Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of alkane aromatization reaction, and particularly relates to a method for alkane aromatization. Background Art

[0002] The naphtha reforming process is the main way to produce aromatics. However, for traditional bifunctional reforming catalysts, whether it is a platinum-rhenium-based catalyst or a platinum-tin-based catalyst, the activity and selectivity for the dehydrogenation cyclization aromatization reaction of C6-C7 alkanes in naphtha are relatively poor.

[0003] The Pt / KL catalyst has excellent aromatization performance for C6-C7 alkanes, and its activity and aromatics selectivity are much higher than those of platinum-rhenium-based and platinum-tin-based reforming catalysts. The Aromax process of Chevron Corporation and the RZ-100 process of UOP Company are alkane aromatization processes developed based on this catalyst and have been successfully applied industrially. The Pt / KL catalyst is a monofunctional catalyst, and its catalytic mechanism is completely different from that of bifunctional catalysts. Alkanes are adsorbed and closed-loop at the metal center of the catalyst, and then dehydrogenated and aromatized to produce aromatics. The acidic centers of the catalyst support cause side reactions such as cracking and carbon deposition, which will reduce the activity and selectivity of the catalyst. The KL molecular sieve generally contains about 10% of element K, and the presence of K makes the support alkaline. Due to the alkalinity of the KL molecular sieve, the hydrocracking performance of the Pt / KL catalyst is significantly inhibited, the isomerization ability is weakened, and the cyclization dehydrogenation function is greatly enhanced.

[0004] At present, the optimization of the alkane aromatization reaction system catalyzed by Pt / KL mainly focuses on the improvement of the catalyst, such as bimetallic and halogen modification, etc. However, these improvement measures have limited improvement in the alkane aromatization reaction performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the problems of low conversion rate of raw material alkanes and unsatisfactory selectivity of aromatic hydrocarbon products in the existing alkane aromatization process, the present invention provides a method for alkane aromatization.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for alkane aromatization, the method comprising: Performing an aromatization reaction on an alkane in the presence of an alkane aromatization catalyst and a diluent to obtain an aromatic hydrocarbon product; wherein the diluent is the KL molecular sieve after shaping treatment and / or the modified molecular sieve obtained by modifying the KL molecular sieve after shaping treatment with a Group IIA metal; The volume ratio of the alkane aromatization catalyst to the diluent is (1-10):1.

[0007] The method for alkane aromatization provided by the present invention can effectively improve the alkane conversion rate, the selectivity of aromatic hydrocarbon products and the hydrogen production rate in the alkane aromatization reaction (especially for n-hexane) by carrying out the alkane aromatization reaction in the coexistence of an alkane aromatization catalyst and a specific diluent, changing the distribution of reactants and / or products at the microscale. The alkane conversion rate can be ≥90%, while the selectivity of aromatic hydrocarbon products can be ≥80% and the hydrogen production rate can be ≥5%. Description of the Drawings
