Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a catalyst for hydrorefining distillate oil, its preparation method and application, which is applicable to the hydrorefining of inferior gasoline and diesel fractions into clean oil products in the petroleum refining field. Background Technology

[0002] In the petroleum refining industry, the development of catalytic cracking and delayed coking technologies has led to an increase in the proportion of secondary processed distillate fuels, such as catalytic and coking gasoline and diesel, in the total gasoline and diesel volume. However, catalytic and coking gasoline and diesel have high levels of impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen, and in particular, they have high aromatic content, poor stability, and low cetane numbers. As refining technology moves towards deeper processing, the quality of catalytic and coking gasoline and diesel will continue to decline. Furthermore, new clean fuel standards and environmental regulations place increasingly stringent requirements on distillate fuel quality. Therefore, how to further improve the quality of secondary processed distillate fuels, especially secondary processed diesel, is an important issue of concern.

[0003] Due to the scarcity of petroleum resources, catalytic diesel in my country is mainly used for blending after hydrorefining to produce automotive diesel. Currently, my country's catalytic cracking units have an annual processing capacity exceeding 100 million tons. In the composition of gasoline and diesel products, catalytic cracked gasoline accounts for approximately 80%, and catalytic diesel accounts for approximately 30%. In recent years, with the increasing quality of crude oil processed domestically, the feedstock for catalytic cracking has also become increasingly heavier and of lower quality. Furthermore, many enterprises have modified or increased the operational stringency of catalytic cracking units to improve gasoline quality or increase propylene production, leading to a further deterioration in the quality of catalytic cracking products, especially catalytic diesel. This is mainly reflected in the high density and low cetane number of catalytic cracked diesel, making it difficult to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations using conventional hydrorefining technology. Catalytic diesel has become a constraint on product quality upgrades and profit growth for enterprises.

[0004] Because catalytic diesel has a high aromatic content, it has a high density and low cetane number, making it the worst-performing diesel blending component and the most difficult to process in quality upgrades. Typically, the aromatic content ranges from 64.5% to 78.3%, with bicyclic and tricyclic aromatics accounting for over 60%, and cyclic aromatics making up over 50% of the total. For diesel fractions, a high aromatic content is detrimental. To achieve deep desulfurization, denitrification, and dearomatization of inferior diesel fractions and produce clean diesel, various unique processes and catalysts have been developed both domestically and internationally. For example, USP5114562 describes a two-stage hydrotreating technology: in the first stage, a non-precious metal catalyst is used to remove most of the sulfur, while in the second stage, a platinum catalyst with strong hydrosaturation capacity is used for deep hydrotreating to improve the oil's properties. However, this hydrotreating process is relatively complex, requires partial modification of existing equipment, and uses a precious metal catalyst, resulting in relatively high processing costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The following provides a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention. These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention and provide detailed implementation methods and processes. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. Experimental methods in the following embodiments that do not specify specific conditions are generally performed under conventional conditions.

[0021] This invention provides a hydrorefining catalyst for distillate oils, suitable for hydrorefining petroleum distillate oils at temperatures ranging from 150°C to 400°C. It is applicable to the hydrorefining of low-quality gasoline and diesel fractions (such as catalytic gasoline and diesel, coking gasoline and diesel) in the petroleum refining industry, and is particularly suitable for the hydrorefining of catalytic cracking light cycle oils with high sulfur, nitrogen, and aromatic content and low cetane numbers. The catalyst of this invention can reduce the content of sulfur, nitrogen, and aromatics under relatively mild hydrorefining conditions, and significantly increase the cetane number of the product. The distillate oil hydrorefining catalyst of this invention comprises a catalyst support and an active component. The catalyst support comprises phosphorus-modified SBA-15 molecular sieves and / or titanium-modified SBA-15 molecular sieves, and the active component comprises Group VIB metal oxides and / or Group VIII metal oxides.

[0022] Titanium-modified SBA-15 molecular sieves involve the reaction of titanium metal chlorides or organometallic compounds with the silanol bonds (Si-OH) on the SBA-15 surface to form Ti-O covalent bonds. This fixes metallic Ti onto the SBA-15 framework, introducing a large number of metal ions or other active centers into the pores, resulting in better dispersibility and catalytic activity of active metal species such as Ni, W, Co, and Mo in the catalyst. The titanium loading in the titanium-modified SBA-15 molecular sieve is 2%–10 wt%, with a preferred loading of 4%–8 wt%.

[0023] SBA-15 molecular sieves were modified with phosphoric acid or phosphotungstic acid. The phosphorus-modified SBA-15 molecular sieves exhibited certain acid strength, and the BET specific surface area of ​​the unmodified SBA-15 molecular sieves reached 649 m². 2 / g, pore volume 1.05cm³ 3 / g, average pore size 6.5nm, phosphorus-modified BET specific surface area can reach 900m² 2 / g, pore volume 1.15cm³ 3 With an average pore size of 8.1 nm, the catalyst prepared using phosphorus-modified SBA-15 molecular sieve exhibits better hydrodesulfurization performance for macromolecular sulfides such as dibenzothiophene and dimethyldibenzothiophene.

[0024] The catalyst of this invention uses titanium-modified SBA-15 molecular sieve and / or phosphorus-modified SBA-15 molecular sieve as a support. By adding modified SBA-15 molecular sieve, the synergistic effect of the two molecular sieves can be further utilized to improve the hydrorefining performance of the catalyst, enabling it to process inferior gasoline and diesel under milder process conditions, and achieve deep desulfurization, denitrification, olefin and aromatic hydrocarbon reduction.

[0044] In one embodiment, the preparation steps of the distillate oil hydrorefining catalyst of the present invention specifically include:

[0045] (1) Phosphorus-modified SBA-15 molecular sieve, titanium-modified SBA-15 molecular sieve, and alumina are mixed evenly in a certain proportion.

[0046] (2) Add adhesive to step (1) or directly add adhesive solvent solution and knead into a paste, then extrude into strips;

[0085] Example 9

[0086] This embodiment describes the microreactor evaluation results of the above catalyst.

[0087] The catalyst used for microreactor evaluation was 1.5 g. A decane solution containing dibenzothiophene (1000 μg / g sulfur) and a decane solution containing indole (500 μg / g nitrogen) were used as evaluation raw materials to conduct comparative tests on hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrification performance. The reaction conditions are shown in Table 2, and the results of the catalyst's microreactor hydrogenation evaluation are shown in Table 3.

[0091]

[0092]

[0093] As shown in Table 3, the hydrodesulfurization and hydronitrogenation activities of catalysts CAT-1 to CAT-7 with added molecular sieves were significantly improved compared to catalyst CAT-8 without added molecular sieves. Furthermore, the simultaneous addition of phosphorus-modified and titanium-modified SBA-15 molecular sieves further enhanced the hydrodesulfurization and hydronitrogenation performance of catalysts CAT-1, CAT-6, and CAT-7 compared to catalysts CAT-3 (with phosphorus-modified SBA-15 molecular sieve alone) and CAT-4 (with titanium-modified SBA-15 molecular sieve alone). The introduction of the fluorine additive slightly reduced the hydrodesulfurization and hydronitrogenation performance of catalyst CAT-2. Catalysts CAT-1, CAT-6, and CAT-7 using tungsten and nickel as active metals exhibited higher hydrodesulfurization and hydronitrogenation performance than catalyst CAT-5 (using molybdenum and nickel as active metals). Additionally, the hydrorefining catalysts incorporating modified SBA-15 molecular sieves showed superior hydrodesulfurization performance compared to the industrial hydrorefining catalyst CAT-A prepared using conventional processes.
