Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of ammonia synthesis catalysts, and particularly relates to a graphitized activated carbon supported iron-cobalt bimetallic catalyst for synthesizing ammonia and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The annual ammonia production in the world exceeds 150 million tons, about 80% of which is used for producing chemical fertilizers, and the rest is mainly used as raw materials for various nitrogen-containing chemical products, applied in the fields of medicines, explosives and plastics. Recently, it is found that ammonia is an ideal hydrogen storage material and a carbon-free energy, which is an important chemical related to the development of the field of renewable energy in the future. Therefore, the demand for ammonia in human society will increase day by day, and it is necessary to continuously develop new ammonia synthesis processes that can efficiently synthesize ammonia under mild conditions, and the key is the design and development of cheap and high-performance catalysts.
[0003] It is known that the ammonia synthesis reaction is composed of a series of elementary reaction steps such as adsorption, activation, reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen molecules, and desorption of intermediates and products, so the catalyst needs to have enough active sites to improve its ammonia synthesis performance. The specific surface area of the existing molten iron ammonia synthesis catalyst is low, resulting in low adsorption efficiency of ammonia synthesis reaction gas on the surface of the catalyst, so it needs to be kept under high pressure (15-30 MPa) and high temperature (450-510 ℃) harsh reaction conditions to maintain high activity, and the reaction energy consumption is high and the emission is large. The second generation of ruthenium-based ammonia synthesis catalysts can operate under relatively mild conditions (380−440 ℃, 10−11.0 MPa), but the price of ruthenium metal is high, and the cost of the catalyst is high, which is a problem that cannot be avoided in the large-scale industrial application of Ru-based catalysts. Therefore, it is urgent to develop more cost-effective high-performance catalysts, especially catalysts that can efficiently synthesize ammonia under relatively mild conditions.
[0004] In view of the problem, the application uses graphitized activated carbon as a carrier, combines a CO-containing atmosphere treatment step, and introduces cobalt metal, so that the iron metal particles in the obtained graphitized activated carbon supported iron-cobalt bimetallic catalyst are small, and a large amount of superparamagnetic iron oxide exists in the prepared catalyst, so the catalyst has high ammonia synthesis activity.

[0083] Figure 1 HADDF-STEM images and particle size distribution diagrams of the 5K-10Fe / C-H catalyst (a) obtained in Comparative Example 1 and the 5K-2Co-10Fe / C catalyst (b) obtained in Example 1. As can be seen from the images, compared with Comparative Example 1, the size of the iron metal particles in the catalyst prepared by heat treating the graphitized activated carbon supported iron catalyst with CO and introducing Co in Example 1 is significantly reduced, and the average particle size is reduced from 27.8 nm of the 5K-10Fe / C-H catalyst to 8.1 nm, which is close to the particle size (26.9 and 9.2 nm) measured by O2 chemisorption in Table 1. At the same time, the O2 chemisorption results of the catalysts show that when the iron addition amount is the same, the iron particle size of the catalyst treated with CO is lower, indicating that the difference in catalyst treatment conditions is an important factor affecting the iron particle size.
[0084] Figure 2 Mossbauer spectra of the 5K-10Fe / C-H catalyst (a) obtained in Comparative Example 1 and the 5K-2Co-10Fe / C catalyst (b) obtained in Example 1. As can be seen from the images, in the 5K-10Fe / C-H catalyst, only α-Fe (93.3%) and a small amount of γ-Fe (6.7%) phases exist. In the 5K-2Co-10Fe / C catalyst, α-Fe (32.8%) and a large amount of superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe 3+ )(25.7%) are detected at the same time; in addition, the Mossbauer spectrum characterization shows that there is a significant magnetic relaxation phenomenon in the catalyst, which indicates that there are multiple Fe active sites with different interactions with the Co component in the 5K-2Co-10Fe / C catalyst. Smaller iron particle size and a larger variety of active sites can play a role in the activation, reaction and ammonia desorption steps of nitrogen and hydrogen, respectively, thus improving the ammonia synthesis activity of the catalyst.
[0085] The ammonia synthesis catalysts obtained in the examples and comparative examples were evaluated for catalytic activity in a high-pressure activity test device. During the test, 0.3 g of the catalyst was mixed with quartz sand and packed in the isothermal zone of the reactor. The reaction gas was a nitrogen and hydrogen mixture obtained by high-temperature catalytic cracking of ammonia, and the hydrogen to nitrogen ratio was 3:1; the reaction conditions were: pressure 1 MPa, reaction temperature 400 °C, reaction space velocity 3.6x10 4 cm3 g -1 h -1 The results of the catalytic activity determination are shown in Table 1.
[0086] Table 1
[0087]
[0088] As shown in Table 1, the ammonia synthesis rate of the catalyst prepared without Co or K and without introducing carbon-containing organic matter or without graphitization is low, and under the same conditions, the ammonia synthesis rate of the iron-cobalt bimetallic catalyst supported on the graphitized activated carbon obtained in the examples is obviously higher than that of the catalyst obtained in the comparative examples, which proves that the catalyst has good ammonia synthesis catalytic activity and good application prospect.
