Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biofuel production and molecular sieve catalyst preparation technology, specifically to a nickel-based molecular sieve hydrocracking and isomerization catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Biofuels refer to fuel ethanol, biodiesel, and aviation biofuels produced from biological resources. They can replace gasoline and diesel fuel derived from petroleum and represent an important direction for the development and utilization of renewable energy. Compared with traditional fuels such as diesel or gasoline, they produce fewer harmful carbon emissions and are more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. In recent years, some researchers at home and abroad have proposed biodiesel synthesis technology routes based on catalytic hydrogenation processes, forming hydrocarbon-based biodiesel preparation technologies.

[0003] Hydrocarbon-based biodiesel is mainly C 15 ~C 18 n-Alkanes. Due to their poor cold flow properties, n-alkanes require isomerization-depressant processes to improve the cold flow properties of the product. Typically, in the presence of an isomerization catalyst, long-chain alkanes undergo simultaneous isomerization and cracking reactions. Excessive cracking will reduce the yield of the product fuel oil; insufficient isomerization will fail to meet the cold flow requirements of biofuels. Therefore, to obtain as many valuable biofuel products as possible (biojet fuel and low-pour-point biodiesel), the hydroisomerization process of bio-based long-chain alkanes needs to be strictly controlled, and the selectivity of isomerization and cracking is closely related to the performance of the catalyst. Since the acidic sites on the catalyst surface can simultaneously catalyze the isomerization and cracking reactions of alkanes, appropriate acid strength and quantity are key to balancing the isomerization and cracking reactions.

[0004] Existing technologies for isomerization and cracking catalysts include: Patent CN200910188170.6 discloses a hydrodewaxing catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. This catalyst uses a molecular sieve support modified with metal additives and silicone oil. By sequentially depositing additives and silicone oil, the acidity and pore shape of the inner and outer surfaces of the molecular sieve support are adjusted, thereby improving the isomerization rate of the feedstock. However, it has the following shortcomings: 1) The catalyst preparation process is complex, including multiple impregnation and high-temperature calcination processes, resulting in a long preparation cycle; 2) Due to the addition of additives and silicone oil, the active metal loading is relatively low (1%–15%), leading to low reactivity.

[0005] Patent CN201810935163.7 discloses a hydrocracking catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. The catalyst is prepared by impregnation and contains different types of phosphorus-containing molecular sieves and non-precious metal components. It exhibits excellent cracking performance in the hydrocracking reaction of Saudi vacuum residue. However, this catalyst cannot achieve co-production of biojet fuel and low-pour-point biodiesel and is not suitable for C2044.15 ~C 18 Isomerization of bio-based long-chain alkanes. However, this catalyst requires sulfidation during use, making it unsuitable for processing near-sulfur-free bio-based feedstocks.

[0006] Patent CN201610412721.2 discloses an isomerization dewaxing method for producing bio-jet fuel and a catalyst used in the method. The catalyst is one or more mesoporous molecular sieves selected from ZSM-22, ZSM-23, ZSM-12, and SAPO-11 with silicon surface modification. The active metal component is selected from noble metals Pt and / or Pd with a content of 0.1wt% to 5wt%.

[0007] A paper (Toward the production of renewablediesel over robust Ninanoclusters highly dispersed on a two-dimensional zeolite, NPG AsiaMaterials, 2023, 15, 24) discloses a method for producing biodiesel. The Ni-supported ITQ-2 molecular sieve used is prepared via organic ligand chelation impregnation and grinding. This catalyst requires first preparing MCM-22, then swelling it to obtain ITQ-2, followed by organic ligand chelation, impregnation, and grinding to finally obtain the Ni / ITQ-2 catalyst. The catalyst preparation process is complex and cumbersome, and the catalyst's stability needs improvement.

[0008] CN202011264516.9 discloses a method for preparing a hydroisomerization catalyst support. This method involves first mechanically mixing molecular sieves, amorphous inorganic porous materials, and binder powder in a container to obtain a mixed powder. Then, an additive is mixed with deionized water and added dropwise to the mixed powder. The mixture is then kneaded, homogenized, dried, and calcined to obtain a catalyst support precursor. The raw material molecular sieve is then acid-treated or alkali-treated to obtain a turbid liquid containing molecular sieve fragment structural units, which is then impregnated onto the catalyst support precursor. CN202011257233.1 discloses a method for preparing a hydroisomerization catalyst and its support. This catalyst support is prepared by mixing a modified molecular sieve (including MCM-22) containing a ten-membered ring structure with a metal and / or acid impregnation method, followed by drying and calcination, and then further modifying the resulting amorphous inorganic porous material with metal and / or acid. The preparation processes of the above two catalysts are complex and cumbersome, and it is not described whether isomerization and cracking can be simultaneously achieved.

[0009] Similarly, patent CN202010497292.X discloses a hydroisomerization catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. This catalyst uses ZSM-48 molecular sieve with a hollow spherical structure as a support, and the active metal component is selected from at least one of Group VIII noble metals, prepared by impregnation. Patents US11603501B2 and US20240034945A1 disclose catalyst preparation methods and their application in the production of bio-jet fuel. The catalysts used in these patents cannot simultaneously achieve isomerization and cracking, and all use noble metals as the active component. Although noble metals exhibit high activity at low temperatures, the catalysts are expensive and sensitive to impurities, making them highly susceptible to poisoning.

[0010] Patent CN202111280384.3 discloses a method for hydrodewaxing diesel fuel. The hydrodewaxing catalyst used is a non-precious metal catalyst supported on ZSM-5 molecular sieve treated with steam and other catalysts supported on molecular sieve supports, and is used in a staged loading manner. The invention shows that the preparation process of ZSM-5 molecular sieve support is complicated, energy-intensive, and easily generates acidic and alkaline waste liquids.

[0011] As those skilled in the art will know, petrochemical diesel and biodiesel differ significantly in composition. Petrochemical diesel contains a certain amount of cycloalkanes and aromatics, with a wide carbon number distribution; while biodiesel is almost entirely composed of n-chain alkanes, with carbon numbers concentrated between 15 and 18. Furthermore, existing petrochemical diesel aftertreatment catalysts have relatively singular functions. To ensure higher diesel yields, these catalysts tend to favor isomerization performance, making it difficult to achieve both isomerization and cracking simultaneously. The most common method is to use two reactors, one loaded with cracking catalyst and the other with isomerization catalyst, but this increases equipment investment. Therefore, conventional diesel isomerization depressant catalysts are not suitable for processing biodiesel, especially in processes aimed at producing biojet fuel and simultaneously low-pour-point biodiesel. In view of this, it is necessary to develop a nickel-based molecular sieve hydrocracking and isomerization catalyst for the simultaneous production of biojet fuel and low-pour-point biodiesel. Summary of the Invention

[0012] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a nickel-based molecular sieve hydrocracking and isomerization catalyst, its preparation method, and its applications. The method involves embedding nickel metal nanoparticles in situ into an MCM-22 molecular sieve precursor through a eutectic process. Nickel metal atoms are used to modify the surface of the molecular sieve particles, eliminating some acidic centers and forming a metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst with excellent cracking and isomerization properties. This metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst is then mixed and shaped to prepare a hydrocracking and isomerization catalyst, which is used in the production of oil-based biojet fuel and low-pour-point biodiesel.

[0013] The present invention provides a nickel-based molecular sieve hydrocracking and isomerization catalyst, wherein the nickel-based molecular sieve hydrocracking and isomerization catalyst comprises 30-80% MCM-22 molecular sieve, 15-45% nickel metal, and γ-Al2O3 by mass fraction, and the total mass fraction of the raw materials MCM-22 molecular sieve, nickel metal, and γ-Al2O3 is 100%.

[0014] The preparation method of the nickel-based molecular sieve hydrocracking and isomerization catalyst includes the following steps:

[0015] S1: Prepare the MCM-22 molecular sieve precursor and adjust the pH to 9-13;

[0016] S2: Nickel metal nanoparticles are embedded in situ into the MCM-22 molecular sieve precursor obtained in step S1, and the pH is adjusted to 8-12 to obtain a metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve complex.

[0017] S3: The metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve composite prepared in step S2 is treated with acid solution and / or alkaline solution, and then filtered, washed with water, dried and calcined in sequence to obtain the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst.

[0019] Optionally, the preparation method of the MCM-22 molecular sieve precursor in step S1 includes the following steps:

[0020] A viscous liquid was obtained by dissolving a silicon source, an aluminum source, sodium hydroxide, and a template agent in deionized water. The liquid was then hydrothermally treated at 30–80 °C to obtain the MCM-22 molecular sieve precursor.

[0021] The chemical composition of the viscous liquid, calculated by the mass of oxides, is SiO2:Al2O3:Na2O:template:H2O = (20-80):(0.5-2):(10-50):(5-30):(1000-5000). Preferably, the chemical composition of the viscous liquid is SiO2:Al2O3:Na2O:template:H2O = (20-70):(0.5-1.5):(10-40):(5-20):(1000-4000).

[0022] Furthermore, in step S1, a precursor of MCM-22 molecular sieve with a specific structure is obtained, which promotes the formation of the subsequent MCM-22 molecular sieve structure and lays the foundation for the subsequent intercalation of active metals.

[0023] Optionally, the preparation method of the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve complex in step S2 includes the following steps:

[0024] Nickel salt was added to the MCM-22 molecular sieve precursor, and a crystallization reaction was carried out at 120-180℃ for 3-9 days. After filtration, washing and drying, a metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve composite with nickel metal nanoparticles embedded was obtained.

[0025] The chemical composition of the feed, calculated by the mass of the oxides, is SiO2:Al2O3:NiO:Na2O:template:H2O = (20-80):(0.5-2):(5-35):(10-50):(5-30):(1000-5000). Preferably, the chemical composition of the feed, calculated by the mass of the oxides, is SiO2:Al2O3:NiO:Na2O:template:H2O = (30-80):(1-2):(10-35):(20-50):(10-30):(2000-5000).

[0026] Furthermore, in step S2, nickel metal nanoparticles are in situ embedded in the molecular sieve through a co-hydrothermal process of nickel salt and MCM-22 molecular sieve precursor. On the one hand, the particle size of the molecular sieve is controlled, and on the other hand, the surface of the molecular sieve particles is modified to appropriately reduce the number and intensity of acid centers, thereby obtaining a molecular sieve material with moderate cracking performance.

[0027] Optionally, nickel salts include one or more of nitrates, nitrites, sulfates, chlorides, basic carbonates, and acetates.

[0028] Optionally, the template agent is hexamethyleneimine.

[0029] Optionally, the preparation method of the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst in step S3 includes the following steps:

[0030] The metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve composite was treated with an acid solution at a temperature of 40–60 °C. The treated material was then filtered, washed with water, dried, and calcined at 450–600 °C to obtain the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst.

[0031] The metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve composite was treated with an alkaline solution at a temperature of 50–80 °C. The treated material was then filtered, washed with water, dried, and calcined at 450–600 °C to obtain the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst.

[0032] Furthermore, the preparation method of the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst in step S3 may include the following steps: first, the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve composite is treated with an acid solution at a temperature of 40-70°C, and then the treated material is sequentially filtered, washed with water, and dried; then, the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve composite is treated with an alkaline solution at a temperature of 50-80°C, and then the treated material is sequentially filtered, washed with water, dried, and calcined at 450-600°C to obtain the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst;

[0033] Alternatively, the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve composite can be treated first with an inorganic alkaline solution at a temperature of 50–80°C, and then the treated material can be filtered, washed with water, and dried sequentially. Then, the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve composite can be treated with an acid solution at a temperature of 40–70°C, and then the treated material can be filtered, washed with water, dried, and calcined at 450–600°C sequentially to obtain the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst.

[0034] Furthermore, in step S3, removing the template agent through high-temperature treatment can improve the thermal and chemical stability of the molecular sieve.

[0035] Optionally, in step S4, the mass ratio of the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst, aluminum hydroxide dry adhesive powder, dilute nitric acid solution, and guar gum powder is (30-70):(2-4):(2-4):(10-30). Preferably, in step S4, the mass ratio of the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst, aluminum hydroxide dry adhesive powder, dilute nitric acid solution, and guar gum powder is (30-50):(2-4):(2-4):(10-20).

[0036] Optionally, the properties of the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst are as follows: BET specific surface area of ​​200–500 m². 2 The total pore volume is 0.30–0.90 cm³. 3 / g, SiO2:Al2O3 molar ratio = 15~80.

[0037] Optionally, the acid solution includes one or more of hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, and citric acid; the concentration of the acid solution is 0.1 to 0.5 mol / L; preferably, the acid solution is a mixed acid solution of hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid, with a mass ratio of hydrochloric acid to phosphoric acid of 1:1.

[0038] Optionally, the alkaline solution includes one or more of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and ammonia water; the concentration of the alkaline solution is 0.1 to 0.5 mol / L; preferably, the alkaline solution is a mixed alkaline solution of sodium hydroxide and ammonia water, with a mass ratio of sodium hydroxide to ammonia water of 1:1.

[0039] Optionally, the silicon source may include one or two of silica sol, silica, sodium silicate, and kaolin.

[0040] Optionally, the aluminum source may include one or two of aluminum sulfate, aluminum nitrate, aluminum chloride, and sodium aluminate.

[0041] Another aspect of this invention provides the application of a nickel-based molecular sieve hydrocracking and isomerization catalyst in the hydroisomerization / cracking reaction of bio-based long-chain alkanes, wherein the bio-based long-chain alkanes are derived from the hydrodeoxygenation process of bio-oils and have a C60-400 ppm composition. 15 ~C 18 A mixture of straight-chain alkanes with a sulfur content of <3 ppmw.

[0042] Furthermore, regarding C 15 ~C 18 For n-alkane-based biodiesel, existing catalysts have relatively simple structures and uneven acid strength and quantity distribution, resulting in an inability to simultaneously achieve isomerization and cracking performance during hydroisomerization or cracking. This application utilizes nickel metal atoms to induce the growth of MCM-22 molecular sieve precursors and modifies the surface of the molecular sieve particles to eliminate some acidic centers, forming a metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst with excellent cracking and isomerization performance. Application in C 15 ~C 18 For n-alkane-based biodiesel, under mild conditions (e.g., 260°C), the cracking rate is not less than 43%, and the isomerization rate is not less than 42%, simultaneously achieving good isomerization and cracking performance. Preferably, when the reaction is carried out at elevated temperatures (e.g., 300°C), the cracking rate is not less than 61%, and the isomerization rate is not less than 52%.

[0043] Optionally, the hydrocracking and isomerization reaction conditions are: reaction temperature 200–300℃, reaction pressure 3–8 MPa, and liquid hourly space velocity 0.2–3.0 h⁻¹. -1 The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 400–800.

[0044] Optionally, the bio-oil is selected from waste cooking oil, swill oil, palm oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, palm oil, cottonseed oil, jatropha oil, peanut oil, tallow or lard, and / or natural oils.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the present invention achieves at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0046] (1) For the first time, a catalyst prepared by combining nickel metal nanoparticles and MCM-22 molecular sieve was applied to hydrocracking and isomerization reactions.

[0047] Furthermore, the prepared metal (nickel)-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst simultaneously possesses isomerization and cracking properties, overcoming the technical obstacle of existing catalysts that cannot simultaneously exhibit both isomerization and cracking performance. This is because this application uses a eutectic process to in-situ embed a specific amount of nickel metal nanoparticles into the MCM-22 molecular sieve, achieving nickel metal atom modification of the MCM-22 molecular sieve particle surface, eliminating some acidic centers, and thus obtaining a metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst that simultaneously possesses isomerization and cracking properties.

[0048] Furthermore, the selectivity of isomerization and cracking performance of the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst can be adjusted by changing the nickel and molecular sieve content, thereby improving the flexibility of the entire production process. The ratio of biojet fuel and biodiesel can be flexibly adjusted according to market demand.

[0049] (2) The catalyst of this invention is a reduced catalyst, which does not require sulfidation before use and does not require sulfur replenishment during use. It will not affect the sulfur content of the product, nor will it generate sulfur-containing waste gas, thus avoiding environmental pollution. The catalyst prepared by this invention does not contain precious metals, and its production cost is much lower than that of precious metal catalysts. It is also more tolerant to raw materials.

[0050] (3) The catalyst prepared by the method of the present invention is unsupported and the active metal content is 2 to 3 times that of conventional supported catalysts. The nickel metal loading in the catalyst prepared by the present invention can be as high as 42%, exhibiting higher catalytic activity, and the reaction can be carried out at a lower temperature.

[0142] The catalysts prepared in the examples and comparative examples were loaded into a high-pressure fixed-bed reactor and, after being sealed, treated at 200°C for 4 hours under a normal hydrogen atmosphere to remove adsorbed water and other gaseous impurities from the catalyst. Then, the hydrogen pressure in the reactor was increased to 4 MPa, and after the tail gas flow rate after the back pressure valve stabilized, the reactor temperature was programmed to 260°C.

[0148] Continued from Table 1

[0149]

[0150] As shown in Table 1, when the nickel-based molecular sieve catalyst of this invention is applied to the hydrocracking and isomerization of hydrocarbon-based biodiesel, it achieves ideal results at relatively low reaction temperatures, with a liquid yield of not less than 95%, a product pour point not higher than -20°C, a cracking rate of not less than 38%, and an isomerization rate of not less than 42%. Comparing Examples 1 and 2, 3, 4, and 5, changes in metal content significantly affect the catalyst's performance (activity, yield, cracking rate, isomerization rate, and stability). With increasing nickel content, the catalyst activity significantly improves; however, excessive loading of metallic nickel affects the pore structure, acid properties, and nickel metal dispersion of the molecular sieve, thereby reducing the cracking rate and isomerization rate of the feedstock.

[0151] Comparing Examples 1 and 6, 7, and 8, acid-base treatment significantly affects the catalyst's structure and reaction performance (activity, yield, cracking rate, isomerization rate, and stability). Acid-base treatment also partially removes aluminum and silicon from the molecular sieve, forming more mesoporous structures, which facilitates reaction diffusion and thus improves catalyst activity. Compared to alkali treatment, acid-treated catalysts show significantly improved cracking and isomerization rates. This is because acid treatment removes highly aggregated and poorly active nickel metal, resulting in highly dispersed nickel metal.

[0152] Compared with Example 1 and Example 9, the molecular sieve catalyst obtained by ultrasonic-assisted crystallization is superior to the molecular sieve catalyst obtained by mechanical stirring-assisted crystallization in terms of activity, cracking rate and isomerization rate.

[0153] Compared with Example 1, the catalyst prepared by the conventional impregnation method has a lower metal dispersion and forms a large amount of nickel metal with a high degree of aggregation and poor activity. In addition, the excessive metal will cover a large number of acidic centers on the surface of the molecular sieve support, resulting in a significant decrease in catalyst activity, cracking, isomerization and stability.

[0154] Compared to Comparative Example 2 and Example 1, the non-precious metal catalyst prepared by this invention exhibits a relatively higher feed conversion rate compared to precious metal catalysts. Although its cracking performance is lower, its product yield is higher. The non-precious metal catalyst prepared by this invention can achieve effects comparable to those of precious metal catalysts.

[0155] Compared with Comparative Example 3 and Example 1, and compared with direct crystallization after mixing all materials, the non-precious metal catalyst prepared by the precursor method of the present invention exhibits relatively higher feed conversion rate, yield, cracking rate, isomerization rate and stability.

[0156] Compared with Comparative Example 4 and Example 1, and compared with Fe-MCM-22, the Ni-MCM-22 catalyst used in this invention exhibits higher feed conversion rate, yield, cracking rate and isomerization rate.

[0157] Compared with Comparative Example 5 and Example 1, and compared with Ni-ZSM-22, the Ni-MCM-22 catalyst used in this invention exhibits higher feed conversion rate, yield, cracking rate, isomerization rate and stability, which is attributed to the unique layered structure and abundant mesoporous structure of MCM-22 molecular sieve.

[0158] Experimental Example 2

[0159] The catalysts prepared in the examples and comparative examples were loaded into a high-pressure fixed-bed reactor and, after being sealed, treated at 200°C for 4 hours under a normal hydrogen atmosphere to remove adsorbed water and other gaseous impurities from the catalyst. Then, the hydrogen pressure in the reactor was increased to 4 MPa, and after the tail gas flow rate after the back pressure valve stabilized, the reactor temperature was programmed to 300°C. The isomerization reaction was then initiated with a volume hourly space velocity (VHSV) of 1.5 h⁻¹. -1 The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 800:1. The reactant used in the reaction is gutter oil that has undergone hydrodeoxygenation to obtain C2. 15 -C 18 A mixture of straight-chain alkanes, with a pour point of 15°C and a sulfur content of 2 ppmw. Performance tests were conducted, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0160] The stability in the table below represents the time during which the catalytic performance of the catalyst remains essentially unchanged during the catalytic reaction in a high-pressure fixed-bed reactor.

[0165]

[0166] Continued from Table 2

[0167] Referring to Table 2, when the nickel-based molecular sieve catalyst of this invention is applied to the hydrocracking and isomerization of hydrocarbon-based biodiesel, at relatively high reaction temperatures (e.g., 300°C), the liquid yield is not less than 85%, the pour point is not higher than -31°C, the cracking rate is not less than 61%, and the isomerization rate is not less than 52%. Increasing the reaction temperature can improve the catalyst's reactivity and the cracking and isomerization rates of n-alkanes, but high temperatures will significantly reduce the product yield and generate more gas. Therefore, for the same catalyst, a moderate reaction temperature can yield more of the target product. The source of the straight-chain alkane feedstock has little effect on the reaction process.

[0168] refer to Figure 1 The image shows a scanning electron microscope (SEM) energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) spectrum of the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst in Example 1 of this application. As can be seen from the image, in the composite catalyst prepared by in-situ embedding, metallic nickel is uniformly dispersed inside the molecular sieve, which can provide more metal active centers and is beneficial to the activation of CH bonds in the raw material molecules.

[0169] refer to Figure 2 The figure shows a gas chromatogram of the liquid product obtained using the metal-MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst in Example 2 of this application. As can be seen from the figure, the product consists of normal and isoalkanes with different carbon numbers, concentrated in the C8–C9 range. 16 Based on the jet fuel composition and the pour point of the products in Table 2, it can be seen that the nickel-based molecular sieve catalyst prepared in this invention exhibits excellent cracking and isomerization properties, making it very suitable for the production of bio-jet fuel products.

Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art.
