CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
       [0001]    The present application is a continuation of PCT/CN2010/000418, filed on Mar. 31, 2010, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201010114295.7, filed on Feb. 25, 2010. The contents of these applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. 
     
    
     FIELD 
       [0002]    The present invention relates to a method for preparing a hydrorefining catalyst, the catalyst thus prepared is suitable for hydrorefining medium-low distillate oils. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    Currently, there were many reports about methods for preparing hydrorefining catalysts with Ni—Mo, Co—Mo, Ni—W, Co—W, Co—Mo—Ni, and W—Mo—Ni as active components. In the process of preparing the catalysts containing cobalt and molybdenum by impregnation method, a main problem that exists is that the active components Co and Mo are difficult to be dissolved, and especially two active components are difficult to be dissolved in one solvent. Further, in preparation of the catalysts by using a multi-step impregnation method, the preparation cost of the catalysts is increased. In preparation of the catalysts by using a one-step impregnation method, problems that exist in the prior art are as follows: an organic acid/base needs to be added to promote dissolution of the active components; when the contents of the active components are required to be high, a large amount of organic acid/base needs to be used; during calcination, the temperature is difficult to he controlled, and temperature runaway easily occurs, a large amount of gas is discharged, and loss of catalyst is serious. 
         [0004]    Further, whether the formulated impregnation solution of active components is clear and homogeneous directly influences the dispersion degree of the active components in the catalyst after impregnation, thereby influencing the catalyst activity and selectivity. Therefore, selection of effective solvent and dissolution method is a key factor for formulation of the impregnation solution, 
         [0005]    U.S. Pat. No. 4,409,131 discloses a method for preparing a CoMo/NiMo catalyst by impregnating a support in a solution containing active components and aqueous ammonia in one step. A process for formulating the impregnation solution is introduced in detail, in which it is required to heat a mixture to promote dissolution of the active components. 
         [0006]    U.S. Pat. No. 6,013,598 discloses a method for preparing the catalysts for selective hydrodesulfurization. The catalyst includes cobalt, molybdenum as active components and alumina as a support, and is prepared by isometric impregnating the support in an aqueous solution of the active components with citric acid added, and the maximum content of molybdenum oxide in the resulting catalyst is merely 10 wt %. 
         [0007]    CN91110935.8 discloses a method for preparing a hydrorefining catalyst, which includes dissolving cobalt acetate in water, adding ethylenediamine to form a mixed solution of cobalt ethylenediamine, adding ammonium molybdate to the solution at pH 12 to 14, to prepare a co-impregnation solution containing cobalt and molybdenum metals, and impregnating a porous support with the co-impregnation solution, so as to prepare the catalyst. This method has the disadvantage that calcination needs to be carried out in an oxygen-free or trace oxygen atmosphere, in order to obtain the catalyst product. 
         [0008]    CN94114194.2 discloses a method for preparing a catalyst with zinc oxide-modified γ-alumina as a support and with cobalt and molybdenum as active components. The method includes: to a certain amount of aqueous ammonia with a concentration of 15% to 28%, adding a desired amount of a cobalt salt, and adding a certain amount of ethylenediamine under continuous stirring, till the amount of ethylenediamine was 1/50 to 1/7 based on the weight of the cobalt salt; and then adding a desired amount of ammonium molybdate under continuous stirring, to prepare a Co-Mo co-impregnation solution; impregnating the preparative support in the co-impregnation solution in one step for 1 to 10 hours, drying for 2 to 6 hours at 110° C. to 150° C., calcinating for 3 to 8 hours at 480° C. to 600° C., to prepare the catalyst, which preferably includes 1 wt % to 5 wt % CoO, 8 wt % to 14 wt % MoO, 1 wt % to 15 wt % ZnO, and the remaining being γ-Al 2 O 3 . 
         [0009]    CN00130284.1 discloses a hydrorefining catalyst and method for preparing the same. The catalyst is prepared by impregnating an alumina support with a polymer and a Group IVB metal added, with a co-impregnation solution of ammonia containing molybdenum, cobalt, and nickel as active components. No detailed description of the process for formulating the impregnation solution is provided. 
         [0010]    Currently, it is a well-known technology to use aqueous ammonia as a solvent to dissolve Co and Mo active components; however, the effect of aqueous ammonia to increase the dispersion degree of active components is not significant. It is still a challenge how to formulate a clear and stable impregnation solution containing the active components with a low surface tension and low viscosity in a simple way, where the requirement of one-step isometric impregnation of multiple components needs to be met, and after impregnation, the active components needs to keep a high dispersion state. For direct dissolution of a cobalt salt in water or aqueous ammonia without heating, if the amount of solvent is controlled, the cobalt salt tends not to be completely dissolved, and an additional organic acid or base needs to be added to accelerate dissolution of cobalt. 
         [0011]    Because pyrolysis gasoline after two-stage hydrogenation is generally used as the raw material for aromatics extraction, the catalyst is required to have an excellent hydrogenation activity (bromine number of product of lower than 1.0 g Br 2 /100 g) and desulfurization activity (sulfur in product of lower than 1.0 μg/g), is also required to have a favorable selectivity for hydrogenation (avoiding loss in aromatic hydrogenation) and a favorable long-term operational performance. The catalysts for pyrolysis gasoline two-stage hydrogenation in current industrial units have a good hydrogenation activity and desulfurization activity, but suffered from insufficiency long-term operation capability, high loss rate in aromatic hydrogenation (above 2%), low high-load operation capability, and high production cost of catalyst, which influence the economic benefit of the unit. 
         [0012]    The above problems are caused by the following main reasons: 
         [0013]    (1) Due to poor dispersion of the active metal components on the catalyst, over-potent active center sites exist, resulting in high loss rate in aromatic hydrogenation, especially in benzene hydrogenation; 
         [0014]    (2) Since a certain amount of B-acid centers exist on the catalyst, while the amount of strong L-acid centers of L-acids is high, the catalyst is easily coked at a high temperature, so that bed pressure drop is increased, circulation of hydrogen is influenced, hydrogen compressor cannot work, and unqualified hydrogenated products is produced, resulting in shutdown and reproduction; 
         [0015]    (3) The specific surface and pore volume, especially the pore size distribution of the catalyst has great influence on the catalyst activity, so a suitable specific surface area, pore volume and pore size centralized in distribution are very important for mass transfer, heat transfer and diffusion; 
         [0016]    (4) In order to improve the catalyst activity, the content of the active components may be increased, but a problem of poor dispersion occurs. In view of this problem, multi-step impregnation may be used in the preparation process of the catalyst, that is, after one-step impregnation, drying and calcination are performed, and then next impregnation is performed. As a result, the preparation process is complex, and waste of energy is serious, resulting in increased production cost of the catalyst. 
         [0017]    Although one-step impregnation in which a complexing agent such as an organic acid, ammonia, or ethylenediamine is added in the formulation of the impregnation solution has been reported, addition of a large amount of macromolecular organic acid or base may make the subsequent calcination more difficult; and moreover, due to high volatility of ammonia, addition of ammonia may make the formulation of the impregnation solution more difficult, while the dispersion degree of the active components is not significantly increased. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0018]    The present invention is directed to a hydrorefining catalyst and a method for preparing the same, wherein the hydrorefining catalyst has a high dispersion degree of active components, high catalyst activity and selectivity, and high stability, and the preparation method is simple. 
         [0019]    The present invention provides a method for preparing a catalyst by one-step impregnation by using a basic impregnation solution formulated by a mixed solvent. 
         [0020]    A method for preparing a hydrorefining catalyst, wherein the catalyst includes active components supported on a support, the active components include cobalt and molybdenum. The method includes mixing an aqueous ammonia with a polyamine complexing agent to form a mixed solvent; adding a salt containing the active component cobalt to the mixed solvent and dissolving, and then adding a molybdenum salt or a molybdenum salt and a salt of other active components and promoters and dissolving, to prepare an impregnation solution; and impregnating a support with the impregnation solution, followed by aging, drying and activating the impregnated support to obtain a hydrorefining catalyst. 
         [0021]    When the mixed solvent formulated by adding polyamine complexing agent to aqueous ammonia is used to dissolve the cobalt salt, cobalt is directly complexed with the mixed solvent to form a cobalt coordinated complex, without a need to be dissolved in aqueous ammonia and then form a complex with the complexing agent, thereby promoting dissolution of the active components of the catalyst. 
         [0022]    In this method, in formulation of the impregnation solution, a nickel salt, a tungsten salt and/or a soluble alkali or carbonate compound of a Group IA element also may be optionally added. Generally, the pH value is preferably adjusted to be above 10. In this way, the formulated impregnation solution is clear and stable, and has a low surface tension and low viscosity. 
         [0023]    The impregnation solution is formulated at 20° C. to 30° C. without heating. The present invention is particularly useful in preparation of the catalyst containing multiple high-content active components, especially containing high-content cobalt and molybdenum, and in particular, by a method for preparing the catalyst by using one-step isometric impregnation to load the active components onto the support, so that the active components are highly dispersed on the catalyst, B-acid centers on the catalyst are effectively removed and strong L-acid centers are weakened. The isometric impregnation described in the present invention means that the amount of the impregnation solution is 70% to 130% of the pore volume of the catalyst support. 
         [0024]    In the present invention, polyamine complexing reagent may be one or more of EDTA, triethylenetetramine, triethanolamine and ethylenediamine, with ethylenediamine being preferred. The amount of polyamine complexing agent may vary with the amount of cobalt, which is not particularly limited in the present invention, and is preferably 5% to 10% (by volume) of the impregnation solution, because if the amount is too high, a large amount of organics may be decomposed in the process of calcination; and if the amount is too low, the effect of promoting dissolution of the active components and increasing the dispersion degree of the active components cannot be achieved. In formulation of the impregnation solution, the concentration of aqueous ammonia is not particularly limited in the present invention, provided that the active components can be completely dissolved according to the amount of the active components, so that the active components and polyamine as the complexing reagent are complexed to form stable complexes. Generally, after the active components are completely dissolved, a certain amount of aqueous ammonia may be added, so that the amount of the impregnation solution satisfies requirements for isometric impregnation. After the catalyst is treated by thermal activation, some ammonia molecules are still adsorbed on strong L-acid sites, so that the acidity of the catalyst is weakened, the hydrogenation selectivity and stability of the catalyst are improved, and especially the coking rate of catalyst in the reaction is decreased. The supports are impregnated by the method according to the present invention, aged and dried, to obtain the catalyst. No toxic gas is produced in the process of thermal activation of the catalyst, thus achieving one-step “green” preparation. Aging, drying and activation are all performed under the conditions in the prior art, which are not particularly limited in the present invention, and the activation temperature is preferably 350° C. to 600° C. 
         [0025]    In the present invention, the solvent used for dissolving the active components is aqueous ammonia with polyamine complexing agent added. By using the mixed solvent, on the one hand, the solubility of the active components in aqueous ammonia is increased, and the amount of aqueous ammonia is reduced; on the other hand, the dispersion degree of the active components on the catalyst is significantly increased due to the addition of polyamine complexing agent. 
         [0026]    The impregnation solution used in the present invention is a basic impregnation solution, which is formulated by, after the active components are dissolved, adjusting the pH value of the impregnation solution to be above 10, and preferably to be 10 to 12. The impregnation solution thus formulated is clear, stable, and has a low viscosity and good dispersion of active metals. 
         [0027]    In the present invention, the active component molybdenum is added in the form of ammonium molybdate, and the active component cobalt is added in the form of cobalt sulfate, cobalt halide, cobalt nitrate or cobalt acetate, preferably cobalt nitrate or/and cobalt acetate, because cobalt nitrate and cobalt acetate have high solubility, which is beneficial to distribution of the active components on the support. As an alkali metal promoter, soluble alkalis of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium may be selected, soluble carbonates of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium may also be selected. In the present invention, potassium promoters are preferred, and hydroxides are preferred, because due to addition of a hydroxide, the basicity of the impregnation solution is enhanced, so that the metal active components are complexed with polyamine complexing agent, thereby increasing the stability of the impregnation solution. At the same time, due to the addition of the alkali metal promoters, the acidity of the catalyst is adjusted, and the anti-coking performance of the catalyst is enhanced. 
         [0028]    In the present invention, the temperature conditions for preparation of the catalyst are not limited, preferably below 20° C. to 40° C., and the shaped alumina support is impregnated in the foregoing impregnation solution in one step, dried for 4 to 5 hours at 80° C. to120° C., and calcinated for 3 to 8 hours at 350° C. to 600° C., to obtain the catalyst. 
         [0029]    The support in the catalyst of the present invention is not specially limited, and a support for common supported hydrorefining catalysts, especially a support for cobalt or molybdenum supported hydrorefining catalysts, for example, a high-temperature resistant inorganic oxide such as alumina, silica, and alumina-silica, may be used. The support may be modified, with alumina supports being preferred. 
         [0030]    In the method according to the present invention, the specific composition of the catalyst is not limited and the formulation of the catalyst may be adjusted as required. Science the impregnation solution is prepared by using the mixed solvent of the present invention, and the active components include cobalt and molybdenum, the resulting catalysts have excellent effects, as compared with those prepared by other methods.

       INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY 
       [0063]    The conditions for catalyst presulphurization were as follows: adding carbon disulfide to cyclohexane to formulate a sulfurized oil (sulfur content: 1000 μg/g); charging hydrogen gas at a pressure of 2.8 MPa; when the temperature of a catalyst bed was raised to 240° C., feeding the sulfurized oil, continuously heating to 325° C. and maintaining at 325° C. for 30 hours, then cooling to 240° C. to end the sulfurization. 
         [0064]    The conditions for evaluation: reaction pressure of 2.8 MPa, inlet temperature of 280° C., volumetric space velocity of 3.0 h −1  for fresh feedstock oils, and hydrogen to oil volume ratio of 300:1 based on fresh oils. 
         [0065]    It can be seen from the evaluation results in Table 4 that, the catalyst preparation method according to the present invention can increase the dispersion degree of the active components of the catalysts, and enable the catalysts to have better activity and selectivity for hydrogenation. 
         [0066]    It can be seen from the evaluation results in Table 5 that, the catalyst preparation method according to the present invention can reduce the catalyst acidity, and enable the catalysts to have excellent carbon deposit resistance and excellent stability for hydrogenation. 
         [0067]    It can be seen from the evaluation results in Table 6 that, the catalysts prepared by the method for preparing the catalyst according to the present invention have high activities for hydrodesulfurization and denitrogenation. 
         [0068]    When used in hydrodesulfurization, the catalyst prepared by the method according to the present invention can hydrogenate saturated mono-olefin to a maximum extent, and meet requirements of petroleum products with variable contents of sulfur and diolefin and requirements of high-space velocity operation. The catalyst has a high hydrogenation activity, a high selectivity, a long operation time and an excellent anti-coking performance.
