ESTUDIO DE LA ESTABILIDAD ESTRUCTURAL DE ÓXIDOS MIXTOS Zn-Al TIPO HIDROTALCITA EN PRECURSORES CATALÍTICOS CoNiMo FRENTE HDS DE TIOFENO

Abstract

The oil industry is one of the main sources responsible for atmospheric emissions such as: CO, CO2, SO2, NOX, hydrocarbons and suspended particles, which seeks to mitigate environmental pollution from its refineries using some processes, such as hydrotreatment (HDT). The heart of the HDT is the catalysts used, depending on the catalytic support and the metals used during its formulation. Therefore, this research focused on studying the structural stability of mixed Zn-Al type hydrotalcite (HT) oxides in catalysts CoNiMo versus thiophene HDS at a calcination temperature of 450 ° C. Initially, the catalytic support HT was synthesized at varying Zn-Al ratios of 0,00 to 1, 00Al, once the optimal range of HT (0,00-0,33Al) was obtained, the catalytic precursors CoMo / NiMo, through two stages of calcination, the first is impregnated the support type hydrotalcite (HT) without calcining with the metals CoNi and CoMo, after impregnating with these metals is calcined once only; While in the second stage the solids are calcined before impregnation and after impregnation with the aforementioned metals. The obtained results show an excellent performance for the catalysts with double calcination stage, being CoMo precursors more effective than NiMo; this can be justified by the physicochemical characteristics of the phases of the metals involved and their coordination vacancies.
