Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalytic technology for hydrodesulfurization of cracked gasoline, and in particular to a supported transition metal phosphide catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Cracked gasoline, primarily composed of C5-C9 hydrocarbons, is a key byproduct of naphtha cracking to ethylene production. Due to its high aromatic content, it is often used as a feedstock for downstream aromatics extraction. However, because the sulfur compounds in it are toxic to aromatics extraction catalysts, cracked gasoline requires hydrodesulfurization (HDS) treatment. Therefore, research on the HDS catalytic process and related technologies for cracked gasoline is extremely important for improving aromatics extraction efficiency.
[0003] The hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process in cracked gasoline involves the conversion of sulfur-containing compounds (such as thiophene, thiols, and thioethers) into H2S under the action of a catalyst. In recent years, researchers have discovered that transition metal phosphide catalysts exhibit high hydrodesulfurization activity. Under the same test conditions, the Ni2P / SiO2 catalyst shows higher HDS activity for dibenzothiophene than both NiMo / Al2O3 and CoMo / Al2O3, and the activity order for similar phosphides is: Ni2P > WP > MoP > CoP > Fe2P [Journal of Catalysis, 2003, 216, 343-352]. Furthermore, due to the high mechanical strength and thermal stability of transition metal phosphides, they show great promise as a substitute for commercial sulfide catalysts.
[0004] Previous literature reports that the HDS process of transition metal phosphides is a structure-sensitive reaction. Taking the Ni2P / SiO2 catalyst system as an example, Oyama et al. [Journal of Catalysis, 2008, 258, 393-400] found that as the Ni2P grain size decreases, the number of pyramidal coordinated Ni(2) sites increases, while the number of tetrahedral coordinated Ni(1) sites remains unchanged. The surface Ni / P ratio decreases, the activity increases, the selectivity of direct desulfurization (DDS) decreases, and the selectivity of hydrogen desulfurization (HYD) increases. There are few reports and studies on developing synthetic methods for Ni2P active component catalysts with different particle sizes to improve the activity and stability of the HDS reaction.
