Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of catalysts, in particular to an iron-based catalyst for synthesizing C 2+ alcohols from carbon dioxide and its application BACKGROUND

[0002] Since the industrial revolution, mankind has massively exploited fossil energy in nature and discharged CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the environment. Excessive discharge of CO2 has caused a series of environmental problems such as greenhouse effect and ocean acidification. Climate reports show that the global average temperature will increase by about 2℃ in 2050 and by 4℃ in 2100, which poses a great threat to the survival and development of mankind. In order to stabilize the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, not only the discharge of CO2 should be reduced, but also the technology of CO2 capture, storage and utilization (CCUS) should be developed. Compared with traditional fossil fuels, CO2 is a rich, non-toxic and renewable carbon source. Using it as an industrial raw material to produce alkanes, alkenes, arenes, alcohols, gasoline and other high-value chemicals can not only effectively alleviate the environmental problems caused by excessive discharge of CO2, but also reduce the over-reliance on fossil energy, which is of great significance to the sustainable development of energy and chemical industry.

[0003] Among the numerous chemicals produced from CO2, alcohol compounds have wide applications and large market demand. Methanol is a commonly used C1 intermediate in chemical production and can also be used directly as a clean fuel. Compared with methanol, C 2+ alcohols have higher energy density, lower saturated vapor pressure and lower water affinity, and are more suitable as fuels and fuel additives. C 2+ The alcohols such as ethanol, propanol and butanol obtained by separation can be used as raw materials and intermediates for the production of other chemicals. At present, ethanol and butanol are mainly produced by fermentation of sugars in agricultural products such as potatoes, corn and sugarcane, which consumes agricultural products and generates a large amount of separation cost. Heavier alcohols are mainly produced by hydration of corresponding petroleum-derived olefins on acidic catalysts, which does not conform to the concept of green and efficient production. Therefore, the process of directly producing alcohol compounds from renewable CO2 resources has attracted widespread attention.

[0004] At present, the catalyst for synthesizing C 2+ alcohols from CO2 by direct catalytic hydrogenation can be divided into noble metal and non-noble metal catalysts. However, since the synthesis of alcohols involves multiple steps, in order to achieve higher CO2 conversion and selectivity to C 2+ alcohols, the catalyst must have multiple functions such as activation of CO2, adsorption of intermediate products, adjustment of surface active species, carbon chain growth and low selectivity to by-products. Therefore, Cu-Co, Cu-Fe and other multi-active site catalysts have become the focus of research on catalysts for the production of C 2+ alcohols from CO2.

[0005] In recent years, traditional catalytic materials used in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, such as Cu, Co, and Fe, have been modified for use in the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to C. 2+ Alcohol reaction. Yang et al. synthesized Co3O4 nanorods with low reducing power and high RWGS reactivity. Their supported Cu-based catalyst was tested at 250 °C, 3 MPa, and 36000 mL g / L. cat -1 h -1 Under these conditions, a CO2 conversion rate of 13.9% and a yield of 1.87 mmol g were obtained. cat -1 h -1 The ethanol yield (Angewandte Chemie-International Edition, 2019, 58(33):11242-11247). Huang et al. reported a K, Mn modified FeC catalyst, which, at 300℃, 3MPa, and 6000mL g, yielded ethanol at 300℃, 3MPa, and 6000mL g. cat -1 h -1 Under these conditions, the CO2 conversion rate is greater than 40%, C 2+ The selectivity for alcohols exceeded 10%, and the proportions of propanol and butanol in the alcohol products exceeded 30% (Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2022, 61(21):7266-7274). Lu et al. prepared Na-promoted Fe3O4 microsphere catalysts at 300℃, 0.5MPa, and 2500mL g. cat -1 h -1 Under certain conditions, the main product is olefin (approximately 68%); however, when the reaction pressure is increased to 3 MPa, the main product becomes alcohol (approximately 42%). Multiple characterization results indicate that high pressure promotes the increase of oxygen vacancies, and the large number of oxygen vacancies leads to insufficient hydrogenation of adsorbed CO2, promoting the production of CHO*, which is a key intermediate in the production of ethanol. (Catalysis Science & Technology, 2021, 11(23): 7694-7703).

[0006] Currently, there are some methods for synthesizing C from CO2 hydrogenation. 2+ Catalysts for alcohols have been patented. Several reported patents are listed below with detailed explanations:

[0007] Chinese patent CN202310575287.X discloses a method for producing CO2 by hydrogenation. 2+Catalyst for alcohol and its preparation method and application. The patent reports that the Fe-based catalyst modified by additives is prepared by coprecipitation method, under the conditions of 300 ℃, 3 MPa, 3000 mL g cat -1 h -1 , the CO2 conversion rate is 40.2%, the C 2+ alcohol / total alcohol is 96.6%, but the CO selectivity is high.

[0008] Chinese patent CN202210207836.3 discloses the title: preparation method and application of copper-iron-zinc-based catalyst for preparing C 2+ alcohol by CO2 hydrogenation. The patent reports that the salt solution and modified metal solution are mixed by physical mixing method, under the conditions of 310 ℃, 4 MPa, 7200 mL g cat -1 h -1 , the CO2 conversion rate is 10.6%, the C 2+ alcohol / total alcohol is 95.3%, and the C 2+ alcohol space-time yield is 58.2 mg g cat -1 h -1 .

[0009] In summary, compared with other catalysts, Fe-based catalyst has excellent RWGS ability and carbon chain growth ability, and is widely used in the preparation of C 2+ chemicals by CO2 hydrogenation. However, Fe-based catalysts used for preparing oxygen-containing compounds have the problem of insufficient non-dissociation activation ability of CO, resulting in high selectivity of hydrocarbons such as alkanes in the product. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the selectivity of alcohol products by modifying the catalyst and optimizing the reaction conditions. SUMMARY
