二苯并噻吩类硫化物在非负载型NiMoW催化剂上加氢脱硫反应机理

研究了二苯并噻吩(DBT)、4-甲基二苯并噻吩(4-MDBT)和4,6-二甲基二苯并噻吩(4,6-DMDBT)在非负载型NiMoW催化剂上的加氢脱硫反应产物分布及反应机理,给出了它们在非负载型催化剂上加氢脱硫反应网络.研究发现,由于甲基的空间位阻效应,二苯并噻吩类化合物加氢脱硫转化率顺序为4,6-DMDBT≈4-MDBT＜DBT,而非负载型NiMoW催化剂具有很高的芳环加氢活性,有利于烷基取代的芳环加氢,减弱空间位阻效应,使烷基取代的二苯并噻吩类化合物得到有效脱除.DBT的脱硫产物会被进一步加氢,其产物分布与联苯加氢产物相似.4-MDBT有两种预加氢脱硫反应路径,甲基取代的苯环由于甲基的供电子效应会被优先加氢.非负载型催化剂存在的L酸中心会使部分4-MDBT和4,6-DMDBT通过脱甲基反应生成DBT再进行脱硫反应.

Mechanism of hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophenes on unsupported NiMoW catalyst

Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT), 4-methyldibenzothiophene (4-MDBT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) on unsupported NiMoW catalyst was studied. Moreover, mechanisms and reaction networks were revealed on the basis of GC and GC-MS analyses of the reaction products. The result shows that, the HDS rate of dibenzothiophenes is in the order of 4,6-DMDBT≈4-MDBT＜DBT for the spatial restraining effect of the methyl group. Unsupported NiMoW catalyst has high hydrogenation activity in aromatics saturation, it favours the hydrogenation of alkyl-substituted aromatic ring, weakens the spatial restraining effect, leads to the effectively removing of alkyl-substituted dibenzothiophenes. The hydrodesulfurization products of DBT could be hydrogenated further and its distribution is similar to the hydrogenation products of biphenyl(BP). The hydrogenation route of the hydrodesulfurization of 4-MDBT have two reaction pathways, the electron donor induction of the methyl group could promote the hydrogenation of the adjacent phenyl. On the lewis acid sites of catalyst, part of 4-MDBT and 4,6-DMDBT transformed into DBT through the demethylation reaction in their hydrodesulfurization process.
