TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to the field of olefin preparation, specifically, to a fluidized bed reactor, a device for preparing low-carbon olefin, and a method for preparing low-carbon olefin.
BACKGROUND ART
Low-carbon olefin, namely ethylene and propylene, are two important basic chemical raw materials, and their demand is constantly increasing. Generally, ethylene and propylene are produced through petroleum routes, however, due to the limited supply and high price of petroleum resources, the cost of producing ethylene and propylene from petroleum resources continues to increase. In recent years, people have begun to vigorously develop technologies for converting alternative raw materials into ethylene and propylene. Wherein, an important kind of alternative raw materials for the production of low-carbon olefin is oxygen-containing compounds, such as alcohols (methanol, ethanol), ethers (dimethyl ether, methyl ethyl ether), esters (dimethyl carbonate, methyl formate), etc. These oxygen-containing compounds can be converted from coal, natural gas, biomass and other energy sources. Certain oxygen-containing compounds can already be produced on a large scale, such as methanol, which can be produced from coal or natural gas, and the process is very mature and can achieve a production scale of millions of tons. Due to the wide range of sources of oxygen-containing compounds and the economy of the process of converting them to low-carbon olefin, the process of converting oxygen-containing compounds to olefin (OTO), especially the process of converting methanol to olefin (MTO), is receiving more and more attention.
The current device for producing olefin from oxygen-containing compounds is similar to the catalytic cracking unit, both of which adopt a continuous reaction-regeneration mode. PCT application WO 2018072139A1 discloses a turbulent fluidized bed reactor, device and method for preparing propylene and C4 hydrocarbons from oxygen-containing compounds; this technical solution sets n reactor feed distributors in the reaction zone of the turbulent fluidized bed reactor, the concentration of oxygen-containing compounds is relatively uniform, which weakens the inhibition of the olefin alkylation reaction by the MTO reaction, and the regenerated catalyst is directly introduced at the bottom of the reaction zone, which is beneficial to the alkylation reactions of ethylene, propylene and methanol.
Chinese patent applications with publication numbers CN108794294A and CN108786669A respectively record a fluidized bed distributor and a fluidized bed reactor including the fluidized bed distributor, wherein the fluidized bed distributor includes a first distributor and a second distributor, the first distributor is located at the bottom of the fluidized bed, and the second distributor is located in at least one area downstream of the gas flow of the first distributor, and the feed is distributed in different areas through different raw materials streams to achieve mass transfer control, then coordinate and optimize the co-feeding system.
The Chinese patent application with publication number CN107235821A describes a device for producing olefin from methanol, wherein a first external circulation catalyst distributor and a first catalyst redistributor are provided in the reaction zone of the fluidized bed reactor, and a second external circulation catalyst distributor, a low activity catalyst distributor, the cooled catalyst distributor and the second catalyst redistributor are provided in the regeneration zone, which not only ensure the uniform distribution of temperature and activity of the reactants and catalysts, but also ensure the contact effect between the reaction gas and the catalyst.
In the prior art, there is still a phenomenon of uneven distribution of the regenerated catalyst in the fluidized bed reactor, resulting in large bed temperature fluctuations and a greater impact on the selection of dienes; in addition, the regeneration process mainly uses air as the regeneration gas. By adjusting the amount of auxiliary gas in the regeneration feed gas, the “temperature flying” phenomenon during the regeneration process can be prevented. However, this method will produce a large amount of greenhouse gas CO2 and is not conducive to environmental protection. If air is used to burn carbon deposit to partially regenerate the catalyst, the rate of burning carbon is faster, which is not conducive to the control of the amount of residual carbon in the catalyst and increases the difficulty in the operation process.

In one embodiment, the catalyst distribution in the fluidized bed reactor is measured, and the mean square error σ2 is used to characterize the heterogeneity of the catalyst. The expression is as shown in formula (1), wherein the larger the value, the more uneven the catalyst distribution in this area; the minimum value 0 means that the concentration at each position is equal to the average concentration value under the ideal state. Wherein, σ12 represents the concentration distribution of the regenerated catalyst relative to the three phases (gas phase, circulating catalyst, regenerated catalyst);
wherein, cre refers to the particle concentration of the regenerated catalyst in each grid area required for calculation; c is the particle concentration of all catalysts in each grid area; m represents the number of the measured reactor area cross-sections, in different measurements generally is 5≤m≤50; i represents the type of catalyst fed to the reactor.
For example, in the present invention, the fluidized bed reactor 7 preferably includes a catalyst first feeding inlet(s) 24 and a catalyst second feeding inlet(s) 27 to feed different catalysts, such as circulating catalysts and regenerated catalysts respectively; correspondingly, in this case, i=2, c1=cre, wherein cre refers to the particle concentration of the regenerated catalyst in each grid area required for the calculation, and c2=ccirculate, where ccirculate refers to the particle concentration of circulating catalyst in each grid area required for calculation.
It is known to those skilled in the art that the data of each grid point of each section can be obtained according to CFD calculation, and then be extracted for data processing, thereby obtaining the mean square error data.
