The invention discloses an oil
slurry hydrogenation catalyst and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst provided by the invention comprises a group VIB active
metal, a group VIII active
metal and gamma-Al2O3, the average lamellar
crystal length of the
active phase MoS2 is 7-12 nm, the average lamellar
crystal layer number in a single stack layer is 1-5, and the proportion of stack
layers with the layer number of 3-5 is 40%-90% on the basis of the total number of the stack
layers. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) impregnating a hydrogenation catalyst carrier with an impregnation liquid containing Mo and Co, and after impregnation, loading the impregnated hydrogenation catalyst carrier into a
fixed bed reactor for dry
vulcanization; wherein the dry
vulcanization process comprises the following steps: after
hydrogen circulation is established, raising the temperature to 350-550 DEG C at normal temperature, keeping the constant temperature for 2-10 hours, and maintaining a certain H2S concentration in circulating
hydrogen after 230 DEG C; and (2) introducing CO2 into the reactor, maintaining a certain CO2 concentration in the
reaction system, and introducing catalytic
gasoline to react for a period of time to obtain the oil
slurry hydrogenation catalyst. The catalyst provided by the invention has high direct desulfurization activity, weakens the saturation performance of
tricyclic and tetracyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and is suitable for catalyzing the selective
hydrodesulfurization reaction of
slurry oil.
