Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing a hydrocracking catalyst. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrocracking technology is a crucial technology for producing high-quality, clean petroleum products, boasting unique advantages such as strong feedstock adaptability, flexible processing options, and high product quality. Hydrocracking catalysts used in industrial applications mainly include alumina, molecular sieves, active metals, and silica-alumina oxides. Alumina, molecular sieves, and silica-alumina oxides form the support, whose primary function is to provide suitable acidic sites during the hydrocracking reaction to promote the breaking of chemical bonds in heavy oil molecules, while also providing abundant specific surface area. Active metals primarily provide the hydrogenation function.

[0003] Existing methods for preparing hydrocracking catalysts often rely on Y-type molecular sieves or / and β-type molecular sieves for their acidic components. However, these molecular sieves offer limited means for controlling the yield and quality of the target product. Simply pursuing a high yield of the target product can easily lead to low liquid yield and poor economic efficiency. On the other hand, pursuing a high liquid yield makes it difficult to obtain a considerable economic oil product yield. Furthermore, the pore distribution of a single molecular sieve is uniform, and the acidic properties and environment within the pores are not rich enough, making it difficult for the prepared catalyst to achieve optimal performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to at least partially overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a hydrocracking catalyst.

[0005] The hydrocracking catalyst includes SAPO-34 molecular sieve with excellent acidity. Sucrose is dissolved in water to form an aqueous solution. An aluminum source, a silicon source, a phosphorus source, a template agent, and water are added to the aqueous solution obtained in step (1) and mixed evenly. The mixture is stirred to form a mixture. Polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene octadecyl alcohol ether is added to the mixture, and after rapid mixing, crystallization is carried out to obtain SAPO-34 molecular sieve. The amount of polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene octadecyl alcohol ether added is 0.1-20 wt% based on 100% of the aluminum source, and the amount of sucrose is 0.1-4.9 wt%.

[0006] This invention discloses a hydrocracking catalyst, which is made by supporting an active metal on a support. The preparation process of the support includes kneading, extruding, drying, and calcining a mixture of SAPO-34 molecular sieve, β molecular sieve, amorphous silica-alumina, Y molecular sieve, and alumina. The active metal includes oxides of W and Ni. The hydrocracking catalyst of this invention can inhibit over-cracking in the hydrocracking reaction of wax oil containing macromolecules, improve the conversion of wax oil macromolecule reactants to target products, increase the production of jet fuel and naphtha during the hydrocracking process of wax oil, and lower the freezing point of jet fuel.

[0007] As one aspect of the present invention, a hydrocracking catalyst is disclosed, comprising a support and an active metal, wherein the support comprises a SAPO-34 molecular sieve, and the SAPO-34 molecular sieve, prior to crystallization, contains polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene octadecyl alcohol ether and sucrose, and has a specific surface area of ​​300-600 m². 2 / g, pore volume 0.2-0.5cm³ 3 / g, silicon-to-aluminum ratio 0.01-0.5.

The carrier is obtained by first mixing a 2% aqueous solution of methylcellulose with SAPO-34 molecular sieve and β molecular sieve, then mixing with amorphous silica-alumina, γ molecular sieve, and alumina, extruding, and drying.

[0009] In a specific embodiment, the content of the carrier is 63-95 wt%; and the content of the active metal, based on the weight of the oxide, is 5-37 wt%.

[0010] In a specific embodiment, the active metal is W and / or Ni; the active metal, by weight of oxides, has an oxide content of 1-28 wt% for W and an oxide content of 4-9 wt% for Ni.

[0011] In a specific embodiment, the catalyst further includes P, and the oxide content of P is 0.1-3 wt% by weight of oxide.

[0012] In a specific embodiment, the amorphous silica-alumina contains 15-70 wt% silica; the Y molecular sieve has a silica-to-alumina ratio of 7-30 and a cell parameter of 2.43-2.46 nm; the β molecular sieve has a silica-to-alumina ratio of 20-110, a non-framework aluminum content of less than 3%, and a specific surface area of ​​400-600 m². 2 / g.

[0013] As another aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing SAPO-34 molecular sieves is provided, comprising:

[0014] (1) Add aluminum source, silicon source, phosphorus source and template agent to an aqueous solution of sucrose and mix to obtain a mixture;

[0015] (2) Add polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene octadecyl alcohol ether and crystallize to obtain SAPO-34 molecular sieve.

[0016] In step (1), the molar ratio of silicon source: aluminum source: phosphorus source: template agent is (0.5-2):(2-4):(2.5-4):(1-6), and further, the molar ratio of silicon source: aluminum source: phosphorus source: template agent: water is (0.5-2):(2-4):(2.5-4):(1-6):(90-180).

[0017] In step (2), the amount of polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene octadecyl alcohol ether added is 0.1 to 20 wt% based on 100% of the weight of the aluminum source.

[0019] As another aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing a carrier is provided, comprising: mixing a 2% aqueous solution of methylcellulose with SAPO-34 molecular sieve and β molecular sieve, then mixing with amorphous silica-alumina, Y molecular sieve and alumina, extruding, and drying to obtain the carrier.

[0020] As another aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing the above-mentioned catalyst is provided, comprising: impregnating a support in an impregnation solution containing an active metal, drying and calcining it to obtain a hydrocracking catalyst.

[0021] The impregnation process involves supersaturating the carrier with a W-Ni complex impregnation solution.

[0022] Furthermore, the W-Ni complex impregnation solution is prepared by mixing and dissolving a soluble active metal salt, phosphoric acid, and a complexing agent in deionized water or ammonia water. The complexing agent is one or more of citric acid, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, glycine, ethylenediamine, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, preferably citric acid or ethanolamine.

[0023] The hydrocracking catalyst of the present invention can be used for the hydrocracking reaction of straight-run wax oil and / or diesel feedstock, and is particularly suitable for the catalytic hydrocracking reaction of feedstock with a dry point ≤540°C, residual carbon ≤0.5ω%, and nitrogen content ≤1500μg / g.

[0024] This invention's innovative hydrocracking catalyst utilizes a composite molecular sieve rich in Brønsted acid as a support material. This catalyst promotes selective ring-opening in the hydrocracking reaction, inhibits excessive cracking of reactants, reduces catalyst coking rate, increases jet fuel yield, and also produces naphtha. In the hydrocracking of wax oil, it can significantly improve jet fuel yield and lower the freezing point of aviation kerosene. The SAPO-34 molecular sieve contained in this invention has a higher specific surface area and pore volume, making it more suitable for the diffusion and reaction of macromolecules in wax oil hydrocracking, and inhibiting coking.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0027] Figure 2 The NH3-TPD diagrams for Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 show that the SAPO-34 molecular sieve synthesized in this invention uses more Brønsted acid. Detailed Implementation

[0028] The inventors prepared a hydrocracking catalyst support according to CN111318313A. However, because the SAPO-34 molecular sieve was not optimized for acidity, the SAPO-34 molecular sieve had a relatively high carbon deposition rate, which did not meet the requirements for long-term stability of the catalyst in industrial applications.

[0029] The inventors prepared a hydrocracking catalyst according to WO2020119754A1. The synthetic material only uses silane as a regulator, which is costly and not conducive to reducing catalyst cost and popularizing industrialization.

[0030] The hydrocracking catalyst prepared by the inventors with reference to CN105709844A has low selectivity for jet fuel.

[0031] The inventors prepared a hydrocracking catalyst with relatively low oil selectivity, referring to CN104667969B.

[0032] Since none of the above could meet the inventor's expectations, the inventor made this invention after further research and development.

[0033] 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. wt% in the present invention represents a mass percentage.

[0034] Evaluation and analytical methods included BET determination, true boiling point cutoff, and pour point determination. Specific surface area and pore volume of the samples were determined using a Kanta autosorb-analyzer. Jet kerosene yield was determined using an i-Fischer DIST D-2892CC true boiling point distillation apparatus, and pour point data were determined using a BF-15 pour point analyzer from Dalian Northern Analytical Instruments Co., Ltd.

The resulting wet strip was dried in an oven at 110℃ for 9 hours, and finally placed in a muffle furnace and calcined at a programmed temperature of 550℃ for 6 hours to obtain the carrier. At room temperature, 1.2 g of citric acid, 13.5 g of nickel nitrate hexahydrate, 3.35 g of phosphoric acid (85 wt%), and 22.1 g of ammonium metatungstate were dissolved sequentially in 20 mL of deionized water. The impregnation solution was brought to a final volume of 65 mL. 100 g of the support prepared in the previous step was placed in the impregnation tank, and the impregnation solution was poured in. After soaking for 2 h, the impregnated support was first cured in an oven at 30 °C for 8 h, then dried in an oven at 120 °C for 6 h, and finally placed in a muffle furnace and calcined at 550 °C for 6 h to obtain catalyst C-7.
