Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalyst technology, specifically relating to a coke oven gas hydrodesulfurization catalyst and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Coke oven gas is rich in essential components such as H2, CH4, CO, CO2, C2H4, and C2H6, giving it significant application value. After purification, coke oven gas can be used as a raw material for the synthesis of methanol, natural gas, and ammonia. However, coke oven gas contains various harmful impurities, including trace amounts of H2S, COS, CS2, thiophene, mercaptans, and sulfides, which can poison and deactivate subsequent catalysts. Therefore, coke oven gas desulfurization is a crucial process for its purification and utilization.

[0003] Currently, coke oven gas hydrodesulfurization generally uses Fe-Mo / γ-Al2O3 catalysts, but their activity is low. Even at operating temperatures of 350℃~420℃, the removal rate of organic sulfur is only about 60%, which is difficult to meet the requirements of industrial use. On the other hand, conventional Co-Mo or Ni-Mo catalysts are thermally deactivated because the CO and CO2 contained in coke oven gas are prone to undergo strong exothermic reactions such as methanation.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN 101797513A discloses a coke oven gas hydrodesulfurization catalyst obtained by using γ-Al₂O₃ or MgO-Al₂O₃ as a support, loading a mixed solution of Mo-Fe-Ni-P salts, and then drying and calcining it. The invented catalyst is said to effectively improve the low-temperature activity of the catalyst, reduce side reactions such as methanation, and extend the catalyst's lifespan. However, since the active component is loaded onto the support surface only once, the problem of loss of the active component Mo is not well addressed. Chinese invention patent CN 108855116B discloses a coke oven gas hydrodesulfurization catalyst obtained by kneading, extruding, drying, and calcining a mixed solution of Mo-Fe-Ni with boehmite. This catalyst is said to effectively reduce the methanation reaction activity; however, to reduce methanation activity, the amount of active component Mo is significantly reduced, sacrificing hydrodesulfurization activity. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides a coke oven gas hydrodesulfurization catalyst and its preparation method, which can effectively reduce Mo loss and extend catalyst life, as well as reduce the methanation reaction rate.

[0006] The specific plan is as follows:

[0007] A coke oven gas hydrodesulfurization catalyst, using Al2O3 as a support, supports active components MoO3, NiO, Fe2O3, and an acid anion containing A; wherein, the content of MoO3 accounts for 1-25 wt% of the total catalyst, the content of NiO accounts for 0.01-6 wt% of the total catalyst, the content of Fe2O3 accounts for 0.5-10 wt% of the total catalyst, the content of the acid anion containing A accounts for 0.05-5 wt% of the total catalyst, and the balance is Al2O3; A is selected from at least one of F, P, S, B, As, and Sb.

[0008] A method for preparing a coke oven gas hydrodesulfurization catalyst includes the following steps:

[0009] S1 is prepared by mixing molybdenum salt, iron salt, and a compound containing an acid radical A, then kneading it with aluminum hydroxide powder, and calcining it to obtain a catalyst-modified support.

[0010] S2. A mixed solution of molybdenum salt and nickel salt is prepared, and then the catalyst-modified support obtained in step S1 is impregnated and calcined to obtain a coke oven gas hydrodesulfurization catalyst.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, the calcination temperature is 500~700℃ and the calcination time is 1~20h.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S2, the calcination temperature is 400~600℃ and the calcination time is 1~20h.

[0013] Furthermore, the amount of Mo moles in the molybdenum salt in step S1 accounts for 5 to 50% of the total amount of Mo moles in the molybdenum salts in steps S1 and S2.

[0014] Preferably, the molybdenum salt is selected from at least one of ammonium molybdate, ammonium tetramolybdate, and ammonium paramolybdate; the iron salt is selected from at least one of soluble iron salts, preferably ferric nitrate, ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, and ferric acetate; the compound containing the A anion is selected from at least one of acid or ammonium salt; and the nickel salt is selected from at least one of soluble nickel salts, preferably nickel nitrate, nickel chloride, nickel sulfate, and nickel acetate.

[0015] Preferably, the aluminum hydroxide powder in step S1 is boehmite.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0017] Studies have shown that one of the main reasons for the deactivation of coke oven gas hydrodesulfurization catalysts is the loss of the active component Mo. This invention divides the active component Mo into two parts: one part is prepared as a modified support by extrusion with iron salts and modifier A and pseudoboehmite; the other part is loaded onto the support surface by impregnation with nickel salts. The advantages are that during use, Mo in the support gradually diffuses to the catalyst surface to replenish the lost Mo, extending the catalyst's lifespan. Furthermore, by modifying the support with F, P, S, B, As, etc., the acidity of the catalyst support surface can be enhanced, the interaction between the support and the supported molybdenum oxide can be weakened, and the dispersibility and sulfidation degree of the surface molybdenum oxide can be improved, thereby increasing the catalyst activity.
