    Regeneration and reactivation of hydrotreatment catalysts : towards understanding the parameters of rejuvenation

    No full text
    La rĂ©gĂ©nĂ©ration et la rĂ©activation des catalyseurs industriels d'hydrodĂ©sulfuration (HDS) CoMo/Al2O3 usĂ©s permettent leur rĂ©utilisation. Étant donnĂ© que ces catalyseurs sont considĂ©rĂ©s comme toxiques et polluants, la rĂ©gĂ©nĂ©ration/rĂ©activation est une procĂ©dure intĂ©ressante dans un cadre Ă©cologique et Ă©conomique. La rĂ©gĂ©nĂ©ration permet d'Ă©liminer les dĂ©pĂŽts de carbone mais ne permet pas de restaurer complĂštement l'activitĂ© des catalyseurs de HDS des nouvelles gĂ©nĂ©rations. En consĂ©quence, une deuxiĂšme Ă©tape appelĂ©e « rĂ©juvenation », impliquant l’ajout de composĂ©s organiques, a Ă©tĂ© mise en Ɠuvre. L’étude de l’impact des additifs est d’un grand intĂ©rĂȘt mais de nombreuses observations restent inexpliquĂ©es. En outre, certains brevets ont dĂ©crit une procĂ©dure de prĂ©-activation permettant d'activer des catalyseurs ex situ afin d'Ă©viter le contact avec des composĂ©s soufrĂ©s, ainsi que de manipuler et de charger en toute sĂ©curitĂ© les catalyseurs dans des unitĂ©s de HDS. De plus, il est de notoriĂ©tĂ© publique que la sulfuration est une Ă©tape critique ayant un impact important sur les performances catalytiques. En ce sens, cette Ă©tude vise Ă  Ă©tudier l’effet de diffĂ©rentes conditions de rajeunissement, de prĂ©-activation et de sulfuration ultĂ©rieure sur les caractĂ©ristiques finales des catalyseurs. Dans ce travail, trois catalyseurs rĂ©gĂ©nĂ©rĂ©s et prĂ©-activĂ©s ont Ă©tĂ© Ă©tudiĂ©s aprĂšs diffĂ©rents protocoles de sulfuration. Les catalyseurs ont Ă©tĂ© testĂ©s et comparĂ©s dans la HDS de thiophĂšne et SRGO. Aussi, l’influence des composĂ©s organiques ajoutĂ©s lors de la rĂ©juvenation a Ă©tĂ© Ă©tudiĂ©e par diffĂ©rentes techniques (XPS, CO / IR, TEM
). Les rĂ©sultats ont permis de dĂ©terminer les diffĂ©rences d'activitĂ© catalytique et d'Ă©tablir une corrĂ©lation entre l'activitĂ© en HDS du thiophĂšne et la concentration de sites CoMoS. Aucune divergence morphologique n'a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©tectĂ©e dans les systĂšmes et les diffĂ©rences de performances catalytiques sont attribuĂ©es Ă  un degrĂ© de promotion inĂ©gal.Regeneration and reactivation of used industrial CoMo/Al2O3 hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts allows reusing them. Since these catalysts are considered toxic and pollutant, regeneration/reactivation is an interesting procedure from an economical and ecological point of view. The regeneration allows removing carbon deposits but, by itself, does not restore completely the activity of new generations of HDS catalysts. Consequently, a second stage named rejuvenation, involving addition of organic compounds has been implemented. The study of the impact of additives is of great interest but many observations remain unexplained. Furthermore, some patents have described a pre-activation procedure that allows activating catalysts ex situ in order to avoid contact with sulfur compounds and a safe handling and loading of the catalysts in HDS units. In addition, it is common knowledge that sulfidation is a critical stage that impacts strongly the catalytic performance. In this sense, this study aims to study the effect of different rejuvenation, pre-activation and subsequent sulfidation conditions on final characteristics of catalysts. In this work three rejuvenated and pre-activated catalysts were studied after different sulfidation protocols. Catalysts were tested and compared in thiophene and SRGO HDS. Additionally, the influence of the organic compounds added during rejuvenation was studied by different techniques (XPS, CO/IR, TEM
). Results allowed determining differences in catalytic activity and establishing a correlation between thiophene HDS activity and CoMoS concentration. No morphological divergences were detected in the systems, instead, differences in catalytic performances are attributed to an unequal promotion degre

    Organic additives for hydrotreating catalysts: a review of main families and action mechanisms

    No full text
    International audienceEver more active hydrotreating (HDT) catalysts should be developed to meet the growing demand for cleaner fuels. With each novel generation of HDT catalysts the requirements of performance, stability and possibility of regeneration become more sophisticated. Versatile types of organic molecules are applied to improve the HDT catalysts, and to activate regenerated catalysts. The additives improve the dispersion of the active phase, the degree of promotion and modify the interactions with the support. Complex chemical and physical processes are involved in the mechanisms of action, which are different from one family of additives to another. In this review we summarize recent advances on the main types of additives, the current state of understanding of the mechanisms of their action as well as challenges and perspectives in developing novel additives for highly performing novel generations of HDT catalysts in a sustainable way
