Processamento de catalisadores gastos de unidade de hidrodessulfurização profunda (ultra-deep HDS)

PROCESSING OF SPENT ULTRA-DEEP HYDRODESULFURIZATION CATALYSTS. This work discusses the recycling of spent NiMo/Al2O3 catalysts from ultra-deep hydrodesulfurization (HDS) units. They contain a refractory coke and fouling elements from the processed feedstocks. Samples were preoxidized (600 ºC) for 12 h using a very slow heating rate to eliminate coke and volatiles. Experiments were performed in the presence of HF + H2O2 mixtures under stirring at 25-60oC for 1-4 h. The amount of insoluble matter was the lowest (< 1 wt.% of the initial mass) after leaching for 2 h at 60oC using an excess of 50 ...
