Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst regeneration, and relates to a regeneration method for a hydrogenation catalyst, in particular to a regeneration method for an abnormally deactivated hydrogenation catalyst. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogenation catalysts are crucial for the production of clean fuel oils and other chemical raw materials. During the hydrogenation process, catalysts may be deactivated due to various reasons, mainly including carbon deposition deactivation and metal impurity deposition deactivation. If deactivated catalysts are simply landfilled, it will not only pollute the environment but also waste resources. Therefore, the regeneration treatment of deactivated hydrogenation catalysts has attracted people's attention.

[0003] CN202111272120.3 discloses a method for recycling and reusing waste hydrogenation catalysts. The method includes the following steps: (1) roasting the waste hydrogenation catalyst in an oxygen-containing atmosphere; mixing the roasted product with an acid solution and heating under reflux; (2) adjusting the pH value of the reflux product obtained in step (1) to 3.5 - 4.5 using an organic amine and performing solid-liquid separation; the boiling point of the organic amine under normal pressure is greater than or equal to 100 °C; (3) using the liquid product filtered in step (2) as an impregnating solution to impregnate a carrier, and obtaining a regenerated hydrogenation catalyst through heat treatment.

[0004] CN201911361889.5 discloses a heavy oil hydrogenation treatment method. The heavy oil raw material contacts with hydrogen in a hydrogenation treatment reactor to complete the hydrogenation treatment process. The hydrogenation treatment reactor is filled with a regenerated agent obtained by regenerating a deactivated hydrogenation treatment catalyst. The regeneration process of the regenerated agent is as follows: carbon burning and desulfurization are performed on the deactivated hydrogenation treatment catalyst, then it is impregnated with an acidic solution containing a complexing agent, and then impregnated with an alkali solution and treated in an ammonia-containing atmosphere to effectively remove metal impurities such as nickel, vanadium, and iron.

[0005] The catalyst regeneration methods involved in the above patents are for catalysts deactivated due to conventional reasons such as carbon deposition and transition metal deposition. This kind of deactivation can often be adjusted by increasing the reaction temperature during the reaction process. Generally, when the reaction cycle is about to end and the reaction temperature can no longer be adjusted, the regeneration method in the prior art needs to be used to regenerate the catalyst. During the actual operation process, there is also a phenomenon of sudden deactivation of the catalyst that occurs within the normal operation cycle due to improper operating conditions and fluctuations in reaction raw materials. Regarding how to regenerate and whether it can be regenerated for this abnormally deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, the prior art does not give relevant solutions, and specific analysis needs to be made based on the deactivation reasons to provide relevant solutions. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The inventor once encountered a situation where a hydrogenation catalyst was deactivated abnormally. After the hydrotreating catalyst had been in operation for a short time, serious deactivation occurred. Even by increasing the temperature, the activity of the catalyst could not be restored, and the refining enterprise was forced to shut down for treatment. Through in-depth research, the inventor found that the cause of the catalyst deactivation was not carbon deposition and the deposition of transition metals. The main factor leading to the deactivation was the substantial increase in the content of alkali metals in the deactivated catalyst, which was caused by improper control of the raw materials during the industrial production process. Further research found that the reason for the rapid deactivation of the hydrogenation catalyst by alkali metal impurities was that the alkali metal impurities occupied the acidic sites on the catalyst surface.

[0007] Based on the above research results, the present invention proposes a regeneration method for a hydrogenation catalyst, mainly aiming at the deactivation of the hydrotreating catalyst caused by unconventional alkali metal deposition. The regeneration method can effectively remove the alkali metal impurities contained in the catalyst and restore the activity of the catalyst.

[0008] The first aspect of the present invention provides a regeneration method for a hydrogenation catalyst, including the following content: (1) Impregnating the alkali metal poisoned hydrogenation catalyst with an organophosphide solution, and then performing a drying (preferably vacuum drying) treatment; (2) Performing a high-temperature calcination treatment on the catalyst obtained in step (1); (3) Washing and drying the catalyst obtained in step (2) with a buffer solution to obtain a regenerated hydrogenation catalyst.

[0009] In the method of the present invention, the alkali metal poisoned hydrogenation catalyst in step (1) refers to a catalyst that is partially deactivated or fails to meet the reaction requirements due to the deposition of alkali metals during the hydrogenation process.

[0020] In the method of the present invention, the specific operation process of the washing in step (3) is as follows: spray the catalyst obtained in step (2) with the buffer solution, and repeat the above steps 1 - 10 times according to the difference in alkali metal content until the alkali metal content is lower than 0.1 wt%; wherein, the volume of the buffer solution used each time is 120% - 1000% of the saturated water absorption volume of the catalyst obtained in step (2).

[0023] The second aspect of the present invention provides a regenerated hydrogenation catalyst obtained by the above method.

[0024] The third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the above regenerated hydrogenation catalyst in the hydrotreating reaction of distillate oil.

[0025] In the above application, the regenerated hydrogenation catalyst needs to be pre-sulfurized before the hydrotreating reaction of distillate oil. The pre-sulfurization technology can adopt methods well-known in the art, generally any one of dry sulfidation and wet sulfidation; specifically in the present invention, wet sulfidation can be adopted, and the specific operating conditions are as follows: sulfidation pressure 0.1 - 20 MPa, sulfidation temperature 230 - 550 °C, liquid hourly space velocity 0.5 - 10.0 h -1 , and the hydrogen-oil volume ratio is 50 - 2000:1.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention analyzes the phenomenon of abnormal deactivation of the hydrotreating catalyst caused by the deposition of alkali metals, and creatively proposes a regeneration method for the alkali metal-poisoned hydrotreating catalyst. In the method of the present invention, the alkali metal-poisoned hydrotreating catalyst is first impregnated with an organophosphide solution. During the subsequent high-temperature calcination process, the active metal components will complex with the organophosphide to form heteropolyacid salts (such as phosphomolybdic heteropolyacid salt, phosphotungstic heteropolyacid salt), reducing the concentration of the oxidized active metal components on the catalyst surface, thereby inhibiting the excessive aggregation of the oxidized active metal components during the high-temperature calcination process. Moreover, the synergistic effect of the impregnation with the organophosphide solution and the high-temperature calcination can solidify the active components, effectively reducing the loss of the active metal components during the process of washing and separating the alkali metals in the catalyst with the buffer solution. At the same time, during the high-temperature calcination process, the alkali metal impurities form water-soluble metal molybdates (such as sodium molybdate and / or sodium tungstate) with the Group VIB metal components (such as molybdenum and / or tungsten), and then are washed with a buffer solution to remove the alkali metals occupying the acidic sites of the catalyst and restore the activity of the catalyst.

[0029] 2. In the present invention, the organophosphide solution uses an organic solvent, and the organic solvent has better wetting performance for the carbon-containing catalyst, thus promoting the uniform impregnation of the organophosphide. Further, the supersaturated impregnation method is used to introduce the organophosphide solution, which is more conducive to the uniform impregnation of the organophosphide. Embodiment

[0030] The following further illustrates the solutions and effects of the present invention through examples, but does not constitute a limitation to the present invention.
