A kind of preparation method of alumina support
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of alumina support or contain the preparation method of small amounts silicon (diboron trioxide or phosphorus pentoxide) alumina support.
Background technology
Catalyst carrier character such as surface area, aperture play an important role to activity of such catalysts stability.Concerning heavy distillate especially residual oil, metal impurities (as Ni, V etc.) content height.If the aperture of catalyst carrier little (less than 15nm) just causes the aperture of catalyst little, cause heavy distillate especially the metal impurities in the residual oil be deposited near the catalyst aperture, the blocking catalyst aperture reduces catalyst activity reduction, stability.If the average pore size of catalyst carrier is excessive, then Zhi Bei catalyst strength is low, and abrasion are high.Therefore, the heavy distillate especially suitable average pore size of residual oil catalyst for demetalation carrier is 15~30nm, and the most probable aperture is 15~30nm.Pore volume wants big in addition, and because of pore volume is big, the metal of deposition is many, and the catalyst activity good stability generally requires the carrier specific surface to be not more than 200m
