Hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof, in particular to a high-activity hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst suitable for treating straight-run oil and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Along with the gradual deterioration of the quality of crude oil processed in China, a refinery gradually starts to process some heavy raw oil, the feeding of a subsequent hydrogenation device also becomes heavy, and the impurity content is also increased. As an important technology for directly converting inferior raw oil into acceptable fuel products and chemical raw materials, the processing direction is also moving toward heavier raw oil. Processing heavy feedstock oil will place higher demands on the activity of the hydroprocessed catalyst: on the one hand, the hydrotreating catalyst should have a larger pore size so as to ensure that large-size molecules can be efficiently transferred to the active center; on the other hand, the active center of the catalyst should have stronger hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis properties, and can rapidly complete hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis processes. The reaction temperature of the bed where the hydrotreating catalyst is located shows a gradient change, and thus, the catalyst is required to have different metal centers and acid centers. The traditional catalyst preparation method is that a metal solution is directly immersed on a carrier, and metal in the catalyst obtained by roasting can interact with the carrier to form spinel, so that the utilization rate of the metal is reduced; meanwhile, strong acid in the catalyst is reduced in the process of loading metal, so that the activity of the catalyst is gradually deteriorated. Therefore, how to improve the preparation process of the catalyst, not only can fully disperse metal, but also can selectively and properly reserve the acid center in the carrier, so that the acid center and the hydrogenation center are reasonably matched, and the guarantee of the activity stability of the catalyst becomes a key for preparing the hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst.
Chinese patent CN 103785404A discloses a preparation method of a hydrotreating catalyst, which is mainly to pre-impregnate an alumina carrier with an ammonium salt solution, and then transfer the pre-impregnated alumina carrier into a closed container for heat treatment, so as to improve the surface performance of the alumina carrier, improve the dispersity of metal components on the surface of the body, and further greatly improve the denitrification performance of the catalyst.
Chinese patent CN 107442126a discloses a preparation method of a hydrotreating catalyst, in which water-soluble silicone oil and carbon precursor are introduced into alumina carrier in sequence or simultaneously to improve the properties of the carrier. The introduced carbonic acid can disperse active metal centers, and the introduced silicon and other auxiliary agents can cooperatively form acidic centers with proper polyacid, so that the synergistic effect of the metal and the acidic centers can be regulated, and the denitrification performance of the catalyst is further improved.
Chinese patent CN105833879a discloses a hydrotreating catalyst and a preparation method thereof, mainly adopting a combination of complexing agent roasting-drying. Introducing complexing agent into the prepared alumina carrier, and roasting in inert gas to obtain the modified alumina carrier. And (3) after immersing the metal solution in an equal volume, drying to obtain the hydrotreating catalyst. The catalyst solves the problem of high ratio of L acid on the surface of the alumina carrier, and effectively weakens the strong interaction between the active metal and the carrier. The catalyst shows good hydrodenitrogenation and desulfurization activities.
Chinese patent CN 106669786a discloses a catalytic diesel hydrocracking catalyst and a preparation method thereof, wherein modified molecular sieve, amorphous silica-alumina and/or alumina are mixed first, and then molded to prepare a catalyst carrier. Impregnating or adsorbing unsaturated olefin on a carrier, reacting in an inert atmosphere for carbonization, and roasting to remove part of carbon deposit to obtain the carbon-containing carrier. Impregnating active metal, and drying to obtain the catalyst. The infrared acid strength distribution of the catalyst becomes reasonable, and the catalyst also shows better reaction activity and stability.
The preparation methods can change the surface acidity of the alumina carrier and the interaction with metal by a direct or indirect method, so that the aim of improving the performance of the catalyst can be fulfilled. However, none of the methods used has the effect of directionally changing the acid centers, and only the content of all the acid centers can be changed synchronously. When the raw materials with low aromatic hydrocarbon content are processed, the reasonable matching of the acid center and the hydrogenation center can be realized by improving the acid strength and the content, the catalyst activity is improved, and the more efficient desulfurization and denitrification processes are realized under the condition of lower reaction temperature.
