Startup method of vulcanized hydrogenation catalyst
Technical Field
The invention relates to a startup method of a catalyst, in particular to a startup method of a hydrogenation catalyst.
Background
In recent years, the crude oil deterioration tendency is increasingly obvious, the requirement of each country for clean fuel is increasingly increased, the hydrogenation process is taken as one of the most effective means for producing the clean fuel, and the high-efficiency hydrogenation catalyst becomes the technical key of the hydrogenation process. The active metal of the conventional hydrogenation catalyst is in an oxidation state, and the material which really plays an active role in actual use is in a vulcanization state, so the material needs to be vulcanized in a reactor before use.
The conventional hydrogenation catalyst is in an oxidation state, and substances which really play an active role in actual use are in a vulcanization state, so the conventional hydrogenation catalyst needs to be vulcanized in a reactor before being used. A typical in-situ presulfurization method is described in patent CN1171430A, wherein a vulcanizing agent is selected from carbon disulfide or dimethyl disulfide, the volume ratio of vulcanizing agent gas to a catalyst is generally 300-600, the vulcanization is carried out under normal pressure or high pressure, the general temperature raising and constant temperature procedure is to vulcanize for 2-6 hours at 200-240 ℃, and then vulcanize for 8-12 hours at 320-360 ℃. Because the in-situ prevulcanization is carried out in a refinery and special equipment is needed, the production cost is increased, and the vulcanization easily causes pollution to people and environment, so that scientific researchers at home and abroad actively seek a solution, and the ex-situ prevulcanization is carried forward.
By ex-situ presulfiding is meant that the catalyst is combined with a sulfiding agent prior to charging into the reactor and then charging into the reactor. During the start-up, H needs to be introduced2As the temperature increases, the sulfidizing agent decomposes to form hydrogen sulfide, thereby converting the hydrogenation-active metal to sulfide. CN1362493A discloses a vulcanization method of heavy oil hydrotreating catalyst, which is characterized in that solid sulfide is mixed with the catalyst, and a means of combining low-temperature dry vulcanization and high-temperature wet vulcanization is adopted, so as to prepare the vulcanization type catalyst. Compared with in-situ vulcanization, the ex-situ prevulcanization technology has the advantages of short start-up time, simple start-up steps, less investment on refinery equipment, less harm to human, less environmental pollution and the like. CN200910204284.5 discloses a method for starting a residual oil hydrogenation process, which comprises pre-sulfurizing a selected catalyst outside a reactor according to the requirements of the residual oil hydrogenation process, loading the catalyst into the reactor, heating, activating, and switching the residual oil raw material for hydrogenation treatment. The method only carries out ex-situ presulfurization treatment on part of the catalyst required by the residual oil hydrogenation process, saves the production cost and reduces the catalyst loss while maintaining the advantages of the ex-situ presulfurization process. The prevulcanization raw materials of the two patents are solid sulfur, the decomposition temperature is about 100 ℃ under hydrogen, and due to the limitation of reactor materials of a hydrogenation device, production safety and other aspects, the high-pressure air tightness of the device needs to be carried out at the lowest temperature of the whole device to reach 92 ℃, so that the inlet temperature of the reactor reaches at least above 150 ℃, and the vulcanization reaction starts before the high-temperature air tightness of the device. Hydrogen sulfide enters the circulating hydrogen before airtight sealing, and once the airtight sealing is unqualified and the air is emptied, the vulcanizing agent is insufficient, so that the vulcanizing effect of the catalyst is influenced. Therefore, the air tightness problem of the device becomes a difficult problem to be solved urgently in the application and popularization of the external prevulcanization technology at present.
