Description

[0001] Technology

[0002] The present invention relates to a hydrodemetallization catalyst and a preparation method thereof, and in particular to a hydrodemetallization catalyst suitable for heavy oil, especially residual oil hydrotreating process and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0003] With the increasing scarcity of crude oil resources and the increasing heaviness of crude oil, heavy oil hydroprocessing technology is gaining increasing attention. Heavy oil contains a large number of metals, such as nickel, vanadium, iron, calcium, and sodium. In particular, nickel and vanadium are primarily present as porphyrin and non-porphyrin compounds in the colloids and asphaltenes of heavy oil. The presence of metals can easily increase bed pressure drop and catalyst deactivation, adversely affecting subsequent heavy oil processing. Therefore, heavy oil hydrodemetallization catalysts are crucial in medium and heavy oil hydroprocessing technology.

[0004] During the residue hydrotreating process, nickel and vanadium can only be removed when large colloidal and asphaltene molecules enter the catalyst and disrupt its structure. The controlling step in the heavy oil hydrodemetallization reaction is the diffusion of reactants and products within the catalyst. The pore size and volume of the catalyst determine the diffusion path and accommodation space for the reactants. Increasing the pore volume and pore size of the catalyst is the best way to improve the metal-holding capacity of the demetallization catalyst.

[0005] CN106622265A discloses a method for preparing a residue oil hydrodemetallization catalyst. The method comprises the following steps: weighing a certain amount of pseudo-boehmite dry rubber powder, carbon black powder impregnated with an ammonium salt aqueous solution, and an extrusion aid, mixing the mixture, then adding an aqueous solution containing a peptizing agent and a chemical pore-enlarging agent, uniformly mixing the resulting materials, and extruding the extruded materials into strips. The extruded materials are dried and calcined to obtain an alumina carrier. The alumina carrier is used as the carrier and loaded with active metal components Mo and Ni by an impregnation method to obtain a residue oil hydrodemetallization catalyst.

[0006] CN106622265A discloses a hydrodemetallization catalyst, a preparation method, and an application thereof. The catalyst contains an active metal component and a modified hydrogenation catalyst support. The modified hydrogenation catalyst support is prepared by the following method: the method comprises: repeatedly impregnating and drying the hydrothermally treated support in sequence, and calcining the dried product obtained in the last step.

[0007] CN111097432A discloses a hydrodemetallization catalyst and its preparation method. The hydrodemetallization catalyst comprises a modified alumina support SII containing the first active metal component and a second active metal component. The modified alumina support SII comprises a main body and a rod-shaped portion. The main body has micron-sized pores, and at least part of the rod-shaped portion is distributed on the outer surface of the main body and in the micron-sized pores having a pore diameter D of 3 to 10 μm. The active metal content of the rod-shaped portion in the micron-sized pores is higher than the active metal content in the bulk phase of the hydrodemetallization catalyst.

[0008] CN109833890A discloses a residue oil hydrogenation catalyst and its preparation. The method comprises the following steps: spraying a residue oil hydrogenation demetallization catalyst carrier with an organic solvent containing a spam surfactant, followed by drying; impregnating the dried carrier with an active metal solution containing polyacrylate groups, followed by drying and calcining to produce the catalyst. While the metal dispersion of the residue oil hydrogenation catalyst prepared by this method is improved, the catalyst still contains a large amount of active metal components on its outer surface, resulting in metal deposition and surface coking, and a short catalyst lifespan.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0046] 1. The residue oil hydrodemetallization catalyst of the present invention comprises a catalyst body, a sub-outer layer and a macroporous alumina layer. The macroporous alumina layer has large pores, can accommodate a large amount of carbon deposits, and is free of active metals, thereby preventing a violent hydrogenation reaction from occurring on the outer surface. The sub-outer layer has a lower active metal content than the catalyst body, resulting in a more moderate hydrogenation reaction. The sub-outer layer also has larger pores, which can accommodate a large amount of metal sulfides and carbon deposits without causing pore blockage. When used in a residue oil hydrogenation reaction, the catalyst can significantly improve its carbon deposition resistance and metal accommodating capacity, thereby facilitating the long-term operation of a residue oil hydrogenation unit.

[0047] 2. In the preparation process of the residual oil hydrodemetallization catalyst of the present invention, the catalyst body is first prepared, and then the macroporous pseudo-boehmite slurry is mixed with the active metal impregnation liquid R1 in a certain proportion to obtain the active metal impregnation liquid R2, and the catalyst body is wrapped with R2 so that the surface of the catalyst body is wrapped with an active metal layer with less active metal content than the catalyst body, and finally coated with a macroporous alumina layer. The sub-outer layer of the catalyst prepared by the method of the present invention can accommodate larger carbon deposits and metal deposits. It is a catalyst that integrates the functions of a protective agent and a demetallization catalyst in one. The macroporous alumina layer on the surface has no active metal, which avoids the occurrence of violent hydrogenation reactions and can accommodate larger carbon deposits and metal deposits. In summary, the method of the present invention significantly improves the carbon deposition resistance and metal tolerance of the residual oil hydrodemetallization catalyst finally prepared through the comprehensive coordination of various steps, and at the same time significantly extends the operating cycle of the hydrogenation unit.
