Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Specifically, it relates to a light hydrocarbon aromatization catalyst that produces more low-carbon alkanes, its preparation method, and its application in the reaction of converting light hydrocarbons into propane, butane, and aromatics. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing refining capacity in my country, a large amount of light hydrocarbon components, such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), reformate topping oil, and aromatic residue oil, produced by refineries have not been rationally utilized. How to convert these low-value light hydrocarbon resources into high-value chemical feedstocks such as low-carbon alkanes and light aromatics (BTX) is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed in the current transformation of refining into chemical processing. Light hydrocarbon aromatization technology is a highly efficient utilization technology that converts light hydrocarbon feedstocks into higher-value light aromatics and propane through a series of parallel reactions, including cracking, dehydrogenation, disproportionation, hydrogen transfer, cyclization, and isomerization, at relatively low reaction temperatures under the action of a catalyst. Research on light hydrocarbon aromatization catalysts has also shifted from metal-supported catalysts to molecular sieve catalysts. For light hydrocarbon aromatization technology, developing novel catalysts with high conversion rates, high selectivity, and high stability is currently a research hotspot.

[0003] CN112588314A discloses the preparation and application of a catalyst for the production of propane from light hydrocarbons. This catalyst uses one or more of the following molecular sieves as active components: HZSM-5, HY-type molecular sieves, β-molecular sieves, mordenite, and SAPO-34 molecular sieves. It uses one or more of rare earth metals, Zn, Ga, Ni, Ag, Mo, Cu, and P as modifying elements. The preparation method involves first adding a binder to the molecular sieve active component, followed by mixing, extrusion, drying, and calcination. Then, one or more of Zn, Ga, Ni, Ag, Mo, Cu, and P are used as modifying elements for modification. After drying and calcination, the catalyst is aged with steam to obtain the catalyst for the production of propane from light hydrocarbons. The reaction conditions are: reaction temperature 320–450℃, reaction pressure 0.1–3.0 MPa, and space velocity 0.1–2.0 h⁻¹. -1 Under certain conditions, introducing light hydrocarbons into contact with the catalyst to react can yield a better propane yield.

[0004] CN110951500A discloses a method for producing propane and gasoline from alkanes, comprising subjecting the hydrocarbons to a non-hydrogen-exposed environment at 0.1–3.0 MPa and 400–550 °C, with a feed mass hourly space velocity of 0.1–10.0 h⁻¹. -1The reaction is carried out under specific conditions in contact with a hydrocarbon conversion catalyst, which comprises 20–85% by mass of ZSM series zeolite and 15–80% by mass of binder, wherein the ZSM series zeolite is ZSM-5 and / or ZSM-35, the catalyst has an α value of 60–80, and the alkanes are selected from one or more C5–C12 alkanes. This method can produce propane under non-hydrogen-dependent conditions and produce high-octane gasoline blending components as a byproduct.

[0005] CN113385215A discloses a method for preparing a catalyst for propane production via hydrocracking and its application. This catalyst uses micron-sized SAPO-34 molecular sieves as the crystal nucleus and ZSM-5 molecular sieves as the outer layer, thus preparing a SAPO-34 / ZSM-5 composite molecular sieve catalyst with a core-shell structure. Simultaneously, modification methods are used to modify the pore structure and acid distribution of the composite molecular sieve. This catalyst can enable the catalytic cracking of light hydrocarbons to produce propane under hydrocracking conditions.

[0006] The aforementioned process routes for preparing low-carbon alkanes, light aromatics, and gasoline from light hydrocarbons are all light hydrocarbon aromatization technology routes. Current applied research mainly focuses on the fixed-bed catalyst stage, which suffers from the problem of catalyst deactivation due to easy carbon deposition, requiring frequent switching and regeneration. There is an urgent need to develop novel catalysts with moderate acidity, strong carbon-holding capacity, high activity, and high stability. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the problems of current catalysts for converting light hydrocarbons into low-carbon alkanes using the light hydrocarbon aromatization mechanism being prone to coking, deactivation, and difficulty in regeneration, and the strong acidity of the catalysts and the easy cracking of light hydrocarbon feedstocks into low-value dry gas, this invention provides a light hydrocarbon aromatization catalyst that produces more low-carbon alkanes, its preparation method, and its application. The catalyst used in the light hydrocarbon aromatization reaction has a high yield of low-carbon alkanes and a low yield of dry gas. Furthermore, the catalyst has good stability, a long single-pass reaction cycle, and low coking.

[0008] The first aspect of the present invention provides a light hydrocarbon aromatization catalyst that produces more low-carbon alkanes, comprising a hydrogen-form Silicalite-1@ZSM-5 core-shell molecular sieve, an active metal and / or a binder, wherein the hydrogen-form Silicalite-1@ZSM-5 core-shell molecular sieve has a Silicalite-1 molecular sieve as the core layer and a ZSM-5 molecular sieve as the shell layer, and the particle size is 90-140 nm.

[0009] The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the catalyst described in the first aspect of the present invention. When the catalyst comprises a hydrogen-form Silicalite-1@ZSM-5 core-shell molecular sieve and an active metal, the preparation method comprises: impregnating the hydrogen-form Silicalite-1@ZSM-5 core-shell molecular sieve with a solution of a compound containing an active metal under alkaline conditions, and then performing a first drying and a first calcination step ST1; when the catalyst comprises a hydrogen-form Silicalite-1@ZSM-5 core-shell molecular sieve, an active metal, and a binder, further mixing the product obtained in step ST1 and the binder precursor, and then performing a second drying and a second calcination step ST2.

[0010] The catalyst of this invention uses hydrogen-type Silicalite-1@ZSM-5 core-shell molecular sieve as the active component for light hydrocarbon aromatization reaction. It has a high yield of low-carbon alkanes and a low dry gas yield. In addition, the catalyst has good stability, long single-pass reaction cycle and low coke deposition.

[0011] The catalyst of this invention can effectively reduce coking and deactivation under aromatization reaction conditions. The active component, hydrogen-form Silicalite-1@ZSM-5 core-shell molecular sieve, has a higher carbon-holding capacity. The weaker acidity of the core layer molecular sieve reduces coking in the core layer, resulting in a higher concentration of carbon species in the shell layer, making the catalyst easier to regenerate.

[0017] The catalyst of this invention uses hydrogen-form Silicalite-1@ZSM-5 core-shell molecular sieve as the active component. It is suitable for the conversion reaction of C5-C10 alkanes, or light hydrocarbons and naphtha feedstocks with these as the main components, under non-hydrogen-exposed conditions. The reactants undergo a series of parallel and sequential reactions such as cracking, dehydrogenation, hydrogen transfer, and aromatization under the action of the catalyst to generate propane, butane, and high-value light aromatics. The hydrogen-form Silicalite-1@ZSM-5 core-shell molecular sieve uses Silicalite-1 molecular sieve as the core layer and ZSM-5 molecular sieve as the shell layer. Epitaxial growth of ZSM-5 molecular sieves on the Silicalite-1 molecular sieve effectively solves the problem of product desorption caused by blockage inside the molecular sieve channels. Using Silicalite-1 as the core layer reduces the Brønsted acid content inside the core-shell molecular sieve, thereby inhibiting strong cracking reactions of reactants inside the molecular sieve, ensuring that cracking reactions occur entirely on the ZSM-5 molecular sieve shell, thus reducing the yield of dry gas and the overall carbon deposition of the molecular sieve.

[0018] The catalyst of this invention can generate propane, butane and light aromatic hydrocarbons with low carbon number from alkanes with 5 to 10 carbon atoms under a wide range of reaction conditions, wherein the yield of propane is >60% and the yield of butane is >14%.

[0053] Step (1): Under stirring conditions, tetraethyl silicate, tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, ethanol and deionized water were added to a reaction vessel to obtain a core layer molecular sieve synthesis system. The mass ratio of tetraethyl silicate (as SiO2) to tetrapropylammonium hydroxide was 1.1, the mass ratio of tetraethyl silicate (as SiO2) to ethanol was 4.6, and the mass ratio of tetraethyl silicate (as SiO2) to water was 1.8.
