Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a catalyst for reducing the cloud point of lubricating oil base oil, its preparation method and application, and more specifically, to a hydroisomerization catalyst for reducing the cloud point of lubricating oil base oil, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] As a widely used chemical product, lubricating oil has long been a focus of research, with low-temperature fluidity being a crucial indicator of its quality. Typically, converting long-chain n-alkanes with poor low-temperature fluidity into branched isoalkanes can effectively improve viscosity index and yield, and lower the pour point of the lubricating oil base. Therefore, improving the isomerization process of n-alkanes has received increasing attention, and modifying hydroisomerization catalysts has remained a research hotspot.

[0003] Patent CN1352231A discloses a method for preparing a dewaxing catalyst. It uses ZSM-5 molecular sieve with a silica-to-alumina ratio of 40-70. The sieve is extruded with binders and additives to form a support, which is then calcined at high temperature to further reduce the acid content. Subsequently, an active metal is introduced to obtain a highly selective cracking catalytic dewaxing agent. However, analysis of the results shows that this agent has only a moderate dewaxing effect on lubricating oil base oils.

[0004] To improve catalyst performance, researchers have combined multiple molecular sieves to prepare catalysts, achieving complementary advantages.

[0005] CN1762594A discloses an alkane hydroisomerization catalyst. The catalyst is prepared by combining various ten-membered ring one-dimensional porous molecular sieves such as ZSM-22, ZSM-23, SAPO-11, and EU-1. Due to the low content of weak and medium-strong acids in the molecular sieves, long-chain alkanes are broken down, resulting in a low base oil yield at a reaction temperature of 325℃.

[0006] CN108816279A discloses an isomerization dewaxing catalyst. It uses a series of ten-membered ring molecular sieves, including ZSM-22, ZSM-23, SAPO-11, EU-1, ZSM-48, and NU-10, as supports, and loads noble metals to prepare a n-alkane isomerization dewaxing catalyst. However, due to the low content of weak and moderately strong acids in the molecular sieves, the selectivity and yield of this catalyst for base oil remain low at 318℃. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a high-performance catalyst for producing low-cloud-point lubricating oil base oils, its preparation method, and its application.

[0016] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a catalyst for reducing the cloud point of lubricating oil base oil, the method comprising the following steps:

[0017] (1) Prepare hydrogen-form ZSM-22 / ZSM-23 eutectic molecular sieve, wherein the total acid content of the hydrogen-form ZSM-22 / ZSM-23 is 0.13~0.45 mmol / g, and the acid content corresponding to the desorption temperature of NH3-TPD below 350 ℃ accounts for 55~85% of the total acid content; preferably, the total acid content is 0.15~0.43 mmol / g, and the acid content corresponding to the desorption temperature of NH3-TPD below 350 ℃ accounts for 57~83% of the total acid content;

[0019] (3) Noble metal active components are introduced into the carrier obtained in step (2), and the final catalyst is obtained after drying and calcination.

[0020] In the method of the present invention, the relative crystallinity of the hydrogen-type ZSM-22 / ZSM-23 eutectic molecular sieve in step (1) is 95~110%, preferably 97~108%; after hydrothermal treatment at 600℃ for 2 hours, the relative crystallinity is 94~108%, preferably 95~105%.

Therefore, it can improve isomerization selectivity in the hydroisomerization reaction process, avoid hydrocracking of straight-chain alkanes and excessive cracking of product molecules, improve liquid yield and reduce product cloud point, and effectively improve the quality of lubricating oil base oil. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Figure 1 The XRD pattern of the HZSM-22 / ZSM-23 eutectic molecular sieve product synthesized in Example 1 of this invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0028] In this invention, the relative crystallinity of the molecular sieve was determined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Specifically, the hydrogen-form ZSM-22 / ZSM-23 eutectic molecular sieve prepared in Comparative Example 1 was used as a benchmark with a crystallinity of 100%. The relative crystallinity of other samples was obtained by comparing with it.

[0029] The total acid content and the acid content below 350 °C were measured by NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), with the acid content corresponding to the desorption temperature of 120~500 °C being taken as the total acid content.

[0030] In this invention, wt% is the mass fraction and v% is the volume fraction.

[0031] In this invention, the preparation method of the hydrogen-form ZSM-22 / ZSM-23 eutectic molecular sieve is as follows:

[0032] (1) Prepare a mixture A containing a structure-directing agent, amorphous silicon-aluminum or amorphous silicon-aluminum precursor;

[0033] (2) Prepare a mixed solution B of silicon source and alkali source;

[0034] (3) Mix mixture A and mixture B thoroughly to obtain the final gel, and then obtain sodium-type ZSM-22 / ZSM-23 eutectic molecular sieve after dynamic crystallization, filtration, washing, drying and calcination.

[0035] (4) The molecular sieve obtained in (3) is subjected to ammonium exchange to obtain hydrogen-type ZSM-22 / ZSM-23 eutectic molecular sieve.

[0036] In step (1) of the above method, the structure directing agent (SDA) is a mixture of dimethylamine and diethylamine.

[0037] In step (1) of the above method, the molar ratio of the structure-directing agent (SDA) dimethylamine to diethylamine is 12~30, preferably 15~25.

[0038] In step (1) of the above method, the molar ratio of silicon (as silicon oxide) to aluminum (as aluminum oxide) in the mixed solution is 1: (0.10~0.85), preferably 1: (0.20~0.80); the molar ratio of aluminum (as aluminum oxide) to the structure directing agent is 1: (10~350), preferably 1: (15~300).

[0039] In step (1) of the above method, an amorphous silicon-aluminum precursor is prepared by carbonization, and then a structure-directing agent is added to the amorphous silicon-aluminum precursor to obtain a mixture A.

[0040] The specific preparation process of a non-limiting amorphous silicon-aluminum precursor in this embodiment of the invention is as follows: An aluminum source (preferably sodium aluminate) solution and a silicon-containing compound solution are prepared separately; the sodium aluminate solution is mixed with a portion of the silicon-containing compound solution, and CO2 gas is introduced to form a gel. When the volume of the introduced CO2 gas accounts for 50-100% of the total introduced volume, preferably 70-90%, the remaining portion of the silicon-containing compound solution is added, and optionally aged to obtain the amorphous silicon-aluminum precursor.

[0041] In the preparation process of the above-mentioned amorphous silicon-aluminum precursor, the remaining silicon-containing compound solution, calculated as silicon dioxide, accounts for 5 to 85 wt% of the total amount of silicon-containing compound solution added, calculated as silicon dioxide, preferably 30 to 70 wt%.

[0042] In the preparation process of the above-mentioned amorphous silicon-aluminum precursor, the gelation reaction temperature is 10~30 ℃, and the pH value after gelation is controlled to be 9~12.

[0043] In the preparation process of the above-mentioned amorphous silicon-aluminum precursor, the silicon-containing compound solution is water glass and / or sodium silicate solution.

[0044] In the above-mentioned preparation process of amorphous silicon-aluminum precursor, the concentration of the aluminum source solution is 15~60 g Al2O3 / L based on the mass of Al2O3, the concentration of the silicon-containing compound solution is 40~260 g SiO2 / L based on the mass of SiO2, and the concentration of the CO2 gas is 30~60 g.

[0045] In the preparation process of the above-mentioned amorphous silicon-aluminum precursor, the aging time is 5-60 minutes, preferably 10-30 minutes; the aging temperature is 10-40 ℃, preferably 15-35 ℃.

[0046] In step (1) of the above method, the mixed solution A is stirred at 10~25 ℃ for 1~6 hours, preferably at 15~20 ℃ for 2~4 hours.

[0047] In step (2) of the above method, when preparing the mixed solution B, the alkali source is first dissolved in a small amount of water, and then a supplementary silicon source is added to it. The amounts of alkali source, deionized water, and supplementary silicon source are based on the aluminum (calculated as alumina) in the mixed solution in step (1), and the total feed molar ratio is SiO2 : Al2O3 : R2O (alkali source) : H2O = 1 : (0.005~0.025) : (0.015~0.08) : (40~80), SDA / SiO2 = 0.30~1.5. The preferred ratio is SiO2 / Al2O3 = 50~180, H2O / SiO2 = 30~60, R2O / SiO2 = 0.02~0.05, and SDA / SiO2 = 0.30~1.2.

[0048] In step (2) of the above method, the supplementary silicon source is one or more of silica sol, tetraethyl orthosilicate, water glass or fumed silica, preferably silica sol; the alkaline source is sodium hydroxide or / and potassium hydroxide.

[0049] In step (3) of the above method, the crystallization conditions are: dynamic crystallization at 150~200 ℃ for 16~84 hours, with a rotation speed of 10~60 rpm; preferably, dynamic crystallization at 160~180 ℃ for 20~72 hours, with a rotation speed of 20~40 rpm; drying temperature at 60~120 ℃ for 2~12 hours, preferably drying at 80~120 ℃ for 4~8 hours; calcination temperature at 500~600 ℃ for 2~8 hours, preferably calcination at 530~570 ℃ for 3~6 hours.

[0050] In step (4) of the above method, ammonium exchange is carried out using conventional methods, such as one or more ammonium exchanges. The Na in the hydrogen-form ZSM-22 / ZSM-23 eutectic molecular sieve after ammonium exchange is... + The content is less than 0.1%; then it can be washed, dried and roasted, wherein the drying temperature is 60~130 ℃ and the time is 2~12 hours, preferably drying at 80~120 ℃ for 4~8 hours; the roasting temperature is 500~600 ℃ and the time is 2~8 hours, preferably roasting at 530~570 ℃ for 3~6 hours.

[0051] In the preparation method of sodium-type ZSM-22 / ZSM-23 eutectic molecular sieve provided by this invention, all the aluminum source required for synthesis is added when preparing the amorphous silica-alumina precursor, which promotes the generation of the primary structural unit of the molecular sieve. When two structure-directing agents are added to the amorphous silica-alumina precursor, the two structure-directing agents preferentially chelate with Al species in the primary structural unit, and then, under their synergistic guiding effect, the pre-assembly of the TON / MTT composite topology is achieved. At the same time, the binding sites of Al atoms can be better controlled, promoting the subsequent crystallization to generate a molecular sieve with more weak acid sites. When a silicon source is added to form the final gel, sodium-type ZSM-22 / ZSM-23 eutectic molecular sieve is generated through dynamic crystallization. This molecular sieve has a high acid content below 350℃, which is a high proportion of the total acid content, and has great application prospects in the field of catalysis.

[0052] To better illustrate the present invention, the following description, in conjunction with embodiments and comparative examples, further explains the invention. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope of these embodiments.
