Description

Technical Field

[0002] Olefins are fundamental petrochemical chemicals used as intermediates in the production of polymers, plastics, detergents, and solvents. Their applications are widespread, and the growing demand for plastics necessitates a sustainable supply of olefins. Olefins are typically produced via the steam cracking (SC) of naphtha. However, depleted fossil fuel reserves and rapidly increasing CO2 emissions have prompted the adoption of alternative non-petroleum feedstock routes, such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis to olefins (FTSO). Catalysts are the most critical component for efficient, commercial-scale olefin production via FTS. Catalysts need to be tuned for olefin selectivity by altering chain growth and limiting secondary hydrogenation reactions.

[0003] Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using iron-based catalysts has been a research hotspot in recent decades, as iron-based catalysts are more suitable for high-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis compared to other catalysts. However, iron-based catalysts prepared by co-precipitation methods suffer from poor thermal stability, short service life, and poor olefin selectivity.

[0115] Application Example 1

[0116] Weigh 0.5g of the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 respectively, and press them at 5-20MPa for 10-30min; then crush and sieve to obtain 20-40 mesh catalyst particles, and mechanically mix them with 1.0g of quartz sand particles pretreated by calcination at 400℃ for 2h and sieved to 20-40 mesh, and then load them into a fixed-bed reactor; introduce pure hydrogen gas at a flow rate of 40mL / min and feed gas (H2 / CO molar ratio of 3, containing 5% argon as a raw material) at a flow rate of 10mL / min. The catalyst was heated to 275°C (internal standard) at a heating rate of 2°C / min and reduced in situ for 10 h. After reduction, it was cooled to room temperature under a N2 atmosphere at a heating rate of 20 mL / min. Before the carbon monoxide hydrogenation reaction, the feed gas was switched to (H2 / CO molar ratio of 3, containing 5% argon as an internal standard), and the reactor pressure was adjusted to 3 MPa. Then, the temperature of the reaction tube was raised to 275°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min, and the carbon dioxide hydrogenation performance of the catalyst was tested. The reaction space velocity (GHSV) was 6500 mL·h. -1 ·g -1The test was performed from the start of the reaction, and then every hour thereafter. The reaction ran for 50 hours. After removing the first hour, the average value of the entire reaction was taken as the test result of the catalyst, as shown in Table 1.

[0118]

[0119] As can be seen from the results in Table 1, the catalysts obtained using Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 have higher all-olefin selectivity and CO conversion than those using Comparative Examples 1-3. Furthermore, the catalysts prepared using the present invention have lower CO2 selectivity and CH4 selectivity, higher CO conversion, and stronger stability over long-term reactions.

[0120] Based on the test results of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 after running for 50 hours, the following results were obtained: Figure 1 The graph shown illustrates the change in CO conversion rate of the catalyst over operating time. Figure 1 It can be seen that the CO conversion rate of the catalysts obtained in Examples 1 and 2 did not change much with the reaction time during the 50-hour reaction process. The conversion rate was almost unaffected and even improved during the 50-hour reaction process, indicating good stability.

[0121] Application Example 2

[0122] Weigh 0.5g of the catalyst prepared in Example 1 above and press it at 10MPa for 20min; then crush and sieve to obtain 30-mesh catalyst particles, and mechanically mix them with 1.0g of quartz sand particles that have been pretreated by calcination at 400℃ for 2h and sieved to 30-mesh. The mixture is then loaded into a fixed-bed reactor. Pure hydrogen is introduced at a flow rate of 40mL / min, and feed gas (H2 / CO molar ratio of 3, containing 5% argon as an internal standard) is introduced at a flow rate of 10mL / min, while the flow rate is 2℃ / min. The heating rate of n was increased to 275℃ for in-situ reduction for 10 h; after reduction, it was cooled to room temperature under a N2 atmosphere at a rate of 20 mL / min; before the carbon monoxide hydrogenation reaction, the feed gas was switched to (H2 / CO molar ratio of 2, containing 5% argon as an internal standard), and the reactor pressure was adjusted to 3 MPa; then, the temperature of the reaction tube was increased to 275℃ at a heating rate of 10℃ / min, and the carbon dioxide hydrogenation performance of the catalyst was tested, with a reaction space velocity (GHSV) of 13000 mL·h. -1 ·g -1 The test was conducted from the start of the reaction, and then every hour thereafter. The reaction ran for 50 hours. After removing the first hour, the average value of the entire reaction was taken as the test result of the catalyst, as shown in Table 2.

[0123] Table 2

[0124]

[0125] With an H2 / CO molar ratio of 2 and a reaction space velocity (GHSV) of 13000 mL·h, -1 ·g -1 Under the reaction conditions described in Example 1, the all-olefin selectivity of the catalyst was further enhanced, and the average conversion rate remained stable at over 60%.

[0126] As can be seen from the above, the catalyst prepared by the method of the present invention can not only be applied to the conventional carbon monoxide hydrogenation reaction, but also adapt to high space velocity reaction processes.
