Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of catalysts, and in particular to a silver catalyst suitable for use under low space velocity conditions and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ethylene oxide (EO), as the simplest cyclic ether, belongs to the class of heterocyclic compounds and is an important petrochemical intermediate. Ethylene oxide is produced industrially by direct reaction of ethylene and oxygen. Ethylene oxide is mainly used to produce ethylene glycol. In addition, it can be used to produce a variety of chemical products such as pharmaceutical intermediates, pesticide emulsifiers, anti-corrosion coatings, glycol ethers, surfactants, etc. Ethylene glycol is mainly used to produce polyester fibers, bottle resins, films and antifreeze agents. In addition, EO can be used as a fumigant for the preservation of grain and food due to its bactericidal effect, and has broad prospects for development and utilization.

[0003] α-Al2O3-supported silver-based catalyst is the only effective industrial catalyst in the reaction of ethylene to ethylene oxide. The active component silver is deposited on the carrier by impregnation. The catalyst needs an additive to promote the silver active component to show good performance. Patent CN1426836A additives mainly include rhenium and cesium, and also contain one or more of alkali metals lithium, sodium and potassium. In addition, patents CN103212415A and US20090275763A1 propose that one or more of tungsten, molybdenum, manganese, etc. can also be used as additives to improve the performance of the catalyst, further improving the space-time yield and selectivity of ethylene oxide.

[0004] The production process of silver catalyst mainly adopts the over-impregnation method. The preparation of catalyst with silver content higher than 28wt.% requires not only two impregnation steps, but also the preparation of a silver-containing impregnation solution with a higher concentration, which increases the manufacturing cost of the catalyst and causes the loss of precious metal silver. Therefore, reducing the silver content of the catalyst, reducing the number of impregnations in the preparation process, and ensuring that the catalyst has higher performance is a promising development direction for silver catalysts. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a silver catalyst suitable for low space velocity conditions and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a silver catalyst suitable for use under low space velocity conditions, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0007] The amine organic compound, the silver precursor, the alkali metal additive, other metal additives and deionized water are mixed to obtain an impregnation solution;

[0008] Subjecting the carrier to negative pressure treatment to obtain a first carrier;

[0009] Adding the first carrier into the impregnation liquid for impregnation, and then removing and draining to obtain a second carrier;

[0010] The second carrier is calcined to obtain the silver catalyst.

[0011] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the amine organic compound, the silver precursor, the alkali metal additive, the other metal additive and the deionized water is (264-280):(360-392):(2.7-5.4):(0.9-1.1):(65-105).

[0012] Furthermore, the amine organic compound includes at least one of ethylenediamine and ethanolamine; and the silver precursor includes silver oxalate.

[0013] Furthermore, the metal element in the alkali metal additive includes at least one of lithium, sodium, potassium, cesium and rubidium; the metal element in the other metal additive includes at least one of rhenium, tungsten, molybdenum and manganese.

[0014] Furthermore, the metal elements in the alkali metal additive are a combination of sodium, cesium and rubidium, and the combined weight ratio of the sodium, the cesium and the rubidium is (2.4-3.6):(3.2-4.8):(1.2-1.8); the metal elements in the other metal additives are a combination of rhenium and tungsten, and the combined weight ratio of the rhenium and the tungsten is (3.5-4.5):(1-1.2).

[0015] Furthermore, the carrier includes an α-alumina carrier, and the working condition parameters of the negative pressure treatment include: a vacuum degree of 0.1 MPa, and a time of 1 to 2 hours.

[0016] Furthermore, the working condition parameters of the immersion include: a time of 2-4 hours.

[0017] Furthermore, the working condition parameters of the roasting include: a roasting temperature of 300-500° C. and a roasting time of 3-10 minutes.

[0018] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a silver catalyst suitable for use under low space velocity conditions as described in any one of the first aspect, which is prepared by the preparation method as described in any one of the first aspect.

[0019] The above technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention has at least the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0020] The embodiment of the present invention provides a silver catalyst suitable for low space velocity conditions and a preparation method thereof, and prepares a silver catalyst with high performance under relatively low space velocity conditions, which can directly oxidize ethylene to produce ethylene oxide, and the silver content is greater than 19wt.% and less than 21wt.%. It can be prepared by a one-step impregnation method, which simplifies the preparation steps and reduces the catalyst cost. Specifically:

[0021] The content of alkali metal promoter in the catalyst of this invention is higher than the existing reports, such as US20140088316A1, the total amount of alkali metal promoter is greater than 1200ppmw, less than 2000ppmw, preferably 1500ppmw, and the higher alkali metal content does not reduce the performance of the catalyst, but can improve the selectivity and stability of the catalyst under low space velocity conditions. Alkali metal promoters include lithium, sodium, potassium, cesium and rubidium, etc., preferably a combination of sodium, cesium and rubidium, and other promoters include rhenium, tungsten, molybdenum and manganese, etc., preferably a combination of rhenium and tungsten.

[0022] The catalyst is prepared using an α-alumina carrier.

First, the amine organic compound, silver precursor, alkali metal additive and deionized water are fully mixed to prepare an impregnation solution. Then the alumina carrier is placed in the mixed solution for immersion. After the excessive impregnation is completed, the solution is drained and high-temperature roasting is performed in an air atmosphere to obtain a silver catalyst sample. The silver loading required by the catalyst can be achieved in one impregnation process.

[0023] Before impregnation, the carrier should be treated with negative pressure to exhaust the excess air in the carrier. The carrier impregnation time is 2-4 hours. The calcination temperature of the sample after impregnation is 300-500℃, and the calcination time is 3-10 minutes. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0069] Test Case

[0070] In this example, the silver catalyst obtained in the above embodiment and comparative example 1 was tested for its effect, including the following process: a fixed bed reactor was used to evaluate the performance of the silver catalyst prepared in the present invention. The silver catalyst was crushed and sieved to take out particles with a size of 20-40 mesh, with a volume of 0.5 ml, and placed in the constant temperature section of the reactor. The pressure of the catalyst evaluation was 2.0 MPa, and the volume space velocity was 2700 h -1 , reaction temperature 222° C. The reaction inlet gas composition includes 20 mol% ethylene, 4 mol% oxygen, less than 0.8 mol% carbon dioxide, 0.5-10 ppm ethyl chloride / ethylene dichloride, and nitrogen as the balance gas.

[0071] After the measurement results were corrected for volume shrinkage, the selectivity (S) was calculated according to the following formula:

[0072] S=ΔEO / (ΔEO+0.5*ΔCO2)*100%

[0073] Where ΔEO is the concentration difference of ethylene oxide in the reactor inlet and outlet gases, and ΔCO2 is the concentration difference of carbon dioxide in the reactor inlet and outlet gases.

[0074] The test results are shown in Table 1. Note in Table 1: If the ethylene oxide yield does not meet the conditions, the selectivity and ethylene single-pass conversion rate are not calculated and are represented by "-".
