Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
the paraffin hydrorefining catalyst has high surface active metal dispersion degree, high utilization rate and good activity.
The layered clay is smectite clay with a swelling single-layer mineral structure and/or regular interlayer mineral structure clay, the clay can provide more specific surface area for the catalyst carrier, and the larger specific surface area is beneficial to forming more active metal sites in the subsequent active metal impregnation process of the carboxyl-containing polymer, so that the paraffin component is contacted and reacted with more active metal centers.
The Y-type molecular sieve is added into the catalyst, has the function of peptizing acid, can adjust the acid property of the carrier, and is matched with the property of high dispersion degree of the active metal of the catalyst, so that the catalyst has better aromatic hydrocarbon hydrogenation saturation capacity.
The organic solution containing span surfactant is sprayed and soaked on the carrier, so that the polarity and free energy of the surface of the carrier can be reduced, the capillary pressure in the soaking process is weakened, the active metal entering small pores is reduced, the utilization rate of the active metal is improved, and the uniform distribution of the active metal solution of the soaked carboxyl-containing polymer is facilitated.
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.
