Co-Mo/Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> and Ni-W/Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> catalysts: Potential and prospects for use in hydrotreating of light cycle oil from catalytic cracking

Со-Мо/Al₂O₃ and Ni-W/Al₂O₃ catalysts were tested in hydrotreating of light cycle oil from catalytic cracking, of the straight-run gasoil, and of their mixture under typical hydrotreating conditions used in industry. The catalysts prepared using PMo₁₂ and PW₁₂ heteropoly acids exhibit high catalytic activity. The Со-Мо/Al₂O₃ catalyst is more active in hydrodesulfurization and hydrogenation of olefin and diene hydrocarbons, whereas the Ni-W/Al₂O₃ catalysts are more active in hydrogenation of mono- and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Comparison of the quality characteristics of the hydrogenizates obtained with the requirements of the technical regulations shows that the required levels of the sulfur content and cetane number of the hydrogenizates at practically accessible process parameters can be reached for mixtures of the straight-run gasoil and light cycle oil from catalytic cracking with high content of the latter component only when the process with the Со-Мо/Al₂O₃ system and Ni-W/Al₂O₃ catalysts is performed in two steps.

NiMoW/P-Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> Hydrotreating Catalysts: Influence of the Mo/W Ratio on the Hydrodesulfurization and Hydrogenation Activity

A series of NiMoW/P-Al₂O₃ catalysts with different Mo/W ratios (sample containing Mo only, Mo/W = 2: 1, Mo/W = 1: 1, Mo/W = 1: 2, and sample containing W only; P₂O₅ content of the support 2.0 wt %) were synthesized. The precursors of the active phase were the heteropoly acids H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀?nH₂O and H₃PW₁₂O₄₀?nH₂O, and also nickel citrate. The sulfide phase in the samples was studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; the catalytic activity of the samples in dibenzothiophene hydrodesulfurization and naphthalene hydrogenation was determined. For the dibenzothiophene hydrogenolysis in the presence of quinoline and naphthalene (content in the model mixture, wt %: dibenzothiophene 0.3, naphthalene 1.5, and quinoline 0.5), k_HDS for different samples is in the range 17.6–42.5 h^–1 at 275°C and 24.6–45.9 h^–1 at 300°C. For the naphthalene hydrogenation, k_HYD varies from 0.79 to 1.89 h^–1 at 275°C and from 0.91 to 3.78 h^–1 at 300°C. The sample based on molybdenum showed the highest activity in hydrogenation and hydrodesulfurization.     

Hydrodesulfurization catalysts P-Mo-W/γ-Al2O3: Characterization and catalytic activity

P-Mo-W/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts with various Mo and W contents have been synthesized. The parameters of the porous structure of their sulfide and oxide forms have been determined. The geometric parameters of the active phase of the sulfide catalysts have been calculated using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy data. The catalytic activity has been estimated in dibenzothiophene (DBT) hydrodesulfurization (HDS). The reaction under the conditions examined proceeds mainly as direct hydrodesulfurization. The catalytic activity has been correlated with the Mo/W molar ratio and with the proportions of edge and corner sites.     

Influence of the Pore Structure of a Catalyst for Demetallization of Petroleum Feedstock on the Process Results

Demetallization of a mixture of vacuum gas oil with heavy coker gas oil on CoMo/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts with different pore structures was studied, and the influence of the catalyst pore structure on the process results was demonstrated. For the demetallization catalysts to be effective, their pore size should be restricted not only from below but also from above. When using samples with broad pores, effects of the hydrodesulfurization and hydrodemetallization inhibition can arise owing to adsorption of supramolecular structures of heavy residues, in particular, of asphaltenes.

     

Effect of the Composition and Morphology of the Active Phase of NiMoW/P-Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> Catalysts with Different Mo/W Ratios on Their Activity in the Reactions of Dibenzothiophene Hydrogenolysis and Naphthalene Hydrogenation

A series of catalysts have been synthesized Ni–Mo–W/P-Al₂O₃ with different Mo: W ratios (a sample without W, Mo: W = 2: 1, Mo: W = 1: 1, Mo: W = 1: 2, and a sample without Мо) and a concentration of P₂O₅ in a support of 0.5 wt %. Heteropoly acids H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀ · nH₂O and H₃PW₁₂O₄₀ · nH₂O and nickel citrate were precursors of the active phase. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to study the surface of the sulfide phase of the samples. Their catalytic activity was estimated in the reactions of dibenzothiophene hydrodesulfurization and naphthalene hydrogenation. A catalyst with the ratio Mo: W = 1: 1 showed the highest activity, and was characterized by the maximum concentration of atomic groups Ni–Mo–W–S, Mo–S, and W–S.
