Aromatic hydrodecyclization of using catalysts based on molybdenum and tungsten supported on the Remblend of Kaolin( local clay based on bentonite)

Abstract • what is the news of the study? What is the interest? our interest is v eliminate the harmful effects of sulfur (reduce air pollution sulfur) v improve quality for the recovery of the oil products what guidance track? synthesizing a catalyst ensuring to : v open aromatic cycles v reduce the aromatic content in fuels. v Reduce the sulfur content in products the work is structured in three steps • 1 -preparation and characterization of catalysts 2 - use of catalysts prepared in the method craking 3 -analyzes of the products obtained and discution

1 -Introduction. • The very stringent specifications are adopted in several countries to minimize the negative harmful exhaust emissions impact. • Reducing the concentration of the sulfur content of the polycyclic aromatic compound in oils and diesel fuels. • The high and exigent demand for diezel refiners requires increased recovery of aromatic fractions from the catalytic cracking process using novel catalysts which provide aromatic hydrogenation followed by selective ring opening of naphthenes.

1. Introduction. The study consist of the valorization of petroleum fractions rich on polyaromatics diesel fuel using clay catalysts. is based on the change in the content of aromatics in terms of temperature, under constant hydrogen pressure preparation and characterization of catalysts This part is based on the preparation of two catalysts from the Kaolin Remblend. v The first is monometallic, consisting of molybdenum Mo / Kaolin. v second bimetal is composed of tungsten and molybdenum Mo-W / Kaolin.

1 -Introduction. The kaolin used is subjected to physicalchemical analyzes to determine the mineralogical composition and physicalchemical and mechanical properties of the clay. 2 -catalytic test performed on the prepared catalysts The second is to develop the petroleum fractions containing high levels of polyaromatic diesel fuel by the methods of déshydrodécyclisation aromatics using a vast catalysts prepared.

Introduction. • A third part is devoted to the chromatographic analysis of products to develop the conversion and selectivity of catalysts.

Analys material • 3 -analyzes of the products obtained and discution • The product used is the average aromatic, resulting from the process of aromatic extraction contained in the basic oils. We study the elemental composition of paraffins, olefins, naphthenes and aromatics, for that chromatographic analysis were performed by gas chromatography (GC). we are only interested by: P, O, N, A. The operating conditions : The catalyst was tested at different temperatures • at 450, 470, 490 and 540°C. • * Space velocity PPH = 2 h-1. • * Hydrogen pressure = 6 bar

Resultats

discusion Catalytic tests performed on hydrodecyclization reactions of aromatics contained in the medium aromatic extract, led to the following results: • The Bimetallic catalyst (Mo. O 3 -WO 3 / Kaolin) is more active than monometallic. • Under a pressure of 6 bar hydrogen, increases temperature leads to the formation of products derived from aromatic hydrocyclisation, but beyond the temperature of 490 ° C the cracking reaction are predominate. • Both catalysts show good activity for mercaptans. • The deposit of coke on the two catalysts becomes increasingly significant with increasing temperature, this coke poisons the catalysts.
