This invention discloses a hydrodenitrification catalyst, its preparation method, and its application, comprising the following steps: (1) AlPO4-5
phosphorus aluminum
molecular sieve with a
crystal size of less than 2 μm and
alumina are sequentially added to deionized water, and a carrier
raw material slurry is obtained by
ultrasonic emulsification. The carrier
raw material slurry is filtered, dried, and ground to obtain a carrier
raw material powder. The carrier raw material
powder is mixed evenly with a molding aid, and then extruded, dried, and calcined to obtain a
catalyst support; (2)
Metal salts containing
zinc,
nickel, and
tungsten elements are dissolved in deionized water to obtain a
metal impregnation solution. The
catalyst support is impregnated using an equal-volume impregnation method, and then cured, dried, and calcined to obtain a hydrodenitrification catalyst. The preparation method of this invention can improve the utilization efficiency of AlPO4-5
phosphorus aluminum
molecular sieve, inhibit the formation of
nickel-aluminum
spinel inert substances, promote the formation of a highly active hydrogenation phase by the active
metal, improve the utilization efficiency of the active
metal Ni, and thus improve the hydrogenation activity of the catalyst.
