And (3) carrying out gas-liquid separation on the hydrodewaxing product in the step (3), carrying out saturated hydrogen dissolution on the obtained generated oil, and then, feeding the oil into a hydrofinishing reaction zone for treatment, wherein the hydrofinishing catalyst is a conventional noble metal hydrogenation catalyst in the field. The catalyst comprises the following components: noble metal Pt and/or Pd is/are used as a hydrogenation component, and a catalyst carrier consists of a small-grain Y-shaped molecular sieve, alumina and amorphous silica-alumina; the small-grain Y-type molecular sieve has the following properties, namely SiO2/Al2O3The molar ratio is 40-120, the average diameter of crystal grains is 200-700 nm, preferably 300-500 nm, the unit cell constant is 2.425-2.435 nm, and the relative crystallinity is more than or equal to 95%, preferably 95-120%. The specific surface area of the catalyst is 900-1200 m2The pore volume is 0.5-0.80 mL/g, wherein the pore volume of the secondary mesopores with the diameter of 1.7-10 nm accounts for more than 50% of the total pore volume, preferably 50-80%, and more preferably 60-80%.
Based on the mass of the supplementary hydrofining catalyst, the content of Pt and/or Pd is generally 0.1-2%, and the rest is a carrier. The catalyst support generally comprises, on a mass basis: 5-40% of small-crystal-grain Y-shaped molecular sieve, 20-65% of amorphous silica-alumina and l 0-40% of alumina. The post-purification catalyst may be selected from any suitable commercial catalysts, or may be prepared according to conventional methods in the art, for example, CN104588073A discloses a method for preparing a post-purification catalyst.
The process conditions of the post-refining reaction zone are generally as follows: the reaction pressure is 4.0-20.0 MPa, preferably 10.0-15.0 MPa; the liquid hourly space velocity is 0.3-6.0 h-1Preferably 0.5 to 3.0 hours-1(ii) a The average reaction temperature is 150-380 ℃, preferably 200-360 ℃.
In the present invention, the post-polishing reaction zone preferably comprises two reaction zones connected in series, namely a first post-polishing zone and a second post-polishing zone. Correspondingly, the catalyst in the first additionally refining stage is an additionally refining catalyst A, and the catalyst in the second additionally refining stage is an additionally refining catalyst B. The metal content x2 in the catalyst B is lower than the metal content x1 in the catalyst A, and the content Y2 of the Y-type molecular sieve in the catalyst B is higher than the content Y1 of the Y-type molecular sieve in the catalyst A. Preferably, x2 is 0.1 to 1.5 percentage points lower than x1, and y2 is 5 to 50 percentage points higher than y 1. More preferably, x2 is 0.5 to 1.5 percentage points lower than x1, and y2 is 10 to 40 percentage points higher than y 1.
In the first and second additional refining stages, the additional refining catalyst used has different properties due to the difference in metal content and small-grained Y-type molecular sieve content. The supplemented and refined catalyst A has relatively high metal content and relatively low Y-type molecular sieve content, so that the hydrogenation performance is high and the cracking activity is weak. And (2) when the hydrogenated product of the hydrogenation treatment section is in contact reaction with a complementary refining catalyst A, unsaturated aromatic hydrocarbon generated by partial hydrogenation is subjected to further hydrogenation at a lower reaction temperature because the cracking activity of the catalyst is limited and the acid saturation function is strong, and most of carbon-carbon double bonds are saturated to obtain the naphthenic base special oil, so that the yield of the target product is improved.
The complementary refined catalyst B has relatively low metal content and higher Y-type molecular sieve content, so that the cracking performance of the catalyst is higher. The small ring or polycyclic naphthenic hydrocarbon with long side chain contained in the oil fraction generated by the catalyst A after the additional refining is further contacted with the additional refining catalyst B for reaction, the side chain on the naphthenic hydrocarbon is subjected to chain scission or isomerization reaction, and simultaneously, a small amount of unsaturated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon can be subjected to complete double bond saturation reaction.
Therefore, the catalyst grading combination adopted in the complementary refining stage well achieves the purposes of hydrogenation saturation of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in the distillate oil, retention of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in an ideal component, chain scission or isomerization of a long side chain on the cyclic hydrocarbon and pour point reduction. So that the hydrogenation method can be used for directly producing special oil products with good stability and high yield of target products.
In order to obtain better hydrogenation effect, the process conditions of the first and second additional refining sections should also be adaptively adjusted to match the catalyst grading scheme adopted by the additional refining section. If the average reaction temperature t2 of the second additional refining stage is higher than the average reaction temperature t1 of the first additional refining stage, t2 is preferably 10-150 ℃ higher than t1, and more preferably 30-120 ℃. The average reaction temperature of the first complementary refining reaction section is generally 150-350 ℃, and preferably 180-330 ℃; the average reaction temperature of the second additional refining reaction section is 180-380 ℃, preferably 220-350 ℃.
In the present invention, the first additional refining stage and the second additional refining stage may be disposed in one reactor, or may be disposed in two or more reactors, respectively.
In the present invention, the method may further comprise the step (5): and (4) recycling a part of the hydrofinishing liquid obtained in the step (4) to the step (3), mixing the hydrofinishing liquid with the liquid product obtained by hydrodewaxing, and then mixing the hydrogen with hydrogen.
The production method of the special oil product adopts two-stage process flow, and the oil generated in the hydrotreating-hydrodewaxing stage can be used as the feed of the supplementary refining stage only by simple steam stripping, so that the process is greatly simplified. The invention simplifies the process of the hydrogenation treatment of the naphthenic distillate and can ensure the product quality by selecting the catalyst with proper performance. The invention has strong raw material adaptability, adopts different hydrogenation-supplement refining catalyst grading combination modes according to different characteristics of the raw materials, can produce different types of special oil products, and has flexible process flow. And the reaction temperature gradient of the noble metal hydrogenation complementary refining reaction area is uniform, thereby being beneficial to reducing energy consumption, producing special oil products, greatly simplifying the process flow and saving the investment.
The hydrotreating reaction zone includes a catalyst that is a hydrofining catalyst. The hydrorefining catalyst has the functions of desulfurization, denitrification and aromatic hydrocarbon saturation. When the raw material is naphthenic base distillate oil or light deasphalted oil, and the lubricating oil base oil such as transformer oil, refrigerator oil and rubber filling oil which has no requirement on viscosity-temperature performance is produced, the hydrotreating reaction zone can be only used as a hydrotreating catalyst; the product of the hydrotreating reaction zone enters a reaction zone filled with a hydrodewaxing catalyst, the long side chain of the aromatic hydrocarbon is subjected to hydrodewaxing to reduce the pour point of the produced oil, and the produced oil is subjected to steam stripping separationRemoving H therefrom2S and NH3Then the saturated aromatic hydrocarbon can be fed into reaction zone in which the hydrogenation complementary refining catalyst is held, after the pour point of the product is reduced, the complementary refining product can be passed through the product separation process so as to obtain various special oil products with good stability.
The complementary refining catalyst used in the invention adopts a small-grain Y-shaped molecular sieve as an acid component, the Y-shaped molecular sieve has the characteristics of high silica-alumina ratio, high crystallinity, multiple secondary pores and large specific surface area, and is matched with amorphous silica-alumina and hydrogenation active metal components Pt and Pd, so that the exertion of aromatic hydrogenation saturation activity is promoted, the selective ring opening and chain scission of aromatic hydrocarbon are facilitated, the diffusion of reaction products is facilitated, and the carbon capacity is greatly enhanced, thereby improving the activity, selectivity and stability of the catalyst. The catalyst is especially suitable for hydrogenation dearomatization reaction of naphthenic base raw material, especially naphthenic base raw material with high viscosity and high content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.
In the present invention, two different types of the post-purification catalysts are preferably used in the post-purification reaction zone. The catalyst A used in the first additional refining section has stronger hydrogenation performance due to relatively higher metal content and lower Y-type molecular sieve content, and the proper cracking activity of the catalyst A also has important catalytic action on the hydrogenation saturation of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. While catalyst B used in the second additional refining stage had a relatively high Y-type molecular sieve content and a relatively low metal content and thus exhibited partial cracking activity. For naphthenic distillate, the partial cracking performance of the catalyst B can effectively carry out chain scission or isomerization reaction on the aromatic hydrocarbon with side chain alkane, and the pour point is further reduced. Therefore, the cyclic hydrocarbon generated by partial hydrogenation in the first complementary refining section can complete hydrogenation saturation of most or even all aromatic rings in the second complementary refining section at a relatively high reaction temperature, so as to obtain a special oil product with good stability.
Detailed Description
The process of the present invention is described in more detail below with reference to specific examples.
As shown in figure 1, naphthenic base raw oil passes through a pipeline 1, circulating hydrogen passes through a pipeline 2, and the naphthenic base raw oil and the circulating hydrogen are mixed and then enter a hydrofining reactor 3 for reactions such as sulfur removal, nitrogen saturation and aromatic hydrocarbon saturation. The effluent of the hydrorefining reaction enters a hydrodewaxing reactor 5 through a pipeline 4, contacts with a hydrodewaxing catalyst, and undergoes a hydrodewaxing reaction with long side chain of aromatic hydrocarbon; the effluent of the hydrogenation and pour point depression reaction enters a gas-liquid separator 9 through a pipeline 6 for gas-liquid separation, and the obtained hydrogen-rich gas is treated through a pipeline 8 and optional hydrogen sulfide removal and then is mixed with make-up hydrogen introduced through a pipeline 7 to obtain circulating hydrogen; the obtained liquid generated oil is mixed with hydrogen gas through a pipeline 14 through a pipeline 10, then the mixed oil enters a hydrogen mixing tank 11 for full hydrogen mixing, the obtained effluent of saturated dissolved hydrogen enters a first supplementary refining reactor 13 through a pipeline 12, and the effluent of saturated dissolved hydrogen is contacted with a high-activity hydrogenation supplementary refining catalyst A for deep aromatic hydrogenation saturation reaction. The effluent obtained by the first supplementary refining enters a second supplementary refining reactor 16 through a pipeline 15, and is in contact reaction with a low-activity hydrogenation supplementary refining catalyst B to break chains of long side chains of cycloparaffins or isomerize and reduce pour points and saturate incompletely aromatic hydrocarbons, and meanwhile, the annular integrity of the cycloparaffins is kept, so that the low-temperature fluidity of a target product is facilitated. The second post-finishing reaction effluent is passed via line 17 to a gas-liquid separator 18 (typically comprising a high pressure separator and a low pressure separator) and the resulting hydrogen-rich gas is purified and withdrawn via line 19. The liquid obtained from the gas-liquid separator 18 enters a fractionating tower 21 through a pipeline 20, the gas is discharged through a pipeline 22, and the obtained special oil products with different specifications are discharged through pipelines 23, 24 and 25 respectively.

Meanwhile, the process conditions are also matched. The properties of the specialty oil fraction are shown in Table 4.
Example 4
The order of grading of the additionally refined catalyst was changed as in example 3. The properties of the specialty oil fraction were also obtained as shown in Table 4.
From the data listed in table 4, it can be seen that for the prior art scheme of feedstock hydrogenation, the properties of the special oils obtained under different conditions are different, and the catalyst grading method of example 3 is the best.
As can be seen from the data of examples 1-4, the naphthenic base oil raw material of the invention can obtain the special oil product with qualified pour point through the processes of hydrotreating, hydrodewaxing and deep supplementary hydrorefining. And wherein, the scheme of catalyst grading is adopted in the complementary refining reaction zone, and the obtained special oil product has better stability and more ideal hydrogenation effect.
