Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of petrochemical technology, specifically to a metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalyst and its preparation and application. Background Technology

[0002] Olefins are among the most important chemicals and feedstocks in the petrochemical industry. Low-carbon olefins, such as ethylene, propylene, and butene, are the main petrochemical feedstocks for the production of various polymers and other value-added chemicals, and can be produced through the thermal and catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons. Compared with steam cracking technology, catalytic cracking has significant advantages such as lower reaction temperature, lower carbon dioxide emissions, and the ability to modify product distribution by adjusting catalyst properties, allowing for flexible adjustments to production plans based on market demand.

[0003] Microporous molecular sieves have been widely used in catalytic cracking as effective solid acid catalysts. Microporous ZSM-5 molecular sieves exhibit good catalytic cracking ability, high selectivity for low-carbon olefins, and low hydrogen transfer reaction activity and dehydrogenation condensation ability. However, the product molecules after the reaction are difficult to diffuse and escape rapidly, leading to secondary cracking and increased coking. Mesoporous catalysts, such as amorphous aluminosilicate (ASA), are composite materials formed from Al2O3 and SiO2. They possess large pore size, pore volume, and a certain acidity, enabling pre-cracking of feedstocks and improving the accessibility of reactive sites on the catalyst. This facilitates both reactant diffusion and adsorption at active sites and rapid product desorption and diffusion to the main reaction body, reducing the probability of secondary reactions and coking formation. However, their acidity is weak, resulting in poor cracking performance. Combining microporous ZSM-5 molecular sieves with amorphous aluminosilicate catalysts can overcome the shortcomings of both microporous zeolites and mesoporous catalysts, allowing them to complement each other's advantages.

[0004] To improve the selectivity and yield of low-carbon olefins, catalyst modification is necessary. Common modification methods include alkali metal and alkaline earth metal ion modification, transition metal ion or oxide modification, rare earth ion or oxide modification, and phosphorus modification. Metal modification can adjust the number of acidic sites and the ratio of acid types (B / L ratio) on the catalyst, thereby affecting the cracking pathway of hydrocarbons on the catalyst and improving the selectivity and yield of low-carbon olefins. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalyst, its preparation, and its application. The catalyst provided by this invention exhibits high selectivity and high yield for low-carbon olefins when used to catalyze hydrocarbons.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0012] The specific surface area of ​​the ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite material is 320~500 m². 2 / g, pore volume 0.3~2.1cm³ 3 / g.

[0013] This invention also provides a method for preparing the metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalyst described above, comprising the following steps:

[0014] The silicon source, ZSM-5 molecular sieve, aluminum source, lower alcohol and water were first mixed, and the pH value was adjusted to 7-10 to obtain ZSM-5@ASA precursor emulsion.

[0015] The ZSM-5@ASA precursor emulsion was aged and then calcined to obtain the ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite material.

[0016] The ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite material, metal salt, and water are mixed in a second process, followed by concentration, drying, and a second calcination to obtain a metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalyst. The metal element in the metal salt includes at least one of magnesium, calcium, iron, copper, zinc, zirconium, lanthanum, cerium, and yttrium. The mass of the metal element in the metal salt is 0.1-5% of the mass of the metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalyst.

[0017] Preferably, the silicon source includes at least one of sodium silicate, silica sol, fumed silica, and tetraethyl orthosilicate;

[0018] The aluminum source includes at least one of aluminum sulfate, aluminum nitrate, aluminum acetylacetone, boehmite, and aluminum hydroxide.

[0031] Preferably, the application includes at least one of the following: catalytic cracking of naphtha components, olefins, chain alkanes, and cycloalkanes.

[0032] The metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalyst provided by this invention has a core-shell structure, possessing both the micropores of ZSM-5 molecular sieve and the mesoporous channels of amorphous aluminosilicate (ASA). The ZSM-5 molecular sieve core provides excellent shape selectivity and strong Brønsted acid sites, while the ASA shell provides abundant mesopores (2~20 nm) and Lewis acid sites, exhibiting superior accessibility and anti-coking ability. Metal modification further adjusts the catalyst's acidity, resulting in a composite catalyst with suitable acid density, excellent diffusion performance, and a suitable pore structure. The outer (ASA) mesopores, with larger pore size and weaker acidity, activate reactants, weakening the bond energies of CH and C-C bonds. The activated reactants then enter the inner microporous material (ZSM-5 molecular sieve) with smaller pore size and stronger acidity, where they undergo further cleavage at the acidic sites of the ZSM-5 molecular sieve. The metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalyst of this invention exhibits higher selectivity and yield for low-carbon olefins (such as ethylene and propylene) obtained from the catalytic cracking reaction of hydrocarbons, and has potential application value in the petrochemical field.

[0033] The catalyst of this invention has a simpler synthesis procedure. First, ZSM-5 molecular sieve is prepared, then ASA is coated onto the ZSM-5 core using the sol-gel method, and finally, metal is loaded using the wet impregnation method. This allows for precise control of the silica-alumina ratio, acidity, and pore size of the ZSM-5 core and ASA shell in the composite catalyst, which is more conducive to improving the selectivity and yield of its catalytic cracking of naphtha to produce low-carbon olefins.

[0034] The method for preparing the metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalyst provided by this invention involves coating ASA onto the surface of ZSM-5 molecular sieve using a sol-gel method, followed by loading metal using a post-modification method (wet impregnation). This method has minimal impact on the specific surface area and pore structure of the ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite material. Furthermore, it allows for precise control over the silica-alumina ratio, acidity, and pore size of the ZSM-5 molecular sieve (core) and ASA mesoporous material (shell) in the metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalyst, which is more conducive to improving the selectivity and yield of its catalytic cracking of naphtha to produce low-carbon olefins. Moreover, the preparation method provided by this invention is simple, easy to operate, uses widely available raw materials, has low production costs, and is suitable for industrial production.

[0129] Test Example 1

[0130] The metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalysts prepared in Examples 3-9 were analyzed by XRD, N2- adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.

[0131] Figure 1 XRD of Fe / ZSM-5@ASA Figure 1 As can be seen, Fe / ZSM-5@ASA has good crystallinity and exhibits typical MFI diffraction peaks, while no diffraction peaks of iron oxide or ferrous oxide are observed, indicating that the iron content is highly dispersed.

[0132] Figure 2 The pore size distribution of Fe / ZSM-5@ASA shows that the pore size is between 10 and 15 nm.

[0133] Figures 3-4 The images shown are SEM and TEM images of Fe / ZSM-5@ASA. It can be seen that Fe / ZSM-5@ASA has a core-shell structure, with ZSM-5 molecular sieve as the core and ASA mesoporous material as the shell material wrapped around the outer surface of ZSM-5 molecular sieve.

[0134] The specific surface area, pore size, and pore volume data of the ZSM-5@ASA composite material prepared in Example 2 and the metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalysts prepared in Examples 3-9 are shown in Table 1.

[0135] Table 1. Characterization results of the pore structure of the catalyst

[0136]

[0137] As can be seen from Table 1, the metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA micro-mesoporous composite catalyst prepared in this invention has a slightly lower specific surface area, and the pore size and pore volume are also reduced compared with the unmodified ZSM-5@ASA micro-mesoporous composite catalyst.

[0138] Test Example 2

[0139] The ZSM-5@ASA micro-mesoporous composite catalysts prepared in Example 2 and those prepared in Examples 3-9 catalyze the cracking reaction of n-heptane.

[0140] The catalytic cracking of n-heptane was evaluated using a CEL-GPPCH fixed-bed reactor with an inner diameter of 1 cm and a length of 110 cm. The reaction conditions were as follows: reaction temperature range of 500–700 °C, catalyst loading of 0.2 g, carrier gas nitrogen flow rate of 20 mL / min, and WHSV of 5 h⁻¹. -1 At atmospheric pressure. Online analysis of the product composition was performed using a Shimadzu GC-2014 gas chromatograph (30m × 0.32mm × 0.5μm) with a capillary column and a flame ionization detector (FID) to determine the composition.

[0141] The catalyst stability evaluation reaction conditions were as follows: continuous reaction at 650℃ for 10 h, catalyst loading of 0.2 g, n-heptane injection flow rate of 0.025 mL / min, carrier gas nitrogen flow rate of 20 mL / min, and corresponding WHSV of 5 h. -1 The experimental results of the catalytic cracking reaction of n-heptane are shown in Table 2.

[0142] Table 2 Results of the catalyst-catalyzed cracking reaction of n-heptane

[0143]

[0144] Note: In Tables 2-3, BTX represents a mixture of benzene, toluene, and xylene, which is generally considered a precursor for coking.

[0145] As can be seen from Table 2, the metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalyst prepared by n-heptane in this invention has low selectivity for BTX but high overall selectivity for ethylene and propylene, with La / ZSM-5@ASA exhibiting the best catalytic performance.

[0146] Figure 5 The results of the catalytic cracking stability of n-heptane by ZSM-5@ASA and La / ZSM-5@ASA prepared in Example 2 show that, at 650℃, the conversion rate of n-heptane decreased by 13.55% after 10 hours of continuous reaction with unmodified ZSM-5@ASA, while the conversion rate of La / ZSM-5@ASA decreased by only 5.4%. This indicates that the metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalyst is more conducive to the catalytic cracking of n-heptane to generate olefins, and the yield of coke precursors such as BTX is lower, making coking less likely.

[0147] Test Example 3

[0148] The metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalysts prepared in Examples 3-9 and the ZSM-5@ASA catalysts prepared in Example 2 for the 1-hepten pyrolysis reaction.

[0149] The catalytic cracking of 1-hepten was evaluated using a CEL-GPPCH type fixed-bed reactor with an inner diameter of 1 cm and a length of 110 cm. The reaction conditions were as follows: reaction temperature range of 500–700 °C, catalyst loading of 0.2 g, carrier gas nitrogen flow rate of 20 mL / min, and WHSV of 5 h⁻¹. -1 At atmospheric pressure. Online analysis of the product composition was performed using a Shimadzu GC-2014 gas chromatograph (30m × 0.32mm × 0.5μm capillary column) and a flame ionization detector (FID) to determine the composition. The experimental results are shown in Table 3.

[0150] Table 3 Results of the catalytic cracking reaction of 1-hepten.

[0151]

[0152] As shown in Table 3, the selectivity of 1-heptene for ethylene-propylene under La / ZSM-5@ASA catalysis is significantly higher than that under unmodified ZSM-5@ASA, and the BTX value is also lower. This indicates that the metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA microporous composite catalyst provided by this invention facilitates the catalytic cracking of 1-heptene to produce ethylene-propylene, and the yield of coke precursors such as BTX is lower, making coking less likely.

[0153] The embodiments of the present invention provide a metal-modified ZSM-5@ASA micro-mesoporous composite catalyst with higher selectivity and better stability for the catalytic cracking reaction of naphtha model compounds (n-heptane and 1-heptene) to produce ethylene and propylene, which has potential application value in the petrochemical field.

[0154] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
