La régénération et la réactivation des catalyseurs industriels d'hydrodésulfuration (HDS) CoMo/Al2O3 usés permettent leur réutilisation. Étant donné que ces catalyseurs sont considérés comme toxiques et polluants, la régénération/réactivation est une procédure intéressante dans un cadre écologique et économique. La régénération permet d'éliminer les dépôts de carbone mais ne permet pas de restaurer complètement l'activité des catalyseurs de HDS des nouvelles générations. En conséquence, une deuxième étape appelée « réjuvenation », impliquant l’ajout de composés organiques, a été mise en œuvre. L’étude de l’impact des additifs est d’un grand intérêt mais de nombreuses observations restent inexpliquées. En outre, certains brevets ont décrit une procédure de pré-activation permettant d'activer des catalyseurs ex situ afin d'éviter le contact avec des composés soufrés, ainsi que de manipuler et de charger en toute sécurité les catalyseurs dans des unités de HDS. De plus, il est de notoriété publique que la sulfuration est une étape critique ayant un impact important sur les performances catalytiques. En ce sens, cette étude vise à étudier l’effet de différentes conditions de rajeunissement, de pré-activation et de sulfuration ultérieure sur les caractéristiques finales des catalyseurs. Dans ce travail, trois catalyseurs régénérés et pré-activés ont été étudiés après différents protocoles de sulfuration. Les catalyseurs ont été testés et comparés dans la HDS de thiophène et SRGO. Aussi, l’influence des composés organiques ajoutés lors de la réjuvenation a été étudiée par différentes techniques (XPS, CO / IR, TEM…). Les résultats ont permis de déterminer les différences d'activité catalytique et d'établir une corrélation entre l'activité en HDS du thiophène et la concentration de sites CoMoS. Aucune divergence morphologique n'a été détectée dans les systèmes et les différences de performances catalytiques sont attribuées à un degré de promotion inégal. / Regeneration and reactivation of used industrial CoMo/Al2O3 hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts allows reusing them. Since these catalysts are considered toxic and pollutant, regeneration/reactivation is an interesting procedure from an economical and ecological point of view. The regeneration allows removing carbon deposits but, by itself, does not restore completely the activity of new generations of HDS catalysts. Consequently, a second stage named rejuvenation, involving addition of organic compounds has been implemented. The study of the impact of additives is of great interest but many observations remain unexplained. Furthermore, some patents have described a pre-activation procedure that allows activating catalysts ex situ in order to avoid contact with sulfur compounds and a safe handling and loading of the catalysts in HDS units. In addition, it is common knowledge that sulfidation is a critical stage that impacts strongly the catalytic performance. In this sense, this study aims to study the effect of different rejuvenation, pre-activation and subsequent sulfidation conditions on final characteristics of catalysts. In this work three rejuvenated and pre-activated catalysts were studied after different sulfidation protocols. Catalysts were tested and compared in thiophene and SRGO HDS. Additionally, the influence of the organic compounds added during rejuvenation was studied by different techniques (XPS, CO/IR, TEM…). Results allowed determining differences in catalytic activity and establishing a correlation between thiophene HDS activity and CoMoS concentration. No morphological divergences were detected in the systems, instead, differences in catalytic performances are attributed to an unequal promotion degree

L'hydrodésulfuration (HDS) est un procédé majeur du raffinage pétrolier pour enlever le soufre des charges, typiquement avec un catalyseur CoMoS/Al2O3. Pendant un cycle du procédé d'HDS, la désactivation du catalyseur est due à trois causes principales : dépôt de coke, dépôt de métaux et ségrégation de la phase active. L'objectif de ce travail a été l'étude de l'effet du cokage et modifications de la phase active sur la désactivation du catalyseur d'HDS (de type CoMoS/Al2O3) appliqué à l'HDS des gazoles et la recherche des paramètres clés pour l'obtention d'un catalyseur usé comparable à celui issu de raffinerie. Des tests de vieillissement accéléré ont été réalisés avec différentes charges (différentes teneurs en aromatiques), couverture en hydrogène, durée et un pré-traitement de réduction. Après chaque test, les catalyseurs ont été caractérisés en termes de texture (méthodes BET et BJH), coke (Raman, IR, TPO, RPE, ToF-SIMS) et phase active (MET/EDX, XPS, TPR). En termes de texture et coke, une teneur élevée en aromatiques dans la charge et une couverture en hydrogène faible favorisent la formation de coke. Pour augmenter l'organisation du coke par rapport au catalyseur industriel, nous avons proposé un test plus long. En termes de phase active, une longue durée, couverture en hydrogène élevée et une pré-réduction favorisent plus d'hétérogénéité des teneurs en soufre et cobalt de la phase active et la formation d'agglomérats de sulfure de cobalt. La pré-réduction semble être efficace pour simuler l'exposition à des températures élevées pendant un cycle d'HDS, ce qui conduit à la ségrégation de la phase active, une caractéristique d'un catalyseur usé industriellement / Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is a major process of petroleum refining for sulphur removal, where CoMoS/Al2O3 is the typical catalyst. During the cycle of a HDS process, deactivation of the catalyst is attributed to three main causes: coke deposition (with loss of pore volume), metals deposition and segregation of the active phase. The aim of this work was to study the effect of coking and active phase changes on the deactivation of the HDS catalyst (of CoMoS/Al2O3 type) applied to the HDS of a diesel feed and find the key operating conditions to obtain a spent catalyst comparable to the industrial one. Accelerated aging tests have been performed with different feedstocks (different amounts of aromatics), hydrogen to oil ratio, duration and a pre-reduction treatment. After each test, catalysts have been characterized in terms of texture (BET and BJH methods), coke (Raman, IR, TPO, EPR, ToF-SIMS) and active phase (TEM/EDX, XPS, TPR). In terms of texture and coke, a high amount of aromatics on the feedstock and low hydrogen to oil ratio favor the formation of coke. In order to increase the organization of graphitic coke, we have proposed a longer test. In terms of active phase, a long duration, high hydrogen to oil ratio and a pre-reduction treatment favor loss of dispersion of sulphur and cobalt contents of the active phase and formation of cobalt sulfide agglomerates. Pre-reduction seems to be an effective treatment to simulate the exposure to high temperatures during a HDS cycle which results in segregation of the active phase, a fingerprint of an industrial spent HDS catalyst

Afin de réduire la teneur en soufre des essences, l’hydrodésulfuration transforme les molécules soufrées en hydrocarbures en présence d’un catalyseur supporté (métaux de transition sulfurés : MoS2) et dopé (Co, Ni). Cette phase active, déposée sur des nanoparticules, présente un nombre plus important de défauts, sites actifs essentiels à la catalyse. Les nanoparticules ont un ratio S/V élevé, une grande réactivité de surface avec une juste utilisation des quantités de métaux. L’objectif de ce projet de thèse est de synthétiser des catalyseurs nanométriques de type coeur@coquille possédant une meilleure activité catalytique qu’un simple mélange mécanique de deux métaux sulfurés. Le coeur est composé de Fe3O4 ou de nanodiamants et la coquille de MoS2, NiMoS, CoMoS ou NiCoMoS, supporté sur du TiO2 ou de la γ-Al2O3. Une réaction modèle (HDS du thiophène) a été utilisée afin d’évaluer l’activité catalytique et d’optimiser la structure du catalyseur. L’étude portera sur les paramètres de synthèse et l’effet de la taille du coeur, la synthèse utilisée, les interactions entre le coeur et la coquille, le support, la (co)– promotion (Ni/Co) et l’activation par la température. / In hydrodesulfurization of fossil fuels, the sulfur levels are reduced by sulfur extraction from hydrocarbons by using supported catalysts (MoS2), doped (Co, Ni). Ultra-deep hydrodesulfurization will be achieved by improving new catalysts. Nanoparticles are a promising candidate with their high S/V ratio and permit to use the precise amount of metallic sulphide. The aim of this thesis is the synthesis of core@shell nanometric catalyst with improved activities. Core composed of Fe3O4 or nanodiamonds will be surrounded by a shell formed of MoS2, NiMoS, CoMoS or NiCoMoS, supported on TiO2, γ-Al2O3. Model reaction (thiophene) has allowed to compare conversion rates between each catalyst. Additionally, characterizations have provided a better understanding of the HDS catalyst structure and performances. Some factors have been investigated such as the size of the core, theinteractions between the core and the shell, the type of synthesis, the support chosen, the synergetic effect with doping ions and also the activation of the catalyst at low temperature.

Les  catalyseurs impliqués dans le procédé d’hydrodésulfurisation des essences (HDS) reposent sur l’utilisation principale d’une phase active MoS2 promue par du cobalt et supportée sur alumine. L’enjeu de cette thèse est de faire le lien entre les propriétés spécifiques propres du catalyseur et ses performances catalytiques. Trois paramètres ont été étudiés afin de tenter de comprendre l’origine de leurs propriétés catalytiques : la nature du support (γ-Al2O3, δθ-Al2O3, SiO2), la densité surfacique en molybdène et le ratio cobalt/molybdène. L’activité HDS et la sélectivité ont été mesurées en réalisant des tests catalytiques sous haute pression en présence de molécules modèles. En parallèle, la phase CoMoS a été caractérisée  par XPS et HRTEM pour déterminer sa spéciation et sa structure (taille de feuillet et empilement). De plus, ces deux techniques combinées aux calculs quantiques ab initio ont permis de développer un modèle morphologique 2D d’un feuillet de phase CoMoS en dénombrant la nature (Co ou Mo) des atomes localisés aux bords du feuillet. Pour les supports étudiés, une corrélation entre l’activité HDS et le nombre d’atomes de cobalt aux bords du feuillet CoMoS a été établie. Ceci a été possible en considérant aussi l’empilement, paramètre pertinent. Ensuite, les analyses en HRSTEM réalisées sur les catalyseurs CoMoS sur γ et δ-Al2O3 ont révélé l’effet des facettes de l’alumine d d’une part, et le possible effet des arrêtes et coins de γ-Al2O3 d’autre part, sur la taille des feuillets CoMoS.Une étude spectroscopique FTIR de l’adsorption de la molécule sonde NO combinée à des calculs ab initio, a permis de mettre en évidence la nature des sites actifs de la phase CoMoS en fonction du support étudié. Les résultats spectroscopiques obtenus en présence du catalyseur supporté sur silice se sont révélées en adéquation avec la faible activité HDS observée.Une unité a également été conçue dans le but d’étudier ces catalyseurs par GC-DRIFT and GC-ATR in situ. La mise en contact de réactifs modèles en présence de la phase CoMoS et de son support dans des conditions de réaction d’HDS a alors pu être réalisée pour la première fois. Lors de l’adsorption et désorption du 3-methylthiophene (non réversible et réversible) sur les catalyseurs supportés sur γ-Al2O3 et SiO2, une réactivité particulière en présence de 3MT a été observée selon le support et la présence de la phase CoMoS. En présence d’H2, de nouveaux modes  vibrationnels liés à l’adsorption et/ou à la réactivité du 3MT ont été mis en évidence. / Catalysts used in the selective gasoline hydrodesulphurization (HDS) process are mainly cobalt promoted MoS2 active phase (CoMoS) supported on alumina. The aim of this work is to explore correlation between specific features of those HDS catalysts and their catalytic performances. Three parameters are studied to understand the catalytic performances of HDS catalysts: the nature of the support (γ-Al2O3, δθ-Al2O3, SiO2), the molybdenum surface density and the cobalt/molybdenum ratio. HDS activity and selectivity are measured by performing high pressure catalytic tests on model molecules. In parallel, characterizations of the CoMoS phase were performed by XPS and HRTEM analysis to determine the chemical speciation and structure (size and stacking) of the active phase. Additionally, these techniques are combined with previous ab initio quantum calculations to develop a 2D morphology model of the CoMoS slab by considering the location of cobalt atoms at the edges of the slab. For the three supports, a correlation is found between the HDS activity and the number of Co atoms at the slab edges. The normalization by stacking appears to be necessary to obtain this correlation. Moreover, HRSTEM analysis on CoMoS on δθ-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3 reveals the impact of the facets of dq-alumina crystallites and the possible role of corner and edges of g-Al2O3 crystallites on the size of the CoMoS slabs. The FTIR spectroscopic study of the adsorption of the NO probe molecule combined with ab initio calculations enables the identification of the nature of the active sites of the CoMoS phase as a function of the support. The spectroscopic features revealed for the silica supported catalyst are in line with its lower HDS activity. Simultaneously, an innovative experimental set up for in situ GC-DRIFT and GC-ATR analysis has been built on-purpose for studying the catalysts. It allows the investigation of the interactions of model reactants contacting the CoMoS phase and its supports close to HDS reaction conditions. This technique shows distinct behaviors of the adsorption and desorption process (non-reversible and reversible) of 3-methylthiophene (3MT) on γ-Al2O3 and SiO2 supported catalysts due to specific surface reactivity towards 3MT depending on the support and the presence of the CoMoS phase. Moreover, the presence of H2 modified the vibrational adsorption modes of 3MT linked to its adsorption and/or reactivity.

L'influence de l'effet de support sur la formation des phases de sulfure, c'est-à-dire la morphologie, la dispersion des sites, la structure et l'activité catalytique pour les catalyseurs d'hydrotraitement a été étudiée. L'étude a débuté par des catalyseurs au Mo et a été suivie par des catalyseurs CoMo supportés sur de la silice d'alumine et de l'oxyde de titane. L'effet de support semble être le facteur clé pour contrôler la morphologie des feuilles de MoS2. La morphologie a été étudiée en utilisant une technique puissante appelée IR / CO, c'est-à-dire une adsorption de CO suivie par une spectroscopie FTIR. Cette méthode permet de distinguer deux types de bord exposés sur les feuilles MoS2 dites M- et S-edge et permet ensuite l'étude de la morphologie par le rapport S / M-edge. Ainsi, pour une interaction faible, la morphologie hexagonale déformée du support MoS2 a été montrée alors que pour une interaction forte, la morphologie du triangle a été observée. Ces différentes morphologies ont été utilisées pour étudier la localisation du Co par la même méthode, IR / CO. Cette méthode permet également la distinction entre les sites non promus et promus ainsi que Co situé sur les bords M- et S-edge. Par conséquent, la comparaison entre le rapport S / M-edge et le degré de promotion (rapport des sites promus / non promus) a montré que Co est présent sur les deux bords M- et S-edge pour les trois catalyseurs supportés par CoMo. De plus, une étude détaillée a montré que Co décore préférentiellement les sites de type S-edge. Par conséquent, les structures du site CoMoS pour chaque catalyseur ont été étudiées par la méthode IRIS 2D. Cette nouvelle méthode développée au LCS permet la déconvolution de bandes IR / CO qui étaient auparavant une limitation pour la caractérisation des sites CoMoS. Cette avancée dans la caractérisation CoMo a conduit à l'étude détaillée de la structure CoMoS. Après l'attribution des trois bandes qui sont observées dans la gamme de spectres IR / CO promue, il est apparu que les sites S-edge étaient partiellement promus par Co, tandis que les sites M-edge étaient partiellement et totalement promus par Co. Ces sites ont un effet sur la réactivité HDS (hydrodésulfuration). De plus, une activité intrinsèque plus élevée a été trouvée pour le bord M-edge partiellement promus par Co, suivi par les sites totalement promus et finalement promus partiellement par le bord S-edge. / The influence of the support effect on the sulfide phases formation, i.e. morphology, sites dispersión, structure and catalytic activity for hydrotreating catalysts was studied. The study started by Mo catalysts and followed by CoMo catalysts supported on alumina silica and titania. The support effect appeared to be the key factor to control the morphology of MoS2 slabs. The morphology was studied using a powerful technique so-called IR/CO, i.e. CO adsorption followed by FTIR spectroscopy. This method allows the distinction of two types of edge exposed on the MoS2 slabs so-called M- and S-edge and then permits the study of the morphology by the S-/M-edge ratio. Thus, for a weak interaction MoS2-support deformed hexagon morphology was detected whereas for a strong interaction triangle morphology was observed. These different morphologies were used to study the Co localization by the same method, IR/CO. This method also allows the distinction between non- and promoted sites as well as Co located on M- and S-edges. Hence, the comparison between S-/M-edge ratio and promotion degree (promoted/non-promoted sites ratio) showed that Co is present on both M- and S-edges for the three CoMo supported catalysts. Additionally, a detailed study showed that Co preferentially decorates S-edge sites. Consequently, the CoMoS site structures for each catalyst has been studied by 2D IRIS method. This novel method developped in LCS allows the resolution of overlapping IR/CO bands which were previously a limitation for CoMoS sites characterization. This advance in the CoMo characterization lead to the study of detailed CoMoS structure. After the assignment of three bands which are observed in the promoted range of IR/CO spectra, it appeared that S-edge sites were partially promoted by Co, whereas M-edge sites could be partially and totally promoted by Co. The different proportion of those sites have an effect on HDS (hydrodesulfuration) reactivity. Thus, higher intrinsic activity was found for M-edge partially promoted by Co followed by totally promoted and finally the S-edge partially promoted sites.

No. of bitstreams: 1 FIL - Silvia Cristina S Strake.pdf: 674639 bytes, checksum: 502bc5379adce8d3e5650852bd62eb34 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-11-10 / This study intends to present historicity [or historicality] as discussed in the work Being and Time by Martin Heidegger. We understand that this author presents an original discussion about the meaning of history in opposition to the conceptions developed by the Historicism. In order to do so we described the considerations presented in Heidegger s thoughts in 1927, which reinforce his overcoming the epistemological approach and proposing the ontological understanding of history. According to him, the comprehension of what history means should not be defined by the attempts to establish it as a science, but an ontological comprehension of history is revealed by describing the fundamental human condition as Dasein. Based upon daily human existence Heidegger inquiries the significance of history, namely the mode-of-being of history - called historicity [historicality]. We tried to accomplish the exposition of the mode-of-being of history by means of the fundamental elements description as inserted in the Analytics of Dasein, because these elements (being-with-others, temporality, understanding, care, being-towards-death, state-of-mind, etc), along with the description of the phenomenologic-hermeneutical methodology, bring into light the original ontological perspective by Heidegger s thoughts to discuss the problem of history / O presente estudo pretende explicitar a historicidade discutida na obra Ser e Tempo de Martin Heidegger. Entendemos que o autor apresenta uma discussão original do sentido da história, contrapondo-se às concepções desenvolvidas pela Escola Histórica [Historicismo]. Para tanto, descrevemos as considerações presentes no pensamento de Heidegger de 1927 que corroboram para a superação da abordagem epistemológica propondo, assim, uma compreensão ontológica da história. A compreensão do que seja a história, segundo o autor, não se caracteriza pela tentativa de estabelecê-la como ciência, mas a compreensão ontológica da história se revela na explicitação da condição fundamental do homem como Dasein. É a partir da existência humana cotidiana que Heidegger problematiza o sentido da história, ou seja, o modo de ser da história denominado de historicidade. Para realizar a exposição do modo de ser da história, utilizamos a descrição dos elementos fundamentais contidos na Analítica do Dasein, pois estes elementos (ser-com-os-outros, temporalidade, compreensão, cuidado, ser-para-a-morte, disposição, etc), juntamente com a descrição do método fenomenológico-hermenêutico, evidenciam a perspectiva ontológica original do pensamento de Heidegger para discutir o problema da história
