Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a catalyst, its preparation method, and its application, and belongs to the field of catalysis. Background Art
[0002] Propylene is an important basic chemical raw material and petrochemical intermediate used in the production of polypropylene, propylene oxide, butanol, phenol, propylene glycol, acetone, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, octanol, and isopropanol. Currently, traditional propylene production processes cannot meet demand. In recent years, with the large-scale development of shale gas and Middle Eastern natural gas, propane direct dehydrogenation (PDH) technology has received increasing attention. This technology has advantages such as a short process, high yield, few byproducts, and low investment cost. Among existing and planned propane dehydrogenation industrial plants in China, the trend of using the Oleflex process is becoming increasingly apparent. This is closely related to the use of Pt-based catalysts, which are not only non-toxic but also exhibit higher propane dehydrogenation activity, product selectivity, and catalytic stability than processes such as Catofin, STAR, and LINDE.
[0003] Despite the significant achievements, platinum-based PDH catalysts still face two serious challenges: 1) Platinum is expensive, and improving its atom utilization rate is undoubtedly essential to reducing costs; 2) PDH reactions require high-temperature operation, accompanied by side reactions such as hydrogenolysis, isomerization, and coking, which not only lead to carbon buildup but also cause the active components to sinter. It is worth noting that, unlike carbon buildup, the sintering of the active components is irreversible.
[0004] Improving the dispersion of Pt species is an effective way to enhance atom utilization. In particular, the PDH reaction is a structure-sensitive reaction; reducing the size of metal particles will increase the surface free energy of metal atoms, and its catalytic activity will also be greatly improved.
[0005] To improve platinum dispersion, previous researchers have proposed many strategies. Firstly, from the perspective of support modification, increasing metal-support interactions is crucial. For example, Pt species can be highly dispersed on Al(V)-rich Al₂O₃ nanosheets through Pt-Al(V) interactions. However, Pt aggregation remains inevitable as the PDH reaction proceeds. Secondly, from the perspective of adding promoters, Pt is alloyed with transition metals to maintain high Pt dispersion through physical isolation or partial coverage. For example, by modifying with a trace amount of platinum (0.1 wt.%), transition metal-based catalysts with high PDH activity can be obtained. These geometrically isolated and electron-rich Pt sites in the alloy can promote the cleavage of the first and second CH groups of propane while inhibiting deep dehydrogenation of propylene. However, due to the sintering tendency of the active component, these low-load platinum-based catalysts typically deactivate rapidly, exhibiting poor stability.
[0006] Numerous patents have been reported regarding the modification of alkane dehydrogenation catalyst supports or additives, such as US patents US2014275686A1 and US2013072739A1; and Chinese patents CN116212861A, CN116943646A, CN104289220A, and CN103787810A. Domestic and international research institutions and users have been continuously researching alkane dehydrogenation catalysts with high catalytic activity and high stability. However, much research has been limited to focusing on the additive components and loading methods used to dilute the active component by forming alloys, thereby improving Pt dispersion. Modification of the support has been limited to alumina prepared by different methods to increase its specific surface area, and to doping the alumina to improve its acidity.
[0007] It is worth noting that a 2022 report (Nature, 611, 284-288 (2022)) indicated that confining atomically dispersed Pt / Pd / Rh atoms to oxide nanoclusters or "nano islands" can enhance the anchoring effect, with the nano islands themselves dispersed and fixed on a robust high-surface-area carrier. At optimized pH values, aqueous platinum chloride anions react with positively charged CeO₂... x Nano-islands are formed, but not with negatively charged SiO2. Heat treatment removes chlorides without compromising dispersibility or stability. Furthermore, research (Science, 383, 998-1004 (2024)) shows that In can enhance the dispersibility of Rh species through geometric effects. However, research on how to improve the dispersibility of Pt species using appropriate methods to couple the carrier confinement effect and the geometric effect of the additives for PDH reaction systems remains lacking.
