AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of petroleum chemical catalysis, and relates to a regeneration method of a catalytic material, in particular to a regeneration method of a hydrogenation catalyst. BACKGROUND

[0002] The activity of a catalyst will gradually decrease during use, i.e. the catalyst is deactivated, and the speed of deactivation is closely related to the properties of raw materials, operating conditions, product requirements and the characteristics of the catalyst itself. Hydrogenation catalyst regeneration is to prolong the service life of the catalyst and reduce production costs. The essence of ex-situ regeneration technology is to remove the surface carbon by contacting the deactivated catalyst with an oxygen-containing gas, i.e. to regenerate the catalyst by carbon burning. Since high-temperature carbon burning is required for treatment, most of the active metals in the catalyst exist in an oxidized state, and the activity of the catalyst needs to be restored by sulfurization again when it is used again, which causes waste of sulfurizing agent and complicated steps and poor economic efficiency. Compared with fresh catalyst, the high temperature during high-temperature carbon burning treatment causes the metals to easily aggregate, the number of active centers of the catalyst after carbon burning is reduced, the hydrogenation activity is decreased, and the recycling of the catalyst is affected.

[0003] CN200810012213.0 discloses a regeneration method of a hydrogenation deactivated catalyst, which first removes the carbon on the surface of the catalyst by sulfur burning and carbon burning treatment of the deactivated catalyst, then treats it with a sulfur compound such as mercaptan and / or sulfide, and finally obtains a regenerated catalyst by calcination. This method can effectively reduce the interaction between the carrier and the metal, and obtain a regenerated catalyst with good activity recovery. However, the active metals are very easy to aggregate during high-temperature carbon burning, the number of active centers of the catalyst after carbon burning is reduced, the hydrogenation activity is decreased, and the active metals exist in an oxidized state after carbon burning, so the catalyst needs to be re-sulfurized to restore its activity, which also causes waste of sulfurizing agent. CN114425460A discloses a regeneration method of a deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, which first mixes the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst with an organic acid and / or organic acid salt solution for heat treatment, then mixes the heat-treated sample with a complexing agent for heat treatment again to obtain a regenerated catalyst. This method does not need high-temperature carbon burning, the obtained regenerated catalyst is in a sulfidized state, does not need to be re-sulfurized, saves the amount of sulfurizing agent, and the process is simple, but this method cannot remove the carbon on the catalyst, so the carbon content of the deactivated catalyst cannot be greater than 4.0wt%, and the regeneration effect of this method is very poor for a deactivated catalyst with a carbon content greater than 4.0wt%. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the problems and deficiencies in the prior art, the present application provides a regeneration method of deactivated hydrogenation catalyst. First, the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst is mixed with a first additive, then a first heat treatment is performed under anaerobic conditions, the catalyst after heat treatment is mixed with a second additive and a third additive, and then a second heat treatment is performed to obtain a regenerated catalyst. The overall regeneration process does not need to use sulfidation agent for re-sulfidation, and the sulfidation process is omitted, which is good in technical and economic efficiency. Due to the presence of the first additive, the carbon content of the deactivated catalyst can be higher, solving the problem that the deactivated catalyst with high carbon content can only be treated by carbon burning. Due to the re-dispersion of the second additive on the active metal and the hydrogen bonding and steric hindrance of the bulky group of the third additive, the interaction between the active component and the carrier of the hydrogenation catalyst is weakened, the active component is re-dispersed, and the growth and agglomeration of the active component are effectively inhibited, greatly improving the hydrogenation activity of the regenerated catalyst.

[0027] The regeneration method of the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst provided by the present application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0028] (1) The regeneration method of the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst provided by the application, through the addition of the first additive and the calcination treatment under the absolute oxygen condition, not only makes most of the carbon deposition on the deactivated catalyst dissolved, but also destroys the sheet crystal structure of the molybdenum sulfide, thereby improving the dispersion degree of the sheet crystal of the molybdenum sulfide on the surface of the carrier and improving the catalytic activity of the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, and at the same time, the catalyst after the calcination treatment can still be in the sulfidation state, the sulfur in the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst is fully utilized, and the amount of the sulfidation agent used is saved, the process is simple, and for the hydrogenation catalyst with a carbon content of greater than 4.0wt%, the heat treatment under the absolute oxygen condition can also be performed without the calcination under the air condition.

[0029] (2) The regeneration method of the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst provided by the application, through the addition of the first additive and the calcination treatment under the absolute oxygen condition, not only improves the dispersion degree of the active metal on the surface of the carrier, but also makes the second additive and the third additive have more contact sites with the active metal, and the second additive and the third additive better play the roles of the re-dispersion of the active metal and the inhibition of the growth and agglomeration of the active component, thereby improving the hydrogenation activity of the regenerated hydrogenation catalyst.

[0030] (3) The regeneration method of the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst provided by the application, since the first additive generates hydrogen free radicals under the absolute oxygen heat treatment condition, the free radicals generated by the pyrolysis of the carbon deposition are stable, and the generated products can be dissolved in the first additive. At the same time, since the heat treatment temperature is in the dehydrogenation temperature range of the first additive, the hydrogen free radicals generated by the first additive can induce the pyrolysis of the carbon deposition on the catalyst, and the generated products are dissolved in the first additive.

[0031] (4) The regeneration method of the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst provided by the application, through the addition of the second additive and the third additive, the re-dispersion of the active metal by the second additive and the strong proton-providing ability of the N-H bond contained in the third additive can form S…H-N hydrogen bonds with the sulfur in the active metal sulfide and hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the carrier, and the active metal sulfide is coated, the interaction between the active component of the hydrogenation catalyst and the carrier is weakened, thereby the active component is re-dispersed and the growth and agglomeration of the active component are effectively inhibited, and the hydrogenation activity of the regenerated catalyst is improved. At the same time, the third additive also has a large steric hindrance, which can better disperse the active metal and inhibit the growth and agglomeration of the active metal.
