FCC轻汽油催化裂化生产丙烯反应规律的研究

在提升管实验装置和脉冲色谱装置上,采用ZSM-5催化剂,考察了不同条件下FCC轻汽油和2M1C5＝的裂化。结果表明,催化裂化过程添加ZSM 5催化剂可提高汽油中C5＝、C6＝的质量分数。轻汽油裂化生产丙烯的性能优于重汽油和全馏分汽油,在相对低的温度下瞬时反应能得到较高的丙烯收率。在脉冲色谱装置上,反应温度和载气流量对轻汽油和2M1C5＝裂化生产丙烯的影响一致,即反应温度升高,载气流量降低,丙烯收率增加。提高反应温度,延长停留时间可以提高丙烯对丁烯的比例。轻汽油在ZSM-5催化剂上反应,催化剂结焦失活速度开始较快,后来减缓。ZSM-5催化剂结焦失活对丙烯生成的抑制作用大于对丁烯的抑制作用,ZSM-5的强酸中心多则更有利于生成丙烯。     

Synthesis and catalytic performance of bimetallic NiMo- and NiW-ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites for production of liquid biofuels

This work presents a synthesis of bimetallic NiMo and NiW modified ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites and their heterogeneous catalytic conversion of crude palm oil( CPO) to biofuels. The ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites were synthesized through a self-assembly of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide( CTAB) surfactant with silica-alumina from ZSM-5 zeolite,prepared from natural kaolin by the hydrothermal technique. Subsequently,the synthesized composites were deposited with bimetallic NiMo and NiW by impregnation method. The obtained catalysts presented a micro-mesoporous structure,confirmed by XRD,SEM,TEM,EDX,NH_3-TPD,XRF and N_2 adsorption-desorption measurements. The results of CPO conversion demonstrate that the catalytic activity of the synthesized catalysts decreases in the series of NiMo-ZSM-5/MCM-41 NiW-ZSM-5/MCM-41 Ni-ZSM-5/MCM-41 Mo-ZSM-5/MCM-41 W-ZSM-5/MCM-41 NiMo-ZSM-5 NiW-ZSM-5 ZSM-5/MCM-41 ZSM-5 MCM-41. It was found that the bimetallic NiMo-and NiW-ZSM-5/MCM-41 catalysts give higher yields of liquid hydrocarbons than other catalysts at a given conversion. Types of hydrocarbon in liquid products,identified by simulated distillation gas chromatography-flame ionization detector( SimDis GC-FID),are gasoline( 150-200 ℃; C5-12),kerosene( 250-300 ℃; C5-20) and diesel( 350 ℃; C7-20).Moreover,the conversion of CPO to biofuel products using the NiMo-and NiW-ZSM-5/MCM-41 catalysts offers no statistically significant difference( P 0.05) at 95% confidence level,evaluated by SPSS analysis.     

High-efficiency process for production of sulfur from metallurgical sulfur dioxide gases

Process in which sulfur is produced from a gas containing 25–55% SO₂ was studied in order to evaluate the real efficiency of the catalytic post-reduction of sulfur dioxide in a pilot unit with gas flow rate of up to 1.2 nm³ h^–1 at the following temperatures (°C): thermal stage 850–1100, catalytic conversion 350–570, and Claus reactor 219–279. It was found that the conversion at 400–550°C and space velocity of 1600 h^–1 on AOK-78-57 promoted aluminum oxide catalyst provides full processing of organosulfur compounds (CS₂ and COS). The temperature dependence of the conversion/generation of hydrogen sulfide on AOK-78-57 catalyst corresponds to the equilibrium model. It was experimentally confirmed that the homogeneous reduction of sulfur dioxide gas with methane at T ≈ 1100°C, with catalytic post-reduction at 400–550°C and subsequent Claus-conversion of the reduced gas at 230–260°C, provide a sufficiently deep (by 92–95%) general processing of sulfur dioxide gas to sulfur.     

Fast pyrolysis (ultrapyrolysis) of cellulose

A fast pyrolysis process, termed ultrapyrolysis, has been developed at the University of Western Ontario in order to exploit the high heating rates, short residence times high temperatures and rapid quenching, which are required to produce valuable non-equilibrium intermediates (i.e. ethylene and acetylene) from finely divided biomass. Hot solids(Thermo-for) are used to carry and transfer heat to the biomass particles in a very turbulent vortical contactor (Thermovortactor). This turbulence creates an ideal environment for fast thorough mixing and extremely rapid heat transfer. Cold solids (Cryofor) are then used to quickly quench the products. Trials with cellulose were conducted at temperatures between 750 and 900°C and residence times between 250 and 450 ms. Ethylene yields, expressed as a mass fraction of the product gas, varied from 6.8 to 8.2% for temperatures ranging from 750 to 900°C. The total hydrocarbon yield, also expressed as amass fraction of the product gas, was 18.8% at 900°C. The conversion of cellulose to a permanent non-condensible gaseous product was estimated to be 98% by mass at 900°C.     

Thermal catalytic cracking of naphtha over multi wall carbon nanotube catalysts

The effects of temperature and Fe loading over multi wall carbon nano tube catalysts in thermal catalytic cracking of naphtha to produce light olefins have been studied in this paper. The CCD method was utilized and a set of experiments were designed and carried out. The temperature and loading varied from 572 to 628 °C and 0.34 to 11.66 wt.% Fe, respectively. In order to determine the effects of the variation of the operating conditions on the yield distributions, a set of statistical models were utilized and the maximum point of the yield of each product was determined. The maximum yield of ethylene (18.84 wt.% of product) and propylene (12.85 wt.% of product) was obtained at 628 °C and 10.6 wt.% loading of Fe over CNTs. Finally, thermal cracking of naphtha was carried out and was compared with thermal catalytic cracking of naphtha. As a result, at 620 °C, the yield of ethylene and propylene in thermal-catalytic cracking was 6.3% and 4.7%, respectively, more than those in thermal cracking of naphtha.     

Thermal and catalytic degradation of pyrolytic oil from pyrolysis of municipal plastic wastes

Thermal and catalytic degradation of pyrolytic oil obtained from the commercial rotary kiln pyrolysis plant for municipal plastic waste was studied by using fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst in a bench scale reactor. The characteristics of raw pyrolytic oil and also thermal and catalytic degradation of pyrolytic oil using FCC catalyst (fresh and spent FCC catalyst) under rising temperature programming was examined. The experiments were conducted by temperature programming with 10 °C/min of heating rate up to 420 °C and then holding time of 5 h. During this programming, the sampling of product oil was conducted at a different degradation temperature and also different holding time. The raw pyrolytic oil showed a wide retention time distribution in GC analysis, from 5 of carbon number to about 25, and also different product characteristics with a comparison of those of commercial oils (gasoline, kerosene and diesel). In thermal degradation, the characteristics of product oils obtained were influenced by reaction temperature under temperature programming and holding time in the reactor at 420 °C. The addition of FCC catalyst in degradation process showed the improvement of liquid and gas yield, and also high fraction of heavy hydrocarbons in oil product due to more cracking of residue. Moreover, the characteristic of oil product in catalytic degradation using both spent and fresh FCC catalysts were similar, but a relatively good effect of spent FCC catalyst was observed.     

Effect of the catalyst MCM-41 on the kinetic of the thermal decomposition of poly(ethylene terephthalate)

The aim of this work is to determine the activation energy for the thermal decomposition of poly(ethylene terephthalate)—PET, in the presence of a MCM-41 mesoporous catalyst. This material was synthesized by the hydrothermal method, using cetyltrimethylammonium as template. The PET sample has been submitted to thermal degradation alone and in presence of MCM-41 catalyst at a concentration of 25% in mass (MCM-41/PET). The degradation process was evaluated by thermogravimetry, at temperature range from 350 to 500 °C, under nitrogen atmosphere, with heating rates of 5, 10 and 25 °C min^?1. From TG, the activation energy, determined using the Flynn–Wall kinetic method, decreased from 231 kJ mol^?1, for the pure polymer (PET), to 195 kJ mol^?1, in the presence of the material (MCM-41/PET), showing the catalyst efficiency for the polymer decomposition process.     

Kinetics of gas oil catalytic cracking

Summary In the present work catalytic cracking of gas oils has been studied in a standard MAT reactor. The cracking product distribution was measured at four different temperatures. Based on the experimental results, a 4-lump kinetic model was applied. Kinetic constants were estimated using the sequential step optimization method. Simulation results have shown to be in a good agreement with experimental data. An isothermal pseudo steady-state model for fixed bed MAT reactor is proposed.     

Comparison of catalytic pyrolysis of biomass with MCM-41 and CaO catalysts by using TGA–FTIR analysis

Pyrolysis of corncob with and without catalyst was investigated using thermogravimetry analyzer coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TGA–FTIR). The effects of two completely different catalysts, acid catalyst (MCM-41) and base catalyst (CaO), on the formation characteristics and composition of pyrolysis vapor were studied. The results show that these two catalysts give different product distributions. For catalytic run with MCM-41, the molality of carbonyl compounds decreases 10.2%, while that of phenols, hydrocarbons and CH₄ increases 15.32%, 4.29% and 10.16% compared with non-catalytic run, respectively. The increase of phenols exhibits in a wide temperature range from about 295 °C to 790 °C in the catalytic run with MCM-41 catalyst. However, the use of CaO in pyrolysis of corncob leads to a huge change of product distribution. The molality of acids decreases 75.88%, while the molality of hydrocarbons and CH₄ increases 19.83% and 51.05% compared with non-catalytic run, respectively. CaO is very effective in deacidification and the conversion of acids promotes the formation of hydrocarbons and CH₄. Catalytic pyrolysis of corncob with CaO shows two main weight-loss stages. The first stage is from 235 °C to 310 °C with a weight loss of 31%. The second stage is from 650 °C to 800 °C with a weight loss of 21%.     

Deoxydesulfurization of dibenzothiophene sulfone over cesium/MCM-41 catalysts

Dibenzothiophene sulfone, one of the products of the oxidative desulfurization of heavy oil, can be utilized through catalytic cracking. The object of the present study is to provide Cs/MCM-41 catalysts for the removal of sulfur dioxide from dibenzothiophene sulfone. Cesium oxide was deposited via an impregnation method on MCM-41, and the catalytic performances of the samples were investigated during the deoxydesulfurization of dibenzothiophene sulfone to biphenyl and sulfur dioxide gas. The influence of cesium loading on the basic properties of MCM-41 was estimated by the temperature-programmed desorption of carbon dioxide. The dibenzothiophene sulfone conversions of the MCM-41, Cs(1 wt%)/MCM-41, Cs(3 wt%)/MCM-41 and Cs(10 wt%)/MCM-41 catalysts were 38.5, 52.1, 72.4 and 40.9%, respectively, which implies that the Cs(3 wt%)/MCM-41 catalyst has the highest activity. This result agrees with the finding of the basicity enhancement of MCM-41 with the addition of cesium, in which Cs(3 wt%)/MCM-41 exhibited a maximum number of basic sites.     

焦化蜡油催化裂化产物氮分布的研究

催化裂化（FCC）原料正向重质化和多样化发展,如何利用催化裂化装置加工焦化蜡油（CGO）成为各炼油厂扩大FCC原料来源和挖潜增效的重要途径。与直馏蜡油（VGO）相比,CGO突出的特点心0是碱性氮化物的质量分数高。中国由于受加氢装置和氢源的限制,CGO一般不加氢而采用直接掺炼的方法,这样不仅存在CGO催化裂化转化过程中FCC催化剂碱氮中毒严重的问题,而且还存在反应后由于部分含氮化合物会直接或间接进入汽油、柴油馏分中,影响产物安定性等问题。为此,对CGO催化裂化转化过程中氮化物的研究引起了研究者的重视。     

Experimental investigation of secondary reactions of intermediates in delayed coking

We report an experimental investigation of secondary reactions of intermediates in delayed coking. Thermal cracking reactions of intermediates, for example coker naphtha (C₅ ~180?°C), light coker gas oil (LCGO, 180?C350?°C), middle coker gas oil (MCGO, 350?C440?°C), and heavy coker gas oil (HCGO, >440?°C), were investigated. The results reveal that cracking of coker naphtha and LCGO is low under these experimental conditions. Thermal cracking MCGO exceeds that of LCGO. Among all the intermediates, thermal cracking is greatest for HCGO. The secondary reactions of HCGO produce not only gas and liquid products, but also coke. This increase in the yields of gas and coke is attributed to secondary reactions of HCGO and MCGO. Inhibition of the secondary reactions of intermediates results in a greater yield of liquid.     

Application of RuO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Nanoparticles as Catalyst in Preparation of Indolo[3,2-a]Carbazoles

RuO₂ nanoparticles were readily prepared from RuCl₃·3H₂O via the formation of Ru-hydroxide precursor, followed by calcination at 550 °C. Under similar conditions, uniform dispersion of spherical RuO₂ nanoparticles over the surface of MCM-41 was also obtained. The synthesized materials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET surface area measurements, and magnetic measurements (VSM). The obtained RuO₂ nanoparticles found application as catalyst in preparation of indolo[3,2-a]carbazoles from the reaction of indoles and benzils. Under mild reaction conditions, satisfactory yields of the desired products were obtained. Stabilization of RuO₂ nanoparticles over the surface of MCM-41 (RuO₂–MCM41), however, had the advantage of easy recycling, although a slight decrease in efficiency after five successive runs was observed.     

Preparation of MnCo/MCM-41 catalysts with high performance for chlorobenzene combustion

MCM-41 was synthesized by a soft template technique. The specific surface area and pore volume of the MCM-41 were 805.9 m²/g and 0.795 cm³/g, respectively. MCM-41-supported manganese and cobalt oxide catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy clearly confirmed the existence of Mn, Co, and O, which indicated the successful loading of the active components on the surface of MCM-41. The structure and function of the catalysts were changed by modulating the molar ratio of manganese to cobalt. The 10%MnCo(6:1)/MCM-41 (Mn/Co molar ratio is 6:1) catalyst displayed the best catalytic activity according to the activity evaluation experiments, and chlorobenzene (1000 ppm) was totally decomposed at 270 °C. The high activity correlated with a high dispersion of the oxides and was attributed to the exposure of more active sites, which was demonstrated by X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The strong interactions between MnO₂, Co₃O₄, MnCoO_x, and MCM-41 indicated that cobalt promoted the redox cycles of the manganese system. The bimetal-oxide-based catalyst showed better catalytic activity than that of the single metal oxide catalysts, which was further confirmed by H₂ temperature-programmed reduction. Chlorobenzene temperature-programmed desorption results showed that 10%MnCo(6:1)/MCM-41 had higher adsorption strength for chlorobenzene than that of single metal catalysts. And stronger adsorption was beneficial for combustion of chlorobenzene. Furthermore, 10%MnCo(6:1)/MCM-41 was not deactivated during a continuous reaction for 1000 h at 260 °C and displayed good resistance to water and benzene, which indicated that the catalyst could be used in a wide range of applications.
