Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of catalysts, and in particular relates to a propane dehydrogenation catalyst, and a preparation method and application of the propane dehydrogenation catalyst. Background Art
[0002] As a core raw material in the modern chemical industry chain, propylene is used in nearly every major industrial sector. Propylene is not only used to produce polymer materials such as polypropylene, acrylonitrile, and propylene oxide, but is also widely used in the petrochemical and fine chemical sectors, including acrylic acid and esters. As a fundamental raw material for the manufacture of the "three major synthetic materials" of plastics, rubber, and fibers, propylene production is a key indicator of a country's chemical industry capabilities. Industrially, propylene is primarily derived from catalytic cracking reactions in petroleum refining, as well as from the cracking of naphtha and light diesel. Direct propane dehydrogenation to propylene is a key non-petroleum-based approach to expanding propylene sources. Compared to traditional propane oxidative dehydrogenation, direct propane dehydrogenation technology not only improves overall yields but also reduces equipment investment costs, demonstrating broad application prospects. Currently, the majority of existing propane dehydrogenation units utilize UOP's Oleflex process, using a PtSn / Al2O3 catalyst. This process is highly sought after for its high efficiency and stability, providing a reliable solution for propylene production.
[0003] With the rapid and sustained growth in demand for propylene in both domestic and international markets, the design and preparation of high-performance Pt-based catalysts plays a vital role in the industrial production of propylene. Currently, although single Pt catalysts exhibit high activity in dehydrogenation reactions, they are prone to hydrogenolysis side reactions in actual applications, resulting in poor propylene selectivity and an inability to meet the needs of industrial production. Furthermore, while pursuing high activity, excessive Pt loading not only exacerbates the catalyst's carbon deposition problem but also reduces its stability, which has become a core problem restricting the large-scale industrial application of propane dehydrogenation processes. Therefore, the development of new Pt-based catalysts that achieve low Pt loading, high dispersion, and excellent selectivity and stability has become a key technical issue that the industry urgently needs to address. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above situation, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a propane dehydrogenation catalyst, its preparation method and application, by adjusting the acidity and alkalinity, specific surface area, pore structure of the catalyst support, and the metal-support interaction, optimizing the structural characteristics of the metal Pt site, and introducing an additive (such as Sn) to achieve improved activity and stability of the propane dehydrogenation catalyst.
[0005] A first aspect of the present invention provides a propane dehydrogenation catalyst, which comprises a support and Pt clusters and K supported on the support, wherein the support is a Sn-restricted alumina support.
[0006] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned propane dehydrogenation catalyst, the preparation method comprising the following steps: 1) Alumina is modified with acid to construct an alumina support rich in Al defect sites; 2) Precipitate Sn on an alumina support using a composite alkali to obtain a Sn-restricted alumina support; 3) The Pt precursor solution was loaded onto a Sn-restricted alumina support by an impregnation method and then calcined in air to obtain a catalyst precursor; 4) The catalyst precursor is subjected to reduction treatment and chlorination treatment in sequence to obtain a catalyst.
[0007] The third aspect of the present invention provides the use of the above catalyst in the dehydrogenation of propane to propylene.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention discloses for the first time a novel catalyst system based on the synergistic effect of lattice confinement and a metal support. Its core consists of two components: 1) the preparation of an ultra-uniform Sn lattice-confined alumina support, in which atomically dispersed Sn species are stably embedded on the alumina support surface through a lattice anchoring effect. 2) Utilizing the strong Pt-Sn interaction formed during topological transformation, the controllable preparation of uniform, highly dispersed, and highly stable Pt clusters is achieved. The innovative design of this catalyst results in high performance, exhibiting high activity, high propylene selectivity, and high stability in propane dehydrogenation reactions. Furthermore, its controllable synthesis facilitates its industrial application.
[0009] 2) The catalyst of the present invention maintains excellent performance in the propane dehydrogenation reaction while controlling the Pt loading at an ultra-low level of 0.24wt%. This not only significantly reduces the cost of precious metal use, but also fundamentally solves industry problems such as increased carbon deposition and decreased stability caused by excessive Pt loading, providing a solution for the greener and more economical upgrade of the propane dehydrogenation process.

[0021] Preferably, step 1) comprises: soaking the aluminum oxide in acid and shaking for 0.5-5 hours.
[0022] The alumina in the present invention can be selected from various specifications of alumina commonly used in the art, and can be selected according to actual needs, such as alumina balls with 20-40 mesh.
[0023] According to the present invention, in step 2), the composite base comprises urea and a potassium compound. The potassium compound may be selected from at least one of potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, potassium acetate, potassium nitrate, potassium sulfate, potassium chloride, potassium oxalate, and potassium sulfate, and is preferably at least one of potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, potassium acetate, and potassium nitrate. The concentration of the urea may be 1.0-5.0 mol / L, and the concentration of the potassium compound may be 0.01-0.5 mol / L.
[0024] Preferably, step 2) comprises: impregnating the alumina support with a Sn precursor solution, shaking for 0.5-5 hours, drying, then soaking in a composite alkali solution, heating to 80-100°C for 8-15 hours to complete precipitation, followed by drying and air calcination.

The Sn precursor solution can be a hydrochloric acid solution of SnCl4·4H2O, and its concentration can be 0.1 mol / L.
[0025] In step 3) of the present invention, the impregnation method is an incipient wetness impregnation method, specifically comprising: impregnating the Pt precursor solution and the Sn-restricted alumina support in equal volumes, shaking for 0.5-5 hours, such as 1 hour, to achieve uniform mixing, and then drying at 90-130°C for 1-5 hours, such as 120°C for 2 hours. The air calcination temperature is 500-800°C for 1-5 hours. The Pt precursor solution can be an H2PtCl6·6H2O solution, and its concentration can be 0.010 mol / L.
[0026] According to the present invention, in step 4), the reduction treatment conditions include: reduction at 400-800°C in a H2 atmosphere for 1-4 hours, preferably at 530°C, and preferably for 2 hours.

[0028] The present invention utilizes the aforementioned method of first modifying the support with a composite acid and then introducing the additives Sn and K with a composite base, followed by Pt loading, to produce a dehydrogenation catalyst with excellent performance. Sn is first anchored on a defect-rich alumina support, and then, through the strong interaction between Pt and Sn, a catalyst structure consisting of a single layer of highly dispersed Pt clusters is formed. The advantages of this design are reflected in the following aspects: Precise Control of Support Structure: Composite acid treatment modifies the alumina support to form a defect-rich alumina support. Composite alkali treatment precipitates Sn and evenly disperses it on the alumina support, while the addition of a K promoter enhances catalyst activity. The defect-rich alumina support anchors Sn through surface defect sites, achieving ultra-uniform, lattice-confined Sn loading, preventing Sn agglomeration and providing a stable support structure for subsequent Pt loading.
[0029] The performance advantages of single-layer highly dispersed Pt clusters: In the structural design of single-layer Pt clusters, the Pt atoms are fully exposed. This structure not only significantly improves the utilization of Pt atoms, but also greatly enhances the activity of the catalyst. The highly dispersed Pt clusters reduce the electronic interactions between Pt and Pt, while providing more active sites for reactant molecules, thereby improving the efficiency of the dehydrogenation reaction.
[0030] Enhanced stability due to strong Pt-Sn interactions: The uniform distribution of Sn on the alumina support surface modulates the electronic state of Pt through electronic effects. The strong interaction between Sn and Pt promotes uniform dispersion of Pt clusters and strengthens the bond between Pt and the support, significantly improving catalyst stability. During the reaction, the structural stability of the Pt clusters is maintained, thus preventing the decrease in activity caused by Pt agglomeration.
[0031] The catalyst structure of the present invention allows full exposure of Pt atoms, thereby improving atomic utilization and being more conducive to enhancing dehydrogenation activity.
[0032] According to a third aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides use of the above catalyst in the dehydrogenation of propane to propylene.
[0033] In the present invention, the reaction of propane dehydrogenation to propylene can adopt conventional materials and conditions in the prior art. For example, the catalyst loading amount is 0.6-6g, preferably 3g; the reaction feed contains propane, hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide, and the volume space velocity of propane is 10-2000h -1 , preferably 1000h -1 , the volume space velocity of hydrogen is 10-1000h -1 , preferably 500h -1 The volume space velocity of hydrogen containing 0.2% volume fraction of hydrogen sulfide is 1-100h -1 , preferably 60h -1 ; The reaction temperature is 550-650°C, preferably 610°C, and the reaction time is 5-24h, preferably 12h.

[0101] Table 1 As can be seen from Table 1, the catalyst of the present invention has higher propane conversion, propylene selectivity and stability compared with the comparative example. From the root cause of the performance improvement, this is mainly due to the precise control of the support surface structure by the treatment with composite acid and composite base, and the synergistic optimization of the strong Pt-Sn interaction. Specifically, the present invention successfully achieved the preparation of ultra-uniform Sn lattice-restricted alumina by constructing Al defect sites on the support surface. By utilizing the strong Pt-Sn interaction formed during the topological transformation, uniform, highly dispersed, and low-loaded Pt clusters were prepared. This design has multiple advantages: First, the alumina support after composite acid treatment has more Al defect sites, thereby enhancing the support's ability to anchor metals or additives. Second, while the composite base precipitates Sn, the additive K is introduced, and Sn is uniformly distributed on the support, achieving ultra-uniform lattice-restricted Sn loading; third, the strong Pt-Sn interaction helps stabilize the structure of the Pt cluster, giving the catalyst better stability; fourth, the lattice matching and electronic interaction between Sn and the Al support also further optimize the performance of the catalyst. This multi-level regulation strategy not only achieves efficient catalysis at a lower Pt loading, but also provides a feasible way to reduce the use of precious metals and improve the economic efficiency of industrial applications.
