AI Technical Summary
Existing silica-alumina molecular sieve catalysts are susceptible to the effects of oxygen-containing compounds in the hydroisomerization of long-chain alkanes, leading to framework structure collapse, reduced catalytic performance, and low activity and isomer yield, making it difficult to meet the high-value requirements of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology.
A one-dimensional ten-membered ring silica-alumina molecular sieve was treated with a mixed solution of fluoride and organic amine. The molecular sieve framework was repaired through stirring and calcination, and the uncoordinated silica-alumina structure was transformed into acidic sites to enhance hydrophobicity, thus preparing a highly stable catalyst.
This improved the stability and isomer yield of the catalyst under high temperature and high pressure conditions, enhanced its tolerance to oxygen-containing compounds, and improved its catalytic activity and the efficiency of the isomerization reaction.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalyst technology, specifically relating to a highly stable molecular sieve and a n-alkane hydroisomerization catalyst prepared therefrom. Background Technology
[0002] my country's energy characteristics are "abundant in coal and scarce in oil". Therefore, producing oil products through coal gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis to replace petrochemicals is of great strategic significance for alleviating the increasingly tense contradiction between energy supply and demand, sustainable development and social stability.
[0003] Fischer-Tropsch synthesis feedstocks can be derived from coal, natural gas, coalbed methane, and biomass, making them widely available. The products of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis contain extremely low levels of non-ideal components such as aromatics, sulfur, and nitrogen, making them excellent raw materials for high-quality diesel and lubricating oil bases. However, since most Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products are n-alkanes with high pour and freezing points and poor low-temperature fluidity, it is necessary to upgrade and modify them using hydroisomerization technology. Furthermore, the products contain a certain amount of oxygen-containing compounds such as alcohols, acids, aldehydes, and ketones, which can easily damage the catalyst structure and reduce catalytic performance during isomerization, placing higher demands on catalyst stability and tolerance to oxygen-containing compounds.
[0004] Hydroisomerization catalysts for n-alkanes are mostly bifunctional catalysts, with the supported metal component and acidic support providing the functions of addition / dehydrogenation and isomerization, respectively. One-dimensional ten-membered ring silica-alumina molecular sieves, in particular, possess the function of an acidic support and exhibit excellent pore shape selectivity, which can enhance the activity, selectivity, and stability of the isomerization catalyst. Therefore, silica-alumina molecular sieves such as ZSM-23, ZSM-22, ZSM-48, Nu-10, and Theta-1 have broad application prospects in the hydroisomerization reaction of n-alkanes. However, most silica-alumina molecular sieves cannot tolerate high concentrations of oxygen-containing compounds, exhibiting prominent problems such as silica-alumina migration, framework structure collapse, reduced catalytic performance, and catalyst deactivation during high-temperature, high-pressure isomerization reactions, hindering the development and application of this technology.
[0005] The report "The Effect of Ethanol on the Alkane Isomerization Performance of Pt / SAPO-11 and Pt / ZSM-22 Catalysts" suggests that ethanol has a significant impact on the isomerization performance of Pt / ZSM-22 catalysts. With increasing ethanol content, the activity and isomer selectivity of the catalyst gradually decrease, and the silicon-aluminum ZSM-22 molecular sieve has poor resistance to oxygen-containing compounds.
[0006] In the hydroisomerization of long-chain alkanes, oxygen-containing compounds tend to adsorb onto the uncoordinated, unsaturated silicon-aluminum structures in the molecular sieve framework. This leads to desilication and dealuminization of the molecular sieve framework during the reaction (≥280℃, ≥1.0MPa), resulting in framework collapse, decreased pore shape selectivity, and a rapid and significant reduction in catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability. The uncoordinated, unsaturated silicon and aluminum structures in the molecular sieve mostly exist as Lewis acid sites and cannot function effectively in the hydroisomerization of long-chain alkanes. The skeletal rearrangement at acidic sites is a key factor leading to low activity and low isomer yield of isomer catalysts.
[0007] In summary, the hydroisomerization of n-alkanes using efficient and stable catalysts is an important development direction for realizing the high-value application of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology and the preparation of clean fuels and chemicals. However, the tolerance of isomerization catalysts to oxygen-containing compounds is often overlooked, especially with the rapid development of biomass-to-oil technology, the influence of oxygen-containing compounds (alcohols, acids, aldehydes, and ketones, etc.) in oil products on hydroisomerization catalysts has become an increasingly critical issue. Therefore, it is necessary to employ easy-to-operate and highly reproducible techniques to repair the framework structure of one-dimensional ten-membered ring siliceous aluminosilicate molecular sieves, reduce uncoordinated saturated framework structures, and promote the transformation of Lewis acidic sites in the molecular sieve. The key issues that need to be addressed in isomerization catalysts are to enhance the hydrophobicity of the molecular sieve support by creating acidic sites, thereby increasing the activity and isomer yield of the isomerization catalyst, and improving its tolerance to oxygen-containing compounds under high temperature and high pressure reaction conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The aim is to overcome the problems of low catalytic activity and isomer yield when molecular sieves are used in the hydroisomerization reaction of long-chain alkanes, and the molecular sieve structure is damaged and catalytic performance is reduced due to the influence of oxygen-containing compounds. The aim is to provide a highly stable molecular sieve and a catalyst for preparing n-alkanes hydroisomerization using it.

[0098] 3. Catalytic performance test when using Fischer-Tropsch refined wax and a mixture of Fischer-Tropsch refined wax and 1-heptanol as raw materials.
[0099] Using catalyst A2 as described in Example 2 and catalyst D1 as described in Comparative Example 1, refined wax from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (distillation range: 350–450°C) was used as raw material in a fixed-bed reactor under the following process conditions: reaction temperature 330°C, hydrogen partial pressure 3.0 MPa, and volume hourly space velocity 1.5 h⁻¹. -1 The hydroisomerization reaction was carried out at a hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio of 800, and the catalytic performance results are shown in Table 3.
[0100] Using catalyst A2 as described in Example 2 and catalyst D1 as described in Comparative Example 1, a mixture of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis refined wax (distillation range: 350–450 °C) and 1-heptanol was used as raw material in a fixed-bed reactor under the following process conditions: reaction temperature 330 °C, hydrogen partial pressure 3.0 MPa, and volume hourly space velocity 1.5 h⁻¹. -1 The hydroisomerization reaction was carried out at a hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio of 800, and the catalytic performance results are shown in Table 3.
[0101] This invention proposes that during the repair process, uncoordinated and unsaturated Si and Al species (such as Si-OH) located at the crystal boundary of the silica-alumina molecular sieve are activated by the fluorides in the repair agent, detach from the framework structure, and combine with organic amines in the repair agent. They then migrate back into the molecular sieve structure, interacting with uncoordinated lattice defect sites in the framework to form a saturated four-coordinate structure. Finally, during high-temperature calcination, the organic amines decompose and are removed, forming a more fully coordinated molecular sieve framework structure. A schematic diagram of the repair process is provided using ZSM-23 molecular sieve (MTT topology) as an example. Figure 8 As shown.
[0102] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that, compared with the unrepaired Comparative Example 1 sample, the outer surface of the repaired Example 1 sample is flatter and there is no obvious uneven morphology. This indicates that some unsaturated coordination components are saturated through the repair reaction process under the action of the repair agent, and the molecular sieve structure is more complete.
[0103] Figure 2 The results show that after the repair treatment, the XRD diffraction peak positions of the samples in each embodiment did not shift significantly, but the diffraction peak intensities increased substantially, indicating that the repair process helps to make the molecular sieve phase structure more complete. The crystallinity data calculated from the XRD spectra are listed in Table 1. Obviously, compared with the unrepaired Comparative Example 1 sample, the XRD crystallinity of the samples in each embodiment is significantly improved.
[0104] Figure 3 This indicates that the sample after repair treatment... 29 In the Si MAS NMR spectrum, the chemical shifts in the range of -105 to -110 ppm represent uncoordinated saturated silicon species (such as Si-OH). Compared with the untreated Comparative Example 1 sample, the silicon spectrum of Example 2 shows a narrowing trend, and the NMR peaks of uncoordinated silicon species almost completely disappear, indicating that after the repair treatment, the uncoordinated Si in the aluminosilicate molecular sieve is transformed into a saturated four-coordinated structure. 27 In the Al MAS NMR spectrum, Comparative Example 1 without repair treatment has uncoordinated non-framework Al species at a chemical shift of 0. Example 2, which was obtained after repair treatment, has no uncoordinated non-framework Al, indicating that after repair treatment, the uncoordinated Al species in the silica-alumina molecular sieve are transformed into a coordinated four-coordinated structure through activation and repair processes by the repair agent.
[0105] Table 1 shows the acidity results of the molecular sieve samples before and after remediation. It can be seen that for ZSM-22 or ZSM-48 molecular sieves, the number of Lewis acid sites in the molecular sieve structure decreases after the remediation reaction, while... The increase in the number of acidic sites indicates that the remediation treatment transformed some Lewis acidic sites (mostly formed by unsaturated coordinated Si and Al species) into... Acidic sites (mostly saturated coordinated -Si-O-Al- structures).
[0106] Table 1 shows the crystallinity and acidity results of the molecular sieve samples obtained in each example and comparative example.

[0109] Note: The crystallinity of the unrepaired ZSM-22 (ZD1) and unrepaired ZSM-48 molecular sieve powders was set to 100%. The samples from Comparative Example 1 and Example 2 were placed in an environment with 77% humidity to fully absorb water for 24 hours, and their water content was subsequently examined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It is generally believed that mass loss below 200°C is attributed to the removal of adsorbed water from the molecular sieve material. Compared to Comparative Example 1, the water absorption of the sample from Example 2 was significantly lower, further demonstrating that the remediation treatment helps to promote a more regular molecular sieve structure, thereby improving its hydrophobicity. Therefore, in the hydroisomerization reaction, on the one hand, oxygen-containing compounds are less likely to adsorb onto the remediated molecular sieve support; on the other hand, the destructive effect of water formed by the hydrogenation of oxygen-containing compounds on the molecular sieve structure is significantly reduced. Therefore, the improved coordination saturation and hydrophobicity of the remediated molecular sieve framework structure are beneficial to the enhancement of the catalyst's hydroisomerization reaction activity, isomer yield, and stability.
[0110] Compared with untreated one-dimensional ten-membered ring silica-alumina molecular sieve catalysts, repairing the molecular sieve framework structure can significantly improve the catalytic activity and isomer yield in the hydroisomerization reaction of model compounds, see [reference needed]. Figure 5 And Table 2; When using Fischer-Tropsch refined wax as raw material, the pour point of the isomer product decreased significantly (-39℃), and the viscosity index was 143.6 centistokes, see Table 3; The repaired catalyst can withstand high concentrations of oxygen-containing compounds, and all indicators remained unchanged during the 500-hour stability test, with no obvious deactivation, see Table 3. Figure 6 , Figure 7 This laid the foundation for its industrial application.
