Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of catalyst preparation, in particular to a cobalt-based catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Low carbon olefins (including ethylene, propylene and butene) are raw materials for chemicals such as polymers, medicines and solvents, and their demand is large and increasing year by year. Although the production of low carbon olefins in China has formed a certain scale, the self-sufficiency rate is low, and the contradiction between supply and demand still exists. Traditional low carbon olefin production is mainly obtained by petroleum cracking, cracking and other methods. China's fossil resources have the characteristics of "rich in coal, less oil and lack of gas", and a large amount of imported oil is needed to meet the huge demand for low carbon olefins in China. The process of using coal as raw material to prepare low carbon olefins is more suitable for the characteristics of China's fossil resources, can realize high value-added utilization of coal, and get rid of the dependence on imported oil. Fischer-Tropsch reaction is a process in which synthesis gas (CO and H2) is converted into C2+ (C2+ represents the number of C atoms greater than or equal to 2) products under specific conditions using a catalyst. By optimizing the reaction temperature, reaction pressure and regulating the catalyst structure, the product distribution and product selectivity can be regulated. For example, using a specific catalyst can convert synthesis gas into low carbon olefins at 200-300℃ and normal pressure. Through the normal pressure Fischer-Tropsch reaction, the synthesis gas derived from coal gasification production is converted into low carbon olefins, which has very important application prospect and practical significance. The catalyst is the core of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction, and its activity, selectivity and stability directly determine the efficiency and product distribution of the conversion of synthesis gas into hydrocarbon products.

The concentration of the mixed metal salt solution was 2 mol / L, and the concentration of the oxalic acid solution was 0.5 mol / L.
