Abstract

A hydrogenation method and distillate two-phase hydrogenation reactor in which the size of an upper space of the reactor is greater than that of a lower catalyst bed part. The reactor comprises 2 to 4 catalyst beds. An inner component for gas replenishment and for stripping a liquid-phase stream containing impurities is arranged between at least one adjacent catalyst bed and comprises a separator plate and exhaust pipes. The separator plate is provided with multiple downcomer through holes. The separator plate is connected with a plurality of exhaust pipes. The exhaust pipes are vertically arranged above the separator plate. The top parts of the exhaust pipes are in contact with the lower part of the upper catalyst bed.

First claim

2. The distillate two-phase hydrogenation reactor according to claim 1 , wherein the reactor comprises 2 to 4 catalyst beds.

3. The distillate two-phase hydrogenation reactor according to claim 1 , wherein an inner component for gas replenishment and for stripping a liquid-phase stream containing impurities is arranged between at least one adjacent catalyst bed.

4. The distillate two-phase hydrogenation reactor according to claim 3 , wherein the inner component comprises a gas-liquid contact component and a stripping component.

5. The distillate two-phase hydrogenation reactor according to claim 4 , wherein the gas-liquid contact component and the stripping component are arranged together.

6. The distillate two-phase hydrogenation reactor according to claim 3 , wherein the inner component comprises a separator plate and exhaust pipes.

7. The distillate two-phase hydrogenation reactor according to claim 6 , wherein the separator plate is provided with multiple downcomer through holes.

8. The distillate two-phase hydrogenation reactor according to claim 6 , wherein the separator plate is connected with the exhaust pipes.

9. The distillate two-phase hydrogenation reactor according to claim 6 , wherein the exhaust pipes are vertically arranged above the separator plate.

10. The distillate two-phase hydrogenation reactor according to claim 6 , wherein the top parts of the exhaust pipes are in contact with the lower part of the upper catalyst bed.

11. A liquid-phase hydrogenation method for removing impurities from a hydrocarbon raw material, characterized in using the reactor according to claim 1 .

12. The liquid-phase hydrogenation method according to claim 11 , comprising:
circulating a portion of a hydrogenated liquid-phase product, and mixing it with fresh raw material into a liquid-phase material, forming, after dissolving hydrogen, a saturated liquid-phase stream, which is introduced into the reactor from the upper part,
carrying out a hydrogenation reaction on a hydrogenation catalyst bed at the upper part of the reactor,
passing an effluent after the reaction through the internal component to be mixed with hydrogen gas, to supplement the amount of hydrogen gas dissolved in the liquid-phase material,
introducing the liquid-phase material supplemented with dissolved hydrogen into the next hydrogenation catalyst bed,
introducing gas-phase hydrogen into the catalyst bed through the exhaust pipes of the stripping component, and
forming a gas-liquid countercurrent on the catalyst bed, so that the concentration of hydrogen gas on the catalyst bed is increased, wherein the hydrogen gas strips hydrogen sulfide and ammonia impurities produced in the reaction.

13. The liquid-phase hydrogenation method according to claim 12 , wherein the volume ratio of the circulated liquid-phase product to the fresh raw material is 0.1:1 to 10:1.

14. The liquid-phase hydrogenation method according to claim 12 , wherein the amount of hydrogen gas supplemented among the catalyst beds is 0.5:1 to 10:1 in terms of hydrogen-oil volume ratio.

15. The liquid-phase hydrogenation method according to claim 12 , wherein the reaction temperature at which the liquid-phase material is passed through the catalyst bed is 130 to 450° C.

16. The liquid-phase hydrogenation method according to claim 12 , wherein the reaction pressure at which the liquid-phase material is passed through the catalyst bed is 1 to 20 MPa.

17. The liquid-phase hydrogenation method according to claim 12 , wherein and the liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) at which the liquid-phase material is passed through the catalyst bed is 0.5 to 15 h −1 .
