Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, specifically to an Sr-composite molecular sieve catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Low-carbon olefins are important basic chemical raw materials. Methanol-to-olefins (MTO) is a key technology for producing low-carbon olefins via non-petroleum cracking routes, which can effectively alleviate the current contradiction between oil supply and demand. In the MTO reaction, SAPO-34 molecular sieve is a commonly used catalyst, but it has obvious limitations: its eight-membered ring microporous structure restricts the diffusion of aromatic hydrocarbon intermediates, causing these intermediates to accumulate in the pores. This not only causes pore blockage but also covers the acidic active sites of the catalyst, ultimately leading to carbon deposition and deactivation, significantly shortening the catalyst lifetime.
[0003] To address this issue, modification of SAPO-34 molecular sieves has become an important research direction. Appropriate modification can suppress coking reactions, reduce the frequency of catalyst circulation between the reactor and regenerator, and thus extend its service life. However, single modification methods have many shortcomings, such as easily leading to damage to the molecular sieve crystal structure, easy deposition of modified species, and difficulty in enriching surface chemical properties. In contrast, composite molecular sieves, as an emerging catalytic material, exhibit excellent performance in numerous catalytic reactions. They not only enhance the properties of molecular sieves... The synergistic effect of acids and Lewis acids enhances catalytic efficiency; it can also shorten the distance between different active components, allowing reactant molecules to reach active sites more quickly and accelerating the reaction process, providing a new approach to solving the bottleneck problem of MTO catalysts.
[0004] Patent application CN 105439788 B discloses a method for improving the olefin selectivity of the product in the methanol-to-olefins reaction. This method involves loading a SAPO-34 catalyst into a reactor, pre-purging with nitrogen at a rate of 50 mL / min for 2-3 hours at 500°C, and then purging with nitrogen at a mass hourly space velocity (HHSV) of 1 h⁻¹ under conditions of 350-550°C and 0.01 MPa-0.3 MPa. -1 Methanol and an additive are mixed and introduced into a reactor to react and produce olefins. This method can be used to improve the olefin selectivity of the product. However, the SAPO-34 catalyst used in this invention has poor stability and a short service life. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a catalyst with strong stability and long service life in the methanol-to-olefin process. Summary of the Invention

[0124] Test case
[0125] (1) In this invention, the content of each component in the reaction products obtained by the examples and comparative examples is analyzed simultaneously using a dual-channel detector of gas chromatography, and the peak area normalization method is used for quantitative analysis of the products. The propylene yield when the methanol conversion rate is 100% is calculated. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0126] (2) The present invention tested the reaction time to maintain a methanol conversion rate of over 95%, and then tested the lifespan of the Sr-composite molecular sieve catalysts prepared in Examples 1-11 and Comparative Examples 1-3, as well as the composite molecular sieve catalyst prepared in Comparative Example 4.

[0127] Table 1
[0128]
[0129]
[0130] As can be seen from the results in Table 1, the Sr-composite molecular sieve catalyst prepared by the method described in this invention has the characteristics of excellent catalytic activity, high selectivity for low-carbon olefins, strong stability and long service life, which are highly compatible with the needs of large-scale industrial production and show significant economic value and broad industrial application prospects.
[0131] Compared to Example 1, in the preparation of Sr-composite molecular sieve catalysts, Examples 4 and 5 changed the amount of morpholine and tetrapropylammonium hydroxide added, respectively. Excess morpholine and tetrapropylammonium hydroxide may lead to problems such as overly complex pore structure, incomplete crystallization, and changes in acidic sites. Example 6 changed the weight ratio of the first mixture and the second mixture in step (3), which caused the catalyst to lose the balance between catalytic activity and stability. Example 7 changed the amount of kaolin added in step (3), resulting in poor stability. Example 8 changed the concentration of strontium acetate aqueous solution in step (4). Excessive Sr may lead to problems such as reduced acidic sites, pore blockage, and decreased activity. Comparative Example 3 did not have step (3), resulting in reduced stability. All of these will affect the yield of propylene and the catalytic life to a certain extent.
[0132] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the inventive concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
