Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of catalysts, and in particular to a catalyst for producing propylene by dehydrogenating propane, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Propylene is one of the important raw materials for various chemicals and intermediates (such as polypropylene, acrylonitrile, acetone, propylene oxide, etc.) in the production of modern petrochemical industry. In recent years, the global demand and production of propylene have increased. The production of propylene mainly relies on traditional catalytic cracking and steam cracking of naphtha or other petroleum by-products, which has a series of problems worthy of attention, such as high energy consumption, low propylene selectivity, lack of crude oil reserves, and large amounts of CO2 emissions.

[0003] At present, the main industrial technologies for catalytic dehydrogenation are Lummus' Catofin process (Cr2O3 / Al2O3 catalyst) and Honeywell UOP's Oleflex process (Pt-Sn / Al2O3 catalyst). x Compared with Pt-based catalysts, Pt-based catalysts have the advantages of environmental protection and high catalytic activity. With the development of shale gas and the increase in propane availability, propane dehydrogenation to propylene (PDH) has become an alternative way to reduce the dependence of propylene production on traditional processes. Since PDH has high endothermicity and thermodynamic limitations, relatively high temperature and low pressure are crucial to obtain a high propylene yield. In addition, due to strict environmental regulations, some countries also have certain restrictions on the preparation and application of chromium-based catalysts. Therefore, both academia and industry will pay more attention to the development of new PDH catalysts.

[0004] Pt has the function of activating the CH bond of alkanes in the eighth group and is often used as an active component for the dehydrogenation of alkanes. However, in the PDH process, the sintering of Pt species and the carbon deposition of Pt-based catalysts are the reasons for the gradual deterioration of the dehydrogenation performance. Therefore, by adding different additives (such as Sn, Ga, Zn, Cu, In, Mg, Ca, Pr, Nd, etc.) to platinum-based catalysts to form a bimetallic or multimetallic system and loading it onto a porous material carrier, the dispersibility, reducibility, structure and electronic properties of the Pt catalyst can be changed, and the catalytic activity and stability can be improved. There are already some catalysts for PDH in the prior art, but they all have some shortcomings.

[0005] Patent CN101411978A discloses a continuous equal volume impregnation method using Pt and Sn metals as main catalysts, Zn and rare earth metal elements as additives, and γ-Al2O3 as a carrier to prepare a propane dehydrogenation catalyst containing four components of metal elements. Nitrogen is used as a diluent gas during the reaction, and the prepared catalyst has high propylene selectivity and propane conversion rate. However, the preparation cycle of the catalyst is long, the energy consumption is high, and the use of nitrogen as a diluent gas increases the difficulty of subsequent separation and purification.

[0006] Patent CN101066532A reports a Sn-containing ZSM-5 molecular sieve, which exhibits high selectivity and stability in the catalytic process of propane dehydrogenation to propylene, but the conversion rate is relatively low. In addition, the preparation process of the Sn-containing ZSM-5 molecular sieve is cumbersome and energy-intensive, and the content of each metal component is relatively high, which increases the preparation cost of the catalyst.
