Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for regenerating a supported metal catalyst. Background Art

[0002] Supported metal catalysts are widely used in various fields, including chemical engineering and energy, such as hydrogenation and oxidation reactions. However, during catalyst use, reactants and their intermediates undergo polymerization and cyclization reactions on the catalyst surface, forming carbon deposits. This carbon deposit covers the catalyst's active centers, hindering contact between reactants and the active centers. This leads to decreased catalyst activity and selectivity, significantly impacting the efficiency of the catalytic reaction and the catalyst's service life.

[0003] Currently, commonly used catalyst regeneration methods include thermal regeneration and chemical solvent cleaning. Thermal regeneration involves burning carbon deposits at high temperatures to convert them into carbon dioxide. However, high temperatures can easily cause agglomeration and sintering of the catalyst's active components, as well as changes in the support structure, reducing catalyst performance. While chemical solvent cleaning can remove carbon deposits to a certain extent, the cleaning process is complex, and the chemical solvents can damage the catalyst's active components and support. Furthermore, there are issues with solvent recovery and environmental pollution. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient, gentle, and environmentally friendly method for regenerating supported metal catalysts. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for regenerating a supported metal catalyst. By using UV-O3 combined technology, the carbon deposits on the surface of the supported metal catalyst are converted into carbon dioxide under mild conditions, effectively solving the carbon deposition problem, restoring the activity and selectivity of the catalyst, and avoiding the many disadvantages of traditional regeneration methods.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is described in detail below.

[0006] The present invention provides a method for regenerating a supported metal catalyst, which comprises the following steps:

[0007] 1) Catalyst pretreatment: The supported metal catalyst to be regenerated is washed with water to remove impurities (such as dust) attached to its surface, and then placed in a reaction vessel after drying;

[0008] 2) UV-O3 treatment: ozone (O3) is introduced into the reaction vessel, and an ultraviolet (UV) irradiation device is turned on to irradiate the supported metal catalyst to be regenerated, and the UV-O3 combined treatment is carried out at room temperature and pressure;

[0009] 3) washing the catalyst treated in step 2) again to remove residual ozone and reaction by-products on the surface;

[0010] 4) The catalyst obtained in step 3) is dried in an oven to obtain a regenerated supported metal catalyst.

[0011] Furthermore, the drying temperature in step 1) is 60-120° C. and the drying time is 3-10 hours.

[0012] Furthermore, in step 2), ozone (O3) is introduced into the reaction vessel at a flow rate of 5 to 8 L / min to make the ozone concentration in the reaction vessel reach 100 to 120 mg / m 3 Then, the ultraviolet (UV) irradiation device is turned on to irradiate the supported metal catalyst to be regenerated. The ultraviolet wavelength is 100-280nm and the irradiation intensity is 100-200w / m 2 , the irradiation time is 1-5 hours.

[0013] Furthermore, in step 4), the drying temperature is 60-100° C. and the drying time is 5-8 hours.

[0014] The supported metal catalyst of the present invention comprises a support and a metal active center, wherein the metal active center can be at least one of palladium, platinum, ruthenium, rhodium, and copper, and the support can be at least one of aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, silicon oxide, activated carbon, titanium dioxide, and titanium nitride. The metal loading (based on the support) of the supported metal catalyst is generally 0.01 wt% to 10 wt%.

[0015] The supported metal catalyst of the present invention can be a commercially available product, or can be prepared according to methods reported in the literature, such as by an impregnation method. As an implementation method, the specific preparation steps of the supported metal catalyst are as follows:

[0016] 1) preparing a metal salt solution of a certain concentration according to the active component content of the desired catalyst, and immersing the selected support in the solution to obtain a mixture;

[0017] 2) keeping the mixture in step 1) at room temperature for 10 to 12 hours to allow the metal salt to be fully adsorbed on the surface of the support;

[0018] 3) drying the impregnated support in step 2) in an oven at 80°C to 200°C for 8 to 12 hours;

[0019] 4) calcining the dried sample in step 3) in a muffle furnace at 300-900° C. for 1-5 hours;

[0020] 5) Finally, reduction is carried out at 200-400° C. for 1-4 h under a hydrogen atmosphere to obtain a supported metal catalyst.

[0021] The supported metal catalyst of the present invention can be applied to reactions such as the selective hydrogenation of acetylenic compounds (such as acetylene, propyne, etc.) and the hydrogenation of olefinic compounds (such as ethylene, vinyl chloride, etc.).

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

[0023] 1. Efficient removal of carbon deposits: The present invention adopts UV-O3 combined technology, using the strong oxidizing active species generated by ozone under ultraviolet irradiation to quickly and effectively oxidize the carbon deposits on the catalyst surface into carbon dioxide. The carbon deposit removal rate is high, which can significantly restore the active center of the catalyst and improve the activity and selectivity of the catalyst.

[0024] 2. Mild operation: The entire regeneration process is carried out at room temperature and pressure, avoiding the damage of high temperature to the active components of the catalyst and the carrier structure, preventing problems such as agglomeration and sintering of the active components and deformation of the carrier, which is conducive to maintaining the original performance and structural stability of the catalyst.

[0025] 3. Green and environmentally friendly: This regeneration method does not use chemical solvents, reducing the consumption of chemical reagents and pollution to the environment. At the same time, ozone will decompose into oxygen after the reaction, without secondary pollution, which meets the development requirements of green chemistry.

[0026] 4. Wide range of applications: It is suitable for the regeneration of supported metal catalysts whose active centers are palladium, platinum, ruthenium, rhodium, copper, and whose carriers are various combinations of alumina, aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, silicon oxide, activated carbon, titanium dioxide, titanium nitride, etc. It has broad application prospects.
