Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst preparation technology, specifically to a core-shell type ammonia oxidation catalyst, its preparation method and application, and a method for synthesizing acrylonitrile. Background Technology

[0002] Acrylonitrile, as an important organic chemical raw material, has wide applications in synthetic fibers, synthetic resins, and many other fields. Recently, with the rapid development of ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) resin and acrylonitrile-based carbon fiber, downstream demand for acrylonitrile has been increasing. Currently, the main production process for acrylonitrile is the Sohio process, which uses propylene as raw material and synthesizes acrylonitrile in a fluidized bed reactor through ammonia oxidation. The catalyst used is mainly a Mo-Bi composite oxide system.

[0003] In practical applications, it has been found that after long-term operation in fluidized bed reactors, especially under high-temperature and high-load conditions, the molybdenum component tends to be severely lost due to its high volatility. This results in both catalyst loss and a significant impact on the long-term stability of catalytic activity. Currently, process units often require continuous catalyst replenishment to maintain stable reaction operation. Therefore, a key research direction in this field is to develop novel catalysts for the ammoxidation of propylene to acrylonitrile that exhibit low loss of active molybdenum component under high-temperature and high-load conditions and can operate stably for extended periods.

[0004] To address the long-term operational stability issue of acrylonitrile catalysts, researchers have conducted extensive studies on catalyst support components. CN100566829 uses silica, alumina, or mixtures thereof as supports, enabling the catalyst to operate stably at lower ammonia ratios, air ratios, and temperatures, thus improving the reaction yield and stability of acrylonitrile catalysts and reducing the content of byproducts such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen cyanide. CN101284237 modifies the support with small-molecule template agents such as tetraethylamine and tetrapropylamine, and then combines it with active components to obtain acrylonitrile catalysts with good activity, selectivity, reduction resistance, and wear resistance. CN102892498, by adjusting and controlling the composition of auxiliary agents, yields catalysts with specific X-ray diffraction patterns, which can be widely used in the ammoxidation of olefins to produce acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile, improving the reaction conversion rate. The yield of acrylonitrile is achieved through various methods. CN110562990 proposes using silica sol with a uniform particle size distribution of 20-30 nm, a viscosity of less than 20 cPs, a mass concentration of not less than 40%, and the addition of a stabilizer as a carrier. The silica sol has a stability time of more than 20 minutes, exhibiting good stability and suitable for large-scale industrial production. CN113828322 focuses on the volatile molybdenum trioxide component in acrylonitrile catalysts, preparing molybdenum trioxide with a specific X-ray spectrum. This molybdenum trioxide forms a supplementary system with the molybdenum-based acrylonitrile catalyst and is used in the continuous supplementary process of propylene ammoxidation reaction. It can achieve a high acrylonitrile yield under high propylene load and maintain long-term stability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem of poor stability of existing ammonia oxidation catalysts and to provide a new core-shell ammonia oxidation catalyst and its preparation method, especially the application of this catalyst in the synthesis of acrylonitrile.

[0006] As mentioned earlier, current methods for improving the stability and activity of acrylonitrile catalysts mainly focus on altering their composition, such as increasing the types of metal elements and adjusting the support composition.

[0012] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a method for synthesizing acrylonitrile, the method comprising carrying out an ammoxidation reaction of propylene under a mixed gas condition containing oxygen and ammonia.

[0074] Example 1
