Description

Prolong the method for life of alkylation catalysts
The present invention relates to prolong the life-span of alkylation catalyst, such as zeolite alkylated catalyst.Further say, the present invention relates to prolong and be used for aromatic hydrocarbon and olefin alkylation reaction method with the life of alkylation catalysts of producing alkyl aromatics.
Alkylated reaction is in alkylation reactor, with aromatic substance such as benzene, naphthalene or 1,2,3,4-tetralin and alkene such as ethene, propylene or butylene in reaction in the presence of the alkylation catalyst and under catalyticing conversioning condition to produce alkyl aromatics.For example benzene can be produced ethylbenzene or isopropyl benzene respectively with ethene or propylene reaction.Be provided with one or more alkylation catalyst bed layers in the reactor.Catalyzer can be the alkylation catalyst of zeolite catalyst or other type.
Alkylated reaction can carry out in liquid phase, vapour phase or vapour-liquid mixed phase.Because these alkylated reactions are strong heat releases, preferably provide heat-removal capability so keep service temperature in beds, or carry out the stepwise process reaction, and in each intersegmental cooling that appropriateness is provided.Such adiabatic operation method is desirable.For the temperature that limits in each conversion zone raises, it is excessive aromatic hydrocarbon that people adopt with respect to alkene, and when adopting the multistage reactor, can limit the amount of alkene that feeds in each section reaction mixture.In addition, will reduce the amount of the undesirable more alkyl aromatic that in each conversion zone, is generated with excessive aromatic hydrocarbon.For example, it is about 5: 1 to about 6: 1 that production alkylbenzene (for example ethylbenzene or isopropyl benzene) can adopt total mol ratio of benzene and alkene, if adopt the multistage reaction, the ethene portioning can be added in each conversion zone.In the back of each section, can after each part conversion of olefines, apply cooling.Preferably the alkene div in par aeq is added each section.Under catalyticing conversioning condition, this reaction is very fast, and only needs just converted olefin fully of a thin layer catalyst bed.
Along with the time growth of each bed of operation catalyzer, catalyzer is inactivation gradually.The inactivation of catalyzer is accompanied by the zone that reacts and is shifted along beds.After reaction zone shifts out the whole length of catalyst bed fully, just with catalyst regeneration.The peak temperature walk rate is fast more, and the needs of catalyzer are just frequent more in regeneration or the reduction bed.Under the constant condition of others, the speed of catalyst deactivation is proportional with the alkylbenzene production rate.The speed of catalyst deactivation is also along with the ratio of benzene and alkene reduces and increases.Benzene and alkene are in when hanging down ratio, and some alkene is assembled coalescence and generated other high-molecular weight alkene.These alkene can have the phenyl ring alkylation alkyl hydrocarbon of long side chain with generation.In addition, be that ratio along with benzene and alkene reduces and increases to the selectivity of polyalkylbenzene such as dialkyl group, trialkyl and tetraalkyl benzene.In general, the speed of catalyst deactivation is along with the concentration of heavy alkylbenzene and polyalkylbenzene increases and increases.These heavy products are preferentially adsorbed on and carry out polymerization on the activity of such catalysts position, and desorption from the catalyzer no longer.Therefore, catalyzer is with regard to inactivation.
Temperature is also influential to activity of such catalysts.Temperature is lower than optimum range, can cause the selectivity of polyalkylbenzene is increased, so produce bigger deactivation rate.Temperature is higher than optimum range, and cracking can take place polyalkylbenzene, can produce the active ingredient of polymkeric substance and the speed of other high boiler material meeting accelerator activator inactivation.
Deactivation rate energy enough " reactivity parameter ", or AP comes quantificational expression.Calculate this reactivity parameter and be by certain period with process in the catalyst quality of inactivation divided by the quality of the alkylbenzene that in same long time, generates.Catalyzer with quite high AP value has the long life-span in needs regeneration or before changing.Catalyzer with quite low AP value needs the regenerated frequency just higher, this situation be accompanied by usually production loss and (or) the increasing of extra charge.Be also noted that fresh catalyzer has high AP value, and its AP value is just very little after regeneration, that is, behind catalyst regeneration, its inactivation is preceding more faster than regeneration.Such phenomenon is that people are undesirable, because increased process cost thus and subtracted the ability of having fallen the prediction catalyst performance.
