Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of isomerization catalysts, and specifically relates to a eutectic molecular sieve and a preparation method thereof, a catalyst for isomerization reaction of xylene material containing ethylbenzene and a preparation method thereof, and a method for isomerization reaction of xylene material containing ethylbenzene. Background Art

[0002] p-Xylene (PX) is an important chemical raw material, mainly used for the production of terephthalic acid, terephthalic acid diester, phthalic anhydride, and is also applied in the fields of coatings, dyes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. With the development of these industries, the demand for PX has increased rapidly. At present, the main process technology for increasing PX production is xylene isomerization, which is an important means to convert meta-xylene and ortho-xylene with low utilization value into PX.

[0003] Through the xylene isomerization reaction, the p-xylene in the product reaches or approaches the thermodynamic equilibrium value. The PX product can be separated out by the separation device from the product, and then a small amount of light non-aromatics, benzene, toluene, and C 9 + heavy aromatics are separated out, and the remaining C 8 aromatic material can be recycled as the raw material for isomerization.

[0004] Under the existing technical conditions, it is very difficult and uneconomical to separate ethylbenzene from xylene whether by using high-efficiency rectification or adsorption separation means. Therefore, ethylbenzene must be converted simultaneously during the xylene isomerization process. There are two different target directions for ethylbenzene conversion: ethylbenzene is converted into xylene, and ethylbenzene is dealkylated to form benzene. The economy of the two directions depends on the composition of the raw materials, the energy consumption of the device, and the market conditions.

[0005] CN1887423A discloses a deethylation type isomerization catalyst for ethylbenzene, the active component of which is MFI type molecular sieve. The deethylation type catalyst has a high single-pass conversion rate of ethylbenzene, few material circulation times, and a high PX content in the adsorption feed. Therefore, in recent years, the production capacity of aromatic combined devices using deethylation type catalysts has increased.

[0006] CN102107144A discloses a conversion type isomerization catalyst for ethylbenzene, the active component of which is EUO type molecular sieve. The conversion type catalyst has a relatively low single-pass conversion rate of ethylbenzene and many material circulation times, but it can convert ethylbenzene into the target product xylene, maximizing the utilization of raw material resources. With the change of the market, when the price of C 8 aromatic raw materials is high and the benzene product is in surplus, the economy of the conversion type process will be better than that of the deethylation type process.

[0007] The comprehensive performance of the above two types of catalysts still needs to be improved. Specifically, highly active catalysts usually also lead to higher side reactions, resulting in a decrease in process selectivity and a loss of xylene yield. Modification of the acidic component zeolite is an important means to improve catalyst performance. At present, many methods have been used to modify the acidic components of catalysts. Hydrothermal modification or addition of rare earth elements to zeolites is more commonly used to modify the acidity of the active components of zeolites. The effect of modification is to optimize the acid distribution of zeolites and weaken the acid sites of side reactions.

[0008] So far, no catalyst can simultaneously have the dual functions of converting ethylbenzene to xylene or deethylating to benzene, nor is there a process for correspondingly adjusting operating conditions for raw materials with different ethylbenzene mass fractions to achieve the switching of the two routes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a catalyst that can simultaneously deethylate ethylbenzene and convert ethylbenzene to xylene. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The object of the present invention is to overcome the problems of low raw material adaptability, low catalytic activity of the catalyst, and harsh reaction conditions of existing xylene isomerization catalysts due to their inability to simultaneously have the functions of deethylating ethylbenzene and converting ethylbenzene to xylene.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0026] (1) The eutectic molecular sieve provided by the present invention comprises an MFI molecular sieve and an EUO molecular sieve, and the MFI molecular sieve covers at least part of the surface of the EUO molecular sieve, so that the eutectic molecular sieve simultaneously has the pore structures of the MFI molecular sieve and the EUO molecular sieve; in particular, considering the crystal grain size of the MFI molecular sieve, the crystal grain size of the EUO molecular sieve, and the silica-alumina ratio of the eutectic molecular sieve, the eutectic molecular sieve has two completely different pore structures; meanwhile, the eutectic molecular sieve is prepared by a one-step synthesis method, which simplifies the process flow;
