| 3 | Selective Hydrogenation of Polycyclic Aromatics to Monocyclic Aromatics over NiMoC/HβCatalysts in a Methane and Hydrogen Environment显示文摘To obtain high yields of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with methyl side chains,such as toluene and xylene,methane(CH_(4))can be introduced into the hydrocracking of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.CH_(4)can participate in the reaction,supply methyl side chains to the product,and improve product distribution.In this study,the hydrogenation reaction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons over a carbonized NiMo/Hβcatalyst in a CH_(4)and hydrogen(H_(2))environment was investigated to study the promotional effect of CH_(4)on the hydrocracking of polycyclic aromatics.Under conditions of 3.5 MPa,380℃,volume air velocity of 4 h^(-1),gas-oil volume ratio of 800,and H_(2):CH_(4)molar ratio of 1:1,the conversion rate of naphthalene was 99.97%,the liquid phase yield was 93.62%,and the selectivity of BTX were 17.76%,25.17%,and 20.47%,respectively.In comparison to the use of a H_(2)atmosphere,the selectivity of benzene was significantly decreased,whereas the selectivity of toluene and xylene were increased.It was shown that CH_(4)can participate in the hydrocracking of naphthalene and improve the selectivity of toluene and xylene in the liquid product.The carbonized NiMo/Hβcatalyst was characterized by a range of analytical methods(such as X-ray diffraction(XRD),ammonia-temperature-programmed desorption(NH3-TPD),hydrogen-temperature-programmed reduction(H_(2)-TPR),and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)).The results indicated that Ni and Mo carbides were the major species in the carbonized NiMo/Hβcatalyst and were considered to be active sites for the activation of CH_(4)and H_(2).After loading the metal components,the catalyst displayed prominent weak acidic sites,which may be suitable locations for cracking,alkylation,and other related reactions.Therefore,the carbonized NiMo/Hβcatalyst displayed multiple functions during the hydrocracking of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a CH_(4)and H_(2)environment.These results could be used to develop a new way to efficiently utilize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and natural gas resources. | Shen Zhibing Fu Rao Zhang Shangli Wang Shunmei Zhang Wu Tang Ruiyuan Liang Shengrong Zhang Juntao Yuan Shibao Jiang Haiyan | 2023 | China Petroleum Processing & Petrochemical Technology2023,25,2: | 0 |
