DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a hydrocracking catalyst with higher aromatic-saturation activity (hereinafter referred to as the catalyst according to the present invention in some places) and a preparation method of the catalyst, so as to overcome the disadvantages of low aromatics-saturation and low ring opening activity present in existing hydrocracking catalysts. furthermore The present invention relates to use of said hydrocracking catalyst in the hydrocracking process of hydrocarbon oil.
Therefore, the present invention firstly provides a hydrocracking catalyst comprising a moulded composite support of a zeolite molecular sieve and alumina, at least one of VIII Group metal components, at least one of VIB Group metal components and an organic additive; wherein said organic additive is one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of oxygen-containing or nitrogen-containing organic compounds, and based on weight of said catalyst the content of said zeolite molecular sieve is 3 ̃60 wt %, the content of said alumina is 10 ̃80 wt % and the content of said organic additive is 0.1 ̃40 wt %; and the content of said VIII Group metal component is 1 ̃15 wt % and as calculated on oxide and based on weight of the catalyst the content of said VIB Group metal component is 5 ̃40 wt %.
In one embodiment, said hydrocracking catalyst contains no additional components, except a moulded composite support of a zeolite molecular sieve and alumina, at least one of VIII Group metal components, at least one of VIB Group metal components and an organic additive. That is to say, the hydrocracking catalyst in one embodiment of the present invention comprises said moulded composite support of said zeolite molecular sieve and said alumina, said at least one of VIII Group metal components, said at least one of VIB Group metal components and said organic additive, wherein said organic additive is one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of oxygen-containing or nitrogen-containing organic compounds, and the content of said zeolite molecular sieve is 3 ̃60 wt %, the content of said alumina is 10 ̃80 wt % and the content of said organic additive is 0.1 ̃40 wt % based on weight of said catalyst, and the content of said VIII Group metal component is 1 ̃15 wt % and the content of said VIB Group metal component is 5 ̃40 wt %, as calculated on oxide and based on weight of said catalyst.
Compared with existing arts, the hydrocracking catalyst according to the present invention substantially improves the aromatic-hydrogenation conversion activity.
For example, C-1 catalyst containing an organic additive provided by the present invention is different from the reference catalyst RC-1 merely in that said catalyst C1 contains 0.85 wt % of EDTA as an organic additive. When evaluated by using n-octane solution containing 5.61% of tetrahydronaphthalene, the aromatic-hydrogenation conversion activity of the catalyst C1 increases 5%, as compared with that of the reference catalyst RC-1.
The present invention further provides a preparation method of said hydrocracking catalyst, which comprises mixing a zeolite molecular sieve, alumina and/or a precursor of alumina, and then moulding and calcining the resultant mixture to prepare a moulded composite support; and then introducing at least one of VIII Group metal components, at least one of VIB Group metal components and an organic additive into said moulded composite support. Said organic additive is one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of oxygen-containing or nitrogen-containing organic compounds; and the amounts of said various components are selected such that the content of each component in the catalyst meets the following conditions respectively: the content of said zeolite molecular sieve is 3 ̃60 wt %, the content of said alumina is 10 ̃80 wt % and the content of said organic additive is 0.1 ̃40 wt % based on the weight of said catalyst; and the content of said VIII Group metal component is 1 ̃15 wt % and the content of said VIB Group metal component is 5 ̃40 wt %, as calculated on oxide and based on the weight of said catalyst.
In addition, the present invention further relates to the use of said hydrocracking catalyst in the hydrocracking process of hydrocarbon oil. The process according to the present invention for hydrocracking hydrocarbon oil comprises the step of contacting a hydrocarbon oil feedstock with said hydrocracking catalyst in the presence of hydrogen under hydrocracking reaction conditions. The present invention increases the conversion efficiency of aromatic hydrogenation considerably in the hydrocracking process of hydrocarbon oil of the present invention.
For example, the hydrocracking process of the feedstock oil as provided is carried out using the catalyst C-3 according to the present invention containing an organic additive under conditions of: a reaction temperature of 350° C., a hydrogen partial pressure of 6.4 MPa, a liquid hourly space velocity 0.75 hrs−1 and a hydrogen/oil volume ratio of 800. The process is only different from the reference process of the Comparative Example 3 in that the reference hydrocracking process uses a catalyst containing no organic additive. Comparing the two processes under the same condition, it may be concluded that the former process has the yield of <350° C. formation oil increased by 5.8 wt % and the BMCI value of >350° C. formation oil is 1.9 unit less than the Comparative Example. After the reaction temperature is increased to 380° C., the hydrocracking process using the catalyst containing organic additive has the yield of <350° C. formation oil increased further by 16 wt %, and the BMCI value of >350° C. formation oil decreased further by 4.8 unit.

According to conventional method in the art, the catalyst according to the present invention are generally presulfurized before being used in the presence of hydrogen at a temperature of 140 ̃370° C. with sulfur, hydrogen sulfide or sulfur-containing feedstock. This kind of presulfurization may be carried out at exo-reactor, or in situ of the reactor, and therefrom the catalyst is converted into sulfide type.
In another embodiment, the present invention relates to the use of said hydrocracking catalyst for the hydrocracking of hydrocarbon oil. That is to say, the present invention provides a hydrocracking process of hydrocarbon oil, which comprises contacting a hydrocarbon oil feedstock with said hydrocracking catalyst of the present invention in the presence of hydrogen under the conditions of hydrocracking reaction.
In the process according to the present invention for hydrocracking hydrocarbon oil, there is no special limitation on conditions of said hydrocracking reaction, and general reaction conditions may be used. For example, reaction conditions that may be mentioned are a reaction temperature of 200 ̃650° C., preferably 300 ̃510° C., a reaction pressure of 3 ̃24 MPa, preferably 4 ̃15 MPa, a liquid hourly space velocity of 0.1 ̃10 hrs−1, preferably 0.2 ̃5 hrs−1 and a hydrogen/oil volume ratio of 100 ̃5000, preferably 200 ̃1000.
The hydrocracking process according to the present invention can be used directly to process various kinds of hydrocarbon oil feedstocks by hydrocracking. Said hydrocracking process may be based on any hydrocracking or hydrotreating process well-known in the art, and the products usually obtained from the process generally contain products having boiling point and/or molecular weight lower than the hydrocarbon feedstock. Said hydrocarbon oil feedstock may be selected from heavy mineral oil, synthetic oil or their mixed distillates. In a preferred embodiment, said heavy mineral oil is selected from straight-run gas oil, vacuum gas oil, demetallized oil, atmospheric residue, deasphalted vacuum residue, coking distillate, catalytic cracking distillate, shale oil, coal liquefied oil or tar sand oil and the like, and said synthetic oil is Fischer-Tropsch oil.
The catalyst according to the present invention is especially suitable for the hydrocracking of heavy and poor distillates to produce fraction oils having a distillation range of <350° C. and higher than 350° C., especially suitable for the hydrocracking process for producing more distillate having the distillation range less than 350° C., and/or for the hydrocracking process to decrease much efficiently the aromatic and naphthene contents of fractions for feeding, particularly for the distillate hydrocracking well-known in the art to increase diesel-fuel cetane number and decrease BMCI value of tail oil, and the like.
Said BMCI value in the present invention refers to the index of US Mine Bureau, which is well known to one skilled in the art, for example, a specific calculation equation being given in the reference document (Petroleum Refining Engineering, page 74, 3rd Edition, Editor-in-chief: Lin Shixiong, Petroleum Industry Publisher, ISBN7-5021-2886-7). Under comparable conditions, the value has a regular corresponding relationship with the content of aromatics and naphthene in the sample. Generally, the higher the value is, the more aromatics and naphthene the sample has.
The following Examples are intended to describe the present invention, but these Examples are not used to limit the present invention.
Content of each metal component in the Examples are measured by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry.
All reagents used in Examples are chemical pure reagents. Otherwise, a special explanation is given.
