Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a low-cost hydrofining catalyst, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in oil product refining and regulation of aromatic ring saturation. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the emphasis on environmental protection by human beings, the production of clean energy is the trend of the times. Environmental protection regulations also make more and more stringent requirements on the quality of transportation fuels such as gasoline and diesel. This makes oil refining enterprises constantly put forward higher requirements on the activity and stability of hydrofining catalysts. Hydrofining technology can effectively remove sulfur, nitrogen and other impurities in oil products, which can not only meet the quality requirements of vehicle fuels, but also meet the processing needs of downstream chemical industry, and is the most commonly used clean oil production technology for current refining enterprises. In the current oil product quality requirements in China, reducing aromatics is the trend of the times. However, at the same time, we also see that the vigorous development of new energy vehicles makes most of the naphtha components unable to enter the original gasoline pool, thereby being converted into chemical raw materials. As chemical raw materials, the aromatics in distillate oil are valuable chemical resources. Therefore, how to effectively preserve the aromatic ring during hydrofining and improve its value as a chemical raw material is the focus of attention for refining enterprises. Therefore, it is required that refining enterprises can regulate the saturation of aromatics in the product while removing sulfur, nitrogen and other impurities according to different market demands. In addition, economic benefit is one of the most important indicators for refining enterprises, therefore, developing more efficient and low-cost catalysts is the most effective means to improve the technical economy of distillate oil hydrofining.

[0003] The hydrogenation catalysts used in the current refining industry are mainly active metals of Mo or W and auxiliary active metals of Co or Ni. Through the combination of them, the hydrogenation active phase is obtained after sulfidation. The carrier used is mainly active alumina. In the traditional cognition, it is generally believed that the active site of hydrodesulfurization is MoS2 or WS2, and Co or Ni mainly plays a role of auxiliary catalyst (DFT Calculations of Unpromoted and Promoted MoS2-Based Hydrodesulfurization Catalysts, Journal of Catalysis, 1999, 187, 109), and is not the main active site, and its ability to break C-S bond alone is weak. In addition, in the prior art, for example, the recently disclosed CN111715232A, CN108620085B, CN111821991A, CN107961796B and CN111939921A, etc., are all active phases of Mo or W as main metals, and the content is generally about 20 wt%. Since the prices of W and Mo are higher than those of Co and Ni, a large part of the cost of the catalyst comes from W and Mo. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a low-cost catalyst with high desulfurization activity.

[0004] In the process of hydrogenation desulfurization of benzothiophene, it is generally believed that there are two reaction paths, one is the hydrogenation desulfurization (HYD) path, that is, the benzene ring is first hydrogenated and saturated, and then the C-S bond is broken to obtain non-aromatic products. The other is direct desulfurization (DDS), that is, the C-S bond is directly broken to generate aromatic products. In the HYD path, not only the aromatic content in the product is reduced, but also the hydrogen consumption is increased, and the cost is increased. However, if it is used as oil, this path will greatly reduce the aromatic content, which meets the demand of vehicle fuel for aromatic content. Therefore, it is also important to change the product distribution in the hydrogenation process by changing the catalyst formula. SUMMARY

[0005] Based on the above facts, the first object of the present application is to provide a hydrogenation catalyst which does not contain W, Mo and other elements, but only contains inexpensive Fe, Co and Ni metals, and has high desulfurization and denitrification activity and high stability, and is particularly suitable for the hydrogenation process of various distillate oils. At the same time, by introducing the front transition metals CeO2, Ta2O5 and Nb2O5, the saturation degree of aromatic ring in the hydrogenation process can be controlled.

[0069] Experiment 1

[0070] This experimental example provides an evaluation of the application of the catalysts of Examples 1-8, Comparative Examples 1-2, and Reference Example 1 in the hydrogenation treatment of dibenzothiophene.

[0071] The catalysts in Examples 1-8, Comparative Examples 1-2, and Reference Example 1 were all ground in a mortar and pestle before evaluation, pressed into tablets, sieved through a 40-60 mesh screen, and then pre-sulfurized to obtain sulfidated catalysts. Pre-sulfurization was carried out in a fixed-bed microreactor using a wet pre-sulfurization method. After pre-sulfurization, the catalyst was not removed but continued to undergo hydrogenation in the reactor. The pre-sulfurization oil was a cyclohexane solution containing 4 wt.% CS2. The pre-sulfurization temperature was 400°C, the sulfurization time was 12 h, the pressure was 3 MPa, and the liquid hourly space velocity was 6 h⁻¹. -1 The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 700.

[0072] After sulfidation, the switching fluid was used to evaluate the hydrodesulfurization reaction of sulfur-containing substrates. The evaluation feedstock was a dibenzothiophene cyclohexane solution with a sulfur content of 1000 ppm. A twin-pump pump was used for injection, and the reaction conditions were: pressure 4.0 MPa, reaction temperature 340℃, hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio 600, and mass hourly space velocity 6 h⁻¹. -1After the reaction stabilized for 8 hours, samples were taken.

[0074] This experimental example is the same as Experiment 1, except that the feedstock was replaced with catalytic diesel oil with an sulfur content of 1921 ppm instead of dibenzothiophene. The catalysts used were NS-1 catalyst and R-1 reference. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0075]

[0076]

[0077] .

[0078] Table 1 shows that the supported hydrogenation catalysts prepared in Examples 1-7 of this invention possess high hydrodesulfurization performance under the same reaction conditions and the same active metal loading. Compared with comparative catalysts D-1 and D-2, the support has a significant impact on the hydrorefining performance of the catalyst; in this technical solution, only a silica support can achieve such excellent results. Examples 1-5 demonstrate that by adjusting the content of the preceding transition metal oxide, the aromatic saturation capacity of the hydrogenation catalyst can be flexibly adjusted, thereby achieving flexible product control. Compared with reference R-1, it can be seen that the catalyst provided by this technical solution can significantly reduce aromatic saturation, yielding more aromatic saturated products. Table 2 shows that, in catalytic diesel hydrorefining, the catalyst provided by this technical solution has higher desulfurization activity and lower aromatic saturation. Therefore, the method of this invention can, while ensuring catalyst reactivity, control the saturation degree of aromatic rings during hydrorefining by introducing a preceding transition metal, reducing hydrogen consumption and dependence on MoW, thus lowering catalyst production costs and demonstrating high economic benefits and long-term industrial application value.
