Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a ternary composite oxide support and its preparation method, as well as a non-precious metal catalyst for selective hydrogenation of C4-acetylenes, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] 1,3-Butadiene, a raw material for synthetic rubber, is mainly obtained from the C4 fraction, a byproduct of ethylene cracking. Synthetic rubber requires that the total alkyne content in the 1,3-butadiene raw material be less than 20 ppm, with vinylacetylene less than 5 ppm. Therefore, it is essential to remove as many alkynes as possible while separating 1,3-butadiene from the C4 fraction.
[0003] There are many methods for removing alkynes and separating 1,3-butadiene, including solvent extraction, solvent absorption, chemical adsorption, catalytic polymerization, and catalytic selective hydrogenation. The traditional process is solvent extraction, which involves primary extraction, secondary extraction, light distillation, and heavy distillation to obtain 99% pure 1,3-butadiene. Secondary extraction primarily removes vinylacetylene (VA). The C4 alkynes removed by this method need to be diluted with other C4 hydrocarbons and then flared for combustion, resulting in significant resource waste. Furthermore, as the cracking depth increases, the alkyne concentration in the C4 alkynes increases, leading to a higher alkyne load on the extraction unit. This results in increased butadiene loss, higher energy consumption and compressor load, increased operational difficulty, and increased risk. Catalytic selective hydrogenation for alkyne removal not only replaces the secondary extraction in solvent extraction units, reducing investment and saving energy, but also solves the mismatch problem of the aforementioned equipment. Moreover, it can increase the production of large quantities of high-value butadiene when processing C4 alkynes with high alkyne content, making its economic advantages increasingly recognized. Currently, alkynes in mixed C4 fractions can be removed by catalytic selective hydrogenation. The catalysts used primarily tend to be noble metal catalysts, such as palladium, platinum, and silver, followed by non-noble metal catalysts, such as copper and nickel.
[0004] The advantage of non-precious metal copper catalysts lies in their high selectivity for alkyne hydrogenation. However, their disadvantages include lower activity and poor heat resistance; copper particles tend to grow rapidly at high temperatures (200℃), posing a safety risk should overheating occur during use. Copper-based selective hydrogenation catalysts also present certain safety hazards when treating tail gases with high alkyne concentrations (10–30 wt%), and are therefore generally used for selective hydrogenation of tail gases with lower alkyne concentrations.
[0005] The selective hydrogenation of alkynes in hydrocarbon streams requires different catalysts and reaction conditions depending on the composition of the feedstock and the desired product. A good selective hydrogenation catalyst, besides possessing high hydrogenation activity, should also exhibit good stability, meaning it should be resistant to impurities and gum deposits to extend its lifespan. Therefore, the support should have low acidity, a small specific surface area, and a large pore size. Furthermore, adding certain promoters during catalyst preparation can also extend the catalyst's lifespan.
[0006] Noble metal catalysts generally employ palladium catalysts supported on a carrier (usually alumina), with the addition of other co-catalyst components such as gold, silver, chromium, copper, iron, rhodium, lithium, potassium, and even lead or zinc. Noble metal catalysts exhibit good low-temperature activity and mild reaction conditions, but their drawbacks include easy loss of active components, high cost, difficulty in regeneration, and slightly poor hydrogenation selectivity. Non-noble metal catalysts require higher temperatures and harsher hydrogenation conditions, but their preparation is simple, they are easy to regenerate repeatedly, and their cost is relatively low, thus still possessing certain research and development value. In these hydrogenation reactions, semi-hydrogenated free radicals adsorbed on the catalyst react with adjacent alkynes or dienes to form a viscous polymer (commonly known as green oil), mainly composed of compounds with more than six carbon atoms. Because it covers the catalyst surface, it blocks the micropores, reducing catalyst activity and affecting catalyst lifespan. Especially for conjugated dienes (such as 1,3-butadiene), their polymerization reaction is more likely to occur, causing the catalyst to deactivate quickly, thus requiring frequent regeneration for reuse.
[0007] Therefore, using non-precious metal hydrogenation catalysts for the hydrogenation of alkynes can improve the catalyst's resistance to impurity poisoning and its stability, resulting in better economic value. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this invention provides a novel ternary composite oxide support and its preparation method. The non-precious metal catalyst for selective hydrogenation of C4 acetylene based on this ternary composite oxide support has the advantages of high low-temperature activity, high selectivity, and high stability.
