Supercritical fluid CO2-extraction regeneration of nickel–molybdenum catalyst for hydrotreatment

Abstract

Results from studying the supercritical fluid СО2-extraction regeneration of DN-3531 industrial nickel–molybdenum hydrotreatment catalyst in the temperature range of 323.15–383.15 K, at pressures of up to 30 MPa, and with modification of the basic extragent with such polar compounds as chloroform, methanol, ethanol, acetone, and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), are presented. The order of modifiers corresponds to the increase in the solubilizing ability of modified supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-СО2) with respect to catalyst- deactivating deposits. With DMSO as the most efficient modifier, however, not only are deactivating compounds removed but nickel and molybdenum as well, considerably reducing the final activity of a regenerated sample. During extraction regeneration, the content of coke in the catalyst is reduced by two-thirds, while the specific surface area and the pore volume grow. The activity of the deactivated catalyst in dibenzothiophene hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and naphthalene hydrogenation grows by several hundred per cent after one-time SC-CO2 treatment and is 2.5 times higher than for a sample regenerated using the traditional oxidative method.
