Paraffin hydrofining catalyst and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a catalyst, in particular to a paraffin hydrofining catalyst and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The paraffin takes normal paraffin as a main component, is solid at normal temperature, has a large average molecular weight of generally 300-500 and has carbon number of C20-C30. Hydrogenation of paraffinsThe refining process includes mixing material wax with hydrogen in certain proportion at certain temperature, reaction of hydrogen with S, N, O and other hetero atoms in the material wax to produce H2S、NH3、H2O, etc. to remove impurities. As for the paraffin wax hydrorefining catalyst, molybdenum is generally used as a main metal component, and tungsten is also used as a main metal component. In addition to the primary metal component, the hydrotreating catalyst employs a secondary metal component such as nickel or cobalt.
The raw material cost of the active metals in paraffin hydrofinishing catalysts is a large proportion of the cost of the catalyst, particularly in recent years the price of molybdenum (also including tungsten) has continued to rise. Molybdenum has been MoNi/Al2O3The price of the paraffin wax hydrofining catalyst forms the most main part. Therefore, how to increase the utilization rate of the active metal and reduce the cost of the paraffin hydrofining catalyst is one of the important issues in the field.
US 4186078A is prepared by adding a large amount of silicon to a carrier (containing SiO)25 to 25 wt%) to prepare SiO2- Al2O3Carrier to ensure that the carrier has larger specific surface, larger pore diameter and more concentrated pore distribution. However, the catalyst prepared by this method has a low active metal utilization rate because the amount of the active metal dispersed on the carrier is not sufficiently high.
CN 1249329A discloses a petroleum wax hydrofining catalyst and a preparation method thereof, and the method uses a mixed solution containing molybdenum, nickel and phosphorus to dip gamma-Al2O3Then drying and roasting, wherein the gamma-Al2O3The preparation of the carrier is that α -AlO (OH) of acid sol is kneaded, extruded to form, dried and roasted to prepare the carrier, the concentration of the mixed solution of molybdenum, nickel and phosphorus used in the preparation of the method is high, especially the mass concentration of molybdenum, in addition, the method can not reduce the distribution of active metal in catalyst pores and can not improve the dispersion degree of the active metal nickel, thereby the utilization rate of the active metal is low.

Wherein the mass concentration of the phosphorus-containing solution is 0.01-15.00%, preferably 0.01-5.00%.

The active metal dispersion degree is obtained by analyzing the active metal components on the surface of the catalyst by an X photoelectron spectrometer, in particular to an American MultilAB2000 photoelectron spectrometer. The larger the value of the dispersion, the more uniform the dispersion of the active metal.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
the method of the invention uses phosphoric acid-containing solution to pre-impregnate the carrier, so that the generated aluminum phosphate blocks partial small holes, the content of active metal entering the small holes is reduced, the method is beneficial to generating synergistic effect with the carboxyl-containing polymer which is subsequently impregnated, and the metal dispersity is improved.
Due to the action of carboxylate anions on a macromolecular chain, strong electrostatic force exists near the macromolecular chain, so that the electrostatic attraction between the carboxylate and cations on the macromolecular chain is far larger than that between the corresponding monomer carboxylate and the same cations, and the constraint action of the carboxylate on the cations is increased along with the increase of the dissociation degree of the polymer, the increase of the cation valence and the decrease of the ion radius. Thus, the carboxyl group-containing polymer binds divalent metal ions more strongly than monovalent metal ions. After the carboxyl-containing polymer is added into the active metal impregnation liquid, the dissociated macromolecular anions are combined with divalent nickel ions to play a role in fixing the nickel ions, and meanwhile, the macromolecular ions combined with the nickel ions still have negative charges and are mutually and electrostatically repelled with phosphomolybdic acid radicals in the impregnation liquid to play a role in dispersing the active metal molybdenum.
