Hydrodemetallization catalyst and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to a hydrodemetallization catalyst and a preparation method thereof.
Background
At present, the world economy rapidly develops, the demand for fuel oil products is more and more increased, and the quality requirement for the oil products is more and more strict. The shortage of crude oil resources in the world is urgent, but the storage amount of coal is very abundant, so that the use of coal for producing fuel oil products for vehicles is a way, and the main technologies for producing the fuel oil from the coal comprise direct liquefaction of the coal, indirect liquefaction of the coal and the like. The traditional processing method of coal tar aims at physical separation and extraction of single-component or narrow-fraction products, and most medium-temperature coal tar is used as fuel except for extracting small amount of chemical products such as crude phenol. The traditional processing method has neither economical efficiency nor cleanliness, most coal tar can only be simply used as fuel directly, and serious environmental pollution is caused by high sulfur and nitrogen content and incomplete combustion, so that the market value is extremely low. The coal tar can be processed into high-quality products by adopting hydrotreatment, but the impurity content in the coal tar is high, and the catalyst has higher performance requirements. The coal tar hydrotreatment generally requires the cooperation of a hydrogenation protecting agent, a hydrodemetallization catalyst, a hydrofining catalyst and a hydrocracking catalyst to achieve comprehensive processing effects.
For the hydrodemetallization catalyst of coal tar, because the coal tar contains more Na, ca, fe, ni and other metal impurities, the hydrodemetallization catalyst is required to have larger pore volume and larger pore diameter. At present, the types of special coal tar hydrodemetallization catalysts are few, and hydrodemetallization catalysts used in the residuum hydrotreatment process are mainly adopted. Hydrodemetallization catalysts are required to have larger pore volume and larger pore diameter, slow down the deactivation of the catalyst and prolong the operation period of the catalyst.
CN102847541a discloses a coal tar hydrodemetallization catalyst and a preparation method thereof, and the preparation process of the catalyst comprises the following steps: (1) taking or preparing an alumina carrier; (2) Treating the alumina carrier in the step (1) by using an organic acid solution with the pH value lower than 3, then impregnating the alumina carrier subjected to acid treatment by using an aluminum nitrate solution, and drying and roasting to obtain a modified alumina carrier; (3) Loading hydrogenation active components by an impregnation method to obtain the coal tar hydrodemetallization catalyst. The method improves the macroporous content and the pore channel penetrability of the final catalyst by the action of the organic acid and the alumina carrier.
CN108722454a discloses a coal tar hydrodemetallization catalyst and a preparation method thereof, wherein the catalyst comprises an alumina carrier and hydrogenation active components. The pore-enlarging agent and the sintering agent are added during the carrier molding, the freeze drying method is adopted in the drying process, and the alumina carrier has large pore volume, concentrated pore distribution, high mechanical strength and proper surface acidity through the dual actions of the pore-enlarging agent and the sintering agent.
The research shows that the pore channel structure of the coal tar hydrodemetallization catalyst can be improved and the macropore content can be improved by the existing means. However, the prior art only pays attention to how to increase the macroporous content of the catalyst, and the matching research of active metal components in the catalyst and pore channels of a carrier is relatively less.
