Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of in-situ testing of catalysts, and particularly to an in-situ testing device and method for catalyst reactions. Background Art

[0002] Research and development of high-performance catalysts is of great significance for promoting the green, low-carbon and sustainable development of the chemical industry. To control and improve the performance of catalysts, it is first necessary to explore the key surface and interface structures (such as coordination, electronic and crystal structures, etc.) that play a catalytic role, and reveal their mechanisms of action in real catalytic processes, so as to conduct rational design of catalysts under the guidance of reasonable mechanisms. For heterogeneous catalysts, especially metals and oxides, they are usually composed of complex crystalline and amorphous substances. Under real reaction conditions, the interaction between such crystals and amorphous substances and reaction molecules further undergoes dynamic structural evolution. Since conventional laboratory structure analysis methods cannot quickly and finely detect such dynamics, it is difficult to truly and clearly characterize the structure of catalysts during the reaction process, and thus it is impossible to understand the mechanism of catalyst action from the essence.

[0003] Using X-rays generated by synchrotron radiation to study the catalytic behavior of catalysts in-situ is an important research field in the field of heterogeneous catalysis in recent years. Through X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (abbreviated as: XAFS), especially the Quick XAFS (abbreviated as: QXAFS), it is possible to in-situ monitor the electrons, valence states, and coordination structures of catalytic materials during the reaction process at the second level and characterize their dynamics. In addition, the time resolution of synchrotron radiation X-ray powder diffraction technology (abbreviated as: XRD) is higher (at the millisecond level), and it can obtain microscopic information such as the phase, grain size, lattice strain, and defects of catalysts. Currently, synchrotron radiation testing devices for in-situ testing of catalysts often have problems such as large device structure, poor compatibility, complex operation, and limited application range, making it difficult to simultaneously perform XAFS and XRD tests on catalysts. Moreover, since the samples of currently designed synchrotron radiation devices usually adopt the tablet pressing mode, there is a large difference from the actual granular catalysts in the reaction process, and it is difficult to truly reveal the structural changes of catalysts in the in-situ flow field. In addition, the conventional use of window plates such as quartz brings strong absorption and non-sample diffraction signals, resulting in poor signal quality of in-situ test results, difficulty in separating the window plate diffraction data from the samples, and affecting the analysis and application of data. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a portable in-situ synchrotron radiation device with a flow field structure close to real catalytic reaction processes such as fixed beds, which can simultaneously perform spectroscopy tests such as XAFS (X-ray Absorption Fine Structure) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) to overcome the problems existing in the above-mentioned existing synchrotron radiation testing devices.

[0052] To make the above purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation modes.

[0053] Embodiment 1

[0054] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a catalyst reaction in-situ testing device, which is specifically a testing device for in-situ synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption and diffraction of multi-phase catalytic fixed bed reactions, mainly composed of connection kit a 1, upright bracket 2, connection kit b 3, base 5, horizontal bracket 6, connection kit c 7, sample stage 8, sample tube 10, thermocouple jack 11, heating rod 12, thermocouple 13, reaction gas cylinder 14, pressure reducing valve 15, electronic flowmeter 16, liquid raw material tank 17 - 1, high performance liquid chromatography feed pump 17 - 2, vaporization tank 18, cold trap 19, back pressure valve 20, amorphous silicon area detector 21, and a control system 22 with data acquisition and processing functions. The above connection kit a 1, connection kit b 3, and connection kit c 7 all include through holes, threaded holes, and screws. Among them:

[0055] The reaction gas cylinder 14, pressure reducing valve 15, and electronic flowmeter 16 are connected in sequence through 1 / 8-inch steel pipes; the electronic flowmeter 16 is connected to the high-performance liquid chromatography feed pump 17-2 and vaporization tank 18 through a 1 / 8 steel pipe and a tee; if there are multiple gases, the parallel quantity of the reaction gas cylinder 14, pressure reducing valve 15, and electronic flowmeter 16 can be increased through a tee or a four-way; the outlet of the vaporization tank 18 is connected to the inlet end of the sample tube 10 through a 1 / 8 steel pipe and a 1 / 16 to 1 / 8 reducing structure; the reaction gas cylinder 14 mainly provides the high-pressure gas required for the in-situ catalytic reaction, and the outlet pressure is controlled by the pressure reducing valve 15 and connected to the electronic flowmeter 16; the outlet of the sample tube 10 is connected to the cold trap 19 through a 1 / 16 to 1 / 8 reducing structure and a 1 / 8 steel pipe, and the cold trap 19 is connected to the electronic pressure gauge through a 1 / 8 steel pipe; the electronic pressure gauge is connected to the cold trap 19 and the back pressure valve 20 through a 1 / 8 steel pipe and a tee; the sample tube 10 passes through the sample tube socket of the sample tube mounting block on the sample stage 8 and is fixed on both sides through a connection kit and a liner, and the middle part of the sample tube 10 is exposed so that X-rays can pass through; the thermocouple 13 is inserted into the thermocouple socket 11 on the sample stage 8 below the middle part of the sample tube 10; the direction of the high-energy synchrotron X-ray is perpendicular to the sample tube 10 and passes through the middle of the sample. The synchrotron X-ray absorption second ionization chamber is placed along the X-ray direction to detect the X-rays emitted from the sample to test and obtain the transmission absorption spectrum signal; when the sample content is low, a fluorescence or solid detector can be used to obtain the absorption spectrum along the direction perpendicular to the sample tube; the synchrotron X-ray diffraction signal is detected by an amorphous silicon planar detector. The reaction gas flow rate, sample temperature, pressure data, and control are completed through the control system 22, and the control system 22 can process XAFS data (i.e., X-ray absorption spectrum) and XRD spectrum data (i.e., X-ray diffraction spectrum).

[0056] In this embodiment, the energy of the synchrotron X-ray is the high-energy X-ray of the element to be tested at 8-50 keV. The energy fixed at the element edge before is used for XRD testing while XAFS testing is being carried out.

[0057] In this embodiment, the material of the sample tube 10 can be polyimide or beryllium, with a wall thickness of 0.08 mm to 0.6 mm and an outer diameter of 0.4 mm to 3 mm. When the reaction pressure is 0 to 3 MPa and the temperature is < 300 °C, XAFS data with a higher signal-to-noise ratio can be obtained using a polyimide tube. Under the condition of ensuring that the in-situ catalytic reaction conditions are met, the sample tube is mainly made of polyimide. The catalyst powder sample 9 to be measured is first formed and sieved before use, and the particle size is between 400 mesh and 100 mesh. The catalyst powder sample 9 to be measured is fed into the sample tube 10 through a steel tube with a diameter of 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm. The length of the sample in the sample tube 10 is 5 mm to 10 mm, and both ends are blocked and fixed with quartz wool and a liner tube to ensure that the airflow passing through the sample does not cause the sample to move. During the experiment, by adjusting the height of the sample stage 8, it is ensured that the centers of the sample tube 10, the thermocouple 13, the sample, and the synchrotron X-ray irradiation center are basically coincident. For the XAFS signal of the sample, by finely adjusting the position of the sample stage and comparing the rapid scan signal of the XAFS device, the spectral quality is optimized.

[0058] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned thermocouple 13 for temperature measurement is preferably a K-type thermocouple. The parallel distance between the sample tube 10 and the thermocouple 13 is 0 to 0.2 mm. The sample stage 8 is in contact with both ends of the sample tube 10, and the middle part of the sample tube 10 is heated by conduction and radiation through the sample stage 8. Before use, it is necessary to correct the actual temperature inside the sample tube 10 and the temperature of the sample stage 8, and the temperature difference is 10 °C to 30 °C.

[0059] In this embodiment, the sample stage 8 is preferably made of 304 stainless steel or pure copper, and a sufficient arc-shaped space is left in the middle of the upper part, so that XRD signals can be collected in the range of 180 degrees. The volume of the cold trap 19 is 1 mL to 10 mL, the material is 304 stainless steel, and the pressure limit of use is 10 MPa.

[0060] In this embodiment, the liquid flow rate is controlled by the high-performance liquid chromatography feed pump 17-2, and the flow rate range is 0 mL / min to 1.000 mL / min.

[0061] In this embodiment, the vaporization tank 18 and the pipeline from the vaporization tank 18 to the sample tube 10 are heated by a heating tape, and the temperature range is 25 °C to 200 °C. The ultimate working pressure of the back pressure valve 20 is 10 MPa to 15 MPa.

[0062] In this embodiment, the heating rod 12 has an internal electric heating wire, and the material is a 5 mm rod-shaped structure of iron-chromium-aluminum alloy wire, nickel-chromium alloy wire or tungsten wire. It can be simply inserted and removed from the sample stage 8, which is convenient for the installation of the sample tube 10. The heating temperature can reach 800 °C. Due to the characteristics of the polyimide and beryllium tube materials, the operating temperature is optimized to 0 to 600 °C.

[0063] In this embodiment, the amorphous silicon planar detector 21 is a PerkinElmer XRD1622 detector or an energy-resolving detector. Among them, the diffraction data obtained by the PerkinElmer XRD1622 detector is a binary diffraction ring picture file, and the FIT2D software (an existing data processing software) is used to convert the diffraction ring into a spectrum of intensity and diffraction angle. The energy-resolving detector can achieve picosecond-level synchrotron radiation infrared spectroscopy detection and obtain surface dynamic reaction information.

[0064] In this embodiment, the electronic flowmeter 16 is a high-precision electronic mass flowmeter with a flow range of 0 - 50 ccm.

[0065] During the in-situ hydrogenation of levulinic acid in aqueous phase over the Pt-TiO2 / α-Al2O3 catalyst, the dynamic synchrotron radiation XAFS and XRD spectra were obtained by testing. The Pt-TiO2 / α-Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by atomic layer deposition technology. First, a 40-cycle titanium oxide film (3 nm) was deposited on the surface of α-Al2O3 nanospheres, and then 30 cycles of platinum were deposited. Platinum nanoparticles with a size of 2 nm were loaded on the surface of the titanium oxide film. Then, the Pt-TiO2 / α-Al2O3 catalyst was loaded into the sample tube 10. After that, liners were placed at both ends of the sample tube 10, and the prepared sample tube 10 was placed on the sample stage 8. The middle 3 mm of the sample tube 10 was in the middle of the upper sector-shaped groove (i.e., the above-mentioned sector-shaped notch) of the sample stage 8 to ensure that the synchrotron radiation X-ray vertically passed through the sample tube 10 and to ensure that the X-ray diffraction spectrum passed through the rotation center of the amorphous silicon planar detector. The XAFS and XRD spectra of the initial state of the test sample were measured, and the best spectroscopic information was obtained by finely adjusting the height of the sample stage 10.

[0066] When conducting the in-situ test experiment: adjust the reaction gas cylinder 14, pressure reducing valve 15, and electronic flowmeter 16, and introduce hydrogen into the sample tube 10. After detecting no air leakage, increase the system pressure to 2 MPa and set the hydrogen flow rate to 10 mL / min. Set the temperature of the heating tape to 60 °C, and then turn on the high-performance liquid chromatography feed pump 17-2 to continuously introduce a 10 wt% aqueous solution of levulinic acid into the system at a flow rate of 0.001 mL / min. The liquid is vaporized in the vaporization tank 18 and then passes through the sample tube 10 together with hydrogen. The liquid product is recovered in the cold trap 19 after cooling, and the gas product is discharged to the outside of the room at atmospheric pressure through the back pressure valve 20. Set the heating rate of the heating rod 12 to 5 °C / min, and the target temperatures are set to 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 °C. The XAFS and XRD spectra during the heating process and under different temperature conditions were measured. The XAFS data was processed by the Athena software (an existing data processing software), and the XRD spectra were processed by FIT2D. Figure 8Research and analysis show that Pt particles are in the metallic state during the in-situ process. With the change of temperature, the Pt-Pt coordination number dynamically changes between 9.3 and 10. At the same time, the XRD pattern shows that in addition to the significant diffraction peak of α-Al2O3, there is also a typical diffraction peak of Pt metal particles, and the intensity of this peak dynamically changes with the change of temperature. These results indicate that the Pt-TiO2 / α-Al2O3 catalyst interacts with reactants and solvent water during the in-situ reaction process, and the Pt particles dynamically change within a certain range.

[0067] It can be seen that the in-situ test device for catalyst reaction proposed by this technical solution has a simple structure. The flow state of the reaction gas can be controlled by controlling the size of the catalyst powder sample particles, the inner diameter of the sample tube, and the flow rate of the high-pressure gas. It can be used to monitor the in-situ catalyst structure evolution law during the fixed-bed catalytic reaction process. Through the open arc groove design of the sample stage, it can ensure that high-energy X-rays pass through, and at the same time collect the transmission XAFS absorption spectrum in the ray direction, the vertical ray square XAFS fluorescence spectrum, and the XRD signal at 180-degree azimuth, and obtain the changes in the valence state, coordination structure, and crystal structure information of the sample during the catalytic in-situ reaction process on the same time scale. In addition, using a polyimide tube as the sample tube with a thinner tube wall (0.001 - 0.1 mm) not only has the advantages of good flexibility and strength, can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the XAFS signal, can control the optimal thickness of the sample penetrated by X-rays by fine-tuning the height of the tube, and obtain the highest signal-to-noise ratio. Using beryllium as the sample tube can increase the temperature and pressure range of the in-situ test and has a good transmission signal. The related system solves the problems that the previous equipment cannot reflect the true in-situ spectroscopic information of the heterogeneous catalytic reaction, has poor signals, and cannot simultaneously achieve multiple spectroscopic monitoring, and has important value and significance for promoting the development of heterogeneous catalysts.
