Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of industrial catalysts, and in particular to hydrocarbon steam reforming catalysts and preparation methods thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the past two years, China has seen rapid growth in the production of syngas from biomass and the conversion of waste oils and fats to biomass energy. Both processes involve the conversion and utilization of hydrogen. The hydrogen feedstocks used for biomass feedstocks and oil hydrogenation differ from traditional natural gas (primarily methane) in that they have a more complex composition, with a higher concentration of hydrocarbons, particularly higher hydrocarbons, including various alkanes and cycloalkanes.

[0003] Due to the complex composition of higher hydrocarbons, thermal cracking of higher hydrocarbons during the reaction process easily leads to carbon deposition. The reactions that form carbon may also include:

[0004] 2CO=C+CO2

[0005] CO+H2=C+H2O

[0006] CH4=C+2H2.

[0007] The above-mentioned carbon deposits on the catalyst will block the pores and surface of the catalyst, easily causing the catalyst to break and quickly deactivate, greatly shortening the service life of the hydrocarbon steam reforming catalyst.

[0008] In the related art, the methods adopted to solve the carbon resistance problem of conversion catalysts include: first, to improve the low-temperature activity of the catalyst as much as possible, and at the same time use an alkaline carrier to increase the water-carbon ratio during the reaction. Under specific conditions, this method can temporarily alleviate the carbon precipitation effect of the conversion process, but it significantly increases the energy consumption of the system, which is economically unreasonable; second, adding potassium salts (directly adding various potassium salts, adding potassium nephrite), relying on potassium to promote the vaporization reaction of carbon. The addition of direct potassium salts can improve the carbon resistance of the catalyst, but the addition of direct potassium salts has the disadvantage that potassium is easily lost, and the loss of potassium will reduce the activity and stability of the catalyst to a certain extent; in addition, the loss of potassium and the loss of silica in potassium nephrite at high temperature will also easily cause scaling of the subsequent waste boiler system and reduce the heat exchange efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0260] Preparation of MgAl2O4 spinel powder

[0261] A. Sodium aluminate solution preparation: Take 167.7 g of sodium aluminate solution with a 30% alumina concentration and dilute it with water to a concentration of 102 g / L alumina. Bring the solution to a volume of 405 mL and heat to 70°C. Set aside.

[0262] B. Preparation of magnesium oxide slurry: According to the mass ratio of MgO:HNO3=100:6, the measurement of magnesium is based on the mass of MgO. 17g of active magnesium oxide is weighed and added to 405mL of desalted water. Then 5g of 20% nitric acid is added dropwise and mixed evenly. The mixture is then ground with a colloid mill until it passes through 300 mesh. Finally, water is added to make the MgO concentration 40g / L. The mixture is heated to 70℃ and set aside.

[0263] C. Add 15% of the volume of desalted water into the autoclave and heat it to 70°C;

[0264] D. The sodium metaaluminate solution and magnesium oxide slurry were added to the high temperature and high pressure reactor at a specific flow rate. The stirring speed of the reactor was controlled at 500 rpm during the neutralization process. The addition time was 120 min. The pH value was controlled at 8 throughout the process. The reaction temperature was 70°C.

[0265] E. After the neutralization reaction is completed, the autoclave is pressurized to 10 MPa and the reaction is continued for 18 hours. Then the pressure is reduced to normal pressure and the material is filtered and washed in a filter until the Na2O content is less than 0.05%;

[0266] F. The washed filter cake was dried at 120°C for 8 hours, then calcined at 1230°C for 3 hours, and the calcined material was ball-milled until it passed through 150 mesh to obtain MgAl2O4 spinel powder;

[0267] Preparation of potassium calcium aluminate:

[0268] Step 1, aluminum hydroxide-calcium oxide material preparation: weigh 24.7g aluminum hydroxide (Al2O3 content is 65%), add 4.5g CaO powder (27.5% by weight) and ball mill together, mix until the powder particle size is 320 mesh and all pass through, set aside;

[0269] Step 2, preparation of KOH solution: based on the aluminum oxide content in aluminum hydroxide, weigh 8.8 g of KOH solid that is 55% of its weight, and add 2.2 times the weight of the weighed KOH solid in deionized water to dissolve it and set aside;

[0270] Step 3: Add the aluminum hydroxide prepared in step 1 into a mixer and mix the dry powder for 60 minutes. After the dry powder is mixed, add the KOH solution prepared in step 2 and mix for 90 minutes to ensure that the materials are fully mixed and no unsoaked solid particles exist. The mixed wet material is extruded into 10 mm strips with a length of 30 mm. After natural drying for 48 hours, it is heated to 1400 ° C in a muffle furnace and calcined for 4 hours. After cooling, it is crushed to 180 mesh and fully passed to obtain potassium calcium aluminate powder with a structure of KCa 1 / 2 Al2O4;

[0271] Vector preparation:

[0272] MgAl2O4 spinel powder, potassium calcium aluminate powder, pure calcium aluminate cement, zirconium oxide, graphite, and short fibers (natural kapok, polyvinyl alcohol fiber, polyester fiber, etc.) were mixed in a ratio of 80:6.5:13:0.9:4:1 and added into a ball mill. The mixture was ball-milled to 200°C with a pass rate of 85%. Water was then added to granulate the mixture and press-molded into a six-hole column or a seven-hole column. The mixture was cured in an autoclave at 1.2 MPa for 12 hours and finally calcined at 1400°C for 4 hours to obtain a catalyst carrier. The catalyst carrier had a pore size of 73% with a pore size of 300 nm or more, a strength of 419 N / particle, a pore volume of 0.31 mL / g, and a specific surface area of ​​6.81 m 2 / g;

[0273] The support was immersed in a 600 g / L nickel nitrate solution at room temperature for 30 min, then dried at 150° C. for 8 h and calcined at 550° C. for 4 h. Following the above steps again, a catalyst with a nickel oxide content of 12.0% was obtained.

[0274] Comparative Example 1

[0275] The samples were prepared according to the catalyst preparation method in patent CN201410528730.9.

One portion was analyzed for K2O content in the catalyst according to HG / T, and one portion was immersed in 200 mL of water and heated under reflux for 6 h. The catalyst was then dried and the K2O content in the catalyst after boiling was analyzed according to HG / T.

[0280]

[0281] The test results show that the potassium fixation effect of the catalyst prepared by the present invention is significantly better than that of the traditional potassium fixation method.

[0282] Comparison of catalyst activity:

[0283] The activity of the catalysts prepared using Examples 1 to 7 and the comparative example of the present application was tested as follows:

[0284] (1) Catalyst loading:

[0285] Figure 2The activity evaluation device for the catalysts of the examples and comparative examples of the present application is first loaded into the isothermal zone of the reactor (the fixed bed reactor is a Φ25×3mm stainless steel tube) with the catalyst sample of the example or comparative example (catalyst particle size is 10-20 mesh, catalyst loading amount is 20mL, catalyst bed height is 750mm), and the raw material is isobutane (purity ≥99.99%) to measure the activity of the catalyst.

[0286] The analytical instrument used was a Sichuan Instrument SC-2000 gas chromatograph with a thermal conductivity detector, a TDX-01 column, and H2 as the carrier gas. The main analysis was for C2 in the gas. + content.

[0287] (2) Test conditions are shown in Table 2:

[0290] (3) The test results of CH4 and C2 content in the conversion gas are shown in Table 3:

[0292]

[0293]

[0294] (4) The carbon deposition resistance of some catalysts in the examples and the catalyst in comparative example 1 (measured using a TGA-101 thermogravimetric analyzer) is shown in Table 4:

[0295] Table 4 Test results of the carbon deposition resistance of the catalysts of Example 4 and Comparative Example 1

[0296]

[0297] From the comparative data in Table 3 and Table 4, it can be seen that the catalyst prepared by the method described in this scheme is mainly composed of a magnesium-aluminum spinel structure with uniform grain size prepared by high-pressure crystallization, and is added with high-temperature stable potassium calcium aluminate additives and zirconium dioxide, so that the catalyst carrier has obvious alkalinity and alkaline stability. The anti-carbon deposition effect of the catalyst is significantly better than that of the embodiment, the CH4 content in the converted gas is lower, the activity of the catalyst is higher, and the occurrence of carbon deposition during the operation of the catalyst, which affects the activity and service life, can be significantly reduced.

[0299]

[0300]

[0301] From the comparison of Ni grain size before and after the operation of the catalyst in Table 5, it can be seen that the catalyst prepared by the method described in this scheme is mainly composed of a magnesium-aluminum spinel structure with uniform grain size prepared by high-pressure crystallization, and is added with high-temperature stable potassium calcium aluminate additives and zirconium dioxide. The stability of the carrier structure and the addition of the two structural additives can effectively disperse the active component nickel, so that the catalyst has a higher nickel dispersion, effectively resisting the growth of nickel grain size caused by high-temperature thermal aging during the operation of the catalyst. The catalyst has good stability and can ensure a long service life of the catalyst during industrial application.
