Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of ammonia synthesis catalysts, and particularly relates to a ruthenium-based ammonia synthesis catalyst with alumina as a carrier and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ammonia is a key chemical for food security and social development, so the ammonia synthesis industry occupies a very important position in the national economy. The development of ammonia synthesis catalysts is the key to energy saving and emission reduction of the ammonia synthesis industry. Ruthenium catalysts are known as the second generation of ammonia synthesis catalysts due to their excellent performance. Currently, only ruthenium catalysts with activated carbon as a carrier have been industrialized. However, under the harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure for ammonia synthesis, the activated carbon carrier is prone to methanation, which seriously affects the stability of the ruthenium catalyst. Therefore, finding a ruthenium catalyst carrier with high stability has always been the focus of researchers.

[0003] Magnesium oxide, rare earth oxides, and alumina are considered as potential carrier materials for preparing ruthenium catalysts with high stability. However, although alumina has good heat resistance, the ammonia synthesis performance of alumina-supported ruthenium catalysts is not good, which is mainly due to the strong acidity of the alumina carrier itself and the strong interaction between alumina and ruthenium metal, which is not conducive to the adsorption, dissociation, and desorption of reaction gases such as nitrogen, hydrogen, and ammonia. Zhang Xinbo et al. (Preparation conditions and carrier modification of alumina-supported ruthenium-based ammonia synthesis catalysts, Catalysis, 2002 Vol. 23 (3): 207-213) reported that calcination of γ-Al2O3 can improve the ammonia synthesis activity of alumina-supported ruthenium catalysts. They found that the ideal calcination temperature of alumina is 800℃, and further increasing the calcination temperature will significantly reduce the specific surface area of alumina and the ammonia synthesis activity of the catalyst. Although the treatment of the above-mentioned carrier can improve the ammonia synthesis activity of alumina-supported ruthenium catalysts to some extent, it still cannot solve the problems of strong acidity of the alumina carrier and strong interaction between alumina and ruthenium metal, so the ammonia synthesis activity needs to be further improved to meet the needs of industrial applications.
