Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst regeneration and relates to a regeneration method for a deactivated hydrogenation catalyst. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogenation catalysts are crucial for producing clean fuel oil and other chemical feedstocks. During the hydrogenation process, catalysts can become deactivated due to a variety of factors, primarily carbon deposition and metallic impurity deposition. Simply landfilling deactivated catalysts not only pollutes the environment but also wastes resources. Therefore, the regeneration of deactivated hydrogenation catalysts has attracted considerable attention.

[0003] CN114130409A provides a method for regenerating a hydrogenation catalyst. The method comprises: (1) mixing deactivated hydrogenation catalysts A1 and A2, immersing the mixture in a solvent, and ultrasonically treating the mixture to obtain a mixture of catalyst B and black powder; (2) recovering catalyst B and filtering the mixture of the black powder to obtain powder C; (3) grinding catalyst B into powder, sieving to obtain catalyst powder D, and then forming, drying, and calcining to obtain a regenerated carrier; (4) dissolving powder C in diesel, impregnating the regenerated carrier, and drying to obtain a regenerated hydrogenation catalyst.

[0004] CN109926105A provides a method for regenerating a hydrogenation catalyst, which comprises the following steps: (1) contacting the hydrogenation catalyst to be regenerated with an oxygen-containing gas for charring to obtain catalyst A; (2) contacting catalyst A with an organic compound solution and performing a heat treatment to obtain catalyst B; and (3) introducing hydrazine hydrate into catalyst B, followed by a heat treatment to obtain a regenerated catalyst.

[0005] The catalyst regeneration method involved in the above patent is for conventional catalysts that have been deactivated due to carbon deposition, transition metal deposition, and the like. This deactivation can often be adjusted during the reaction process by increasing the reaction temperature. Generally, when the reaction cycle is about to end and cannot be adjusted by increasing the reaction temperature, it is necessary to use the regeneration method in the prior art to regenerate the catalyst. In actual operation, there is also a phenomenon of sudden deactivation of the catalyst during the normal operation cycle due to improper operating conditions and fluctuations in the reaction raw materials. Regarding how to regenerate this abnormally deactivated hydrogenation catalyst and whether it can be regenerated, the prior art does not provide relevant solutions. It is necessary to make a specific analysis of the cause of deactivation and provide relevant solutions. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The inventors encountered abnormal deactivation of hydrogenation catalysts during the operation of industrial equipment. Shortly after the hydroprocessing catalyst was put into operation, it showed severe deactivation. Even with the temperature increase, the activity of the catalyst could not be restored, forcing the refinery to shut down. Through in-depth research, the inventors found that the cause of catalyst deactivation was not carbon deposits and transition metal deposition, but a significant increase in the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal content in the catalyst. This was caused by improper raw material control during the industrial production process, resulting in the inclusion of not only alkali metal impurities but also alkaline earth metal impurities in the raw materials. Further research found that alkali metal / alkaline earth metal impurities would occupy acidic sites on the catalyst surface, causing the hydrogenation catalyst to deactivate rapidly.

[0007] Based on the above research results, the present invention proposes a method for regenerating a deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, which can effectively remove alkali metal impurities and alkaline earth metal impurities adsorbed on the acidic sites on the catalyst surface, thereby restoring the catalyst activity.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0028] 1. In the regeneration method of a deactivated hydrogenation catalyst of the present invention, a solution of an organic phosphide A containing ester groups and / or aromatic groups is first used to impregnate the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, followed by drying and high-temperature calcination. During this process, the active metal components will complex with the organic phosphide A to form heteropolyacid salts (such as phosphomolybdic heteropolyacid salts and phosphotungstate heteropolyacid salts), reducing the concentration of the oxidized active metal components on the catalyst surface, thereby inhibiting excessive aggregation of the oxidized active metal components during the high-temperature calcination process. At the same time, during the high-temperature calcination process, alkali metal impurities and alkaline earth metal impurities will react with Group VIB metal components (such as molybdenum and / or tungsten) to form metal molybdates (such as sodium molybdate and / or sodium tungstate). Then, the catalyst is soaked or rinsed with an ionic liquid solution containing amino / aminophosphoric acid compounds, which can remove the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal occupying the acidic sites of the catalyst and restore the catalyst activity.

[0029] 2. In the regeneration method of the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst of the present invention, an organic solvent is used in the organic solution containing the organic phosphide A. The organic solvent has better wettability for the carbon-containing catalyst, thereby promoting uniform impregnation of the organic phosphide. Furthermore, the organic solution containing the organic phosphide A is introduced by a supersaturated impregnation method, which further facilitates uniform impregnation of the organic phosphide A. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following examples further illustrate the scheme and effects of the present invention, but do not constitute a limitation of the present invention.

[0031] In the present invention, the saturated water absorption capacity test method is as follows: First, the sample to be tested is dried at 120°C for 24 hours. The test substance is then weighed and its initial weight is recorded. The sample is then immersed in water and allowed to fully absorb water until it no longer absorbs water. Finally, the sample is removed, its surface moisture is wiped dry, and its saturated weight is recorded. The saturated water absorption capacity of the substance can be obtained by calculating the difference between the initial weight and the saturated weight and dividing it by the density of water.

[0032] In the present invention, in the supersaturated impregnation process, the supersaturation degree is the amount (volume) of the impregnation liquid / the saturated water absorption amount (volume)*100%.

[0033] In the present invention, the relative desulfurization activity is based on the fresh agent, and the desulfurization activity of the fresh agent is set to 100%. The relative desulfurization activity is calculated according to the following formula:

[0034] Relative desulfurization activity = [1 / (S p ) 0.65 ~1 / (S f ) 0.65 ] / [1 / (S pr ) 0.65 ~1 / (S f ) 0.65]*100%

[0035] Where: S f is the sulfur content of the raw oil (percentage); S pr S is the sulfur content of the oil generated by hydrogenation of the reference agent; p It is the sulfur content of the oil produced by hydrogenation of fresh catalyst.

[0036] The deactivated hydrogenation catalyst used in the Examples and Comparative Examples of the present invention is a commercially available FHUDS-10 hydrogenation catalyst obtained from a refinery. The deactivated hydrogenation catalyst has a sulfur content of 10.5 wt% and a carbon content of 7.7 wt%. Based on the weight of the catalyst after sulfur and carbon removal, the catalyst has an alkali metal content (calculated as oxides) of 1.4 wt%, an alkaline earth metal content (calculated as oxides) of 1.2 wt%, a Group VIB metal Mo content (calculated as oxides) of 23.5 wt%, and a Group VIII metal Co content (calculated as oxides) of 3.5 wt%.

[0037] In the present invention, the saturated water absorption capacity of the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst is 30 mL of water / 100 g of catalyst.

[0038] In the present invention, the vacuum degree of vacuum drying is 3*10 ~3 Pa.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Take 122.2g of the above-mentioned deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, dilute 15.5g of trimethyl phosphate with ethanol to 55.0mL, and supersaturate impregnate the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, wherein the supersaturation is 1.5. After vacuum drying at 100℃ for 3h, place it in an air atmosphere and roast it at 600℃ for 2h, and let it cool to room temperature. Soak the deactivated catalyst in 500mL of aminotrimethylphosphonic acid / 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid solution (aminotrimethylphosphonic acid mass concentration is 1.5%) at 50℃ for 30min. After filtering, rinse three times with 300mL of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid. The alkali metal impurity content on the obtained catalyst is 0.05wt% and the alkaline earth metal impurity content is 0.04wt%. After drying at 120°C for 3 hours, the catalyst's Mo content (calculated as MoO3) was measured to be 22.0 wt% and its water absorption rate was 50 mL / 100 g. The catalyst was then saturated with an aqueous solution containing 3 g / 100 mL of molybdenum (calculated as molybdenum oxide) and dried at 110°C for 3 hours to obtain regenerated hydrogenation catalyst R~1.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Take 122.2g of the above-mentioned deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, dilute 23.2g of dibutyl phosphite with ethanol to 91.7mL, and supersaturate impregnate the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst with a supersaturation degree of 2.5. After vacuum drying at 100℃ for 3h, place it in an air atmosphere and roast it at 500℃ for 3h, and let it cool to room temperature. Soak the deactivated catalyst in 600mL of aminoethyl phosphoric acid / 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid solution (aminoethyl phosphoric acid mass concentration is 1.0%) at 65℃ for 20min. After filtering, rinse it three times with 400mL of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid. The resulting catalyst has an alkali metal impurity content of 0.04wt% and an alkaline earth metal impurity content of 0.04wt%. After drying at 120℃ for 3h, the catalyst Mo content (as MoO3) is measured to be 22.3wt%, and the water absorption rate is 50mL / 100g. Then, the catalyst was saturated with an aqueous solution having a molybdenum content (calculated as molybdenum oxide) of 2.4 g / 100 mL and dried at 110° C. for 3 h to obtain the regenerated hydrogenation catalyst R-2.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] 122.2g of the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst was taken, and 7.7g of triethyl phosphate was diluted with ethanol to 51.3mL. The catalyst was then supersaturated and impregnated onto the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, with a supersaturation of 1.4. After vacuum drying at 120°C for 2h, the catalyst was calcined at 700°C in air for 2h and allowed to cool to room temperature. The deactivated catalyst was then soaked in 700mL of a 0.6% aminomethylene diphosphoric acid / N-ethylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid solution at 65°C for 20min. After filtration, the catalyst was rinsed four times with 300mL of N-ethylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid. The resulting catalyst had an alkali metal impurity content of 0.04wt% and an alkaline earth metal impurity content of 0.03wt%. After drying at 120°C for 2h, the catalyst Mo content (as MoO3) was measured to be 22.5wt%, and the water absorption rate was 50mL / 100g. Then, the catalyst was saturated with an aqueous solution having a molybdenum content (calculated as molybdenum oxide) of 2.0 g / 100 mL and dried at 110° C. for 3 h to obtain the regenerated hydrogenation catalyst R-3.

[0045] Example 4

[0046] Take 122.2g of the above-mentioned deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, dilute 15.5g of trimethyl phosphate with ethanol to 55.0mL, and supersaturate impregnate the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, wherein the supersaturation is 1.5. After vacuum drying at 100℃ for 3h, place it in an air atmosphere and roast it at 600℃ for 2h, and let it cool to room temperature. Soak the deactivated catalyst in 500mL of aminotrimethylphosphonic acid / 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid solution (aminotrimethylphosphonic acid mass concentration is 1.5%), the soaking solution temperature is 50℃, and the soaking time is 30min. After filtering, rinse with 300mL of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid three times. The alkali metal impurity content of the obtained catalyst is 0.05wt% and the alkaline earth metal impurity content is 0.04wt%. After drying at 120℃ for 3h, regenerated hydrogenation catalyst R-4 is obtained.

[0047] Comparative Example 1

[0048] Compared with Example 1, difference is: deactivated hydrogenation catalyst does not use organophosphide A / organic solution to impregnate, and does not need drying yet, and the second is to directly carry out roasting treatment. Take 122.2g above-mentioned deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, place 600 ℃ of roastings 2h in air atmosphere, leave standstill to cool to room temperature. 500mL aminotrimethylphosphonic acid / 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid solution (aminotrimethylphosphonic acid mass concentration is 1.5%) is soaked this deactivated catalyst, temperature is 50 ℃, soaking time length is 30min. After filtration, rinse 3 times with 300mL of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid, the alkali metal impurity content on the catalyst obtained is 0.05wt%, and alkaline earth metal impurity content is 0.04wt%. After 120 ℃ of dryings 3h, recording catalyst Mo content (as MoO 3 ) is 16.7wt%, and water absorption is 50mL / 100g. Then, the catalyst was saturated with an aqueous solution having a molybdenum content (calculated as molybdenum oxide) of 13.6 g / 100 mL and dried at 110° C. for 3 h to obtain a regenerated hydrogenation catalyst D~1.

[0049] Comparative Example 2

[0050] Compared with Example 1, the difference is that only ionic liquid is used during soaking, and ammonia / amino organic phosphide is not used. Take 122.2g of the above-mentioned deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, dilute 15.5g of trimethyl phosphate with ethanol to 55.0mL, and supersaturate and impregnate on the deactivated hydrogenation catalyst, wherein the supersaturation is 1.5. After being vacuum-dried at 100℃ for 3h, it is placed in an air atmosphere and roasted at 600℃ for 2h, and left to cool to room temperature. The deactivated catalyst is soaked in 500mL of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid solution, the temperature is 50℃, and the soaking time is 30min. After filtering, it is rinsed 3 times with 300mL of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid. The alkali metal impurity content on the obtained catalyst is 0.33wt%, and the alkaline earth metal impurity content is 0.72wt%. After drying at 120°C for 3 h, the catalyst's Mo content (calculated as MoO3) was measured to be 22.0 wt% and its water absorption was 50 mL / 100 g. The catalyst was then saturated with an aqueous solution containing 3 g / 100 mL of molybdenum (calculated as molybdenum oxide) and dried at 110°C for 3 h to obtain regenerated hydrogenation catalyst D-2.

[0051] Example 5

[0052] The catalysts obtained in the examples and comparative examples were subjected to activity evaluation tests in a 10 mL reaction apparatus. The feedstock oil was a conventional three-line diesel oil with a sulfur content of 1.9 wt%, a nitrogen content of 290 ng / μL, and a final boiling point of 367°C. Before the reaction began, the catalyst needed to be pre-sulfurized. The sulfurizing agent was a conventional straight-run diesel oil with 1.5 v% DMDS added. The sulfurization operating conditions were: a sulfurization pressure of 6.4 MPa, a liquid hourly volume space velocity of 1.5 h ~1 The volume ratio of hydrogen to oil was 400:1. The catalyst in the reactor was completely wetted at 140°C. The temperature was then raised to 320°C at a rate of 1°C / min and held constant for 10 hours to complete the sulfidation. The reaction operating conditions were as follows: reaction pressure 6.0 MPa, reaction temperature 365°C, liquid hourly space velocity 1.5 h ~1 The hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio was 400:1. After 24 hours of initial activity stabilization, the product properties were analyzed. The catalyst desulfurization activities are listed in Table 1.
