Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of coal / petrochemical industry, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a naphtha catalytic reforming catalyst and application thereof. Technical Background

[0002] Producing organic liquid feedstocks from non-petroleum-based (biomass, coal) carbon-containing resources is an effective means of addressing the shortage of domestic petroleum resources. Indirect coal liquefaction technology converts the syngas from gasified carbon-containing resources into petrochemical products such as gasoline and diesel. However, this product contains a large amount of low-octane linear alkanes, which seriously affect gasoline quality. Alkane aromatization technology, which converts linear alkanes into aromatics with higher added value and octane numbers, is of great significance for improving gasoline quality and optimizing the product mix of coal-to-liquids. Consequently, this technology has attracted widespread attention in both industry and academia.

[0003] As the core of catalytic reforming technology, catalysts are the key to influencing reaction activity and product distribution. Bimetallic or multimetallic catalysts composed of alumina-supported Pt and additives (Sn, Ir, Re, etc.) have received widespread attention in crude oil naphtha processing. However, for Fischer-Tropsch naphtha with a high content of straight-chain alkanes, commercial Pt / Al2O3 catalysts are prone to side reactions such as cracking and isomerization, resulting in low selectivity for aromatic products. Han (Applied Catalysis A:General, Ce-introduced effects on modification of acidity and Pt electronic states on Pt-Sn / γ-Al2O3 catalysts for catalytic reforming, 2021, 617, 118116-118128) used C7 alkanes as reaction raw materials and conducted research on Pt / Al2O3 catalysts. It was found that its selectivity for small molecule alkanes was as high as 40%, while the selectivity for aromatics was only 31.7%.

[0004] Compared to traditional Pt / Al2O3 catalysts, monofunctional Pt / KL catalysts exhibit superior catalytic performance in the aromatization of medium- and long-chain (C6-C7) alkanes. CN115212918A discloses the preparation and application of a Zn-regulated KL molecular sieve-supported Pt catalyst. The Pt / ZnKL catalyst obtained in this patent achieves aromatics selectivity of up to 90% in the aromatization of n-heptane. CN101746774A discloses a method for synthesizing Sn-containing KL molecular sieves. After loading Pt, the catalyst exhibits superior aromatics selectivity and stability in the aromatization of n-hexane. However, Kyungho et al. (Journal of Catalysis, Hierarchically micro- / mesoporous Pt / KL for alkane aromatization: Synergistic combination of high catalytic activity and suppressed hydrogenolysis, 2016, 340, 66-75) found that the alkane aromatization performance of Pt / KL is related to the molecular size of the alkane. It has excellent performance in the aromatization of C6 and C7 alkanes, but when C8 alkane is used as the reaction raw material, the aromatic selectivity (≤60%) and stability of the Pt / KL catalyst are greatly reduced.

[0005] Compared with Pt / KL catalysts, Rangel (Applied Catalysis A: General, Ethylbenzene production over platinum catalysts supported on modified KY zeolites, 2010, 386, 201-210) and Liu (Catalysis Today, Preparation, characterization and naphthaaromatization performance of the catalytic reforming catalyst Pt / MY (M = Mg, Baor Ce), 2020, 353, 146-152) and other research groups pointed out that Pt-based catalysts supported on alkaline earth metal-modified Y molecular sieves can achieve aromatic selectivity of more than 80% in the aromatization of medium and long-chain alkanes, especially C8 alkanes. However, the acidic sites on the surface of the Y molecular sieve of Rangel and Liu's Pt-based catalysts lead to a wide variety of C8 aromatics, and the contents of ethylbenzene, m-xylene and o-xylene in the obtained C8 aromatics are all high (the ratio is about 1:1:1), which increases the difficulty of separating the desired products (such as ethylbenzene and o-xylene). In addition, the Pt-based catalysts of Rangel and Liu have poor stability, and the reduction rate of raw material conversion after 4 hours of operation is as high as 25%. CN114956115A discloses a metal-modified Y-type molecular sieve and a preparation method thereof. The patent mentions that by metal-modifying the Y molecular sieve, some acid centers can be eliminated to reduce the adverse effects of carbon deposition on the reaction, thereby improving the stability of the Y-type molecular sieve in various reactions. However, the catalyst prepared by the method of the patent is mainly suitable for catalytic cracking and alkylation, and is difficult to be applied to the aromatization reaction of medium and long-chain straight-chain alkanes (especially C8 alkanes).

[0006] Considering that medium- and long-chain linear alkanes are important components of Fischer-Tropsch naphtha, it is urgent to develop a catalytic system suitable for the aromatization of medium- and long-chain linear alkanes. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a naphtha catalytic reforming catalyst and its application. The present invention uses a non-acidic molecular sieve as a carrier, optimizes the Pt loading method and adjusts the catalyst reduction conditions to prepare a Pt-based catalyst. The prepared Pt-based catalyst has a high activity in C6-C 10 It exhibits excellent reactivity and aromatic selectivity in the aromatization of alkanes (preferably C8 alkanes).

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a naphtha catalytic reforming catalyst, the method comprising the following steps:

[0009] (1) Modifying the Y molecular sieve with an alkali metal alcohol solution or an alkaline earth metal alcohol solution to obtain an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal modified non-acidic Y molecular sieve;

[0010] (2) placing the molecular sieve prepared in step (1) in a mixture of SnCl4 and acetone, stirring, drying and calcining to obtain a Sn-modified non-acidic Y molecular sieve;

[0011] (3) After the Sn-modified non-acidic Y molecular sieve prepared in step (2) is loaded with Pt using a Pt source, a reduction treatment is performed to obtain a Pt-based catalyst with uniformly distributed Pt particles.

[0012] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a Pt-based catalyst obtained by the preparation method described in the first aspect.

[0013] In a third aspect, the present invention provides use of the Pt-based catalyst described above in catalytic reforming of naphtha.

[0014] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a method for catalytic reforming of naphtha, comprising catalytically reforming naphtha using the Pt-based catalyst described above.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] 1. The preparation method of the non-acidic molecular sieve provided by the present invention is simple to operate, takes a short time, and can adjust the acidity of the molecular sieve by changing the concentration of the alkaline alcohol solution.

[0017] 2. The Pt-based catalyst provided by the present invention exhibits excellent aromatization performance in the aromatization of medium and long-chain alkanes and has certain industrial application value.

[0018] 3. The Pt-based catalysts in the prior art (such as the Pt-based catalysts reported by Rangel and Liu et al.) produce a wide variety of C8 aromatics when catalyzing the aromatization of medium- and long-chain alkanes, and the separation of desired products (such as ethylbenzene and o-xylene) is difficult. However, due to the absence of acidic sites in the Pt-based catalysts of the present invention, the C8 aromatics obtained when catalyzing the aromatization of medium- and long-chain alkanes are mainly ethylbenzene and o-xylene, and the total proportion of the two in the C8 aromatics can reach more than 95%, and the ratio is about 1:1, with excellent distribution of C8 aromatics.

[0019] 4. The stability of the Pt-based catalysts in the prior art is poor. For example, the Pt-based catalyst reported by Rangel and Liu et al. operated for 250 minutes and the raw material conversion rate dropped from 100% to 75%; while the Pt-based catalyst of the present invention can operate stably for more than 12 hours.
