22、tory for review.6. CPS Method6.1 Summary of PracticeA fresh FCC catalyst is impreg-nated with nickel, or vanadium, or both. Nickel and vanadiumlevels are controlled by a predetermined concentration for thesample. The catalyst is wetted with a mixture of pentane andnickel, or vanadium naphthenate, or

23、 solutions of both and thenmixed to dryness. After drying, the sample is thermally treatedto remove residual naphthenates. The sample is then ready forhydrothermal treatment of analysis as desired.6.2 Procedure:6.2.1 Catalyst Pre-treatment Before ImpregnationFor amuffle furnace pre-treatment (standa

24、rd), place the sample in adish using a shallow bed (12 in. maximum). Calcine the samplefor1hat204C 400F, then3hat593C 1100F. Thesample is then removed and allowed to cool to room tempera-ture. Catalyst should be returned to a sealed container as soonas it is cool.6.2.2 Steam Deactivation Pre-treatme

25、ntTypical condi-tions included hydrothermal treatment for2hat816C1500F, 100 % steam, and 0 psi. The catalyst is charged to apipe reactor, fluidized in air, and then lowered over a 3-h periodinto a 816C 1500F sand bath furnace. Air flow is switchedoff and steam introduced for 2 h. The reactor is then

26、 removedfrom the furnace and allowed to cool to room temperatureunder a nitrogen purge.6.2.3 Preparation of Nickel and Vanadium MixtureThedesired nickel/vanadium levels are calculated for the quantityof sample to be impregnated. The mass of nickel or vanadiumnaphthenate used to obtain the desired le

27、vels on the catalystsample are determined as follows:N 5 T/S 3W (1)where:N = naphthenate (nickel or vanadium mass used to obtainthe desired metal level on the catalyst),T = target level (the desired mass percent of nickel orvanadium, or both, to be loaded on the catalyst),S = metal solution (the kno

28、wn mass percent of nickel orvanadium in the naphthenate solution), andW = mass of catalyst sample to be impregnated.6.2.4 Impregnation:6.2.4.1 Catalyst is poured into an evaporating dish. The dishshall be large enough to allow for a catalyst bed height of12 in.6.2.4.2 Slowly pour the dissolved metal

29、s solution into thedish with catalyst while mixing at the same time. Wash theresidual naphthenate from the glass beaker with pentane andadd the wash to the catalyst.6.2.4.3 Stir the sample with a spoonula until it is completelydry. The appearance of very small lumps in the catalyst afterdrying is no

30、rmal. Large lumps indicate improper drying andshall be avoided. This can be done by adding enough pentaneto moisten the catalyst then repeating the stirring process. Highlevels of vanadium naphthenate will cause the sample to appeargummy and is normal.6.2.4.4 High Levels of Vanadium NaphthenateWhen

31、animpregnation calls for more than 5000 ppm vanadium, theimpregnation should be done in two steps. Otherwise, thevolume of naphthenate will overwhelm the volume of catalystused, affecting the accuracy in reaching the target level. If over5000 ppm vanadium is required, divide the required volume ofva

32、nadium naphthenate in half, impregnate, post-treat, andimpregnate again by adding the second half followed by asecond post-treat. If nickel is also requested, this should bedivided and added to the catalyst along with the vanadium.D7206/D7206M 06 (2013)126.2.4.5 Antimony AdditionIf antimony is reque

33、sted, triph-enylantimony is added to the catalyst after the nickel andvanadium have been added and the post treatment has beencompleted. The impregnation procedure is the same as thenickel and vanadium impregnation except that cyclohexane isused instead of pentane.Antimony will not dissolve in penta

34、ne.6.2.5 Catalyst Post-treatment After ImpregnationAfter theimpregnated sample has dried, it is placed in a vented mufflefurnace and heat treated to remove the naphthenates and cokeformed. The dishes are placed in the furnace at room tempera-ture and the temperature is raised to 204C 400F and held a

35、ttemperature for 1 h. The sample is then calcined at 593C1100F for 3 h before being removed and allowed to cool toroom temperature.6.2.6 Steam DeactivationSeveral methods exist, each re-quiring specific conditions. An example of such a method isshown in Table 1.7. Crack-on Approach 1: Alternating Cr

36、acking andDeactivation Cycles7.1 Summary of Practice:7.1.1 The crack-on units consist of a fluid bed reactor witha fritted gas distributor on the bottom. Nitrogen, air, steam andother specialty gasses can be fed through the bottom. Oil canbe delivered either from the top or bottom of the reactordepe

37、nding on the method. Temperature is controlled by a threezone electric furnace. A disengaging section on the top of thereactor prevents catalyst loss during operation.7.1.2 The crack-on method involves depositing metals onthe catalyst at cracking temperature using a feed with enhancedmetals content.

38、 The catalyst is regenerated after each crackingcycle.7.1.3 In Crack-on Approach 1, the catalyst is subjected tosevere hydrothermal deactivation after each cracking andregeneration cycle. By this method, significant deactivation hastaken place by the time the metals addition is complete.7.2 Procedur

39、e:7.2.1 Preparation of the CatalystOptionally screen thecatalyst to remove coarse contaminants and fine particles thatwould be lost during fluidization.7.2.2 Prepare the Feed:7.2.2.1 Weigh out and transfer the appropriate amount ofLGO into the feed vessel. The minimum amount of LGO willequal the num

40、ber of cracking cycles times the amount fed percycle.7.2.2.2 Individually add the organic metal compounds. Themass of each metal added shall be calculated to give the desiredmetal loading on the catalyst. If using this technique to performan E-cat simulation, the metal target may have to be substan-

41、tially reduced by 25 to 50 % of the actual E-cat metal contentin order to simulate the deactivation effects discussed in thescope.7.2.2.3 Stir the LGO with a mechanical stirrer, and option-ally heat, to insure homogeneity of the mixture throughout theprocedure.7.2.3 Set up the Reactor System:7.2.3.1

42、 Load the catalyst into the fluidized bed reactor. Theamount of catalyst charged depends on the geometry of thereactor vessel.7.2.3.2 Attach all external control, input, exhaust and safetydevices.7.2.3.3 Fill the water reservoir to the appropriate startingpoint.7.2.3.4 Start the flow of 100 % nitrog

43、en gas through theLGO feed tube.7.2.3.5 Start the flow of 100 % nitrogen through the sieveplate.7.2.4 Metallation and Regeneration:7.2.4.1 Set the reactor temperature (500 to 530C).7.2.4.2 Inject xx grams of the LGO prepared in 7.2.2 (xx =total mass LGO / number of cycles). A good rule of thumbmight

44、 be to set LGO per cycle equivalent to 20 to 50 % of thecatalyst mass.7.2.4.3 Run a stripping cycle with pure nitrogen (no feed)for 7 to 10 min, while ramping temperature to regenerationconditions (600 to 700C).7.2.4.4 After the stripping step is complete, change the gascomposition through both the

45、feed tube and sieve plate to100 % air for regeneration.7.2.5 Deactivation:7.2.5.1 Deactivation time and temperature are specific to theobjectives of the catalyst simulation (732 to 815C). The totaldeactivation time from start to finish is established to achievea certain degree of surface area reduct

46、ion. Therefore, thesteaming time per cycle is variable, but typically 30 to 60 min.7.2.5.2 Ramp the temperature up to deactivation conditions.7.2.5.3 Terminate the air gas flow through the feed tube andthe sieve plate.7.2.5.4 Activate the water pump and adjust the water flowrate to achieve the desir

47、ed partial pressure of steam. 100 %steam is achievable, but 45 to 90 % is more typical forlaboratory simulations.7.2.5.5 Repeat steps 7.2.3.4 through 7.2.5.4 for the numberof desired cycles.7.2.6 At the conclusion of the final deactivation step, coolthe furnace using the forced air circulation syste
