Gas-Phase Reactions in Hydroupgrading of Model Petroleum Feed over Dispersed Ni–Mo Sulfide Catalysts under Water Gas Shift Reaction Conditions
摘要
The composition of gaseous products formed during hydroupgrading of a model feedstock containing benzothiophene and 2-methylnaphthalene over unsupported (dispersed) Ni–Mo sulfide catalysts under the water gas shift reaction conditions (reaction of carbon monoxide with water) was studied. The influence of the reaction conditions (Т = 340–400°C, Р = 5 MPa (at 25°C), t = 4–10 h) on the conversion of individual feed components and composition of gaseous products was examined. The process conditions ensure in situ hydrogen generation (Н2 content 25–30 vol %) and formation of hydrocarbon gases by methanation and hydrogenation of CO and СО2 (СН4 content up to 50 vol %, content of С2–С4 hydrocarbons 23–30 vol %). For the model feedstock with equimolar component ratio, at 360–380°C, CO pressure of 5 MPa (at 25°C), and water content of 10 wt %, the 2-methylnaphthalene conversion in 8–10 h does not exceed 30–34%, whereas for the benzothiophene it reaches 100% already in 4 h.
