A regeneration device, a device for preparing low-carbon olefins, and a use thereof are provided. The regeneration device includes a first regenerator and a second regenerator; a first activation zone of the first regenerator is connected to the second regenerator through a pipeline, such that a catalyst in the first activation zone is able to be delivered to the second regenerator; and the second regenerator is connected to a gas-solid separation zone of the first regenerator through a pipeline, such that a catalyst in the second regenerator is able to be delivered to the gas-solid separation zone. The regeneration device can adjust the coke content, coke content distribution, and coke species in a dimethyl ether/methanol to olefins (DMTO) catalyst to control an operation window of the DMTO catalyst, which improves the selectivity for low-carbon olefins and the atomic economy of a methanol-to-olefins (MTO) technology.

The invention relates to a process of converting methanol in a fluidized bed reactor comprising feeding a methanol-containing feedstock into a fluidized bed reactor, contacting the feedstock with a catalyst, to produce a product comprising ethylene and propylene under effective conditions; the fluidized bed reactor comprises a diluent-phase zone and a dense-phase zone, wherein the diluent-phase temperature difference between any regions of the diluent-phase zone having a methanol concentration of more than 0.1 wt % (preferably more than 0.01 wt %) in the fluidized bed reactor is controlled to be less than 20° C., and the dense-phase temperature difference between any regions in the dense-phase zone having a methanol concentration of more than 0.1 wt % (preferably more than 0.01 wt %) in the fluidized bed reactor is controlled to be less than 10° C.

A process for producing lower olefins from oxygenates includes the steps of contacting a feedstock comprising oxygenates with molecular sieve catalyst in fluidized bed reaction zone under effective conditions, to produce product including ethylene and/or propylene;

the effective conditions include that in the fluidized bed reaction zone, the weights of catalysts having various carbon deposition amounts are controlled, calculated as the weight of the molecular sieve in the catalysts, to have the following proportions based on the total weight of the catalysts in the fluidized bed reaction zone:

the proportion of the weight of the catalyst having a coke deposition amount of less than 3 wt % is 1-20 wt %;

the catalyst having a coke deposition amount of from 3 wt % to less than 5 wt % represents 10 to 70 wt %;

the catalyst having a coke deposition amount from 5 wt % to 10 wt % represents 10 to 88 wt %.

A composition of fuel gas that when mixed with spent catalyst and oxygen has an induction time that allows bubbles to break up while combusting in the regenerator. Bubble breakage in a dense bed avoids generation of a flame that can generate hot spots in the regenerator which can damage equipment and catalyst. The fuel gas can be obtained from paraffin dehydrogenation products, so it can sustain operation of the unit even in remote locations. Heavier streams can be mixed with lighter streams to obtain a fuel gas composition with a desirable induction time to avoid such hot spots. Mixing of a depropanizer bottom stream and/or deethanizer overhead stream with lighter gas streams such as cold box light gas or PSA tail gas can provide the desired fuel gas composition.

The present invention relates to a process of converting methanol to olefins, comprising: feeding a feedstock comprising methanol to a fluidized bed reactor to contact with catalysts to produce an olefin product, wherein the process at least partially deactivates the catalysts to format least partially deactivated catalysts; feeding spent catalysts from the at least partially deactivated catalysts to a regenerator for regeneration, thereby forming regenerated catalysts, and returning the activated catalysts from the regenerated catalysts to the reactor via a regenerated catalyst line; characterized in that on the regenerated catalyst line, the oxygen content by volume in the gas phase component at the outlet of the regenerated catalyst line is controlled to be less than 0.1%, preferably less than 0.05%, and more preferably less than 0.01%.
