Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalyst preparation, specifically relating to a hydrodesulfurization catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the trend of crude oil resources becoming heavier and of lower quality has become evident, posing a severe challenge to processing low-quality crude oil. Most of the sulfur in crude oil exists in the form of sulfides (30wt%–40wt%) and thiophenes (60wt%–70wt%) in residual oil, mainly distributed in aromatics, gums, and asphaltenes. Hydrodesulfurization technology can react organic sulfur compounds in oil with hydrogen to convert them into easily removed hydrogen sulfide, thus achieving deep desulfurization. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations and higher market demands for product quality in recent years, residual oil hydrodesulfurization technology needs further improvement.

[0003] CN1458236A discloses a method for preparing a catalyst for the hydrodemetallization and desulfurization of heavy oil. This method uses two different forms of aluminum-containing materials: calcined alumina and aluminum hydroxide dry powder. Alkali metals and / or alkaline earth metals are used as additives. Part of the additive is premixed with the aluminum hydroxide dry powder, and the other part is loaded onto the catalyst via impregnation, resulting in a non-uniform distribution of the additive on the catalyst. The catalyst obtained by this method has an average pore size of 15–19 nm, which is still too small for asphaltene micelles, hindering the hydrodesulfurization and hydrodemetallization reactions of residual oil. Its activity and stability need further improvement.
