In the present work, a hydrocracking catalyst suitable for selective hydrocracking of straight run diesel oil to produce high-quality ethylene cracking feedstock at low cost was developed, by optimizing the composition of catalyst support materials, using amorphous silicon aluminum and aluminum oxide with high mesopore content as the main support, and modified Y zeolite with excellent aromatic ring opening selectivity as the acidic component. The catalyst has in-depth characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, N<sub>2</sub>-low temperature adsorption-desorption, NH<sub>3</sub>-temperature-programmed desorption, and IR techniques. And its catalytic cracking straight run diesel oil performance was evaluated. The results show that the prepared catalyst has high polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon ring opening cracking selectivity. However, alkanes retained in diesel distillates can achieve the goal of producing more ethylene cracking feedstocks with low BMCI value under low and moderate pressure conditions. This work may shed significant technical insight for oil refining transformation.展开更多

The catalyst CEP was specially designedfor this process, which has bi-functional catalytic activities for both carbonium ion reaction andfree radical reaction, so as to maximize the yields of ethylene and propylene. The commercial trialshowed that the yield of ethylene and propylene was 20.37% and 18.23% respectively inmaximum ethylene operation with Daqing AR as feedstock, and the yield of ethylene and propylenewas 9.77% and 24.60% respectively in maximum propylene operation by using the same feedstock.Compared with steam cracker, the feed cost of CPP is much lower for producing ethylene andpropylene.展开更多

In order to ensure safe production and process operating, management and optimization of alarm information are challenge work that must be confronted. A new process alarm management method based on fuzzy clustering- ranking algorithm is proposed. The fuzzy clustering algorithm is used to cluster rationally the process variables, and difference driving decision algorithm ranks different clusters and process parameters in every cluster.

文摘石脑油热裂解制乙烯(C_2H_4)是一种能源密集型工艺(每吨C_2H_4高达40 GJ热量),会形成大量焦炭和氮氧化物(NO_x),而且每产生1 kg C_2H_4就有1.8~2 kg的二氧化碳(CO_2)排放量。我们提出了石脑油氧化还原氧化裂解(redox oxy-cracking,ROC)的替代方法。在该两步法中,石脑油裂解产生的氢气(H_2)首先在氧化还原催化剂的作用下与其晶格氧选择性地燃烧。随后氧化还原催化剂被空气再次氧化并释放热量,以满足裂解反应对热量的需求。这个强化过程减少了附加能量的消耗以及CO_2和NO_x的排放。此外,由于H_2的选择性燃烧,C_2H_4和丙烯(C_3H_6)的形成可以被增强。在本研究中,我们基于最近开发氧化还原催化剂的实验数据,使用ASPEN Plus~?模拟ROC工艺。与传统的石脑油裂解相比,ROC工艺可将能耗和CO_2排放量降低52%。该工艺的上游部分少消耗约67%的能量,同时每千克石脑油原料多产生28%的C_2H_4和C_3H_6。
