Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of the reaction for alkylating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons into high-value-added chemicals, and particularly relates to a bifunctional catalyst for synthesizing 2-methylnaphthalene or 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene by alkylation of syngas and naphthalene, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of coal chemical industry and petrochemical industry, the development of synthesizing 2-methylnaphthalene and 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene from naphthalene as raw materials can not only increase the added value of naphthalene, but also reduce the production cost of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, laying a foundation for industrial application.

[0003] 2-Methylnaphthalene and 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene are important raw materials for synthesizing polymeric materials with excellent properties. Among them, 2-methylnaphthalene is used as an intermediate for producing vitamin K3 in medicine, oxidized to prepare β-naphthol, and used as a long-acting or short-acting oral contraceptive. In agriculture, it is used to synthesize plant growth regulators and DDT emulsifiers; after sulfonation, it can be used as a detergent, and can also be used as a raw material for fiber dyeing assistants, wetting agents, surfactants, pesticides, etc.; 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN) is an important raw material for synthesizing polymeric materials with excellent properties. The corresponding 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (2,6-NDCA) formed after its oxidation and the ethylene glycol condensate 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid ethylene glycol ester (PEN) are a new type of polyester material. Compared with the traditionally used polyethylene terephthalate (PET), PEN has better gas barrier properties, heat resistance, chemical stability, and radiation resistance, and can be widely used in the manufacturing industries of fibers, electronic components, building components, instruments, insulating materials, photographic films, magnetic tapes, food packaging films, beer bottles, and aerospace and atomic energy materials, etc. It has great development potential and is the fastest-growing polymer material in the past decade. The traditional process route for methylation of methanol and naphthalene is to directly alkylate methanol and naphthalene on a molecular sieve catalyst. Although this technical route is relatively mature, there are the following problems: The self-reaction of methanol (such as methanol to olefins) is easier to proceed than the methylation of methanol and naphthalene, resulting in a large amount of methanol not participating in the methylation reaction, causing a low single-pass conversion rate of naphthalene, and methanol is prone to generate a large amount of carbonaceous precursors such as light olefins under the action of the catalyst, making the catalyst prone to carbon deposition and deactivation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the problem that the catalyst is prone to deactivation in the process of methylation of methanol and naphthalene in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a bifunctional catalyst for synthesizing 2-methylnaphthalene or 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene by alkylation of syngas and naphthalene, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. The catalyst prepared by this method has good catalytic activity.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A bifunctional catalyst for the alkylation of syngas with naphthalene to prepare 2-methylnaphthalene or 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, comprising a metal single-atom supported catalyst and a molecular sieve;

[0007] Among them, the metal single-atom supported catalyst includes In2O3 and one metal among Cu, Pd, Rh, and Pt supported on In2O3.

[0008] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the molecular sieve to the metal single-atom supported catalyst is 3:7 to 7:3.

[0009] Furthermore, the mass percentage content of the single-atom metal supported in the metal single-atom supported catalyst is 0.1% to 1%.

[0010] Furthermore, the metal single-atom supported catalyst is prepared through the following process:

[0011] One of copper nitrate, palladium nitrate, rhodium nitrate, and platinum chloride is ball-milled with indium nitrate and urea and then calcined to obtain the metal single-atom supported catalyst.

[0012] Furthermore, the ball milling is carried out at a rotation speed of 50 Hz for 0.5 - 4 h;

[0013] The molar ratio of one of copper nitrate, palladium nitrate, rhodium nitrate, and platinum chloride, indium nitrate, and urea is (0.00001 - 0.0005):(0.01 - 0.1):(0.01 - 0.1);

[0014] The calcination temperature is 400 - 600 °C and the time is 4 - 6 h.

[0015] Furthermore, the molecular sieve is a SAPO-11 molecular sieve, or the molecular sieve is prepared through the following process: The SAPO-11 molecular sieve is immersed in a solution of zinc nitrate, gallium nitrate, cerium nitrate, or lanthanum nitrate, left standing and then dried and calcined to obtain the modified molecular sieve.

[0016] Furthermore, the loading amount of zinc, gallium, cerium, or lanthanum is 1% - 3% of the mass of the molecular sieve;

[0017] The calcination temperature is 400 - 600 °C and the time is 3 - 5 h.

[0018] A preparation method of a bifunctional catalyst for the alkylation of syngas with naphthalene to prepare 2-methylnaphthalene or 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, comprising the following steps:

[0019] Mix the metal single-atom supported catalyst and the molecular sieve and press them into tablets to obtain a bifunctional catalyst for the alkylation of syngas with naphthalene to prepare 2-methylnaphthalene or 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene.

[0020] Application of a bifunctional catalyst in the one-step synthesis of 2-methylnaphthalene or 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene from syngas and naphthalene.

[0021] Furthermore, the catalyst is added to a fixed-bed reactor, and then syngas and naphthalene are introduced. The reaction is carried out at a pressure of 1-5 MPa and a temperature of 300-550 °C to produce 2-methylnaphthalene or 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene; the volume ratio of carbon monoxide to hydrogen in the syngas is (0.1-8):1, and the volume space velocity of the syngas is 1000-50000 h -1 ; the mass space velocity of naphthalene is 0.1-5 h -1 .

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] The catalyst in the present invention includes a metal single-atom supported catalyst and a molecular sieve. Among them, the metal single-atom supported catalyst exhibits excellent CO adsorption activation ability and hydrogenolysis ability. The isolated metal and the support on the metal single-atom supported catalyst can both serve as active sites for H2 dissociation, thereby increasing the local concentration of active H* species and greatly increasing the concentration of methyl intermediates. At the same time, the metal single-atom supported catalyst has a strong interaction between the metal active center and the support, and it is not easy to cause the loss of active components. In addition, the molecular sieve has a milder acidity. These characteristics greatly extend the stability of the catalyst. In combination with the molecular sieve, the strong acid strength can be weakened, and the conversion of naphthalene can be enhanced; at the same time, the deep alkylation reaction of the product can be inhibited, and the selectivity of methylnaphthalene can be effectively improved. At the same time, the modified molecular sieve has a more reasonable acid site distribution, which is beneficial to improving the selectivity of 2-methylnaphthalene / 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene.

[0024] The present invention uses syngas instead of methanol as the methylation reagent, and it is efficiently converted with naphthalene on the catalyst prepared in the present invention. The main route is to convert syngas into active intermediates such as methanol on the metal single-atom supported catalyst, and then carry out a methylation reaction with naphthalene on the acidic sites of the zeolite molecular sieve. Therefore, using syngas and naphthalene for methylation reaction to produce high-value-added chemicals has the advantages of a short process route, high naphthalene conversion rate, high catalyst stability, and high selectivity of the target product, and is more economical and efficient. In the present invention, syngas as an alkylation reagent can greatly reduce the reaction concentration of the alkylation reagent, in-situ generate methanol intermediates on the metal oxide, and in-situ consume the intermediates, inhibiting methanol side reactions and greatly extending the catalyst life. In the present invention, the raw material syngas for preparing 2-methylnaphthalene or 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene has low cost, wide sources, a simple and efficient process route, and significant economic advantages; there is no three-waste discharge and the process is pollution-free. Using syngas as the raw material, there are fewer by-products such as polyalkylated aromatics, the reactant composition is simple, which is conducive to separation and purification, and the product selectivity is high. Detailed implementation manners

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments only.

[0027] The metal single atom supported catalyst component can be a metal single atom supported catalyst composed of one metal among Cu, Pd, Rh, and Pt and In2O3.

[0028] The metal single atom supported catalyst is prepared by the ball milling method.

[0029] The bifunctional catalyst for the alkylation of syngas with naphthalene to prepare 2-methylnaphthalene or 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene according to the present invention includes the following steps:

[0030] Preparation of the metal single atom supported catalyst by the mechanical ball milling method:

[0031] 1) Preparation of the Cu / In2O3 metal single atom supported catalyst by the mechanical ball milling method

[0032] Step 1: Put 0.00001 - 0.0005 of copper nitrate, 0.01 - 0.1 mol of indium nitrate, and 0.01 - 0.1 mol of urea into the ball milling tank;

[0033] Step 2: Conduct mechanical ball milling for 0.5 - 4 h;

[0034] Step 3: Calcine the ball milled product at 400 - 600 °C for 3 - 5 h to obtain the Cu / In2O3 metal single atom supported catalyst.

[0035] Replace copper nitrate in the above steps with palladium nitrate to obtain Pd / In2O3, replace copper nitrate with rhodium nitrate to obtain Rh / In2O3, and replace copper nitrate with platinum chloride to obtain Pt / In2O3. Specifically,

[0036] Pd / In2O3 is obtained through the following process: Put palladium nitrate, indium nitrate, and urea into the ball milling tank, then react at a rotation speed of 50 Hz for 2 - 4 h, and then calcine at 400 - 600 °C for 4 - 6 h to obtain Pd / In2O3. Among them, the molar ratio of palladium nitrate, indium nitrate, and urea is (0.00004 - 0.0004):(0.01 - 0.1):(0.01 - 0.1).

[0037] Rh / In2O3 is prepared through the following process: rhodium nitrate, indium nitrate and urea are put into a ball milling tank, and then reacted at a rotation speed of 50 Hz for 2 - 4 h, and then calcined at 400 - 600 °C for 4 - 6 h to obtain Rh / In2O3. Among them, the molar ratio of rhodium nitrate, indium nitrate and urea is (0.00004 - 0.0004):(0.01 - 0.1):(0.01 - 0.1).

[0038] Pt / In2O3 is prepared through the following process: platinum chloride, indium nitrate and urea are put into a ball milling tank, and then reacted at a rotation speed of 50 Hz for 2 - 4 h, and then calcined at 400 - 600 °C for 4 - 6 h to obtain Pt / In2O3. Among them, the molar ratio of platinum chloride, indium nitrate and urea is (0.00002 - 0.0002):(0.01 - 0.1):(0.01 - 0.1).

[0039] 2) Preparation of modified zeolite molecular sieve:

[0040] The SAPO-11 molecular sieve is immersed in a zinc nitrate, gallium nitrate, cerium nitrate or lanthanum nitrate solution with a concentration of 0.0001 - 0.001 mol / L, left standing for 1 - 2 h and then dried, and then calcined at 400 - 600 °C for 3 - 5 h to obtain a modified molecular sieve; among them, the loading amount of zinc, gallium, cerium or lanthanum element is 1% - 3% of the mass of the molecular sieve.

[0041] 3) Mix the metal single-atom supported catalyst and the molecular sieve according to a mass ratio of 3:7 to 7:3, and tablet them to obtain a bifunctional catalyst for the alkylation of syngas and naphthalene to prepare 2-methylnaphthalene or 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene.

[0042] The application of the bifunctional catalyst prepared by the above method in the one-step synthesis of 2-methylnaphthalene / 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene from syngas and naphthalene in a fixed-bed reactor, and the application method is: adding the catalyst into the fixed-bed reactor, and then introducing syngas and naphthalene, reacting at a reaction temperature of 300 - 550 °C and a reaction pressure of 1 - 5 MPa to generate 2-methylnaphthalene or 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene.

[0043] Among them, the volume ratio of carbon monoxide to hydrogen in the syngas is (0.1 - 8):1, and the volume space velocity of the syngas is 1000 - 50000 h -1 ; the mass space velocity of naphthalene is 0.1 - 5 h -1 . The bifunctional catalytic reaction of the bifunctional catalyst for the reaction of syngas and naphthalene to generate 2-methylnaphthalene / 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene is carried out in a fixed-bed reactor.

[0044] Preparation of bifunctional catalyst:

[0045] Select a metal single-atom supported catalyst (such as one of Cu / In2O3, Pd / In2O3, Rh / In2O3, and Pt / In2O3, etc.) and mix it with a modified molecular sieve, and tablet it into 20-40 mesh to obtain a catalyst for the one-step synthesis of 2-methylnaphthalene / 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene from syngas and naphthalene, that is, a "metal single-atom - zeolite" bifunctional catalyst.

[0046] In the present invention, syngas is used as an alkylating agent, which effectively reduces the concentration of methylation intermediates, inhibits side reactions of intermediates, enables in-situ generation and in-situ consumption of methylation intermediates. At the same time, the metal single-atom supported catalyst has a strong interaction between the metal active center and the carrier, and it is not easy to lose the active components. Moreover, the modified zeolite molecular sieve has a milder acidity. These characteristics greatly extend the stability of the catalyst. Therefore, using the methylation reaction of syngas and naphthalene to produce high-value-added chemicals has the advantages of a short process route, high naphthalene conversion rate, high catalyst stability, and high selectivity of target products, and is more economical and efficient.

[0176]

[0177] Through the comparison of Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, it can be seen that the noble metal-loaded catalyst composite SAPO-11 molecular sieve has better catalyst stability than the non-noble metal-loaded catalyst composite SAPO-11 molecular sieve, and is superior to the non-noble metal-loaded catalyst in terms of the conversion rate of naphthalene, the selectivity of 2-methylnaphthalene, and the selectivity of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene. The results show that the Pd / In2O3&SAPO-11 bifunctional catalyst has the best catalytic performance, and the catalyst life is up to 450 h at most. Compared with SAPO-11, the SAPO-11 zeolite molecular sieve modified by Zn and Ga is superior to the parent SAPO-11 molecular sieve in terms of the conversion rate of naphthalene, the selectivity of 2-methylnaphthalene, and the selectivity of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene. The results show that the Ga-modified molecular sieve has the best performance, with the naphthalene conversion rate increased from 51% to 55%, the selectivity of 2-methylnaphthalene increased from 39% to 57%, and the selectivity of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene increased from 17% to 20%. In the Pd / In2O3 single metal atom-loaded catalyst, the isolated metal and the support both serve as active sites for H2 dissociation, thereby increasing the local concentration of active H* species and greatly improving the yield of methanol intermediates. And the single metal atom-loaded catalyst has a strong interaction between the metal active center and the support, and it is not easy to cause the loss of active components. At the same time, the modified Ga-SAPO-11 molecular sieve reduces the total acid amount, and the appropriate L acid (Lewis acid) is beneficial to the desorption of naphthalene and the target product, thereby improving the naphthalene conversion efficiency and increasing the selectivity of the target product. Compared with the parent SAPO-11 molecular sieve, the introduction of heteroatom metals forms medium-strength B acid, which improves the desorption of the target product while enhancing the conversion of naphthalene.

[0178] Compared with Patent CN112657538A, when the synthesis gas is used as the raw material in the present invention, the conversion rate of naphthalene is ensured while the life is greatly improved, from about 100 h originally to 300 - 500 h.

[0179] Compared with Patent CN118950074A, carbon dioxide is difficult to activate, so it is not conducive to the conversion rate of naphthalene, but the catalyst life is longer. The bifunctional catalyst proposed in the present invention improves the conversion rate of naphthalene and the selectivity of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene while ensuring the catalyst life.

[0180] In the present invention, Pd / In2O3&Ga-SAPO-11 obtained by combining Pd / In2O3 prepared by mechanical ball milling method with modified Ga-SAPO-11 exhibits excellent stability, naphthalene conversion rate, and selectivity of 2-methylnaphthalene and 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene in the synthesis gas route.

[0181] In the metal single-atom supported catalyst prepared in the present invention, both the isolated metal and the support are used as active sites for H2 dissociation, thereby increasing the local concentration of active H* species and greatly improving the yield of methanol intermediates. Moreover, the metal single-atom supported catalyst has a strong interaction between the metal active center and the support, and it is not easy for the active components to be lost. Specifically, in the present invention, the metal is incorporated into the lattice of indium oxide in the form of single atoms. This structure has a strong interaction between the metal active center and the support, and it is not easy for the active components to be lost, greatly improving the stability of the catalyst. At the same time, the incorporation of heteroatoms increases the concentration of oxygen vacancies on the surface of indium oxide, enhancing the adsorption and activation ability of CO. At the same time, the interface between the metal single atoms and indium oxide has strong H2 dissociation active sites, increasing the local concentration of active H* species, promoting the transformation of CO species into HCOO* species and OCH3* species, and greatly increasing the concentration of methyl intermediates. Cooperating with a molecular sieve with milder acidity (with a weaker acid strength) can enhance the conversion of naphthalene; at the same time, it inhibits the deep alkylation reaction of the products, effectively improving the selectivity of methylnaphthalene. At the same time, the modified molecular sieve has a more reasonable acid site distribution, which is beneficial to improving the selectivity of 2-methylnaphthalene / 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene.

[0182] The modified Ga-SAPO-11 molecular sieve of the present invention reduces the total acid amount. Appropriate L acid is beneficial to the desorption of naphthalene and the desorption of the target product, thereby improving the naphthalene conversion efficiency and increasing the selectivity of the target product. Compared with the parent SAPO-11 molecular sieve, introducing heteroatom metal medium-strength B acid can improve the desorption of the target product while enhancing the naphthalene conversion. At the same time, the milder acid sites are not prone to coking side reactions, increasing the catalyst stability from 450 h to 500 h.
