摘要: 为研究乙烯焦油作为生产针状焦原料的可行性,以某炼厂乙烯焦油及对其蒸馏切割所得窄馏分油为研究对象,通过元素分析、红外光谱(FT-IR)、核磁共振氢谱(1H NMR)、生焦诱导期测定及焦化进料热稳定性模拟等方法,对油样的基本性质、结构组成和热稳定性进行研究,并通过偏光显微镜、X射线衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)等方法对各油样在不同炭化条件下的产物性能进行分析。结果表明,乙烯焦油全馏分沥青质含量高达22.04%,且烯烃等热反应活性组分含量较高,热稳定性较差,生焦诱导期仅为34 min。蒸馏处理所得馏分油不含沥青质,热反应活性组分含量较低,热稳定性变好,生焦诱导期均大于55 min。窄馏分油由于分子分布范围较窄、热反应活性组分含量低,相较于全馏分形成的半焦具有更好的各向异性结构和微晶结构。两段炭化相较于一段炭化更有利于中间相的融并发育及有序排列,形成纤维状的广域流线型结构。两段炭化制得焦炭热膨胀系数(CTE)的值均优于一段炭化,馏分油(ET-C)在两段炭化条件下制得针状焦的CTE值为2.49×10−6 ℃−1,符合针状焦CTE值不大于2.60×10−6 ℃−1的标准。Abstract: In this study, the feasibility of using ethylene tar (ET) as raw material for needle coke production was investigated. The basic properties, structural compositions, and thermal stability of ethylene tar and its narrow fractions were studied by elemental analysis, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), the coke induction period, and simulation of thermal stability of coking feed. The properties of the products were analyzed by a polarized light microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the content of asphaltenes was up to 22.04% in ET, and the thermal stability was poor due to the high content of olefin and other thermally sensitive components. Thus, the coke induction period of ET was only 34 min. After distillation, narrow fractions had no asphaltenes and a low quantity of heat-sensitive components, resulting in improved fraction thermal stability with coke induction period of more than 55 min. Due to its narrow molecular distribution and low content of heat-sensitive components of narrow fractions, the semi-cokes formed from narrow fractions possessed better anisotropic and microcrystalline structures than those formed from the ET. Compared with one-stage carbonization, the two-stage carbonization was more conducive to the coalescence, development, and orientation of mesophase, leading to the formation of a fibrous wide-area streamline structure. The needle coke prepared from the fraction of ET-C had a lower thermal expansion coefficient (CTE), as low as 2.49 ×10−6 ℃−1, meeting the CTE requirement of needle coke.
