Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical industry, and specifically relates to a preparation method and application of a catalyst for preparing anhydrous formaldehyde through oxygen-free dehydrogenation of methanol. Background Art
[0002] As an important organic chemical raw material, formaldehyde is mainly used to produce chemical products such as urea-formaldehyde resin, phenolic resin, melamine formaldehyde resin, urotropine, polyols, polyoxymethylene, nylon-4 and vinylon. It is also widely used in medicine, pesticides, dyes, disinfectants, fungicides, preservatives, wood processing and chemical fiber. In recent years, the demand for high-performance engineering plastics, electronic chemicals and urotropine has increased, which has led to an increasing demand for high-concentration formaldehyde. At present, the industry mainly uses a two-step method to prepare high-concentration formaldehyde: (1) Ag or Cu catalyst oxidative dehydrogenation at 597~697 °C or iron molybdate catalyst at 297~397 °C with excess air oxidation to prepare an aqueous solution containing 35~45% formaldehyde; (2) formaldehyde aqueous solution is concentrated by vacuum distillation or solvent azeotropy. However, the vapor pressure of formaldehyde aqueous solution is very low and formaldehyde and water easily form azeotropes, so the separation and purification of formaldehyde aqueous solution is very difficult and expensive.
[0003] The oxygen-free dehydrogenation of methanol to produce anhydrous formaldehyde is a new process with potential industrial prospects. It can avoid the shortcomings of high energy consumption, high cost and environmental pollution caused by the traditional oxidation-dehydration method. Directly converting methanol into anhydrous formaldehyde simplifies the process flow, reduces energy consumption and cost, reduces the emission of wastewater and exhaust gas, and avoids the problem of equipment corrosion caused by the oxidation of methanol to formic acid. However, this process needs to be carried out at a high temperature of 400~800 ℃, facing the problems of the generation of thermodynamically favorable by-products at high temperature, the decomposition of formaldehyde at high temperature, and self-polymerization and oxidation at low temperature. Therefore, the difficulty of this technology lies in the development of a catalyst with high activity, high selectivity and high stability at high temperature. Commonly used catalysts for the oxygen-free dehydrogenation of methanol include alkali metal carbonates, metals and metal oxides, and molecular sieve catalysts. Among them, alkali metal carbonates such as sodium bicarbonate have high selectivity, but have low activity and high reaction temperature (700~900 ℃), easy to melt and lose and form methyl carbonate or formate with the catalyst, etc., and it is necessary to add additives or carriers to improve their activity and stability (CN101147872A, CN102941112A); metals and metal oxides mainly include metals such as Cu, Ag, Zn, Zr, V and their oxides. Such catalysts have high activity, but have problems such as low high temperature selectivity and catalyst deactivation due to metal reduction, volatilization or sintering (CN1390639A, CN1537673A, CN1544 147A, CN102274722A, CN101961650A, CN105712857A); molecular sieve catalysts and composite catalysts formed with other metals or non-metals have high stability at high temperatures, but they also have problems such as poor low-temperature activity, low high-temperature selectivity, excessive catalyst acidity leading to the occurrence of side reactions such as dehydration and polycondensation, and small pores that are prone to large diffusion resistance and easy clogging (CN107162884A, CN105732350A, CN104447248A). Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a dehydrogenation catalyst with significant and stable formaldehyde yield in a wide reaction temperature range, which also lays the foundation for the industrialization of methanol oxygen-free dehydrogenation technology. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a preparation method and application of a catalyst for the production of anhydrous formaldehyde by oxygen-free dehydrogenation of methanol, aiming to overcome the problems of narrow reaction temperature range and low formaldehyde yield faced by existing catalysts for oxygen-free dehydrogenation of methanol. This patent modifies the molecular sieve to obtain a modified molecular sieve catalyst doped with alkali metals and transition metals, which not only adjusts the acidity of the molecular sieve surface, but also combines the reaction activity of the molecular sieve high temperature reaction range (600~900 ℃) and the transition metal low temperature reaction range (350~650 ℃) defined in this case, as well as the adsorption of methanol by oxygen vacancies on the surface of reducible metal oxides, thereby achieving excellent catalytic activity and formaldehyde yield in a wide reaction window from 350~700 ℃.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme of the present invention is as follows: the modified molecular sieve catalyst is prepared by ion exchange-electrostatic adsorption method. First, the molecular sieve is placed in an alkali metal salt solution for ion exchange for 2 to 5 hours and then centrifuged. After repeated exchange 2 to 4 times, it is placed in an oven to dry overnight, and then calcined at 350 to 700 ° C for 3 to 12 hours to obtain an alkali metal-modified molecular sieve catalyst; secondly, the obtained alkali metal-modified molecular sieve catalyst is placed in a transition metal salt solution and stirred for 2 to 8 hours for electrostatic adsorption, and then centrifuged, washed, dried overnight and placed in a muffle furnace at 300 to 600 ° C for 3 to 6 hours to obtain a transition metal and alkali metal modified molecular sieve catalyst.
[0006] Wherein, the modified molecular sieve is one of USY, ZSM-5, Beta and HY molecular sieves, preferably USY and Beta molecular sieves.
[0007] The alkali metal salt is selected from any one or more of water-soluble lithium salts, potassium salts and sodium salts; the anion of the alkali metal salt is selected from any one of carbonates, nitrates, acetates and oxalates.
[0008] In some embodiments, the alkali metal salt is one or more of Li2CO3, LiNO3, CH3COOLi, Li2C2O4, K2CO3, CH3COOK, K2C2O4, KNO3, Na2CO3, CH3COONa, and Na2C2O4, wherein the alkali metal ion concentration is 0.02~1.0 mol / L.
[0009] Wherein, the transition metal salt comprises one or more of AgNO3, Zn(NO3)2, Cu(NO3)2, Ce(NO3)2, and Al(NO3)3, and the transition metal concentration thereof is 0.02~5.0 mol / L.
[0010] The modified molecular sieve catalyst uses methanol as a raw material and performs an oxygen-free dehydrogenation reaction in a fixed bed quartz tube reactor in a N2 atmosphere. The reaction temperature is 400-800 °C, the methanol volume content is 5-40%, and the mass space velocity of the bed is 1.5-10 ml∙g cat. -1 ∙s -1 .
[0011] The ion exchange-electrostatic adsorption method developed in the present invention is used to prepare a modified molecular sieve catalyst. Alkali metal salts, especially alkali metal carbonates, are used to exchange ions with molecular sieves to obtain modified molecular sieves with adjustable surface acidity. The modified alkali metal ions are also used to adjust the charge distribution on the surface of the molecular sieve, and the transition metal cations are uniformly dispersed on the surface or in the pores of the molecular sieve through electrostatic adsorption. Compared with pure molecular sieve catalysts, alkali metal-modified molecular sieves can promote the desorption of hydrogen produced by the reaction on the surface of the molecular sieve and inhibit the formation of carbon deposits, but the reaction still needs to be at 600~800℃ to obtain a certain formaldehyde yield. Transition metals such as Cu, Ag and their oxide catalysts can achieve higher methanol conversion rates and formaldehyde selectivity at relatively low temperatures (350~650℃), but they face problems such as metal oxides being reduced by product hydrogen and sintering themselves, resulting in decreased activity. Therefore, active components such as Cu and Ag are anchored on the surface or in the pores of the modified molecular sieve by electrostatic adsorption, and during the anaerobic dehydrogenation of methanol, the intermediate formed by the metal and the methoxy group migrates to the silanol nest in the molecular sieve and stabilizes, thereby effectively avoiding the rapid sintering process of the metal. The advantages of the present invention are reflected in that the modified molecular sieve catalyst not only exhibits excellent methanol conversion rate and formaldehyde yield in a wide reaction temperature range, but also can improve the service life of the catalyst through chemical cycle regeneration.

Compared with the catalysts modified with Zr and Mg metals, the AgCeLi-USY modified zeolite has outstanding methanol conversion rate and formaldehyde yield in a wider temperature range (350~700 ℃), which is mainly due to the synergistic effect of low-temperature high-activity Ag, reducible CeO2 rich in oxygen vacancies and acid-adjustable Li-doped high-temperature active USY zeolite.
