Abstract: The product distributions in slurry phase hydrocracking of a kind of heavy oil (AR from Venezuela, VAR) with 4 kinds of surfactants (cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), twelve alkyl two methyl betaine (TATMB) and OP-10 (OP)) were studied to select the best surfactant restraining the coke on the surface of reactor (CokeS). In order to understand the action mechanism of surfactant, the asphaltene surface functional groups were analyzed, and the catalyst’s average diameter, system’s colloidal stability parameter (CSP) and asphaltene’s adsorption performance on metal surface were measured also. Results indicated that CTAB could reduce CokeS from 1.6 wt% to 0.4 wt%, while SDBS increased CokeS, and TATMB and OP almost does not affect CokeS. Only the change regulation of asphaltene’s adsorption performance and CokeS was consistent with different surfactants, which implied the asphaltene’s adsorptivity on metal surface should be the critical factor controlling CokeS. The study showed the asphaltene of VAR was acidic, so CTAB with the weak basic amino-group could react with VAR asphaltene, thereby restraining the adsorptivity of asphaltene on the surface of reactor, which caused 1

the decrease of CokeS. The mechanism of surfactant decreasing CokeS was proposed that the surfactant with the opposite functional group compared with the acidity or basicity of asphaltene can react with asphaltene through acid-base action to restrain the adsorptivity of asphaltene on the surface of reactor resulting in the reduce of CokeS. Key words: mechanism; surfactant; coke on the surface of reactor; adsorption performance of asphaltene; residue slurry phase hydrocracking 1. Introduction Residue Slurry phase hydrocracking is a heavy oil processing technology,

1-3

which has the

advantages of good adaptability of raw materials with poor quality, high conversion and high residual carbon removal rate. 4 Much efforts about catalyst, 5-8 technology 9-11 and reaction 12-14 have been made towards industrializing this technology. Nevertheless, coking, especially coking on the reactor surface, which can block up the pipeline and shorten the run period of equipments, is the bottleneck of industrialization.

15, 16

Therefore how to restrain the coke formation on the reactor

surface is very important to develop the technology of slurry phase hydrocracking. Coking on the reactor surface is a complex physical and chemical process. Asphaltene molecules begin cracking and condensation reactions at high temperature. When the hydrogenation rate is less than the dehydrogenation rate, the condensation reaction becomes the dominant reaction, and the difference of polarity between asphaltene and other fractions becomes bigger and bigger, leading to the liquid-liquid phase separation, forming the second liquid phase, a part of which is adsorbed on the hot metal surface and continues dehydrogenation and condensation reactions to produce coke on the reactor surface. the reactor surface effectively,

surfactants and asphaltene have been done,

but the mechanism of surfactant reducing the coke

on the surface of reactor (CokeS) is still not clear, resulting in the suitable surfactant can not be 2

chosen on the basis of characteristics of raw oil. Recently, Li

found sodium dodecyl benzene

sulfonate(SDBS) could decrease CokeS in slurry phase hydrocracking of Karamay AR by reducing the asphaltene’s adsorptivity on the surface of reactor. However, this conclusion was obtained by only one kind of heavy oil, which was not confirmed through other raw oils. Hence, a related research about another kind of heavy oil with different surface functional groups of asphaltene would be necessary. In view of coking process, the surfactant may affect CokeS from three ways: 1. strengthening the hydrogenation ability of catalyst to reach a lower total coke yield; 2. making the system more stable to delay the forming of the second liquid phase; 3. reducing the asphaltene’s adsorptivity on metal surface to decrease CokeS. This investigation will study the effects of different surfactants on catalyst’s average diameter, system’s colloidal stability parameter and asphaltene’s adsorption performance to confirm the mechanism of surfactant reducing CokeS in residue slurry phase hydrocracking. 2. Experimental section 2.1. Feedstock and additives The feed oil used in this work was an inferior atmospheric residue from Venezuela (VAR) with poor qualities (Table 1), which was difficult to effectively process by now, and the catalyst precursor was the mixture of molybdenum naphthenate and nickel naphthenate, in which the mass ratio of Mo/Ni was 3:2. Literatures reported only the surfactant with straight chain number of 6~16 can interact with asphaltene efficaciously,

26, 30

so 4 kinds of adequate surfactants were selected in this

study, which were cationic surfactant (cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB, C19H42BrN)), anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS, C18H29NaO3S)), amphoteric surfactant (twelve alkyl two methyl betaine (TATMB, C19H39NO2)) and non-ionic surfactant (OP-10 (OP, C24H60O)) respectively. 3

sulfur and surfactant, the contents of which were 150 µg·g-1 (calculated by metal atoms), 400 µg·g-1 and 200 µg·g-1 severally. The reactions carried out in autoclave, and the reaction conditions were: stir speed, 800 rpm; temperature, 435 °C; H2 pressure, 12 MPa; reaction time, from 10 min to 60 min. After reaction, the autoclave was water-cooled, and the products were separated into 4 parts: TATMB>none>SDBS. Besides, surfactants could alter the proportion of CokeL and CokeS. The proportion of CokeS and CokeL was about 4.0 without any surfactant, and changed into 0.3, 10.0, 3.8 and 4.3, respectively, when adding CTAB, SDBS, TATMB and OP. That implied 8

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 9 of 20

CTAB could reduce CokeS significantly (from 1.6 wt% to 0.4 wt%), and SDBS could increase CokeS (from 1.6 wt% to 2.0 wt%), which was different compared with the situation when the raw oil was KAR,

30

while TATMB decreased CokeS and OP increased CokeS slightly. Then the sequence of

reducing CokeS was CTAB>TATMB≈none≈OP>SDBS, and CTAB was the best surfactant to reduce CokeS.

3.2. Average diameter of catalyst and CSP value of system . Figure 4 shows the changes of average diameter of catalyst using different surfactants. In theory, the catalyst with smaller mean particle diameter would show better hydrogenation activity during slurry phase hydrocracking,

32

but as could be seen form Figure 4, the reduction sequence of

catalyst’s average diameter was OP>TATMB>CTAB>none>SDBS, which didn’t agree with the sequence of decreasing CokeS. Therefore, the influence of surfactant on catalyst is not the critical factor restraining CokeS apparently. 0

start forming coke rapidly. In contrast, the CSP value of system with CTAB, TATMB and OP reduced markedly after 40 min, which implied CTAB, TATMB and OP could enhance the system’s colloidal stability and prolong the coking inducing period except SDBS. The sequence of improving system’s colloidal stability was OP>CTAB>TATMB>none>SDBS, which was in accordance with the sequence of restraining the yield of total coke, but wasn’t consistent with the sequence of restraining CokeS. Hence, though the surfactant improving the system’s colloidal stability can accordingly restrain the yield of total coke, however is not the critical factor decreasing CokeS yet, which was in accord with the conclusion reported. 30 0 5.0

Adsorption performance of asphaltene on sheet metal Figure 6 shows the asphaltene’s adsorption rates at different reaction time on sheet metal at the adsorbing time of 80 min. All of adsorption rates raised as the reaction time prolonging. The longer reaction time would increase the condensation degree and polarity of asphaltene which made asphaltene adsorb on sheet metal more easily. A break point of adsorption rate appeared at the reaction time of 40 min, which meant the reaction system trended to form coke obviously after reacting 40 min. In addition, the asphaltene’s adsorption rate could be affected by added surfactants, 10

Figure 7. Asphaltene’s adsorption rates with surfactants at different adsorption time In addition, the asphaltene’s adsorption rate raised linearly as the adsorption time increasing when adding surfacrants except CTAB. When CTAB was added, the upturn of adsorption rate was slowing down after adsorbing 20 min, which implied that the adsorption of asphaltene molecules on sheet metal might be in the way of single-molecule layer at the primary stage, and all surfactants showed no evident effect on this stage. When the asphaltene molecules continued to adsorb on sheet metal, an asphaltene’s multi-molecule layer would form. In this stage, SDBS, TATMB and OP seemed ineffectively to restrain forming asphaltene’s multi-molecule layer on sheet metal except CTAB. The inhibition of forming asphaltene’s multi-molecule layer on sheet metal by CTAB should be the reason of restraining asphaltene’s adsorption rate on sheet metal.

As seen from Table 3, the results of asphaltene’s adsorption rate under other conditions were basically consistent to the results shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7. In this way, it can be concluded that the surfactant reducing the asphaltene’s adsorptivity on the surface of reactor is the critical factor restraining CokeS. The asphaltene’s XPS data could support the effectiveness of CTAB in this study. Figure 8 shows the VAR asphaltene’s XPS spectra, from which the types and contents of the functional groups of VAR asphaltene are obtained (Table 4). In VAR asphaltene, the C atoms in the form of C

—C and C—H accounted for dominant, reaching 89.62 mol% of all atoms. Among the O-containing groups, C=O was primary, in which the O atoms reached 1.15 mol% accounting for all atoms. In pyrrolic N and thiophenic S, the molar ratio of N atoms and S atoms were 0.96 mol% and 0.71 mol% accounting for all atoms severally. The three kinds of functional groups mentioned above were nearly neutral. The O atoms in COO were 0.70 mol% accounting for all elements which was considered as acidic functional group. Furthermore, the functional group of C-O (O atoms were 0.75 mol% accounting for all elements) might contain hydroxyl group and phenolic group, and the functional group of aliphatic S (sulfur atoms were 0.96 mol% accounting for all elements) might contain thiol group and phenyl-sulfhydryl group, which were all considered to be acidic. By comparison, the nitrogen atoms in pyridinic N were only 0.67 mol% accounting for all elements which was considered to be alkaline. Therefore, based on the analyses of XPS data, the VAR 13

So, the reason of CTAB reducing CokeS is that the CTAB with basic functional group and the acidic VAR asphaltene particle can interact with each other, reducing the asphaltene’s adsorptivity on the surface of reactor, which cause the decrease of CokeS. Associated with the reported conclusion that the SDBS with acidic functional group and the basic KAR asphaltene particle can interact to reduce the asphaltene’s adsorptivity on the surface of reactor to restrain CokeS,

the

mechanism of surfactant decreasing the coke on the surface of reactor can be obtained that the surfactant with the opposite functional group compared with the acidity or basicity of asphaltene can react with asphaltene through acid-base action to reduce the adsorptivity of asphaltene on the surface of reactor, which should be the critical factor of surfactant restraining CokeS. This process can be illustrated by Figure 9.

Figure 9. Mechanism of surfactant restraining CokeS: (a) The reaction system with surfactant, (b) The reaction system with no surfactant; 1. The surfactant with the opposite functional group compared with the acidity or basicity of asphaltene, 2. Asphaltene particle, 3. Surface of reactor, 4. Coke.

4. Conclusion (1) In slurry phase hydrocracking of VAR, the surfactant with the function of strengthening system’s colloidal stability can reduce the yield of total coke, but can’t change the proportion of CokeL and CokeS, and CTAB is the best surfactant to reduce CokeS compared with SDBS, TATMB and OP. (2) The mechanism of surfactant decreasing the coke on the surface of reactor can be obtained that the surfactant with the opposite functional group compared with the acidity or basicity of asphaltene can react with asphaltene through acid-base action to reduce the asphaltene’s adsorptivity on the surface of reactor, which is the critical factor of surfactant restraining CokeS.
