Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a propane dehydrogenation catalyst, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of catalyst technology. Background Technology

[0002] Propylene is used to produce polypropylene, propylene oxide, butanol, phenol, propylene glycol, acetone, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, octanol, and isopropanol, making it an important basic chemical raw material and petrochemical intermediate. With the rapid development of my country's economy, domestic demand for propylene is growing rapidly. However, traditional propylene production technologies, such as steam cracking and catalytic cracking, which produce propylene as a byproduct, suffer from problems such as the use of lighter feedstocks and slow production growth. Therefore, propylene produced through traditional processes can no longer meet the demand.

[0003] In recent years, with the large-scale exploitation of shale gas in the United States and natural gas in the Middle East, the technology of propane dehydrogenation to produce propylene has received increasing attention and achieved significant development. This technology has advantages such as a short process, high yield, few byproducts, and low investment cost. Currently, the most widely used propane dehydrogenation processes are UOP's Oleflex process and Lummus's Catofin process, which use Pt and Cr as active catalysts, respectively, and alumina as the support. Alumina is the most commonly used support for propane dehydrogenation catalysts, possessing advantages such as large specific surface area, high thermal stability, high mechanical strength, and the ability to disperse metal active components. However, due to the presence of numerous acidic sites on the alumina surface, side reactions such as hydrogenolysis, isomerization, and coking can be exacerbated, leading to lower propylene selectivity. Adding a certain amount of alkaline metal promoters to the catalyst can, to some extent, suppress the occurrence of side reactions. Examples include US patents US2014275686A1 and US2013072739A1; and Chinese patents CN103990454A, CN104289220A, and CN103787810A. However, propylene selectivity is often still below 92%.

[0004] Compared to alumina, activated carbon has a larger specific surface area and weaker acidity / basicity, which can significantly improve the selectivity of propylene products when used as a propane dehydrogenation catalyst support. For example, CN109745978A discloses a propane dehydrogenation catalyst with Pt-Sn supported on a mesoporous carbon material. CN112403458A discloses a propane dehydrogenation catalyst with Cr supported on a non-metallic carbon material. CN109926038A directly uses waste tea carbon as a propane dehydrogenation catalyst. However, most of these reported carbon-supported catalysts use irregular granular activated carbon such as powdered activated carbon or coconut shell carbon as raw materials, which have problems such as difficulty in molding and low strength, making it difficult to meet the needs of practical industrial applications.

[0121] Example 20: Performance evaluation of propane dehydrogenation catalyst

[0122] The long-life performance of the catalyst Cat-1 prepared in Example 7 for propane dehydrogenation was evaluated in a quartz tubular fixed-bed reactor. The catalyst was loaded with 0.15 g (0.3 mL) and heated to 600 °C at a rate of 5 °C / min under H2 conditions. Reduction was carried out for 2 hours, followed by propane introduction. The evaluation period was 160 hours. The reaction conditions were: temperature 600 °C, pressure 0.01 MPa, WHSV = 6 h. -1 The molar ratio of H2 to C3H8 was 0.5. The reaction products were analyzed online by gas chromatography using an Agilent 7890A. The chromatographic conditions were: injection temperature 180℃, column oven temperature 105℃, FID detector temperature 200℃, and HP-Al2O3 / KCl column. The reaction results over time are shown in the curve below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0123] from Figure 4 As can be seen, during the long-term average process of 160h, the propane conversion of catalyst Cat-1 only decreased from 41.2% to 36.0%, and the propylene selectivity remained between 98% and 99%, demonstrating excellent catalytic stability and high propylene selectivity.
