Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petrochemicals, specifically relating to a Pt-Ni2P / Beta n-hexane hydroisomerization catalyst with coexisting single atoms and clusters, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous improvement of automotive industry and refined oil quality standards, the requirements for the research octane number (RON) of gasoline are gradually increasing. Traditional methods of increasing octane number by blending aromatics, olefins, or oxygen-containing compounds (such as MTBE and alcohol ethers) are no longer sufficient to simultaneously meet the environmental requirements and engine compatibility needs under National VI and subsequent stricter standards. Light, straight-chain alkanes, represented by n-hexane, are present in high concentrations in gasoline fractions but have low octane numbers. Without deep isomerization, they severely limit the overall quality of finished gasoline. Hexane hydroisomerization can convert straight-chain alkanes into multi-branched isoalkanes under mild conditions, significantly increasing the gasoline octane number while avoiding the problem of excessive aromatic content caused by aromatization. Therefore, it is considered one of the core processes for producing clean, high-octane gasoline.
[0003] Pt / Cl commonly used in industry - Catalytic systems such as Al2O3 and Pt / SO2-4-ZrO2, while exhibiting high activity, also present several challenges: First, chlorine and sulfur additives are corrosive and environmentally hazardous, easily causing equipment corrosion and increasing the burden of waste treatment. Second, an excessive number of strong acid centers on the support can induce side reactions such as cracking, reducing isomer selectivity and exacerbating carbon deposition and deactivation. Third, the large amount of precious metal Pt required results in high costs, and under high temperature and impurity conditions, metal particles are prone to sintering and growth, which is detrimental to the long-term stable operation of the equipment. Traditional isomerization catalysts typically consist of two parts: a solid acid component responsible for framework rearrangement and a metal component serving as hydrogenation centers. Many isomerization catalysts inevitably require a high loading of the precious metal Pt as the metal component. How to prepare low-cost catalysts with high hydrogenation activity to completely convert n-hexane into isoalkanes and increase the octane number has long been a research hotspot in the petrochemical field. Summary of the Invention

[0022] (2) By constructing the Ni2P phase on the Beta molecular sieve and dispersing trace Pt in the form of single atoms and small clusters on the Ni2P / Beta surface, a metal-phosphide-acid multi-interface structure with hydrogen overflow effect is formed. Under the premise of significantly reducing the amount of noble metal Pt, the hydrogen activation ability and metal-acid synergy are significantly improved, resulting in higher n-hexane conversion rate and isomer selectivity, and cracking side reactions are effectively suppressed.

[0037]
[0038] Example 1
[0039] (1) At 25°C, 0.198 g of nickel nitrate hexahydrate calculated according to the required loading amount was first dissolved in deionized water and stirred to obtain a clear solution; then nitric acid solution (mass fraction of 65~68wt.%) was added dropwise to adjust the pH value of the solution to 3, and 0.18 g of diammonium hydrogen phosphate precursor was added under stirring to completely dissolve it without producing a precipitate. Stirring was continued for 1 h to obtain a Ni-P precursor mixed solution.
[0040] (2) Take 2g of H-type Beta molecular sieve and place it in a crucible. Then add the above Ni-P precursor mixed solution dropwise and stir for 10min to make it reach the same volume impregnation state. Then let it stand at room temperature and air dry for 12h. After drying at 80℃ for 8h, calcine at 450℃ in air atmosphere for 4h. After cooling to room temperature, reduce at 600℃ in hydrogen atmosphere (50 mL / min) for 2h to obtain Ni2P / Beta.
[0041] (3) At 25°C, 0.010 g of platinum acetylacetonate was dissolved in acetone and stirred to obtain a clear solution. The platinum acetylacetonate solution was added dropwise to the above Ni2P / Beta and stirred for 10 min to achieve an equal volume impregnation state. Then, it was allowed to stand at room temperature and air-dried for 12 h. After drying at 80°C for 4 h, it was calcined at 500°C for 2 h in an air atmosphere. After cooling to room temperature, it was reduced at 360°C for 2 h in a hydrogen atmosphere (50 mL / min) to obtain Pt-Ni2P / Beta.
[0042] 1 g of Pt-Ni2P / Beta catalyst was packed into a fixed-bed reactor and reduced at 330 °C for 2 h in a hydrogen atmosphere (38 mL / min). The temperature was then lowered to 300 °C, and hexane model oil was injected using a metering pump at a flow rate of 0.051 mL / min and a hydrogen / oil molar ratio of 4:1 under 2.0 MPa conditions for 2 h. After the reaction, the product was collected from the outlet, condensed, and separated. The concentration of hexane in the model oil was analyzed by gas chromatography. The calculated hexane conversion rate was 79%, and the isomer selectivity was 97%, achieving efficient hydroisomerization of hexane.
[0043] The Pt-Ni2P / Beta catalyst prepared in Example 1 was subjected to XRD testing, and the results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, all samples exhibited characteristic diffraction peaks corresponding to the BEA topology at 2θ around 7–8°, 22–23°, and 25°, indicating that the Beta molecular sieve framework structure remained intact after the introduction of Ni2P and subsequent loading of Pt and reduction treatment, without any phase transformation or severe collapse. Furthermore, no characteristic diffraction peaks attributable to Ni2P or Pt crystal phase particles were observed within the tested 2θ range, suggesting that Ni2P and Pt species exist at a highly dispersed nanoscale, with grain sizes smaller than the XRD detection limit.
[0044] The Pt-Ni2P / Beta prepared in Example 1 was analyzed by NH3-TPD and Py-FTIR. Figure 2 As shown, after introducing the active component, the catalyst exhibits two main desorption peaks distinguishable between 100-200 °C and 400-650 °C, corresponding to weak acid sites and strong acid sites, respectively. This indicates that Pt-Ni2P / Beta possesses abundant weak acid and strong acid sites. Furthermore, combined with... Figure 3 As shown, Py-FTIR at 1450 cm⁻¹ -1 1490cm -1 and 1540 cm -1 The peaks at 1450 cm⁻¹ correspond to the characteristic peaks of Lewis acid, B / L common peak, and Brønsted acid, respectively. -1 The peak intensity is significantly higher than 1540 cm⁻¹ -1This indicates that the Pt-Ni2P / Beta surface is dominated by Lewis acid while retaining a certain number of Brønsted acid sites, providing the necessary acidic structural basis for metal-acid co-isomerization.
[0045] TEM experiments were performed on the Pt-Ni2P / Beta catalyst prepared in Example 1, such as... Figure 4 As shown, since heavy materials have high brightness in dark-field transmission electron microscopy, single atoms and clusters of Pt are uniformly loaded on the surface of Ni2P nanoparticles. Furthermore, there is a certain distance between Ni2P particles, and they are uniformly dispersed on the surface of the molecular sieve.
