Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst preparation technology, specifically to an iron-based catalyst for the direct synthesis of olefins from syngas and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Existing processes for converting syngas to olefins mainly fall into two categories: one involves converting olefins via oxygen-containing intermediates such as methanol or dimethyl ether, a process known as MTO (methanol-to-olefins) or DMTO (dimethyl ether-to-olefins), but this route has numerous operational steps and a complex process; the other involves directly producing olefins from syngas using a one-step Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction, which can be categorized into oxide molecular sieve tandem catalyst systems or metal catalyst systems such as iron, cobalt, and ruthenium. Among metal catalysts, iron-based catalysts are widely used in research on one-step syngas-to-olefins processes due to their high activity and low cost.
[0003] Existing patents have made some progress in improving olefin selectivity, for example, by introducing Na promoters into iron-based catalysts; however, research on the suppression and optimization of one-carbon byproducts such as methane and carbon dioxide in the syngas-to-olefins process is still limited. Conventional methods to suppress CO2 generation include increasing the carbon content of the CO2 in the feed gas, which reduces the carbon utilization rate of the catalyst; or constructing a hydrophobic layer such as a Si-based support in the catalyst, which inevitably reduces the intrinsic activity of the catalyst. Highly selective olefin products are crucial for industrial applications, and the generation of byproducts such as methane and carbon dioxide not only reduces carbon efficiency but also increases the cost of separation and treatment.
[0004] In summary, existing technologies face the problem of high selectivity for one-carbon byproducts (methane and carbon dioxide) and low selectivity for olefins in one-step synthesis of olefins from syngas. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of high selectivity of one-carbon byproducts and low selectivity of olefins in the one-step synthesis of olefins from syngas in the prior art, thereby providing an iron-based catalyst for the direct synthesis of olefins from syngas, its preparation method and application.

Mixed solution a is then mixed with a nitrate solution b to undergo a coprecipitation reaction, resulting in a coprecipitation slurry. The obtained coprecipitation slurry is centrifuged, washed, and dried to obtain a catalyst precursor. The obtained catalyst precursor is then calcined to obtain the iron-based catalyst. In mixed solution a, the mass ratio of polymer to iron salt is 1:0.6-40.
[0007] In some embodiments of the present invention, the polymer solution includes one of polyvinylpyrrolidone solution, glucose solution, and polyethylene glycol solution; The polymer solution has a viscosity-average molecular weight of 8,000-80,000 and a concentration of 40-200 g / L.
[0008] In some embodiments of the present invention, the iron salt solution is a solution with one or more of the following as solutes: ammonium ferrohydride, potassium ferrocyanide, sodium ferrocyanide, potassium ferricyanide, and sodium ferricyanide, and the concentration of the iron salt solution is 0.015-0.5 mol / L.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reaction conditions for the coprecipitation reaction include: a coprecipitation temperature of 20-80°C, a reaction time of 20-120 min, and the reaction being carried out under stirring conditions.
[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, the centrifugation speed is 2000-10000 r / min, and the centrifugation time is 2-10 min; the washing is performed by washing with deionized water and / or ethanol 2-10 times. The drying temperature is 50-150℃, and the drying time is 8-20 hours.
[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, the calcination temperature is 400-650°C and the calcination time is 1-10 hours.
[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, the calcination temperature is 450-600°C, and the calcination is carried out under an inert atmosphere; The inert atmosphere is selected from argon, ammonia, nitrogen, and helium.
[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in a second aspect, an iron-based catalyst for the direct synthesis of olefins from syngas is provided, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method.
[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in a third aspect, the application of the above-described catalyst in the one-step synthesis of olefins from syngas is provided, wherein the specific conditions for the one-step process are: a temperature of 250-340°C and a space velocity of 5000-400000 h⁻¹. -1The pressure is 0.1-5.5 MPa, the ratio of H2 to CO in the synthesis gas is 0.5-3:1, and the reactor used in the one-step process is a fixed bed reactor, a slurry bed reactor, or a fluidized bed reactor.
[0016] The technical solution of this invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention provides a method for preparing an iron-based catalyst for the direct synthesis of olefins from syngas, comprising the following steps: preparing a polymer solution and an iron salt solution, mixing them to obtain a mixed solution a, mixing the mixed solution a with a nitrate solution b to undergo a coprecipitation reaction, obtaining a coprecipitate slurry; centrifuging, washing, and drying the obtained coprecipitate slurry to obtain a catalyst precursor; calcining the obtained catalyst precursor to obtain the iron-based catalyst; wherein, the mass ratio of polymer to iron salt in the mixed solution a is 1:0.6-40.
[0017] This invention innovatively employs an in-situ polymer introduction method as a nitrate promoter to prepare the catalyst, significantly enhancing the synergistic effect between the nitrate promoter and the active component of the iron-based catalyst. This effectively reduces the selectivity of the catalyst for CO2 and methane in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction, while also effectively improving the selectivity for the target olefin. The mechanism by which this invention achieves the above effects may be that by using the polymer as a structure directing agent, through its interaction with the precursor during the preparation process, precise control and high dispersion of the catalyst particle structure are effectively realized, inhibiting particle aggregation and sintering during pyrolysis, and ensuring the structural stability of the final catalyst, the high dispersion of the active phase, and excellent catalytic performance.
[0018] 2. The iron-based catalyst for the direct synthesis of olefins from syngas provided by this invention is a stable single-phase catalyst, which effectively ensures the structural stability of the catalyst in the one-step synthesis of olefins from syngas, making it less prone to phase change or deactivation, thereby improving the service life and reaction performance of the catalyst.
[0019] 3. This invention provides an application of the catalyst prepared by the above method in the one-step synthesis of olefins from syngas. This invention reduces the selectivity of CO2 and methane in the one-step synthesis of olefins from syngas, while improving the catalytic activity and the selectivity of the target olefin.

[0045] Table 1 Catalyst Evaluation Results
[0046] Among them, olefin selectivity refers to the selectivity of olefins in total hydrocarbons.
[0047] As shown in Table 1, compared with the iron-based catalyst in the comparative example, the single-phase iron carbide catalyst prepared by this method exhibits low CO2 selectivity and high olefin selectivity in the one-step synthesis of olefins from syngas. The main reason for this is that the catalyst prepared by this method is initially a single-phase iron carbide (Fe3C in Example 3, see...). Figure 2The minimal presence of Fe3O4 phase results in the lowest possible CO2 selectivity. Furthermore, the catalyst promoters prepared by this method are highly dispersed on the catalyst surface, preventing agglomeration and achieving better results. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the catalyst was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (FEI Talos F200A), and the distribution pattern of each element was obtained by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). In Example 3, the auxiliary agent zinc was highly dispersed on the surface of iron carbide, while in Comparative Example 1, zinc agglomerated into lumps and separated from iron carbide.
[0048] The crystal structure of the catalyst was characterized using a Bruker D8 Advance X-ray diffractometer (Germany). A cobalt target was used as the X-ray source, and powder diffraction patterns of the samples were acquired at room temperature. Figure 1 The XRD patterns of the catalyst precursors prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4 illustrate that the catalyst precursors have similar structures. Figure 2 The image shows the XRD pattern of the catalyst prepared in Example 3 after undergoing Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Figure 2 The results show that the catalyst prepared in Example 3, after Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, is a single-phase iron carbide, and its XRD pattern indicates a Fe3C structure. The performance evaluation of the catalyst in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor. Figure 3 The figure shows the trend of conversion rate of the catalyst prepared in Example 3 during the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction. Figure 3 The results show that the conversion rate of the catalyst prepared in Example 3 remained basically stable during the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction over 100 hours.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
