Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of petroleum refining technology, and in particular to a mesoporous in-situ crystallization FCC catalyst and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] The petrochemical industry is the foundation of modern industry, providing the vast majority of transportation fuels and chemical production raw materials, making it one of the largest and most important industries in modern times. In my country's petroleum refining process, catalytic cracking (FCC) technology is the most basic and crucial method for processing heavy oil into lighter forms. It is also one of the most flexible, efficient, and economical key technologies for the efficient conversion and clean utilization of crude oil, holding a core position in the crude oil processing flow. FCC catalysts are the key core technology of catalytic cracking, directly affecting the catalytic cracking process and determining the outcome of crude oil processing. From a preparation process perspective, FCC catalysts are mainly divided into two types: semi-synthetic catalysts and in-situ crystallization catalysts. Semi-synthetic catalysts utilize industrial raw materials such as silicon and aluminum sources to first synthesize molecular sieves, which are then mixed with binders and kaolin to prepare the catalyst. In-situ crystallization catalysts are prepared by first spraying kaolin and binders into balls, then synthesizing molecular sieves, and finally modifying them to prepare the catalyst.
[0003] As oil resources are consumed at an ever-increasing rate, global oil reserves are declining, and crude oil quality is deteriorating. The proportion of heavy oil (high in oil content) and high-sulfur oil (high in sulfur content), which are difficult to refine, is steadily increasing. In-situ crystallization catalysts, due to their high stability and strong ability to crack heavy oil molecules, are gradually becoming dominant in FCC processes. However, as the proportion of heavy oil in crude oil continues to rise, higher demands are being placed on the performance of FCC catalysts. Heavy oil contains relatively high levels of macromolecular compounds such as gums and asphaltenes. These compounds have extremely high gasification temperatures and are difficult to gasify under conventional cracking conditions. They are easily converted into coke during catalyst regeneration, leading to reduced conversion rates and the generation of large amounts of coke and dry gas. Existing technologies improve in-situ crystallization catalysts by modifying the kaolin matrix and optimizing the preparation process to improve pore structure, in order to meet the needs of heavy oil processing. However, the existing in-situ crystallization catalysts are still not ideal for the catalytic cracking of heavy oil, and have problems such as easy metal poisoning, insufficient catalytic cracking conversion rate, and excessively high coke yield. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address at least one of the aforementioned technical problems and develop an FCC catalyst with excellent stability, a relatively ideal pore structure, superior heavy oil catalytic activity, high gasoline yield, and low coke yield, this application provides a mesoporous in-situ crystallization FCC catalyst and its preparation method.

[0010] S5. The modified vermiculite powder obtained in step S2 and the modified kaolin obtained in step S4 are mixed at a mass ratio of 0.15~0.25:1 to obtain a mixture. The aluminum sol, cellulose and deionized water are mixed with the mixture to form a slurry at a mass ratio of 1:0.1~0.15:0.2~0.25:15~30, and then spray-dried to granulate the mixture to form microparticles with a particle size of 50~100μm. The microparticles are then calcined at 550~600℃ for more than 2 hours to obtain microspheres.

[0025] Figure 1 This is an electron micrograph of the catalyst in Example 1 of this application. Detailed Implementation
[0026] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0027] This application provides a method for preparing a mesoporous in-situ crystallized FCC catalyst, comprising the following steps:
[0028] S1. After washing and drying the vermiculite, microwave expansion treatment is performed. After sieving out the unexpanded vermiculite, the expanded vermiculite is ground to a particle size of 5~50μm to obtain expanded vermiculite powder.
[0029] S2. The vermiculite powder obtained in step S1 is placed in a 0.5-1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution at a solid-liquid mass ratio of 1:10-50 and ultrasonically acid-treated for more than 6 hours. After washing and drying, it is placed in a mixed aqueous solution of bismuth nitrate, antimony nitrate and aluminum chloride and ultrasonically impregnated for more than 1 hour. After filtration, it is calcined at 550-600℃ for more than 2 hours and then ground to a particle size of 5-50 μm to obtain modified vermiculite powder.
[0030] S3. Calcine the kaolin at 700~750℃ for more than 2 hours, and grind it to a particle size of 5~50μm to obtain kaolin micro powder;
[0031] S4. The kaolin powder from step S3 is placed in a 0.5-1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution at a solid-liquid mass ratio of 1:10-50, and ultrasonically acid-treated for more than 6 hours. After washing and drying, it is placed in a mixed aqueous solution of yttrium chloride and zirconium sulfate and ultrasonically impregnated for more than 1 hour. After filtration, it is calcined at 550-600℃ for more than 2 hours to obtain modified kaolin.
[0032] S5. The modified vermiculite powder obtained in step S2 and the modified kaolin obtained in step S4 are mixed at a mass ratio of 0.15~0.25:1 to obtain a mixture. The aluminum sol, cellulose and deionized water are mixed with the mixture to form a slurry at a mass ratio of 1:0.1~0.15:0.2~0.25:15~30, and then spray-dried to granulate the mixture to form microparticles with a particle size of 50~100μm. The microparticles are then calcined at 550~600℃ for more than 2 hours to obtain microspheres.
[0033] S6. Take the microspheres obtained in step S5, and mix them thoroughly with sodium aluminate, water glass, sodium hydroxide and deionized water according to the mass ratio of microspheres:sodium oxide:alumina:silicon oxide:deionized water of 1:0.1~0.18:0.01~0.02:0.18~0.24:20~30. After aging and in-situ crystallization, filter out the solid product, wash and dry it to obtain the mesoporous in-situ crystallized FCC catalyst.
[0034] Prior to this application, existing in-situ crystallization-type FCC catalysts primarily used kaolin as the main raw material. Impurity metals were removed through acid treatment, and the acid strength and quantity were increased through modification treatment. Then, in-situ crystallization was performed to produce NaY molecular sieves, which were then used to prepare the catalyst. These catalysts mainly utilize the crystalline structure formed by calcining kaolin to capture heavy metals, and the resulting porous structure ensures sufficient contact between the catalytically active material and crude oil components. Combined with the high catalytic activity resulting from the high acid content, this achieves highly efficient catalysis. However, these catalysts are not ideal for heavy oil. Analysis of existing catalyst preparation methods revealed that in-situ crystallization treatment reduces the number and volume of pores in the catalyst, thus affecting the contact between the large molecular components of heavy oil and the catalytically active material. Furthermore, these catalysts have poor heavy metal capture efficiency, easily leading to the coverage of catalytic active sites by heavy metals such as nickel and vanadium, resulting in catalyst contamination and failure. Furthermore, heavy oil contains a significant amount of macromolecular compounds such as gums and asphaltenes. The pore structure of existing catalysts is not ideal, affecting the catalytic cracking effect on these macromolecular compounds. Therefore, existing catalysts are not ideal for heavy oil, resulting in low gasoline yield, high coke yield, and relatively low overall conversion rate.
[0035] This application designs a composite catalyst by introducing modified vermiculite. Through microwave expansion and modification treatment, it can be endowed with a mesoporous structure and certain catalytic effects. This design, combined with pore-expanding treatment of cellulose, enables the prepared catalyst to form a relatively ideal pore structure from macropores to mesopores to micropores, facilitating the entry and catalysis of large molecular compounds in heavy oil. Furthermore, through modification treatment, this application can form a catalytic chain of macroporous and mesoporous pre-catalytic cracking followed by high-efficiency microporous catalytic cracking, achieving efficient catalytic cracking of large molecular compounds in heavy oil. In addition, this application modifies kaolinite with yttrium chloride and zirconium sulfate, giving the molecular sieve formed by catalyst crystallization excellent catalytic activity. This promotes the formation of saturated alkanes as much as possible from the large molecular compounds in heavy oil after catalytic cracking, thereby effectively improving gasoline yield, reducing coke yield, and significantly improving conversion rate.
[0036] The design of this application, with its macroporous-mesoporous-microporous channel structure, allows large molecular compounds from heavy oil to enter the catalyst's pores, ensuring sufficient contact between the catalytic active sites and the various components of the heavy oil. The addition of cellulose enables kaolin to form larger pores during calcination, effectively expanding the pores. Even after in-situ crystallization, which reduces the number and volume of pores, the catalyst still maintains abundant macroporous channels.
[0037] This application modifies kaolin by composite impregnation with yttrium chloride and zirconium sulfate. After sintering, the kaolin is uniformly loaded with strongly acidic zirconium compounds and moderately acidic yttrium compounds. This ensures that the macroporous surface of the catalyst after calcination and in-situ crystallization is loaded with the aforementioned composite acidic active sites of strong and moderate acids. The microporous surface of the molecular sieve formed by in-situ crystallization is also loaded with the aforementioned composite acidic active sites of strong and moderate acids. The loading modification of mesoporous vermiculite in this application involves loading bismuth nitrate, antimony nitrate, and aluminum chloride. After calcination, bismuth nitrate and antimony nitrate form bismuth and antimony oxides loaded on the mesoporous surface of vermiculite. This effectively captures heavy metals from heavy oil entering the macropores, effectively preventing contamination of the molecular sieve. The loading of acidic aluminum allows the formation of moderately acidic active catalytic sites on the vermiculite surface. This design allows the large molecular compounds in the heavy oil entering the macropores of the catalyst to first contact the complex acidic active sites within the macropores during catalytic cracking. These compounds undergo preliminary catalytic cracking into smaller molecules, then enter the mesopores to capture heavy metals and continue the cracking reaction under the catalysis of acidic aluminum active sites, completing the pre-catalytic cracking. The smaller molecular components, after pre-catalytic cracking, can then smoothly enter the pores of the molecular sieve, where they are catalyzed by the active sites to generate even smaller hydrocarbon molecules. This loading modification design, combined with the pore design, can form a strong-medium-strong-strong catalytic chain, effectively promoting the catalytic cracking of heavy oil, avoiding the surge in coke yield caused by over-catalysis, significantly increasing the formation rate of small molecule hydrocarbons, and thus significantly increasing gasoline yield and reducing coke yield.
[0038] Furthermore, this application uses a composite raw material of kaolin and vermiculite powder as a matrix, and prepares microspheres through a multi-calcination process, followed by in-situ crystallization treatment to prepare the catalyst. Expanded vermiculite possesses excellent heat resistance, and the multi-calcination process allows the formation of kaolinite and quartz phases in the microspheres of this application, effectively improving the strength and wear resistance of the catalyst, compensating for the insufficient strength of vermiculite, and giving the catalyst excellent stability.

[0089] As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the combined catalysts prepared in Examples 1-10 of this application exhibit significantly better total liquid phase yield and gasoline yield in the catalytic cracking of heavy oil compared to the catalysts in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, while the coke yield is significantly lower. This demonstrates that the mesoporous in-situ crystallized FCC catalyst of this application, with its more ideal pore structure and specifically designed catalytic pathway, significantly improves the catalytic cracking effect of heavy oil, demonstrating a significantly superior catalytic performance compared to existing catalysts.
[0090] The data in Table 1, comparing the data from Examples 1-10 of this application, shows that the catalytic effect of the catalyst is further improved after optimizing the catalyst ratio. Furthermore, the catalytic effect is also further improved after optimizing the preparation process. The applicant believes that using specific microwave treatment parameters can achieve better expansion effects, making the mesoporous pores of the expanded vermiculite more compatible with the catalyst of this application. Optimizing the acid treatment process parameters can more effectively remove metal impurities from the raw materials, effectively improving the catalytic activity of the catalyst. Optimizing the concentration ratio of the modified solution can give the supported modified components a better ratio, allowing the formed bismuth and antimony oxide components to achieve better resistance to heavy metal contamination, while making the acid strength and amount of the acid supported on vermiculite and kaolin more suitable, resulting in better pre-catalytic and final catalytic effects. Furthermore, using the specific aging and in-situ crystallization parameters of this application can effectively improve the crystallization rate, thereby improving the catalytic activity of the catalyst.
[0091] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
