Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of heterogeneous catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to a catalyst for normal alkane skeletal isomerization reaction, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Industrially, C4 alkanes primarily come from catalytic cracking units. Currently, alkylate production accounts for the largest scale within the C4 industry chain, followed by MTBE production. With the widespread promotion of natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has become the driving force behind C4 deep processing projects. Furthermore, with increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, accelerating gasoline quality upgrades has become increasingly important. The key focus of gasoline standard upgrades is to achieve "desulfurization, manganese reduction, and olefin reduction" while maintaining octane rating. Reducing olefins and aromatics makes it difficult to meet gasoline octane standards, making the development of high-octane clean components for gasoline blending crucial. Alkylate, with its high octane rating, low volatility, absence of aromatics and olefins, and near-zero sulfur content, is highly suitable for gasoline blending. One of the feedstocks for alkylate production is isobutane, making the development of catalysts for the skeletal isomerization of n-butane to isobutane crucial for clean gasoline production.

[0003] Isomerization catalysts typically utilize platinum halide / alumina catalysts with γ-Al₂O₃ as a support. During operation, an appropriate amount of chloride additive must be continuously added to the feedstock. The main drawback of this technology is the stringent requirements for water and sulfur content in the feedstock, which must be less than 0.1 ppm. Furthermore, the chlorine-containing substances produced during the reaction are corrosive to the equipment, increasing equipment material and maintenance costs, and also causing environmental pollution.

[0004] Zirconia-supported n-butane skeletal isomerization catalysts are not only chlorine-free, but also have relaxed requirements for raw material moisture and sulfur content and are regenerable, representing a promising development direction for isomerization catalysts. Patents CN107051420A, CN10822184A, CN10807998A, and CN109772287A disclose the preparation of zirconium oxide-based solid superacid catalysts and their application in alkane isomerization. Existing technologies often focus on catalyst activity, but lack stability, especially in the case of SO4 2- The main problems of ZrO2 catalysts are rapid deactivation and poor stability. Summary of the Invention

[0013] According to the present invention, the catalyst is modified using the active metal Pt on the one hand, and on the other hand, a special modification method is used to use molecules with coordination functions to complex with the metal centers, thereby suppressing the aggregation of the metal during the catalyst calcination process, thereby improving the dispersion of the active centers on the catalyst surface, and ultimately obtaining a catalyst with both activity and stability. Specifically, the present invention modifies the catalyst with ammonia water, and the NH3 molecules coordinate and complex with the Pt, which can prevent the growth of Pt particles during the calcination process, thereby facilitating the uniform distribution of the Pt centers on the catalyst surface and improving the catalyst stability.

[0014] The catalyst prepared by the invention is insensitive to the content of impurities such as oxygen and sulfur in the raw materials. The prepared catalyst has high catalytic activity and stability for the skeletal isomerization of n-butane at low temperature. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0067] 2. Specific surface area and pore size distribution (BET) tests were conducted on a Tristar-3000 automated adsorption instrument manufactured by Micromeritics, Inc., USA.

[0072] Take 100g of crushed zirconium hydroxide support and immerse it in 110mL of a mixed solution of dilute sulfuric acid and chloroplatinic acid (containing 8.0g of H2SO4 and 1.55g of Pt element). After sufficient stirring, immerse it for 24h and bake it at 110℃ for 24h to obtain a catalyst precursor.

[0073] The catalyst precursor was thoroughly ground and added to 100 mL of 15% ammonia solution. After thorough stirring, the mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 days.

The specific surface area and pore size of the resulting catalyst are shown in Table 1.

[0102] Example

[0103] The performance of the n-butane skeletal isomerization catalysts prepared in Preparation Examples 1-14 and Comparative Example 1 was evaluated in a fixed-bed continuous flow reactor system. The reactor was 5 mm × 40 cm in size, with a catalyst loading of 10 mL and a particle size of 20-40 mesh, placed in the constant temperature zone of the furnace. The reaction temperature was 180°C, the hydrogen pressure was 1 MPa, and the n-butane mass space velocity was 0.5 h-1. -1 The molar ratio of hydrogen to n-butane was 1:1, and the reaction products were analyzed online by gas chromatography. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0104] Table 1

[0105] Catalyst <![CDATA[Specific surface area / m 2 .g -1 > Average pore diameter / nm PtSZ-1 114 8.1 PtSZ-2 113 9.0 PtSZ-3 112 8.8 PtSZ-4 117 7.7 PtSZ-5 113 7.0 PtSZ-6 114 9.3 PtSZ-7 119 7.1 PtSZ-8 112 8.3 PtSZ-9 115 8.5 PtSZ-10 116 8.6 PtSZ-11 114 8.2 PtSZ-12 129 5.0 PtSZ-13 124 7.3 PtSZ-14 108 9.1 PtSZ-C1 101 8.4

[0106] Table 2

[0107]

[0108]

[0109] It can be seen from Table 1 that after the catalyst precursor is treated with ammonia water, the prepared catalyst has a larger specific surface area.

[0110] As shown in Table 2, when the catalyst support was not impregnated with ammonia solution, the n-butane conversion decreased from 52.2% to 43.0%, and the isobutane selectivity decreased from 85.2% to 83.0% after the catalyst was evaluated for ten days. However, after the catalyst was modified with ammonia solution, the catalyst activity and product selectivity decreased less, which shows that the use of ammonia solution treatment effectively improved the stability of the catalyst.
