Technical Field

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 in the heavy oil are decomposed, and metal impurities are deposited on the inner surface and the outer surface of the catalyst to block the pore channels, so that the catalyst is even poisoned and deactivated.
In the using process of the catalyst, the catalyst becomes waste due to the loss of the original activity, and the waste catalyst rich in metal is not used, so that resources are wasted and the environment is polluted. Recently, environmental regulations have become more stringent for the disposal of spent catalysts. The waste catalyst is treated by several methods, such as landfill treatment, metal recovery, regeneration or recycling, and is used as a raw material to generate other useful products to solve the problem of the waste catalyst.
