In the present invention, the terms "spent adsorbent", "primary regenerant" and "regenerant" are all adsorbents, and in order to distinguish the different states of the adsorbents, they are named differently according to the process steps of the sulfur-containing hydrocarbon adsorption desulfurization process of the present invention. Wherein the term "spent adsorbent" is the adsorbent after the completion of the desulfurization reaction; the term "primary regenerant" is an adsorbent formed after a primary regeneration treatment; the term "regenerant" is the adsorbent obtained after completion of the entire process of the regeneration treatment.
In the present invention, the term "regeneration gas" is a gas used in the regeneration treatment process to promote the oxidation reaction of the spent catalyst; the term "reducing gas" is the gas used to promote the reduction of the regenerant during the reduction process.
In order to improve the activity and consumption problems of the regenerant, particularly the desulfurization adsorbent prepared by using a silicon/aluminum material as a carrier and zinc oxide/active metal (such as nickel) as an active component, the inventors have conducted a great deal of research and found that one of the reasons for the reduction of desulfurization efficiency and the increase of consumption in the desulfurization method by adsorption of sulfur-containing hydrocarbon may be that zinc silicate is inevitably generated during the circulation of the adsorbent, and the formation of zinc silicate reduces the ability of the adsorbent to capture sulfur in the reactor, thereby gradually losing activity, and causing the above problems.
In order to suppress the generation of the zinc silicate component during the circulation of the adsorbent, the inventors have conducted a great deal of research and found that in the conventional sulfur-containing hydrocarbon adsorption desulfurization method, when a hydrogen-containing gas is used as a reducing gas in the step of the reduction reaction, the desulfurization adsorbent prepared using a silicon/aluminum material as a carrier and zinc oxide/nickel as an active component reacts as shown in the following formulas (1) and (2) to form a large amount of water; further, the following problems may be caused: firstly, the water partial pressure in a reducer (reduction treatment) is caused to be too high, so that zinc oxide and silicon dioxide react to form zinc silicate; secondly, the partial water content of the reduction regenerant flowing out of the reducer (reduction treatment) is high, and the reduction regenerant can form zinc silicate during the desulfurization reaction with the sulfur-containing hydrocarbon and the high-temperature regeneration.
(1)H2+NiO=Ni+H2O;
(2)8H2+Zn3O(SO4)2=ZnO+2ZnS+8H2O;
For this purpose,in the present invention, there is provided a process for adsorptive desulfurization of sulfur-containing hydrocarbons, which comprises: and (3) desulfurization treatment: mixing and contacting sulfur-containing hydrocarbon and hydrogen donor with an adsorbent to obtain desulfurized sulfur-containing hydrocarbon and a sulfur-carrying spent catalyst; regeneration treatment: mixing and contacting the sulfur-carrying spent regenerant with oxygen-containing regeneration gas to obtain a regenerant; reduction treatment: mixing and contacting the regenerant with a reducing gas to obtain a reducing regenerant which is recycled as an adsorbent; the adsorbent contains active metal monomer (such as Ni or metal element with similar catalytic action to Ni), and the reaction conditions of the reduction treatment comprise: taking a gas mixture containing non-hydrogen reducing gas as reducing gas, wherein the reducing temperature is 250-420 ℃, the reducing pressure is 0-3 MPa, and the volume space velocity of the reducing gas is 50-1000 h-1The reduction time (also called adsorbent retention time) is 0.5-3 h.
Compared with the method for adsorbing and desulfurizing the sulfur-containing hydrocarbon, the method for adsorbing and desulfurizing the sulfur-containing hydrocarbon avoids the reaction of hydrogen and the oxide or the compound of the active metal to form water in the reduction treatment process by adopting the gas containing the non-hydrogen reducing gas as the reducing gas, takes carbon monoxide as an example, the desulfurization adsorbent prepared by taking a silicon/aluminum material as a carrier and zinc oxide/nickel as an active component can react as shown in the following formula (3) and formula (4) in the reduction treatment process, effectively reduces the water partial pressure in the reduction treatment process, reduces the local water amount in the reduction regenerant, inhibits the formation of zinc silicate in the reduction reaction and the desulfurization reaction, and further improves the activity and the strength of the regenerant.

In addition, the inventor also found in the research process that water is also generated in the regeneration treatment step of the existing sulfur-containing hydrocarbon adsorption desulfurization method, and the generation of water causes the following problems: (1) because the oxygen in the regeneration gas reacts with the zinc sulfide to generate zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide, an acid environment is formed in the presence of water, the formation of zinc silicate is further catalyzed in a high-temperature environment, the formation of the zinc silicate can reduce the sulfur capturing capacity of the adsorbent in the reactor, and the adsorbent gradually loses activity; (2) because oxygen in the regenerated gas reacts with zinc sulfide to generate zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide, the sulfur dioxide can be further oxidized into sulfur trioxide; at the moment, the produced water and sulfur trioxide can react to generate sulfuric acid, so that a strong acid environment is formed in the regeneration environment; under this environment, sulphuric acid can react with zinc oxide and generate zinc sulfate, and zinc sulfate has stronger viscidity, can make the adsorbent caking deposit in regenerator bottom, influences the normal cycle of adsorbent. Because the adsorbent in the reaction system can not be normally converted, the sulfur content on the adsorbent is gradually increased, so that the desulfurization of the adsorbent is reduced and reduced, the quality of the product is finally influenced, and even the product can not leave a factory.
To this end, according to the method of the present invention, preferably, the regeneration treatment step includes: and carrying out primary regeneration on the sulfur-carrying spent regenerant at the temperature of 300-480 ℃ to obtain a primary regenerant, and then carrying out secondary regeneration on the primary regenerant at the temperature of 480-580 ℃ to obtain the regenerant.

Preferably, the oxygen-containing gas is air. The inert gas (protective gas) can be one or more of nitrogen, helium, neon and argon.
According to the method of the present invention, in order to improve the comprehensive utilization rate of the method, preferably, the regeneration flue gas generated in the primary regeneration process is dried in the reduction treatment and then is used as the reduction gas for reflux. The reaction conditions of the primary regeneration step are controlled, so that the control of the components of the regenerated flue gas generated in the primary regeneration process is facilitated, the part of the regenerated flue gas is mainly inert gas, wherein the carrier is water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and the like, and the content of the carbon monoxide in the regenerated flue gas subjected to drying treatment and moisture removal is more than 5 volume percent, so that the regenerated flue gas is suitable for being used as reducing gas. And the regenerated flue gas is dried and then used as the reducing gas for backflow, so that the use cost of the reducing gas and the treatment cost of the tail gas of the regenerated flue gas can be reduced, and the effect of achieving multiple purposes is achieved.

4. and delta (RON + MON)/2 is the difference between the antiknock index of the product and the antiknock index of the raw material.
As can be seen from the data in table 3, compared with comparative example 1 in which the sulfur-containing hydrocarbon adsorption desulfurization method of the prior art is adopted, in examples 1 to 6 in which the sulfur-containing hydrocarbon adsorption desulfurization method provided by the present invention is adopted, the generation amounts of zinc sulfate and zinc silicate in the regenerant are significantly reduced, the consumption of the adsorbent is significantly reduced, the sulfur content of the product gasoline is significantly reduced, and the octane number loss is significantly reduced.
