Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for dechlorinating a fraction of used oil.
  • used lubricating oils recovered in garages or service stations, represent very large tonnages, which, for France, amount to 100,000 tonnes, for example 120,000 tonnes per year.
  • the present invention therefore aims to reduce the chlorine content of used oils to a rate compatible with recycling operations in refineries of these oils and it proposes, for this purpose, to use solid composite products capable of fixing the chlorinated ions. , already known in the art for other applications and under different conditions of use.
  • chlorine traps based on alumina or metal oxides or metal hydroxides such as CaO, Na 2 0, K 2 0, MgO, as well as the corresponding hydroxides, for eliminating the chlorine present in the liquid or gaseous flows of process units, in particular in reforming or isomerization units.
  • compositions have, in general, a particle size of the order of 0.5 to 3 mm and they usually neutralize the chlorine by adsorption. They are generally used at ambient temperature or of the order of at most 100 ° C. and at atmospheric pressure, and they usually retain about 15% of the chlorine present in the treated charges.
  • the Applicant has established that such chlorine traps are particularly well suited to a partial dechlorination operation of used oils, upstream of any recycling operation in a refinery, in particular of vacuum distillation, and that, unexpectedly, their chlorine fixing power increases significantly with the temperature of the treated oils, the chlorine trap being able to retain at least 40% of the chlorine present in the treated oil at a temperature between 300 and 400 ° C. and at atmospheric pressure. As will be seen below, it is naturally possible to operate at different temperatures and / or pressures.
  • the invention therefore relates to a process for dechlorinating a fraction of used lubricating oil, optionally in admixture with another hydrocarbon feed, this process being characterized in that, upstream of a recycling operation in used oil refinery, the used oil is subjected to an at least partial dechlorination operation by passing over a bed of particles of a neutralizing composition by adsorption containing, as active compound capable of fixing the chlorine at least one oxide of 'a metal belonging to groups I and II of the Periodic Table and / or at least one hydroxide of a metal belonging to groups I and II of the Periodic Table.
  • the active compound of the neutralizing composition will be a calcium, magnesium, sodium or potassium oxide, or alternatively a calcium, magnesium, sodium or potassium hydroxide. Even more preferred active compounds are calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide.
  • the dechlorination phase will be carried out under conditions such that at least 40% and, preferably, 60% of the amount of chlorine present in the used oil is retained by the neutralizing composition by adsorption.
  • These conditions are, for example, the following: a temperature of at least 150 ° C and, preferably, of the order of 400 ° C, an hourly space velocity of the used oil of 0.5 hi (volume d used oil, by volume of adsorbent and per hour) and a pressure substantially equal to atmospheric pressure.
  • the used oil prior to the dechlorination operation, will be subjected to an atmospheric distillation phase at a temperature of 300 to 400 ° C in order to remove the water and the light solvents which it contains, and the dechlorination operation will be carried out on the used oil coming from this atmospheric distillation, possibly after heating of this oil, for example by heat exchange, to increase the efficiency of the dechlorination.
  • the used oil thus dechlorinated may then be subjected, for example, to vacuum distillation, preferably in admixture with another charge, such as an atmospheric distillation residue, with a view to separating in particular from gas oil under vacuum. , a vacuum distillate and a bituminous vacuum residue, without the formation, as is usual at this stage, of hydrochloric acid responsible for marked corrosion in the installations.
  • the dechlorination compositions used in the process of the invention are well known in the art and generally contain at least 25% by weight of active compound. They are marketed, for example, under the trade names TRAP'IT by the Company Catalysts and Chemicals Europe, SELEXSORB HC1 by the Company ALCOA, and DISCOVERY ALUMINAS by the Company Dycat International.
  • the preferred composition for carrying out the invention is that sold under the name TRAP'IT, which contains, in% by weight, from 23.0 to 27.0% of CaO, constituting the active product, and 43 to 53.0% zinc oxide, serving as a support, the complement to 100% consisting of a binder.
  • TRAP'IT which contains, in% by weight, from 23.0 to 27.0% of CaO, constituting the active product, and 43 to 53.0% zinc oxide, serving as a support, the complement to 100% consisting of a binder.
  • This composition generally has an apparent specific mass of 0.720 to 0.800 cm 3 / g, a pore volume of 0.35 to 0.45 cm Vg and a specific surface of at least 22 m2 / g.
  • She is usually in the form of rods with a diameter of 1.2 to 1.8 mm and a length of about 4.0 to 12.0 mm.
  • Figure 1 is a general diagram illustrating this form of implementation of the method
  • FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the increase in the dechlorination rate, expressed in%, as a function of the temperature, expressed in ° C.
  • the used oil to be treated arriving via line 1, is first of all topped, by atmospheric distillation, in a column 2.
  • the water present in the used oil (4 to 10% by weight) is evacuated at the head of the column by line 3, while the light solvents are evacuated by line 4.
  • the chlorine trap contained in the flask 6 retains about 60% of the chlorine present in the used oil, and the treated oil, which contains only about
  • 200 ppm of chlorine is evacuated via a line 8 in the direction of a vacuum distillation column 9, into which it is introduced, for example, with an atmospheric distillation residue arriving via line 10.
  • the chlorine content of the treated oil is compatible with the conditions of vacuum distillation, which takes place without any particular risk of corrosion due to the formation of hydrochloric acid in column 9.
  • Example 1 which follows relates to an application of the method according to the invention using the device of FIG. 1, it being understood that other forms of implementation are within the scope of the invention.
  • Example 2 illustrates the improvement in the dechlorination of the treated oil as the temperature of the dechlorination treatment rises.
  • Example 1 This example relates to the treatment, in the device of FIG. 1, of a used oil having the following characteristics: - density: 909.9 kg / m 3 ,
  • This oil is subjected in column 1 to atmospheric distillation under the following conditions: transfer temperature: 360 ° C., atmospheric pressure.
  • TRAP'IT registered trademark
  • the oil leaving balloon 6 via line 8 now contains only 123 ppm by weight of chlorine and 62% of the chlorine present in the oil at the inlet of balloon 6 have therefore been fixed and retained by the composition TRAP'IT .
  • the oil thus partially dechlorinated is then mixed with an atmospheric distillation residue, in the following proportions 7/100 by weight, and the mixture is introduced into the vacuum distillation tower 9, where it is processed under the following conditions:
  • Diesel oil chlorine content ⁇ 50 ppm
  • Vacuum distillate chlorine content ⁇ 3 ppm
  • Vacuum residue chlorine content 15 ppm.
  • the hydrochloric acid content at the top of the column is determined by measuring the chlorides in the condensing water and it is found that the dechlorination of the used oil makes it possible to reduce the chloride content in the overhead water up to '' below 20 mg / 1 and the pH is around 5 to avoid any problems.
  • Example 2 This example aims to show the advantage of carrying out the dechlorination operation at a temperature as high as possible.
  • the dechlorination phase is preferably carried out at around 350 ° C.
  • the composition of DYCAT 115, in% by weight, is given in Table II below.
  • the DYCAT 115 is in the form of spheres of approximately 3 to 5 mm in diameter. TABLE II
