Background
In recent years, around the topics of energy conservation, environmental protection, low carbon emission, economic benefit improvement, sustainable development realization and the like, the global improvement is achieved in key technical fields such as coal-to-liquid technology, heavy oil (residual oil) deep processing, clean fuel production, oiling combination, production of alternative fuels and lubricating oil base oil and the like. Hydrocracking technology plays an important role therein.
In modern oil refining technology, hydrocracking refers to the hydrogenation process that more than 10% of macromolecular compounds in raw materials are changed into micromolecular compounds through hydrogenation reaction, and has the characteristics of strong raw material adaptability, large flexibility of production scheme, good product quality and the like, so that the hydrocracking becomes one of important process technologies for deep processing of heavy oil. The heart of the hydrocracking technology is a catalyst, including a pretreatment catalyst and a cracking catalyst. Wherein the hydrocracking pretreatment catalyst has the main functions of: the hydrogenation removes sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, heavy metal and other impurities contained in the raw materials, and the hydrogenation saturates the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, thereby improving the property of the oil product. Because nitrides, especially basic nitrides, in the feed oil can poison the acid centers of cracking catalysts, hydrodenitrogenation performance is an important indicator for measuring hydrocracking pretreatment catalysts.
