在催化裂化工业中,将部分温度较低的待生剂与高温再生剂作为两股进料引入提升管可实现增加剂油比、提高目标产品收率的目标。今在一套大型冷模实验装置上,采用热颗粒示踪技术考察了一种能够实现冷、热两股催化剂混合的FCC提升管预提升结构内冷、热颗粒的混合特性;采用混合指数来量化冷、热颗粒在预提升段内的混合行为;并分析了操作条件对冷、热颗粒混合的影响。研究结果表明,在预提升底部,温度分布明显不均,混合指数偏小,随着提升管预提升轴向高度的提高,温度分布逐渐趋于均匀,混合指数也变大,说明冷热颗粒混合得越好;而中心管表观气速较低时,混合指数相对较大,冷、热颗粒混合较好;当冷颗粒与热颗粒循环强度比例接近3:2时,冷、热颗粒混合较为理想。
The mixing of cold and hot particles in a pre-lifting scheme with two strands of catalyst inlets for FCC riser was investigated in a large cold Plexiglas model. The distribution of local temperature in the pre-lifting zone was measured using a thermal tracer technique. A mixing index was used to quantify the mixing performance. Moreover, the variation of the mixing index with the operating conditions was also obtained. The experimental results show that the local temperature is not homogeneous and the mixing index is small in the cross sections near the hot particle inlet. However, the local temperature becomes uniform and the values of the mixing index are large in the high cross sections. The mixing index is relatively larger under lower velocity of the central tube,which indicates that the mixing of cold-hot solids is better in those locations. The mixing of the cold and hot solids becomes desirable when the mass flux ratio is 3:2.
