  • CATALYST POISONS

  • CATALYST AND POISONCATALYST: A substance which does not take part in a reaction, but influences the rate of desirable reactions.Eg., Nickel-Molybdenum POISON:A Substance, either in the reactant stream or that produced by the reaction, which lowers the activity of the catalyst.Eg., Carbon, Steam, Sodium etc.

  • CATALYST A Catalyst accelerates reaction by providing alternate paths to products.The activation energy of each catalytic step is less than that for the non catalytic reaction.In the reaction cycle, active centers of catalyst first combine with at least one reactant and then are reproduced with the appearance of product.The freed center then recombines with reactant to produce another cycle and so on.Comparatively small quantities of catalytic centers are required to produce large amounts of product.Equilibrium conversion is not altered by a catalyst.A catalyst can radically alter selectivity.

  • CATALYSTS USED IN REFINERYSilica-Alumina in Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCC)Nickel-Molybdenum in Diesel Hydrodesulphurization Unit (DHDS) and Naphtha Hydro treating Unit (NHT).Platinum in Continuous Catalytic Regeneration Unit (CCR).Titanium and Alumina in Sulphur Recovery Unit (SRU).

  • POISONA substance that appreciably diminishes the catalytic reaction rate is called a Poison.A poison can be either in the reactant stream or produced by the reaction.A Poison lowers the activity of the catalyst.Poisoning can be due to chemisorption or due to physical deposition active sites of catalyst.Eg., Nitrogen compounds are chemisorbed on FCC Catalyst and Coke causes deactivation by deposition.

  • POISONS FOR CATALYSTS USED IN REFINERY PROCESSES

  • TYPES OF POISONSDeposited Poisons: Carbon deposition on catalysts used in Refinery Processes.Eg., Carbon (Coke) deposition on FCC Catalyst.This type of Poison can be removed by regeneration of the catalyst.Regeneration can be accomplished by burning carbon to CO and CO2 with air and/or steam.

  • TYPES OF POISONS Chemisorbed Poisons: Compounds of Sulphur and other materials are chemisorbed on Nickel, Copper and Platinum Catalysts.The poison covers the active sites of the catalyst, which would otherwise adsorb reactant molecules.The activity of catalyst will be regained when the poison is removed from the reactants.If the adsorbed material is tightly held by the active sites of catalyst, the poisoning is permanent.

  • TYPES OF POISONSSelectivity Poisons: Some materials in the reactants will adsorb on the surface of the catalyst and then catalyze other undesirable reactions.Eg., Small amounts of Nickel and Vanadium in FCC feed will get deposited on the catalyst and act as dehydrogenation catalysts.This results in increased yields of Hydrogen and coke and lower the yield of Gasoline.This type of poisons cause permanent loss of catalyst activity.

  • TYPES OF POISONSStability Poisons: Water vapor present in SO2-Air mixture supplied to a Platinum-Alumina Catalyst, will decrease the oxidation activity of the catalyst.This type of poisoning is due to the effect of water on the structure of Alumina carrier.Temperature has a pronounced effect on stability poisoning.Sintering and localized melting may occur as the temperature is increased ,which changes the catalyst structure.

  • TYPES OF POISONSDiffusion Poisons: Blocking the pores of catalyst prevents the diffusion of reactants into the inner surface.Entrained solids in the reactants or fluids which can react with the catalyst to form a solid residue can cause this type of poisoning.Eg., Carbon deposition on FCC Catalyst

  • FCC REACTOR-REGENERATOR SECTIONFEED

  • FCCFCC is a secondary processing unit.Cracks Heavy Vacuum Gas Oil to more valuable products.Uses Si-Al catalyst in the form of fine powder(70 microns). Catalyst is continuously circulated in the unit @30-40 MT/min.Residence time of feed in Riser is 1.5-2 sec.

  • COMPONENTS OF FCC CATALYSTZEOLITE-Primary Catalytic Component for selective cracking.MATRIX-Forms the continuum that holds together the Zeolite crystals.FILLER-A clay incorporated into the catalyst to dilute its activity.BINDER-Serves as a glue to hold the Zeolite,Matrix and Filler together.

  • FCC CATALYST COMPONENTS

  • ZEOLITE STRUCTURE

  • ACTIVE SITES OF ZEOLITE

  • TYPES OF POISONS OF FCC CATALYSTPoisons which damage FCC Catalyst can be divided into the following categories.Poisons which damage or weaken the catalyst structure.Eg., SodiumPoisons which block acid sites.Eg., Coke, NitrogenPoisons which catalyze undesirable reactions.Eg., Nickel, Vanadium

  • STRUCTURAL CHANGES IN THE CATALYSTStructural changes can occur in both Zeolite and matrix.Changes take place when catalyst is exposed to high temperatures(>750degC) and water. This is called hydrothermal deactivation.Two stage Regeneration eliminates this problem, as most of the water is removed in the first stage Regenerator, where the temperature is < 700 degC.The presence of contaminants like Sodium, Vanadium aggravates the harmful effect on the stability of Zeolite.

  • DEACTIVATION DUE TO COKECoke formed during cracking blocks the active sites and pores of the catalyst.Coke formed in FCC can have the following origins:Catalytic Coke: Coke produced from cracking reactions that occur at the active sites of Zeolite and matrix.Contaminant Coke: Coke produced by heavy metals (Cu, Ni, V, Fe) deposited on the catalyst.Occluded Coke: Coke resulting from the carry over of hydrocarbons in the catalyst pores.Feed Residue Coke: Coke contributed by carbon residue in the feed.

  • CATALYST POISONSNITROGENSODIUMNICKELVANADIUM

  • NITROGENOrganic Nitrogen compounds in FCC feed are the source of Nitrogen. The source and Sp. Gravity range of Crude influence the amount of Nitrogen in FCC feed.Basic Nitrogen is 25-30% of total Nitrogen in feed.Basic nitrogen reacts with the active acidic sites of FCC Catalyst.It results in temporary loss of catalyst activity.Nitrogen which blocks the active sites is burnt in Regenerator.Burning of Nitrogen in Regenerator restores the activity of catalyst.

  • NITROGENApprox.300 ppm increase in Basic Nitrogen results in loss of 1 vol% conversion.Nitrogen content in FCC feed can be reduced bySelecting crudes with low Nitrogen contentHydro treating FCC feedIncreasing the Zeolite content and active Matrix of FCC Catalyst.FCC Feed Nitrogen is monitored regularly.

  • SODIUMSodium causes permanent deactivation of catalyst by neutralizing its acid sites.Sodium is used in the manufacture of FCC Catalyst.Other sources of Sodium areA) Inadequate Desalter operation in CDU.B) Addition of Caustic downstream of Desalter.C) Processing of refinery slop.D) Purchased FCC feedE) Use of Steam that contains sodium.The adverse effects of Sodium are the same regardless of its origin.

  • SODIUMSodium is detrimental to Zeolite stability and its activity.It decreases the hydrothermal stability of catalyst.It forms an eutectic with Catalyst, which fuses at Regenerator conditions .Increase in Sodium content reduces the RON of FCC Gasoline.Sodium causes a permanent loss in Catalyst activity.Sodium in FCC feed is monitored regularly.Sodium in E cat (Na2O) is monitored to know the sodium contamination due to Catalyst.

  • NICKELNickel is a permanent Poison for FCC CatalystDeactivates mild acid sites of Matrix and the stronger sites on the zeolite exterior surface.Promotes dehydrogenation reactions.Results in High yields of hydrogen and Coke.Nickel is present in heavier FCC feed.The detrimental effects of Nickel can be reduced byA) Increasing the metal tolerance of FCC Catalyst.B) Using Nickel PassivatorC) Using flushing catalyst with low metals.

  • VANADIUMVanadium is a permanent poison for FCC Catalyst.It is present in heavier FCC feed.It gets deposited on Catalyst during Cracking.It results in loss of Surface Area and activity.Vanadium on Catalyst promotes dehydrogenation reactions.This results in high yields of Hydrogen and coke.The detrimental effects of Vanadium can be reduced by:A) Using Catalyst with high Vanadium tolerance.B) Using Vanadium Passivator.C) Using flushing Catalyst with low metals.
