Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a high-efficiency supported catalyst for producing CH3OH by hydrogenating CO2, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof, and belongs to the fields of catalyst technology and industrial catalysis. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the economy and society, humanity's demand for energy has increased significantly. Excessive development and use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas have led to significant greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide. This has contributed to numerous serious environmental problems, including global warming, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and extreme weather. Therefore, measures must be taken to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Reducing carbon dioxide to methanol not only reduces carbon dioxide emissions but also produces methanol, which has great industrial value. Carbon dioxide has very high bond energies and is very stable, necessitating the development of highly active catalysts to facilitate its catalytic conversion.

[0003] Currently, the catalysts used for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol primarily include copper-based catalysts, indium-based catalysts, and precious metal-based catalysts. Copper-based catalysts are prone to deactivation and are highly susceptible to the reverse water-gas reaction, which reduces methanol selectivity. Precious metal catalysts are also expensive. Indium-based catalysts have good catalytic activity for methanol synthesis, but are susceptible to deactivation during high-temperature reduction and are relatively expensive. Nickel has a good ability to dissociate hydrogen, but large Ni particles can easily lead to over-hydrogenation of CO2 to form methane.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to prepare a hydrogenation catalyst with high catalytic activity, good methanol selectivity, low price, easy availability and good stability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: The present invention provides a high-efficiency supported catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation to CH3OH, its preparation method and application, to solve the problems of current catalysts such as poor catalytic activity and methanol selectivity, poor stability, and the high price of indium-based catalysts despite their good activity and easy deactivation by high-temperature reduction.

[0006] Technical solution: The present invention provides a method for preparing a high-efficiency supported catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation to CH3OH, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) Surfactant P123 was dissolved in HCl solution, and then tetraethyl silicate (TEOS) was added and completely hydrolyzed. The resulting material was then transferred to a reactor for aging, and finally centrifuged, washed, dried, and calcined to obtain SBA-15;

[0008] (2) dissolving indium nitrate in water, then adding SBA-15 and oleic acid, sonicating, stirring, drying, and calcining to obtain In2O3-SBA-15;

[0009] (3) Nickel nitrate, In2O3-SBA-15 and polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA) were added to water and stirred evenly. Then, NaBH4 solution was added dropwise under stirring. After complete reduction, Ni / In2O3-SBA-15 was obtained by centrifugation, washing and vacuum drying.

[0010] The concentration of the HCl solution in step (1) is 2 mol / L, the aging temperature is 60-120° C., the aging time is 4 h, the standard for clean washing is that the washing liquid is neutral, the calcination conditions are 100° C. and 5 h, and the mass ratio of P123, HCl and TEOS is 2:5.1:4.4.

[0011] Wherein, the molar ratio of oleic acid to indium nitrate in step (2) is 1:2; and the loading amount of In2O3 on SBA-15 is 1-10 wt.%.

[0012] Wherein, the loading amount of In2O3 on SBA-15 in step (2) is 10 wt.%.

[0013] Wherein, the stirring time in step (2) is 6-10 hours; the calcination temperature is 400-600° C., and the calcination time is 2-4 hours.

[0014] Wherein, in step (2), the stirring time is 8 hours, the calcination temperature is 400° C., and the calcination time is 4 hours.

[0015] In step (3), the mass ratio of Ni to In2O3 is 0.1-0.5:1, preferably 0.2:1; the mass ratio of polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride to Ni is 1-10:1, preferably 5:1; the molar ratio of NaBH4 to Ni is 5:1; the reduction time is 4h; and the vacuum drying temperature and time are 80°C and 12h, respectively.

[0016] The present invention also includes a high-efficiency supported catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation prepared by the preparation method.

[0017] The active components of the catalyst of the present invention are highly dispersed Ni and In2O3, and the carrier is SBA-15. The catalyst is obtained by a three-step process: first, synthesizing SBA-15, then obtaining In2O3-SBA-15 by impregnation, and finally Ni 0 Combined with In2O3-SBA-15. In the first step, oleic acid is used to assist dispersion, and in the second step, NaBH4 is used to reduce Ni in the solution. 2+ , PDDA is needed to assist dispersion.

[0018] The present invention also includes the application of the high-efficiency supported catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation mainly in the thermal catalytic carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol reaction.

[0019] The reaction pressure is 1-5 MPa, preferably 3 MPa; the temperature is between 220-280°C, preferably 240°C; the space velocity is between 7500-30000 mL·g cat -1 ·h -1 between 15000 mL·g cat -1 ·h -1 .

[0020] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. This invention loads In2O3 onto SBA-15 with a large specific surface area and uses oleic acid as a dispersant to promote the dispersion of In2O3. Because the catalytic reaction occurs on the catalyst surface, this not only reduces the amount of indium used and saves costs, but also maximizes the utilization of indium and effectively promotes the activation of CO2.

[0022] 2. The present invention uses PDDA to disperse Ni nanoparticles, resulting in very small and highly dispersed Ni particles. Small Ni particles can greatly promote hydrogen activation without over-hydrogenation to form byproducts such as methane.

[0023] 3. The present invention uses SBA-15 as a carrier. SBA-15 has the characteristics of large specific surface area and high stability, which provides more active sites for the reaction while improving the stability of the catalyst.

[0024] 4. The present invention uses NaBH4 as a reducing agent instead of H2 for high-temperature reduction, which avoids the occurrence of deactivation caused by high-temperature reduction of In2O3. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
