Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum catalytic cracking, and in particular relates to a catalyst for catalytic cracking of diesel to produce light olefins, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Ethylene and propylene, important basic raw materials in the petrochemical industry, are traditionally produced primarily through tubular furnace steam cracking. Cracked feedstocks include naphtha, diesel, ethane, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). However, with the rapid increase in demand for olefin derivatives, the propylene produced through co-production via thermal cracking is no longer sufficient to meet the growing demand in both domestic and international markets. Furthermore, steam pyrolysis itself has numerous shortcomings. Therefore, optimizing the allocation of cracking feedstock resources and adopting new processes and technologies to replace traditional steam pyrolysis to produce light olefins has become an inevitable trend in this field. Technologies to increase the production of light olefins, particularly propylene, such as methanol-to-olefins (MTO / MTP), heavy oil catalytic cracking (DCC, CPP, HCC), propane dehydrogenation, and light hydrocarbon catalytic cracking, have emerged and developed in recent years, partially alleviating market demand for propylene.
[0003] my country currently faces a dilemma: overcapacity in refining and insufficient chemical supply. Demand for petrochemical raw materials exceeds supply, forcing refineries to reduce capacity, adjust their structures, and transition to the chemical industry. Catalytic cracking of light naphtha hydrocarbons to olefins has matured and is now in use. Some companies have adopted KBR's ACO / K-COT process to convert naphtha into high-value-added chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. For diesel, hydrotreating combined with catalytic cracking (LTAG and FCA), hydrotreating combined with hydrocracking (FD2G and RLG), and diesel adsorption separation technology packages can address diesel disposal issues to a certain extent, but they cannot fundamentally address the need for diesel reduction for most refineries. Therefore, reducing diesel production and realizing high-value-added utilization of excess diesel capacity have become pressing issues for refineries. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a catalyst for catalytic cracking of diesel to produce light olefins, its preparation method and application. The catalyst of the present invention has high reaction activity and good selectivity for diesel cracking, and has the advantage of high yield of liquefied gas and propylene.
[0005] The present invention provides a method for preparing a catalyst for catalytic cracking of diesel to produce light olefins, comprising the following steps:
[0006] A) After mixing ZSM-11 molecular sieve and water by ball milling, kaolin, aluminum sol, metal precursor and phosphorus precursor are added to obtain mixed slurry A;
[0007] B) mixing the mixed slurry with the soft template to obtain mixed slurry B;
[0008] The soft template includes one or more of sucrose, glucose and fructose;
[0009] C) ball-milling the mixed slurry B and spray-granulating the mixed slurry B to obtain microsphere particles;
[0010] D) calcining the microsphere particles to obtain a catalyst for catalytic cracking of diesel to produce light olefins.
[0011] Preferably, the ZSM-11 molecular sieve has straight pores with a pore diameter of 0.5 to 0.6 nm.
[0012] Preferably, the metal in the metal precursor includes one or more of lanthanum, cerium, zinc, iron, magnesium, manganese, zirconium, copper and silver.
[0013] Preferably, the phosphorus precursor includes one or more of phosphoric acid, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, diammonium hydrogen phosphate and trimethyl phosphate.
[0014] Preferably, the mass ratio of ZSM-11 molecular sieve, aluminum sol, kaolin, phosphorus precursor and metal precursor is (10-50): (10-50): (30-70): (5-20): (0.5-5).
[0015] Preferably, the mass of the soft template is 0.1-15% of the mass of the dry basis catalyst, and the dry basis catalyst includes ZSM-11 molecular sieve, kaolin, aluminum sol, metal oxides and phosphorus oxides.
[0016] Preferably, the calcination temperature is 450° C. to 550° C., and the calcination time is 3 to 6 hours.
[0017] The present invention provides a catalyst for catalytic cracking of diesel to produce light olefins, which is prepared by the preparation method described above.
[0018] Preferably, the catalyst for catalytic cracking of diesel to produce light olefins has a microporous structure, a mesoporous structure and a macroporous structure, an average pore diameter of the catalyst is 6-10 nm, and a pore volume is 0.3-0.4 cc / g.
[0019] The present invention provides use of the catalyst for producing light olefins by catalytic cracking of diesel as described above in producing light olefins and liquefied gas by catalytic cracking of diesel.
[0020] The invention provides a preparation method of a catalyst for producing light olefins by catalytic cracking of diesel, comprising the following steps: A) ball-milling ZSM-11 molecular sieve and water, and then adding kaolin, aluminum sol, a metal precursor, and a phosphorus precursor to obtain a mixed slurry A; B) mixing the mixed slurry with a soft template to obtain a mixed slurry B, wherein the soft template comprises one or more of sucrose, glucose, and fructose; C) ball-milling the mixed slurry B and then spray-granulating the mixed slurry to obtain microsphere particles; and D) calcining the microsphere particles to obtain a catalyst for producing light olefins by catalytic cracking of diesel.
[0021] ZSM-5 molecular sieve is the most widely used active component in heavy oil catalytic cracking processes for propylene production. Its pore structure selectively cracks some gasoline components, resulting in high yields of light olefins. However, it also presents several challenges. The complex Zig-Zag pores of ZSM-5 have high diffusion resistance, hindering rapid product diffusion and increasing the likelihood of secondary reactions. Some researchers have treated ZSM-5 molecular sieves with pore expansion, a process that damages the structure and reduces its stability. ZSM-11 molecular sieve is structurally similar to ZSM-5, but also unique in that its pores are straight, reducing the diffusion resistance of reactant molecules within the sieve, thereby effectively reducing hydrogen transfer reactions for light olefins and improving olefin selectivity. However, due to its small pore size, cycloalkanes in diesel fuel cannot fully react. The present invention introduces a soft template during the molding process, creating large pores in the matrix, which improves catalyst activity and heavy metal resistance. Catalysts prepared using this method have the advantages of high activity, high selectivity, and good diffusivity for diesel cracking reactions. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
