Hydroprocessing catalysts and their production

a technology of hydroprocessing catalysts and catalysts, which is applied in the direction of physical/chemical process catalysts, organic compounds/hydrides/coordination complex catalysts, fatty-oils/fats refining, etc., can solve the problems of reducing the density relative to the mixed metal oxide and limiting the relative amount of inorganic constituents present in the phase, so as to reduce the density and limit the relative amount of inorganic constituents

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The process leads to increased catalyst activity and selectivity, with a higher density of active sites and improved resistance to poisoning, enabling more efficient processing of feeds with high sulfur and nitrogen content at various pressures.

Problems solved by technology

Without being bound by theory, when an oxide-organic hybrid phase is formed, the organic can take up “space” in the lattice of the hybrid phases, in some cases drastically reducing the density relative to the mixed metal oxide and / or further limiting the relative amount of inorganic constituents present in the phase.

examples

[0076]In the Examples, X-ray diffraction spectra were collected on a Rigaku Dmax diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation. Thermogravimetry, Dynamic Thermal Analysis, and Mass Spectrometry (TG / DTA / MS) data were collected on a Mettler TGA 851 thermal balance, interfaced with a Balzers Thermostar quadrupole mass spectrometer, which was equipped with a secondary electron multiplier. Weight loss during air oxidation at about 800° C. was monitored both before and after the thermal treatment of the organically treated catalyst precursor to estimate the amount of organic components present in the sample. Also, the sulfided phases can be oxidized to form oxides (a weight loss event), thus allowing estimation of additional weight loss due to retention of the organic component in the sulfide phase.

[0077]For TEM measurements, samples of the sulfided compositions were crushed into pieces (less than about 100 nm thick), dusted onto holey-carbon coated grids, and examined in a bright field imaging mod...

Comparative Example 1: Preparation of NiWO4 and NiMo0.5W0.5O4 (No Organics)

[0079]A metastable hexagonal variant of NiWO4 is formed by a solid-slurry reaction between nickel carbonate and tungstic acid. About 5.93 grams nickel carbonate and about 12.49 grams tungstic acid were added to about 150 mL of water to form a suspension, which was added to a ˜275 mL Weflon™ reaction vessel. The vessel was then heated (in a microwave oven) to about 150° C. for about 6 hours, cooled to about room temperature (about 20-25° C.), and filtered and dried at about 100° C. After drying, the material was heated in a box furnace in air at a ramp rate of about 2° C. / min up to a final temperature of about 300° C. and was held at that temperature for about 4 hours (e.g., to calcine). A portion of this material was labeled as catalyst A. FIG. 1 shows the x-ray diffraction spectrum of this sample, which crystallized in the hexagonal nickel tungstate phase. The Ni1Mo0.5W0.5O4 catalyst, catalyst B, was prepare...

f Catalysts of Example 1

[0101]The HDN activity of sulfided samples of catalysts 1a, 1a / / N2, 1b, and 1b / / N2, all of which were described in Example 1, were compared against the HDN activity of a sulfided reference sample made from catalyst B. The activities were normalized on a weight basis, relative to the reference, and are shown in Table 5. Because of the relatively low density of these bimetallic oxide-amine hybrid phases, the activities on a relative volume basis were less than that of the reference catalyst.

TABLE 5SampleCompositionRWA1aNiWO4(1,2DACH)2~1.071a / / N2NiWO4(1,2DACH)2 / / N2~1.281bNiWO4(1,2DACH)2 / / citric0.33~0.601b / / N2NiWO4(1,2DACH)2 / / citric0.33 / / N2~1.18

[0102]Table 5 shows that the high temperature inert treatment of the bimetallic oxide-amine precursors, whether citric acid was impregnated or not, improved their activity. The low density, and consequent lower volumetric activity, of these Example 1 precursors tends to make them less preferred than the catalysts of Exampl...

Abstract

The precursor of a hydroprocessing catalyst is made by impregnating a metal oxide component comprising at least one metal from Group 6 of the Periodic Table and at least one metal from Groups 8-10 of the Periodic Table with an amide formed from a first organic compound containing at least one amine group, and a second organic compound containing at least one carboxylic acid group. Following impregnation heat treatment follows to form in situ generated unsaturation additional to that in the two organic compounds. The catalyst precursor is sulfided to form an active, sulfide hydroprocessing catalyst.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 13 / 150,662, filed 1 Jun. 2011, claiming the benefit of Provisional U.S. Application No. 61 / 350,234, filed Jun. 1, 2010; the contents of Ser. No. 13 / 150,662 and. Application No. 61 / 350,234 are incorporated in this application by reference. This application claims the benefit under 35 USC 120 of application Ser. No. 13 / 150,662.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to hydroprocessing catalysts and their production.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]As refineries are being forced to process crudes with larger amounts of sulfur and nitrogen, while at the same time environmental regulations are mandating lower levels of these heteroatoms in products, a need exists to synthesize catalysts that can do more efficient desulfurization and denitrogenation, particularly where existing units are limited in their pressure capability. In addition, more refractory feeds are ...
