Description
【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は水素化処理触媒床及びこれを用いた重質炭化水素油の水素化処理方法に関し、より詳しくは、特定の物性を有する二段からなる水素化処理触媒床、及びこれを用いた重質炭化水素油の水素化処理方法に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
現在、酸性雨等からの環境保護のため、燃料油中の硫黄分は水素化精製処理により低減されており、そこで脱硫触媒が一般に使用されている。しかし、特に常圧残油、減圧残油等の重質油を原料として低硫黄重油を生産する場合において、触媒の脱硫性能の限界から触媒寿命は短く、１年未満となっている。したがって、１年以内で精製装置を停止し、触媒を交換せざるを得ない。また、一般に、より重質の原料油ほど安価であるため、より重質な原料油を通油した方が経済的に望ましいが、製品として硫黄分が同じ低硫黄重油を生産する場合、触媒劣化が著しく大きくなるために触媒寿命が短くなり、経済的に不利になる場合がある。
【０００３】
上記のように、重質油から低硫黄重油を生産する場合、灯軽油の水素化処理に比較して、硫黄分を低減するためには、運転初期から高い温度を必要とする。また、触媒の活性は時間とともに劣化していくため、製品の硫黄分の量を一定に維持するためには、運転温度を徐々に上げていく必要がある。特に、重質油にはバナジウム、ニッケルといった金属分が含まれ、反応中に触媒に堆積して活性を被毒するため、触媒の劣化が著しい。このため、１年以内に装置の上限温度に達し、触媒を交換することとなるわけである。また、より重質な原料油ほど、この金属分が多いため、触媒の劣化が著しく大きくなり、通油量が制限されるという問題がある。
【０００４】
この問題を解決するために、異なる触媒を組み合わせて使用する方法が提案されている。例えば、特開昭６１−２６６４９０号公報には、減圧軽油等のアスファルテンの含有量が２質量％未満である原料油を主に対象とする場合、前段にリンを多く含み、後段にリンを含まない触媒を組み合わせて使用する方法が開示されている。しかしながら、金属分を多く含む常圧残油、減圧残油等の重質油を原料とする場合、効果が不十分である。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記観点からなされたもので、原料油中に金属分を多く含む常圧残油、減圧残油等の重質油でも、触媒の運転期間の延長による原料油の増処理や触媒交換頻度の低減が可能な水素化処理触媒床及びそれを用いた重質炭化水素油の水素化処理方法を提供することを目的とするものである。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは鋭意研究の結果、上流側に脱金属活性が高く、また金属分の被毒に対する耐性が強い触媒を充填し、下流側に高脱硫活性が高い触媒を充填してなる水素化処理触媒床を使用することにより、上記本発明の目的を効果的に達成しうることを見出し本発明を完成したものである。

【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明について詳細に説明する。
本発明の水素化処理触媒床は、上流側触媒と下流側触媒からなり順次説明する。
上流側は周期律表第６族金属及び周期律表第８〜１０族金属並びに触媒基準で、酸化物基準で０．５〜３．０質量％のリンを担持し、平均細孔直径（ＰＤ）が１４０〜１８０Åの触媒からなる。
【００１０】
まず、担体としては、アルミナ、シリカ−アルミナが好ましく、特に、アルミナが好ましい。担体に担持する金属については、周期律表第６族金属として、モリブデン、タングステンなどを挙げることができるが、モリブデンが好ましい。第６族金属の担持量は、触媒基準で、酸化物基準で好ましくは４〜２５質量％、より好ましくは８〜２０質量％である。周期律表第８〜１０族の金属として、コバルト、ニッケルなどを挙げることができるが、ニッケルが好ましい。第８〜１０族金属の担持量は、触媒基準で、酸化物基準で好ましくは１〜８質量％、より好ましくは２〜５質量％である。また、その他の成分としては、リンが必要で、リンを添加すると、触媒の水素化活性が向上し、特に重質炭化水素油を原料とする場合においては、脱硫活性が向上する。その効果は添加量が、触媒基準で、酸化物基準で０．５〜３．０質量％で顕著となる。リンが多すぎると、通常のアルミナ担体上では、モリブデンと凝集酸化物を形成してしまい、モリブデンの分散性が低下してしまい、逆に脱硫活性が低下してしまう。また、触媒上に堆積する油中金属の堆積分布が変化し、触媒の外表面近傍に偏積してしまい、触媒劣化が大きくなるという問題もある。
【００１１】
上記触媒の平均細孔直径（ＰＤ）は１４０〜１８０Åであることが必要である。１４０Å未満であると、原料油中のバナジウム、ニッケルといった金属を除去する脱金属活性が小さくなり、下流側の脱硫触媒を保護することはできない。一方、１８０Åを超えると、担体の表面積が著しく小さくなって、その結果脱硫活性が著しく低下してしまい、下流側の高脱硫活性触媒と組み合わせても全体の脱硫活性が不足して運転温度が高くなりすぎる。
【００１２】
また、上記触媒の平均細孔直径（ＰＤ；Å）と比表面積（ＳＡ；ｍ2 ／ｇ）との関係において、下記式（１）を満足した方が好ましい。
ＳＡ＋１．６５ＰＤ ＞ ４１０ ・・・（１）
上記式（１）を満足しないと、金属分の触媒への堆積による活性被毒に対する耐性が弱くなる場合がある。
【００１３】
次に、上記触媒の製造方法について説明するが、担体としては好ましいアルミナを取り上げる。
アルミナ担体の製造方法は特に限定されないが、水溶性酸性アルミナ塩の水溶液に塩基を添加するか、水溶性塩基性アルミナ塩の水溶液に酸を添加するか、水溶性酸性アルミナ塩の水溶液と水溶性塩基性アルミナ塩の水溶液を混合して得られるゲルを、熟成、乾燥、焼成することによって得られる。
【００１４】
上記の水溶性酸性アルミナ塩として、硫酸アルミニウム，硝酸アルミニウム等を挙げることができ、水溶性塩基アルミナ塩として、アルミン酸ソーダ等を挙げることができる。
上記のアルミナゲルの生成は、一般に５０〜９０℃の温度で行う。
生成したゲルの熟成方法については、一般には、混合時と同じ温度にて酸性及びアルカリ性溶液を交互に加える操作（スイング）を、ｐＨ３．３〜９．３の間で１０回以上、好ましくは１３回以上行うことによって行うことができる。また、ｐＨ１０以上にて温度１２５℃以上、好ましくはｐＨ１１以上にて温度１３０℃以上で、一定の時間攪拌する方法（高温熟成法）を用いることもできる。これをスイング法と組み合わせてもよい。熟成した沈殿を８０〜２００℃（好ましくは１００〜１６０℃）で乾燥させ、４００〜７００℃（好ましくは５００〜６００℃）で焼成する。
【００１５】
なお、上記触媒の平均細孔直径（ＰＤ）を１４０〜１８０Åにする必要があるが、上記のアルミナの熟成において、スイングの回数や熟成時間を調整すればよい。
また、望ましい触媒物性として、前記式（１）を満足するために、アルミナゲルの乾燥条件、押出成型条件等を調整すればよい。例えば、アルミナゲルを乾燥して押出成型する際、加熱しながら捏和して水分を調整する方法などを挙げることができる。
【００１６】
以上のようにして得られたアルミナ担体に、以下の方法で金属を担持することができる。担持法は含浸法が好ましい。周期律表第６族のモリブデン化合物としては、三酸化モリブデン，パラモリブデン酸アンモニウム等が使用され、タングステン化合物としては、三酸化タングステン，タングステン酸アンモニウム等が使用される。また、周期律表第８〜１０族のニッケル化合物としては、硝酸ニッケル，塩基性炭酸ニッケル等が使用され、コバルト化合物としては、硝酸コバルト，塩基性炭酸コバルト等が使用される。さらに、リン化合物としては、五酸化リン，リン酸等が使用される。上記の金属化合物を、周期律表第６族金属は０．７〜４．３モル／リットル、周期律表第８〜１０族の金属は０．３〜２．４モル／リットル、リン化合物は０．１〜１．０モル／リットルの割合で純水に溶解させ、さらに沸点又は分解温度２００℃以上の水溶性有機化合物を５０〜２００ｇ／リットルの割合で溶解させたものを含浸液とし、担体に吸水率と等量になるように調整後含浸させる方が好ましい。その沸点又は分解温度２００℃以上の水溶性有機化合物として、１，３−ブタンジオール，１，４−ブタンジオール，ポリエチレングリコール，ポリオキシエチレンフェニルエーテル，ポリオキシエチレンオクチルフェニルエーテル等のエーテル基含有水溶性高分子、ポリビニルアルコール等のアルコール水溶性高分子、サッカロース，グリコース等の各種糖類、メチルセルロース，水溶性でんぷん等の水溶性多糖類及びこれらの誘導体を使用することができるが、分子量４００以上のポリエチレングリコールが最も好ましい。沸点又は分解温度２００℃以上の水溶性有機化合物を使用することにより、金属の担体での凝集を抑制することができる。
【００１７】
なお、含浸液のｐＨ調整は特に限定されないが、硝酸，塩酸，硫酸等の無機酸、りんご酸，エチレンジアミン４酢酸等の有機酸、アンモニアなどを使用して行うことができる。含浸後乾燥、焼成するが、乾燥温度は通常８０〜２００℃（好ましくは１００〜１５０℃）、焼成温度は通常３００〜６００℃（好ましくは４００〜５５０℃）である。焼成温度が低すぎると、担持成分と担体と十分な結合を持つことができない場合があり、高すぎると、担持成分の凝集が起こり易くなる。
【００１８】
次に、下流側は周期律表第６族金属及び周期律表第８〜１０族金属並びに触媒基準で、酸化物基準で３．０〜８．０質量％のリンを担持し、平均細孔直径（ＰＤ）が１４０Å未満の触媒からなる。
担体としては、上流側の触媒と同じくアルミナが好ましい。担体に担持する金属の種類と量は上流側と同様であるが、リンの量が上流側に比較して高い。リンを添加すると、触媒の水素化活性が向上し、特に重質炭化水素油を原料とする場合においては、脱硫活性が向上する。その効果は添加量が、触媒基準で、酸化物基準で３．０〜８．０質量％で顕著となる。リンが多すぎると、通常のアルミナ担体上では、モリブデンと凝集酸化物を形成してしまい、モリブデンの分散性が低下してしまい、逆に脱硫活性が低下してしまう。
【００１９】
上記触媒の平均細孔直径（ＰＤ）は１４０Å未満であることが必要である。１４０Å以上であると、表面積が小さくなりすぎるために、十分な脱硫活性を得ることができない。
また、上記触媒の平均細孔直径（ＰＤ；Å）と比表面積（ＳＡ；ｍ2 ／ｇ）との関係において、下記式（２）を満足した方が好ましい。
【００２０】
ＳＡ＋１．６５ＰＤ ≦ ４１０ ・・・（２）
上記式（２）を満足すると、上流側の触媒と異なり、金属分の触媒への堆積による活性被毒に対する耐性がさらに強くなる。
次に、上記触媒の製造方法について説明する。担体としては上流側の触媒と同様にアルミナが好ましい。
【００２１】
アルミナの製法については、上流側の場合と比べて、ゲルの熟成の段階で、スイングの回数を少なくしたり、熟成時間を短くする必要がある。そうすることによって、触媒の平均細孔直径を１４０Å未満にすることができる。
また、望ましい触媒物性として、前記式（２）を満足するために、アルミナゲルの乾燥条件、押出成型条件等を調整すればよい。例えば、アルミナゲルを水に懸濁させ、そのスラリーを２００〜３００℃の雰囲気へ噴霧して乾燥する方法（スプレードライ法）等がある。
【００２２】
アルミナ担体に金属を担持する方法については、リンの濃度を０．７〜２．０モル／リットルと増やしたこと以外は上流側触媒の製造方法と同様である。
本発明の水素化処理触媒床は、上流側の触媒充填割合５〜９５容量％に対して、下流側の触媒充填割合９５〜５容量％である。好ましくは、上流側の触媒充填割合１０〜９０容量％に対して、下流側の触媒充填割合９０〜１０容量％である。
【００２３】
次に、本発明の水素化処理触媒床を用いて水素化処理を行う際には、予め安定化処理として予備硫化を行うことが望ましい。この予備硫化処理の条件は特に限定されないが、通常、予備硫化剤として、硫化水素，二硫化炭素，チオフェン，ジメチルジスルフィド等を挙げることができ、軽油等に予備硫化剤を混合した予備硫化油を使用するのが一般的である。処理温度は２００〜４００℃、水素分圧は常圧〜３０ＭＰａの範囲で行われる。
【００２４】
触媒の形状については、特に重質炭化水素油の水素化処理に使用される触媒は、通常押出成形で製造されるものが多く、その形状は実質的に柱状をしている。その断面は円形のものが多いが、三葉型、四葉型など外表面を多くする工夫のあるものもある。また、球状触媒もよく用いられる。球状触媒は圧縮強度や耐磨耗性が特に要求される場合に使用される。
【００２５】
水素化処理条件については、原料油の種類や目的により異なるが、一般的には反応温度２００〜５５０℃（好ましくは２２０〜５００℃）、水素分圧５〜３０ＭＰａ（好ましくは１０〜２５ＭＰａ）の範囲で行われる。
反応形式は特に限定されないが、通常は、固定床，移動床，沸騰床，懸濁床等の種々のプロセスから選択できるが、固定床が好ましい。
【００２６】
固定床の場合の温度、圧力以外の反応条件としては、液空間速度（ＬＨＳＶ）は０．０５〜１０ｈｒ-1（好ましくは０．１〜５ｈｒ-1）、水素／オイル比は５００〜２，５００Ｎｍ3 ／ｋｌ（好ましくは７００〜２，０００Ｎｍ3 ／ｋｌ）である。
本願の第二発明は、前記水素化処理触媒床を用いた重質炭化水素油の水素化処理方法である。
【００２７】
該重質炭化水素として、常圧残油，減圧残油，減圧軽油，脱蝋減圧残油，アスファルテン油，タールサンド油及びこれらを一旦予備的に水素化処理した残油を挙げることができる。原料油の性状として、特に限定されないが、代表的な性状としては下記のとおりである。
比重（１５／４℃）：０．９６４０〜０．９９４０
動粘度（５０℃）：３００〜３，０００ｍｍ2 ／ｓ
硫黄分：２．８〜４．５質量％

金属分（Ｖ＋Ｎｉ）：２０〜１５０ｐｐｍ
残炭分：５〜１８質量％
アスファルテン分：０．５〜１２．０質量％
反応条件としては、上記の原料油を、以上で述べた水素化処理触媒床を充填して水素化処理してもよいが、より高脱硫活性で長寿命な触媒にするために、さらに上流側にアルミナ担体に周期律表第６族の少なくとも一種の金属及び周期律表第８〜１０族から選ばれる少なくとも一種の金属を担持した脱金属触媒を用い、下流側に本発明の水素化処理触媒床を用いた触媒システムにすればよい。
【００２８】
上記の上流側に使用する脱金属触媒の物性等の例を下記に示す。
周期律表第６族の金属として、モリブデン、タングステンなどを挙げることができるが、モリブデンが好ましい。第６族金属の担持量は、触媒基準で、酸化物基準で２〜１５質量％、好ましくは４〜１２質量％である。周期律表第８〜１０族の金属として、コバルト、ニッケルなどを挙げることができるが、ニッケルが好ましい。第８〜１０族金属の担持量は、触媒基準で、酸化物基準で１〜４質量％、好ましくは１．５〜２．５質量％である。担体としては、アルミナが望ましく、触媒の細孔径は１７０〜２５０Å（好ましくは１８０〜２２０Å）、比表面積は、８０〜２００ｍ2 ／ｇ（好ましくは１００〜１８０ｍ2 ／ｇ）、細孔容積は０．４〜１．０ｃｃ／ｇ（好ましくは０．５〜０．９ｃｃ／ｇ）である。
【００２９】
脱金属触媒と本発明の水素化処理触媒床の充填割合は、通常、脱金属触媒が１０〜４０容量％（好ましくは１５〜３０容量％）に対して、本発明の水素化処理触媒床は９０〜６０容量％（好ましくは８５〜７０容量％）である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hydrotreating catalyst bed and a method for hydrotreating heavy hydrocarbon oil using the same, and more particularly, to a hydrotreating catalyst bed having two specific stages and a heavy catalyst using the same. The present invention relates to a method for hydrotreating a hydrocarbon oil.
[0002]
[Prior art]
At present, in order to protect the environment from acid rain and the like, the sulfur content in fuel oil is reduced by hydrorefining treatment, and therefore, a desulfurization catalyst is generally used. However, particularly in the case of producing low-sulfur heavy oil using heavy oil such as atmospheric residual oil and reduced-pressure residual oil as a raw material, the catalyst life is short and less than one year due to the limit of the desulfurization performance of the catalyst. Therefore, the refiner must be stopped and the catalyst replaced within one year. In general, heavier feedstocks are less expensive, so it is economically preferable to feed heavier feedstocks. However, when producing low-sulfur heavy oils with the same sulfur content as products, catalyst degradation Is extremely large, which shortens the catalyst life and may be economically disadvantageous.
[0003]
As described above, when low-sulfur heavy oil is produced from heavy oil, a higher temperature is required from the beginning of operation in order to reduce the sulfur content compared to kerosene oil hydrotreatment. Further, since the activity of the catalyst deteriorates with time, it is necessary to gradually increase the operating temperature in order to keep the amount of sulfur in the product constant. In particular, heavy oil contains metal components such as vanadium and nickel, and deposits on the catalyst during the reaction to poison the activity. For this reason, the upper limit temperature of the apparatus is reached within one year, and the catalyst is replaced. In addition, the heavier raw material oil has more metal, so there is a problem that the deterioration of the catalyst is remarkably increased and the amount of oil passing is limited.
[0004]
In order to solve this problem, a method of using a combination of different catalysts has been proposed. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-266490, when mainly the raw material oil whose content of asphaltenes such as vacuum gas oil is less than 2% by mass, the front stage contains a lot of phosphorus and the rear stage contains phosphorus. Disclosed is a method of using no catalyst in combination. However, when heavy oil such as atmospheric residual oil and reduced pressure residual oil containing a large amount of metal is used as a raw material, the effect is insufficient.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above, and even in heavy oil such as atmospheric residual oil and reduced-pressure residual oil containing a large amount of metal in the raw oil, the raw oil can be increased by extending the operation period of the catalyst or the catalyst. It is an object of the present invention to provide a hydrotreating catalyst bed capable of reducing the exchange frequency and a method of hydrotreating heavy hydrocarbon oil using the catalyst bed.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of diligent research, the present inventors have filled a catalyst with high demetallation activity on the upstream side and a strong resistance against poisoning of metal, and hydrogenation with a catalyst having high desulfurization activity on the downstream side. The inventors have found that the object of the present invention can be effectively achieved by using a treated catalyst bed, and have completed the present invention.

And a hydrogenation catalyst comprising an average pore diameter (PD) of less than 140 mm, wherein the upstream catalyst filling ratio is 5 to 95% by volume and the downstream catalyst filling ratio is 95 to 9% by volume. Treatment catalyst bed.
2. Average pore diameter (PD; Å) and specific surface area (SA; m) of the catalyst2/ G) The hydrotreating catalyst bed as described in 1 above, wherein the upstream catalyst satisfies the following formula (1) and the downstream catalyst satisfies the following formula (2).
[0008]
SA + 1.65PD> 410 (1)

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is described in detail below.
The hydrotreating catalyst bed of the present invention is composed of an upstream catalyst and a downstream catalyst, which will be described sequentially.
The upstream side carries 0.5 to 3.0% by mass of phosphorus on the basis of oxide, based on periodic table group 6 metal and periodic table groups 8 to 10 metal and catalyst, and has an average pore diameter (PD ) Consists of 140 to 180 liters of catalyst.
[0010]
First, as the carrier, alumina and silica-alumina are preferable, and alumina is particularly preferable. With respect to the metal supported on the carrier, examples of the Group 6 metal of the periodic table include molybdenum and tungsten. Molybdenum is preferred. The supported amount of the Group 6 metal is preferably 4 to 25% by mass, more preferably 8 to 20% by mass based on the oxide, based on the catalyst. Examples of metals in Groups 8 to 10 of the periodic table include cobalt and nickel, with nickel being preferred. The amount of the Group 8-10 metal supported is preferably 1 to 8% by mass, more preferably 2 to 5% by mass based on the oxide, based on the catalyst. Further, as other components, phosphorus is required. When phosphorus is added, the hydrogenation activity of the catalyst is improved, and particularly when heavy hydrocarbon oil is used as a raw material, the desulfurization activity is improved. The effect becomes significant when the addition amount is 0.5 to 3.0% by mass on the basis of the catalyst and on the basis of the oxide. When there is too much phosphorus, aggregated oxides are formed with molybdenum on a normal alumina support, dispersibility of molybdenum is lowered, and desulfurization activity is lowered. Further, there is a problem that the deposition distribution of the metal in oil deposited on the catalyst changes and accumulates in the vicinity of the outer surface of the catalyst, resulting in a large deterioration of the catalyst.
[0011]
The catalyst must have an average pore diameter (PD) of 140 to 180 mm. If it is less than 140%, the demetallation activity for removing metals such as vanadium and nickel in the feedstock oil becomes small, and the downstream desulfurization catalyst cannot be protected. On the other hand, if it exceeds 180 mm, the surface area of the carrier is remarkably reduced, and as a result, the desulfurization activity is remarkably reduced. Even when combined with the downstream high desulfurization activity catalyst, the overall desulfurization activity is insufficient and the operating temperature is high. Too much.
[0012]
Further, the average pore diameter (PD; Å) and specific surface area (SA; m) of the above catalyst.2/ G), it is preferable to satisfy the following formula (1).
SA + 1.65PD> 410 (1)
If the above formula (1) is not satisfied, the resistance to active poisoning due to deposition of metal on the catalyst may be weakened.
[0013]
Next, although the manufacturing method of the said catalyst is demonstrated, a preferable alumina is taken up as a support | carrier.
The production method of the alumina carrier is not particularly limited, but a base is added to the aqueous solution of the water-soluble acidic alumina salt, an acid is added to the aqueous solution of the water-soluble basic alumina salt, or the aqueous solution of the water-soluble acidic alumina salt and the water-soluble A gel obtained by mixing an aqueous solution of a basic alumina salt is obtained by aging, drying and firing.
[0014]
Examples of the water-soluble acidic alumina salt include aluminum sulfate and aluminum nitrate, and examples of the water-soluble basic alumina salt include sodium aluminate.
The production of the alumina gel is generally performed at a temperature of 50 to 90 ° C.
Regarding the aging method of the generated gel, generally, an operation (swing) in which an acidic solution and an alkaline solution are alternately added at the same temperature as at the time of mixing is performed 10 times or more between pH 3.3 and 9.3, preferably 13 times. It can be done by doing more than once. Further, a method of stirring at a temperature of 125 ° C. or higher at a pH of 10 or higher, preferably 130 ° C. or higher at a pH of 11 or higher (high temperature aging method) can be used. This may be combined with the swing method. The aged precipitate is dried at 80 to 200 ° C. (preferably 100 to 160 ° C.) and calcined at 400 to 700 ° C. (preferably 500 to 600 ° C.).
[0015]
The average pore diameter (PD) of the catalyst needs to be 140 to 180 mm. In the aging of the alumina, the number of swings and the aging time may be adjusted.
Moreover, what is necessary is just to adjust the drying conditions, extrusion molding conditions, etc. of an alumina gel, in order to satisfy said Formula (1) as a desired catalyst physical property. For example, when alumina gel is dried and extruded, a method of kneading while heating to adjust the moisture can be used.
[0016]
A metal can be supported on the alumina support obtained as described above by the following method. The supporting method is preferably an impregnation method. As the molybdenum compound of Group 6 of the periodic table, molybdenum trioxide, ammonium paramolybdate or the like is used, and as the tungsten compound, tungsten trioxide, ammonium tungstate or the like is used. Moreover, nickel nitrate, basic nickel carbonate, etc. are used as a nickel compound of Group 8-10 of a periodic table, and cobalt nitrate, basic cobalt carbonate, etc. are used as a cobalt compound. Furthermore, phosphorus pentoxide, phosphoric acid, etc. are used as a phosphorus compound. In the metal compound, the group 6 metal of the periodic table is 0.7 to 4.3 mol / liter, the metal of the group 8 to 10 of the periodic table is 0.3 to 2.4 mol / liter, and the phosphorus compound is What was dissolved in pure water at a rate of 0.1 to 1.0 mol / liter, and further dissolved a water-soluble organic compound having a boiling point or a decomposition temperature of 200 ° C. or higher at a rate of 50 to 200 g / liter was used as an impregnating solution, It is preferable to impregnate the support after adjustment so as to be equivalent to the water absorption rate. As a water-soluble organic compound having a boiling point or a decomposition temperature of 200 ° C. or higher, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, polyethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene phenyl ether, polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether, or other ether group-containing water-soluble Water-soluble polymers such as water-soluble polymers such as water-soluble polymers, polyvinyl alcohol and the like, various sugars such as saccharose and glycolose, methylcellulose, water-soluble starch and the like, and polyethylene having a molecular weight of 400 or more. Glycol is most preferred. By using a water-soluble organic compound having a boiling point or decomposition temperature of 200 ° C. or higher, aggregation on a metal carrier can be suppressed.
[0017]
The pH adjustment of the impregnating solution is not particularly limited, but can be performed using an inorganic acid such as nitric acid, hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, an organic acid such as malic acid or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, ammonia or the like. After impregnation, drying and firing are performed, and the drying temperature is usually 80 to 200 ° C. (preferably 100 to 150 ° C.), and the firing temperature is usually 300 to 600 ° C. (preferably 400 to 550 ° C.). If the calcination temperature is too low, the supported component and the carrier may not be sufficiently bonded. If it is too high, aggregation of the supported component tends to occur.
[0018]
Next, the downstream side carries 3.0 to 8.0% by mass of phosphorus on the basis of oxide based on the periodic table group 6 metal and the periodic table group 8 to 10 metal and catalyst basis, and the average pores It consists of a catalyst with a diameter (PD) of less than 140 mm.
As the support, alumina is preferable as in the upstream catalyst. The type and amount of metal supported on the carrier is the same as that on the upstream side, but the amount of phosphorus is higher than that on the upstream side. When phosphorus is added, the hydrogenation activity of the catalyst is improved, and particularly when heavy hydrocarbon oil is used as a raw material, the desulfurization activity is improved. The effect becomes remarkable when the addition amount is 3.0 to 8.0% by mass on the basis of the catalyst and on the basis of the oxide. When there is too much phosphorus, aggregated oxides are formed with molybdenum on a normal alumina support, dispersibility of molybdenum is lowered, and desulfurization activity is lowered.
[0019]
The catalyst should have an average pore diameter (PD) of less than 140 mm. When it is 140 mm or more, since the surface area becomes too small, sufficient desulfurization activity cannot be obtained.
Further, the average pore diameter (PD; Å) and specific surface area (SA; m) of the above catalyst.2/ G), it is preferable that the following formula (2) is satisfied.
[0020]
SA + 1.65PD ≦ 410 (2)
When the above formula (2) is satisfied, unlike the upstream catalyst, the resistance to active poisoning due to the deposition of metal on the catalyst is further enhanced.
Next, the manufacturing method of the said catalyst is demonstrated. As the support, alumina is preferable as in the upstream catalyst.
[0021]
As for the production method of alumina, it is necessary to reduce the number of swings or shorten the aging time at the stage of aging of the gel as compared with the case of the upstream side. By doing so, the average pore diameter of the catalyst can be less than 140 mm.
Moreover, what is necessary is just to adjust the drying conditions, extrusion molding conditions, etc. of an alumina gel, in order to satisfy said Formula (2) as desired catalyst physical property. For example, there is a method (spray drying method) in which alumina gel is suspended in water and the slurry is sprayed into an atmosphere of 200 to 300 ° C. and dried.
[0022]
The method for supporting the metal on the alumina support is the same as the method for producing the upstream catalyst except that the phosphorus concentration is increased to 0.7 to 2.0 mol / liter.
The hydrotreating catalyst bed of the present invention has a downstream catalyst filling ratio of 95 to 5% by volume with respect to an upstream catalyst filling ratio of 5 to 95% by volume. Preferably, the catalyst filling rate on the downstream side is 90 to 10% by volume with respect to the catalyst filling rate on the upstream side of 10 to 90% by volume.
[0023]
Next, when hydrotreating using the hydrotreating catalyst bed of the present invention, it is desirable to perform preliminary sulfidation in advance as a stabilizing treatment. The conditions for this preliminary sulfidation treatment are not particularly limited, but normally, as the preliminary sulfidizing agent, hydrogen sulfide, carbon disulfide, thiophene, dimethyl disulfide and the like can be mentioned. It is common to use. The treatment temperature is 200 to 400 ° C., and the hydrogen partial pressure is in the range of normal pressure to 30 MPa.
[0024]
As for the shape of the catalyst, in particular, many of the catalysts used for the hydrogenation treatment of heavy hydrocarbon oils are usually produced by extrusion molding, and the shape thereof is substantially columnar. The cross-section is often circular, but there are also devices that devise to increase the outer surface such as a trilobal type and a four-leaf type. Also, spherical catalysts are often used. Spherical catalysts are used when compression strength and wear resistance are particularly required.
[0025]
The hydrotreating conditions vary depending on the type and purpose of the feedstock, but generally the reaction temperature is 200 to 550 ° C. (preferably 220 to 500 ° C.) and the hydrogen partial pressure is 5 to 30 MPa (preferably 10 to 25 MPa). Done in a range.
Although the reaction mode is not particularly limited, it can be usually selected from various processes such as a fixed bed, a moving bed, a boiling bed, and a suspension bed, but a fixed bed is preferable.
[0026]
As reaction conditions other than temperature and pressure in the case of a fixed bed, the liquid space velocity (LHSV) is 0.05 to 10 hr.-1(Preferably 0.1-5 hr-1), Hydrogen / oil ratio is 500-2500 NmThree/ Kl (preferably 700 to 2,000 NmThree/ Kl).
The second invention of the present application is a method for hydrotreating heavy hydrocarbon oil using the hydrotreating catalyst bed.
[0027]
Examples of the heavy hydrocarbon include atmospheric residual oil, vacuum residual oil, vacuum gas oil, dewaxed vacuum residual oil, asphaltene oil, tar sand oil, and residual oil obtained by temporarily hydrotreating these. The properties of the feed oil are not particularly limited, but typical properties are as follows.
Specific gravity (15/4 ° C.): 0.9640 to 0.9940
Kinematic viscosity (50 ° C.): 300 to 3,000 mm2/ S
Sulfur content: 2.8 to 4.5% by mass
Nitrogen content: 1,500-4,200 ppm
Metal content (V + Ni): 20 to 150 ppm
Residual carbon content: 5 to 18% by mass
Asphaltene content: 0.5-12.0% by mass
As the reaction conditions, the above-mentioned feed oil may be hydrotreated by filling the hydrotreating catalyst bed described above, but in order to obtain a catalyst with higher desulfurization activity and longer life, further upstream side In addition, a demetallation catalyst in which at least one metal selected from Group 6 of the periodic table and at least one metal selected from Groups 8 to 10 of the periodic table is supported on an alumina support, and the hydroprocessing catalyst of the present invention is provided downstream. A catalyst system using a bed may be used.
[0028]
Examples of physical properties of the demetallation catalyst used on the upstream side are shown below.
Examples of the metal of Group 6 of the periodic table include molybdenum and tungsten, but molybdenum is preferable. The amount of the Group 6 metal supported is 2 to 15% by mass, preferably 4 to 12% by mass based on the oxide, based on the catalyst. Examples of metals in Groups 8 to 10 of the periodic table include cobalt and nickel, with nickel being preferred. The supported amount of the Group 8-10 metal is 1 to 4% by mass, preferably 1.5 to 2.5% by mass based on the oxide, based on the catalyst. As the support, alumina is desirable, the pore diameter of the catalyst is 170 to 250 mm (preferably 180 to 220 mm), and the specific surface area is 80 to 200 m.2/ G (preferably 100 to 180 m2/ G) and the pore volume is 0.4 to 1.0 cc / g (preferably 0.5 to 0.9 cc / g).
[0029]
The filling ratio of the demetallation catalyst and the hydrotreating catalyst bed of the present invention is usually 10 to 40% by volume (preferably 15 to 30% by volume) of the demetallized catalyst, while the hydrotreating catalyst bed of the present invention is 90 to 60% by volume (preferably 85 to 70% by volume).
