Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of catalysts and the field of polymer material recycling, and in particular to a porous cracking catalyst, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof in the reaction of producing light olefins from waste plastics. Background Art

[0002] Since their advent in the 20th century, plastic products have been widely used in various fields worldwide due to their lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, good chemical stability, easy processing, and aesthetic and practical features. However, plastics are difficult to degrade naturally. Conventional landfill technology, while requiring low investment and simple operation, occupies a large amount of land and causes land pollution. While incineration technology can achieve waste reduction requirements and recover some energy, it easily releases large amounts of hydrocarbons, nitrogen compounds, sulfides, and highly toxic substances, posing a direct threat to human and ecological health. Therefore, the recycling and high-value utilization of waste plastics as a measure to conserve energy and protect the environment has received widespread attention worldwide. Methods for recycling and utilizing waste plastics mainly include classified recycling, preparation of monomer raw materials, production of clean fuel, and use for power generation.

[0003] Large-scale, well-regulated waste plastic recycling companies will gradually refine the classification of recycled waste plastics, continuously develop and apply new technologies and products for waste plastics, gradually expand the application areas of waste plastics, and increase the added value of recycled plastic products. Existing chemical recycling solutions for waste plastics primarily rely on waste plastic cracking technology. There are three basic methods for waste plastic cracking: thermal cracking (a single-stage process), catalytic cracking (a single-stage process), and thermal cracking-catalytic modification (a two-stage process). Thermal cracking is the earliest developed technology for waste plastic cracking. This technology involves a thermal conversion process under high-temperature, anaerobic conditions, where a thermochemical decomposition reaction occurs, converting the high-molecular-weight organic matter in waste plastic products into low-molecular-weight liquids, fuel gas, and coke. The reaction temperature for this process is generally controlled between 350 and 900°C. Adding a catalyst to the thermal cracking process, known as catalytic thermal cracking, not only reduces the cracking temperature but also improves product performance. The thermal cracking-catalytic reforming method is an improvement of the catalytic cracking method. After the waste plastics are thermally cracked, the cracking gas is catalytically reformed with a catalyst. This method produces higher quality products than the thermal cracking and catalytic cracking methods, is more flexible to operate, and has lower operating costs, but the process is more complicated.

[0004] Cracking technology offers extensive flexibility and good energy recovery in treating waste plastics, making it a promising technology for waste plastics treatment. Existing technologies primarily produce fuel oil through one-step thermal cracking and one-step catalytic cracking, yielding only small amounts of light olefins (ethylene, propylene, and butene). To obtain larger quantities of light olefins, a two-stage thermal cracking-catalytic reforming process is required. Therefore, exploring new chemical recovery processes to produce pure, high-quality end products is an important research area for plastic waste treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the current problem of low content of light olefins recovered in the chemical recycling of waste plastics, and to provide a porous cracking catalyst and a preparation method thereof, as well as an application in the reaction of producing light olefins from waste plastics. The porous cracking catalyst is applied to waste plastics, providing a new approach for the one-step catalytic conversion and utilization of waste plastics, thereby solving the problem of waste plastic recycling and increasing the production of light olefins, an important chemical raw material.

[0018] The accompanying drawings are used to provide a further understanding of the present invention and constitute a part of the specification. Together with the following detailed description, they are used to explain the present invention but do not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In the accompanying drawings:

[0019] Figure 1 is a pore size distribution diagram of ultra-macroporous silica gel A prepared in Example 1 of the present invention;

[0020] Figure 2 This is a pore size distribution diagram of the porous cracking catalyst A prepared in Example 1 of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The endpoints of the ranges and any values ​​disclosed herein are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values ​​should be understood to include values ​​close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoints of each range, the endpoints of each range and individual point values, and the individual point values ​​can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered to be specifically disclosed herein.

[0022] As mentioned above, the first aspect of the present invention provides a porous cracking catalyst, wherein the porous cracking catalyst comprises SAPO-18 molecular sieve, ultra-large pore silica gel and modified oxide, and based on the total weight of the porous cracking catalyst, the content of the SAPO-18 molecular sieve is 28-60% by weight, the content of the ultra-large pore silica gel is 30-70% by weight, and the content of the modified oxide is 2-10% by weight;

[0023] The specific surface area of ​​the porous cracking catalyst is 380-450m 2 / g, the pore volume is 0.68-1.05mL / g, the pore size distribution is trimodal distribution, and the most probable pore sizes corresponding to the three peaks are 0.38-0.45nm, 2-4.5nm and 15-45nm, respectively.

[0024] The inventors of the present invention have discovered that in the prior art, there is no process for directly catalytically cracking waste plastics to produce light olefins (including ethylene, propylene, and butene). The purpose of the present invention is to address this problem. Based on the inventors' understanding of the physicochemical properties of heterogeneous catalysts, catalysts used for the catalytic cracking of waste plastics to directly produce light olefins should have a certain acidity, but the acidity should not be too strong. In addition, the catalyst for the catalytic cracking of waste plastics needs to have good thermal stability. SAPO-18 molecular sieve not only has surface acidic sites, but also has relatively good thermal stability (the crystalline phase can still remain stable after high-temperature roasting at 550°C). After appropriate modification, it can be used as a catalyst for the catalytic cracking reaction of waste plastics. However, the pore size of SAPO-18 molecular sieve is generally around 0.4nm, which seriously limits the practical application of SAPO-18 molecular sieve catalysts. This is mainly because SAPO-18 is a microporous molecular sieve with a small pore size and pore volume, while the molecular weight of the waste plastic product is large and the molecular chain is relatively long. During the cracking reaction of waste plastic products, larger reactant molecules and product molecules have difficulty diffusing between narrow pores, which not only affects the contact between reactants and active centers, but also easily leads to side reactions such as deep dehydrogenation, which in turn leads to a decrease in catalyst performance. Compared with microporous molecular sieves, ultra-large pore silica gel materials have double pores with larger pore sizes (the most probable pore diameters are 2-5nm and 20-50nm respectively) and large pore volumes (up to 1.0cm 3 / g or more), very suitable for catalytic reactions involving macromolecules. However, ultra-large pore silica gel is a fully silicon material with only a small amount of silanol groups on the surface, which is extremely weak in acidity and is not suitable for being used alone as a catalyst to catalyze the cracking reaction of waste plastics. The inventors of the present invention found during the development and research of waste plastic cracking catalysts that if the structural advantages of ultra-large pore silica gel and the surface acidic centers of zeolite molecular sieves are comprehensively utilized, a certain amount of ultra-large pore silica gel is mixed with SAPO-18 molecular sieves, the pore volume of the catalyst can be effectively increased, and the internal diffusion performance in the reaction can be significantly improved. When used as a cracking catalyst in the catalytic conversion reaction of waste plastics, it can not only effectively improve the activity of the cracking catalyst, but also increase the selectivity of light olefins.

[0025] According to the present invention, preferably, based on the total weight of the porous cracking catalyst, the content of the SAPO-18 molecular sieve is 32-56% by weight, the content of the ultra-large pore silica gel is 35-65% by weight, and the content of the modified oxide is 3-9% by weight; more preferably, based on the total weight of the porous cracking catalyst, the content of the SAPO-18 molecular sieve is 36-52% by weight, the content of the ultra-large pore silica gel is 40-60% by weight, and the content of the modified oxide is 4-8% by weight. In the present invention, the use of the aforementioned specific contents of each component can enable the prepared porous cracking catalyst to have better catalytic activity and higher selectivity for light olefins when used in the direct catalytic cracking of waste plastics to produce light olefins.

[0026] According to the present invention, preferably, the specific surface area of ​​the porous cracking catalyst is 388-445m 2 / g, the pore volume is 0.76-1mL / g, the pore size distribution is trimodal, and the most probable pore sizes corresponding to the three peaks are 0.39-0.44nm, 2.5-4nm and 20-38nm respectively; more preferably, the specific surface area of ​​the porous cracking catalyst is 394-440m 2 / g, a pore volume of 0.84-0.93 mL / g, a trimodal pore size distribution, and the most probable pore sizes corresponding to the three peaks are 0.4-0.42 nm, 2.8-3.4 nm, and 25-32 nm, respectively. In the present invention, when the porous cracking catalyst has the aforementioned specific structural parameters, it can be used in the direct catalytic cracking of waste plastics to produce light olefins with better catalytic activity and higher light olefin selectivity.

[0034] According to the present invention, the weight ratio of the inorganic silicon source, acid agent, butanol and glycerol is 1: (0.05-0.5): (0.02-0.6): (0.02-0.6), preferably 1: (0.1-0.3): (0.06-0.4): (0.06-0.4).

[0035] According to the present invention, the conditions for contacting the inorganic silicon source with the acid agent may include: a temperature of 15-40° C. and a time of 1-3 hours; preferably, in order to achieve a better mixing effect, rapid stirring or ultrasonic means may be used to improve the mixing efficiency during the contact (hydrolysis and gel preparation) of the inorganic silicon source with the acid agent.

[0036] According to the present invention, there are no special requirements for the filtration method, and it can be any filtration method known in the art, including gravity filtration, pressure filtration, vacuum filtration, or centrifugal filtration. Preferably, the filtration process specifically includes: using a suction bottle, vacuuming the bottom side of the funnel or filtering using a centrifugal filter.

[0037] According to the present invention, the washing conditions are not particularly limited. For example, the washing process may include: obtaining a solid product after filtration, repeatedly washing the solid product with distilled water (the number of washings may be 2-10), and then filtering.

[0038] According to the present invention, the drying conditions include: drying temperature of 60-150° C., and drying time of 1-30 h; preferably, the temperature is 90-130° C., and the drying time is 5-16 h.

[0043] (2) The mixed molecular sieve is immersed in an aqueous solution containing a modified oxide precursor, and the solid product after removing moisture is dried and calcined to obtain a porous cracking catalyst.

[0044] The inventors discovered that mixing a certain amount of ultra-large pore silica gel with SAPO-18 molecular sieve can increase the pore volume of the catalyst and improve the internal diffusion performance during the reaction. However, if the two prepared molecular sieves are mechanically mixed, the resulting mixed molecular sieve has an uneven distribution of micropores and mesopores, and the improvement in diffusion performance is not significant enough. In the present invention, the inventors mixed the mother liquor after the primary crystallization of SAPO-18 molecular sieve with ball-milled ultra-large pore silica gel and performed a secondary crystallization to obtain a porous cracking catalyst. The composite molecular sieve obtained by this method has a uniform distribution of micropores and mesopores, and exhibits high catalytic activity and high selectivity for light olefins when used in the catalytic cracking reaction of waste plastics.

White solid material was obtained by suction filtration, and the solid material was washed with distilled water for 8 times to obtain silica gel filter cake. The silica gel filter cake was dried at 110 °C for 12 h and calcined at 550 °C for 8 h, and then put into a 100 mL ball mill tank, wherein the material of the ball mill tank was polytetrafluoroethylene, the material of the grinding ball was agate, the diameter of the grinding ball was 3 mm, the number of the grinding ball was 4, and the rotating speed was 400 r / min.

Figure 1

[0082] (2) Preparation of porous cracking catalyst

[0083] Firstly, pseudo-boehmite powder (produced by Shandong Aluminum Co., Ltd., specific surface area 257 m 2 / g, pore volume 0.32 cm 3 / g) with a model number of P-DF-03-LS was mixed with deionized water at a temperature of 60 °C, stirred for 1 h, then phosphoric acid was added, stirred for 1 h, then silica sol was added, and after uniform stirring, the template N, N-diisopropyl ethylamine was slowly added dropwise. The molar ratio of n (Al2O3) : n (SiO2) : n (P2O5) : n (C8H 19 N) : n (H2O) in the mixed system was 1:0.6:0.9:1.6:60. After the template was added dropwise, the mixed system was continuously stirred at 60 °C for 1 h to obtain a gel mixture. Then the gel mixture was transferred into a hydrothermal kettle with a polytetrafluoroethylene liner for the first crystallization treatment. The temperature of the first crystallization treatment was 170 °C, and the time was 12 h. The mixed slurry obtained after the first crystallization treatment was uniformly mixed with the superlarge-pore silica gel A (the weight ratio of the superlarge-pore silica gel to the mixed slurry was 1:6.4), and the second crystallization treatment was carried out.

[0178] The SAPO-18 molecular sieves were prepared according to the method of Comparative Example 4.

[0179] 1.8 g of calcium nitrate was dissolved in 100 g of deionized water, 9.4 g of the above SAPO-18 molecular sieves was added, and the mixture was stirred at 50°C for 6 h. After removing the water by using a rotary evaporator, the obtained solid product was dried at 110°C for 12 h, and then calcined at 600°C for 8 h to obtain a cracking catalyst D3.

[0180] The content of the SAPO-18 molecular sieves was 94% by weight, and the content of calcium oxide was 6% based on the total weight of the cracking catalyst D3.

[0181] The specific surface area of the cracking catalyst D3 was 518 m 2 / g, and the pore volume was 0.21 cm 3 / g.

[0182] The reaction performance of the cracking catalyst D3 was tested according to the same method of Example 1, step (3) for the direct conversion of waste plastics to light olefins, and the evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

[0183] Comparative Example 6

[0184] The catalyst was prepared according to the same method of Example 1, except that:

[0185] Step (1) in Example 1 was cancelled.

[0186] The cracking catalyst D4 was prepared, and the specific process was as follows:

[0187] Pseudo-boehmite powder (produced by Shandong Aluminum Co., Ltd., specific surface area 257 m 2 / g, pore volume 0.32 cm 3 / g) was first mixed with deionized water at a temperature of 60°C, stirred for 1 h, then phosphoric acid was added, stirred for another 1 h, then silica sol was added, stirred uniformly, and then the template N,N-diisopropyl ethylamine was slowly added dropwise. The molar ratio of n(Al2O3):n(SiO2):n(P2O5):n(C8H 19 N):n(H2O) in the mixed system was 1:0.6:0.9:1.6:60. After the template was added dropwise, the mixed system was stirred at 60°C for 1 h to obtain a gel mixture. The gel mixture was then transferred into a hydrothermal kettle with a polytetrafluoroethylene liner to perform a first crystallization treatment. The temperature of the first crystallization treatment was 170°C, and the time was 12 h. The mixed slurry obtained after the first crystallization treatment was uniformly mixed with silica powder (laboratory-made, specific surface area 274 m 2 / g, pore volume 0.57 cm 3 / g) (the weight ratio of the large-pore silica gel to the mixed slurry was 1:6.4) to perform a second crystallization treatment. The temperature of the second crystallization treatment was 170°C, and the time was 60 h. After the crystallization was completed, the solid product obtained by centrifugal filtration was washed with deionized water for 6 times, the solid product was dried at 110°C for 10 h, and then calcined at 550°C for 16 h to obtain a mixed molecular sieve.

[0188] 1.2 g of calcium nitrate was dissolved in 100 g of deionized water, 9.6 g of the above mixed molecular sieve was added, stirred at 50°C for 6 h, and then the solid product obtained after water was removed using a rotary evaporator was dried at 110°C for 12 h and calcined at 600°C for 8 h to obtain a cracking catalyst D4.

[0189] Based on the total weight of the cracking catalyst D4, the content of the SAPO-18 molecular sieve was 45 wt%, the content of the silica was 51 wt%, and the content of the calcium oxide was 4%.

[0190] The reaction performance of the composite material D4 was tested according to the same method for evaluating the reaction performance of the direct conversion of waste plastics to low-carbon olefins in step (3) in Example 1, and the evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

[0191] Table 1

[0192]

[0193]

[0194] The above results show that the porous cracking catalyst provided by the present invention can directly catalyze the conversion of waste plastics into light olefins. The waste plastic conversion rate is 100%, and the light olefin yield is high.

[0195] In Comparative Example 1, the ultra-large pore silica gel content was too high, the SAPO-18 molecular sieve content was too low, and the modified oxide content was also outside the range specified in the present invention. Due to the small number of acidic sites on the catalyst, insufficient activation sites during the reaction resulted in low feedstock conversion and low light olefin yields.

[0196] In Comparative Example 2, the ultra-large pore silica gel content was too low, the SAPO-18 molecular sieve content was too high, and the modified oxide content was significantly below the range specified in the present invention. Due to the limited number of mesopores in the catalyst, the diffusion of reactant and product molecules during the reaction was hindered, making it impossible to effectively suppress side reactions, resulting in a low yield of light olefins.

[0197] In Comparative Example 3, only ultra-large pore silica gel was used as the cracking catalyst without adding SAPO-18 molecular sieve. Since there were almost no active acidic centers on the catalyst, the raw material conversion rate and the yield of light olefins were low.

[0198] In Comparative Example 4, only SAPO-18 molecular sieve was used as the cracking catalyst, without the addition of ultra-macroporous silica or modification. Because the catalyst lacks mesoporous channels, diffusion of reactant and product molecules is hindered during the reaction, and the distribution of surface acidic sites is irrational, resulting in a low yield of light olefins.

[0199] In Comparative Example 5, only the modified SAPO-18 molecular sieve was used as the cracking catalyst without the addition of ultra-macroporous silica. Because the catalyst lacked mesoporous channels, diffusion of reactant and product molecules was hindered during the reaction, resulting in a low yield of light olefins.

[0200] In Comparative Example 6, silica powder was used instead of ultra-large pore silica gel. Since silica has a lower specific surface area, a smaller pore volume, and an irregular pore structure, its dispersion effect is significantly lower than that of ultra-large pore silica gel, resulting in a lower yield of light olefins in the cracking catalyst prepared.

[0201] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the technical concept of the present invention, various simple variations of the technical solution of the present invention may be made, including combining the various technical features in any other appropriate manner. These simple variations and combinations should also be regarded as disclosed in the present invention and fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
