Effect of modifier Pd metal on hydrocracking of polyaromatic compounds over Ni-loaded Y-type zeolite and its application as hydrocracking of polyaromatic compounds over Ni-loaded Y-type zeolite and its application as hydrodesulfurization catalysts
- Osaka Univ. (Japan)
We have been studying the hydrocracking of polyaromatic compounds over Ni-loaded zeolite catalysts (ZSM-5, mordenite, and Y-type) and found the fact that pore size of zeolite exerts an interesting effect on product distribution. In this study, we have conducted the hydrocracking of pyrene using Pd-modified Ni-loaded Y-type zeolite as catalyst. Addition of Pd-metal activated Ni-loaded Y-type zeolite at a great extent. 100% conversion of pyrene was attained under milder conditions like at 325{degrees}C for 1 h (H{sub 2} 70 kg/cm{sup 2}) while Ni-loaded Y-type zeolite can attain 100% conversion at 350{degrees}C for 1 h. Detailed analysis of product distribution suggested us to apply this catalyst for the hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene. We have conducted hydrocracking of dibenzothiophene at 300{degrees}C for 1 h and found that almost all of dibenzothiophene was hydrocracked while both Ni-loaded Y-type zeolite and Pd-loaded Y-type zeolite show about 10-15% of starting materials remained. This result clearly indicates that modifier Pd-metal shows a kind of synergy for hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene.
