AI Technical Summary
Existing propane dehydrogenation catalysts for propylene production are prone to sintering and agglomeration at high temperatures, leading to rapid catalyst deactivation. They also exhibit deep dehydrogenation and cracking side reactions, resulting in low propylene selectivity and poor catalyst stability.
CB@S-1 molecular sieves were prepared by hydrothermal crystallization after mixing a template agent with water and adding a precursor solution containing elements B and C and a silicon source. Subsequently, the CB@S-1 molecular sieve was mixed with an element A precursor solution and calcined to form a catalyst. Element A includes Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir, and Pt, element B includes B, Al, Ga, and In, and element C includes Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs. The catalyst is confined in the channels of the S-1 molecular sieve to form a stable structure, inhibit the sintering of active metals, and improve the dispersion through interaction.
The catalyst exhibits high activity and high propylene selectivity in propane dehydrogenation, with propane conversion approaching thermodynamic equilibrium and propylene selectivity exceeding 98%. It also demonstrates good stability, with its performance remaining almost unchanged over 500 hours, significantly outperforming existing catalysts.

[0001] This invention relates to the field of propane dehydrogenation to propylene catalysis, and more particularly to a catalyst for propane dehydrogenation to propylene, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Propylene, as a key basic chemical raw material, has indispensable applications in many fields such as plastics, rubber, fibers, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. At present, about 10% of propylene is produced through propane dehydrogenation (PDH) technology. In particular, the shale gas revolution has brought a large amount of cheap propane, making PDH technology a highly anticipated development direction in the chemical industry.
[0003] The endothermic and high-temperature characteristics of the propane dehydrogenation to propylene reaction place stringent requirements on the catalyst. Existing catalysts, especially Pt-Sn or Cr-based catalysts supported on alumina, suffer from the following main problems: First, the active metal components are prone to sintering and agglomeration at high temperatures, leading to rapid catalyst deactivation; second, deep dehydrogenation and cracking side reactions easily occur on the catalyst surface, not only making it difficult to achieve propylene selectivity but also causing severe carbon deposition, resulting in a sharp decline in catalyst stability.
[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a novel propane dehydrogenation catalyst and its preparation method, which aims to simultaneously achieve high activity, high propylene selectivity and excellent long-term stability of the catalyst, thereby overcoming the above-mentioned defects of the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for preparing a catalyst for propane dehydrogenation to propylene includes the following steps:
[0008] 1) Mix the template agent with water to form a mixed solution;
[0009] 2) Add a precursor solution containing element B and a precursor solution containing element C to the mixed solution in step 1), then add a silicon source, stir evenly, and then perform hydrothermal crystallization; wash, dry and calcine the crystallized product to obtain CB@S-1;
[0010] 3) Mix the CB@S-1 obtained in step 2) with the precursor solution containing element A, and stir to form a suspension or paste;
[0011] 4) The suspension or paste obtained in step 3) is calcined, cooled, crushed, ground, and sieved to obtain the catalyst C-BA@S-1;
[0012] Wherein, element A includes at least one of Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir, and Pt; element B includes at least one of B, Al, Ga, and In; element C includes at least one of Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs; by mass percentage, element A is 0.01% to 1%, element B is 1% to 20%, element C is 1% to 20%, and the balance is S-1 molecular sieve.
[0013] In step 1), the template agent is at least one of tetrapropylammonium hydroxide and tetraethylammonium hydroxide.
[0014] In step 2), the silicon source is selected from at least one of tetraethyl orthosilicate, silica sol, and silica.
[0015] In step 2), the hydrothermal crystallization temperature is 60~280℃ and the crystallization time is 24~120h.
[0016] In step 2), the calcination is carried out in air, nitrogen or an inert atmosphere, at a temperature of 270~650℃, and for a time of 1.5~5h.
[0017] In step 4), the calcination is carried out under nitrogen or an inert atmosphere, the calcination temperature is 200~1000℃, and the calcination time is 4~8h.
[0018] A propane dehydrogenation catalyst for propylene production is prepared using the method described in this invention.
[0019] The catalyst comprises elements A, B, C and S-1 molecular sieve, wherein by mass percentage, element A is 0.01% to 1%, element B is 1% to 20%, element C is 1% to 20%, and the balance is S-1 molecular sieve.
[0020] The application of the propane dehydrogenation to propylene catalyst in the propane dehydrogenation reaction.
[0021] The propane dehydrogenation reaction is carried out at a temperature of 350–650 °C, a pressure of 0.3–1.0 bar, and a weight hourly space velocity of 4–20 h⁻¹. -1 The reaction raw materials are propane or a mixture of propane and nitrogen, wherein the volume content of propane is not less than 45%.
[0022] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The catalyst of the present invention confines active metal A and auxiliary elements B and C within the channels of an S-1 molecular sieve, forming a stable structure, inhibiting the sintering of active metal A, and significantly improving the catalyst's anti-sintering ability and stability. First, an S-1 molecular sieve containing elements B and C is prepared, which prevents the sintering of metal B during calcination. Subsequently, element A is further introduced, combining with B and C through impregnation and generating strong interactions, which can improve the dispersion of metal A, thereby enhancing the catalyst's activity.
[0023] 2. Using the catalyst and preparation method described in this invention, the active metals interact to highly disperse the components, which helps to improve catalytic activity; and the auxiliary metal C element modifies the active metal A component, adjusts its surface to a certain positive oxidation state, inhibits the reaction of propane undergoing deep dehydrogenation to generate carbon deposits, and improves propylene selectivity and catalyst stability.
[0024] 3. The catalyst support is S-1 molecular sieve with a crystal size of 40~100 nm. Its small size and short pores result in a short residence time for olefins, which can inhibit reactions such as oligomerization of olefin products and improve the selectivity of propylene.
[0025] 4. In the propane dehydrogenation reaction, the catalyst achieves a propane conversion rate close to the thermodynamic equilibrium conversion rate, a propylene selectivity of up to 98%, and good catalyst stability, with almost no change in catalytic performance after 500 hours of testing.
[0026] 5. The propane dehydrogenation to propylene catalyst provided by this invention has catalytic performance and catalyst stability that are far superior to those of existing industrial catalysts, and has potential for industrial application. Attached Figure Description

[0074] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the characteristic diffraction peaks of S-1 molecular sieve appear in the X-ray diffraction pattern of K-InRh@S-1 catalyst, indicating that S-1 molecular sieve was successfully synthesized; however, no diffraction signals of In, K or Rh metals appear in the spectrum, indicating that there are no agglomerated metal particles on the catalyst surface. This is because the amount of In, K and Rh metals added is small, and the metals are highly dispersed inside the molecular sieve with small particle size.
[0075] Figure 2 The image shows a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the K-InRh@S-1 catalyst. It can be seen that the crystal size of the molecular sieve is about 100 nm. In addition, there are no obvious metal particles on the outer surface of the molecular sieve, which suggests that most of the active metal has entered the interior of the molecular sieve.
[0076] Figure 3 The graph shows the long-term stability of the K-InRh@S-1 catalyst in Example 2 (where the red line represents the conversion rate and the blue line represents the selectivity). Within 500 hours, the catalyst can maintain a high propane conversion rate of 39.6% and the propylene selectivity of 98.1% remains almost unchanged, which shows that the performance of this catalyst is extremely stable.
