TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of catalysts, and particularly relates to an iron-molybdenum catalyst prepared by a deposition-homogenization composite process and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Formaldehyde is a very important organic chemical raw material. Due to the active chemical property, formaldehyde can react with almost all compounds, and is widely applied in the production of high-value downstream products such as polyformaldehyde, polyoxymethylene, MDI, etc. Since Germany first realized the industrial production of formaldehyde in 1888, two methods, i.e. a silver method and an iron-molybdenum method, are mainly used to directly oxidize methanol to produce formaldehyde. The iron-molybdenum method gradually dominates the production of formaldehyde due to the low reaction temperature, high formaldehyde yield and long service life.
[0003] In order to promote the application and popularization of domestic iron-molybdenum catalysts, it is urgent to develop iron-molybdenum catalysts with more excellent performance. SUMMARY

[0016] Step four: after aging, filter, dry, calcine and shape, the iron-molybdenum catalyst described in the application can be obtained.
[0017] As a better embodiment in the application, the pH value of the alkali B is 11.8-13.2 (specifically 11.8, 12.0, 12.2, 12.4, 12.6, 12.8, 13.0, 13.2, etc.), and the precipitation pH value is controlled to 1.6-2.2 (described in the 11th line of the specification) (specifically 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, etc.).
[0018] As a better embodiment in the application, the MoO3 is industrial grade, and the specific surface area is 15-45 m 2 / g.
[0019] As a better embodiment in the application, the preheating temperature of the salt A is controlled to 30-80℃ (specifically 30℃, 35℃, 40℃, 45℃, 50℃, 55℃, 60℃, 65℃, 70℃, 75℃, 80℃, etc.), and the preheating temperature of the base solution is controlled to 30-80℃ (specifically 30℃, 35℃, 40℃, 45℃, 50℃, 55℃, 60℃, 65℃, 70℃, 75℃, 80℃, etc.).
[0020] As a better embodiment of the present application, the homogenizer has a homogenization time of 5-25 min (specifically, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 25 min, etc.); and a working pressure of 10-1500 bar (10 bar, 100 bar, 200 bar, 300 bar, 400 bar, 500 bar, 600 bar, 700 bar, 800 bar, 900 bar, 1000 bar, 1100 bar, 1200 bar, 1300 bar, 1400 bar, 1500 bar, etc.).

[0023] Compared with the existing preparation method, the deposition-homogenization composite process has the following advantages:
[0024] (1) The present application uses industrial-grade MoO3 with large specific surface area as the molybdenum source, which is conducive to the full positioning of Fe and the high dispersion of Fe2(MoO4)3, thereby improving the activity, selectivity and stability of the catalyst in the production of methanol oxidation to formaldehyde. Compared with the prior art using ammonium molybdate as the molybdenum source, the present application not only reduces the cost of raw materials of the catalyst, but also reduces the processing cost and wastewater treatment cost of the catalyst due to the fact that MoO3 does not need to be dissolved and the filter cake does not need to be washed, which is more suitable for industrial production.
[0025] (2) The high-frequency and high-energy circumferential tangential and angular kinetic energy is formed by the high-speed rotation of the rotor of the homogenizer, and the narrow gap between the stator and the rotor provides strong extrusion force, friction force and shear force for the liquid flow. The high-energy, high-density and high-frequency reaction field generated by the homogenizer makes the molecules of iron salt, ammonia, molybdenum trioxide and iron-molybdenum mixture fully collide and combine and highly disperse, so that an iron-molybdenum catalyst with highly dispersed active components and uniform size is obtained. The catalyst has excellent activity and selectivity when used in the production of methanol oxidation to formaldehyde.
[0026] (3) The present application uses large specific surface MoO3 as molybdenum source, adopts deposition-homogeneous composite process to make Fe deposit and combine on the surface of MoO3, and then through special aging and calcination process, Fe2(MoO4)3 is riveted on MoO3. The Fe2(MoO4)3 crystal grain size of the catalyst is uniform, highly dispersed, and closely combined with MoO3. When Mo element of Fe2(MoO4)3 is lost due to the reaction of methanol oxidation to formaldehyde, MoO3 closely combined with Fe2(MoO4)3 can provide supplement, so that the catalyst shows excellent structure and performance stability in the production of methanol oxidation to formaldehyde.

[0058] The performance of the iron-molybdenum catalysts prepared in the examples and comparative examples was evaluated under the above test conditions, and the data are shown in Table 1.
[0059] Table 1 Performance of catalysts of examples and comparative examples
[0060] Sample No. % CH3OH conversion HCHO selectivity % HCHO yield % 1 98.86 95.03 93.95 2 99.31 96.46 94.37 3 97.57 97.14 94.78 4 97.42 97.55 95.03 5 96.53 96.23 92.89 6 95.87 91.03 87.27 7 96.24 91.42 87.98 8 94.96 93.11 88.41 9 94.72 94.75 89.75 10 93.30 92.80 86.58
[0061] From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the methanol conversion, formaldehyde selectivity and yield of several example samples are obviously superior to those of the comparative example samples. Sample 1 uses MoO3 as the molybdenum source, and sample 6 uses ammonium tetramolybdate as the molybdenum source. The use of industrial-grade MoO3 with a large specific surface area as the molybdenum source not only reduces production costs, but also is conducive to the full positioning of Fe and the high dispersion of Fe2(MoO4)3. The dispersion and other microstructures of sample 6 are superior to those of sample 1, and thus the catalytic performance of sample 6 is superior to that of sample 1. Sample 2 is prepared using a homogenizer, and sample 7 is not prepared using this process intensification equipment. Since the homogenizer can generate a high-energy, high-density, high-frequency reaction field, the molecules of iron salt, ammonia, molybdenum trioxide and iron-molybdenum mixture can fully collide and combine and are highly dispersed, so that the active components of the catalyst are highly dispersed and uniform in size. Therefore, the performance of sample 7 is inferior to that of sample 2. The Mo / Fe ratio of sample 3 is 2.7, and the Mo / Fe ratio of sample 8 is 2.0. When the Mo / Fe ratio is too low, more active centers Fe2(MoO3)4 cannot be formed in the catalyst, and free Fe2O3 phases exist in the catalyst. When the Mo in the catalyst volatilizes, there is no excess Mo to make up for it, which directly causes the activity, selectivity and stability of the catalyst to decrease. Sample 4 is calcined at 480°C for 9h, and sample 9 is calcined at 350°C for 9h. When the calcination temperature is too low, the Fe deposited on the surface of MoO3 cannot fully react with Mo to form sufficient Fe2(MoO4)3, and the excess Fe exists in the form of Fe2O3, which causes the activity and selectivity of the catalyst to decrease. The precipitation pH value of sample 5 is 1.8, and the precipitation pH value of sample 10 is 2.5. When the precipitation pH value is too high, the surface properties, micro-morphology and phase composition of the catalyst are changed, which further causes the performance of the catalyst to decrease.
[0062] The catalytic performance data of sample 1 and sample 6 after 240h of reaction are listed in Table 2.
[0063] Table 2 Performance of catalysts after 240h of reaction
[0064] Sample No. % CH3OH conversion HCHO selectivity % HCHO yield % 1 98.69 94.97 93.72 6 92.91 87.65 81.43
[0065] As shown in Table 2, when samples 1 and 6 were selected for long-term performance evaluation tests, sample 1 maintained good performance, while sample 6 showed a significant decrease in performance. This is mainly because the present invention uses MoO3 with a large specific surface area as the molybdenum source and employs a deposition-homogenization composite process to deposit and bind Fe onto the surface of MoO3. Then, through a special aging and calcination process, Fe2(MoO4)3 is embedded in the MoO3. The Fe2(MoO4)3 grains in sample 1 are uniform in size, highly dispersed, and tightly interact with MoO3. When the Mo element in Fe2(MoO4)3 is lost due to the catalytic oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde, the tightly bound MoO3 can replenish it, resulting in excellent structural and performance stability of the catalyst in the methanol oxidation to formaldehyde production process. In contrast, sample 6 uses traditional ammonium tetramolybdate as a raw material. The interaction between Fe2(MoO4)3 and MoO3 is not strong enough, leading to easy loss of Mo element that is difficult to replenish, thus resulting in poor catalyst stability.
[0066] At the same time, from Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that Sample 2, prepared using a deposition-homogenization composite process, exhibits well-distributed small particles on a lamellar structure at the microscopic level. Sample 7, prepared without the homogenization process, lacks a lamellar structure and shows severe particle agglomeration. This invention utilizes the high-energy, high-density, and high-frequency reaction field generated by a homogenizer to fully collide and highly disperse molecules of iron salts, ammonia, molybdenum trioxide, and iron-molybdenum mixtures, resulting in a highly dispersed and uniformly sized iron-molybdenum catalyst. This catalyst demonstrates excellent activity and selectivity when used in the methanol oxidation to formaldehyde production process.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
