この発明は石炭の液化方法に関し、石炭の液化反応を効

である。[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for liquefying coal, and aims to efficiently carry out the coal liquefaction reaction, improve the safety of equipment operation, and improve the yield of light product oil at the same time. It is something to do.
石炭の液化は固体石炭を液状物に転換する技術であり、
反応の原理は従来から既に知られており、通常は高温高
圧下で石炭に水素を添加する方法が採られる。Coal liquefaction is a technology that converts solid coal into liquid.
The principle of the reaction has been known for a long time, and the usual method is to add hydrogen to coal under high temperature and pressure.
このような石炭への水素添加に於て、導入される水素の

プロセスでは反応系内圧力はほぼ150〜700気圧と
非常に高圧であった。In such hydrogen addition to coal, the form of hydrogen introduced is generally to use molecular hydrogen gas directly or to use hydrogen in a solvent with hydrogen donating ability. On the other hand, it is technically difficult to directly introduce solid coal continuously into a high-pressure reaction system, so when introducing coal, the solid coal is pulverized, mixed with medium oil, and made into a slurry that can be pressurized under high pressure. A method is adopted in which the slurry is continuously pumped into the high-pressure system using a slurry pump. The amount of medium oil in this reservoir is generally equal to or more than that of coal in order to maintain good slurry properties. Therefore, when hydrogen gas is introduced into the reaction system, in order for hydrogen to be added to coal molecules, hydrogen must first be dissolved into the medium oil, and then this dissolved hydrogen must come into contact with solid coal. It is assumed that the reaction occurs for the first time. However, the solubility of hydrogen gas in medium oil is relatively low, and the amount dissolved per liter of medium oil is approximately 1 mole under general liquefaction reaction conditions. Therefore, in order to increase the hydrocracking reaction rate of coal, it is necessary to increase the amount of hydrogen gas dissolved in the medium oil, which results in an increase in the reaction system pressure. Therefore, in the conventional liquefaction process using molecular hydrogen, the pressure inside the reaction system was extremely high, approximately 150 to 700 atmospheres.

When performing hydrocracking of coal using hydrogen in H
Since DS also functions as a medium oil, pulverized coal is
It can be mixed with DS to form a slurry. Also, H
When using DS, it is possible to increase the hydrogen concentration in the liquefaction reaction system. For example, when using tetralin, a typical substance of HDS, 1 liter of tetralin contains 10 moles or more of hydrogen. It will be done. Therefore, in a system using HDS, not only does the coal liquefy rate become faster due to the sufficient presence of hydrogen, but the need to increase the reaction system pressure, which is the case when hydrogen gas is used, is reduced, making equipment operation easier. safety will be improved.

非水素供与性成分に変化したこと、等が考えられる。As described above, HDS is very preferable from the viewpoint of reaction and equipment safety, but in order to apply it to an industrial-scale continuous coal liquefaction process, it is necessary to recycle HDS from an economic standpoint. There is a need. However, HDS
After it participates in the coal liquefaction reaction, it changes to dehydrogenated products, so in order to recycle it as HDS, a process of hydrogenating the dehydrogenated product and regenerating it into HDS is required, that is, a solvent regeneration process. becomes. Therefore, the solvent after liquefaction will go through the solvent hydrogenation regeneration process and be recycled back to the original slurry process. In the process, the maximum HDS concentration in the slurry solvent is about 30%.The causes of this decrease in HDS concentration include, for example, liquefied components from coal mixed into the solvent and lowering the HD8 concentration; As the reaction in the solvent regeneration process progresses, <<H
DS playback was not fully achieved, and HD
It is conceivable that S itself decomposed and changed into a non-hydrogen-donating component, unrelated to the coal liquefaction reaction.
HD8成分としては、多環芳香族部分水素化物が一般的
でアシ、殊に2環、3環芳香族部分水素化物が石炭液化
用HDSとして使用される。これら2.3環芳香族物質
及びそれらの誘導体は概ね沸点180〜400℃程度で

が相当置台まれていることがあり、また石炭からの液化
成分がこの中に次々と混入する可能性も高く、循環使用
によってHDSの濃度が低下する危険性を有す。As the HD8 component, polycyclic aromatic partial hydrides are generally used, and especially 2- and 3-ring aromatic partial hydrides are used as HDS for coal liquefaction. Since these 2.3-ring aromatic substances and their derivatives generally have a boiling point of about 180 to 400°C, HDS can be obtained by hydrogenating components within this range. Therefore, it is possible to use components within this range as HD8 for coal liquefaction; however, there may be a considerable amount of components within this range that are difficult to form into HDS, and there may also be a large amount of components in this range that are difficult to form into HDS. There is a high possibility that HDS will be mixed into this one after another, and there is a risk that the concentration of HDS will decrease due to cyclic use.
更に、例えば沸点180〜400℃成分、或いは250
〜400℃成分等を水素化してHDSを製造、或いは再

である。何故なら、このような沸点範囲の溶剤を原料と
した場合には溶剤中に非常に多くの成分が含まれている
ことは容易に想像でき、またこれらの各成分のHDSへ
の転化速度も種々異なるだろうことは想像に難くない。Furthermore, for example, a component with a boiling point of 180 to 400°C, or a component with a boiling point of 250°C
When HDS is produced or regenerated by hydrogenating components at temperatures of up to 400°C, the conversion rate to HDS is generally poor. This is because when a solvent with such a boiling point range is used as a raw material, it is easy to imagine that the solvent contains a large number of components, and the conversion rate of each of these components to HDS also varies. It's not hard to imagine that it would be different.

ととなる。Therefore, by processing the raw material consisting of this mixed component at once, H
When producing DS, for example, if HDS production conditions are made mild, components with a high conversion rate will be converted to HDS, but components with a slow conversion rate will be difficult to convert into HDS. On the contrary, '1 (DS
If the manufacturing conditions are made harsher, components with a slow conversion rate can also be
However, once a component with a high conversion rate is converted to HDS, it is further hydrogenated, and for example, the aromatic ring is completely destroyed, so it is generally difficult to achieve a high conversion rate to HDS. At the same time, a portion of HDS also has the possibility of undergoing aromatic ring saturation, ring cleavage, or irreversible isomerization reactions, etc., independently of the coal liquefaction reaction, and converting into non-hydrogen-donating components. For the above reasons, unless special consideration is given, the concentration of HDS in the solvent will gradually decrease.

飽和反応等には顕著な効果を示さないことが判明した。By the way, in the coal liquefaction reaction, since the starting material of coal is a very complex polymer mixture, the liquefaction reaction route is also very complicated. However, in general, large-molecular solid coal is first decomposed under liquefaction reaction conditions into medium-molecular molecules that are soluble in the polarization solvent. Next, this middle molecule is further decomposed and reduced in molecular weight, and finally, the reaction is completed by reducing the molecular weight to a liquid at room temperature or a substance close to it. In this case, the initial rate of decomposition into solvent-soluble middle molecules is fast, and these middle molecules are further decomposed and reduced in molecular weight. The speed of the late reaction is relatively slow. Furthermore, regarding the contents of each of these reactions, of course various reactions must occur simultaneously, but the main reaction is the cleavage of ether bonds between aromatic unit structures, etc. in the later stage. Reactions include saturation or ring opening of aromatic rings, cleavage of aliphatic side chains, and the like. Based on the content of these reactions, the inventors have accumulated various basic experimental studies and found that HDS such as tetralin
It was found that although it is very effective in the early stage of the reaction, it does not show any significant effect in the late stage of the aromatic ring saturation reaction.

用困難となる。Therefore, the use of a catalyst that accelerates the late reaction is considered, but if a highly active catalyst is used in the liquefaction reaction system, the performance will deteriorate in a very short period of time, making it economically difficult to use. .
この原因は、石炭中に含まれる高分子成分或いは灰分等
が強烈に触媒を被毒するためである。The reason for this is that the polymer components, ash, etc. contained in the coal strongly poison the catalyst.

である。In this method, a tetralin-rich solvent and pulverized coal are first mixed to form a slurry, and the coal is liquefied under high temperature and pressure. At this time, the appropriate mixing ratio of coal and solvent is 1 to 5 parts by weight of solvent to 1 part by weight of coal. This is because if the amount of solvent is less than the same amount as coal, it is difficult to form a good slurry, and if the amount is more than 5 times the amount of coal, the amount of heat required to heat the slurry becomes too large, which is economically disadvantageous. In addition, the solvent component should preferably contain 50% or more of tetralin, which has the ability to donate hydrogen, so that a sufficient amount of hydrogen can be secured for the hydrogenolysis of coal. For example, the slurry at a temperature of 400 to 44
A liquefaction reaction is carried out for about 1 to 120 minutes in a first liquefaction reaction zone at 0°C and a pressure of 30 to 100 kg/crll. Of course, the above reaction conditions do not impose any restrictions on the method of this invention, but are merely an example of implementing the method of this invention. However, the reaction conditions illustrated are relatively mild in both temperature and pressure compared to the general liquefaction method using molecular hydrogen gas, and when HDS is used, the reaction can be performed under such mild conditions. It should be understood that this will proceed smoothly.

Next, solid-liquid separation is performed to separate liquefied coal and unreacted coal. Various methods such as filtration, centrifugation, and distillation have been developed as this solid-liquid separation technique, and any of these methods can be employed in the method of this invention. Here, unreacted coal containing ash is removed, but a portion of this is circulated to the first liquefaction reaction zone and subjected to the liquefaction reaction again to improve the lightness of the coal. On the other hand, liquefied coal containing a solvent is separated into medium-heavy oil components and light oil components. The separated medium and heavy oil components, which are essentially free of ash and unreacted coal, are then introduced into the second liquefaction reaction zone where they are hydrogenated and lightened. However, it is introduced here.

も充分可能である。Therefore, a catalyst is used in this second liquefaction reaction zone, but since most of the substances that have an adverse effect on the catalyst are removed in advance, deterioration of the catalyst's performance is suppressed. Furthermore, in this reaction zone, since the medium-heavy oil component itself exists as a liquid substance under heating, there is no need to slurry it as in the first liquefaction reaction zone, and there is no need to add a slurrying solvent. Therefore, it is convenient to introduce molecular hydrogen gas as a hydrogen source in this reaction zone. On the other hand, since the essence of the reaction is hydrogenation and decomposition reaction, the catalyst used in the second liquefaction reaction zone is preferably a dual-functional catalyst that activates both of these reactions. For example, it is fully possible to reuse a commercially available desulfurization catalyst.
勿論、如何なる触媒を如何なる形で使用するかは、この

On the other hand, the light oil component of the liquefied coal containing the solvent after the solid-liquid separation is separated into a gas mainly composed of hydrocarbons and a room temperature liquid. The product obtained in this manner is separated into each component having a temperature of 350°C or higher.

こととなる。The component with a boiling point of 210 to 350° C. obtained here is introduced into the third reaction zone together with hydrogen gas and subjected to a hydrogenation reaction in the presence of a catalyst. That is, in this third reaction zone, the component mainly undergoes a partial hydrogenation reaction of aromatic rings to produce HDS'%, that is, mainly tetralin. The components that have undergone the hydrogenation reaction are separated from unreacted hydrogen and other gases, and then
The entire amount is returned to the fractionation area and is separated into the aforementioned components.

べきである。Almost all of the thus obtained tetralin and unreacted tetralin are recovered in a fraction with a boiling point of 200 to 210° C., and are recycled as HDS. At this time, by mixing a small amount of a component with a boiling point of 350° C. or higher as a slurry-forming solvent, the viscosity of the solvent is improved and the properties of the slurry are improved. However, internally mixing this component into the circulating solvent is undesirable because it lowers the concentration of HDS and reduces the liquefaction rate of one coal in the first liquefaction reaction zone. Therefore, the amount of this heavy component mixed should preferably be less than 50 wt4 of the amount of slurrying solvent.

It has great technical and economic value, such as improving the safety of equipment operation and improving the yield of light product oil.
