Design of Catalyst Support for Deep Hydrodesulfurization of Gas Oil

Abstract

Alumina-silica (Al₂O₃-SiO₂) composite supports were examined to find the optimum state of support (i.e., composition and morphology). SiO₂ content in the Al₂O₃-SiO₂ support induced a shift of the main peak to higher frequency ascribed to an increased amount of Mo₈O₂₆ ^4?. A 75 wt% Al₂O₃-25 wt% SiO₂ support had homogeneously dispersed alumina particles of smaller size with high crystallinity. Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of straight-run gas oil and its conventionally hydrotreated straight-run gas oil was performed over NiMo sulfides supported on Al₂O₃-SiO₂ composites. The high crystallinity of NMASA2-27 may be related to the high HDS and hydrogenation activity of NiMo sulfides due to its moderate interaction with the alumina surface.     

Catalytic Performance of Modified HZSM-5/Al2O3 Catalysts for Nonhydrodewaxing

The HZSM-5/Al₂O₃ molecular sieve catalyst was modified by phosphoric acid, tetraeth-oxysilane, tetrabutyl titanate, and boric acid, respectively. Properties of modified catalysts are characterized. The results show that the specific surface area declines and the acid density increases after modification of the catalysts, and the strong acid strength of Si/HZSM-5/Al₂O₃ catalyst enhanced. Modified catalysts performances are evaluated on fixed bed reactor using hydrocracking tail oil from a refinery as raw material. Results show that the Si/HZSM-5/Al₂O₃ catalyst has better catalytic dewaxing effect and stability than the other modified catalysts.     

The Effect of Pd Precursors on the Catalytic Activity of a Pd/Al2O3 Catalyst for Cumene Hydroperoxide Hydrogenation

Abstract

Abstract Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation using K₂PdCl₄, (NH₄)₂PdCl₄, and Pd(NO₃)₂ as precursors. All catalysts were characterized by means of inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and CO chemisorption. The results obtained in the hydrogenation of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) to α-cumyl alcohol (CA) showed that Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst prepared from Pd(NO₃)₂ exhibited the highest turnover frequency (TOF) value and the greatest deactivation extent, whereas Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst prepared from (NH₄)₂PdCl₄ displayed the lowest TOF value but the best stability.     

硫化压力对NiW/Al2O3催化剂加氢脱硫催化性能的影响

在硫化温度623 K下,硫化压力在20~80 MPa 范围内改变时,考察了硫化压力对含和不含柠檬酸的NiW/Al2O3催化剂的4〖DK〗,6 二 甲基二苯并噻吩（4〖DK〗,6 DMDBT）加氢脱硫催化活性的影响,并采用X射线光电子能谱 (XPS)和高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)对硫化态催化剂进行了表征。结果表明,在20~60 MPa 范围,两个催化剂的加氢脱硫催化活性均随硫化压力增加而提高,且从20 MPa增加至40 MPa时,活性增幅最大。当硫化压力超过60 MPa后,前者活性仍继续上升,而后者活性则 变化很小。相同条件下,前者的脱硫活性均高于后者。 随着硫化压力的提高,催化剂中W物 种硫化度上升,WS2微晶数量增多,长度变短,而WS2微晶堆叠层数则呈现先升后降趋势 。催化剂脱硫活性与W物种硫化度关联度较高,并受到WS2微晶形貌变化的影响。柠檬酸的 存在促进了W物种的硫化,并导致生成数量更多、长度较长、堆叠层数较高的WS2微晶 。     

NiWO4纳米粒子的合成、表征和加氢脱硫性能

利用水热处理方法制备了NiWO4纳米粒子,采用X射线衍射、透射电镜以及N2吸附等手段对NiWO4纳米粒子以及相应硫化产物进行了表征,并在微反装置上考察了其对4,6二甲基二苯并噻吩的加氢脱硫活性。结果表明,NiWO4纳米粒子对4,6二甲基二苯并噻吩具有极高的加氢脱硫活性,NiWO4相以及纳米尺度是其高脱硫活性的本质原因。     

Production of olefins from syngas over Al2O3 supported Ni and Cu nano-catalysts

The most important products that can be produced from syngas are methanol, dimethyl ether and light olefins (ethylene and propylene). The light olefins are the most important syngas products, because many of the chemicals are produced from them. The aim of this work was to study the olefins production from syngas over Al₂O₃-supported Ni-Cu nano-catalysts. In addition, the effect of various factors such as catalyst on olefin production and CO conversion has been investigated. The concentration of heavier olefins (C5) was greater than the remaining olefins, since the rate of reactions must be increased to form C1 to C4. In the case of a Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst, C1 and C4 was initially increased and then decreased with an increase in Ni loading from 0% to 15%.     

W 对 W-Ni2P/SBA-15催化剂结构及二苯并噻吩氢脱硫性能的影响

 以硝酸镍为镍源,磷酸氢二铵为磷源,介孔分子筛 SBA-15为载体,采用共浸渍法制备Ni₂P/SBA-15前驱体,再将一定量的偏钨酸铵水溶液引入,采用程序升温还原制备了一系列 W-Ni₂P/SBA-15催化剂。采用 XRD、N₂吸附-脱附、NH₃-TPD 和 XPS 表征了催化剂的结构,并评价了催化剂的二苯并噻吩加氢脱硫活性。结果表明,W-Ni₂P/SBA-15催化剂中均只存在Ni₂P物相;催化剂的比表面积和孔体积随着W含量的增加先增大后减小;强酸量和总酸量都随W含量的增加有明显增加;W的加入使得催化剂表面的 Ni^δ+含量有所降低,而 P^δ-含量有所增加;在大于360℃时,催化剂对二苯并噻吩具有很好的深度加氢脱硫活性,并且以直接脱硫生成联苯的脱硫机理为主。

Effect of operating conditions on alkylation of toluene with methanol

P-xylene (PX) is widely used as a raw material of synthesis of terephthalic acid (PTA) and polyester. With the demand of PTA and polyester, PX is demanded eagerly. The process for preparing PX through alkylation of toluene with methanol has been concerned widely. In an experiment HZSM-5/Al₂O₃ catalyst was prepared by loading pseudoboehmites on HZSM-5. The strength of B acid is adjusted, so side reactions can be controlled effectively. The optimum operating conditions are that molar ratio of toluene to methanol is 2.0, reaction temperature is 410°C, carrier gas flow is 7 mL/min, and WHSV is 1.0 h^?1 by investigating the effect of operating conditions on toluene conversion and PX selectivity. Toluene conversion and PX selectivity are up to 46.2% and 68.07%, respectively, under the optimum operating conditions.

Kinetic Parameters Optimization and Modeling of Catalytic Dehydrogenation of Heavy Paraffins to Olefins

A mathematical model for a fixed bed radial flow catalytic reactor was developed for dehydrogenation of heavy paraffins over Pt-Sn/Al₂O₃ catalyst. The model included appropriate kinetic rate expressions for the main dehydrogenation reaction as well as side reactions and catalyst deactivation. The reactor model consisted of a set of partial and ordinary as well as algebraic equations that were solved numerically to determine the concentration of various species along the radius of the bed as a function of time. The Nelder-Mead optimization method was used to obtain the optimum kinetic parameters. The validity of the model was demonstrated by comparing the predicted paraffin conversion and product distributions with experimental values reported in the literature.

KINETIC INVESTIGATION OF METHYLCYCLOPENTANE REFORMING ON FRESH AND DEACTIVATING Pt/Al2O3 CATALYST

ABSTRACT

The conversion of methylcyclopentane (MCP) in hydrogen on fresh and deactivating Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst to hydrogenolysis products (2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane and n-hexane), cyclohexane and benzene was studied in a Berty CSTR at various partial pressures of MCP and H₂, and at a total pressure of 1 atm. For the kinetic studies, temperatures between 370 – 400° and W/F values up to 0.33 g min/cm³ were used. The conversion of MCP was found to increase with increase in temperature at all the MCP partial pressures investigated. The hydrogenolysis products and benzene composition generally increased with increase in temperature and W/F. The mechanism for the reforming of MCP was similar to that proposed by Dartigues et al. (1978) except that the formation of hydrogenolysis products was accounted for in this formulation. Eleven rate models were developed and tested and six satisfied the set criteria. Since hydrogenation/dehydrogenation and desorption steps are relatively rapid, the conversion step to hydrogenolysis products was deemed the only rate determining step with an activation energy of 36.31 kcal/gmol. For the deactivation studies, the model of Corella and Asua (1982) was used for the development of two deactivation models. The only model found to predict the deactivation behavior was the step leading to the formation of the coke precursor as rate controlling.     

Pt/SO42-/ZrO2-Al2O3在正己烷异构化反应中的催化行为

采用连续流动的固定床微反装置考察了Pt/SO24-/ZrO2-Al2O3(PSZA)在正己烷异构化反应中的催化行为。采用NH3-TPD、H2-TPR及TG表征了催化剂的酸性、还原性能及硫物种含量。结果表明,PSZA的初始异构化催化活性几乎不受反应温度的影响,而稳定性则与反应温度密切相关。低温下反应,催化剂在短时间内迅速失活,而提高反应温度可大大提高PSZA的反应稳定性。PSZA具有良好的再生性能,与新鲜催化剂相比,多次再生后的催化剂异构化催化活性基本没有变化。PSZA在低温下的快速失活与其催化活性中心产生的机理有关,而与其硫损失或硫物种的还原无关。在异构化反应过程中,催化剂通过氢溢流可产生强酸活性中心,并在反应过程中不断被消耗;在高温下通过氢溢流不断产生新的强酸中心,使催化活性保持稳定;而低温下氢溢流难以发生,消耗的强酸活性中心不能及时补充,使催化活性下降。     

CHEMICAL BASIS OF MIDDLE DISTILLATE FUEL INSTABILITY: Interactive Effects of Selected Nitrogen Heterocycles with Organic Bases in a Shale-Derived Diesel Fuel.

ABSTRACT

Fuel instability reactions are defined in terms of the formation of deleterious products such as filterable sediments and peroxides. Gravimetric stability tests have been carried out at 80^°C using two model nitrogen heterocycles: 2,5-dimethy1pyrrole, DMP, and 3-methylindole, 3-MI, in an otherwise stable shale derived middle distillate fuel. Potential interactive effects for these model nitrogen heterocycles have been described by the presence of organic base co-dopants. Organic bases employed included: tri-n-butylamine, N, N-dimethyl-aniline, and 4-dimethylaminopyridine. Simple organic amines exerted only minor interactive effects, usually an increase in filterable sediment in the range of 5–15%. However, the diamine species, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, interacted in a strong positive fashion to generate increased amounts, 22–44%, of sediment.

钒作为加氢催化剂活性组分的研究 Ⅱ 钒对NiMo/Al2O3催化剂渣油加氢活性的影响

 采用浸渍法制备了一系列含V的NiMo/Al₂O₃催化剂。对硫化态含V的NiMo/Al₂O₃催化剂进行了XPS和TEM表征;以科威特常压渣油为原料,考察了V对NiMo/Al₂O₃催化剂渣油加氢活性的影响。结果表明,由于渣油中金属和硫的存在形态不同,并且V-Mo-S相和V-S相对于加氢脱金属的催化作用大于加氢脱硫的催化作用,因此V能引起NiMo/Al₂O₃催化剂上渣油脱金属率的增加;但是V含量较高时,V会造成NiMo/Al₂O₃催化剂上渣油脱硫率的降低。     

Oxidative Desulfurization of Fuel Oil: Modeling Based on Artificial Neural Network

Abstract

Oxidative desulfurization of fuel oil was investigated using a process consisting of oxidation and distillation steps. In the oxidation step, various organic carboxylic acid/H₂ O₂ systems, especially acetic acid/H₂ O₂, were used as oxidant. They oxidize both easy and refractory sulfur compounds and convert them into oxidized sulfur compounds. The oxidized sulfur compounds are finally removed from fuel oil by distillation in the presence of water. The sulfur content of fuel oil was decreased to levels as low as 20 ppm (up to 90%) in a short contact time, ambient temperature, and atmospheric pressure. The results showed that applying this process did not have any deleterious influence on the distillation characteristic, composition, and content of fuel oil that was examined. An artificial neural network, using back propagation (BP), was also utilized for modeling oxidative desulfuration process of fuel oil. The comparison between the output of ANN modeling and the experimental data showed satisfactory agreement.     

Hydrogen production by catalytic gasification of petroleum residue

The liquid fuel gasification to obtain a clean flue gas for power generation and produce chemicals such as methanol is a most promising attempt to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants. In this paper, an equilibrium model of liquid fuel gasification was developed by the method of Gibbs free energy minimization. Two kinds of catalysts: Ni/CeO₂/Al₂O₃ and Ni/Al₂O₃ were used to explore the influence of catalysts and operating conditions on hydrogen yield and char conversion. Over the ranges of operating conditions studied, the maximum hydrogen yield reached 52.47 vol%, whereas the char conversion varied between 45.2% and 98.5%. The results indicated that an appropriate reaction temperature is favorable for higher hydrogen production and char conversion. The model was validated with experimental data obtained from a fluidized bed gasifier.
