Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Low-carbon alcohols have high octane values, and can be combusted fully and efficiently, and can effectively reduce the emission of CO, CO2 and nitrogen oxides. After separation, low-carbon alcohols can obtain single alcohols such as ethanol, propanol and butanol. These alcohols are important chemical raw materials, and can be used to prepare various chemicals and also used as general chemical solvents.

[0003] The synthesis methods of low-carbon alcohols mainly include a catalytic conversion method of synthesis gas, a catalytic hydration method of low-carbon olefins and a coke oven gas synthesis method.

At the same time, too many by-products are produced, which leads to increased difficulty in subsequent separation and purification. In addition, some catalysts are prone to deactivation during the reaction process. For example, Cu-based catalysts may have Cu species sintering phenomenon, which affects the service life of the catalysts and requires frequent replacement of the catalysts, which is not conducive to industrial continuous production.

[0086] Comparative Example 1

[0087] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that no rare earth metal salt and transition metal salt is added in S1, and no organic phosphine is added in S2.

[0088] Comparative Example 2

[0089] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that no rare earth metal salt and transition metal salt is added in S1, and no layered sulfide is added in S3.

[0090] The Cu-based catalyst for synthesizing low-carbon alcohols (hereinafter referred to as "catalyst") prepared in the above examples was tested.

[0091] A fixed bed reactor was used, 1g of the catalyst was packed in the middle of the reaction tank, and synthesis gas was used as the raw material (H2 / CO / CO2=60 / 30 / 10, volume ratio), the gas flow was 50mL / min, the reaction pressure was 3MPa, and the reaction temperature was 260℃. After 8h of stable reaction, the product composition was analyzed by gas chromatography, TCD detector was used to detect H2, CO and other permanent gases, and FID detector was used to detect low-carbon alcohols (C1~C5 alcohols) and hydrocarbon byproducts.

[0092] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0093] Table 1

[0094]

[0095] wherein C 2+ Alcohol refers to an alcohol containing 2 or more carbon atoms.

[0096] From Table 1, the performance of Example 1 is better. The carrier of the silicon-magnesium soil is modified by the rare earth metal salt lanthanum nitrate and the transition metal salt manganese nitrate, La 3+ enhances the CO adsorption capacity, Mn 2+ adjusts the distribution of the acid sites of the carrier to reduce the side reactions, the P element of the organic phosphine (aminoethyl phosphinic acid) forms an electron transfer effect with Cu to promote the CO insertion reaction (the key step of generating C 2+ alcohol), so the CO conversion rate and C 2+ alcohol selectivity are the highest.

[0097] In Comparative Example 1, the silicon-magnesium soil is not modified by the rare earth metal salt and the transition metal salt, the carrier cannot effectively adjust the acid sites and enhance the CO adsorption, and there is no organic phosphine in S2, which cannot promote the CO insertion reaction, so the CO conversion rate and C 2+ alcohol selectivity are greatly reduced; in Comparative Example 2, the silicon-magnesium soil is not modified by the rare earth metal salt and the transition metal salt, which affects the promotion effect of the carrier on the reaction, and the layered sulfide is not added in S3, which cannot provide more active sites and reduce the reaction activation energy, resulting in a CO conversion rate and C 2+ alcohol selectivity lower than those of Example 1 and other examples, but the performance is relatively better than that of Comparative Example 1 due to the retention of the organic phosphine and the like.

[0098] Based on the above tests, the CO content in the tail gas of the catalyst prepared in Example 1 is detected by gas chromatography (TCD detector) at 100 h, the CO conversion rate at 100 h is calculated, and the CO conversion rate decay rate at 100 h (as follows) is calculated.

[0099]

[0100] The initial CO conversion rate was 43.5%, the CO conversion rate at 100h was 39.9%, and the CO conversion rate attenuation rate at 100h was 8.3%. The catalyst prepared in Example 1 has good stability. On the one hand, the carrier modified by the rare earth metal salt and the transition metal salt forms a La-O-Cu bond with Cu, which limits the migration and agglomeration of Cu particles. On the other hand, the chelate structure formed by D-mannitol and sodium aspartate maintains high dispersion, and the layered structure of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) physically isolates Cu particles, reducing the contact opportunities between particles, so that the CO conversion rate attenuation rate at 100h is controlled at a low level, meeting the needs of industrial continuous production.

[0101] The catalyst prepared in Example 1 was subjected to catalytic reaction at different temperatures and pressures, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0102] Table 2

[0103]

[0104] It can be seen that when the temperature is reduced (240℃, 3MPa), the CO conversion rate decreases, and the selectivity remains good, because low temperature can inhibit the side reaction to a certain extent; after increasing the temperature (280℃, 3MPa), the CO conversion rate increases, but Cu will have sintering, which will lead to the decrease of C 2+ alcohol selectivity. After reducing the pressure (260℃, 2MPa), the CO adsorption amount decreases, the conversion rate decreases, the chain growth reaction is affected, and the selectivity decreases; high pressure (260℃, 4MPa) increases the CO conversion rate, but C 2+ alcohol selectivity decreases slightly. Therefore, under the reaction conditions of 260℃, 3MPa, the conversion rate is ensured, the side reactions and energy consumption caused by high pressure are avoided, and the balance between good activity and selectivity is maintained.

[0105] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present application, which enables those skilled in the art to understand or implement the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features applied herein.
