Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of supported catalyst technology, specifically, it relates to a CoCe composite oxide catalyst and its preparation method, as well as a method for catalyzing the dehydrogenation of propane to propylene. Background Technology

[0002] Propylene, as an important basic raw material in the petrochemical industry, is used industrially in the preparation of various high-value-added products, including polypropylene, propylene oxide, isopropanol, ethyl acrylate, and acrylonitrile. Propylene derivatives also have wide applications in industrial production and daily life. For example, polypropylene, compared to polyethylene, has better mechanical properties and heat resistance, and is therefore widely used in food packaging and optical fibers. Propylene oxide can be used to produce polyether polyols and further synthesized into polyurethane foam materials, which are essential basic materials for thermal insulation, sound insulation, and waterproofing. Acrylonitrile can be polymerized with butadiene to form nitrile rubber, which has excellent elasticity, weather resistance, and chemical resistance, and is widely used in the automotive industry and other fields.

[0003] Compared to traditional fluidized bed catalytic cracking and naphtha steam cracking, which are hampered by fossil fuel consumption and suffer from low propylene selectivity in methanol-to-olefins (MTO), propane dehydrogenation to propylene is particularly important due to the shift of the refining industry towards chemical feedstock production, the abundance of feedstocks from shale gas development, and the targeted production of propylene. The propane dehydrogenation process selectively breaks the CH bonds in propane molecules under the action of a catalyst to generate the single product propylene, thus achieving a relatively high propylene yield. Furthermore, advancements in technologies such as hydraulic fracturing have enabled the efficient development of shale gas resources. The abundant propane components in shale gas significantly reduce the feedstock costs required for propane dehydrogenation, widening the market price gap between propane and propylene and greatly improving the economic viability of producing the higher value-added product propylene from propane dehydrogenation. Therefore, propane dehydrogenation to propylene technology is considered the most promising propylene production technology and has attracted widespread attention in both industrial applications and basic research.

[0004] Propane dehydrogenation plants, primarily using the Oleflex and Catofin processes, are widely deployed globally, but the Pt-based and CrO-based materials they utilize... x Traditional catalysts suffer from either high cost or high toxicity, making the search for inexpensive, low-toxicity, and high-performance alternative catalysts an urgent need.

[0065] 0.5 g of catalyst was placed in a fixed-bed reactor and subjected to an incubation period of 1 h at a total pressure of 0.1 MPa, a propane atmosphere of 19 kPa, and 590 °C. -1 The reaction was carried out at a weight-space-time velocity, and the products were detected by GC. The reaction results for each embodiment are shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

[0066] Depend on Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the catalysts prepared in Examples 1 to 5 have excellent performance in catalyzing the dehydrogenation of propane to propylene. Among them, 1Co / 20CeAl has the best performance, achieving the best performance of 46.9% propane conversion and 86.6% propylene selectivity in 5 min.

[0067] The inventors used the catalysts prepared in Examples 6 and 7 to catalyze the dehydrogenation of propane to propylene. 0.5 g of the catalyst was placed in a fixed-bed reactor, and the reactor was subjected to a total pressure of 0.1 MPa, a propane atmosphere of 19 kPa, and a temperature of 590°C for 1 hour. -1 The reaction was carried out at a weight-space velocity, and the products were detected by GC. The reaction results are shown below. Figure 3 .

[0068] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that as the Ce content increases from 10% to 40%, the conversion rate gradually increases to 49.8% of 1Co / 40CeAl, but the selectivity of 1Co / 40CeAl decreases to 68.2%, so the optimal performance is achieved in 1Co / 20CeAl.

[0069] The inventors placed 0.5 g of the composite oxide catalyst from Example 3 into a fixed-bed reactor and incubated it at a total pressure of 0.1 MPa, a propane atmosphere of 19 kPa, and a temperature of 550–590 °C for 1 hour. -1 The reaction was carried out at a weight-space velocity, and the products were detected by GC. The reaction results are shown below. Figure 4 .

This indicates that there is oxygen supply from CeO2 to CoO, which leads to the formation of oxygen vacancies in CeO2 at a lower temperature. This helps to maintain the partial oxidation state of CoO, and there is an oxide carrier interaction between CoO and CeO2.

The results are shown in [Figure number missing]. Figure 10 .Depend on Figure 10 It is evident that no Co was produced after reduction. 0 The oxide support interaction between CoO and CeO2 inhibits Co 2+ Propane dehydrogenation active sites are deeply reduced.

[0081] In summary, the CoCe composite oxide catalyst prepared by this invention uses non-noble metal oxides as active centers and, through the interaction between CoO and CeO2 oxide supports, improves the Co content generated during the preparation process. 2+ And further inhibited Co 2+ Propane dehydrogenation active sites are deeply reduced, improving reaction performance.
