摘要:
Improved supported hydroprocessing catalysts, and their method of preparation useful for the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of a petroleum feedstock, including a residuum hydrocarbon feedstock are disclosed. The Catalysts contain at least one Groups VIB metal component, at least one Group VIII metal component, and a phosphorus component, supported on a foraminous support such as alumina. The supported catalysts are characterized by a specific combination of properties, namely, the Group VIII metal to Phosphorous molar ratio, the Group VIII metal to Group VIB metal molar ratio, the phosphorous component to Group VIB component molar ratio and the median pore diameter. The resulting catalysts exhibit enhanced HDN without sacrificing to any significant degree the HDS activity.
摘要:
A chelated hydroprocessing catalyst exhibiting low moisture is obtained by heating an impregnated, calcined carrier to a temperature higher than 200 °C and less than a temperature and for a period of time that would cause substantial decomposition of the chelating agent.
摘要:
Stable catalyst carrier impregnating solutions can be prepared using a component of a Group VIB metal, e.g., molybdenum, at high concentration, a component of a Group VIII metal, e.g., nickel, at low concentration, and a phosphorous component, e.g., phosphoric acid, at low concentration, provided that the Group VIII metal is in a substantially water-insoluble form and a particular sequence of addition of the components is followed, even when a substantially water-insoluble form of the Group VIB component is used. The resulting stabilized impregnating solution can be supplemented with additional Group VIII metal in water-soluble form to achieve increased levels of such metal in the final catalyst. Furthermore, uncalcined catalyst carriers impregnated with stable solution and subsequently shaped, dried and calcined, have unexpectedly improved performance when used in the hydroprocessing of heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks. High conversion can be achieved at reduced levels of sediment, especially in comparison to standard commercial catalysts.
摘要:
Spheroidal catalyst support, supported catalyst, and method of preparing and using the catalyst for hydrodemetallation of metal-containing heavy oil feedstocks are disclosed. The catalyst supports comprise titania alumina having 5 wt % or less titania and have greater than 30% percent of their pore volume in pores having a diameter of between 200 and 500 Å. Catalysts prepared from the supports contain Group 6, 9 and 10 metals or metal compounds supported on the titania alumina supports. Catalysts in accordance with the invention exhibit improved catalytic activity and stability to remove metals from heavy feedstocks during a hydrotreating process. The catalysts also provide increased sulfur and MCR conversion during a hydrotreating process.
摘要:
Alumina support compositions comprising at least 0.1 wt % of silica are disclosed. The alumina support are characterized by a pore volume of greater than 0.60 cc/g, a median pore size ranging from about 70 to about 120, a pore size distribution such that at least 90% of the total pore volume falls within the range of about 20 to about 250, and a pore size distribution width of no less than about 40. Alumina compositions of the present invention exhibit a primary peak mode at a pore diameter less than the median pore diameter. Also provided are catalysts made from the alumina supports, and processes of preparing and using the supports and catalysts.
