Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of catalysts and polymer recycling, specifically to a dual-pore composite catalyst, its preparation method, and its application in the direct catalytic cracking of waste plastics to produce low-carbon olefins. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic products are characterized by their light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, good chemical stability, ease of processing, and aesthetic appeal, making them widely used in various fields worldwide. However, plastics are difficult to degrade naturally. While conventional landfill technology requires less investment and is simple to operate, it occupies large amounts of land and causes soil pollution. Incineration technology can achieve volume reduction requirements and recover some energy, but this process easily releases large amounts of hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, sulfides, and highly toxic substances, directly threatening human and environmental health. Therefore, the recycling and high-value utilization of waste plastics is a measure to save energy and protect the environment, and it has received widespread attention from countries around the world. Methods for recycling and utilizing waste plastics mainly include sorting and recycling, producing monomer raw materials, producing clean fuels, and using them for power generation.
[0003] In existing technologies, the main chemical recycling scheme for waste plastics is waste plastic pyrolysis technology. Waste plastic pyrolysis includes three basic methods: thermal pyrolysis (one-stage method), catalytic pyrolysis (one-stage method), and thermal pyrolysis-catalytic modification (two-stage method). The earliest developed waste plastic pyrolysis technology was thermal pyrolysis. This technology refers to a thermal conversion process in which a thermochemical decomposition reaction occurs under high-temperature, oxygen-free conditions, converting the large molecular weight organic matter in waste plastic products into small molecular weight liquids, fuel gas, and coke. The reaction temperature in this process is generally controlled between 350-900℃. Adding a catalyst during the thermal pyrolysis process results in catalytic thermal pyrolysis, which not only lowers the pyrolysis temperature but also improves product performance. The thermal pyrolysis-catalytic modification method, an improvement on catalytic pyrolysis, uses a catalyst to catalytically modify the pyrolysis gas after the waste plastic pyrolysis. This method produces higher quality products, is more flexible in operation, and has lower operating costs than thermal pyrolysis and catalytic pyrolysis, but the process is more complex.
[0004] Cracking technology for treating waste plastics offers great flexibility and good energy recovery, making it one of the most promising waste plastic treatment technologies. Currently, one-step thermal cracking and one-step catalytic cracking methods primarily produce fuel oil, yielding only small amounts of low-carbon olefins (ethylene, propylene, butene).
[0005] Therefore, exploring a new chemical recycling process to produce pure and high-quality final products is an important research direction for plastic waste treatment. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the current situation where the recovery of low-carbon olefins in the chemical recycling of waste plastics is relatively low. This invention provides a dual-pore composite catalyst, its preparation method, and its application in the direct catalytic cracking of waste plastics to produce low-carbon olefins. This dual-pore composite catalyst, in the direct cracking of waste plastics to produce low-carbon olefins, not only solves the problem of waste plastic recycling but also increases the production of important chemical raw materials such as low-carbon olefins, representing a new one-step catalytic conversion and utilization pathway for waste plastics.

[0021] The endpoints and any values of the ranges disclosed herein are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values should be understood to include values close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoint values of the various ranges, the endpoint values of the various ranges and individual point values, and individual point values can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered as specifically disclosed herein.
[0022] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a dual-channel composite catalyst, wherein the dual-channel composite catalyst comprises a modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve and a short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve, the modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve comprising a ZSM-35 molecular sieve and boron oxide and metal oxide supported on the ZSM-35 molecular sieve, and based on the total weight of the dual-channel composite catalyst, the content of the modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve is 46-70% by weight, and the content of the short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve is 30-54% by weight.
[0023] The inventors of this invention discovered that, in the prior art, there is no process for the direct catalytic cracking of waste plastics to produce low-carbon olefins (including ethylene, propylene, and butene). One of the objectives of this invention is to solve this problem. Based on the inventors' understanding of the physicochemical properties of heterogeneous catalysts, catalysts used for the direct production of low-carbon olefins from waste plastics through catalytic cracking should possess a certain degree of acidity and good hydrothermal stability. Based on these requirements, ZSM-35 molecular sieves, which possess both a stable FER-type topological framework structure and a certain degree of acidity, are very suitable as the main component of a waste plastic cracking catalyst. However, because the ZSM-35 molecular sieve has a relatively small pore size (average pore diameter between 0.5-0.6 nm) and a small pore volume (generally not exceeding 0.3 cm³), it is problematic. 3 The molecular weight of waste plastics is relatively large, and the molecular chains are also relatively long. During the pyrolysis reaction of waste plastics, the larger reactant and product molecules have difficulty diffusing within the narrow channels, which not only affects the contact between reactants and active sites but also easily leads to side reactions such as deep dehydrogenation, thus causing a decline in catalyst performance. Compared with zeolite molecular sieves, short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve materials have larger pore sizes (pore diameter greater than 10.0 nm, 20 times larger than the pore size of ZSM-35 molecular sieves) and larger pore volumes (up to 1.3 cm³). 3 Short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieves (with a surface area of over 10 g) are highly suitable for catalytic reactions involving large molecules. However, as an all-silica material with extremely weak surface acidity, they are unsuitable as a standalone catalyst for the pyrolysis of waste plastics. During their research and development of catalysts for waste plastic pyrolysis, the inventors of this invention discovered that by combining the structural advantages of all-silica mesoporous inorganic materials with the surface acidic centers of zeolite molecular sieves, and mixing a certain amount of short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieves with ZSM-35 molecular sieves, the specific surface area and pore volume of the catalyst can be effectively increased, significantly improving the internal diffusion performance in the reaction. When used as a pyrolysis catalyst in the catalytic conversion reaction of waste plastics, it not only effectively improves the activity of the pyrolysis catalyst but also increases the selectivity for low-carbon olefins.
[0024] According to the present invention, preferably, based on the total weight of the dual-channel composite catalyst, the content of the modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve is 50-64% by weight, and the content of the short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve is 34-50% by weight; more preferably, based on the total weight of the dual-channel composite catalyst, the content of the modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve is 54-62% by weight, and the content of the short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve is 38-46% by weight. In the present invention, by using the aforementioned specific content of each component, the prepared dual-channel composite catalyst can exhibit better catalytic activity and higher selectivity for low-carbon olefins when used in the direct catalytic cracking of waste plastics to produce low-carbon olefins.
[0025] The inventors of this invention also discovered that the relatively dense acid centers on the surface of ZSM-35 molecular sieves may lead to deep dehydrogenation during the pyrolysis reaction of waste plastic raw materials, resulting in catalyst deactivation and severe carbon deposition during the reaction. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the surface of ZSM-35 molecular sieves in an appropriate manner to reduce the density of surface acid centers to a certain extent, making it more suitable for the catalytic pyrolysis reaction of waste plastics. During catalyst development research, the inventors discovered that surface modification of ZSM-35 molecular sieves using specific oxides can effectively improve its surface properties. The dual-channel composite catalyst prepared by mixing the modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve with short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieves exhibits high catalytic activity and high selectivity for low-carbon olefins in the catalytic pyrolysis reaction of waste plastics.
[0026] According to the present invention, the modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve comprises ZSM-35 molecular sieve, boron oxide, and metal oxide, and based on the total weight of the modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve, the content of ZSM-35 molecular sieve is 92-98% by weight, the content of boron oxide is 0.4-1.6% by weight, and the content of metal oxide is 1.6-6.4% by weight; preferably, based on the total weight of the modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve, the content of ZSM-35 molecular sieve is 93-97% by weight, the content of boron oxide is 0.6-1.4% by weight, and the content of metal oxide is 2.4-5.6% by weight; more preferably, based on the total weight of the modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve, the content of ZSM-35 molecular sieve is 94-96% by weight, the content of boron oxide is 0.8-1.2% by weight, and the content of metal oxide is 3.2-4.8% by weight. In this invention, the modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve, using the aforementioned specific content of each component, enables the prepared dual-pore composite catalyst to exhibit better catalytic activity and higher low-carbon olefin selectivity when used in the direct catalytic cracking of waste plastics to produce low-carbon olefins.
[0027] The inventors of this invention use ZSM-35 molecular sieve with a SiO2 / Al2O3 molar ratio of 10-200 as the main basic component for modifying ZSM-35 molecular sieve, and introduce boron oxide and metal oxides as modifying components, which can improve both the activity of the dual-channel composite catalyst and the selectivity for low-carbon olefins. Preferably, when the SiO2 / Al2O3 molar ratio of the ZSM-35 zeolite molecular sieve is 20-90, both the catalyst activity and the selectivity for low-carbon olefins can be significantly improved.
[0028] According to the present invention, ZSM-35 molecular sieves can be obtained commercially.

[0069] Example 1
[0070] This embodiment is intended to illustrate the dual-pore composite catalyst prepared according to the present invention.
[0071] (1) Preparation of short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieves
[0072] 58 g of P123 (0.01 mol) and 0.74 g (0.02 mol) of ammonium fluoride were mixed with 2165 g of hydrochloric acid aqueous solution (containing 10 mol of HCl) and stirred at 20 °C until P123 and ammonium fluoride were completely dissolved. 60 g of n-heptane (0.6 mol) and 582 g of tetraethyl orthosilicate (2.8 mol) were added to the above solution and stirred vigorously at 20 °C for 4 minutes, then allowed to stand for 1 hour. The resulting mixture was transferred to a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined reactor and crystallized at 100 °C for 24 hours. After filtration, the solid substance was washed with deionized water 8 times and then dried at 110 °C for 12 hours to obtain mesoporous molecular sieve powder. The mesoporous molecular sieve powder was calcined at 500 °C for 24 hours to remove the template agent, yielding short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve A.
[0073] The specific surface area of short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve A is 594 m². 2 / g, pore volume is 1.6mL / g, and average pore size is 12nm.
[0074] Figure 1 This is a scanning electron microscope image of short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve A. It can be seen that the microstructure of short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve A is that of short rods, with rod lengths ranging from 0.5 to 1 μm.
[0075] (2) Preparation of modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve
[0076] 0.18 g of boric acid and 0.9 g of potassium nitrate were dissolved in 100 g of distilled water to prepare an aqueous solution. 9.5 g of ZSM-35 molecular sieve (SiO2 / Al2O3 = 30) was added to the above aqueous solution, and the mixture was stirred at 60 °C for 5 h. The water was removed using a rotary evaporator, and the solid product was dried at 110 °C for 8 h, and then calcined at 550 °C for 6 h to obtain modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve A.
[0077] Based on the total weight of modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve A, the content of ZSM-35 molecular sieve is 95.0% by weight, the content of boron oxide is 1.0% by weight, and the content of potassium oxide is 4.0% by weight.
[0078] (3) Preparation of dual-pore composite catalyst
[0079] 29g of modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve A and 21g of short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve A were added to a 300ml ball mill jar, along with six agate grinding balls with a diameter of 2mm. Ball milling was then initiated. The temperature inside the ball mill jar was controlled at 50℃, the grinding speed was 400r / min, and the milling time was 10h. The powder obtained after ball milling was calcined at 600℃ for 16h to obtain the dual-pore composite catalyst A.
[0080] Based on the total weight of catalyst A, the content of modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve is 58% by weight, and the content of short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve is 42% by weight.
[0081] Catalyst A has a specific surface area of 462 m². 2 / g, pore volume is 0.83cm³ 3 / g.
[0082] Figure 2 This is the small-angle XRD pattern of catalyst A; from Figure 2 The spectrum shows three clearly visible diffraction peaks at small angles below 2°, proving that the mesoporous material in the catalyst has a typical two-dimensional hexagonal mesoporous structure. This indicates that the short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve still retains a relatively regular mesoporous channel structure after being prepared into a catalyst, and the catalyst preparation process did not destroy the basic structure of the mesoporous molecular sieve.
[0083] Figure 3 This is the wide-angle XRD pattern of catalyst A; from Figure 3 The X-ray diffraction patterns show that the wide-angle X-ray diffraction angles of this sample are mainly: 2θ = 9.4°, 22.4°, 22.7°, 23.3°, 23.7°, 24.5°, and 25.3°. These diffraction signals are consistent with the diffraction patterns of ZSM-35 molecular sieves, indicating that the crystal phase of ZSM-35 molecular sieves did not undergo significant changes during catalyst preparation and maintained a good FER-type topological framework structure. Furthermore, no diffraction signals corresponding to boron oxide or metal oxides appeared in the wide-angle XRD pattern, indicating that the modified components are uniformly dispersed on the catalyst.
[0084] Figure 4 This is the pore size distribution diagram of catalyst A; from Figure 4 The spectrum shows that the sample has a distinct dual-channel structure with pore sizes of 0.5 nm and 12 nm, respectively. The 0.5 nm pore size is provided by modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve, while the 12 nm pore size is provided by short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve.
[0085] (4) Evaluation of the reaction performance of direct conversion of waste plastics to low carbon olefins

The catalyst loading was 10.0 g, the polyethylene waste plastic loading was 50.0 g, the reaction temperature was 480℃, the reaction pressure was 0.1 MPa, and the reaction time was 2 h. After product cooling and gas-liquid separation, the gas composition was analyzed using an Agilent 6890 gas chromatograph equipped with an Al2O3-S capillary column and a flame ionization detector (FID), with programmed temperature ramping and quantitative analysis using correction factors. The liquid composition was analyzed using an Agilent 6890 gas chromatograph equipped with a PONA column. The reaction results are shown in Table 1.

[0221] The results above demonstrate that the dual-pore composite catalyst provided by this invention can directly catalytically convert waste plastics into low-carbon olefins. The waste plastic conversion rate is 100%, and the low-carbon olefin yield is high.
[0222] In Comparative Example 1, the content of short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve was too low, the content of modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve was too high, and the content of the modified component was not within the scope of the claims. Due to the limited number of mesoporous channels in the catalyst, the diffusion of reactant and product molecules was hindered during the reaction, resulting in a low yield of low-carbon olefins.
[0223] In Comparative Example 2, the content of short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieves was too high, the content of modified ZSM-35 molecular sieves was too low, and the content of the modified components was not within the scope of the claims. Due to the limited number of acidic centers on the catalyst and insufficient activation sites during the reaction, the feed conversion rate and the yield of low-carbon olefins were low.
[0224] In Comparative Example 3, only modified ZSM-35 molecular sieve was used as the cracking catalyst, and no short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieve was added. Because the catalyst does not contain mesoporous channels, the diffusion of reactant and product molecules is hindered during the reaction, resulting in a low yield of low-carbon olefins.
[0225] In Comparative Example 4, only short rod-shaped mesoporous molecular sieves were used as cracking catalysts without the addition of modified ZSM-35 molecular sieves. Since there were almost no active acidic centers on the catalyst, the feed conversion rate was low and the yield of low-carbon olefins was low.
[0226] In Comparative Example 5, the ZSM-35 molecular sieve was not modified, resulting in a lower yield of low-carbon olefins.
[0227] In Comparative Example 6, modified ZSM-35 molecular sieves were prepared using only potassium oxide as the modifying component. The modification effect of ZSM-35 molecular sieves was poor, resulting in a low yield of low-carbon olefins.
[0228] In Comparative Example 7, modified ZSM-35 molecular sieves were prepared using only boron oxide as the modifying component. The modification effect of ZSM-35 molecular sieves was poor, resulting in a low yield of low-carbon olefins.
[0229] In Comparative Example 8, instead of the modified oxide specifically defined in this invention, nickel oxide was used. Due to the lower modification effect of the same weight of nickel oxide, the yield of low-carbon olefins was lower.
[0230] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the inventive concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
