Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a bio-jet fuel preparation technology, and in particular to a method for producing jet fuel that meets the ASTM D7566 standard by using artemisinin extraction waste as raw materials. Background Art
[0002] The aviation industry's demand for low-carbon fuels has surged, and biofuels have become a key alternative to fossil fuels. Existing technologies primarily use animal and plant oils and fats (e.g., patent CN2023112472163), which present problems such as limited raw materials, high costs, and competition with grain production for land. The artemisinin production process generates a large amount of waste, which has a complex composition (including plant wax, artemisinin essential oil, and more than 50 heterocyclic compounds), presenting three major processing challenges:
[0003] Impurity removal is difficult: nitrogen-containing heterocycles (such as indole), oxygen heterocycles (such as furan) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons interact with each other, causing conventional catalysts to be poisoned and deactivated; diffusion limitation is large: C 20 -C 30 Long-chain waxes block the pores of the catalyst; there are many side reactions: condensation and coking are easy at high temperatures, reducing product yields.
[0004] After searching, the existing public documents and patents (such as CN2023112472163, etc.) all use animal and plant oils as raw materials to prepare bio-jet fuel, and do not involve the application of artemisinin waste. Artemisinin waste contains more than 50 kinds of heterocyclic compounds (such as indole, furan) and C 20 -C 30 The composition complexity of long-chain waxes far exceeds that of animal and plant oils and fats, which causes conventional catalysts to face problems such as heterocyclic compound poisoning and pore blockage. Currently, there is no effective technical solution to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the problem of high-value utilization of artemisinin waste, the present invention provides a method for producing aviation fuel using artemisinin waste. In view of the characteristics of its complex composition and high impurities, efficient conversion is achieved through the synergistic effect of step-by-step hydrogenation and special catalysts.
[0006] The technical solution is as follows:
[0007] A method for producing aviation fuel using artemisinin waste comprises the following steps:
[0008] (1) Pretreatment: crushing artemisinin waste to a particle size of ≤1 mm and drying to a moisture content of ≤0.5 wt% to obtain a pretreated material;
[0009] (2) Primary hydrogenation: The pretreated material is treated under the conditions of a first hydrogenation temperature of 360-400°C, a first hydrogenation pressure of 9-12 MPa, a first mass space velocity of 0.3-0.8 h-1, and a first hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio of 400-600:1 under the action of a nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst to obtain a primary treated material;
[0010] (3) Secondary hydrogenation: Under the action of a nickel-tungsten-based catalyst, the primary treated material is treated at a second hydrogenation temperature of 320-340°C, a second hydrogenation pressure of 3-6 MPa, a second mass space velocity of 1.0-2.0 h-1, and a second hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio of (500-800):1 to obtain a secondary treated material;
[0011] (4) Isomerization dewaxing: using a Pt and Pd loaded ZSM-48 molecular sieve catalyst, the secondary treated material is treated at 300-380°C, 2-6 MPa, a volume space velocity of 1.0-2.5 h-1, and a hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio of (300-600):1 to obtain a dewaxed material;
[0012] (5) Fractionation: Cut the dewaxed material and collect the jet fuel components with a distillation range of 150-300°C and the light components with a distillation range of 50-150°C.
[0013] The light components can be used as gasoline or diesel raw materials.
[0014] In step (1), artemisinin waste is in a gel-like state at room temperature. When it is crushed to a particle size of ≤1 mm, the specific surface area can be increased by 3-5 times, effectively shortening the drying time to 2-3 hours, while directly drying the artemisinin waste requires 5-8 hours, while reducing energy consumption by approximately 25%-30%. Controlling the drying temperature at 40-60°C can avoid the decomposition of heat-sensitive components, retain the effective carbon chain structure, and provide high-quality raw materials for subsequent hydrogenation reactions. Under these conditions, the moisture content of the material can be reduced to ≤0.5wt%, meeting the hydrogenation feed requirements.
[0015] In step (2), the primary hydrogenation treatment is designed for the highly stable CN bonds (such as indole compounds) in artemisinin waste. The first hydrogenation temperature is 360-400°C. Below 360°C, the activation energy for CN bond breakage is insufficient, and the denitrification rate drops sharply to below 80%. Above 400°C, heterocyclic condensation is initiated, forming difficult-to-remove compounds, and the denitrification rate drops to below 90%. The first hydrogenation pressure is 9-12 MPa. Below 9 MPa, the hydrogen partial pressure is insufficient, and the denitrification rate is less than 95%. Above 12 MPa, the equipment energy consumption increases by 30%, but the denitrification rate only increases by 1%-2%.
[0016] During the first-stage hydrotreating, the first hydrotreating temperature is 360-400°C, the first hydrotreating pressure is 9-12 MPa, the first mass space velocity is 0.3-0.8 h-1, and the first hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is (400-600:)1;
[0017] After the primary hydrotreating process, the feedstock undergoes extensive decontamination, achieving deoxygenation rates exceeding 95%, desulfurization rates exceeding 98%, and denitrification rates exceeding 99%, reducing nitrogen content to ≤0.5ppm and significantly reducing the risk of downstream catalyst poisoning. Coking is suppressed: The nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst has a coking rate of less than 3%, extending its service life by 2-3 times compared to traditional catalysts (coking rates exceeding 10%) and reducing plant downtime. Cost optimization: By optimizing the hydrogen-to-oil ratio and space velocity, hydrogen consumption is reduced by 15%-20%, while increasing plant processing capacity by 10%-15%.
[0018] In step (3), during the secondary hydrogenation treatment, the second hydrogenation temperature is 320-340° C., the second hydrogenation pressure is 3-6 MPa, the second mass space velocity is 1.0-2.0 h-1, and the second hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is (500-800):1;
[0019] After secondary hydrogenation, aromatics are deeply saturated, reducing their content from 30-40wt% of the feedstock to ≤15wt%, improving the smoke point and combustion performance of the bio-jet fuel, with a smoke point of ≥25mm. This application controls the second hydrogenation temperature at 320-350°C. According to the thermodynamics of aromatic hydrogenation, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons require temperatures >320°C to overcome the energy barrier, but temperatures >340°C trigger ring-opening cracking. Experiments show that at 330°C, the conversion rate of naphthalene aromatics reaches 98%, but above 350°C, cracking byproducts increase by 30%.
[0020] In the secondary hydroprocessing, low-pressure operation is adopted, which reduces the operating pressure by 40%-50% compared with the traditional process (pressure 8-10MPa), saving about 30% of compression work consumption.
[0021] In step (4), during isodewaxing, the reaction pressure is 2-6 MPa, the reaction temperature is 300-380° C., the volume space velocity is 1.0-2.5 h-1, and the third hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is (300-600):1.
[0022] The overall advantages of the above process:
[0023] Improved impurity removal efficiency: Through a two-stage hydrogenation series process, the coordinated deep removal of oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen is achieved, with total removal rates reaching 99.9%, 99.95% and 99.99% respectively, which is significantly better than the traditional single-stage process (total removal rate of about 95-98%).
[0024] Product quality upgrade: Bio-jet fuel products have an aromatic content (≤15wt%), freezing point (≤-48℃) and density (770-780kg / m 3 ) all meet or exceed the ASTM D7566-23 standard and can directly replace fossil jet fuel.
[0025] Green and environmentally friendly: Using discarded artemisinin scraps as raw materials to achieve waste resource utilization, each ton of bio-jet fuel can reduce CO2 emissions by about 3 tons (compared to fossil jet fuel).
[0026] Enhanced economic efficiency: The catalyst life is extended (nickel-molybdenum-based>1200 hours, nickel-tungsten-based>8000 hours) and energy consumption is reduced (comprehensive energy consumption is reduced by 20%-25% compared with traditional processes), reducing production costs by 15%-20%.
[0027] About the first hydrogenation temperature (360-400℃):
[0028] Adverse effects of excessively high temperatures: When the primary hydrogenation temperature is too high, cracking reactions are intensified, reducing the yield of the C12-C16 jet fuel fraction. It also increases the rate of coking, shortening the catalyst's service life. Furthermore, high temperatures may cause some nitrogen-containing heterocycles to condense, forming compounds that are more difficult to remove, ultimately reducing denitrification efficiency.
[0029] Adverse effects of too low a temperature: If the primary hydrogenation temperature is too low, the activation energy for breaking the C-N bond is difficult to achieve, resulting in a significant decrease in denitrification efficiency and failure to meet the strict nitrogen content requirement of ≤1ppm for aviation fuel. Furthermore, the hydrogen adsorption and dissociation capacity of the catalyst surface is weakened at low temperatures, which inhibits the hydrogenation reaction.
[0030] About the first hydrogenation pressure (9-12MPa):
[0031] The negative impact of excessively high hydrogenation pressure: First, while excessively high hydrogenation pressure may not significantly improve denitrification efficiency, it can significantly increase equipment investment costs and operating energy consumption. Furthermore, excessively high pressure may lead to over-saturation of olefins, reducing the calorific value of the jet fuel.
[0032] Adverse effects of low pressure: When the first hydrogenation pressure is too low, the hydrogen partial pressure is insufficient, which will lead to a decrease in the active hydrogen concentration on the catalyst surface, thereby reducing the efficiency of denitrification and desulfurization. In addition, under low pressure conditions, the catalyst is more likely to coke and deactivate.
[0033] About the first mass space velocity (0.3-0.8h-1):
[0034] A high first mass space velocity has the disadvantage of shortening the time the feedstock spends in the catalyst bed, leading to an incomplete reaction and a sharp drop in the denitrification rate. It is particularly difficult for large nitrogen-containing compounds in artemisinin waste to fully reach the catalyst's active sites.
[0035] Adverse effects of a low first mass space velocity: When the first mass space velocity is too low, the processing capacity of the device will be greatly reduced, and the energy consumption per unit product will increase. In addition, long residence time may also cause side reactions such as excessive hydrogenation and cracking.
[0036] About the first hydrogen-oil ratio (volume ratio (500-800): 1):
[0037] Adverse effects of a high hydrogen-to-oil ratio: First, an excessively high hydrogen-to-oil ratio not only increases the load on the circulating hydrogen compressor and increases energy consumption, but can also cause flooding, affecting reaction stability. Furthermore, an excessively high hydrogen-to-oil ratio can reduce the partial pressure of the feedstock, inhibiting the hydrogenation reaction to a certain extent.
[0038] Adverse effects of a low hydrogen-to-oil ratio: First, when the hydrogen-to-oil ratio is too low, the heat generated by the reaction cannot be removed in time, which can easily lead to local overheating and accelerate catalyst coking. At the same time, insufficient hydrogen concentration will also reduce the rate of the hydrogenation reaction.
[0039] About the second hydrogenation temperature (320-340℃):
[0040] Disadvantages of high temperatures: Excessively high secondary hydrogenation temperatures can cause ring-opening cracking of saturated cycloalkanes, reducing jet fuel yield. High temperatures can also exacerbate carbon deposition on the catalyst surface, shortening its lifespan.
[0041] Adverse effects of a low secondary hydrogenation temperature: If the secondary hydrogenation temperature is too low, the rate of aromatics hydrogenation saturation reaction will be significantly reduced, making it difficult to reduce the aromatics content from 42% to the target value of ≤20%. Furthermore, the catalyst's adsorption capacity for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons decreases at low temperatures, which can also affect the reaction performance.
[0042] About the second hydrogenation pressure (3-6MPa):
[0043] Disadvantages of excessively high secondary hydrogenation pressures: Excessively high secondary hydrogenation pressures have limited impact on the aromatic saturation rate, but can significantly increase equipment operating costs. Furthermore, high pressures can promote the isomerization of certain alkanes, raising the freezing point of jet fuel.
[0044] Adverse effects of low secondary hydrogenation pressure: When the secondary hydrogenation pressure is too low, the hydrogen partial pressure is insufficient to overcome the thermodynamic barriers to aromatic hydrogenation, resulting in a decrease in aromatic saturation. Furthermore, at low pressures, hydrogen coverage on the catalyst surface decreases, accelerating catalyst deactivation.
[0045] Regarding the second mass space velocity (1.0–2.0 h-1):
[0046] Disadvantages of a high second mass space velocity: When the second mass space velocity is too high, the contact time between the feedstock and the catalyst is insufficient, and the hydrogenation saturation reaction of aromatics cannot proceed fully. For components that are difficult to saturate, such as dicyclic and tricyclic aromatics, the removal effect will be even worse.
[0047] Adverse effects of a low second mass space velocity: When the second mass space velocity is too low, the processing capacity of the device will be limited, increasing production costs. In addition, a long residence time may cause the saturated aromatics to undergo dehydrogenation reactions and regenerate aromatics.
[0048] About the second hydrogen-to-oil ratio (500-800:1):
[0049] Disadvantages of a high hydrogen-to-oil ratio: A high hydrogen-to-oil ratio will increase the amount of hydrogen circulating and energy consumption. At the same time, a high hydrogen flow rate may increase the pressure drop of the catalyst bed, affecting the stability of the reaction.
[0050] Adverse effects of a low hydrogen-to-oil ratio: When the second hydrogen-to-oil ratio is too low, the hydrogen supply is insufficient to sustain the aromatics hydrogenation reaction. Furthermore, at low hydrogen-to-oil ratios, the water generated by the reaction is difficult to remove in a timely manner, which can cover the acidic sites of the catalyst and reduce catalytic activity.
[0051] The control requirements of isomerization dewaxing parameters in step (4) are as follows:
[0052] About reaction pressure (2-6MPa):
[0053] Adverse effects of high reaction pressures: While high reaction pressures can increase the rate of isomerization, they can also promote cracking, reducing jet fuel yields. Furthermore, high pressures increase equipment investment and operating costs.
[0054] Adverse effects of too low a pressure: When the reaction pressure is too low, the hydrogen partial pressure is insufficient, which will reduce the hydrogen coverage of the catalyst surface and accelerate the coking and deactivation of the catalyst. At the same time, the equilibrium conversion rate of the isomerization reaction will also decrease under low pressure.
[0055] About reaction temperature (300-380℃):
[0056] Adverse effects of high reaction temperatures: When the reaction temperature is too high, cracking reactions will dominate, significantly reducing the yield of jet fuel. High temperatures will also cause isoparaffins to dehydrogenate, producing olefins, which will affect the stability of jet fuel.
[0057] Adverse effects of too low a temperature: When the reaction temperature is too low, the isomerization reaction rate is too slow, the conversion rate of normal paraffins is insufficient, and the freezing point of the jet fuel cannot be effectively lowered. In addition, the activity of the catalyst is also inhibited at low temperatures.
[0058] About volumetric space velocity (1.0-2.5h-1):
[0059] Disadvantages of high volumetric space velocity: When the volumetric space velocity is too high, the residence time of the feedstock in the catalyst bed is too short, the isomerization reaction is incomplete, and the conversion rate of normal alkanes is reduced. For normal alkanes with high carbon numbers, the isomerization effect is even worse.
[0060] Disadvantages of a low volumetric space velocity: When the volumetric space velocity is too low, the processing capacity of the unit will be reduced, increasing production costs. In addition, long residence times may cause secondary cracking of isoparaffins, reducing the quality of the jet fuel.
[0061] Regarding the third hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio ((300–600):1):
[0062] Disadvantages of a high hydrogen-to-oil ratio: A high hydrogen-to-oil ratio will increase hydrogen consumption and circulation costs. At the same time, a high hydrogen flow rate may lead to increased wear of the catalyst bed.
[0063] Adverse effects of a low ratio: When the third hydrogen-to-oil ratio is too low, the hydrogen supply is insufficient to dissipate the heat generated by the reaction, which can easily lead to local overheating and accelerate catalyst deactivation. Furthermore, under low hydrogen-to-oil ratio conditions, the rate of carbon deposition on the catalyst surface is also accelerated.
[0064] Specifically, the nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst is an MCM-36 molecular sieve loaded with nickel and molybdenum. The preparation method of the nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst comprises the following steps:
[0065] In step (2), the nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst is Ni-Mo / MCM-36 molecular sieve, with the mass of MCM-36 molecular sieve as the benchmark, the Ni loading is 3.0-3.5wt%, the mass ratio of Ni to Mo is (0.3-0.4):1, and the P content is ≤5wt%;
[0066] The MCM-36 molecular sieve is prepared by the following steps:
[0067] (2.1) Dispersing the precursor in a surfactant aqueous solution, stirring at 80-90°C for 40-60 hours, washing, and drying to obtain MCM-36(P); the precursor is MCM-22(P) or MCM-49(P); the molar ratio of the surfactant to the Si element in the precursor is 0.30-0.40:1; the surfactant is CTAB or DTAB; the mass concentration of the surfactant aqueous solution is 8-15 wt %, and the pH value of the surfactant aqueous solution is 9-10;
[0068] (2.2) MCM-36(P) was calcined at 480-550℃ at a rate of 0.6-1.5℃ / min for 5-8h to obtain a specific surface area ≥280m 2 / g, MCM-36 molecular sieve with a mesopore size of 2-10 nm;
[0069] (2.3) Ni and Mo loading.
[0070] In step (2.1), during drying, the drying temperature is controlled at 40-50° C. and the drying time is 15-20 h.
[0071] Specifically, the loading method of Ni and Mo in step (2.3) is as follows:
[0072] Mo loading: using ammonium heptamolybdate ((NH4)6Mo7O containing 8-16wt% Mo 24 )-phosphoric acid aqueous solution was impregnated with MCM-36 molecular sieve in equal volumes, dried, and calcined at 400-450℃ in nitrogen atmosphere for 3-5h; ammonium heptamolybdate ((NH4)6Mo7O 24 )-phosphoric acid aqueous solution, the mass ratio of Mo:P is 1:(0.25-0.4);
[0073] Ni loading: Mo / MCM-36 was impregnated with an equal volume of nickel nitrate-citric acid aqueous solution containing 4-7 wt% Ni, dried, and calcined in air at 330-400°C for 3-5 hours; the mass ratio of Ni to citric acid in the nickel nitrate-citric acid aqueous solution was 1:(1.3-1.6).
[0074] When Mo is loaded, after equal volume impregnation, the drying temperature is 100-120°C and the drying time is 6-10h.
[0075] When Ni is loaded, after equal volume impregnation, the drying temperature is 100-120°C and the drying time is 6-10h.
[0076] In this application, in order to adapt to the complex components in artemisinin waste, in the preparation process of nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst, only CTAB (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide) or DTAB (dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide) is used as a surfactant to swell and expand the layered molecular sieve precursor, and to expand the interlayer spacing of the layered molecular sieve precursor to form a pillaring effect, so that the interlayer spacing of the molecular sieve after pillaring and expansion reaches 5-10nm, so that the various components in the artemisinin waste can pass through the nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst smoothly to remove harmful elements such as oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen in the artemisinin waste.
[0077] As precursors of MCM-36 molecular sieve, MCM-22(P) molecular sieve and MCM-49(P) molecular sieve can be prepared using existing mature technologies without special requirements.
[0078] When the precursor of the MCM-36 molecular sieve is pillared and expanded, the concentration and pH value of the surfactant aqueous solution, and the relative amount of Si in the surfactant and the precursor are strictly restricted. Since the precursor is greatly damaged when swelling in an alkaline environment, especially under high temperature conditions, a large amount of amorphous silica will be produced. These amorphous silicas will adhere to the pores of the molecular sieve, causing local narrowing of the pores, affecting the patency of the pores, thereby affecting the smooth passage of the raw materials and being prone to carbon formation. Under the above-mentioned limitations of the present application, the MCM-22 (P) or MCM49 (P) precursor can be smoothly swollen and the interlayer spacing can be pillared to the required range, and the generation of amorphous silica can be minimized.
[0079] In step (2.1), if the concentration of the surfactant solution is too low, the density of the surfactant between the molecular sieve layers is insufficient, and the interlayer spacing cannot be effectively expanded, resulting in a small mesopore size, which affects the diffusion of macromolecular reactants. If the concentration of the surfactant solution is too high, micelles will form and agglomerate, resulting in an excessively large local pore size, reducing the specific surface area of the catalyst and possibly leaving carbon impurities after calcination.
[0080] If the ratio of surfactant to Si in the precursor is too low, the pillaring effect is insufficient, the interlayer spacing cannot reach the optimal range of 5-10nm, and large molecular nitrogen-containing compounds have difficulty entering the pores, reducing denitrification efficiency. When the ratio of surfactant to Si in MCM-36(P) is too high, the excess surfactant will lead to excessive interlayer spacing, weakening the interaction between the molecular sieve layers and reducing the structural stability of the catalyst.
[0081] When the pH value is too low, the cationic activity of the surfactant decreases, weakening its ability to bind to anions between the molecular sieve layers and resulting in poor pillaring. When the pH value is too high, the strongly alkaline environment can cause severe dealumination of the molecular sieve framework, destroying the pore structure. The shed aluminum species may also clog the pores.
[0082] When the temperature is too low, the diffusion rate of the surfactant slows down, the pillaring process takes longer, and production efficiency decreases. When the temperature is too high, it will intensify the desiliconization and dealumination of the molecular sieve framework, leading to structural collapse, and may also cause the decomposition of CTAB, affecting the pillaring effect.
[0083] At present, when pillaring MCM-22(P) or MCM-49(P), Si atoms obtained by hydrolysis of silicon sources such as TEOS (tetraethyl orthosilicate) are mainly used to form silica pillars between layers. The silica pillars will form connections with two adjacent structural layers, adjusting the structure of the molecular sieve, and cannot achieve the desired results of this application. Therefore, in this application, only surfactants are used to swell MCM-22(P) or MCM-49(P) to expand the interlayer spacing of the molecular sieve, and there are no silica pillars between adjacent structural layers.
[0084] In step (2.2), during the calcination of MCM-36(P), the calcination heating rate is limited to reduce damage to the molecular sieve structure. Although MCM-36(P) has been dried before calcination to remove moisture, a small amount of moisture is still adsorbed inside the molecular sieve. In addition, during the heating process, the surfactant will also decompose and be discharged from the molecular sieve. Excessively fast heating rate will cause the steam generated during the heating process and the gas produced by the decomposition of the surfactant to be rapidly ejected outward, which will not only damage the external structure of the molecular sieve, but also affect the pore structure of the molecular sieve.
[0085] In this application, the loading of nickel and molybdenum is carried out in a step-by-step manner. Since the performance of nickel and molybdenum is quite different, simultaneous impregnation will lead to agglomeration of nickel and molybdenum, making it impossible to evenly distribute nickel and molybdenum on the molecular sieve, affecting its hydrogenation performance.
[0086] The loading of Ni and Mo not only adjusts the catalytic performance of the molecular sieve, but also adjusts the acidity of the molecule. When the loading is too low, the catalyst surface lacks hydrogenation active sites, resulting in reduced denitrification and desulfurization efficiencies. When the Ni loading is too high, NiO agglomerates are easily formed, reducing the dispersion of the active phase and possibly covering some acidic sites, affecting the overall performance of the catalyst.
[0087] In addition, Ni and Mo elements will enter the interlayer of MCM-36 and play a role similar to pillar support to improve the connection stability between adjacent layers, thereby improving the structural stability of the nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst.
[0088] When the mass ratio of Ni to Mo is too low, the catalytic effect of Ni is insufficient, and it cannot effectively promote the formation of NiMoS2 active phase, thereby reducing the hydrogenation activity of the catalyst; when the mass ratio of Ni to Mo is too high, the excess Ni will compete with Mo for acidic sites, inhibit the breaking of CN bonds, and reduce the denitrification efficiency.
[0089] Specifically, the total pore volume of the nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst is 0.4-0.6 cm 3 / g, with an average pore size of 5-10nm and a gradient acidity distribution: weak acid sites with a desorption peak of 150-250°C account for 30-40% of the total acid content, and the remainder is medium-strong acid sites with a desorption peak of 250-400°C. The desorption peak is detected using the NH3-TPD method.
[0090] The weak acid site has an NH3-TPD desorption peak temperature of 150-250°C, which is mainly derived from MgO modification; the medium-strong acid site has an NH3-TPD desorption peak temperature of 250-400°C, which is mainly derived from the Al-Si molecular sieve framework.
[0091] The weak acid sites gently promote the adsorption and initial hydrogenation of nitrogen-containing compounds. The medium-strong acid sites provide sufficient acidity to break the C-N bond. If the proportion of weak acid sites is too low, the denitrification reaction will be incomplete; if the proportion of medium-strong acid sites is too high, cracking side reactions will easily occur.
[0092] Specifically, before the primary hydrotreatment, the nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst is first sulfurized and activated as follows:
[0093] A CS2 / n-heptane mixture is introduced into a primary hydrogenation reactor using hydrogen and simultaneously heated. During the heating process, the temperature is first raised to 110-140°C at a rate of 0.8-1.2°C / min and held for 1-2 hours; then raised to 330-350°C at a rate of 0.8-1.2°C / min and held for 3-5 hours; and finally raised to 390-420°C and held for 1.5-2.5 hours to complete sulfurization activation. The volume ratio of CS2 to n-heptane is 1:(80-100), the molar ratio of CS2 to the total molar amount of nickel and molybdenum metal in the nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst is (1.1-1.5):1, and the volume ratio of hydrogen to catalyst is (400-600:1).
[0094] When the volume ratio of CS2 to n-heptane is too low, the concentration of the sulfiding agent is insufficient to fully convert Ni and Mo into the active phase NiMoS2, resulting in low catalyst activity. When the CS2 ratio is too high, excessive sulfur species will form on the catalyst surface, covering the active sites and reducing the initial activity of the catalyst.
[0095] During the sulfurization activation process of nickel-molybdenum-based catalysts, the 110-140°C temperature range is primarily used to remove physically adsorbed water from the catalyst surface; the 330-350°C temperature range promotes the initial sulfurization of the metal oxide; and the 390-420°C temperature range completes the sulfurization reaction, forming a stable NiMoS active phase. A steady heating rate ensures a more uniform sulfurization. Rapid heating or skipping a stage can lead to uneven sulfurization, affecting the catalyst's activity and stability.
[0096] In general, this application utilizes the unique layered structure, expandable interlayer spacing, and controllable mesoporous system of MCM-36 as a catalyst support platform. During the preparation of this molecular sieve, the hydrolysis and polycondensation rate of the silicon source during the pillaring process is controlled to achieve a specific size and distribution of the formed silica pillars. This results in the MCM-36 molecular sieve support having a periodic mesoporous structure formed by two-dimensional molecular sieve sheets supported by inorganic oxide pillars. This support possesses both micropores and mesopores, with the mesopores having a pore size distribution ranging from 5nm to 10nm.
[0097] The nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst has a dual-model pore distribution, including a first peak originating from the micropores within the molecular sieve layers and a second peak originating from the interlayer mesopores. The peak pore diameter of the second peak is greater than 2.7 nm. Its unique pore structure is used to cope with complex raw material components.
[0098] Through the above preparation method, nickel and molybdenum elements are preferentially dispersed in the interlayer mesoporous channels of the CM-36 molecular sieve, and the role of phosphorus is to form a specific interaction with the surface of the pillared oxide to enhance the dispersion stability of the metal components.
[0099] Under the same reaction conditions (temperature 350 °C, pressure 10 mPa, hydrogen-to-oil ratio 500:1, space velocity 0.5 h -1 The nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst of the present invention significantly improves the hydrodenitrogenation and chlorine conversion rates of artemisinin waste compared to existing metal hydrogenation catalysts. The inventors of this application discovered that, when using existing catalysts to treat artemisinin waste, nitrogen removal is difficult, chlorine removal can only reach a maximum of 50%, and the removal efficiency decreases rapidly. However, when using the nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst of this application, the activity decrease rate after 168 hours of continuous operation is only 1 / 6 of that of existing catalysts, significantly improving stability.
[0100] The diffusion of macromolecules in artemisinin waste will lead to a decrease in the utilization rate of the catalyst's active centers. In the present invention, the nickel-molybdenum-based catalyst effectively reduces the diffusion resistance of macromolecular nitrides in the raw materials through its unique interlayer mesoporous structure, significantly improves its hydrogenation and denitrogenation efficiency, and also has a certain effect on the deoxygenation and denitrogenation of the side chains. Because the specific loading process and the introduction of phosphorus significantly inhibit the aggregation and growth of the nickel-molybdenum active phase during the reaction process, thereby improving the long-term stability of the catalyst. Since the active metal components are mainly distributed in the spacious interlayer mesoporous channels of MCM-36, the diffusion limitation of macromolecular reactants is greatly reduced, which is the main reason for its high activity.
[0101] Specifically, the preparation method of the nickel-tungsten-based catalyst comprises the following steps:
[0102] In step (3), the nickel-tungsten-based catalyst uses γ-Al2O3-SiO2-MgO as a carrier, a WO3 loading amount of 12-20wt%, a NiO loading amount of 4-7wt%, and a mass ratio of WO3 to NiO of (2.8-3.2):1;
[0103] The carrier is prepared by the following steps:
[0104] Silica sol, pseudo-boehmite, MgO and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate are mixed in the mass ratio of SiO2:Al2O3:MgO:P2O5=(10-15):(78-85):(3-6):(1-2), ball-milled for 3-4 hours and then extruded into strips. After drying, the strips are calcined at 500-550°C for 3.5-5 hours, wherein the silica sol is calculated as SiO2, the pseudo-boehmite is calculated as Al2O3, and the ammonium dihydrogen phosphate is calculated as P2O5.
[0105] The nickel-tungsten loading of the γ-Al2O3-SiO2-MgO carrier is as follows:
[0106] Impregnation: The carrier is impregnated with an aqueous solution of ammonium metatungstate, nickel nitrate and citric acid with a pH of 2.5-3.0 and an overall molar ratio of citric acid to nickel tungsten of 0.5-1.0.
[0107] Program calcination: heat up to 100-140℃ at 0.4-0.6℃ / min and keep warm for 6-10h; then heat up to 330-360℃ at 1-2℃ / min and keep warm for 1.5-2h; finally heat up to 480-540℃ at 1.5-3℃ / min and keep warm for 3.5-5h.
[0108] The nickel-tungsten-based catalyst has a bimodal pore structure: mesopores are 5-8 nm, macropores are 50-100 nm, and the specific surface area is 220-250 m 2 / g, pore volume 0.55-0.65cm 3 / g; NiWS active phase dispersion>80%; weak acid sites account for 40-50%.
[0109] The NH3-TPD method was used for detection, where weak acid sites refer to acid sites with a desorption temperature of <250°C, and medium-strong acid sites refer to acid sites with a desorption temperature of 250-400°C. The dispersion of the NiWS active phase was analyzed using HRTEM.
[0110] During ball milling, the ball-to-material ratio is controlled at (5-20):1, and the rotation speed is 50-150 rpm.
[0111] In an aqueous solution of ammonium metatungstate, nickel nitrate, and citric acid, the nickel nitrate concentration, calculated as nickel oxide and tungsten trioxide, is 150-250 g / L, and the ammonium metatungstate concentration is 2.8-3.2 times that of the nickel nitrate. During impregnation, the impregnation temperature is 50-60°C, and the impregnation time is 10-15 hours. Vacuum impregnation is preferably employed, with a vacuum degree of ≤-0.09 MPa. In the nickel-tungsten impregnation solution, citric acid forms a metal-citric acid complex.
[0112] In this application, the nickel-tungsten-based catalyst uses γ-Al2O3-SiO2-MgO as a carrier, with γ-Al2O3 serving as the primary carrier, primarily leveraging its high specific surface area. SiO2 serves as a secondary carrier, modulating the catalyst's acidity and inhibiting cracking reactions to reduce the proportion of small molecule products. MgO is primarily used to neutralize strong acid sites, reducing the catalyst's acidity. This nickel-tungsten-based catalyst has a long service life of over 8,000 hours.
[0113] This nickel-tungsten-based catalyst has a bimodal pore structure, with mesopores used to diffuse macromolecular terpenes and macropores to prevent coke clogging. Two acid sites with different acidities are incorporated into the nickel-tungsten-based catalyst: the MgO-modified acid sites form weak acid sites, primarily for mild deoxygenation, while the Al-Si-formed medium-strong acid sites are used for desulfurization and denitrification. This allows the nickel-tungsten-based catalyst to precisely remove oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen, improving removal efficiency.
[0114] Specifically, before the secondary hydrotreatment, the nickel-tungsten-based catalyst is first sulfurized and activated as follows:
[0115] First, nitrogen is used for purging, and then hydrogen is replaced;
[0116] Then, a DMDS / H2 mixture gas was introduced with a hydrogen partial pressure of 3.0-4.0 MPa, and the temperature was raised to 330-350°C at a rate of 1.5-2.2°C / min and kept at that temperature for 5-8 hours; the volume ratio of DMDS to H2 was 1:(30-35);
[0117] Finally, a mixed gas containing 2-5 vol% methyltrichlorosilane and H2 is introduced at 320-340°C for 2-4 hours to make the silicon content on the catalyst surface reach 0.5-2.0 wt%.
[0118] After activation, a NiWS phase is formed in the nickel-tungsten-based catalyst. During the activation process, DMDS is used to convert the silicon atoms on the surface of the nickel-tungsten-based catalyst into hydrophobic methylsiloxane, thereby reducing the adsorption of water by the nickel-tungsten-based catalyst during the catalytic process.
[0119] Specifically, in step (4), the total loading of Pt and Pd in the ZSM-48 molecular sieve catalyst is 0.3-0.4wt%, and the mass ratio of Pt to Pd is 1:1-3:1. This loading allows for a high dispersion of the metal active components on the molecular sieve surface (dispersion > 90%), significantly improving isomerization selectivity (normal alkane conversion > 85%, isoalkane selectivity > 90%). By regulating the platinum-palladium ratio, the balance between the catalyst's hydrogenolysis activity and isomerization activity can be optimized, suppressing excessive cracking and increasing the bio-jet fuel yield (C12-C16 yield can reach 65%).
[0120] In step (5), the fractionation conditions are: feed temperature 220-250°C, tower top temperature 120-150°C, tower bottom temperature 300-330°C, and pressure 0.1-0.3 MPa. The light component yield at the top of the fractionation tower is 25-30%, which can be used as a high-octane gasoline blending component (RON ≥ 90), and the jet fuel component yield at the bottom of the tower is 60-65%, meeting ASTM D7566 standards (freezing point ≤ -47°C, aromatics content ≤ 20 wt%).

The molybdenum-based aqueous solution was then dried at 100°C and continued to be dried at 100°C for 10 hours. Finally, it was calcined at 420°C in a nitrogen atmosphere for 4 hours to obtain Mo / MCM-36 molecular sieve.
