Catalysis of the Metal Substituted Phosphyotungstic Heteropoly Compounds for Oxidative Desulphurization of Fuel Oil

With the development of economy, the demand of liquid fuels is increasing. SOx that generated in combustion of fuels results in acid rain. Moreover it poisons converted catalysts, which cause the environmental pollution. Therefore, in order to enhance the control of environmental pollution, more stringent standard for sulfur content in liquid fuels has been proposed in many countries. Because of high temperature, high hydrogen pressure, highly active catalyst and longer reaction time, the traditional hydrodesulfurization is facing the great challenges. Since the limitation above, it takes a great significance both on theoretical and practical on non-hydrodesulfurization. Above them the non-hydrodesulfurization, oxidative desulfurization is considered one of promising processes for its mild reaction condition, simple equipment design, and highly efficiency. Meanwhile, because of the simple preparation, the high catalytic activity and the environmental protection, heteropoly compound is becoming the hotspot of research and widely used in the area of catalysis.The different metal substituted phosphyotungstic heteropoly compounds were prepared by one-step method with sodium tungstate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, quaternary ammonium salt and then were applied to the experiments of fuel oil oxidative desulfurization by using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. Copper substituted phosphyotungstic heteropoly compound showed a relatively high catalytic activity. The structures of the compounds were characterized by IR and UV. Reaction conditions on the desulphurization of fuel oil were investigated. The results showed that taking [(C4H94N]4H[PW11CuO39] as catalyst, under the conditions of the dosage of catalyst 4.0% (the mass ratio of catalyst to model oil), the molar ratio of oxidant to oil 2.5 (the molar ratio of effective oxygen in oxidant to the sulfur of oil), the reaction temperature 60℃and reaction time 2h, the sulfur removal rate of model oil 1(A simulated oil 1 consists of model sulfur compound of thiophene and n-octane as solvent) reached 96.78%, under the conditions of the dosage of catalyst 10%, the molar ratio of oxidant to oil 27.5, the reaction temperature 70℃and reaction time 2.5h, the sulfur removal rate of FCC diesel was 60.85%; taking [(C16H33)N (CH33]4H[PW11CuO39] as catalyst, under the conditions of the dosage of catalyst 4.0%, the molar ratio of oxidant to oil 4.5, the reaction temperature 70℃and reaction time 2h, the sulfur removal rate of model oil 2(A simulated oil 2 consists of model sulfur compound of benzothiophene and n-octane as solvent) reached 98.39%, under the conditions of the dosage of catalyst 3.0%, the molar ratio of oxidant to oil 22, the reaction temperature 80℃and reaction time 2.5h, the sulfur removal rate of FCC diesel was 65.24%. The outcome realizes that the metal ions substituted phosphyotungstic heteropoly compounds we synthesized show relatively high catalytic activity.

The Investigation on Anti-coke and Catalyst of Steam Reforming of Kerosene

The kerosene has been used as an important fuel in the engine. In recent years, with the further research on kerosene, the hydrocarbon group of the kerosene is found cracking at a high temperature, and the coke formed will plug the pipeline and affect the normal operation of the engine.Therefore, higher thermal stability of the kerosne is requested in all countries. At this case, the reason for the coke formed below the 640K lies in its internal dissolved oxygen in the fuel, which plays a lead role in the reaction as the free radicals.But if we can decrease the concentration of the dissolved oxygen down to 1 ppm, by which the kerosene will maintain a relatively high thermal stability below 640K.In this article, the way of removing dissolved oxygen in the kerosen is disscused. We take three methods including the chemical, zeolite adsorption and Nitrogen Filling,and compare each other. The results show that Nitrogen Filling method is the most appropriate method nowadays. At the same time, we also discusses the use of chemicals analysis as a new and high-precision method for detecting the dissolved oxygen which can replace the analyzer for dissolving oxygen.kerosene of steam reforming is a strong endothermic reaction. On the one hand, the reaction can decrease the temperature in the system of the engine which reduces the damage to the engine. On the other hand, the reaction can produce high-efficiency, low-pollution hydrogen fuel which can result in higher efficiency, if it is applied in the engine. About the latent heat of kerosene, we discuss its hydrogen production efficiency in this paper. Because of the high thermal efficiency, storage and transportation convenience, it is used as a hydrogen material which has huge potential commercial value. Light hydrocarbon of steam reforming into hydrogen is the most economical, the most important industrial line.In this paper, the catalyst for steaming reforming into hydrogen is developed, supported by La- Ni-K/cordierite as the main body. We discusse the different conditions in the stability of catalyst and the efficiency of hydrogen production. The catalysts obtained under different calcination temperatures and different reaction temperatures are characterized by TG-DTG-SDTA, XRD and SEM techniques, respectively, and are tested in the fixed bed reactor. The experimental results indicate the catalyst, supported the promoter 5wt. %K2O, 25m. %NiO and 10wt. %La2O3, has excellent activity, stability and resistance to carbon deposition under 773 K of reaction temperature, 873 K of calcination temperature, 3 h-1 of space velocity and S/C=3.5.The catalyst has a good prospect in application.

Study on Modification of Co-Mo/γ-Al2O3 Catalysts and Selective Hydrodesulphurization for FCC Gasoline

In this paper, the CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalysts modified with the transition metal additives such as Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn were prepared. The influence of additive types and the modifying methods on physicochemical properties of the catalyst and selectivity of the desulfurization was studied. The physicochemical properties of catalyst have characterized by XRD, BET, Py-FTIR, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD and HRTEM techniques.Experimental results show that the CoMoZn/γ-Al2O3 catalysts prepared by co-impregnation method have better activity and selectivity for hydrodesulfurization of FCC gasoline. The optimized preparation condition is that the content of CoO plus MoO3 is 12.0 wt%, the atomic ratio of Zn/Mo is 1.0. XRD and HRTEM verify that Zn added in the catalyst promotes the dispersion of active metals on the surface of supports, therefore, the nanoparticle of MoS2 has a smaller size and slab lengh, so that the better HDS selectivity is reached. The passivation of CoMoZn/γ-Al2O3 catalysts with basic nitrogen compound quinoline is investigated to improve the activity and selectivity for hydrodesulfurization of FCC gasoline. It is verified from experimentals that the selective adsorption of quinoline on the surface of the catalyst may modify the ratio of active sites for desulfurization/hydrogenation, so that the selectivity for desulfurization is improved. Experimental results show that the adsorption of quinoline has little impact on activity for desulfurization, however, it inhibits the activity for hydrogenation of olefins. When HDS percentage reaches 82%-90%, hydrogenation percentage of olefin (HDO) is only 17.4%~21%, the octane number loss of the FCC gasoline is 1 to 2.In order to verify the practical activity, selectivity, stability as well as adaptability to different feedstocks and processing conditions of the catalyst for hydrodesulfurization of FCC gasoline furthermore, the CoMoZn/γ-Al2O3 catalysts are tested on a pilot flow hydrogenation reactor with catalyst capacity of 100ml. The results indicate that the catalyst has high activity for desulfurization, HDS percentage could reach over 85% at conditions of 280°C, 1.6MPa, hydrogen-to-oil ratio of 300:1 and LHSV of 4h-1. For HDS of Shengli and Shenghua FCC gasoline, the low sulfur gasoline with 150μg/g S which is accordant to EU III specification is reached. For HDS of Dagang FCC gasoline, the low sulfur gasoline with 50μg/g S which is accordant to EU IV specification is reached.In order to verify the feasibility of TMD process, the Co-Mo-Zn/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was applied to couple with the aromatization catalyst to processing Dalian FCC gasoline with high olefin and low aromatic contents. This work is finished on a pilot flow unit with three 100ml fixed bed reactors located in the Catalyst Factory of Fushun Petrochemical Company. Experiments show that it can reduce the total sulfur in gasoline feedstocks from 195.7μg/g to 72.1μg/g with RON loss 0.4 units. Therefore, the coupling of the selective HDS catalyst with the aromatization catalyst has better performance in processing high olefin gasoline to meet the requirement of removing sulfur and reducing olefin with little RON loss, so that TMD process has a bright prospect for commercialization.
