Method for preparing liquid fuel by grease selective catalytic deoxidation
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing liquid fuel by grease selective catalytic deoxidation, belonging to the technical field of biomass energy.
Background
Liquid fuels, such as gasoline, diesel oil, aviation fuel oil, etc., are very important power fuels, and are important material bases for economic and social development. The long-term use of fossil resources for the production of liquid fuels in large quantities has had a negative impact on the environment, such as greenhouse effect. And reserves of these non-renewable resources decrease year by year as they continue to consume. The deoxidized liquid fuel prepared from the renewable animal and vegetable oil has the excellent characteristics of high heat value, good combustion performance, similar composition with petrochemical fuel, good compatibility and the like, and is widely valued. Therefore, research on the technology of preparing deoxidized liquid fuel from grease is increasingly paid attention to in countries around the world.
The grease is subjected to hydrodeoxygenation under the action of a sulfurized NiMo/gamma-Al 2O3 or CoMo/gamma-Al 2O3 catalyst to be converted into long-chain alkane, and the long-chain alkane is subjected to catalytic isomerization by an acidic molecular sieve catalyst (such as Pt/ZSM-22) loaded with noble metals such as Pt and Pd to prepare the liquid fuel. The catalyst and isomerization conditions are changed, and the gasoline, diesel oil or aviation kerosene fuel can be selectively and mainly produced. For example, the technology for preparing diesel Oil with high cetane number by hydrogenating grease developed by Canmet energy technology center in Canada, the technology for preparing diesel Oil by catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of grease established by Neste Oil company Porvoo in Finland, and the technology for preparing aviation kerosene by biomass developed by UOP.
Sulfided hydrogenation catalysts can reduce catalytic activity due to sulfur loss and thus produce sulfur pollution. The hydrogenation metal catalysts such as nickel, palladium, platinum, ruthenium and the like are selected, so that the related problems of sulfur can be avoided. Recently, chinese patent CN 102876350a discloses a technology for preparing an alkane fuel by catalyzing grease or fatty acid hydrodeoxygenation with a Ru-based catalyst. Alternatively, hydrodeoxygenation and cleavage/isomerisation coupling can be accomplished directly in a single stage with a bifunctional catalyst, for example, herskowitz et al (Earth and Environmental Science (2017) 012003) using Pt/SAPO-11 to catalyze the one-step reaction of fats and oils at 300-450 ℃, 1-6MPa, 0.5-5.0h -1 to obtain a diesel fuel component with lower congealing and cold filtration points.
The grease is directly hydrodeoxygenated, and the oxygen is completely removed in the form of water, which not only consumes a great amount of hydrogen, but also can lose glycerin (hydrogenation to produce propane), for example, the theoretical hydrogen consumption of complete deoxygenation per mole of fatty acid glyceride is not less than 12 moles.
The grease is hydrolyzed (or methyl esterified) firstly to release glycerin, and then the fatty acid (or fatty acid methyl ester) is catalyzed to be selectively decarboxylated/carbonyl, so that oxygen elements are removed in the form of CO 2/CO, and the hydrogen consumption can be obviously reduced. Murzin et Al (Top Catal (2011) 54:460-466) reported that the Pt, pd noble metal supported Al 2O3 or SiO 2 catalysts were capable of highly selective catalytic fatty acid decarboxylation. At 250-350 ℃ and 0.1-2MPa, the conversion rate of stearic acid is more than 80%, and the selectivity of n-heptadecane is about 93%. Compared with hydrodeoxygenation reaction, the hydrogen consumption is reduced by 70-90%. Catalysts for the selective decarboxylation/carbonyl of fatty acid esters have also been reported, for example, pt/Al 2O3 to catalyze the non-hydrodeoxygenation of methyl stearate (CATAL LETT (2009) 130:9-18). These non-hydrodeoxygenation reactions by decarboxylation/carbonyl typically have a pressure below 2MPa and consume little or no hydrogen. These advantages have led to great interest in researchers.
The grease is hydrodeoxygenated to obtain alkane, or the alkane is obtained through the selective decarboxylation/decarbonylation of fatty acid or methyl ester thereof, and the alkane is hydrocracked/isomerized again, so that noble metals such as Pt, pd and the like are needed, and the cost of the catalyst can be obviously increased.
In order to reduce or even avoid the use of noble metal isomerization catalysts, reduce catalyst cost and simplify isomerization process, chinese patent CN107987868a discloses a method for preparing liquid fuel by step-wise deoxygenation of fats and oils, wherein the fats and oils are subjected to synchronous catalytic deoxygenation/isomerization of fatty alcohols to prepare fuel. However, the water produced by catalytic deoxygenation of fatty alcohols generally results in increased oxygen content of the isomerised products and reduced catalyst life. In order to reduce the adverse effect of byproduct water, chinese patent CN110066679a discloses a method for preparing liquid fuel from fatty alcohol, which continuously separates water produced by deoxidizing fatty alcohol and pyrolysis gas together, and hydrofining the reaction product to obtain fuel.
In order to further reduce the hydrogen consumption of grease deoxidation, avoid using a vulcanization catalyst and a noble metal catalyst and increase the yield of glycerol, so as to realize consumption reduction and synergy for preparing the deoxidized liquid fuel by the grease, the novel method for preparing the liquid fuel by the grease selective catalytic deoxidation is provided, which becomes a technical problem to be solved in the field.

Rubber seed oil with an acid value of 30mgKOH/g and methanol are reacted under the conditions of 300 ℃ and 20MPa, and the molar ratio of the alcohol to the oil is controlled to be 16:1, and the mass airspeed is controlled to be 5h -1, so that the rubber seed oil is subjected to methyl esterification. After methanol and glycerin (yield: approximately 8 wt%) were recovered by separation of the reacted mixture, the content of fatty acid methyl ester was 95wt%.
Catalytic hydrogenation conversion of fatty acid methyl esters to fatty alcohols:
The fatty acid methyl ester is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation reaction in a tubular reactor filled with a 20-mesh copper-nickel-aluminum catalyst (Cu: ni: al molar ratio is 1:0.3:4 and prepared by a coprecipitation method), wherein the technological conditions are that the temperature is 200 ℃, the pressure is 6MPa, the volume ratio of hydrogen to the fatty acid methyl ester is 8000:1, and the mass space velocity is 2h -1. After the selective catalytic hydrogenation reaction of the fatty acid methyl ester is finished, the content of the fatty alcohol obtained after flash evaporation of the obtained product reaches 94wt%.
Preparation of liquid fuel:
Directly passing fatty alcohol through a tubular reactor filled with SAPO-31 and SAPO-11 (mass ratio is 1:1) catalysts, and dehydrating and isomerizing the fatty alcohol under the action of the catalysts in nitrogen atmosphere to obtain the isomerized liquid fuel, wherein the dehydration and isomerization process conditions are that the temperature is 320 ℃, the pressure is 2MPa, and the mass space velocity of the fatty alcohol is 3h -1.
As is clear from comparative example 2 and comparative example 1, in example 2, the intramolecular dehydration of fatty alcohol was converted into long-chain hydrocarbon, specifically, in a column reactor filled with gamma-Al 2O3 catalyst, the intramolecular dehydration of fatty alcohol was converted into long-chain hydrocarbon, and the reaction process conditions were that the temperature was 380 ℃ and the pressure was-0.08 MPa, and the mass space velocity of fatty alcohol was 1h -1. After the reaction is finished, the reaction product is separated to obtain the long-chain hydrocarbon with the content of more than 97 weight percent and the oxygen content of less than 0.03 weight percent. Wherein the resulting long chain hydrocarbons are predominantly terminal olefins, in an amount greater than 95wt%. And then, the high-purity long-chain terminal olefin is subjected to long-chain terminal olefin isomerization reaction in a tubular reactor filled with SAPO-31 and SAPO-11 (the mass ratio is 1:1) catalysts under the nitrogen atmosphere to obtain the isomerized liquid fuel, wherein the specific reaction process conditions are that the temperature is 320 ℃, the pressure is 2MPa, and the mass space velocity of the long-chain terminal olefin is 3h -1. In example 2, the liquid fuel was prepared by first dehydrating and converting fatty alcohol into long-chain hydrocarbon in the molecule and isomerizing the long-chain hydrocarbon, in which the selectivity of the C 12-C18 component was more than 80% and the oxygen content in the liquid fuel was almost zero, whereas the liquid fuel was prepared by directly dehydrating and isomerizing fatty alcohol obtained by catalytic hydroconversion of fatty acid methyl ester in comparative example 1, in which the liquid fuel was not prepared by directly dehydrating and isomerizing the fatty alcohol, and accordingly, the selectivity of the C 12-C18 component was reduced to 62% in comparative example 1 and the oxygen content in the liquid fuel was about 2.8wt%.
In summary, the method for preparing the liquid fuel by the selective catalytic deoxygenation of the grease provided by the embodiment of the invention firstly dehydrates and converts the fatty alcohol into the long-chain hydrocarbon in the molecule, and then isomerizes the long-chain hydrocarbon to prepare the liquid fuel, so that the increase of the oxygen content of an isomerised product caused by water generated by catalytic deoxygenation of the fatty alcohol can be avoided, the adverse effect of byproduct water can be reduced, the service life of a catalyst can be prolonged, and meanwhile, the method dehydrates and converts the fatty alcohol into the long-chain hydrocarbon in the molecule, and then isomerizes the long-chain hydrocarbon to prepare the liquid fuel, so that the hydrogen consumption can be obviously reduced.
