Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photocatalysis. More specifically, it relates to a platinum-lead alloy catalyst and its preparation method and application. Background Art

[0002] Propylene is an important chemical raw material and has a wide range of uses in the global chemical industry. Starting from propylene, a variety of chemical products such as polypropylene, acrylonitrile, and propylene oxide can be produced, and its demand has been increasing year by year. In recent decades, the discovery and exploitation of shale gas have attracted wide attention to the production of propylene by propane dehydrogenation. The rate-determining step of the propane dehydrogenation reaction is the activation dissociation of the propane C-H bond. Since the propane C-H bond energy is 401.3 kJ·mol -1 , a large amount of energy is required to drive its dissociation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a catalyst that can drive the activation dissociation of the propane C-H bond under mild conditions and can efficiently catalyze the propane dehydrogenation reaction to produce propylene. Photocatalysis is a "zero-energy consumption" technology, that is, the semiconductor photocatalyst is photoexcited to generate photogenerated electrons and photogenerated holes to drive the reduction end and oxidation end of the chemical reaction respectively. Recently, platinum-based photocatalysts have been used in a series of alkane conversion processes including propane dehydrogenation, achieving efficient activation of the C-H bond in alkanes or alkyl groups and high selectivity of products under mild conditions, thus proving that semiconductor-supported platinum species can efficiently drive the photocatalytic activation dissociation of alkane C-H bonds. However, the catalytic performance of the existing platinum-based photocatalytic propane dehydrogenation catalysts is generally low, and the propylene production rate does not exceed 1 mmol g -1 h -1 , so there is an urgent need to modify the existing platinum-based photocatalytic propane dehydrogenation catalysts to improve the propylene production performance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a platinum-lead alloy catalyst and its preparation method and application. When the platinum-lead alloy catalyst is used in the process of photocatalytic propane dehydrogenation to produce propylene, it has an efficient catalytic effect, and the photocatalytic reaction has a high production rate (1 mmol g -1 h -1 or more, preferably 5 mmol g -1 h -1 or more) and selectivity of the product propylene.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] On the one hand, the present invention provides a platinum-lead alloy catalyst, and the chemical formula of the platinum-lead alloy catalyst is PtPb / ZnO. In the structure of the platinum-lead alloy catalyst, the active substance platinum-lead alloy is dispersed on the surface of the carrier zinc oxide.

[0006] Further, in the structure of the platinum-lead alloy catalyst, the platinum-lead alloy is dispersedly combined on the surface of the zinc oxide through chemical bonds.

[0007] Further, the mass ratio of the platinum-lead alloy to zinc oxide is 1-2%.

[0008] In the platinum-lead alloy catalyst, the carrier is selected as ZnO and the active ingredient is the platinum-lead alloy, which can endow the photocatalytic dehydrogenation of propane to prepare propylene with activity and propylene selectivity superior to other carriers.

[0009] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a preparation method of the platinum-lead alloy catalyst as described in the first aspect above. The preparation method includes the following steps:

[0010] Dissolve zinc salt and lead salt in deionized water to obtain solution A;

[0011] Dissolve sodium carbonate in deionized water to obtain solution B;

[0012] Dropwise mix solution A and solution B while controlling the pH to be 8.0-8.5 to obtain a crude product;

[0013] Wash and freeze-dry the crude product to obtain a precursor material;

[0014] In an air atmosphere, heat the precursor material and maintain it at this temperature, and then cool it to room temperature to obtain lead-modified zinc oxide;

[0015] Uniformly disperse the lead-modified zinc oxide and chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate in deionized water and stir to obtain an impregnated crude product;

[0016] Centrifuge and dry the impregnated crude product to obtain a platinum-impregnated product;

[0017] In a hydrogen-argon mixed atmosphere, heat the platinum-impregnated product and then cool it to room temperature to obtain the platinum-lead alloy catalyst.

[0018] In the above preparation method, in solution B, the role of sodium carbonate is to provide carbonate ions for the subsequent coprecipitation of Zn 2+ and Pb 2+ to prepare the crude product.

[0019] In the research process of the present invention, it is found that compared with other platinum precursors, chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate is suitable for introducing Pt by aqueous phase impregnation. As a platinum precursor, it can endow the obtained platinum-lead alloy catalyst with excellent catalytic effect for photocatalytic dehydrogenation of propane to prepare propylene. Common platinum precursors also include sodium chloroplatinate and platinum acetylacetonate. However, sodium chloroplatinate contains sodium ions, and the sodium ions may be adsorbed on the surface of the product and are not easy to remove after impregnation, affecting the subsequent catalytic performance; platinum acetylacetonate is insoluble in water, so it is only used as a precursor of Pt in organic phase synthesis.

[0020] Further, in the process of preparing lead-modified zinc oxide, the conditions for heating the precursor material and holding the temperature are as follows: heating at a rate of 5 - 6 °C·min -1 to 400 - 410 °C (preferably 400 °C) and holding at this temperature for 2 - 2.5 h.

[0021] Further, the conditions for heating the platinum-impregnated product are as follows: heating at a rate of 5 - 6 °C·min -1 to 300 - 500 °C and holding at this temperature for 2 - 2.5 h.

[0022] Further, the temperature after heating the platinum-impregnated product is 400 - 500 °C. Under this condition, the platinum-lead alloy catalyst has a more efficient catalytic effect for photocatalytic dehydrogenation of propane to prepare propylene, and the production rate of the product propylene in this photocatalytic reaction can reach 3 mmol g -1 h -1 or more.

[0023] Furthermore, the temperature after heating the platinum-impregnated product is 500 °C. Under this condition, the platinum-lead alloy catalyst has a more efficient catalytic effect for photocatalytic dehydrogenation of propane to prepare propylene, and the production rate of the product propylene in this photocatalytic reaction can reach 5 mmol g -1 h -1 or more.

[0024] Further, in the hydrogen-argon mixed atmosphere, the volume ratio of hydrogen to argon is 1:(9 - 10).

[0025] By controlling the heating reaction in the hydrogen-argon mixed atmosphere, it is possible to reduce Pt in chloroplatinic acid and Pb introduced by precipitation with hydrogen at high temperature and carry out the alloying process of Pt and Pb.

[0026] Further, in the solution A, the concentration of the zinc salt is 1.2 - 1.6 mol·L -1 , and the concentration of the lead salt is 2.6 - 3.0 mmol·L -1 . By controlling the concentration and relative dosage of each salt in the solution A, excellent activity and propylene selectivity for photocatalytic dehydrogenation of propane to prepare propylene can be imparted.

[0027] Further, the zinc salt is selected from zinc nitrate, and the lead salt is selected from lead nitrate.

[0028] Further, in the solution B, the concentration of sodium carbonate is 0.6 - 1.0 mol·L -1 .

[0029] Further, the volume ratio of the solution A to the solution B is (15 - 16):(45 - 55).

[0030] Furthermore, the temperature of the lyophilization is -50 to -47 °C, the pressure is 5 to 10 Pa, and the time is 24 to 48 h, preferably 24 h.

[0031] Furthermore, the chemical formula of the precursor material is Pb x Zn5(OH) 6+2x (CO3)2, where 0.009 ≤ x ≤ 0.011.

[0032] Furthermore, the molar ratio of zinc, lead in the lead-modified zinc oxide to chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate is (18 - 24):(0.039 - 0.045):(0.078 - 0.090).

[0033] Furthermore, the temperature of the drying is 60 to 70 °C, the time is 24 to 48 h, preferably 24 h.

[0034] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, the salts and precipitants used are all of analytical purity.

[0035] In the third aspect, the present invention provides the application of the platinum-lead alloy catalyst as described in the first aspect above in the photocatalytic dehydrogenation of propane to prepare propylene.

[0036] Furthermore, the application includes the following steps:

[0037] Under the protection of an inert gas, propane is introduced into a closed reaction kettle with a light-transmitting quartz glass window added with a platinum-lead alloy catalyst, and the reaction is carried out under light irradiation conditions.

[0038] In the above application, the functions of the light-transmitting quartz glass window include: as a light-transmitting component, the light of the light source passes through the quartz glass window and shines on the surface of the platinum-lead alloy catalyst to drive the photocatalytic dehydrogenation reaction of propane.

[0039] Furthermore, the volume ratio of propane to the inert gas is 5:95.

[0040] Furthermore, the inert gas is argon.

[0041] Furthermore, the gas pressure in the reaction kettle is 0.1 to 0.121 MPa.

[0042] Furthermore, the light source of the light irradiation is ultraviolet light, preferably ultraviolet light of 365 nm.

[0043] Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials used in the present invention can be obtained through commercial purchase, and any range described in the present invention includes the end values and any numerical values between the end values, as well as any sub-range constituted by any numerical value between the end values or the end values.

[0044] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0045] The platinum-lead alloy catalyst provided by the present invention is used in the catalytic preparation of propylene from propane, realizing the use of the platinum-lead alloy catalyst in the photocatalytic dehydrogenation of propane to prepare propylene, and the propylene production rate reaches 5 mmol g -1 h -1 level, and has high selectivity. The platinum-lead alloy catalyst of the present invention is expected to be applied to industrial production.

[0046] The preparation method of the platinum-lead alloy catalyst of the present invention is simple and the process is simple, which is easy for large-scale production. In this preparation method, a platinum-lead alloy is formed by equal-volume impregnation and high-temperature reduction annealing. In this preparation method, the activity of the obtained platinum-lead alloy catalyst in the photocatalytic dehydrogenation of propane to prepare propylene can be further optimized by controlling the amount of lead salt added when preparing the precursor material.

[0059] 2) Prepare the precursor material of the catalyst by coprecipitation method: Slowly add the mixed metal salt solution and the sodium carbonate solution prepared in step 1 drop by drop into a round-bottom flask containing 100 mL of deionized water. After controlling the pH to 8.5, continue adding until the mixed metal salt solution is completely added to obtain a crude product.

[0060] 3) Wash the crude product obtained in step 2 three times with deionized water, and then dry it in a freeze dryer at a temperature of -50 °C and a pressure of 5-10 Pa for 24 h to obtain the precursor material.

[0061] 4) Take the precursor material obtained in step 3, and in an air atmosphere, heat it at a heating rate of 5 °C·min -1 to 400 °C, hold for 2 h, and then naturally cool to room temperature to obtain lead-modified zinc oxide.

[0063] 6) Centrifuge the impregnated crude product obtained in step 5, and then dry it in an oven at 60 °C for 24 h to obtain the platinum-impregnated product.

[0064] 7) Heat the platinum-impregnated product obtained in step 6 in a hydrogen-argon mixed atmosphere (10% H2, v / v) at a heating rate of 5 °C·min -1 to 500 °C, hold for 2 h, and then naturally cool to room temperature to obtain the platinum-lead alloy catalyst for photocatalytic propane dehydrogenation to prepare propylene, denoted as PtPb / ZnO-500.

[0065] Apply the platinum-lead alloy catalyst prepared by the above method to photocatalytic propane dehydrogenation to prepare propylene, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0066] In a sealed reactor with a volume of 56 mL and a light-transmitting quartz glass window, 5 mg of a platinum-lead alloy catalyst was added, and a certain proportion of propane (the volume ratio of propane to argon was 5:95) was introduced. The pressure inside the container was 0.121 MPa, and the reaction was carried out under 365 nm ultraviolet light for 1 h. The products were detected by gas chromatography.
