Regeneration method of deactivated catalyst
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of catalyst regeneration, and particularly relates to a regeneration method of an inactivated catalyst.
Background
With the development of industry, the advancement of technology and the perfection of environmental regulations, the demand of human beings for petroleum and petrochemical products is increasing, and the use of catalysts for producing various products is also increasing. During the hydrogenation reaction, the activity of the catalyst gradually decreases with the increase of the running time and eventually becomes inactive. A large amount of spent hydrogenation catalyst is produced worldwide each year that cannot be regenerated. Refineries typically choose to discard or use these spent catalysts as fillers in the construction industry, etc., and this treatment has the following disadvantages: 1. because the hydrogenation catalyst generally contains a certain amount of molybdenum, tungsten, cobalt, nickel and other valuable metal oxides, such as discarding treatment can cause resource waste; 2. the discarded catalyst will pollute the environment, especially the water resource, due to the loss of the metals. Thus, many countries now prohibit the random disposal or other use of spent catalysts, and how to dispose of such spent catalysts has been a matter of great concern to researchers.
CN1258754a discloses a method for recovering metals from Co-Mo-based spent catalysts. The method comprises the steps of roasting, crushing, ammonolysis and filtering the waste catalyst, replacing cobalt in the complex with zinc, and then adding nitric acid to recycle MoO 3 The filter residue was dissolved with sulfuric acid and ammonium alum was separated with ammonium sulfate to remove most of the aluminum.
CN101435027a discloses a method for recovering high purity molybdenum from a molybdenum-containing spent catalyst. The method comprises the steps of pretreating the molybdenum-containing waste catalyst, leaching molybdenum into the solution, purifying and recovering molybdenum from the solution, wherein the pretreatment of the molybdenum-containing waste catalyst is to fully mix the crushed waste catalyst with alkaline substances and magnesium oxide in a proper proportion, and then roasting the mixture at a high temperature.
In the above method, when the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst is treated, valuable metals in the catalyst can be recovered, but the alumina carrier material in the catalyst is not effectively utilized.
CN111097440a discloses a method for regenerating an inactivated residuum hydrotreating catalyst, which comprises: and (3) carrying out charcoal burning and sulfur removal pretreatment on the deactivated residual oil hydrotreating catalyst, then carrying out unsaturated impregnation or saturated impregnation by using an acidic solution containing a complexing agent, carrying out heat treatment under an ammonia-containing atmosphere after carrying out impregnation treatment by using an alkaline solution, and obtaining the regenerated hydrotreating catalyst after drying and roasting. The method can utilize deposited metal impurities to make the deposited metal impurities serve as active metals in the regenerated catalyst and improve the pore structure of the catalyst, but the regeneration process is complex, the cost is high, and the method is not beneficial to industrial production.
