Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of material characterization, and in particular to a device and a method for quantitatively determining the surface acidity of a material. Background Art

[0002] The acidic sites of materials such as solid acid catalysts are generally regarded as active sites on the surface of oxide catalysts. In reactions such as catalytic cracking, isomerization, and polymerization, hydrocarbon molecules and surface acidic sites interact to form positive carbon ions, which are intermediate products of the reaction. The positive carbon ions can theoretically successfully explain the reaction of hydrocarbons on the acidic surface and provide strong evidence for the existence of acidic sites. In order to characterize the properties of materials, it is necessary to measure the acid strength and acid amount of surface acidic sites.

[0003] Pyridine was the first probe molecule proposed for determining the surface acidity of catalysts. During the experiment, pyridine was saturatedly adsorbed on the purified catalyst, and then high vacuum desorption was performed under different temperature conditions. The weight change of the catalyst was measured in real time using a spring balance to obtain the acid strength distribution and acid amount of the catalyst.

[0004] The existing method for determining infrared acid is the gravimetric method, that is, using a spring balance to determine the acidity of the catalyst. However, this device is large in size, complicated to operate, and most importantly, uses an expensive altimeter, and requires manual observation and conversion, resulting in large errors in the determination. In order to facilitate the determination of the acidity of catalytic materials and improve the accuracy and repeatability of the acidity determination results, it is urgent to establish a catalytic material acidity determination device and method that can conveniently, quickly and accurately determine the material surface acidity information and improve the accuracy and repeatability of the determination. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems of large size, complicated operation and large error in measurement results of material surface acidity measurement devices in the prior art, the present invention provides a device and a measurement method for quantitative measurement of material surface acidity. By using the device, the acidity information of the catalytic material can be obtained, which is convenient for improving the accuracy of the measurement results and work efficiency. After the analysis starts, the control program automatically runs until the test process is completed and the results are calculated, thereby reducing the workload of analysts and improving the measurement accuracy.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] The technical purpose of the first aspect of the present invention is to provide a device for quantitatively determining the surface acidity of a material, comprising a hollow measuring tube, a spring suspended from the top is arranged inside the measuring tube, and an aperture and a sample basket are connected in sequence below the spring; in the horizontal direction of the aperture, a movable bracket is arranged outside the measuring tube, one end of the movable bracket is a light source, and the other end is a detector or an infrared camera, the movable bracket is movably fixedly mounted on a guide rail driven by a stepper motor, and can be controlled by the stepper motor to move up and down on the guide rail so that the light source, the aperture and the detector or the infrared camera are located on the same horizontal straight line, and the detector or the infrared camera and the stepper motor are all externally connected to a program control system; a heating device is arranged around the sample basket, the heating device is arranged outside the measuring tube, and a temperature detection device is arranged next to the sample basket, the heating device and the temperature detection device are both connected to the temperature control system outside the measuring tube, and the temperature control system is connected to the program control system; the measuring tube is also connected to an adsorption probe molecule tube and a vacuum system.

[0008] Furthermore, the light source is a red laser light source, and the same laser light source is used when the detector and the infrared camera are used.

[0009] Furthermore, the centers of the light source, the aperture and the detector or the infrared camera are on a horizontal line.

[0010] Furthermore, when a detector is installed at one end of the movable bracket, the movable bracket moves on the guide rail and is controlled by the program control system so that the light intensity detected by the detector after each movement is consistent with that before. The program control system records the angular rotation and direction information of the stepper motor during each movement, which corresponds to the change in spring length and is associated with the change in sample weight in the sample basket.

[0011] Furthermore, when an infrared camera is installed at one end of the movable bracket, the movable bracket moves on the guide rail and is controlled by the program control system so that the infrared image collected after each movement is consistent. The program control system records the angular rotation and direction information of the stepper motor during each movement, which corresponds to the change in spring length and is associated with the change in sample weight in the sample basket.

[0012] Furthermore, the measuring tube between the heating device and the sample basket is made of quartz glass, and the sample basket is made of quartz glass.

[0013] Furthermore, the heating device is a heating furnace; and the temperature detection device is a thermocouple.

[0014] Furthermore, the adsorption probe molecular tube is a pyridine tube.

[0015] Furthermore, the vacuum system is a combination of a molecular turbo pump and a mechanical pump, which can meet the vacuum degree of the system to reach 10 -4 Pa.

[0016] The technical purpose of the second aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for quantitatively determining the surface acidity of a material using the above-mentioned device, which is as follows:

[0017] First, the stepper motor is rotated through the program control system to drive the moving bracket to move, so that the light emitted by the light source is irradiated onto the detector through the slit in the center of the aperture or formed on the infrared camera. The program control system records the light intensity or image, and records the initial stepper motor angle and spring length. When the sample to be tested is placed in the sample basket, the vacuum degree is adjusted through the vacuum system, the temperature is adjusted through the heating device, and the adsorption probe molecule tube is opened to allow the sample to adsorb the molecular probe, the spring is deformed due to the change in sample weight, the aperture position changes, and the light transmittance detected by the detector or the image on the infrared camera changes accordingly, and the change information is output to the program control system. In order to keep the light intensity or image consistent with the previous one, the program control system sends a rotation command to the stepper motor, converts the angle and direction of the stepper motor rotation into a change in the spring length, and then associates it with the sample weight and the change in weight, thereby obtaining the acidity information of the sample to be tested.

[0018] Further, as one of the more specific implementations, the specific steps of determination are as follows:

[0019] (1) The program control system rotates the stepper motor to drive the movable bracket to move, so that the light emitted by the light source passes through the slit in the center of the aperture and is irradiated onto the detector or imaged on the infrared camera. The program control system records the light intensity or image, and records the initial stepper motor angle and spring length;

[0020] (2) A sample of a certain weight is placed in the sample basket. The spring becomes longer, the aperture position changes, and the light intensity detected by the detector or the image on the infrared camera changes. The change information is output to the program control system. In order to keep the light intensity or image consistent with the previous one, the program control system sends a rotation command to the stepper motor, converts the angle and direction of the stepper motor into a change in the spring length, and then associates it with the change in sample weight.

[0021] (3) The vacuum degree is adjusted by the vacuum system, and the temperature is adjusted by the heating device. The sample is subjected to high-temperature and high-vacuum purification treatment. After purification, the temperature is lowered to room temperature. The program control system automatically records the rotation angle and direction of the stepper motor. The adsorption probe molecule tube is opened to allow the sample to adsorb the molecular probe. After adsorption equilibrium, the probe molecule adsorption tube is closed, and the programmed temperature rise and vacuum treatment are started to obtain the correlation information between the rotation angle and direction of the stepper motor and the change in sample weight under different temperatures and pressures, thereby obtaining quantitative acidity information of the sample under different measurement conditions.

[0022] (4) After all temperature points are measured, the conversion relationship between spring length and sample weight is obtained based on the angle and direction data of the stepper motor rotation, and the acid content and acid strength distribution of the sample at different temperatures can be obtained.

[0023] In the above determination method, the technicians in this field should understand that in step (3), after the adsorption equilibrium is reached, the mass of the sample after the adsorption of the probe molecule also changes continuously due to the continuous change in temperature during the process of programmed heating and vacuum treatment. The program control system controls the rotation of the stepper motor, uses the light source and the detector or the infrared camera to track the change in the aperture height, and converts the change in the spring length through the rotation angle and direction of the stepper motor. Therefore, the program control system needs to continuously change the angle output to the stepper motor to track the sample height; the programmed heating should be maintained for a period of time at multiple preset temperature points so that the sample reaches the adsorption-desorption equilibrium state at the corresponding temperature, and then the motor rotation angle and direction at the corresponding temperature points are recorded respectively.

[0024] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0025] (1) The device of the present invention can quantitatively measure the acid content and acid strength distribution of various catalyst materials, has a wide range of applications, and has high accuracy and repeatability of the results. During the measurement process, the device automatically completes the measurement, reducing manual operations, and is easy and convenient to implement;

[0026] (2) This device does not require an expensive height gauge to measure the change in spring length and has the advantages of small size and easy operation;

[0027] (3) The acidity determination device can be completely encapsulated in an instrument housing, becoming a conventional analytical instrument that can be directly placed on a test bench, providing assistance for the development of new catalytic materials. The device has good application prospects and commercial value.

[0028] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
