Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of petrochemical industry, and particularly relates to a hydrogenation catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing dependence on petroleum resources, efficient utilization of petroleum resources, especially efficient conversion of high-metal and high-asphaltene content inferior heavy oil into light oil and gas, is an effective way to solve the current energy problem. Hydrofining of petroleum products, including hydrodesulfurization, denitrification, and demetallization, has always been an important part of the petrochemical industry. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations and rapid economic development, there is a rapid increase in demand for light oil and gas and chemical raw materials, and it is increasingly important to develop catalysts for efficient processing of heavy feedstocks. Traditional hydrofining catalysts are fixed-bed supported catalysts, which are usually composed of active metals and supports. The active metals usually have hydrogenation activity, and the supports are alumina or mixtures thereof with other oxides (such as ZrO2, MgO, etc.), which can provide the required acidity for cracking reactions. Supported catalysts have become the most widely used catalysts in industrial applications due to their high catalytic activity, strong mechanical strength, and mature process technology. However, with the increasing deterioration of crude oil quality and the increasingly stringent requirements of environmental protection and downstream devices for oil products, supported catalysts need to be upgraded and replaced due to their low diffusion mass transfer efficiency and easy coking and deactivation. Oil-soluble catalysts used in slurry bed residue processing technology have high dispersibility, nanoscale size, and high hydrogenation activity, which can overcome steric hindrance, efficiently convert heavy components, and avoid short running cycles caused by coking and fouling. Therefore, oil-soluble catalysts are considered an effective way to hydrogenate and upgrade oil products. As the core of slurry bed processing technology, the preparation of slurry bed oil-soluble catalysts has attracted much attention.

Then, the method reacts at a temperature T2 for a time t2, and then adds a second metal source or a dispersion thereof, and reacts at a temperature T2 for a time t3. The resulting liquid product is collected as a non-supported catalyst.

[0031] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0032] The first aspect of the present application provides an oil-soluble hydrogenation catalyst, which comprises a metal central atom or central ion and an organic ligand coordinated with the metal central atom or central ion; the general formula of the hydrogenation catalyst is:

[0084] Table 4: Reaction results of Examples 10-12 and Comparative Example 1

[0085]

[0086] From the results in Table 4, it can be seen that compared with the pure thermal reaction without adding catalyst, the oil-soluble hydrogenation catalysts of the present application have higher DBT conversion rate and desulfurization rate, indicating that the catalysts of the present application have catalytic hydrogenation and desulfurization activity.

[0087] Examples 13-15 and Comparative Example 2

[0088] The hydrogenation catalysts prepared in Examples 2, 4 and 5 were applied to the hydrogenation reaction of catalytic diesel oil. The catalytic diesel oil contained 0.739% of S, 554 μg / g of N, 88% of total aromatic hydrocarbons, 16.9% of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 60.8% of bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and 10.3% of tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The reaction was carried out in a 100 mL full back-mixed high-pressure reactor. 10 g of the catalytic diesel oil was added, and 2 g of the hydrogenation catalyst was added in terms of metal content. The test conditions included an initial hydrogen pressure of 5 MPa, a reaction temperature of 360°C and a reaction time of 60 min. The experimental results are shown in Table 5.

[0089] Comparative Example 2 was tested according to the method of Examples 13-15, except that a conventional Ni-W supported catalyst (28% of Ni+W content, Al2O3, SiO2, etc. as the support) was used to replace the products prepared in Examples in an equivalent amount of metal content. The experimental results are shown in Table 5.

[0090] Table 5 Reaction results of Examples 10-12 and Comparative Example 2

[0091]

[0092] As can be seen from the results in Table 5, compared with the supported catalyst, the non-supported single-metal hydrogenation catalyst and the double-metal or multi-metal hydrogenation catalyst of the present application have lower S and N contents. In addition, the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be effectively reduced, which indicates that the hydrogenation catalysts of the present application have higher catalytic hydrogenation activity.

[0093] Examples 16-17 and Comparative Examples 3-4

[0094] The hydrogenation catalysts prepared in Examples 2 and 4 were applied to the hydrogenation reaction of vacuum residue. The vacuum residue contained 14% of asphaltene, 26.3% of carbon residue and 175 μg / g of heavy metals (Ni+V). 200 g of the vacuum residue was mixed with the hydrogenation catalyst in a 2 L batch high-pressure reactor, and the mixture was contacted with hydrogen under hydrogenation conditions to perform a catalytic hydro-thermal conversion test of the residue. The hydrogenation reaction conditions and the experimental results are shown in Table 6.

[0095] Comparative Example 3 was tested according to the method of Examples 16 or 17, except that the catalyst used in Comparative Example 3 was a single-metal oil-soluble molybdenum catalyst currently used in industry, and the other test conditions were the same. The experimental results are shown in Table 6.

[0096] Comparative Example 4 was tested according to Examples 16 or 17, except that the catalyst used in Comparative Example 4 was the Ni-W supported catalyst used in Comparative Example 2, and the other test conditions were the same. The experimental results are shown in Table 6. Comparative Example 3 was tested according to the method of Examples 16 or 17, except that the catalyst used in Comparative Example 3 was a single-metal oil-soluble molybdenum catalyst currently used in industry, and the other test conditions were the same. The experimental results are shown in Table 6.

[0097] Table 6 Reaction results of Examples 16-17 and Comparative Examples 3-4

[0098]

[0099] From the data of Examples 16, 17 and Comparative Examples 3, 4 in Table 6, it can be seen that the oil-soluble hydrogenation catalyst prepared by the present application not only has lower catalyst metal cost, but also can obtain higher residue cracking rate, lower condensation rate and higher distillate yield when applied to oil hydrogenation.

[0100] Example 18

[0101] The determination method of the metal content in the hydrogenation catalysts obtained in Examples 1-9 and the metal organic acid complexes of the raw materials is as follows: after the test sample is diluted 100 times with an organic solvent, the SPECTRO ARCOS SOP plasma emission spectrometer is used to determine the metal content by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), and the determination conditions are as follows: the light chamber is tightly filled with argon, the observation is vertical, and the wavelength range is 130 nm-770 nm.

[0102] The determination method of the infrared spectrum of the hydrogenation catalysts obtained in Examples 1-6 is as follows: the NICOLET IS50 spectrometer of Thermo Fisher Company is used to determine the infrared spectrum of the obtained solid catalyst product, and the determination conditions are as follows: the scanning wavelength is from 400-4000 cm -1 , and the scanning times are 16. The ZnSe crystal and mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector are used together to measure the attenuated total reflection ratio (ATR) of the sample, and the resolution is 4 cm -1 .

[0103] Figure 1 The infrared absorption spectrum of the organic ligand compound ethylhexanoic acid in Example 1 is shown in the figure, and it can be seen from the figure that there is a C-O characteristic peak of carboxylic acid at 1701.88 cm -1 , and there is a C-H characteristic peak of CH3 at 1460 cm -1 . Figure 2 The infrared absorption spectrum of the organic acid complexed with Zn in Example 1 is shown in the figure, and it can be seen from the figure that zinc iso-octanoate mainly has two structures, respectively at 1629.21 cm -1 and 1548.00 cm -1 , which are the coordination peaks of carboxylate. The characteristic peaks at these two places are respectively different from the coordination peak of carboxylate at 1427.06 cm -1 by 202.15 cm -1 and 120.94 cm -1 , respectively, indicating that they are monodentate and bidentate coordination forms, respectively, and there is a carboxylic acid peak at 1706.42 cm -1The CO characteristic peak at this location is basically the same as that of the carboxylic acid of ethylhexanoic acid, indicating that the carboxylic acid is in a free state. Figure 3 The image shows the infrared absorption spectrum of the organic acid complexed with Fe in Example 2. An interaction exists between the unreacted organic acid and the coordinated Fe metal, causing the characteristic peak of free carboxylic acid (CO) to shift blue to 1691.55 cm⁻¹. -1 The resulting ferrous isooctanoate also has two coordination structures, located at 1587.31 cm⁻¹. -1 and 1541.18cm -1 The coordination peaks of the carboxylate are generated, and the characteristic peaks at these two locations are similar to those at 1421.90 cm⁻¹. -1 The coordination peaks of the carboxylates differ by 165.41 cm⁻¹. -1 and 119.28cm -1 This indicates monodentate and bidentate coordination forms, respectively. Furthermore, the catalysts prepared in Examples 4-6 using ferric isooctanoate with different metal sources demonstrate this (e.g.) Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the original coordination structure of iron isooctanoate was altered. After the addition of Mo metal, the main product still mainly coordinates with Fe and carboxylate, and the concentrations at 1611.28 cm⁻¹ are as follows. -1 and 1565.35cm -1 The coordination peaks of the carboxylate are generated, and the characteristic peaks at these two locations are similar to those at 1406.50 cm⁻¹. -1 The coordination peaks of the carboxylates differ by 204.78 cm⁻¹. -1 and 159.85cm -1 This indicates that both are monodentate coordination mechanisms, but their coordination numbers differ. In the Fe-Zn bimetallic and Fe-Zn-Ni trimetallic catalysts, the monodentate and bidentate coordination structures of Zn and the carboxylate group remain essentially unchanged (characteristic peak positions are 1621.23-1625.46 cm⁻¹, respectively). -1 1548.48-1549.23cm -1 Additionally, Fe exhibits monodentate coordination with carboxylate ions (characteristic peak positions are 1593.76-1601.92 cm⁻¹). -1 No obvious characteristic peaks indicating coordination between Ni and carboxylate groups were observed. (Comparison) Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that choosing carboxylic acids with different hydrocarbon groups has virtually no effect on the position of the coordination peak.
