Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biofuels, and particularly relates to a Mo-Pr liquid catalyst for hydrogenation conversion of biomass raw materials and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The second generation of biodiesel (i.e. hydrogenated vegetable oil, HVO) has become an important direction for replacing fossil fuels due to its excellent blending property with petroleum diesel and more excellent environmental performance. Existing industrial production mainly relies on hydrogenation treatment of a supported solid catalyst (such as Ni-Mo / Al2O3, Co-Mo / Al2O3) in a fixed bed reactor. This technical route has inherent defects: first, the internal surface utilization rate of the solid catalyst is low, especially for macromolecular oil and fat raw materials, the mass transfer resistance is large; second, the catalyst is easy to be deactivated due to coking and metal deposition, has a short service life, is frequently replaced, has high cost and produces solid waste; third, the fixed bed reactor is prone to pressure drop and bed plugging problems when processing high-viscosity raw materials.

[0003] In order to overcome the limitations of solid catalysts, liquid catalyst systems have begun to attract attention. Liquid catalysts can theoretically achieve molecular-level contact with reactants, eliminate internal diffusion limitations, and improve atomic economy. However, existing liquid catalyst systems (such as homogeneous acid and base catalysts) face two major challenges: first, the balance between catalytic activity and stability is difficult to achieve, and second, the separation and recovery of catalysts and products after the reaction are extremely difficult, resulting in high cost and environmental pollution, making it difficult to achieve industrial application.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a catalyst system that has high catalytic activity, excellent stability and can be recovered simply and efficiently, and a matching reaction process, to break through the technical and economic bottlenecks of the production of the second generation of biodiesel. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the inherent defects of existing solid catalysts and traditional homogeneous catalysts, and to provide a new second generation of biodiesel production solution that integrates high-performance liquid catalysts with special reaction and separation technologies.

[0006] In the first aspect of the present application, the present application provides a Mo-Pr liquid catalyst for hydrogenation conversion of biomass raw materials, comprising the following raw materials: molybdate, praseodymium nitrate and organic ligand, the molar ratio of Mo in the molybdate to Pr in the praseodymium nitrate being (5-15): 1.

[0007] By adopting the technical scheme, the application provides a Mo-Pr liquid catalyst for hydrogenation conversion of biomass raw materials, the conversion rate of the catalyst for hydrogenation conversion of biomass raw materials is greater than 92%, the cetane number is greater than 65, the condensation point is less than -22 DEG C, the sulfur content is less than 10 ppm, and the cycle number of the catalyst is greater than 20 times. This may be because, on the one hand, Mo 4+ / Mo 6+ and Pr 3+ / Pr 4+ form a heteronuclear electron transition channel, significantly reduce the C-O bond dissociation energy barrier, and the oxygen vacancy induced by Pr can timely remove CO / CO2, and inhibit carbon deposition; on the other hand, the liquid catalyst eliminates the internal diffusion resistance, so that the reaction can be completed at a lower temperature and a shorter residence time.

[0021] Optionally, the biomass raw material in step S1 is catering waste oil.

[0022] Optionally, in step S1, the biomass raw material is subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis by using lipase PS-IM.

[0118] Performance test

[0119] Product analysis:

[0120] Cetane number: ASTM D613;

[0121] Pour point: ASTM D2500;

[0122] Sulfur content: ASTM D5453;

[0123] Process evaluation:

[0124] Conversion rate calculation: gravimetric method, calculation formula as follows:

[0125] Conversion rate = m1 / (m0-m1) x 100%;

[0126] In the formula, m0 is the mass (g) of pretreated biomass raw material, and m1 is the mass (g) of biodiesel.

[0127] Catalyst stability: when the conversion rate is < 50%, it is judged that the catalyst is deactivated, which is counted by the number of recycling of the catalyst.

[0128] Energy consumption analysis: online monitoring system, i.e. energy consumption analysis using energy management software (EMS).

[0129] Among them, the energy consumption includes: biomass raw material pretreatment energy consumption, catalyst preparation energy consumption, reaction process energy consumption, catalyst separation and recovery energy consumption and equipment operation energy consumption.

[0130] The specific results are shown in Table 1.

[0131] Table 1

[0132]

[0133] It can be seen from Examples 1-3 and Table 1 that in Example 1, when Mo / Pr = 10 (molar ratio), the catalytic activity of the Mo-Pr liquid catalyst, i.e. the conversion rate of catering waste oil to biodiesel, is the highest, and the stability of the catalyst is the best.

[0134] It can be seen from Examples 1, Examples 4-5 and Table 1 that in Example 1, when the molar ratio of citric acid to Mo is 2.0:1, the catalytic activity of the Mo-Pr liquid catalyst, i.e. the conversion rate of catering waste oil to biodiesel, is the highest, and the stability of the catalyst is the best.

[0135] It can be seen from Examples 1, Example 6 and the data in Table 1 that in Example 1, the Mo-Pr liquid catalyst prepared by selecting citric acid as the organic ligand has the optimal conversion rate of catering waste oil to biodiesel compared with the Mo-Pr liquid catalyst prepared by selecting tartaric acid as the organic ligand in Example 6. This may be because citric acid has more coordination teeth, and thus has stronger chelation strength, which is more conducive to enhancing the stability of Mo-Pr bimetallic and further enhancing the synergistic effect of Mo-Pr bimetallic.

[0136] From the combination of Example 1, Example 7-8 and Table 1, it can be seen that the amount of lipase PS-IM used for enzymatic pretreatment of the restaurant waste oil is controlled between 0.5-1.5% by weight of the restaurant waste oil. When the amount of lipase PS-IM used in Example 7 is less, the conversion rate of the restaurant waste oil into biodiesel is reduced, and the stability of the catalyst is also poor.

[0137] From the combination of Example 1, Example 9 and Table 1, it can be seen that the catalytic activity of the Mo-Pr liquid catalyst, i.e. the conversion rate of the restaurant waste oil into biodiesel, is lower than that of Example 1 when the lipase PS-IM is replaced by an equal amount of free lipase NS81006 in Example 9. This may be because the free lipase NS81006 cannot be filtered out from the pretreated biomass raw material, and the enzyme will denature and precipitate in the subsequent high-temperature reaction stage, which may cause blockage, affect the actual pressure during the reaction, and thus affect the catalytic activity of the catalyst.

[0138] From the combination of Example 1, Comparative Examples 1-2 and Table 1, it can be seen that when either of Mo or Pr is missing in the liquid catalyst system, the conversion rate of the restaurant waste oil into biodiesel is reduced, and the service life of the catalyst is shortened due to the destruction of the synergistic effect of Mo and Pr.

[0139] From the combination of Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that when the restaurant waste oil is not subjected to enzymatic pretreatment, the mass transfer and diffusion resistance may increase sharply due to the high molecular weight and high viscosity of the triglyceride, and the decarboxylation / decarbonylation path is inhibited, which may more easily lead to catalyst carbon deposition, and thus significantly reduce the conversion rate and the service life of the catalyst.

[0140] From the combination of Example 1, Comparative Example 4 and Table 1, it can be seen that the conversion rate is reduced, the service life of the catalyst is significantly reduced, and the energy consumption is higher when a conventional solid catalyst is used. This may be because the mass transfer efficiency of the liquid catalyst is better than that of the solid catalyst, and the liquid catalyst has high-dispersed active sites.

[0141] From the combination of Example 1, Comparative Example 5 and Table 1, it can be seen that when the reactor only uses a fixed bed reactor, the conversion rate is reduced, the service life of the catalyst is reduced, and the energy consumption is higher. This may be because the lack of a suspended bed for low-pressure post-treatment results in incomplete reaction, catalyst carbon deposition, and high hydrogen circulation load throughout the high-temperature and high-pressure process.

[0142] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made on the basis of the products, methods and principles of the present application should be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
