Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic chemical synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a carbonylation catalyst. Background Art
[0002] With the growing demand for energy and the intensifying contradiction of tight oil supply, as well as the increasing global environmental pressure, fuel ethanol has attracted widespread attention from countries around the world for its cleanliness and environmental protection. As an important clean energy, ethanol is mixed with gasoline at a ratio of 10%. Fuel ethanol gasoline can reduce the emission of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in automobile exhaust.
[0003] Currently, fuel ethanol is mainly divided into three categories: grain ethanol, non-grain ethanol, and cellulosic ethanol. Grain ethanol uses grains such as corn and wheat as raw materials. Since the production of grain ethanol and non-grain ethanol requires more arable land, there is a problem of competing with people and livestock for food.
[0004] At present, the "dimethyl ether → methyl acetate → ethanol" technical route has been developed, and dimethyl ether and carbon monoxide undergo carbonylation reaction to produce methyl acetate, and methyl acetate and hydrogen undergo hydrogenation reaction to produce ethanol. Among them, the technology of hydrogenating methyl acetate to ethanol has long been mature and has been industrially applied.
[0005] Patent CN104338553A uses microwave acid-base treatment on ZSM-35 molecular sieves to improve the activity and stability of dimethyl ether carbonylation reactions. Patent CN101613274A uses pyridine and other organic amines to modify mordenite molecular sieve catalysts, achieving methyl acetate selectivity exceeding 99% and significantly improving catalyst lifespan to over 50 hours. Patent CN103896766A increases the single-pass lifespan of mordenite catalysts to over 1,000 hours by adding pyridine and other organic amines to the feed. This pyridine modification method effectively addresses the short lifespan of mordenite catalysts. Patent CN106311336A selectively modifies the pores of mordenite molecular sieves with methyl or acetyl organic compounds, increasing the single-pass lifespan of dimethyl ether carbonylation catalysts to over 600 hours. Industrial catalysts require a certain level of strength, and large amounts of binders are added during the molding process to enhance this strength. The binder in the catalyst is inert during the reaction, or may have some adverse effects on the reaction, and this effect becomes greater as the binder dosage increases. Furthermore, during the crystallization process of conventional molecular sieves, some silicon source dissolves in the mother liquor and cannot be used, resulting in low raw material utilization. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing a carbonylation catalyst. In this method, a pre-crystallized precursor is first formed and then placed in a crystallization solution for further crystallization. The resulting molecular sieve catalyst is then used in the carbonylation reaction of dimethyl ether and carbon monoxide. This method not only improves the yield of the molecular sieve, but also enhances the catalytic performance of the molecular sieve catalyst.
[0007] In order to achieve the above invention objectives, the specific technical solutions adopted by the present invention are:
[0008] A method for preparing a carbonylation catalyst, comprising the following steps:
[0009] (1) mixing a silicon source, an aluminum source, an alkali, water, and a template agent A in a certain mass ratio (i.e., a pre-crystallization solution), transferring the mixture to a pre-crystallization kettle for hydrothermal pre-crystallization, filtering, and drying to obtain a precursor;
[0010] (2) The precursor and the binder are formed, and after the formed sample is dried, it is transferred to a crystallization solution prepared from the template B+C and the pre-crystallization solution obtained by filtration in step (1) for crystallization. After filtering, washing and drying, it is calcined-exchanged-and calcined again to obtain the catalyst.
[0011] As a better choice in this application, the pre-crystallization solution in step (1) is a substance prepared by mixing H2O, NaOH, template A, silicon source and aluminum source in a mass ratio of 100: (0.01-10.0): (0.01-2.0): (0.01-10.0): (0.01-10.0).
[0012] The template agent A is any one of cyclohexylamine, aniline, monomethylamine, dimethylamine and the like.
[0013] The pre-crystallization temperature is 100-150°C for 5-24 hours, and the drying temperature after filtration is 20-70°C for 1-10 hours.
[0014] As a better selection method in this application, the silicon source is any one of silica sol, silica powder or white carbon black; the aluminum source is any one of aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, aluminum nitrate and sodium aluminate.
[0015] As a preferred method in this application, the precursor and binder are formed in step (2), including ball forming and extrusion forming. The ball size is 1-5mm, the extrusion diameter is 1-5mm, and the length is 3-5mm. The binder is one or a combination of silica sol or SB powder. The mass ratio of the precursor to the binder is 1: (0.1-1.0). The drying temperature after forming is 20-70°C and the drying time is 1-10 hours. The drying temperature after crystallization is 100-130°C and the drying time is 1-10 hours.
[0016] As a better choice in this application, template B+C is any two combinations of hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride, dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, tetradecyltrimethylammonium chloride, octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride, tetramethylammonium chloride, tetrabutylammonium chloride, tetrapropylammonium chloride, etc. The molded sample, pre-crystallization liquid, and template B+C are crystallized in a ratio of 1kg: (4-20)L: (10-50)g, and the mass ratio of template B / C is (3-10): 1. The crystallization temperature is 130-200℃, and the time is 5-96h. After filtration and drying, the roasting temperature is 450-600℃, and the roasting time is 2-10h. The exchange reagent is one of ammonium salts such as ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate. The re-roasting temperature is 450-550℃, and the roasting time is 2-10h.
[0017] The catalyst type obtained by adopting any one of the above methods or a combination of the methods is one of MOR, ZSM-35 or FER molecular sieves, and its Si / Al (molar) ratio is 5-50.
[0018] Another invention objective of the present application is to use the catalyst prepared by the above scheme for the carbonylation reaction of dimethyl ether and carbon monoxide.
[0019] As a better choice in this application, the catalyst is used in the carbonylation reaction of dimethyl ether and carbon monoxide to obtain methyl acetate product, the reaction temperature is 150-210 ° C, the reaction pressure is 1.0-10.0 MPa, and the raw gas space velocity is 1000-10000 h -1 The ratio of carbon monoxide to dimethyl ether in the raw gas is 5:1 to 20:1. Before the reaction, the catalyst is pre-adsorbed with pyridine or methyl iodide at a temperature of 250-350°C and a pyridine or methyl iodide concentration of 0.1-10.0% by volume. The inert diluent gas is N2 or He gas.
[0020] Due to the adoption of the above solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0021] (1) After the carbonylation catalyst is formed, the binder does not have any catalytic activity. Instead, it may change the acid strength of the catalyst, resulting in a decrease in the selectivity of the reaction product. At the same time, in the general molecular sieve crystallization process, the crystallization mother liquor contains a large amount of raw materials such as silicon and aluminum, resulting in material waste. The present invention forms the pre-crystallized precursor and then uses a secondary crystallization method. On the one hand, it can improve the utilization rate of the silicon source, aluminum source, etc., and on the other hand, it can reduce the binder content and increase the content of the molecular sieve, thereby improving the catalytic performance of the molecular sieve catalyst and reducing production costs.
[0022] (2) The process of the present invention is simple to operate, repeatable, and has good industrial application prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
