Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of solid waste recycling, and particularly relates to a utilization method of waste hydrogenation bulk catalyst. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of chemical industry, especially the development of oil refining, chemical industry and other chemical industries using a large amount of catalyst, a large amount of waste catalyst will be produced. At the same time, with the increasingly strict environmental regulations, the treatment of these waste catalysts has become an important issue. Especially the bulk catalyst, the active metal content is high, if directly discarded, it will bring great loss in economy and environmental protection. The bulk catalyst is often used for processing heavy oil due to its high activity, and the impurity content in the waste catalyst is high, which further increases the difficulty of recycling the bulk catalyst, and an environmentally friendly method for recycling the waste catalyst is needed.
[0003] CN108067245A discloses a recycling method of a hydrogenation treatment catalyst. The molybdenum-nickel waste catalyst is extracted, calcined and crushed into catalyst powder, which is mixed with alkali to obtain an aluminate solution and a nickel oxide solid. The aluminate solution is used to prepare a pseudo-boehmite carrier by carbonization method, and the nickel oxide is prepared into basic nickel carbonate. The obtained molybdate basic nickel carbonate is prepared into a molybdenum-nickel-phosphorus solution, which is then impregnated on the carrier. This method is particularly suitable for recycling and preparing new catalysts from molybdenum and nickel waste catalysts, and has the characteristics of simple process and low treatment cost.
[0004] CN112619658A discloses a recycling method of waste hydrogenation catalyst. The waste hydrogenation catalyst is extracted to remove oil, calcined and crushed, mixed with alkali, calcined, impregnated with hot water and filtered to obtain a filtrate and a residue. Then, a polymer monomer is added to the filtrate to obtain solution I and solution II for co-current gelation reaction. The aged material is subjected to solid-liquid separation, extruded into strips, dried and calcined to obtain a hydrogenation catalyst.
[0005] CN108620083A discloses a recycling method of waste hydrogenation catalyst. The catalyst waste is crushed, sieved and then slurried to obtain a slurry with a solid content of 15wt%-55wt%. Nitric acid, phosphoric acid and an organic acid solution are added under stirring, and the temperature is raised to 65-100℃ and then cooled to room temperature. An organic amine is then added and mixed uniformly to obtain a sol slurry of the waste material. The sol slurry of the waste material, a mixture of modified large-pore alumina powder and small-pore alumina powder, and a extrusion aid are mixed uniformly, and then subjected to mixing, molding, drying and calcination to obtain an alumina carrier. The active component is loaded on the carrier to obtain a hydrogenation catalyst.
[0006] The metal content of the catalyst involved in the above method is small, and when the active metal of the active metal content of more than 60% of the bulk hydrogenation catalyst is treated, the active metal recovery rate is poor, at the same time, the impurities of the recovered active metal solution are more, and when the active metal is used again, the adhesion of the gelled material is poor, which affects the molding effect of the recovered catalyst, the crushing strength of the finished catalyst is poor, the catalyst impurities are more, and the activity and activity stability (life) of the catalyst are reduced.

[0053] This embodiment is an experiment to evaluate the catalyst activity of the present invention and compare it with a comparative example catalyst. Catalysts A, B, C, and D of the present invention and comparative example catalyst E were used in comparative evaluation experiments on a 200 mL small-scale hydrogenation unit. To further evaluate the catalyst's ability to saturate with aromatics, catalytic diesel with a high aromatic content was selected as the test feedstock. The main properties of the feedstock are shown in Table 3. The catalyst activity evaluation process conditions were: hydrogen partial pressure 6.4 MPa, reaction temperature 360 °C, and liquid hourly space velocity 1.7 h⁻¹. -1 The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio was 500:1, and the evaluation results are shown in Tables 4-6. As can be seen from Tables 1-2, compared with the comparative example catalyst, the catalyst prepared by the method of this invention has less impurity content, larger pore volume and surface area, more surface-phase active metals, and higher active metal utilization. Table 3 shows that the catalyst activity evaluation used feedstock oil with high aromatic content, which will increase the difficulty of hydrosaturation, ultra-deep hydrodesulfurization, and denitrification of the feedstock oil. The evaluation results in Tables 4-5 show that the catalyst prepared by the method of this invention not only has excellent hydrodesulfurization and hydronitrogenation activity, but also excellent hydrosaturation performance, effectively reducing the aromatic content of heavy distillate oil. The catalyst prepared by the method of this invention, when used to process heavy distillate oil, especially for processing low-quality diesel fractions with high aromatic content and high processing difficulty, exhibits excellent hydrosaturation, hydrodesulfurization, and hydronitrogenation performance, effectively reducing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content and improving the cetane number of diesel. Table 6 shows the activity evaluation results of the catalyst after 2000 hours of operation under unchanged evaluation conditions. It can be seen that the fresh catalyst prepared by the method of the present invention using waste bulk catalyst has good activity stability due to its low impurity content.
