Abstract

The present invention relates to a pre-hydrotreatment and purification method for waste lubricating oil, the method comprising the following steps: mechanical impurities are removed from waste lubricating oil, and then the oil is subjected to flash distillation to separate free water and a portion of light hydrocarbons; a bottom product of the flash distillation column is mixed with hydrogen and a self-sulfurizing oil-soluble transition metal catalyst, and then enters a slurry bed reactor for pre-hydrotreatment; a gas product obtained by performing separation on a reaction effluent is subjected to adsorption purification and then enters a hydrogen recycle compressor for cyclic use; a liquid product obtained by performing separation on a reaction effluent is subjected to hydrocyclone separation and solvent washing to remove solid residue, and finally a purified lubricating oil component is obtained. The method of the present invention has such advantages as simple processing procedures, a high non-ideal component conversion rate, a high oil liquid yield, and good quality. In addition, the oil-soluble catalyst features simple dispersion, no need for vulcanization, a small catalyst ad…
