-alkanes pyrolysis to produce light olefins

Due to the complexity of feedstock, it is challenging to build a general model for light olefins production. This work was intended to simulate the formation of ethylene, propene and 1,3-butadiene in alkanes pyrolysis by referring the effects of normal/cyclo-structures. First, the pyrolysis of n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, n-nonane, n-decane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, n-hexane and cyclohexane mixtures, and n-heptane and methylcyclohexane mixtures were carried out at 650-800℃, and a particular attention was paid to the measurement of ethylene, propene and 1,3-butadiene. Then, pseudo-first order kinetics was taken to characterize the pyrolysis process, and the effects of feedstock composition were studied. It was found that chain length and cyclo-alkane content can be qualitatively and quantitively represented by carbon atom number and pseudo-cyclohexane content, which made a significant difference on light olefins formation. Furthermore, the inverse proportional/quadratic function, linear function and exponential function were proposed to simulate the effects of chain length, cycloalkane content and reaction temperature on light olefins formation, respectively. Although the obtained empirical model well reproduced feedstock conversion, ethylene yield and propene yield in normal/cyclo-alkanes pyrolysis, it exhibited limitations in simulating 1,3-butadiene formation. Finally, the accuracy and flexibility of the present model was validated by predicting light olefins formation in the pyrolysis of multiple hydrocarbon mixtures. The prediction data well agreed with the experiment data for feedstock conversion, ethylene yield and propene yield, and overall characterized the changing trend of 1,3-butadiene yield along with reaction temperature, indicating that the present model could basically reflect light olefins production in the pyrolysis process even for complex feedstock.     

Systematics and modelling representations of LPG thermal cracking for olefin production

Pyrolysis of hydrocarbons is an important commercial process for the production of ethylene, propylene and 1,3 butadiene. These low molecular weight olefins are among the most important base chemicals for the petrochemical industries for polymer production. A simulation program of the reaction kinetics and coke formation inside the coils of a thermal cracking unit can provide information on the effects of operating conditions on the product distribution. The aim of this study was to develop a mechanistic reaction model for the pyrolysis of LPG that can be used to predict the yields of the major products from a given LPG sample with commercial indices. A complete reaction network, using a rigorous kinetic model, for the decomposition of the LPG feed has been developed, which is used for the simulation of industrial LPG crackers. This model has been adapted using industrial data for the pyrolysis yields of LPG. The present paper attends on the asymptotic coking mechanism and describes the development of a kinetic coking model in the pyrolysis of LPG. Detailed and accurate information about the product distribution, growth of coke layer, the evolution of the tube skin temperatures can be obtained from this simulation. Simulations of this kind can be used to optimize the furnace operation. They can be used as a guide for the adaptation of the operating variables aiming at prolonging the run length of the furnace. The reactor model, as well as kinetic scheme, is tested in an industrial cracking furnace.     

Thermodynamic analysis of reaction pathways and equilibrium yields for catalytic pyrolysis of naphtha

The chain length and hydrocarbon type significantly affect the production of light olefins during the catalytic pyrolysis of naphtha. Herein, for a better catalyst design and operation parameters optimization, the reaction pathways and equilibrium yields for the catalytic pyrolysis of C_5–8 n/iso/cyclo-paraffins were analyzed thermodynamically. The results revealed that the thermodynamically favorable reaction pathways for n/iso-paraffins and cyclo-paraffins were the protolytic and hydrogen transfer cracking pathways, respectively. However, the formation of light paraffin severely limits the maximum selectivity toward light olefins. The dehydrogenation cracking pathway of n/iso-paraffins and the protolytic cracking pathway of cyclo-paraffins demonstrated significantly improved selectivity for light olefins. The results are thus useful as a direction for future catalyst improvements, facilitating superior reaction pathways to enhance light olefins. In addition, the equilibrium yield of light olefins increased with increasing the chain length, and the introduction of cyclo-paraffin inhibits the formation of light olefins. High temperatures and low pressures favor the formation of ethylene, and moderate temperatures and low pressures favor the formation of propylene. n-Hexane and cyclohexane mixtures gave maximum ethylene and propylene yield of approximately 49.90% and 55.77%, respectively. This work provides theoretical guidance for the development of superior catalysts and the selection of proper operation parameters for the catalytic pyrolysis of C_5–8 n/iso/cyclo-paraffins from a thermodynamic point of view.     

A molecular kinetic model incorporating catalyst acidity for hydrocarbon catalytic cracking

This work built a molecular-level kinetic model for hydrocarbon catalytic cracking, incorporating the catalyst acidity as the parameter to estimate reaction rates. The n-decane and 1-hexene co-conversion catalytic cracking process was chosen as the studying case. The molecular reaction network was automatically generated using a computer-aided algorithm. A modified linear free energy relationship was proposed to estimate the activation energy in a complex reaction system. The kinetic parameters were initially regressed from the experimental data under several reaction conditions. On this basis, the product composition was evaluated for three catalytic cracking catalysts with different Si/Al. The Bronsted acid and Lewis acid as the key catalyst properties were correlated with kinetic parameters. The built model can calculate the product distribution, gasoline composition, and molecular distribution at different reaction conditions for different catalysts. This sensitive study shows that it will facilitate the model-based optimization of catalysts and reaction conditions according to product demands.

Demetallization of heavy oil through pyrolysis: A reaction kinetics analysis

By tracking the transfer of vanadium and nickel in pyrolysis products, a seven-lump reaction kinetic model for pyrolysis-based demetallization of heavy oil was established. During pyrolysis, the demetallization of heavy oil is achieved by condensing metal-rich resins and asphaltenes to coke. The condensation of oil components originally contained in heavy oil differs greatly in reaction behavior, having the activation energy between 167 and 361 kJ/mol. As the pyrolysis progresses, the newly formed heavy components show a condensation behavior close to that of the light components. Limited by high activation energy and low initial fraction, the condensation of asphaltenes to coke and the resulting removal of metals contained in asphaltenes are hindered. Meanwhile, the condensation of light components has a major contribution to coke formation. An increase in reaction temperature accelerates the demetallization, but hardly changes the yield and component distribution of liquid products at the same metal removal rate.

Lumped reaction kinetic models for pyrolysis of heavy oil in the presence of supercritical water

The reaction kinetics of the pyrolysis of heavy oil in the presence of supercritical water (SCW) and high pressure N₂ were measured. At any reaction temperature applied, the pyrolysis under SCW environments is faster than that under N₂ environments. Meanwhile, at lower temperatures the pyrolysis under both environments is accelerated by the introduction of coke into the feedstock. On the basis of a first‐order four‐lump reaction network consisting of the sequential condensation of maltenes and asphaltenes, the pyrolysis in whichever medium can be preferably described either by the lumped reaction kinetic model modified with autocatalysis and pseudoequilibrium or by the model modified solely with pseudoequilibrium. Benefited from the reduced limitation of diffusion to reaction kinetics, the pyrolysis in the SCW phase is more sensitive to the increase in reaction temperature than that in the oil phase, disengaging readily from the dependence on autocatalysis at a lower temperature. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 207–216, 2016
