Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of catalysts, in particular to a method for preparing a ruthenium-based ammonia synthesis catalyst using cyanamide waste residue as raw material, the product and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ammonia (NH3) is an important raw material for the production of fertilizers, dyes and explosives, and is also an ideal hydrogen energy carrier. It is a zero-carbon molecule with high hydrogen storage content (17.8wt%), high volumetric density (121kg H2 / m 3 , 1MPa), and can be liquefied at 8℃, 2.5MPa to store and transport.

[0003] The Haber-Bosch process currently used in the industrial synthesis of ammonia is carried out at high temperature and high pressure of 400-500℃, 10-30MPa, which consumes 1%-2% of the total global energy supply, and emits about 670 million tons of carbon dioxide per year. The energy consumption of the ammonia synthesis industry is high, and a large amount of greenhouse gases is emitted during the reaction process. In the face of the increasingly severe energy crisis and environmental problems, the traditional ammonia synthesis process is facing great challenges. The key to solving the high energy consumption of the traditional ammonia synthesis industry is to improve the catalytic reaction efficiency and reduce the reaction temperature and pressure, which requires the development of ammonia synthesis catalysts with low temperature, low pressure and high activity.

[0004] The current industrial ammonia synthesis catalyst is mainly iron catalyst. The patent specification with publication number CN106799232A discloses a room temperature solid phase reaction prepared nano-iron modified iron-based ammonia synthesis catalyst and its preparation method and application. The iron-based ammonia synthesis catalyst, the precursor of iron and the solid reagent are uniformly mixed, ground, ball milled or stirred, so that the precursor of iron and the solid reagent react on the carrier of the iron-based ammonia synthesis catalyst. After the reaction, the product is filtered, washed, dried, and heat treated in air, nitrogen, argon or vacuum conditions to obtain the final nano-iron modified iron-based ammonia synthesis catalyst. The nano-iron loading is 0.1-20wt%.

[0005] Compared with iron catalyst, ruthenium catalyst has higher ammonia synthesis activity at low temperature and low pressure, which can greatly reduce the energy consumption of ammonia synthesis industry, and is known as the second generation of ammonia synthesis catalyst. The patent specification with publication number CN114733551A discloses the design, preparation and application of a high-performance Ru-based ammonia synthesis catalyst. By synthesizing a BN carrier, then synthesizing a Ru / BN catalyst, and then loading rare earth elements on the Ru / BN catalyst by an equal volume impregnation method, a RuM / BN catalyst is finally obtained.

[0006] Carbon materials represented by activated carbon, carbon nanotubes and carbon fibers are often used as the carrier of ruthenium-based ammonia synthesis catalysts due to their high specific surface area and strong electron transmission capacity. However, under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure, the carbon carrier is easy to generate methane with hydrogen under the catalysis of metal ruthenium, resulting in the loss of the carbon carrier and the decrease of the activity of the catalyst and finally the deactivation of the catalyst. If graphite and other crystalline carbon materials are directly used as the carrier of the ruthenium-based ammonia synthesis catalyst, the graphite and other crystalline carbon materials need to be subjected to strong oxidation treatment, and the preparation process is complex, the yield is low and the cost is high. In addition, it is difficult to load alkaline earth metal oxides and other additives on the graphite and other crystalline carbon materials, and there is a problem of separation of the graphite and the alkaline earth metal oxides.

[0007] Although the alkaline earth metal oxide material does not have the problem of methanation, it has a low specific surface area, is not conducive to the dispersion of metal ruthenium, and the ruthenium catalyst loaded with the alkaline earth metal oxide has a serious problem of excessive hydrogen adsorption (hydrogen poisoning), which limits its application.

[0008] Therefore, it is very important to develop a ruthenium-based ammonia synthesis catalyst carrier which can effectively disperse metal ruthenium and has high stability for developing an ammonia synthesis catalyst with low temperature, low pressure and high activity. SUMMARY

[0009] In view of the above technical problems and the deficiencies in the prior art, the present application provides a method for preparing a ruthenium-based ammonia synthesis catalyst by using cyanamide waste residue as raw material, the product and the application thereof, wherein the cyanamide waste residue is a by-product of the production process of cyanamide prepared by using calcium cyanamide as raw material. The present application can solve the problems of easy methanation of the carbon carrier of the ammonia synthesis catalyst and low specific surface area of the alkaline earth metal oxide carrier.

[0010] In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing a ruthenium-based ammonia synthesis catalyst by using cyanamide waste residue as raw material, comprising:

[0011] Step 1: acid treatment and alkali treatment of the cyanamide waste residue;

[0012] Step 2: ball milling treatment of the waste residue treated in step 1, and roasting of the milled material in an inert atmosphere;

[0014] In step 1, the cyanamide waste residue contains calcium carbonate, nitrogen-doped graphite carbon and calcium fluoride. Further, the content of calcium carbonate in the cyanamide waste residue can be 70wt%-90wt%, the content of nitrogen-doped graphite carbon can be 5wt%-10wt%, and the content of calcium fluoride can be 0.5wt%-2wt%. Due to the characteristics of the cyanamide waste residue, the calcium carbonate in the cyanamide waste residue is coated by nitrogen-doped graphite carbon, and the particle size can be 100-1000μm.

The acid treatment can also utilize the reconstruction of calcium species on the surface of calcium carbonate in the confined space of the nitrogen-doped graphite carbon coating structure to regulate the interaction between the nitrogen-doped graphite carbon and the calcium carbonate. Finally, after ball milling and heat treatment, the dispersion of calcium oxide, subsequent additives and ruthenium in the calcium oxide / graphite composite material can be improved.

[0046] The method is simple and easy to operate, and not only can prepare a high-efficiency catalyst for synthesizing ammonia at a low production cost, but also effectively solves the problems of low specific surface area and poor dispersion of metal ruthenium of alkaline earth metal oxide materials, and improves the added value of cyanamide waste residue.

[0093] Take 1.8 g of calcium carbonate, 1.2 g of graphite, put into a ball mill at 500 rpm ball milling for 6 h, then calcined at 600℃ for 2 h under Ar atmosphere to obtain the carrier, then add 0.12 g of triruthenium dodecacarbonyl, 0.15 g of potassium nitrate, 0.12 g of barium nitrate, mix ball milling for 1 h, the ball milling speed is 100 rpm, the ball to material ratio is 10:1, the ball milling atmosphere is Ar, to obtain the ruthenium-based ammonia synthesis catalyst.

[0097] The specific surface area, pore volume and pore size of the carrier obtained in Examples 1-13 and Comparative Examples 1-3 are shown in Table 1.

[0100] In order to test the catalytic activity of the catalyst prepared by the present application, 2 mL of the ammonia synthesis catalyst obtained in Examples 1-13 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was respectively placed in the isothermal zone of a fixed bed reaction tube, and a mixed gas with a H2:N2 molar ratio of 3:1 was introduced. After reduction, the catalyst activity was evaluated at a temperature of 375℃, 400℃, a space velocity of 10000 h-1, and a pressure of 5 MPa. The results are shown in Table 2. In Table 2, "-" indicates that no ammonia was detected. -1

[0101] Table 2

[0102]

[0103] Figure 2 The results of the outlet ammonia concentration and reaction rate (r m ) of the ammonia synthesis catalysts of Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 at 400℃, 10000 h -1 -1 space velocity, and a H2:N2 molar ratio of 3:1 are shown.

[0104] ​Comparative Example 1 (calcium oxide content of 60wt%), Example 2 (calcium oxide content of 90wt%), Example 3 (calcium oxide content of 80wt%), Example 4 (calcium oxide content of 75wt%), Example 6 (calcium oxide content of 10wt%) can be concluded that the catalyst activity in cyanamide waste residue and calcium oxide content presents a "volcano type" curve relationship. When the calcium oxide content is too high, it may cover the active sites of the catalyst, resulting in a decrease in catalyst activity. When the calcium oxide content is too low, it may cause the interaction between the active components of the catalyst and the calcium oxide to weaken, thereby reducing the catalyst activity.

[0105] Comparative Example 1 and Example 5 can be concluded that after changing nitric acid to hydrochloric acid in the acid treatment step, the catalyst activity at 400℃ decreases from 3.49% to 1.73%. The possible reason is that the chloride ion in hydrochloric acid can reduce the electron cloud density of the active component, thereby reducing the catalyst activity.

[0106] Examples 7, 8, 9 and 10 respectively investigate the effects of the concentration of alkali, the alkali treatment temperature, the alkali treatment time, and the alkali type on the catalyst activity. The concentration of alkali decreases from 0.5mol·L -1 to 0.1mol·L -1 , the alkali treatment temperature decreases from 60℃ to 50℃, the alkali treatment time decreases from 1h to 0.5h, and the alkali type changes from sodium hydroxide to potassium hydroxide, all of which can cause the content of impurity SiO2 to be too high, thereby reducing the catalyst activity.

[0107] Example 11 investigates the effect of the calcination temperature after ball milling of the cyanamide waste residue on the catalyst activity. When the calcination temperature increases from 600℃ to 700℃, the particle size of calcium oxide increases, resulting in a decrease in catalyst activity.

[0108] Example 12 investigates the effect of the ruthenium source on the catalyst activity. When the ruthenium source changes from triruthenium dodecacarbonyl to ruthenium nitrosyl nitrate, it has no effect on the catalyst activity.

[0109] Example 13 investigates the effect of the additive on the catalyst activity. When the additive changes from barium nitrate to cerium nitrate, it has no effect on the catalyst activity.

[0110] In addition, it should be understood that, after reading the above description of the present application, those skilled in the art can make various modifications or modifications to the present application, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the claims attached hereto.
