Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst protectant technology, and in particular to a magnesium aluminum spinel protectant and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In modern chemical production, carbon monoxide (C2O) sulfur-resistant shift catalysts play a crucial role in the production processes of important chemical products such as ammonia synthesis, methanol production, and hydrogen production. Their core reaction principle is to promote the catalytic reaction between carbon monoxide and water vapor, converting it into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. However, the raw material gases used in actual industrial production are extremely complex, inevitably containing solid impurities such as carbon black, tar, and dust, as well as toxic compounds such as As2O3 and P2O5. When these impurities and poisons enter the reaction system with the raw material gas and come into contact with the C2O sulfur-resistant shift catalyst, they trigger a series of negative effects. Solid impurities easily deposit on the catalyst surface, clogging the catalyst's microporous structure and hindering effective contact between reactants and the catalyst's active sites, leading to the covering of active sites and a significant reduction in activity. Poisons such as As2O3 and P2O5 react chemically with the catalyst's active components, altering the catalyst's chemical composition and crystal structure, causing permanent deactivation and drastically shortening its lifespan.

[0003] Existing catalyst protectants have several shortcomings in dealing with these complex operating conditions. In terms of strength, they cannot withstand pressure fluctuations and material erosion during industrial reactions, easily breaking and increasing bed resistance, thus affecting production continuity. Their pore size design is unreasonable, failing to provide sufficient space for impurity adsorption and reducing the protective effect. Their adsorption capacity for various impurities and poisons is limited, making it difficult to meet the demand for efficient purification of feed gas. Regarding catalyst protection, they cannot comprehensively prevent impurities and poisons from eroding the catalyst, failing to fully utilize their protective function, thus making it difficult for existing protectants to meet the growing demands of industrial production.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies generally employ magnesium aluminum spinel as a protective agent for carbon monoxide shift catalysts for the following reasons: 1. Magnesium aluminum spinel possesses a cubic crystal structure with stable crystal structure. This stable structure allows it to maintain its structural integrity under harsh conditions such as high temperature and high pressure during the carbon monoxide-sulfur shift reaction, making it less prone to decomposition or phase transformation, thus enabling it to continuously function as a protective agent; 2. Magnesium aluminum spinel typically has a large specific surface area, providing abundant surface active sites. This facilitates its interaction with impurities and poisons in the raw materials through adsorption and other processes, effectively removing and adsorbing impurities such as carbon black, tar, and dust from the raw gas, preventing these substances from clogging or contaminating the carbon monoxide-sulfur shift catalyst, and ensuring the catalyst's activity and stability; 3. Magnesium aluminum spinel has high mechanical strength, enabling protective agents with it as a main component to withstand pressure changes and material erosion during the reaction process, making them less prone to breakage and pulverization. In practical industrial applications, it can maintain good particle integrity, maintain the stability of the catalyst bed, ensure uniform gas flow through the bed, reduce the risk of flow deviation, and enable the reaction to proceed stably and efficiently; 4. The high porosity of magnesium aluminum spinel gives it good adsorption and gas diffusion performance. On the one hand, the large number of pores can provide sufficient adsorption space for impurities and poisons, increasing the adsorption capacity for impurities in the feed gas; on the other hand, it is conducive to the diffusion of reactant gases inside the protective agent particles, enabling the carbon monoxide-sulfur-resistant shift reaction to proceed smoothly, while also helping the adsorbed impurities and poisons to diffuse and accumulate in the pores, enhancing the protective effect; 5. Magnesium aluminum spinel has good chemical stability. In the environment of the carbon monoxide-sulfur-resistant shift reaction, it is not easy to react chemically with the components or reaction products in the feed gas, and can maintain its own chemical properties unchanged. This allows it to stably perform its protective function for a longer period of time, without affecting the protective effect on the carbon monoxide sulfur-resistant shift catalyst due to its own chemical changes; 6. Magnesium aluminum spinel itself has certain organic sulfur hydrolysis properties. In the carbon monoxide sulfur-resistant shift reaction, it can hydrolyze some of the organic sulfur in the feed gas into inorganic sulfur, thereby reducing the poisoning effect of organic sulfur on the catalyst, further extending the service life of the carbon monoxide sulfur-resistant shift catalyst, and improving the efficiency and stability of the entire reaction process.

[0005] Despite the numerous advantages of magnesium aluminum spinel, it still has several shortcomings in practical applications, such as: 1. Although magnesium aluminum spinel possesses a certain degree of sulfur resistance, its ability to resist sulfur poisoning still has an upper limit in high-sulfur environments. When the sulfur content in the feed gas is too high, it may cause changes in the structure and properties of magnesium aluminum spinel, reducing its protective effect on the catalyst, or even causing sulfur poisoning itself, rendering it unable to continue its protective function; 2. Under the high-temperature conditions of the carbon monoxide-sulfur conversion reaction, although magnesium aluminum spinel has relatively good stability, it may still experience phenomena such as lattice distortion and grain growth during prolonged high-temperature operation. This may lead to a decrease in its specific surface area and changes in its pore structure, thereby affecting its adsorption performance and the protective effect on the catalyst; 3. In practical industrial applications, the carbon monoxide-sulfur conversion reaction system may use various additives or other auxiliary materials. Magnesium aluminum spinel protective agents may have compatibility issues with these substances. For example, it may react chemically with certain additives or agglomerate during mixing, thus affecting the performance of the protective agent and the entire reaction system.

[0006] Therefore, based on the relevant technologies mentioned above, there is an urgent need to develop a magnesium aluminum spinel protective agent and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention

[0129] Performance testing: The magnesium aluminum spinel protective agents prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were subjected to the following performance tests:

[0130] Specific surface area: Based on the BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) theory, the nitrogen adsorption method was used for determination, with the standard being ASTM D4567-12. A larger specific surface area means more active sites that the protective agent can provide, which is beneficial for adsorbing impurities and poisons. The protective agent sample was degassed at 200℃ for 4 hours under vacuum to remove surface-adsorbed impurities and moisture. Using a specific surface area analyzer, nitrogen gas was introduced into the sample tube at liquid nitrogen temperature (77K), and the amount of nitrogen adsorbed on the sample surface under different relative pressures was measured. The specific surface area of ​​the sample was calculated according to the BET equation.

[0131] Porosity: Determined by mercury porosimetry, standard reference ASTM D4284-19. Higher porosity allows for the containment of more impurities, increasing the adsorption capacity of the protective agent. The protective agent sample is prepared into particles with a diameter of approximately 2-3 mm. Mercury is injected into the pores of the sample using a mercury porosimetry instrument. The porosity of the sample is calculated based on the amount of mercury injected and the pressure changes. The test pressure range is from 0.005 MPa to 400 MPa.

[0132] Mechanical strength: A compressive strength test was conducted. The protective agent was formed into a cylinder of a certain size, and pressure was applied to the sample on a material testing machine until the sample broke. The pressure value at the time of breakage was recorded, and the unit was MPa. The higher the mechanical strength, the better the protective agent can resist pressure fluctuations and material erosion in industrial reactions. The protective agent powder was pressed into a cylinder with a diameter of 5 mm and a height of 10 mm. The prepared sample was placed on the indenter of the material testing machine, and pressure was applied at a loading rate of 0.5 mm / min until the sample broke. The pressure value at this time was recorded. The test was repeated 5 times, and the average value was taken as the compressive strength of the sample.

[0133] Adsorption performance: Using a simulated feed gas containing carbon black, tar, dust, and impurities and toxins such as As2O3 and P2O5, the adsorption capacity of the protective agent for various impurities was determined through dynamic adsorption experiments. Higher adsorption capacity indicates a stronger purification capacity of the protective agent for the feed gas. A simulated feed gas was prepared by mixing carbon black, tar, dust, and impurities and toxins such as As2O3 and P2O5 in a certain proportion, using nitrogen as the carrier gas. The protective agent sample was packed into an adsorption column, and the simulated feed gas was passed through the adsorption column at a certain flow rate. The outlet gas was collected periodically, and the concentrations of impurities and toxins in the outlet gas were determined using analytical instruments such as gas chromatography and atomic absorption spectrometry. The adsorption capacity of the protective agent for various impurities was calculated based on the inlet and outlet concentration difference and the gas flow rate.

[0134] Catalyst protection effect: The protective agent and the carbon monoxide sulfur-resistant shift catalyst were loaded into a fixed-bed reactor in a certain proportion, and a simulated feed gas was introduced for reaction. The change in catalyst activity before and after the reaction was measured. The protective effect of the protective agent on the catalyst is expressed as the catalyst activity retention rate; the higher the catalyst activity retention rate, the better the protection effect. Catalyst activity is measured by the carbon monoxide conversion rate, and the calculation formula is:

[0135]

[0136] In a fixed-bed reactor, a certain amount of protective agent was first loaded, followed by a carbon monoxide-resistant shift catalyst. The mass ratio of protective agent to catalyst was 1:5. The reaction temperature was 350℃, the pressure was 3MPa, and the simulated feed gas space velocity was 1000h⁻¹. Before the reaction, the initial carbon monoxide conversion rate of the catalyst was measured. After 100 hours of reaction, the carbon monoxide conversion rate of the catalyst was measured again, and the catalyst activity retention rate was calculated. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.

[0137] Table 1

[0138]

[0139]

[0140] Table 2

[0141]

[0142] As shown in Table 1, the magnesium-aluminum spinel protective agents prepared in Examples 1-6 are superior to those in Comparative Examples 1-6 in all performance indicators. The protective agents in these examples have higher specific surface area, porosity, and mechanical strength, resulting in greater adsorption capacity for various impurities and poisons, and better protection of the catalyst. This indicates that the method of the present invention can effectively improve the performance of the magnesium-aluminum spinel protective agent. The higher specific surface area of ​​Examples 1-6 means more active sites. A large specific surface area provides a wider space for the adsorption of impurities and poisons. A larger specific surface area increases the number of atoms or molecules that can contact the protective agent surface, increasing the probability of collision and adsorption with As2O3 molecules, thereby helping to increase the adsorption capacity of As2O3. In contrast, the smaller specific surface area of ​​Comparative Examples 1-6 results in insufficient surface active sites, limiting their adsorption capacity for various impurities. Taking carbon black adsorption as an example, due to the fewer active sites, the number of sites where carbon black molecules can attach is limited, resulting in a much lower carbon black adsorption capacity than in Example 6. The high porosity of the examples provides more storage space for impurities. In treating tar, Example 5 exhibits a porosity of 49%, allowing tar molecules to diffuse more easily into the pores and be adsorbed. The good connectivity between pores also facilitates gas transport within the protective agent, resulting in a tar adsorption capacity of 9.2 mg / g. In contrast, the relatively lower porosity of the comparative example reduces the space for impurities, potentially hindering tar molecule diffusion and leading to a significantly lower tar adsorption capacity compared to the examples. The high mechanical strength of the examples enables the protective agent to maintain structural integrity under pressure fluctuations and material erosion. When the reaction system pressure changes suddenly, the protective agent particles are less prone to breakage, maintaining the stability of the catalyst bed, ensuring uniform gas flow, and contributing to improved catalyst activity retention. The comparative example may break due to its inability to withstand pressure. The broken protective agent particles will increase bed resistance, affect gas flow, and result in a catalyst activity retention rate far lower than the average level of the examples. The examples have a higher carbon black adsorption capacity, where the synergistic effect of specific surface area and porosity makes it easier for carbon black molecules to be captured and attached to the surface and pores of the protective agent. In contrast, Comparative Example 1 has a lower specific surface area and porosity, resulting in lower tar adsorption. The examples have a higher tar adsorption capacity, which is due to the combined effect of high specific surface area, suitable porosity, and chemically active sites. The appropriate pore size distribution and surface properties in the examples are conducive to the interception and adsorption of dust particles. Comparative Example 4 has a lower dust adsorption capacity due to structural defects. The examples have a higher As2O3 adsorption capacity, as the specific preparation process generates more active sites with affinity for As2O3 on the surface of the protective agent, resulting in a high adsorption capacity. Comparative Example 5 had fewer active sites and lower As2O3 adsorption due to different preparation processes; the example had higher P2O5 adsorption, and the optimized preparation method enabled the protective agent to have a more efficient ability to adsorb P2O5. In contrast, Comparative Example 6 had lower P2O5 adsorption due to differences in raw materials and processes; the example had a higher catalyst activity retention rate.This is attributed to the excellent performance of the protective agent in terms of specific surface area, porosity, mechanical strength, and adsorption properties. The high specific surface area and porosity enable it to effectively adsorb impurities and poisons, while the high mechanical strength ensures stability during the reaction process, resulting in a relatively high catalyst activity retention rate. In contrast, Comparative Example 1, due to its relatively poor performance in various aspects, failed to adequately protect the catalyst, leading to a low activity retention rate. While Comparative Example 6 exhibited some adsorption properties, its shortcomings in mechanical strength and other aspects resulted in a catalyst activity retention rate lower than the optimal performance of the examples.
