Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of straight-run diesel catalytic cracking technology, and particularly to a straight-run diesel catalytic cracking catalyst and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Low-carbon olefins such as ethylene, propylene, and butene are important basic chemical raw materials, widely used in the production of the three major synthetic materials—resins, fibers, and rubber. In my country, low-carbon olefins are mainly produced through steam cracking, catalytic cracking, catalytic pyrolysis, alkane dehydrogenation, and methanol-to-olefins (MTO) processes. Catalytic cracking / catalytic pyrolysis industrial units provide approximately one-third of the propylene resources, with processing feedstocks including naphtha, diesel oil, and heavy distillate fuels.

[0003] my country's diesel consumption peak has passed, and the diesel market has entered, and will continue to be, a state of oversupply. Refining and chemical enterprises are competing to reduce diesel production by lowering the diesel-to-gasoline ratio or reducing fuel consumption while increasing chemical production. Straight-run diesel accounts for approximately 50% of my country's diesel fuel mix, and its saturated alkane content is as high as 45-55%, making it a high-quality feedstock for catalytic cracking. Converting straight-run diesel into high-value low-carbon olefins through catalytic cracking would be of great significance for refining and chemical enterprises to reduce the diesel-to-gasoline ratio and optimize their product structure. Since catalysts play a crucial role in the catalytic cracking reaction of straight-run diesel, developing a catalyst with high cracking conversion rate and high low-carbon olefin yield is imperative. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a straight-run diesel catalytic cracking catalyst and its preparation method. The catalyst prepared by this method, when applied to the catalytic cracking reaction of alkane-rich straight-run diesel, exhibits high cracking conversion rate and high propylene yield.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a straight-run diesel catalytic cracking catalyst, which is achieved by the following technical solution.

[0006] A straight-run diesel catalytic cracking catalyst, wherein the catalyst has a core-shell structure, the core having catalytic cracking function and the shell having catalytic dehydrogenation function;

[0007] The catalyst, on a dry basis, comprises the following components by weight percentage:

[0008] Molecular sieve 5~65%;

[0009] Oxide binder 10~70%;

[0010] Natural minerals: 10-70%;

[0011] Metal oxides 0.05~70%;

[0012] Among them, 10-70% oxide binder means that the oxides in the oxide binder account for 10-70% of the total dry base of the catalyst.

[0013] Furthermore, the molecular screening uses at least one of Y, β, MCM-22, ZSM-5, IM-5, MOR, and SAPO-34. Preferably, the molecular screening uses Y, β, ZSM-5, and IM-5.

[0014] Furthermore, the oxide binder includes a first binder and a second binder, and the dry basis ratio of the first binder and the second binder is 1.5:1 to 1:2.5; the first binder is selected from boehmite and / or aluminum sol; the second binder is selected from silica sol and / or sodium silicate.

[0015] Furthermore, the natural minerals include a first natural mineral and a second natural mineral, and the dry basis ratio of the first natural mineral and the second natural mineral is 1:(1~3); the first natural mineral is selected from at least one of kaolin, attapulgite, and bentonite; the second natural mineral is selected from at least one of halloysite, hydrotalcite, and magnesium aluminum spinel.

[0016] Furthermore, the metal oxide is obtained by calcining a macromolecular organometallic salt, wherein the macromolecular organometallic salt is selected from at least one of nickel acetate, zinc acetate, iron acetate, nickel oxalate, zinc oxalate, and iron oxalate.

[0017] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing a straight-run diesel catalytic cracking catalyst, which is achieved by the following technical solution.

[0018] A method for preparing the above-mentioned straight-run diesel catalytic cracking catalyst includes the following steps:

[0019] S1. Molecular sieve, first binder, and first natural mineral are mixed evenly in deionized water and stirred into a slurry. Then, the pH of the slurry is adjusted to 2-6 with an acidic solution. After one spray granulation and calcination, a semi-finished product of microsphere catalyst with a size of 20-100 μm is obtained.

[0020] S2. The catalyst semi-finished product obtained in step S1 is mixed evenly with macromolecular organometallic salt, second binder and second natural mineral in deionized water, stirred into a slurry, and the pH of the slurry is adjusted to 2~6 with acidic solution. After secondary spray granulation and calcination, microsphere catalyst finished product of 40~200μm is obtained.

[0021] Furthermore, the acidic solution is selected from formic acid solution, acetic acid solution, hydrochloric acid solution, nitric acid solution or sulfuric acid solution, and the hydrogen ion concentration is 0.1~10 mol / L.

[0022] Furthermore, the slurry solid content of the primary spray granulation is 10-30%, and the slurry solid content of the secondary spray granulation is 20-40 wt%.

[0023] Furthermore, the calcination temperature is 550~650℃, and the time is 2~6h.

[0024] This application has the following beneficial effects.

[0025] Under the action of the core-shell bifunctional catalyst of this invention, the feedstock diesel preferentially contacts the dehydrogenation catalytic active center of the catalyst shell, and the generated active intermediate then contacts the cracking catalytic active center of the catalyst core, thereby maximizing the synergistic catalytic effect of dehydrogenation and cracking, thereby maximizing the single-pass conversion rate, maximizing the inhibition of hydrogen transfer and aromatization reactions, and ultimately achieving the goal of improving propylene selectivity and yield.
