Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of catalysts, and particularly relates to a Zn-doped ZrO2 bifunctional catalyst, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ethylene is one of the most important light olefins and is mainly used to produce high-value-added chemicals such as polyesters, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, chloroethanol, vinyl chloride, styrene, dichloroethane, and vinyl acetate. Currently, industrial production of ethylene is mainly achieved by high-temperature cracking of naphtha or ethane. The entire reaction process needs to be carried out at high temperatures (700 - 900 °C), which inevitably leads to problems such as high energy consumption, large CO x emissions, and coke deposition on the reactor wall, which does not meet the requirements of China's energy sustainable development strategy. In addition, the ethylene yield and selectivity achieved by this method are not ideal. In recent years, with the increasingly advanced shale gas extraction technology, the conversion of ethane, the second largest resource in shale gas, into high-value-added chemicals has received increasing attention.

[0003] The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene under the action of CO2 can overcome the above defects and become the most attractive method for producing ethylene. In addition, CO2 has the following advantages when participating in the reaction: 1) CO2, as a mild oxidant, slows down the over-oxidation of ethane and improves the selectivity of ethylene; 2) the process consumes CO2 and reduces greenhouse gas emissions; 3) CO2 can eliminate carbon deposition through the reverse Boudouard reaction. Thermodynamic studies have shown that the C-C bond (377 kJ / mol) of ethane is more easily broken than the C-H bond (423 kJ / mol), and various side reactions such as dry reforming of ethane will occur during the CO2-ODHE reaction process. Therefore, an ideal catalyst for the CO2-ODHE reaction should selectively break the C-H bond of ethane to produce ethylene while inhibiting the breakage of the C-C bond.

[0004] Existing catalysts mainly include noble metal-based catalysts (Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru, and Ir, etc.) and transition metal oxide catalysts (Cr, Ni, Ga, Co, and Zn, etc.). However, the high cost of noble metal-based catalysts limits their wide application, while transition metal oxides have become an ideal choice to replace noble metal catalysts due to their good redox properties, thermal stability, and low cost. Transition metal catalysts represented by Zn-based catalysts have excellent performance in activating the C-H bond of short-chain alkanes and have been widely used in the oxidative dehydrogenation of short-chain alkanes to olefins. However, when such catalysts are used in the CO2-ODHE reaction, they face dilemmas such as low yield, serious deactivation problems, and difficulty in regenerating active centers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main object of the present invention is to provide a Zn-doped ZrO2 bifunctional catalyst, its preparation method and application, so as to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the foregoing invention object, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention include:

[0083] Comparative Example 2

[0084] Dissolve zinc acetate in deionized water and place it in a water bath at 65 °C with stirring to obtain a 0.125 mol / L zinc acetate solution; dropwise add dilute ammonia water (V 氨水 / V 去离子水 = 1) to the solution until no more precipitation occurs, filter the precipitate, dry it in an oven at 100 °C for 6 h, and then calcine it at 600 °C for 3 h to obtain a ZnO material (i.e., only ZnO and no ZrO2).

[0085] Characterize and analyze the particle sizes and material compositions of Zn 0.05 ZrO, Zn 0.1 ZrO, Zn 0.2 ZrO, ZrO2, ZnO prepared in Examples 2 - 4 and Comparative Examples 1 - 2 by HRTEM and XRD, and obtain Figures 1 to 6 .

[0086] It can be seen from Figures 2 to 4 that in the Zn-doped ZrO2 bifunctional catalyst prepared in Examples 2 - 4, the zinc oxide-doped zirconia species are in the form of nanoscale particles, and the particle size of zirconia is 20 - 25 nm; it can be seen from Figure 1and Figure 5 It can be seen that the particle sizes of ZrO2 and ZnO prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are 10 nm and greater than 100 nm, respectively.

[0087] From Figure 6 it can be seen that in the Zn-doped ZrO2 bifunctional catalysts prepared in Examples 2-4, after the incorporation of ZnO, no corresponding diffraction peak was observed, indicating that ZnO was highly uniformly dispersed in ZrO2. In addition, with the doping of ZnO, the monoclinic phase of ZrO2 disappeared, and only the tetragonal phase of ZrO2 existed in the sample. In the ZrO2 prepared in Comparative Example 1, the coexistence of the monoclinic phase and the tetragonal phase could be clearly observed, and the ZnO prepared in Comparative Example 2 was a hexagonal wurtzite crystal phase.

[0088] Performance test

[0089] The Zn 0.05 ZrO, Zn 0.1 ZrO, Zn 0.2 ZrO bifunctional catalysts prepared in Examples 2-4 and the ZrO2 and ZnO materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-2 were used for the CO2-ODHE reaction to simultaneously upgrade ethane and CO2 into high-value-added products. The specific steps are as follows:

[0090] (1) Weigh a certain amount of the samples prepared in Examples 2, 3, 4 and Comparative Examples 1, 2 respectively, fill them into a quartz tube, place it in a high-temperature reaction furnace, and introduce N2 protective gas (the N2 space velocity is 6000-12000 mL·g -1 ·h -1 );

[0091] (2) Raise the temperature of the high-temperature reaction furnace to 600-700 °C, introduce the reaction gas C2H6 / CO2 / N2 = 1 / 1 / 2 (the ethane space velocity is 3000-6000 mL·g -1 ·h -1 ) for reaction, and record the concentrations of each product after the reaction by gas chromatography (GC2060). The test results are shown in Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Table 1.

[0092] From Figure 7 and Figure 8 it can be seen that during the CO2-ODHE reaction, using the ZrO2 and ZnO in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 as a control, the ethane conversion rate and ethylene yield of the Zn x ZrO samples prepared in Examples 2, 3, 4 have been significantly improved. Among them, the ethylene yield (10%) of the Zn 0.2 ZrO sample prepared in Example 4 with the best performance is nearly 4 times higher than the ethylene yield (2.6%) of the pure ZrO2 prepared in Comparative Example 1. Figure 8Among them, although the ethylene yield of ZnO is slightly higher than that of Zn at the beginning of the reaction 0.05 ZrO, its catalysis is not stable and deactivates quickly. After a certain reaction time, its yield is lower than that of Zn 0.05 ZrO.

[0093] Table 1 Catalytic performance data of the Zn 0.2 ZrO sample with the best performance prepared in Example 1

[0094]

[0095] As can be seen from Table 1, the Zn 0.2 ZrO catalyst with the best performance prepared in Example 4, at 700 °C and an ethane space velocity of 3000 mL·g -1 ·h -1 , the formation rate of ethylene is 797.6 μmol·min -1 ·g -1 , exceeding all the catalysts reported in previous literature.

[0096] In addition, the inventors of this case also referred to the foregoing examples and conducted experiments with other raw materials, process operations, and process conditions described in this specification, and all obtained relatively ideal results.

[0097] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention. Their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the invention patent should be subject to the appended claims.
