Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of chemical industry and petrochemical industry, in particular to a liquid-phase hydrogenation reactor and a hydrogenation process. Background technique [0002] Liquid-phase hydrogenation technology is a new type of hydrogenation technology. Hydrogen is dissolved in feedstock oil in advance, and the hydrogen required for hydrogenation is met by a large number of liquid-phase circulations, which overcomes the hydrogen diffusion in conventional trickle bed hydrogenation. Due to the influence of mass transfer, the hydrogenation reaction is carried out in the kinetic control zone. Therefore, compared with the traditional fixed-bed gas / liquid / solid three-phase hydrogenation process, the liquid-phase hydrogenation process has the advantages of fast hydrogenation reaction rate, high reaction High efficiency, low energy consumption, low investment and many other advantages have been widely recognized and applied.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the following problems still exist in the conventional downflow liquid-phase hydrogenation reactor and reaction process: (1) The concentration of reactants in the fresh material in the early stage of the reaction is high, the hydrogen content is high, the driving force of the reaction process is large, and the initial activity of the catalyst is also high , and the contact between the material and the catalyst in the liquid-phase hydrogenation process is relatively sufficient, so there are problems such as severe reaction heat release, large temperature rise, and difficult control of the process; (2) In the later stage of the reaction, due to the high reaction temperature, if it is still The hydrogenation reaction occurs on the active catalyst, causing the problems of fast reaction rate, side reaction and cracking reaction. Therefore, a catalyst with appropriate activity should be used in the later stage of the reaction to control the reaction rate and improve the reaction yield. (3) Since the late stage of the reaction is still a liquid-phase hydrogenation reaction process, the gas products generated by the reaction are still dissolved in the liquid material, that is, the conventional reaction is adopted in the liquid-phase hydrogenation reaction process It is difficult to separate by the stripping method of the reactor, which requires a large stripping surface area. If the reaction gas is not stripped out in time and removed, the reaction conversion rate in the later stage of the reaction will be reduced, so that the ideal hydrogenation cannot be achieved. Reaction depth; (4) During the reaction process, with the flow of materials in the hydrogenation reactor and the consumption of hydrogen, the dissolved and dispersed state of hydrogen in the oil has gradually changed, resulting in the hydrogen bubbles dissolved around the oil molecules. When the reaction occurs, the bubbles that have not reacted gradually coalesce into large bubbles, so that the oil cannot continuously provide hydrogen during the hydrogenation reaction, and it will also increase the side reaction or cracking reaction

[0008] In summary, most of the liquid-phase hydrogenation reactors in the prior art are based on the method of dissolving hydrogen or hydrogen dissolving components, and the method of supplementing hydrogen to improve the reaction efficiency. The external stripping facilities will flash the hydrogen sulfide and ammonia generated by the reaction. These methods do not solve the problem of severe exothermic reaction, uneven temperature rise, low reaction conversion rate in the later stage, and when the required conversion rate is reached during the liquid phase hydrogenation reaction. Therefore, it is necessary to further develop new liquid-phase hydrogenation reactors and liquid-phase hydrogenation reaction processes.
