Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of catalyst materials and hydrogen energy technology, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a platinum-ruthenium bimetallic catalyst and an application method of the platinum-ruthenium bimetallic catalyst in hydrogenation of an organic hydrogen carrier. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the hydrogen energy related industrial chain, the current situation of "difficult storage and transportation" of hydrogen gas, which is determined by the characteristics of hydrogen gas itself, hinders the large-scale application of hydrogen energy. Existing hydrogen storage technologies include high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage technology, low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage technology, solid hydrogen storage technology, and organic liquid hydrogen storage technology, etc. Organic liquid hydrogen storage technology stands out among the crowd of hydrogen storage technologies due to its high safety and high hydrogen storage capacity. This technology consists of two parts: hydrogen-poor organic hydrogen carrier hydrogenation and corresponding hydrogen-rich organic hydrogen carrier dehydrogenation after hydrogenation. As the first step of organic liquid hydrogen storage technology, researchers have carried out a series of studies on hydrogen-poor organic hydrogen carrier hydrogenation reactions. However, the current hydrogenation reactions of hydrogen-poor organic hydrogen carriers such as benzyltoluene generally have low hydrogenation catalyst activity, low hydrogenation catalyst selectivity, high hydrogenation pressure, and high hydrogenation temperature.
[0003] The literature (Int. J. Hydrogen Energy, 2024, 49, 1586-1596) reports the hydrogenation kinetics of benzyltoluene catalyzed by Ni / Al2O3 catalyst, and considers that the benzyltoluene hydrogenation reaction consists of the formation of intermediate product hexahydrobenzyltoluene from benzyltoluene hydrogenation and the formation of dodecahydrobenzyltoluene from hexahydrobenzyltoluene hydrogenation, where the hexahydrobenzyltoluene hydrogenation step is the rate-determining step.
[0004] The literature (Int. J. Hydrogen Energy, 2021, 286, 119889) compares the hydrogenation activity of Ru / MgO and Ru / Al2O3 catalysts applied in benzyltoluene hydrogenation reaction, and finds that the hydrogenation activity of Ru / MgO catalyst is significantly better than that of Ru / Al2O3.
[0005] The literature (J. Mater. Chem. A, 2024, 12, 23392-23397) discusses the microstructure sensitivity of platinum catalyst in toluene hydrogenation reaction, and finds that by controlling the electronic structure of platinum nanoparticles, the d-band center can be adjusted, thereby effectively regulating the adsorption of hydrogenation product methylcyclohexane on the surface of platinum nanoparticle catalyst and regulating the hydrogenation reaction of toluene.
[0006] Research on hydrogenation using organic hydrogen carriers, as exemplified by the aforementioned studies, reveals that current researchers primarily employ single-metal catalysts such as platinum, nickel, and ruthenium. However, these catalysts often suffer from low catalytic activity, low selectivity, and high loading of active components. Therefore, there is a need in this field for catalyst synthesis technologies and application processes that possess high hydrogenation activity for organic hydrogen carriers. Summary of the Invention

[0045] Example 1
[0046] This invention provides a bimetallic catalyst comprising a support and an active metal component. The support is porous alumina, and the active metal component is a mixture of platinum and ruthenium components, wherein the mass ratio of platinum to ruthenium is 6:1 to 1:5. In the ruthenium component, ruthenium mainly exists in the form of zero-valent ruthenium; in the platinum component, platinum mainly exists in the form of zero-valent platinum; and the ratio of the total mass of platinum and ruthenium to the mass of alumina is 1:9 to 1:300.
[0047] In this example, the mass ratio of platinum to ruthenium is 3:4, and the ratio of the total mass of the two metal components to the mass of aluminum oxide is 1:34.5.
[0048] This embodiment also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned bimetallic catalyst, which is an impregnation method, specifically including the following steps:
[0049] S1. Prepare an alumina carrier, which has the following characteristics: surface area of 184 m². 2 / g, with an average pore size of approximately 7.58nm and a water absorption rate of 0.9g water / g at room temperature; the alumina carrier that meets the above physicochemical properties is placed in an oven to dry and then transferred to a muffle furnace for calcination for 4 hours at a calcination temperature of 400℃ in an air calcination atmosphere;
[0050] S2. Impregnation of the metal precursor, specifically as follows: Ruthenium acetate is used as the ruthenium component precursor, and chloroplatinic acid is used as the platinum component precursor. An aqueous solution is prepared, wherein the mass ratio of platinum to ruthenium in the aqueous solution is 3:4, and the mass ratio of the total mass of platinum and ruthenium components to water is 1:31. This metal precursor aqueous solution is mixed with the above-mentioned alumina support at a ratio of 0.9:1 to complete the impregnation of the alumina support with the precursor aqueous solution; the mixture of the precursor aqueous solution and the alumina support is left at room temperature for 12 hours.
[0051] S3. After impregnation, the product is calcined. The specific steps are as follows: the product obtained in S2 is dried in an oven at atmospheric pressure and 100°C for 2 hours. After drying, the product is transferred to a muffle furnace for calcination at 450°C for 4 hours.
[0052] S4. Reduction treatment, the specific procedure is as follows: Place the product obtained in step S3 in a tube furnace and reduce the product in the tube furnace with hydrogen gas. The reduction temperature is 450℃, the heating rate is 5℃ / min, and after reaching the target temperature, the holding time is 4h. Then, allow it to cool naturally while maintaining a hydrogen atmosphere. From the start of heating to cooling to near room temperature, maintain a hydrogen flow rate of 45ml / min in the furnace tube.
[0053] Furthermore, this embodiment provides a process method for using the above-mentioned platinum-ruthenium bimetallic catalyst in the hydrogenation reaction of an organic hydrogen carrier, the specific steps of which are as follows:
[0054] A batch reactor was used. A certain amount of the above catalyst and a certain amount of organic hydrogen carrier were added to the reaction vessel of the reactor, with a mass ratio of 1:20. The organic hydrogen carrier was benzyltoluene. Under closed conditions, hydrogen gas was introduced to replace the air in the reactor, and the replacement was performed 3 times. Then, a one-way valve was used to maintain the hydrogen pressure at 4.5 MPa. The temperature in the reactor was controlled at 80℃, the stirring speed was 800 rpm, and the conditions were maintained for 80 min, after which the reaction was stopped.
[0055] After cooling and depressurizing the reactor, the sample inside the reactor was taken out and solid-liquid separation was performed; the product in the liquid phase was analyzed, and the degree of hydrogenation of the reaction was calculated to be 86%.
[0056] This invention focuses on developing bimetallic catalysts for the hydrogenation of organic hydrogen carriers (mainly benzyltoluene, but also including dibenzyltoluene, naphthalene, diphenylmethane, etc.), addressing the problem of low hydrogenation activity in current monometallic platinum-based catalysts. Currently, at temperatures ≤80℃, the degree of hydrogenation of benzyltoluene catalyzed by a 1.2 wt% platinum alumina catalyst is often below 30% within 80 min, hindering the application of benzyltoluene in hydrogen storage.
[0057] In this field, the physicochemical properties of catalysts, such as specific surface area and pore volume, are obtained through nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiments at 77K.
[0058] In this field, impregnation is a commonly used method for catalyst preparation. Its main steps involve dissolving the active metal component in water, where the volume of water is determined by the water absorption rate of the support, and the target concentration of the active metal component in the aqueous solution is determined by the target ratio of the metal to the support in the final catalyst product. To impregnate a larger amount of metal, a porous support with a large surface area is typically required. This method is common in the field, and its operational steps are well known to those skilled in the art.
[0059] In this embodiment, the mass ratio of the total mass of platinum and ruthenium metal components to water is 1:31, which is determined by the ratio of the total mass of the two components to the mass of alumina of 1:34.5, and the water absorption rate of alumina is 0.9g water / g.
[0060] In the above-mentioned catalyst preparation process, the main purpose of using ovens, muffle furnaces, and tube furnaces is to control the process conditions of catalyst preparation, not to limit the specific equipment used. In this field, the practice of using similar alternative methods to achieve the same process objective is a non-inventive extension and is in principle within the scope of protection of this case.
[0061] The above-mentioned liquid phase products were analyzed using elemental analyzers and gas chromatographs commonly used in this field, and the specific methods were conventional methods in this field; the formula for calculating the degree of hydrogenation (DoDH) obtained by product analysis using gas chromatography is as follows:
