Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Entparaffinierung, insbesondere zur Lösungsmittel-Entparaffinierung von wachshaltigen Erdölprodukten unter Verwendung von Entparaffinierungshilfsmitteln (Dewaxing Aids) auf Polyacrylatbasis.The invention relates to a method for dewaxing, in particular for solvent dewaxing of petroleum products containing wax using dewaxing aids (dewaxing aids) based on polyacrylate.
Das Vorkommen von paraffinischen Wachsen in Erdöl und in Erdölprodukten erschwert die Handhabung ganz erheblich, vorwiegend wegen der Neigung der Wachse zum Kristallisieren unterhalb bestimmter von Fall zu Fall verschiedener Temperaturen. (Vgl. Ullmanns Enzyclopädie der techn. Chemie, 4. Auflage, Bd. 20, S. 548 ff, Verlag Chemie 1981). Leichteren Erdölfraktionen kann das Wachs durch einfaches Abkühlen auf die
Kristallisationstemperatur der Wachse und Abpressen über Filter entzogen werden.
Das technisch vorwiegend angewendete Verfahren zur Entparaffinierung von wachshaltigen Ölen arbeitet mit Lösungsmitteln, meistens niedrigsiedenden aliphatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen wie Pentan, Hexan, Heptan, Octan usw., Ketonen wie Aceton, Methylethylketon, Methylisobutylketon u.ä., ferner aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen wie Benzol, Toluol, Xylol u.ä. sowie Gemischen von Lösungsmitteln. Auch hier wird das wachshaltige Öl, das mit dem Lösungsmittel vermischt worden war, abgekühlt, bis sich das Wachs in Form feiner Partikel niederschlägt. Die abgeschiedenen Wachspartikel werden auf einen Wachs-Separator, d.h. auf eine Filtervorrichtung aufgegeben und so vom Öl und dem der Wachsentfernung dienenden Lösungsmittel abgetrennt.The presence of paraffinic waxes in petroleum and petroleum products makes handling very difficult, primarily because of the tendency of the waxes to crystallize below certain temperatures, which vary from case to case. (See Ullmann's Enzyclopadie der techn. Chemie, 4th edition, vol. 20, p. 548 ff, Verlag Chemie 1981). Lighter petroleum fractions can be simply cooled down to the wax
Crystallization temperature of the waxes and pressing are removed via filters.
The predominantly technically used process for dewaxing wax-containing oils works with solvents, mostly low-boiling aliphatic hydrocarbons such as pentane, hexane, heptane, octane etc., ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone and the like, also aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene and the like. and mixtures of solvents. Here, too, the wax-containing oil that had been mixed with the solvent is cooled until the wax is deposited in the form of fine particles. The separated wax particles are placed on a wax separator, ie on a filter device, and thus separated from the oil and the solvent used to remove the wax.
Schwierigkeiten bei der praktischen Durchführung bereitet die keineswegs konstante Durchsatzkapazität bei der Filtration, die u.a. von der Kristallstruktur des abzutrennenden Wachses bestimmt wird. Diese wird von verschiedenen Parametern bei der Durchführung, am stärksten aber von der Art und Weise des Kühlens beeinflußt. Die Art der Wachse, deren Kristallgröße und -tracht, geben Anlaß zu einer relativ großen Variationsbreite bezüglich der Textur und Permeabilität des Filterkuchens, die natürlich eine Anpassung der Filtrationsbedingungen erforderlich macht. Gefürchtet ist die Ausbildung sehr feiner Wachs-Kristallite, die sich sehr schwer filtrieren lassen und teilweise durch die Filter wandern, um dann im Öl Trübungen zu verursachen. Die Technik hat zur Verbesserung der Filtration allgemein, insbesondere der Filtrationsgeschwindigkeit und der Ölausbeute Entparaffinierungs-Hilfsmittel (Dewaxing Aids) entwickelt, die den Ölen während des Entparaffinierungsprozesses zugesetzt werden.Difficulties in practical implementation are caused by the by no means constant throughput capacity during filtration, which is determined, among other things, by the crystal structure of the wax to be separated. This is influenced by various parameters during the implementation, but most strongly by the type of cooling. The nature of the waxes, their crystal size and their appearance, give rise to a relatively wide range of variations in the texture and permeability of the filter cake, which of course makes it necessary to adapt the filtration conditions. There is a fear of the formation of very fine wax crystallites, which are very difficult to filter and sometimes migrate through the filters to cause cloudiness in the oil. The technique has developed dewaxing aids to improve filtration in general, particularly filtration speed and oil yield, which are added to the oils during the dewaxing process.
Derartige Entparaffinierungshilfsmittel sind in der Regel Polymere z.B. vom Typ der α-Olefincopolymere (OCP), der Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymere (EVA) und der Polyalkyl(meth)acrylsäureester von C2-C20-Alkoholen. In der US-A 4 451 353 wird ein Entparaffinierungsverfahren vorgeschlagen, bei dem wachshaltige Öl-Destillate mit einem Lösungsmittel (Dewaxing Solvent) und einem Entparaffinierungshilfsmittel (Dewaxing Aid) auf Polyacrylat-Basis gemischt werden, das Gemisch abgekühlt wird, so daß sich ein dünner Brei aus festen Wachspartikeln bildet und durch Filtration Trennung von Wachs und den flüssigen Anteilen aus entparaffiniertem Öl und Lösungsmittel vorgenommen wird. Das Entparaffinierungs-Hilfsmittel besteht dabei aus:
- A. einem Polyacrylat und
- B. einem n-Alkylmethacrylat-Polymeren,
- A. a polyacrylate and
- B. an n-alkyl methacrylate polymer,
Ansprüche und Beschreibung der US-A lassen keinen Zweifel daran zu, daß die Methacrylat-Komponente aus Estern von im wesentlichen linearen, also unverzweigten Alkoholen mit 10 bis 20 Kohlenstoffatomen bestehen solle.
Der Fachmann mußte demnach von einer besonderen Eignung dieser Gruppe von Methacrylsäureestern als "Dewaxing Aids" ausgehen. Die bestehenden Modellvorstellungen über die Wirkweise derartiger polymerer "Dewaxing Aids" versuchen zwar plausible Erklärungen für den Einfluß des Polymerzusatzes auf das Kristallisationsverhalten der Wachse zu geben. Sie bieten aber keine Auswahlregeln für bestimmte Polymerisatzusammensetzungen an. (Vgl. etwa Ullmann, loc.cit. Bd. 20, Verlag Chemie 1981).
Es bestand daher nach wie vor die Aufgabe, wirkungsvollere "Dewaxing Aids" möglichst auf der Basis an sich bekannter Ausgangsstoffe zur Verfügung zu stellen, die andererseits keine wesentlichen Änderungen bei der Durchführung der Entparaffinierungstechnologie von Erdölen bzw. Erdölprodukten mit sich bringen sollten. Nach den vorliegenden Ergebnissen kann das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wesentlich beitragen.
Die Erfindung betrifft somit ein Verfahren zur Lösungsmittel-Entparaffinierung von paraffinhaltigen Erdölprodukten, insbesondere Mineralöldestillaten unter Verwendung mindestens eines zur Entparaffinierung geeigneten Lösungsmittels und eines polymeren Entparaffinierungs-Hilfsmittels (Dewaxing Aid) auf Polyacrylatbasis, wobei man die zu entparaffinierenden Produkte mit dem Lösungsmittel und dem polymeren Entparaffinierungsmittel mischt, die erhaltene Mischung abkühlt und das abgeschiedene Wachs abtrennt,
dadurch gekennzeichnet,
daß man als Entparaffinierungs-Hilfsmittel ein Polymergemisch bestehend aus:
- I) einem Polymerisat P-1 aus Estern der Acrylsäure mit C10 - C40-Alkoholen und
- II) einem Polymerisat P-2 aus Estern der Methacrylsäure mit Alkanolen, die einen Anteil von mehr als 10 Gew.-% an verzweigten Alkanolen aufweisen,
Im allgemeinen liegt die Zusatzmenge an den Polymerisaten P1 und P2 bei 0,01 bis 1 Gew.-% bezogen auf die wachshaltigen Substrate.
Das vorliegende Verfahren schließt vorteilhaft unmittelbar an dem Stand der Technik, beispielsweise in der US-A 4 451 353 angegebenen an.Claims and description of US-A leave no doubt that the methacrylate component should consist of esters of essentially linear, that is to say unbranched, alcohols having 10 to 20 carbon atoms.
Accordingly, the person skilled in the art had to assume that this group of methacrylic acid esters was particularly suitable as "dewaxing aids". Try the existing model ideas about the mode of action of such polymeric "dewaxing aids" to give plausible explanations for the influence of the polymer additive on the crystallization behavior of the waxes. However, they do not offer any selection rules for certain polymer compositions. (See for example Ullmann, loc.cit. Vol. 20, Verlag Chemie 1981).
It was therefore still the task to provide more effective "dewaxing aids" as far as possible on the basis of known starting materials, which on the other hand should not bring about any significant changes in the implementation of the dewaxing technology of petroleum or petroleum products. According to the present results, the method according to the invention can contribute significantly to solving this problem.
The invention thus relates to a process for solvent dewaxing of petroleum products containing paraffin, in particular mineral oil distillates, using at least one solvent suitable for dewaxing and a polymeric dewaxing aid (dewaxing aid) based on polyacrylate, the products to be dewaxed being treated with the solvent and the polymeric dewaxing agent mixes, the mixture obtained cools and the separated wax separates,
characterized,
that as a dewaxing aid, a polymer mixture consisting of:
- I) a polymer P-1 from esters of acrylic acid with C10 - C40 alcohols and
- II) a polymer P-2 from esters of methacrylic acid with alkanols which have a proportion of more than 10% by weight of branched alkanols,
In general, the amount of polymer P1 and P2 added is from 0.01 to 1% by weight, based on the wax-containing substrates.
The present method advantageously follows directly from the prior art, for example given in US Pat. No. 4,451,353.
Hinsichtlich der zur Entparaffinierung geeigneten wachshaltigen Substrate auf Erdölbasis ist keine ausgesprochene Limitierung des Verfahrens zu erkennen, jedoch kommen unter praktischen Gesichtspunkten insbesondere wachshaltige Destillatöle infrage, insbesondere solche mit Siedebereich ca. 300 bis ca. 600 Grad C, einer Dichte von ca. 0.08 - 0.09 g/cc bei 15 Grad C, einer Viskosität von ca. 10 - 20 cSt/100 Grad C einem "Pour Point" von ca. 30 - 50 Grad C und einem Wachsgehalt (trocken) von ca. 10 - ca. 25 Gew.-%. Von besonderer Bedeutung sind Destillatöle derjenigen Fraktionen, die Schmieröle und Spezialöle im Siedebereich 300 - 600 Grad C einschließen, insbesondere solche mit einem mittleren Siedepunkt von ca. 400 - 450 Grad C.With regard to the petroleum-based wax-containing substrates suitable for dewaxing, there is no pronounced limitation of the process, but from a practical point of view, wax-containing distillate oils are particularly suitable, in particular those with a boiling range of approximately 300 to approximately 600 degrees C, a density of approximately 0.08 - 0.09 g / cc at 15 degrees C, a viscosity of approx. 10 - 20 cSt / 100 degrees C, a "pour point" of approx. 30 - 50 degrees C and a wax content (dry) of approx. 10 - approx. 25 wt. -%. Of particular importance are distillate oils from those fractions that include lubricating oils and special oils in the boiling range 300 - 600 degrees C, especially those with an average boiling point of approx. 400 - 450 degrees C.

Ebenfalls in an sich bekannter Weise können den Ansätzen Molekulargewichtsregler, insbesondere Schwefelregler spezielle Mercaptane wie z.B. Dodecylmercaptan in den üblichen Mengen, beispielsweise 0,01 bis 2 Gew.-% bezogen auf die Monomeren, zugesetzt werden.
Zweckmäßigerweise arbeitet man unter einem Schutzgas wie z.B. CO₂.
Man geht zweckmäßig so vor, daß man die Monomeren in einem geeigneten mit Rührer ausgestatteten Polymerisationsgefäß im Lösungsmittel löst, gegebenenfalls zusammen mit Regler und Initiator und zunächst entgast, beispielsweise mittels CO₂-Schnee, und anschließend erwärmt. Als Anhalt können z.B. 80 ± 10 Grad C gelten. Der Initiator kann fallweise auch der erwärmten Mischung zugesetzt werden. Gegebenenfalls wird weiteres Monomeres und Initiator sowie Regler zudosiert. Die Temperatur steigt in der Regel weiter an, beispielsweise auf 140 ± 10 Grad C. Gegebenenfalls können durch Wärmezufuhr und/oder weitere Initiatorzugabe für die Nachpolymerisation geeignete Bedingungen hergestellt werden. Die Gesamtpolymerisationsdauer liegt im allgemeinen unter 12 Stunden.Molecular weight regulators, in particular sulfur regulators, special mercaptans such as dodecyl mercaptan in the usual amounts, for example 0.01 to 2% by weight, based on the monomers, can also be added to the batches in a manner known per se.
Appropriately, you work under a protective gas such as CO₂.
The procedure is appropriately such that the monomers are dissolved in a suitable polymerization vessel equipped with a stirrer in the solvent, if appropriate together with the regulator and initiator and first degassed, for example using CO₂ snow, and then heated. For example, 80 ± 10 degrees C can be used as a guide. The initiator can also be added to the heated mixture in some cases. If necessary, further monomer and initiator and regulator are metered in. The temperature generally rises further, for example to 140 ± 10 degrees C. If necessary, suitable conditions for the postpolymerization can be established by adding heat and / or further addition of initiator. The total polymerization time is generally less than 12 hours.
Die Polymerkomponenten P-1 und P-2 können vorteilhafterweise als separat hergestellte Präparationen zur Anwendung kommen. Man mischt sie dann in den oben genannten Gewichtsverhältnissen und den beabsichtigten Anteilen den zu entparaffinierenden Substraten zu, entweder in Substanz oder in einem kompatiblen Lösungsmittel wie wachsfreiem Mineralöl oder einem der Lösungsmittel bzw. -gemische L, wobei dafür Sorge zu tragen ist, daß der Trübungspunkt der zu entparaffinierenden Öle überschritten wird, beispielsweise durch Erwärmen auf 50 - 120 Grad C. Die Zugabe der Polymerisate P-1 und P-2 kann gemeinsam oder separat vorgenommen werden. Die Zugabe kann vor dem Abkühlen oder während des Abkühlens, dann aber in gekühlten Lösungsmitteln geschehen. Das Abkühlen kann beispielsweise in Anlehnung an US-A 3 773 650 geschehen. Vorteilhaft setzt man das Gemisch der Polymerisate P-1 und P-2 zusammen mit dem Entparaffinierungs-Lösungsmittel L in einer Kühlzone und bei einer Temperatur zu, die auf den "Pour Point" des zu gewinnenden entparaffinierten Öls abgestimmt ist.
Der Kühlungsschritt bewirkt die Bildung eines leichtflüssigen Breis, der neben festen Wachs-Partikeln entparaffiniertes Öl und Lösungsmittel L enthält. Die Wachs-Partikel enthalten in der Regel Polymerisat P-1 und P-2. Die Temperatur, auf die abgekühlt werden muß, hängt von der Art des zu entparaffinierenden Substrats und der gesamten Vorgehensweise ab. Im allgemeinen arbeitet man bei der Entparaffinierung im Temperaturbereich 0 Grad C bis -50 Grad C, im Falle der Anwendung eines Lösungsmittelgemischs L aus einem Keton und einem arom. Kohlenwasserstoff ist die Entparaffinierungstemperatur bei -10 Grad C bis -30 Grad C anzusetzen.The polymer components P-1 and P-2 can advantageously be used as separately prepared preparations. They are then mixed in the abovementioned weight ratios and the intended proportions of the substrates to be dewaxed, either in bulk or in a compatible solvent such as wax-free mineral oil or one of the solvents or mixtures L, taking care that the cloud point the oils to be dewaxed are exceeded, for example by heating to 50-120 degrees C. The polymers P-1 and P-2 can be added together or separately. The addition can take place before cooling or during cooling, but then in cooled solvents. The cooling can take place, for example, in accordance with US Pat. No. 3,773,650. The mixture of the polymers P-1 and P-2 is advantageously added together with the dewaxing solvent L in a cooling zone and at a temperature which is matched to the "pour point" of the dewaxed oil to be obtained.
The cooling step causes the formation of a fluid liquid slurry, which contains solid wax particles, dewaxed oil and solvent L. The wax particles usually contain polymer P-1 and P-2. The temperature to which cooling must depend on the type of substrate to be dewaxed and the overall procedure. In general, dewaxing is carried out in the temperature range from 0 degrees C to -50 degrees C, when using a solvent mixture L of a ketone and an aromatic hydrocarbon, the dewaxing temperature is to be set at -10 degrees C to -30 degrees C.
Ganz unerwarteterweise geht aus den gewonnenen Ergebnissen mit den Mischungen aus den Polymerisaten P-1 und P-2 hervor, daß bei Verwendung von PAMA-Mischkomponenten mit mehr oder weniger hohen Verzweigungsgraden der Alkylreste deutlich bessere Wirksamkeit und ausgeprägtere synergistische Effekte auftreten als mit im wesentlichen linearen Poly-alkyl(meth)acrylaten. Die Befunde wurden an den unterschiedlichsten Entparaffinierungslösungsmitteln und paraffinhaltigen Substraten d.h. "Feedstocks" gewonnen, wie durch die folgenden Beispiele belegt wird, so daß allgemeine Gültigkeit angenommen werden kann.Quite unexpectedly, the results obtained with the mixtures of the polymers P-1 and P-2 show that when using PAMA mixed components with more or less high degrees of branching of the alkyl radicals, significantly better effectiveness and more pronounced synergistic effects occur than with essentially linear ones Poly-alkyl (meth) acrylates. The findings were made on a wide variety of dewaxing solvents and paraffin-containing substrates, i.e. "Feedstocks" obtained, as evidenced by the following examples, so that general validity can be assumed.

Die Filtrationsapparatur besteht aus einem Stahlfilter mit Deckel und Kühlmantel und wird mit Hilfe eines Kryostaten im Umlauf gekühlt. Es wird Filtertuch aus der Entparaffinierungsanlage der entsprechenden Raffinerie verwendet. Das Filtervolumen beträgt 100 ml. Der Filter ist über einen Glasaufsatz mit 2-Wegehahn mit einem Meßzylinder verbunden. Mittels einer Öl-Drehschieberpumpe, einem Druckminderventil und einem Manometer kann ein definiertes Vakuum an die Filtrationsapparatur angelegt werden. Das zu entparaffinierende Mineralöldestillat wird in der Wärme (oberhalb des Cloud Point) mit den Entparaffinierungs-Lösungsmitteln versetzt und gerührt bis eine klare Lösung resultiert. Diese wird unter Zuhilfenahme eines Kryostaten mit Temperatursteuerung mit definierter Geschwindigkeit auf die gewünschte Filtrationstemperatur abgekühlt. Der Filter wird auf diese Temperatur vorgekühlt.The filtration apparatus consists of a steel filter with a lid and cooling jacket and is cooled in circulation using a cryostat. Filter cloth from the dewaxing plant of the corresponding refinery is used. The filter volume is 100 ml. The filter is connected to a measuring cylinder via a glass attachment with a 2-way valve. A defined vacuum can be applied to the filtration apparatus using an oil rotary vane pump, a pressure reducing valve and a pressure gauge. The mineral oil distillate to be dewaxed is mixed with the dewaxing solvents in the heat (above the cloud point) and stirred until a clear solution results. This is carried out with the help of a cryostat with temperature control cooled down to the desired filtration temperature. The filter is pre-cooled to this temperature.
Sämtliche Filtrationsbedingungen wie Lösungsmittel: Feedstock-Verhältnis, Verhältnis der Lösungsmittel bei Gemischen, Abkühlraten und Filtrationstemperatur entsprechen den in der jeweiligen Raffinerie angewandten Bedingungen. Da das Arbeiten mit Propan im Labor problematisch ist, wurde in solchen Fällen Isooctan anstelle von Propan eingesetzt.All filtration conditions such as solvent: feedstock ratio, solvent ratio for mixtures, cooling rates and filtration temperature correspond to the conditions used in the respective refinery. Since working with propane in the laboratory is problematic, isooctane was used instead of propane in such cases.
Nach Erreichen der Filtrationstemperatur wird das Gemisch in den vorgekühlten Filter überführt und Vakuum wird angelegt. Das Filtratvolumen wird in Abhängigkeit von der Zeit gemessen und die Filtrationsrate F wird als Steigung der linearen Auftragung von V/2S² gegen t/V bestimmt, wobei V das Filtratvolumen, t die Zeit in sec. und S die Filterfläche in cm² ist.After the filtration temperature has been reached, the mixture is transferred to the precooled filter and a vacuum is applied. The filtrate volume is measured as a function of time and the filtration rate F is determined as the slope of the linear plot of V / 2S² against t / V, where V is the filtrate volume, t is the time in seconds and S is the filter area in cm².
Nach Abdestillieren der Lösungsmittel mittels eines Rotationsverdampfers, gegebenenfalls azeotrop unter Zuhilfenahme eines weiteren Lösungsmittels wird das erhaltene entparaffinierte Öl zur Gewichtskonstanz getrocknet und gravimetrisch die blausbeute bestimmt. Die Bestimmung des Ölgehalts im abfiltrierten Paraffin erfolgt nach ISO 2908.
