petroleum catalyst is an important raw material required for the production of oil refining industry, the development of magnesium oxide industry is closely related to the development of the oil refining industry, Zehui magnesium base that the shortage of petroleum resources and the high price of crude oil shock, will give China's petrochemical industry to bring a huge raw material to ensure that and the cost pressure. For this reason, China's petrochemical industry needs to develop crude oil and heavy oil deep-processing technology, and constantly improve the utilization rate of resources, which puts forward more stringent requirements for petroleum catalysts, magnesium oxide, as one of the raw materials of petroleum catalysts, the requirements for its specificity are also becoming more and more stringent.

The role of magnesium oxide is an environmentally friendly chemical material, applied in the petroleum catalyst has a very good role, the petroleum catalyst on the quality of magnesium oxide is very strict, magnesium oxide in which the role of magnesium oxide are mainly the following.

1, The main role of magnesium oxide for petroleum catalyst is directly as catalyst or as catalyst carrier.

2, In the catalyst carrier add appropriate amount of magnesium oxide, is conducive to improve the adsorption performance of the catalyst, accelerate the speed of adsorption, can effectively reduce the petroleum catalyst mutation and other situations, improve the stability of the catalyst.

3、Magnesium oxide belongs to alkaline material, applied in petroleum catalyst can effectively reduce the surface acidity of the carrier, which is conducive to promote the adsorption of acidic substances on the catalyst.

4, Magnesium oxide has a certain hydration effect, when the magnesium oxide content exceeds a certain range, it will be counterproductive, it will make the adsorption performance weakened, so it is not the selection of magnesium oxide content the better the better.

The prospect of Zehui magnesium-based analysts said that the petroleum catalyst is the refining industry to achieve efficient conversion of crude oil and clean utilization of key technologies, is an important raw material required for the production of the refining industry, in China's oil refining industry continues to expand, China's petroleum catalyst market demand continues to grow. But China's petroleum catalyst industry, the rate of technological progress can not meet China's oil refining industry to improve the speed of product requirements, supply and demand contradictions still exist, the future, the production of high-performance, high-quality, environmentally friendly products is the focus of China's petroleum catalyst industry development.
