Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of catalyst technology, specifically relating to a molecular sieve catalyst for the direct dehydrogenation of n-butane, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] 1,3-Butadiene is an important petrochemical feedstock, serving as a key structural unit in polymer products such as synthetic rubber, resins, and plastics. Its market demand continues to grow rapidly with the downstream industries. Traditionally, 1,3-Butadiene is mainly extracted from the C4 fraction, a byproduct of naphtha cracking, via cryogenic distillation, or produced through ethanol-catalyzed dimerization. However, these methods are increasingly unable to meet the growing industrial demand. In recent years, with advancements in exploration technologies for light alkane resources such as shale gas, the process of producing 1,3-Butadiene from n-butane via direct dehydrogenation (BDH) has emerged as a promising alternative. However, the BDH process involves a complex reaction pathway and a wide distribution of products, necessitating the development of a catalyst capable of balancing high activity, selectivity, and stability of 1,3-Butadiene at high temperatures.

[0003] Platinum (Pt) has been widely used in alkane dehydrogenation reactions due to its significant affinity for C–H bond activation. Although platinum-based catalysts generally exhibit excellent catalytic activity, their active sites are prone to gradual deactivation due to metal sintering, carbon deposition, and strong adsorption of olefin molecules on metal surfaces, leading to decreased stability and selectivity. Particularly in the dehydrogenation of n-butane, catalyst systems with platinum nanoparticles supported on acidic zeolites face challenges such as excessive acidity, increased side reactions, and unsatisfactory isobutene yields.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0042] Platinum-based catalysts typically exhibit excellent catalytic activity, but their active sites are prone to gradual deactivation due to metal sintering, carbon deposition, and strong adsorption of olefin molecules on metal surfaces, leading to decreased stability and selectivity (such as selectivity for isobutylene). Particularly in the dehydrogenation of n-butane, catalyst systems supporting platinum nanoparticles on acidic zeolites also face problems such as excessive acidity, increased side reactions, and unsatisfactory isobutylene yields.

[0043] To address the aforementioned issues, the applicant developed a novel Pt-M bimetallic catalyst. This bimetallic catalyst incorporates other metals to form customized bimetallic nanoparticles with Pt, and also introduces a support with a high specific surface area to achieve high dispersion of the metal nanoparticles. This significantly improves the catalyst's reactivity, selectivity for 1,3-butadiene, and catalytic stability.

[0044] The catalyst of this application is described in detail below; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This application describes the preparation method of the molecular sieve catalyst for the direct dehydrogenation of n-butane.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the preparation method of this catalyst includes:

[0046] S100. The first metal precursor, the second metal precursor, the structure directing agent and the silicon source are dispersed in water to obtain the first solution.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first metal precursor is a Pt source. In one embodiment, the Pt source can be ammonium hexachloroplatinate. In other embodiments, the Pt source can also be other commonly used Pt metal compounds, all of which can achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0048] The second metal precursor is used to form bimetallic nanoparticles with Pt, which promotes the isolation of Pt atoms on the support and regulates their electronic structure, significantly improving the dehydrogenation performance and stability of the catalyst.

[0049] In one embodiment, the second metal precursor may be selected from one or more combinations of In source, Sn source, Ce source, Zn source and Ga source.

[0050] In one embodiment, the In source can be one or a combination of indium nitrate and indium chloride; the Sn source can be one or a combination of stannous chloride dihydrate and stannous chloride tetrahydrate; the Ce source can be one or a combination of cerium nitrate and cerium chloride; the Zn source can be one or a combination of zinc nitrate hexahydrate and zinc chloride; and the Ga source can be one or a combination of gallium chloride and gallium nitrate hydrate. In other embodiments, the In source, Sn source, Ce source, Zn source, and Ga source can also be other metal compounds commonly used in the art, all of which can achieve the effects of this embodiment.

[0051] The structure-directing agent serves as a template agent, used in conjunction with the silicon source to prepare the all-silicon molecular sieve support S-1 in subsequent steps. In one embodiment, the structure-directing agent can be N-methyltetrapropylammonium bromide; in other embodiments, the structure-directing agent can be a commonly used structure-directing agent such as tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, both of which can achieve the effects of this embodiment.

[0052] In one embodiment, the molar ratio of the first metal precursor, the second metal precursor, the structure directing agent, and the silicon source in the first solution can be: (0.001~0.01): (0~0.009):0.1:1.

[0053] To improve dissolution efficiency, in one embodiment, the first metal precursor, the second metal precursor, and the structure directing agent can be dissolved in water first, and then a silicon source can be added to the solution to obtain a first solution.

[0054] S200. The first solution is heated and stirred in a sealed environment to obtain the second solution.

[0055] The first solution is heated and stirred in a sealed environment to fully hydrolyze the silicon source and initially form a gel system, laying the foundation for molecular sieve crystallization.

[0056] In one embodiment, the heating temperature can be 90~100 ℃, and the stirring time can be 12~14 h.

[0057] S300. Add a fluorine-containing compound solution to the second solution, heat and stir to obtain the third solution.

[0058] S400, the third solution is transferred to a hydrothermal reactor for static crystallization.

[0059] To promote the synthesis of sheet-like molecular sieves and the formation of numerous mesoporous structures, while simultaneously positioning metal nanoparticles within the molecular sieve channels to achieve atomic-level dispersion of the metal nanoparticles and prevent aggregation, this application creatively adds fluorine-containing compounds to the system.

[0060] Firstly, fluoride ions can change the relative growth rate of different crystal planes of molecular sieves, which is beneficial to the synthesis of molecular sieves with plate-like structures. Furthermore, they can etch the pore structure inside the molecular sieve to form a large number of mesopores, which is beneficial to the diffusion of metal ions and the exposure of active sites.

[0061] Secondly, due to the strong coordination effect between fluoride ions and metal ions, the active center of Pt-M bimetallic ions can be effectively located at a specific position on the growing molecular sieve framework, realizing atomic-level dispersion or confinement of ultra-small nanoclusters, achieving in-situ loading, and perfectly solving the core problem of preventing aggregation.

[0062] In one embodiment, the fluorinated compound may be ammonium hydrogen fluoride.

[0063] In one embodiment, the molar ratio of the fluorine-containing compound to the silicon source can be (1~1.6):1.

[0064] In one embodiment, the molar ratio of the first metal precursor, the second metal precursor, the structure directing agent, the silicon source, the fluorine-containing compound, and water in the reaction system can be: (0.001~0.01): (0~0.009):0.1:1:(1~1.6):30.

[0065] In one embodiment, during the heating and stirring step, the stirring temperature can be 90~100 ℃, and the stirring time can be 12~14 h.

[0066] After the reaction system was constructed, the all-silica molecular sieve S-1 was prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal reaction, and the loading of active sites was achieved simultaneously. The preparation of the support and the loading of active sites were completed in one step, which simplified the production process and avoided the losses and uncertainties caused by multiple steps.

[0067] In one embodiment, the crystallization temperature for static crystallization can be 90~100 ℃, and the crystallization time can be 72~96 h.

[0068] S500, collect the crystallized product, wash and dry it, and then calcine it at high temperature to obtain the molecular sieve catalyst.

[0069] After crystallization, the product is washed, dried, and calcined at high temperature to obtain a molecular sieve catalyst.

[0070] In one embodiment, the washing method may be to wash several times with alternating water and acetone, and the drying method may specifically be to filter and then dry at 60~95 ​​℃ for 8~14 h.

[0071] In one embodiment, high-temperature calcination can specifically refer to calcination in a hydrogen atmosphere at a temperature of 550-600°C.

[0072] The molecular sieve catalysts prepared by the in-situ loading strategy-one-pot method based on the above embodiments can anchor the metal active centers within the molecular sieve channels, effectively avoiding deep embedding of metal particles and significantly improving the accessibility of active sites. At the same time, the migration and aggregation of metal atoms are strictly restricted by the molecular sieve channels and cage-like structure, thereby forming sub-nanometer-scale Pt-M particles, resulting in high utilization of metal active sites. Furthermore, the plate-like molecular sieve structure and numerous mesoporous structures facilitate the diffusion of metal ions and the exposure of active sites, resulting in catalysts with high catalytic stability, high catalytic activity, and high 1,3-butadiene selectivity.

[0115] Comparative Example 2:

[0116] A Pt-In@S-1 bimetallic catalyst was prepared using a method basically the same as in Example 1, except that:

[0117] Ammonium hydrogen fluoride was not added to the reaction system.

[0118] Comparative Example 3:

[0119] A Pt-In@S-1 bimetallic catalyst was prepared using the following steps:

[0120] Step 1: Preparation of S-1 molecular sieve

[0121] Add 1.56 g of N-methyltetrapropylammonium bromide (TPAOH) to a container, add 16.6 g of deionized water, and stir until completely dissolved to form a clear solution. While stirring continuously, slowly add 16 g of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) to the above solution. At this time, the solution will become turbid. Then, stir continuously in a closed environment at 90°C for 12 hours to allow TEOS to be fully hydrolyzed.

[0122] Dissolve 4.55 g of ammonium bifluoride in 24.9 g of deionized water to prepare a solution; add this solution dropwise to the above hydrolyzed mixture at a uniform rate, and continue stirring the system at 90 °C under open conditions for 12 hours to evaporate some of the ethanol and form a homogeneous sol.

[0123] The obtained sol was transferred to a 100 mL hydrothermal reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene, sealed, and placed in an oven at 90 °C for static crystallization for 72 hours. After crystallization, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the solid product was removed from the reactor. The solid was repeatedly centrifuged and washed with deionized water until the filtrate was neutral (pH≈7).

[0126] Weigh 0.00077 mol of chloroplatinic acid (H2PtCl6·6H2O), dissolve it in deionized water, add the In2O3 / S-1 intermediate obtained in the first step to the platinum salt solution, and stir at room temperature for 2 hours to ensure thorough wetting; dry the sample at 80℃ for 12 hours; place the dried powder sample in a tube furnace, and under a 10% H2 / Ar atmosphere, program the temperature to 600℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min, and reduce it at this temperature for 3 hours; after the reduction is completed, cool it to room temperature under an inert atmosphere to obtain the final desired Pt-In@S-1 catalyst.

[0127] Example 1: Characterization Analysis

[0128] The morphology of the Pt-In bimetallic catalyst prepared in Example 1 was analyzed, and the results were obtained. Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscope image of the catalyst in Example 1 of this application.

[0129] like Figure 2 As shown, the Pt-In bimetallic catalyst prepared in Example 1 has an overall elongated elliptical sheet-like structure, which proves that the method of Example 1 successfully formed a sheet-like molecular sieve, which facilitates the exposure of active sites.

[0130] Furthermore, to investigate the dispersion of metal nanoparticles in the catalyst of Example 1, infrared spectroscopy analysis was performed on the catalysts prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. Simultaneously, X-ray diffraction analysis was performed on the catalyst prepared in Example 1, yielding... Figure 3 , Figure 3 These are characterization analysis diagrams of Example 1 of this application, wherein the upper diagram is the diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectrum of the catalyst of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, and the lower diagram is the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the catalyst of Example 1.

[0131] like Figure 3 As shown, the catalyst of Comparative Example 1 contained a large number of agglomerated Pt particles, while the catalyst of Example 1 did not show obvious agglomeration or large-sized Pt particles. This indicates that the addition of the second metal -In in Example 1 can help improve the dispersion of Pt atoms.

[0132] Example 2:

[0133] The catalytic activity of the catalysts in Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 was tested using the following methods:

[0134] To ensure the catalyst remained free from air contact after pretreatment, all operations were performed in a fixed-bed microreactor. A 7 mm diameter quartz reaction tube was filled with 50 mg of catalyst diluted with quartz sand (quartz sand to catalyst mass ratio 4:1). Before testing, the catalyst was reduced for 1 h at 600 °C and 0.1 MPa by purging with 50 mL / min of 10% hydrogen (residual gas: 90% argon). After reduction, the bed was purged with inert high-purity argon for 40 min. Finally, the reaction gas was switched to evaluate the catalyst's performance in the dehydrogenation of n-butane to 1,3-butadiene.

[0135] The reaction temperature was 600 °C, and the mass hourly space velocity (HHSV) of n-butane was 5.9 h⁻¹. -1 The pressure was 0.1 MPa, and the volume ratio of n-butane to nitrogen was 1:9. Gas chromatography was used to analyze the composition of the reaction products. Alkanes and alkenes were detected using an FID detector, while carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen were detected using a TCD detector. Nitrogen was used as an internal standard for parameter correction. The experimental results are shown in the table below.

[0136]

[0137] Based on the data in Table 1, the following conclusions can be drawn:

[0138] Among the catalysts listed, the Pt-In@S-1 catalyst prepared in Example 1 exhibited the best overall performance, with an initial n-butane conversion of 74%, a 1,3-butadiene selectivity of 59%, and an extremely long single-pass lifetime (maintaining 70% conversion after 1500 hours), demonstrating excellent stability and catalytic durability.

[0139] Although the Pt-Sn@S-1 prepared in Example 2 had the highest initial conversion rate (88%), its lifetime was significantly shorter than that of the PtIn system.

[0140] The bimetallic catalysts prepared in Examples 1 to 5 showed significantly better activity, selectivity, and single-pass lifetime than the comparative examples.

[0141] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 is a single Pt metal catalyst with low activity, selectivity and single-pass lifetime; while in Example 1, In can promote the isolation of Pt atoms on the support and regulate the electronic structure, which can significantly improve the dehydrogenation performance and stability of the catalyst.

[0142] Compared with Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 2, which did not add ammonium bifluoride, had a significantly lower conversion rate, selectivity, and lifetime than the catalyst in Example 1. This indicates that the introduction of fluorine additives is crucial for constructing a highly active and stable molecular sieve-confined bimetallic structure.

[0143] Compared with Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, Comparative Example 3 first prepared S-1 molecular sieve, and then used an impregnation method to attach metal particles to the surface of the molecular sieve. Its conversion rate, selectivity and lifetime were significantly lower than those of the catalyst in Example 1. This shows that the in-situ supported one-pot method of this application can significantly improve the catalytic activity and stability of the catalyst compared with the traditional impregnation method.
