B. Field of industrial application for the purpose of the invention Hydrocarbon raw materials include basic nitrogen compounds such as amines, anilines, pyridines, quinolines, amides, diazas, or pyrroles, carbazoles, nitriles, etc. Contains non-basic nitrogen compounds, and when a catalytic reaction is performed using this as a raw material, it may cause deterioration of the catalyst and a decrease in the yield of the reaction product, and it may also cause discoloration of hydrocarbon products and the formation of gummy substances. etc., etc. The present invention relates to a method for purifying hydrocarbons containing nitrogen compounds by removing them, and a treatment agent for purification. BACKGROUND ART The most conventional method for removing nitrogen compounds contained in hydrocarbons is to use high-pressure hydrogen to ammonify and remove nitrogen compounds. However, with this method, if the raw material hydrocarbon contains compounds that easily react with hydrogen, such as olefins and aromatics, these are also hydrogenated, so it is not possible to effectively utilize them, and hydrogen is wasted unnecessarily. It has the disadvantage of being exposed. Additionally, some hydrocarbons undergo hydrogen decomposition to produce gases with low added value such as methane and ethane. Other removal methods include cleaning with water or acid solutions to remove nitrogen compounds;
This method is applicable to basic or water-soluble nitrogen compounds, but not to non-basic or poorly water-soluble nitrogen compounds. As methods for adsorbing and removing nitrogen compounds, methods using zeolites (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-18578) and methods using titanium oxide/silica (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-40195) are known, but basic nitrogen compounds However, since the adsorption capacity for non-basic nitrogen compounds is small, the nitrogen concentration cannot be lowered sufficiently and the treatment agent must be regenerated more frequently. Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention solves the problem of nitrogen compounds contained in hydrocarbons without affecting compounds that easily react with hydrogen, such as olefins and aromatics contained in raw material hydrocarbons. The object of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently removing and purifying a substance, regardless of whether it is basic or non-basic, water-soluble or water-insoluble, and a processing agent for purification. (b) Means for Solving the Constituent Problems of the Invention The method for refining hydrocarbons according to the present invention is characterized in that a hydrocarbon containing a nitrogen compound is brought into contact with a treatment agent comprising phosphoric acid supported on a carrier. do. The supported phosphoric acid undergoes transformation depending on the temperature at which it is used and becomes orthophosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid or metaphosphoric acid, but any form can be used and is not particularly limited. As the carrier, it is preferable to use porous substances such as silica, diatomaceous earth, alumina, silica alumina, zeolite, and activated carbon, which are commonly used as carriers for catalysts and processing agents, but are not limited to these. It is sufficient that phosphoric acid is immobilized and supported on the carrier as described above, and the larger the supported amount, the larger the amount of nitrogen compounds adsorbed. The amount supported varies depending on the carrier used, but generally about 5 to 75% by weight of phosphorus pentoxide is supported. The supporting method is generally an impregnation method, a kneading method, etc., but is not particularly limited. A suitable temperature for treating hydrocarbons containing nitrogen compounds is room temperature to 400°C. The higher the temperature, the higher the removal rate of nitrogen compounds, but there is a possibility that compounds other than nitrogen compounds will react. Although the removal rate of nitrogen compounds varies depending on the LHSV, the practically usable range is 100 to 0.1/hr. As the apparatus, a conventional fixed bed adsorption device is preferably used, but a fluidized bed, a moving bed, a stirred bed, etc. can also be used. When using a carrier other than activated carbon, the treatment agent used in the method of the present invention, which is made by supporting phosphoric acid on a carrier, for removing nitrogen compounds from hydrocarbons, is heated to a high temperature with an oxygen-containing gas. Through treatment, nitrogen compounds can be burned, removed, regenerated, and reused. The hydrocarbons to which the method of the present invention is applied are not particularly limited as long as they contain nitrogen compounds, but
Preferably, catalytic cracking oil such as straight run oil or FCC oil,
Examples include pyrolysis oils and hydrocarbon oils obtained from lime such as naphthalene. Examples of processes to which the present invention is preferably applied include the following. As a pretreatment when modifying raw materials: When reacting a naphthalene mixture with an alkylating agent to produce various alkylnaphthalenes, silica alumina, crystalline silicate,
Zeolite, ion exchange resins, solid acids such as heteropolyacids, and liquid acids such as aluminum chloride and inorganic acids are used, but these are all poisoned by nitrogen compounds and lose their activity, so the catalyst must be replaced or regenerated frequently. There is a need. When naphthalenes are treated with hydrogen, some of the naphthalene rings become tetralin rings, which is undesirable as it leads to loss of raw materials and an increase in hydrogen consumption. According to the method of the present invention, nitrogen compounds can be easily removed without changing the form of the raw material. As a method for stabilizing the storage of raw materials: Catalytic cracking oil may become gummy or colored due to polymerization and oxidation of nitrogen compounds contained therein. Ordinary hydrogen treatment methods consume a large amount of hydrogen and are not economical. In the method of the present invention, nitrogen compounds can be easily removed without consuming hydrogen, and storage stability can be improved. Action Basic nitrogen compounds such as amines, anilines, pyridines, quinolines, amides, and diazas in hydrocarbon raw materials react with supported phosphoric acid through acid-base neutralization reaction to form phosphoric acid. It is immobilized on a carrier as a compound. On the other hand, although the behavior of non-basic nitrogen compounds is not necessarily clear, pyrroles and carbazoles polymerize on supported phosphoric acid to form resins, and nitriles are hydrolyzed on supported phosphoric acid due to trace moisture in the raw materials. It is assumed that the nitrogen gas is converted into basic nitrogen compounds such as ammonia and amide and removed. Examples 1 to 8 Commercially available phosphoric acid was diluted with distilled water to adjust the phosphoric acid concentration.
The content was 80% by weight. This was impregnated into a predetermined amount of carrier, dried, and then baked at 350°C to prepare a processing agent. Fill 100 ml of the obtained treatment agent into a SUS precision adsorber with an inner diameter of 16.1 mm to remove nitrogen compounds with an N concentration of 410 ppm by weight (including
A 95 wt% naphthalene oil containing 330 wt ppm of basic nitrogen compounds and the rest of non-basic nitrogen compounds was passed through the tank to measure the N concentration in the produced oil. The results are shown in Table 1.
In addition, no conversion of naphthalene was observed in any of the treatments. Comparative Examples 1 to 5 Treating agents not carrying phosphoric acid were also treated in the same manner as in the above examples, and the N concentration of the treated oil was measured. The results are shown in Table 1.

[Table] Comparative Example 7 100 ml of a 10% by weight phosphoric acid aqueous solution was added to 100 ml of the LCO fraction used in Example 9, and after shaking at room temperature for 1 hour, the N concentration contained in the LCO fraction was measured.
The N concentration was 113 ppm by weight. Example 16 When the treatment agent used in Example 1 was passed through the oil for 600 hours under the same conditions as in Example 1, the N concentration in the resulting oil was 410 ppm by weight. This treatment agent was regenerated with air at 550°C. The treatment agent after regeneration was tested in the same manner as in Example 1, and the N concentration in the resulting oil obtained after 100 hours was measured and found to be 23 ppm by weight, indicating that regeneration was possible. Example 17 A simulated raw material was prepared by adding pyrrole, carbazole, and indonol to benzene at an N concentration of 20 ppm by weight each, and tested in the same manner as in Example 1. When the N concentration in the produced oil obtained after 100 hours was measured, it was 3 ppm by weight, indicating that it was also effective in removing non-basic nitrogen compounds. Comparative Example 8 Example using SiO 2 that does not support phosphoric acid
A test similar to 17 was conducted. When the N concentration in the produced oil obtained after 20 hours was measured, it was 58 ppm by weight. C. Effect of the invention Nitrogen compounds in hydrocarbons, regardless of whether they are basic or non-basic, water-soluble or water-insoluble,
Highly removable. No need to use hydrogen. There is almost no decomposition or hydrogenation of hydrocarbons, and it is effective as a pretreatment or storage stabilization treatment for various hydrocarbons. It can be processed under relatively mild conditions and consumes little utility. Since the adsorption capacity is extremely large, equipment costs are low.
