Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalytic cracking catalysts, specifically to a catalytic cracking catalyst resistant to nickel and vanadium contamination and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the increasing depletion of oil resources, many refineries have begun to process inferior and heavier feedstocks in their catalytic cracking units for economic reasons. These heavy feedstocks often contain metals such as nickel, vanadium, iron, sodium, and calcium. These metals often deposit on the catalytic cracking catalyst, causing irreparable damage to the catalyst and thus affecting the operation of the entire catalytic cracking process.

[0003] Among these metals, nickel, vanadium, and iron have the greatest impact on catalysts. Vanadium forms vanadate under high-temperature steam, which leads to dealumination of the molecular sieve in the catalyst and a decrease in catalyst activity. Nickel's toxicity manifests as a strong catalytic dehydrogenation effect, which reduces the selectivity of catalytic cracking reactions and increases the yield of hydrogen and catalytic coke (coke generated by catalytic cracking reactions at acidic centers). Simultaneously, the presence of nickel exacerbates the destructive effect of vanadium on the molecular sieve. The presence of iron mainly manifests as the formation of a eutectic with low-melting-point components, forming iron nodules on the catalyst surface and blocking the catalyst's pores.

[0004] To reduce the poisoning effect of these metals on catalysts, the most common method is to add passivating agents to catalytic cracking units. Passivating agents are mainly compounds of antimony, bismuth, tin, rare earth elements, boron, etc., dispersed in a solvent and added to the feedstock. In the reactor, these metal compounds can react with nickel and vanadium to form relatively stable compounds, reducing the poisoning effect of nickel and vanadium on the catalyst. However, antimony-based, bismuth-based, and tin-based nickel passivating agents are highly toxic and cause significant environmental pollution, thus limiting their application.

[0005] The preparation technology of catalytic cracking catalysts resistant to heavy metal pollution involves modifying the physicochemical properties of the catalyst matrix, such as specific surface area, pore volume, and chemical composition, through various modification methods. Since heavy metals initially deposit on the surface of the catalyst matrix during catalytic cracking, this technology effectively captures them, protecting the active components of the molecular sieve. Currently, different preparation technologies for catalytic cracking catalysts resistant to heavy metal pollution have been developed and have become a research hotspot in the field of catalytic cracking. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a catalytic cracking catalyst resistant to nickel and vanadium contamination and its preparation method.

[0007] This invention prepares a boron-phosphorus-aluminum rare earth composition, which is added as an additive to a catalytic cracking catalyst to prepare a catalytic cracking catalyst resistant to nickel and vanadium metal contamination. The composition is a mixture of AlPO4 and B, P, Al, and rare earth elements. The presence of B effectively inhibits nickel metal contamination; the presence of rare earth elements effectively traps V, fixing V in the composition and preventing its migration to the molecular sieve components, thus greatly reducing the destructive effect of V on the molecular sieve; AlPO4 effectively inhibits the dealumination of the molecular sieve, counteracting the poisoning effects of B and V on the catalyst.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0124] The composition of the raw materials corresponding to each component of catalysts S1-S6 and D1-D8 is shown in Table 3 below, the activity data is shown in Table 4 below, and the ACE evaluation results of the contaminated samples (contaminated with 12000ppm nickel) are shown in Table 5.

[0125] As shown in Table 4, catalysts S1-S6 in the examples still exhibited relatively high activity after aging in water vapor at 800℃ for 17 hours. The activity of catalysts D2, D4, D6, and D8 decreased significantly, indicating that the method of adding boron (B) affects the structure of the molecular sieve. The presence of AlPO4 in the boron-phosphorus-aluminum composition of the present invention can effectively inhibit the dealumination of the molecular sieve, offsetting the poisoning effect of B on the catalyst. Simultaneously, during the preparation of the boron-phosphorus-aluminum rare earth composition, a mesoporous structure is formed through calcination, and boron is fixed in the pores of the composition. During catalyst preparation, it is difficult for boron to migrate to the surface of the molecular sieve and disrupt its framework structure, thus enabling catalysts S1-S6 to maintain relatively high activity stability after aging in water vapor at 800℃ for 17 hours. In D2, boric acid was used instead of the boron-phosphorus-aluminum rare earth composition; in D4, uncalcined comparative composition 1 was used instead of the boron-phosphorus-aluminum rare earth composition; in D6, phosphorus-free comparative composition 3 was used instead of the boron-phosphorus-aluminum rare earth composition; and in D8, boric acid and phosphoric acid were used instead of the boron-phosphorus-aluminum composition. All of these methods resulted in a significant decrease in activity.

[0126] As shown in Table 5, after being contaminated with 10,000 ppm nickel and 5,000 ppm vanadium, catalysts S1-S6 showed higher conversion rates and relatively lower H2 / CH4 ratios compared to the comparative catalysts D1 and D3, indicating that the addition of the composition in the examples helped resist nickel. Compared to catalyst D2, the catalyst samples in the examples showed relatively higher conversion rates and relatively lower H2 / CH4 ratios, indicating that the addition of boron in the composition as described in the examples had a better nickel resistance effect. Compared to catalyst D5, the conversion rates of the examples were higher, indicating that the addition of rare earth elements as described in the examples had a better vanadium resistance effect. Compared to catalyst D4, the conversion rates of the catalyst samples in the examples were relatively higher, indicating that the calcined composition had a better metal resistance effect. Compared to D6, D7, and D8, examples S1-S6 showed relatively higher conversion rates, indicating that the phosphorus-boron-aluminum rare earth composition, when added as described in the examples, simultaneously had both vanadium and nickel resistance effects.
