Background
With the deterioration and heaviness of crude oil, the efficient conversion of heavy oil and the improvement of the yield of light oil products become an important trend in the development of oil refining technology. The residue fixed bed hydrogenation technology is an effective means for realizing the high-efficiency conversion of heavy oil. By adopting the technical route, the impurities such as metal, sulfur, nitrogen, carbon residue and the like in the residual oil can be effectively removed, high-quality feed is provided for catalytic cracking, and the strict environmental protection regulation requirements are met while the yield of light oil products is increased. During the processing of heavy oil, the metal compounds therein are decomposed, and the metal impurities are deposited on the inner and outer surfaces of the catalyst to block the pore channels, even cause the catalyst to be poisoned and deactivated, so that the metal impurities contained therein must be removed firstly during the catalytic cracking of heavy oil. The hydrodemetallization catalyst mainly removes metal impurities including nickel and vanadium in raw oil, so as to protect downstream catalysts from losing activity due to deposition of a large amount of metals.
At present, most of the commercial Hydrodemetallization (HDM) catalysts are made of Al2O3Being a support, the pore structure of the support can significantly affect its catalytic activity as well as its stability. The results of previous studies show that: suitable Al2O3The pore size distribution of the carrier can provide a proper diffusion rate of metal compounds, the existence of a certain proportion of super-large pores in the alumina carrier can promote the diffusion and deposition of macromolecular asphaltene molecules, reduce the blockage of coke deposition to orifices, and even under the condition of serious nickel and vanadium deposition, the large pores can also allow the macromolecules to pass through, thereby improving the stability of the catalyst.
CN1160602A discloses a macroporous alumina carrier suitable for use as a hydrodemetallization catalyst carrier and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method of the macroporous alumina carrier comprises the steps of mixing the pseudo-boehmite dry glue powder with water or aqueous solution, kneading into a plastic body, extruding the obtained plastic body into a strip-shaped object on a strip extruding machine, drying and roasting to obtain a product; in the above-mentioned process also the carbon black powder is added as physical pore-expanding agent and chemical pore-expanding agent containing phosphorus, silicon or boron compound which can produce chemical action with pseudo-boehmite or alumina. Wherein the amount of the carbon black powder is 3-10% (based on the weight of the alumina). The prepared alumina carrier can be used for preparing heavy oil, in particular a heavy oil hydrodemetallization and/or hydrodesulfurization catalyst.
US4448896 proposes the use of carbon black as a pore-enlarging agent. Uniformly mixing a pore-expanding agent and pseudo-boehmite dry rubber powder, adding a nitric acid aqueous solution with the mass fraction of 4.3% into the mixture, kneading for 30 minutes, then adding an ammonia aqueous solution with the mass fraction of 2.1%, kneading for 25 minutes, extruding into strips and forming after uniform kneading, and roasting the formed carrier to obtain the final alumina carrier. Wherein the addition amount of the carbon black powder is preferably more than 20% of the weight of the activated alumina or the precursor thereof.
CN102441436A discloses a preparation method of an alumina carrier. The method for preparing the alumina carrier comprises the following steps: the pseudo-boehmite dry glue powder and the extrusion aid are mixed uniformly, then the aqueous solution in which the physical pore-enlarging agent and the chemical pore-enlarging agent are dissolved is added, the mixture is mixed uniformly, the mixture is extruded on a strip extruder to be formed, and the alumina carrier is prepared after drying and roasting.
The physical pore-expanding agent can increase the proportion of macropores, but in the case of industrial catalysts, certain specific surface area and mechanical strength are required in order to improve the activity of the catalyst. However, the specific surface area and the mechanical strength are reduced while the macropores are increased, so that the physical pore-expanding agent is limited by other performance requirements of the catalyst when being used for pore expansion, and the physical pore-expanding agent cannot be taken into consideration.
CN103785396A and CN102861617A disclose a preparation method of a dual pore structure alumina carrier for heavy oil hydrodemetallization catalyst. The method comprises the following steps: weighing a certain amount of pseudo-boehmite dry glue powder, uniformly mixing the pseudo-boehmite dry glue powder with a proper amount of peptizer and extrusion aid, then adding a proper amount of ammonium bicarbonate aqueous solution into the materials, kneading the obtained materials into a plastic body, extruding the plastic body into strips for forming, placing the formed materials into a sealed container, carrying out hydrothermal treatment, and roasting to obtain the alumina carrier. The heavy oil hydrodemetallization catalyst is prepared by taking the alumina as a carrier and loading active metal components Mo and Ni by an impregnation method. Although the catalyst prepared by the technology has double-pore distribution, the pore diameter of a large-pore part is larger, so that the time for reaction molecules to stay in a pore channel is shorter, the utilization rate of a carrier is reduced, and the stability needs to be further improved.
