Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of oil and fat hydrogenation technology, specifically to catalysts for oil and fat hydrogenation and their preparation methods, and methods for hydrogenating oils and fats. Background Technology

[0002] To promote carbon dioxide emission reduction, the development of renewable and clean alternative energy sources has become particularly important. Compared with fossil fuels, biofuels have high calorific value, are renewable, and organisms such as plants absorb carbon dioxide during their growth, forming a closed carbon cycle. Therefore, biofuels have received widespread attention. Specifically, biofuels refer to energy forms that can replace traditional fossil fuels, produced using biological resources (such as plants, animals, and microorganisms) and their metabolic products as raw materials through biological, chemical, or physical methods.

[0003] Among the raw materials for biofuel production, waste cooking oil and other biological waste oils are not only abundant and widespread but also pose significant hazards. Therefore, utilizing waste oils to produce biofuels has become a key path to achieve waste resource utilization and green energy.

[0004] The main chemical components of waste oils include fatty acid glycerides, free fatty acids, and various impurities. The common method for converting waste oils into biofuels is hydrodeoxygenation, which converts waste oils into hydrocarbon fuels.

[0050] The first aspect of this application provides a method for preparing a catalyst for hydrogenating oils and fats, comprising the following steps:

[0051] S10: Phosphoric acid source and template agent are mixed in the first solvent, the pH is adjusted to 10-12, calcium source is added, precipitation reaction and sintering are carried out to prepare hydroxyapatite.

[0052] S20: Hydroxyapatite, nickel salt, molybdate and complexing agent are mixed in a second solvent, and after loading treatment, the precipitate is collected.

[0053] S30: Prepare a catalyst for hydrogenation of oils and fats by heating and reducing the precipitate.

[0054] In some examples, in step S10, the phosphoric acid source includes one or more of sodium monohydrogen phosphate, ammonium monohydrogen phosphate, and calcium dihydrogen phosphate. Further, the phosphoric acid source includes ammonium monohydrogen phosphate. Ammonium monohydrogen phosphate dissociates in water to release hydrogen phosphate ions, which can stably bind with calcium ions under alkaline conditions, promoting the crystallization of hydroxyapatite.

[0055] In some examples, in step S10, the template agent includes one or more of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride, and dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride. The addition of these template agents effectively inhibits disordered aggregation, and the carbon chain length and ion type (such as chloride and bromide ions) of the template agent can regulate the pore size and hydrophobicity of hydroxyapatite, thereby ensuring the mesoporous structure and surface properties of hydroxyapatite. Further, the template agent includes hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide.

[0056] In some of these examples, in step S10, the first solvent includes one or more of water, ethanol, isopropanol, and acetone.

[0057] In some examples, in step S10, the reagent used to adjust the pH to 10-12 includes one or more of sodium hydroxide solution and potassium hydroxide solution. Understandably, the solvent for both the sodium hydroxide solution and the potassium hydroxide solution is water.

[0058] In some examples, in step S10, the calcium source includes one or more of calcium chloride, calcium nitrate, calcium acetate, and calcium chlorate. These calcium sources have good solubility, exhibiting high solubility in a primary solvent such as water, thereby enabling the calcium... 2+ It can react with PO4 in the phosphate source 3- The reaction is highly efficient, which improves the nucleation and crystallization rate of hydroxyapatite.

[0059] In some examples, in step S10, the process parameters for the precipitation reaction include: a temperature of 70°C to 90°C and a time of 20 h to 48 h. These precipitation reaction parameters are mild, ensuring that Ca... 2+ - PO4 3-This efficient reaction avoids the disordered growth of hydroxyapatite caused by high temperatures. Furthermore, the precipitation time provides sufficient growth period for hydroxyapatite, resulting in uniform hydroxyapatite size. For example, the temperature for the precipitation reaction includes, but is not limited to, 70°C, 75°C, 78°C, 80°C, 82°C, 85°C, 88°C, or 90°C, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints.

[0060] In some examples, step S10, the sintering process includes heating to 500°C to 600°C at a heating rate of 3°C / min to 8°C / min. This sintering process effectively removes residual template agent, thereby giving the hydroxyapatite a good morphology and mesoporous structure, which is beneficial for loading nickel-containing and molybdenum-containing components. For example, the heating rate includes, but is not limited to, 3°C / min, 4°C / min, 5°C / min, 6°C / min, 7°C / min, or 8°C / min, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints. The holding temperature for the sintering process includes, but is not limited to, 500°C, 520°C, 550°C, 580°C, or 600°C, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints. Further, in step S10, the sintering time is 4h to 10h.

[0061] In some examples, step S10, after the precipitation reaction and before the sintering process, further includes washing and drying. Further, the drying temperature is 95°C to 105°C. The drying apparatus includes, but is not limited to, an oven.

[0062] In some examples, in step S10, the molar ratio of the phosphate source to the template agent is 1:(0.5~3). For example, the molar ratio of the phosphate source to the template agent includes, but is not limited to, 1:0.5, 1:0.8, 1:0.9, 1:1, 1:1.1, 1:1.2, 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:2.5 or 1:3, or any two of the above point values ​​as endpoints.

[0063] In some examples, in step S10, the molar volume ratio of the phosphoric acid source to the first solvent is (0.01~0.2) mol:1L. For example, the molar volume ratio of the phosphoric acid source to the first solvent includes, but is not limited to, 0.01 mol:1L, 0.015 mol:1L, 0.018 mol:1L, 0.02 mol:1L, 0.05 mol:1L, 0.1 mol:1L, 0.15 mol:1L, or 0.2 mol:1L.

[0064] In some examples, in step S10, the molar ratio of the phosphate source to the calcium source is 3:(4.5~5.5). For example, the molar ratio of the phosphate source to the calcium source includes, but is not limited to, 3:4.8, 3:4.9, 3:5, 3:5.1, 3:5.2 or 3:5.5, or any two of the above point values ​​as endpoints.

[0065] In step S10 of this application, hydroxyapatite is prepared using a phosphate source, a template agent, and a calcium source. The template agent guides the orderly growth of the hydroxyapatite, and after precipitation and sintering, a hydroxyapatite with good morphology and a mesoporous structure is obtained. This hydroxyapatite serves as a catalyst support, and the Ca in it... 2+ -PO4 3- The structure can inhibit carbon buildup and extend catalyst life.

[0066] In some examples, in step S20, the nickel salt includes one or more of nickel chloride, nickel bromide, nickel sulfate, and nickel nitrate. The aforementioned nickel salt is selected from soluble nickel salts, which readily dissociate into nickel ions in the second solvent. These ions are easily dispersed on the surface or in the pores of the support through ion exchange, coordination, or uniform dispersion, ensuring that the nickel active component is uniformly distributed and fully integrated with the hydroxyapatite support during loading, thereby improving loading efficiency and catalyst performance stability.

[0067] In some examples, in step S20, the molybdate includes one or more of sodium molybdate, potassium molybdate, and ammonium molybdate. The molybdate readily dissociates into molybdate ions in the second solvent, which can bind to the support surface or pores through ion exchange, coordination adsorption, or uniform dispersion, ensuring uniform distribution and firm anchoring of the molybdenum active component during loading.

[0068] In some examples, in step S20, the complexing agent includes one or more of urea and thiourea. Urea and thiourea, as complexing agents, can form complexes with metal ions such as nickel in the second solvent via amino or thiol groups, thereby regulating the release rate of metal ions in the solution and preventing drawbacks such as poor loading due to excessively high metal ion concentrations.

[0069] In some examples, step S20 includes a loading treatment step comprising: performing a first loading treatment at a temperature of 80°C to 100°C, and a second loading treatment at a temperature of 15°C to 35°C. This application performs the loading treatment in two stages. The high-temperature first loading treatment at 80°C to 100°C promotes the rapid adsorption and diffusion of metal ions on the support surface, followed by a low-temperature second loading treatment at 15°C to 35°C to suppress excessive crystal growth, thereby achieving uniform dispersion and controllable loading of the active component on the support surface. For example, the temperature of the first loading treatment includes, but is not limited to, 80°C, 85°C, 90°C, 95°C, or 100°C, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints. Further, the duration of the first loading treatment is 1 hour to 5 hours. Even further, the duration of the first loading treatment is 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours. For example, the temperature of the second load treatment includes, but is not limited to, 15°C, 18°C, 20°C, 22°C, 25°C, 28°C, 30°C, 33°C, or 35°C, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints. Further, the duration of the second load treatment is 10h to 20h. Even further, the duration of the second load treatment is 11h to 13h.

[0070] In some examples, in step S20, the mass ratio of hydroxyapatite to nickel salt is 1:(0.1~2). The mass ratio of hydroxyapatite to nickel salt includes, but is not limited to, 1:0.1, 1:0.2, 1:0.23, 1:0.25, 1:0.26, 1:0.28, 1:0.3, 1:0.5, 1:0.8, 1:1, 1:1.5, or 1:2, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints. In some examples, in step S20, the mass ratio of hydroxyapatite to molybdate is 1:(0.1~2). The mass ratio of hydroxyapatite to molybdate includes, but is not limited to, 1:0.1, 1:0.2, 1:0.23, 1:0.25, 1:0.26, 1:0.28, 1:0.3, 1:0.5, 1:0.8, 1:1, 1:1.5 or 1:2, or any two of the above point values ​​as endpoints within the range.

[0071] Limiting the mass ratio of hydroxyapatite to nickel salts and molybdates helps to control the metal content in the catalyst, thereby ensuring the catalyst's hydrodeoxygenation catalytic activity.

[0072] In some examples, in step S20, the mass ratio of hydroxyapatite to complexing agent is 1:(0.1~10). The mass ratio of hydroxyapatite to complexing agent includes, but is not limited to, 1:0.1, 1:1, 1:3, 1:4, 1:4.5, 1:4.8, 1:4.9, 1:5, 1:5.1, 1:5.2, 1:5.5, 1:7, 1:9 or 1:10, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints within a range.

[0073] In step S20, hydroxyapatite is further subjected to a loading treatment. In this step, the complexing agent can regulate the coordination state of metal ions and inhibit agglomeration, thereby effectively dispersing nickel salts and molybdates. Due to the mesoporous structure and surface properties of hydroxyapatite, it can form a strong interaction with nickel salts and molybdates through the pore confinement effect, thereby achieving the loading of nickel-containing and molybdenum-containing components; and effectively avoiding the sintering agglomeration and loss problems of nickel-containing and molybdenum-containing components.

[0074] In some examples, in step S30, the heating process parameters include a temperature of 500°C to 600°C. Further, the heating treatment time is 3 hours to 8 hours. Heating treatment can decompose the supported metal salt or metal ions into metal oxides and enhance the interaction between the nickel-containing and molybdenum-containing components and hydroxyapatite, thereby improving the activity and stability of the catalyst. For example, the heating temperature includes, but is not limited to, 500°C, 520°C, 550°C, 560°C, 580°C, or 600°C, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints. Further, the heating time includes, but is not limited to, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, or 8 hours, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints.

[0075] In some examples, step S30 includes a reduction reaction carried out in a hydrogen atmosphere at a temperature of 450°C to 550°C for 3 to 6 hours. Further reduction enhances the activity of the metal component, ensuring the catalyst's activity and selectivity in the hydrodeoxygenation catalytic reaction. Furthermore, the reduction reaction temperature includes, but is not limited to, 450°C, 480°C, 500°C, 520°C, 530°C, 540°C, or 550°C, or any two of these values ​​as endpoints. The reduction reaction temperature includes, but is not limited to, 3 hours, 3.5 hours, 4 hours, 4.5 hours, 5 hours, 5.5 hours, or 6 hours, or any two of these values ​​as endpoints.

[0076] Heating and reduction reactions can further stabilize the active centers of nickel-containing and molybdenum-containing components and enrich the pore structure, giving the catalyst both biocompatibility and catalytic activity.

[0077] A second aspect of this application provides a catalyst for the hydrogenation of oils and fats, comprising a support and a nickel-containing component and a molybdenum-containing component supported on the support.

[0078] The carrier includes hydroxyapatite.

[0079] The catalyst of this application combines hydroxyapatite, a nickel-containing component, and a molybdenum-containing component. The mesoporous structure of the hydroxyapatite promotes the adsorption of oil molecules and the dissociation and overflow of hydrogen, which is beneficial to the hydrodeoxygenation reaction process. The nickel-containing and molybdenum-containing components supported on the hydroxyapatite support exhibit good catalytic activity in the hydrogenation reaction of oils. Furthermore, the strong interaction between the hydroxyapatite support, the nickel-containing component, and the molybdenum-containing component prevents sintering, agglomeration, and leaching loss of the active sites of the nickel-containing and molybdenum-containing components, inhibits carbon deposition, and thus effectively extends the catalyst lifetime.

[0080] In some examples, the mass ratio of hydroxyapatite to the nickel-containing component is 1:(0.1~2). This mass ratio includes, but is not limited to, 1:0.1, 1:0.2, 1:0.23, 1:0.25, 1:0.26, 1:0.28, 1:0.3, 1:0.5, 1:0.8, 1:1, 1:1.5, or 1:2, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints. In some examples, the mass ratio of hydroxyapatite to the molybdenum-containing component is 1:(0.1~2). This mass ratio includes, but is not limited to, 1:0.1, 1:0.2, 1:0.23, 1:0.25, 1:0.26, 1:0.28, 1:0.3, 1:0.5, 1:0.8, 1:1, 1:1.5, or 1:2, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints.

[0081] A third aspect of this application provides a method for hydrogenating oils and fats, comprising the following steps:

[0082] Hydrogenated products are prepared by reducing the oil components to be hydrogenated and the catalyst under a hydrogen atmosphere.

[0083] The catalyst includes the catalyst for hydrogenation of oils and fats according to the second aspect of this application or the catalyst for hydrogenation of oils and fats prepared by any of the preparation methods according to the first aspect of this application.

[0084] In some of these examples, the oil components to be hydrogenated include one or more of fatty acid glycerides, palmitic acid, oleic acid, and fatty acids.

[0085] In some examples, the process parameters for the reduction reaction include: a temperature of 300℃ to 450℃ and a pressure of 3MPa to 6MPa. The temperature of the reduction reaction includes, but is not limited to, 300℃, 330℃, 350℃, 370℃, 400℃, 420℃, 430℃, or 450℃, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints. The pressure of the reduction reaction includes, but is not limited to, 3MPa, 3.5MPa, 4MPa, 4.5MPa, 5MPa, 5.2MPa, 5.5MPa, 5.8MPa, or 6MPa, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints.

[0086] In some examples, the mass ratio of the oil component to be hydrogenated to the catalyst is 1:(0.02~0.2). For example, the mass ratio of the oil component to be hydrogenated to the catalyst includes, but is not limited to, 1:0.02, 1:0.024, 1:0.025, 1:0.026, 1:0.03, 1:0.05, 1:0.08, 1:0.1, 1:0.15, or 1:0.2, or any two of the above values ​​as endpoints within a range.

It should also be understood that the following embodiments are for further explanation only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0090] (1) Preparation of mesoporous hydroxyapatite:

[0091] 0.03 mol of ammonium hydrogen phosphate ((NH4)2HPO4, phosphate source) and 0.03 mol of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB, template agent) were dissolved in 500 mL of water and stirred. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution was added to bring the pH to 12. Then, 200 mL of 0.25 mol / L calcium nitrate (calcium salt) solution was added dropwise, and the solution was heated to 80 °C and maintained for 24 h to carry out the precipitation reaction. The mixture was then filtered, the precipitate was washed and dried in an oven at 100 °C, and then heated in a muffle furnace at a heating rate of 5 °C / min at 550 °C for 6 h to obtain a mesoporous hydroxyapatite support.

[0092] (2) Preparation of catalysts for hydrogenation of oils and fats:

[0093] 2 g of mesoporous hydroxyapatite support, 0.5 g of nickel nitrate (nickel salt), and 0.5 g of ammonium molybdate (molybdate) were dispersed in 100 mL of water and stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Then, 10 g of urea (complexing agent) was added, and the mixture was heated to 90 °C and maintained for 2 h. The mixture was then allowed to stand at room temperature for 12 h to age, allowing for the loading reaction. After filtration, washing, and drying, a precipitate was obtained. The precipitate was calcined at 550 °C for 4 h, followed by reduction at 500 °C for 4 h in a tube furnace under a hydrogen atmosphere to obtain the catalyst.

[0094] Example 2

[0095] Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, the main difference being that the nickel salt used in Example 2 is nickel sulfate.

[0096] Example 3

[0097] Example 3 is basically the same as Example 1, the main difference being that the molybdate used in Example 3 is sodium molybdate.

[0098] Example 4

[0099] Example 4 is basically the same as Example 1, the main difference being that the amount of nickel salt added in Example 4 is 3g.

[0100] Example 5

[0101] Example 5 is basically the same as Example 1, the main difference being that the amount of molybdate added in Example 5 is 3g.

[0102] Comparative Example 1

[0103] Comparative Example 1 is basically the same as Example 1, the main difference being that molybdate was not added in Comparative Example 1.

[0104] Comparative Example 2

[0105] Comparative Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, the main difference being that no nickel salt was added to Comparative Example 2.

[0106] Comparative Example 3

[0107] Comparative Example 3 is basically the same as Example 1, except that Comparative Example 3 does not include step (1), and step (2) uses a silica carrier instead of a mesoporous hydroxyapatite carrier.

[0108] Test case

[0109] 0.5g of the catalyst from the above examples and comparative examples was mixed with 20g of oleic acid and placed in a batch reactor. Hydrogen gas was introduced, and the reaction was carried out at 350℃ and 4MPa for 2 hours. After the reaction was completed, the conversion rate of the reactants was tested. The corresponding test results are shown in Table 1.
