Detailed Implementation
[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.
[0020] As described in the background section of this invention, existing cracking catalysts suffer from high cost and environmental unfriendliness. To address these issues, in a typical embodiment of this invention, a method for preparing cracking catalysts from spent catalysts is provided, comprising the following steps: Step S1, the spent catalyst is subjected to aluminum and silicon dissolution treatments to obtain a silicon-rich liquid and an aluminum-rich liquid; the silicon-rich liquid and the aluminum-rich liquid are mixed to obtain a gel-like mother liquor; seed crystals are added to the gel-like mother liquor, followed by aging and crystallization treatments, and then dried to obtain 13X molecular sieve; Step S2, the 13X molecular sieve is mixed with a platinum precursor solution, stirred for 12–36 hours, then filtered, and the filter cake is... The catalyst precursor is dried at 0–130℃ for 8–16 hours to obtain a catalyst precursor; in step S3, the catalyst precursor is pre-calcined in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain a pre-calcined product; in step S4, the pre-calcined product is calcined in an air atmosphere to obtain a cracking catalyst; wherein, the waste catalyst includes one or more of waste Z-5 molecular sieve catalyst, waste MTO catalyst, waste molecular sieve adsorbent, fly ash, waste FCC catalyst and waste VOC adsorbent; wherein, the calcination temperature is higher than the pre-calcination temperature, and the temperature difference is 250–350℃.
[0021] This invention first involves treating one or more waste catalysts, including waste Z-5 molecular sieve catalyst, waste MTO catalyst, waste molecular sieve adsorbent, fly ash, waste FCC catalyst, and waste VOC adsorbent, with aluminum and silicon dissolution treatments to recover the active components aluminum and silicon, yielding silicon-rich liquid and aluminum-rich liquid. These are mixed to obtain a gel-like mother liquor. Seed crystals are added, and the liquor undergoes aging and crystallization treatments sequentially to shape its structure. After drying, 13X molecular sieve is obtained, which has a controllable micro-mesopore specific surface area and a large pore volume, and a high water content. The catalyst exhibits excellent thermal stability, a wide silicon-to-aluminum ratio range, and controllable morphology. The 13X molecular sieve is then mixed with a platinum precursor solution and stirred for 12–36 hours to initially load platinum. After filtration, the filter cake is dried at 90–130°C for 8–16 hours to obtain the catalyst precursor. Finally, the catalyst precursor is pre-calcined in an inert gas atmosphere, followed by calcination in air at a high temperature of 250–350°C. This high-temperature oxidative calcination transforms the platinum precursor into highly dispersed platinum oxide or platinum metal, yielding the cracking catalyst. Conventional inert gases such as nitrogen and argon are suitable. The platinum precursor includes hexachloroplatinic acid dihydrate.

[0029] As described above, the 13X molecular sieve prepared by this invention has a controllable micro-to-mesopore specific surface area and a large pore volume, high hydrothermal stability, a wide range of silica-to-alumina ratios, and controllable morphology. In a preferred embodiment, the silica-to-alumina ratio of the 13X molecular sieve is 2.2–2.9, and the pore volume is 0.3–0.5 cm³. 3 / g, specific surface area of 700-950m² 2 / g can provide more adsorption sites, introduce mesoporous channels, increase the pore volume inside the molecular sieve crystal, improve the flow and diffusion performance of guest molecules inside the molecular sieve, have high silicon source utilization and good selectivity, and can be controlled according to different adsorbed molecules, thereby significantly reducing the carbon deposition rate of the molecular sieve and facilitating the preparation of subsequent cracking catalysts.

[0033] The hydrothermal crystallization process is carried out in a hydrothermal reactor in two stages, including a first stage and a second stage of hydrothermal crystallization performed sequentially. The temperature of the second stage is higher than that of the first stage, with a temperature difference of 50–60°C. Preferably, the temperature of the first stage is 20–60°C, and the time is 4–24 hours; the temperature of the second stage is 80–120°C, and the time is 6–48 hours.

Deionized water was added as needed during the crystallization process to obtain a seed crystal solution.
[0065] Step S1: The waste Z-5 molecular sieve catalyst is mixed with NaCO3 at a mass ratio of 1:1 and calcined at 700℃ for 90 min.

The aluminum-dissolving filter residue is mixed with NaOH and H2O at a mass ratio of 50:50:200, filtered, and silicon-rich liquid is obtained. The silicon-rich liquid and aluminum-rich liquid are mixed to obtain a gel-like mother liquor. Seed crystals accounting for 15 wt% of the gel-like mother liquor are added to the gel-like mother liquor, and then aging and crystallization treatments are carried out sequentially. The aging temperature is 60℃ and the time is 12 h. The crystallization temperature is 80℃ and the time is 18 h. After drying, 13X molecular sieve is obtained.

Dissolve 1g of hexachloroplatinic acid dihydrate (H2PtCl6·2H2O) in 500mL of deionized water to form a platinum precursor solution. Add the dried 13X molecular sieve to the prepared platinum precursor solution and stir thoroughly with a magnetic stirrer for 24 hours. Then filter, place the filtered molecular sieve in a drying oven, and further dry it at 110℃ for 12 hours to obtain the catalyst precursor.
