Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Most supported catalysts are prepared by impregnation, such as various hydrogenation catalysts. When preparing hydrogenation catalysts by impregnation, the catalyst activity is closely related to the dispersion of the active metal (such as Mo) on the surface and its interaction with the support (such as alumina support). Improving the dispersion of the active metal on the support surface while weakening the strong metal-support interaction is key to preparing highly active hydrogenation catalysts.

[0003] CN106669786A discloses a catalytic diesel hydrocracking catalyst and its preparation method. The main method involves preparing a catalyst support by mixing modified molecular sieves, amorphous silica-alumina and / or alumina, then impregnating or adsorbing unsaturated olefins onto the support, reacting and carbonizing under an inert atmosphere, and then removing some of the carbon deposits by calcination to obtain a carbon-containing support. After loading the active metal, the catalyst is dried to obtain the catalyst.

[0004] CN 101940930A discloses a method for preparing a hydrogenation catalyst. The method mainly involves impregnating a carbon-containing precursor with a catalyst precursor, mixing organic matter, soluble silicone oil, and additives, and then introducing the mixture into a support, followed by heat treatment to obtain a carbon-modified alumina support.

[0005] CN101940929A discloses a method for preparing a hydrogenation catalyst. This method involves introducing a carbon precursor into the catalyst in one step by adding it to a metal impregnation solution. By controlling the heating rate of the carbonization roasting process, excessive volatilization of organic matter is avoided, thereby achieving coking in the catalyst.

[0006] The above preparation methods all involve introducing carbon-containing organic matter onto a support or catalyst and then carrying out a carbonization process to cover the acid centers, but they do not achieve a reasonable distribution of carbon, active components, and acidic sites. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a hydrogenation catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. The hydrogenation catalyst prepared by the method of this invention exhibits significantly improved desulfurization and denitrification activities.

[0008] The first aspect of this invention provides a method for preparing a hydrogenation catalyst, comprising:

[0009] An alumina-based support is supersaturated and impregnated in an impregnation solution containing dopamine, a protective agent, and a hydrogenation active metal. The pH value of the system is adjusted to allow dopamine to self-polymerize on the surface of the alumina-based support pores. After washing, drying, pre-coking, and calcination, a hydrogenation-treated catalyst is obtained.

[0010] In the method of this invention, the alumina-based carrier can be a commercially available product or prepared using conventional methods. The preparation method of the alumina-based carrier can include: mixing aluminum hydroxide dry adhesive powder, molding, and then drying and calcining to obtain the alumina-based carrier. During the mixing process, conventional molding aids such as extrusion aids, binders, and solvents can be added as needed. The alumina-based carrier may contain auxiliary components, such as at least one of silicon, phosphorus, titanium, zirconium, and magnesium, with the auxiliary component's mass content in the carrier being less than 15%.

[0011] In the method of this invention, the alumina-based support has a pore volume of 0.3–1.5 mL / g and a specific surface area of ​​150–450 m². 2 / g.

[0012] In the method of this invention, the shape of the alumina-based carrier can be spherical, strip-shaped (cylindrical, butterfly-shaped, clover-shaped, or four-leaf clover-shaped strip), etc. The shape of the carrier can be selected according to specific needs.

[0013] In the method of the present invention, the amount of dopamine added to the impregnation solution is 2 wt% to 40 wt%, preferably 4 wt% to 24 wt%, based on the mass of the alumina-based carrier.

[0021] In the method of the present invention, the reagent for adjusting the pH value of the system is selected from one or more of ethylenediamine, ammonium carbonate, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, and Tris buffer.

[0022] In the method of this invention, adjusting the pH value of the system involves immersing the carrier in the impregnation solution, shaking for 5-10 minutes, adding a pH adjusting reagent, and continuing shaking until the pH value of the system reaches 8-10. After adding the pH adjusting reagent, the pH value of the system is at least 0.5 higher than before adding the pH adjusting reagent.

[0023] In the method of the present invention, the drying process is to impregnate the carrier with the impregnation liquid and then dry it under conditions not exceeding the decomposition temperature of the generated polydopamine.

[0027] A second aspect of the present invention provides a hydrogenation catalyst prepared by the above method.

[0028] The third aspect of this invention provides the application of the hydrotreating catalyst prepared by the above method in the hydrotreating of heavy distillate oil.

[0031] Furthermore, the purpose of the hydrogenation treatment is to perform hydrodesulfurization and / or hydrodenitrification.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0033] This invention first modifies the surface of an alumina-based support with dopamine and a protective agent. By subsequently adjusting the solution pH, dopamine is induced to self-polymerize on the support surface into polydopamine, effectively blocking the direct interaction between the hydrogenated active metal and the support. This forms a "network" structure on the support surface, facilitating efficient dispersion and anchoring of the active component, thus effectively "anchoring" the hydrogenated active metal and preventing its flow and aggregation. The protective agent introduced simultaneously with dopamine can cover some acidic sites before dopamine polymerization, preventing the covering of active sites during metal "anchoring". The center also helps to prevent excessive polymerization of dopamine, ensuring the permeability of the catalyst channels. The use of inert gas pre-coating allows partial coking of polydopamine and anchoring of the hydrogenation active metal components, effectively preventing the aggregation of active components. After high-temperature calcination, the protective agent deposited at the medium-strong acid sites, the remaining polydopamine, and some of the coking are burned off. This not only effectively disperses the hydrogenation active metal but also retains the medium-strong acid on the catalyst surface, achieving an effective match between the acid centers and the hydrogenation centers, which is beneficial to improving the hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrification activities of the catalyst.
