Synergetic effect between sulfurized Mo/γ-Al_2O_3 and Ni/γ-Al_2O_3 catalysts in hydrodenitrogenation of quinoline

An evidence for the synergetic effect between the stacked bed of Mo/γ-Al2O3 and Ni/γ-Al2O3 in the hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) reaction of quinoline has been provided in this paper. The synergism factor decreases when the reaction temperature increases (280?340 ?C). The synergetic effect leads to improve the hydrogenation activity for the stacked bed compared with the single Mo/γ-Al2O3 bed, which may be attributed to the generation of hydrogen spillover on the Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst.     

Synthesis of Ni2P promoted trimetallic NiMoW/γ-Al2O3 catalysts for diesel oil hydrotreatment

The Ni2P promoted and γ-Al2O3 supported NiMoW sulfide catalyst consisting of 4 wt% Mo, 22 wt% W, 2 wt% Ni and 2.5 wt% Ni2P was synthesized by a co-impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that Ni2P, Ni, Mo and W species were highly dispersed over γ-Al2O3. The hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) showed that the presence of Ni2P brought a strong promotional effect on the HDS activity, which was further confirmed by the HDS and hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of diesel oil under industrial conditions. The enhancement in HDN activity and stability by Ni2P addition could be attributed more to the effect of new active sites of Ni2P than that of acidity modification. The as-prepared Ni2P-NiMoW/γ-Al2O3 catalyst showed better hydrotreating performance than NiMoW/γ-Al2O3 and commercial catalysts.     

磷化镍催化剂的制备机理及其加氢脱氮性能

采用热重-质谱联用技术研究了次磷酸盐在氮气中的热分解过程,探讨了次磷酸盐热分解法制备磷化镍的反应机理:次磷酸镍中的Ni²⁺能够"催化"H₂PO₂^-低温发生歧化反应生成PH₃,继而还原Ni²⁺得到Ni₂P。制备了不同负载量的Ni₂P/SiO₂催化剂,用X射线衍射(XRD)、低温N₂吸附-脱附、高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)等分析技术对催化剂结构进行表征。结果表明,Ni₂P活性组分在SiO₂载体上具有良好的分散性,颗粒粒径为5～8 nm。以喹啉为加氢脱氮模型化合物,在高压微型固定床反应器上对催化剂活性进行评价,在反应温度为360℃、氢气压力为2.0 MPa、液时空速为2.0 h^-1、氢油体积比为500:1时,Ni₂P(20%)/SiO₂催化剂的加氢脱氮率为41.5%。     

加氢脱氮催化剂中硫化钼结构的表征

众所周知,重油加氢脱氮(HDN)所用Mo-Ni/Al2O3催化剂需经预硫化后始有显著的活性,关于硫化的条件工业上已较成熟,但在持续反应过程中硫化催化剂的结构与活性间的关系则很复杂,如硫化钼的价态和结构、金属组分和担体间的相互作用、反应条件及原料对催化剂组分的影响,以及硫化态催化剂中MoS2结晶的形貌等都可以引起催化剂活性本质的变化.     

F助剂对NiWF/γ-Al2O3催化煤焦油加氢脱氮脱硫的影响

制备了一系列添加不同含量F助剂的NiWF（x）/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂,并采用X射线衍射（XRD）、N₂吸附、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、NH₃-TPD和高分辨透射电子显微镜（HRTEM）等手段对其结构和物化性质进行了表征,同时在固定床反应器上考察了其加氢脱氮（HDN）和加氢脱硫（HDS）活性,反应原料为中国内蒙中低温煤焦油。结果显示,随着F含量的增加,催化剂孔容和孔径没有明显变化,但比表面积减小。催化剂在643 K下硫化6 h后,其硫化度随着F含量的增加而减少,强酸位数和总酸位数呈现先略微增加后减少的趋势。高分辨透射电子显微镜测试表明,硫化后的催化剂中含有具有典型层状结构的WS₂。F含量对NiWF（x）/γ-Al₂O₃的煤焦油HDN性能有较大影响,但对其HDS活性影响很弱。     

The use of sulfide cluster-derived catalysts to understand the promotional effect in hydrotreatment catalysis

Sulfide cluster-derived ensembles are promising models of the active sites in commercial hydrotreatment catalysts. A series of sulfide clusters were adsorbed intact onto high-surface-area γ-alumina, magnesium oxide and activated carbon supports, then pretreated to produce highly dispersed catalytic ensembles with sizes similar to those of their precursor clusters. The activities of the bimetallic cluster-derived catalysts were significantly higher than those of the monometallic catalysts. We took this as evidence that direct interactions between molybdenum and the promoter element cause the promotional effect observed in commercial hydrotreatment catalysts. The hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation activities correlated with the extent of molybdenum reduction. Our results suggested that the active sites in promoted hydrotreatment catalysts are centered on molecular-scale ensembles containing molybdenum, sulfur and the promoter element.     

Molybdenum phosphide as an o-propylaniline hydrodenitrogenation catalyst: a first principles study

MoP has been shown experimentally to be an active catalyst in the hydrodenitrogenation of o-propylaniline. We investigate the structure and the energetics of the o-propylaniline adsorption on the Mo-terminated MoP(001) surface. Detailed information on the structure of the free MoP(001) surface and on the structure and adsorption energy of o-propylaniline on MoP(001) is obtained by using density functional theory. The transition state, reaction path, and the energy barrier are reported for one of the branches of the HDN reaction network that leads to the formation of propylbenzene by hydrogenolysis of the C-N bond.     

Effect of support on the synergy in HDS of thiophene and HDN of pyridine over Mo sulfide catalysts promoted by Rh

The effect of support (SiO₂-Al₂O₃, Al₂O₃,MgO) of the Rh-Mo(S) sulfide catalysts on the synergy in hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of thiophene and hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of pyridine was studied. The synergy in HDS was between 7–10 regardless of the kind of support used. The synergy in HDN varied from none over the MgO supported sample to about 3 over SiO₂-Al₂O₃ supported catalyst, in accord with the positive effect of increasing support acidities.
