Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a specific packaged hydrogenation catalyst comprising a packaging container and a hydrogenation catalyst, the packaging container containing a specific polymer, and the packaged hydrogenation catalyst having a specific mass ratio of polymer to hydrogenation catalyst enclosed in the packaging container.Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for preparing said specific packaged hydrogenation catalyst, and a packaged hydrogenation catalyst obtained or obtainable by said method.In addition, the present invention relates to the use of the packaged hydrogenation catalyst according to the present invention and a method for hydrogenating unsaturated hydrocarbon feedstocks. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, there is a growing market for hydrogenated petroleum resins that are used as adhesives in packaging containers and nonwoven fabrics. Hydrogenation of these resins improves thermal stability and produces desirable colorless and transparent products. For example, US Pat. No. 5,399,433 relates to hydrogenation catalysts that contain mixed oxides of Ni / Si / Al. Currently, hydrogenation catalysts are often produced by precipitation, reduction and stabilization. The hydrogenation catalysts may be in the form of powders, granules, flakes, or pellets.

[0003] Usually, the last step of the manufacturing method for preparing the hydrogenation catalyst includes packaging the hydrogenation catalyst in a packaging container, such as a plastic bag, or protecting the hydrogenation catalyst with a coating. For example, the hydrogenation catalyst powder can be packed in a polyethylene bag to protect the catalyst. Other protection measures include mixing the hydrogenation catalyst with a molten polymer, as disclosed in, for example, US Pat. No. 5,399,363.

[0004] US Pat. No. 5,399,633 relates to a packaging material for the storage of ethane sensitive products and discloses a catalyst foil with a protective polystyrene cover.

[0005] For example, packaging in plastic bags can protect the hydrogenation catalyst, avoiding problems associated with Ni dust on-site and complying with current emission regulations. Although the application of bags is often unavoidable, it can also be perceived as a negative for workers who have to handle the hydrogenation catalyst in such packaging. Disadvantages include the need for additional process steps, in particular the need to open each bag and discharge its contents into a reactor, e.g., a mixing tank. However, the powder remaining in the bag after discharge is difficult to remove from the bag. This makes complete discharge difficult and creates a loss of resources. Furthermore, the hydrogenation catalyst, especially if present as a powder, can be exposed to the atmosphere during discharge from the bag. A further disadvantage is that the plastic bags must be disposed of, taking into account the Ni dust containment problem.

[0006] On the other hand, the use of protective coatings as disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,999,363 has the disadvantage that a relatively large amount of polymer is required since a single particle is coated, whereas, for example, packaging in a bag generally allows a higher ratio of packaged catalyst to polymer. A further disadvantage of using protective coatings is that cost-intensive process steps are required, including melting the polymer, mixing the molten polymer with the hydrogenation catalyst in an inert gas atmosphere to form a slurry, and cooling the slurry to obtain coated catalyst flakes.

[0007] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2015 / 008247 [Patent Document 2] International Publication No. 2017 / 208164 [Patent Document 3] International Publication No. 2008 / 110020 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide a particular packaged hydrogenation catalyst, which allows for its time- and cost-efficient processing, in particular to avoid the above-mentioned drawbacks. It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide a packaged hydrogenation catalyst, which allows for its better handling, in particular in view of the potentially pyrophoric and carcinogenic nature of encapsulated hydrogenation catalysts. Furthermore, it was also an object of the present invention to provide a packaged hydrogenation catalyst, which allows for the use of a relatively low amount of packaging container material compared to the amount of catalyst. In addition to this, it was an object to provide a packaged hydrogenation catalyst, which can be prepared in a time- and cost-efficient manner. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] Thus, it has been surprisingly found that a packaged hydrogenation catalyst, comprising a package containing a specific polymer and hydrogenation catalyst enclosed in a package with a specific weight ratio of polymer to hydrogenation catalyst, allows the entire (unopened) packaged hydrogenation catalyst to be placed in a reaction mixture without the need to open the package to release the contents. Furthermore, it has been surprisingly found that the packaged hydrogenation catalyst can be prepared by a relatively time- and cost-efficient method. The packaged hydrogenation catalyst according to the invention has also been tested in the hydrogenation reaction of hydrotreated light fractions (petroleum) and hydrotreated heavy naphtha (petroleum). In the context of the present invention, hydrotreated light fractions (petroleum) are understood to comprise aliphatic and alicyclic hydrocarbons having carbon numbers mainly in the range of C9 to C16, and hydrotreated heavy naphtha (petroleum) are understood to comprise hydrocarbons having carbon numbers mainly in the range of C6 to C13.

[0241] The present invention is further illustrated by the following Reference Examples, Examples, and Comparative Examples. EXAMPLES

[0242] Reference Example 1: Preparation of hydrogenation catalyst The hydrogenation catalyst was prepared according to Example 2 of WO2015 / 008247 A2 with minor modifications. A solution containing nickel and alumina salts, silicate, and sodium carbonate was mixed in a well-stirred precipitation vessel at a temperature of 90°C. The pH of the formed slurry was about 7.5, and after 1 hour, the precipitation was complete. After washing the precipitate, the catalyst precursor was filtered and dried in an oven at 110°C. The dried solid was then activated with hydrogen at 425°C for 2 hours, followed by passivation at 100°C in the presence of air.

[0243] The hydrogenation catalyst was reduced with hydrogen and subsequently stabilized. During stabilization, the reduced hydrogenation catalyst was treated with CO 2 and trace oxygen (4% O 2 ) to passivate the active Ni metal. The process was controlled by temperature and gas volume and concentration.

[0244] The hazardous properties of the hydrogenation catalyst include: H251: self-heating, may catch fire, and H350i: may cause cancer by inhalation (see Hazard and Precautionary statements of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals).

[0250] [Table 2]

[0251] Reference Example 4: Styrene-Butadiene Copolymer (SBC) as a Polymer for Packaging Containers A styrene-butadiene copolymer (SBC) film (Styroflex® 2G66 SBC; INEOS Styrolution) was prepared with a thickness of 50 micrometers and a transparent (clear) appearance. The film was a styrene-butadiene copolymer (SBC) containing 35% by weight of butadiene repeat units and 65% by weight of styrene repeat units. The technical characteristics of the film are provided in table 3 below.

[0252] [Table 3]

[0253] Reference Example 5: Styrene-Butadiene Copolymer (SBC) as a Polymer for Packaging Containers A styrene-butadiene copolymer (SBC) film (Styroflex® 4G80 SBC; INEOS Styrolution) was prepared with a thickness of 50 micrometers and a clear (transparent) appearance.

The technical characteristics of the film are provided in table 4 below.

[0254] [Table 4]

[0255] Reference Example 6: Styrene-Butadiene Copolymer (SBC) as a Polymer for Packaging Containers A styrene-butadiene copolymer (SBC) film having a thickness of 50 micrometers and a clear (transparent) appearance was prepared (Styrolux® 3G55 SBC; INEOS Styrolution). The film was a styrene-butadiene copolymer (SBC) containing 26% by weight of butadiene repeat units and 74% by weight of styrene repeat units. The technical characteristics of the film are provided in table 5 below.

[0256] [Table 5]

[0257] Reference Example 7: Mixture of polyethylene and polyamide as polymer for packaging containers A mixture of polyethylene and polyamide was prepared as a film produced by coextrusion of 0.050 mm PE-LD (low density polyethylene), 0.03 mm polyamide and 0.05 mm PE-LD (low density polyethylene).

[0258] The technical characteristics of the film are provided in table 6 below.

[0259] [Table 6]

[0260] Reference Example 8: Solubility test The solubility of styrene-butadiene copolymer was tested in different solvent systems. The results are shown in table 7 below. The solubility test was carried out using 0.1 g of styrene-butadiene copolymer provided as a film and 50 ml of the solvent system. The solubility was tested in the solvent system having a temperature of 25° C. and under air atmosphere at a pressure of 101.3 kPa (1013 mbar).

[0261] [Table 7]

[0262] Reference Example 9: Catalyst Testing Hydrogenation tests of the resins were carried out in the presence of the polymers provided in Reference Examples 2-6 and also in the absence of polymer (Comparative Example 1). The hydrogenation catalyst from Reference Example 1 was used. The hydrogenation tests were carried out according to the following procedure. During hydrogenation, a mass ratio of hydrogenation catalyst to polymer of 10:1 was used.

[0263] Hydrogenation tests were carried out in a batch reactor HP-9 using high sulphur C9-resin as the feed (sulphur content was 125 ppm). The activity of the samples was compared with that of a commercial hydrogenation catalyst (Ni 5338 P RS catalyst from BASF; a 62% Ni powder catalyst designed for hydrogenation of C9 and DCPD petroleum resins). The catalyst was heated to 300° C. for 1 hour at 40° C. for 1 hour at 40° C. The catalyst was heated to 3 ... 2 The conditions for the standard test were as follows: Agitation: 1100rpm; Pressure: 80 bar; Temperature: 270℃; Supply: 75g resin / 75g Exxsol D40; Working time: 2 hours; Catalyst loading: 1.0% on dry resin basis.

[0264] The reaction rate (RRH) of the catalyst for hydrogenating the hydrocarbon resin is expressed by a reaction rate constant, which is obtained by performing a linear regression between 0% and 30% conversion and expressed as 1 / h after 2 hours of hydrogenation. The hydrogenation activity was calculated by normalizing the RRH of the catalyst with the RRH of Example 1.

[0265] The results of the catalyst tests are shown in Table 8 below.

[0266] [Table 8]

[0267] Resin hydrogenation tests were carried out in the absence of the polymers shown as comparative examples to serve as benchmarks, and therefore the relative activities k(0-30%) as well as k(30-70%) were set to 100% for resin hydrogenation tests in the absence of polymer to allow comparison with other tests.

[0268] From the results shown in Table 8, it can be seen that the presence of the polymer according to one of the reference examples 2 to 6 does not adversely affect the resin hydrogenation. In particular, by comparing the results for the resin hydrogenation tests in the presence of the polymer according to one of the reference examples 2 to 6 with the tests in the absence of the polymer, it can be seen that the relative activities k (0-30%) as well as k (30-70%) are almost the same.

[0269] Considering that for future applications, the catalyst to polymer mass ratio in the resin hydrogenation reaction is expected to be in the range of 250:1 to 100:1, it can be expected that the activity of the catalyst for the resin hydrogenation reaction in the absence of polymer is approximately the same as that for the resin hydrogenation reaction in the presence of polymer.

[0270] Example 6: Hydrogenation catalyst packaging container A catalyst material containing Ni according to Reference Example 1 was prepared. Furthermore, two polystyrene films according to Reference Example 2 were prepared, each film having a length and width of 7 cm. The films were set flat on top of each other, and then three sides were sealed to form an open bag. 0.75 g of the catalyst was filled into the open bag. The bag was then completely sealed. The sealing was performed with the edge of a metal plate having a temperature of 175°C. The mass ratio of catalyst to polymer was 1:1. A packaged hydrogenation catalyst was obtained.

[0271] Reference Example 10: Catalyst testing The test of the catalyst according to Example 9 was repeated using different catalysts: the packaged hydrogenation catalyst according to Example 6 or the hydrogenation catalyst according to Example 1 was used.

[0272] The catalyst was added to a batch reactor with the resin pre-dissolved in a non-polar organic solvent system (Exxsol D-40) at approximately 95° C. It was specifically observed that after hydrogenation, the polystyrene was completely dissolved in the mixture containing the resin and solvent.

[0273] It was found that the hydrogenation activity of the hydrogenation catalyst packaged in a polystyrene bag was slightly reduced by up to 90% compared to the hydrogenation activity of the hydrogenation catalyst provided by itself.

[0274] Additionally, hydrogen uptake was monitored for the hydrogenation tests. The results are shown in Figure 1. It can be seen that the hydrogen uptake of the catalyst provided in the sealed bag (lower line) was slightly lower than that of the catalyst provided by itself (upper line) and thus in the absence of polystyrene. The packaged hydrogenation catalyst was shown to perform comparable to the hydrogenation catalyst provided by itself in hydrogenation reactions.
