Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular sieve technology, specifically to a composite molecular sieve and its preparation method, a hydroisomerization catalyst, and a method for hydroisomerization of Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oil. Background Technology

[0002] Molecular sieve materials, due to their high acidity and high specific surface area, are excellent acid catalysts and are widely used in hydroisomerization reactions. Among them, one-dimensional ten-membered ring pore structure molecular sieves such as ZSM-22, ZSM-23, and ZSM-48 are often used as isomerization catalyst supports in isomerization reactions due to their special pore structure and acidity.

[0003] The long, one-dimensional straight pore size of ZSM-48 molecular sieves results in high diffusion resistance for long-chain alkanes. While the pore openings exhibit high selectivity for isomers, high-carbon-number isomers have difficulty passing through, hindering product diffusion. Currently, most modifications to ZSM-48 molecular sieves focus on the synthesis of low-silica, hierarchical ZSM-48 molecular sieves. Although basic modifications to molecular sieves can achieve better catalytic performance, modifications to the pore structure and modulation of acid properties still have limitations. When applied to the production of base oils from high-carbon-number Fischer-Tropsch waxes, selectivity and product yield remain low.

[0004] Patent application CN104418341A discloses a ZSM-48 / Silicalite-1 composite molecular sieve and its preparation method. The composite molecular sieve uses a low silica-to-alumina ratio ZSM-48 molecular sieve as the core phase and Silicalite-1 as the shell phase. The total specific surface area of ​​this composite molecular sieve is 330–400 m². 2 With a total pore volume of 0.22–0.28 ml / g and an average pore size of 2.5–3.5 nm, this composite molecular sieve exhibits excellent shape selectivity and resistance to coking, and has potential industrial application value in alkylation and isomerization reactions.

[0005] Patent application CN106669814A discloses a method for preparing ZSM-48 / Y composite molecular sieves. The method involves high-temperature calcination of ZSM-48 molecular sieves, followed by contacting unsaturated olefins with the calcined ZSM-48 molecular sieves and conducting a calcination and coking reaction in an inert gas atmosphere. The ZSM-48 molecular sieves are then subjected to surface dealuminization treatment to obtain modified ZSM-48 molecular sieves. The modified ZSM-48 molecular sieve powder, aluminum source, sodium hydroxide, and water are stirred to obtain a reaction mixture gel system, which is aged under sealed conditions, then crystallized, and finally cooled, washed, dried, and calcined to obtain the ZSM-48 / Y composite molecular sieve. This method produces a composite zeolite molecular sieve that organically combines the isomerism of ZSM-48 molecular sieves with the cracking properties of Y-type molecular sieves, and can be applied to the production of high-quality lubricating oil base oils in hydrocracking petroleum refining processes.

[0006] Patent application CN112934258A discloses an MCM-41 / ZSM-48 composite molecular sieve, whose core contains a modified ZSM-48 molecular sieve and whose outer shell contains an MCM-41 molecular sieve. This allows for the control of the interface and spatial position between the microporous and mesoporous molecular sieves, providing spatial structure and strong and weak acid centers for the isomerization of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis oils. The composite zeolite molecular sieve prepared by this method organically combines the isomerization properties of ZSM-48 molecular sieves with the cracking properties of Y-type molecular sieves, and can be applied to the production of high-quality lubricating oil base oils in the hydrocracking petroleum refining process.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel molecular sieve material to improve the activity and selectivity of catalysts. Summary of the Invention

[0024] ZSM-5 molecular sieves are widely used in the isomerization and aromatization of olefins. However, their high acid strength and acid content can lead to excessive cracking reactions, affecting the liquid yield of the product. For isomerization reactions, ZSM-5 molecular sieves often require metal doping or acid treatment for dealumination to adjust the acid content and strength. ZSM-48 molecular sieves, with their mild acidity, can minimize cracking reactions, thus improving liquid yield. In hydroisomerization reactions, their one-dimensional through-holes also exhibit high selectivity for isoalkanes. However, the diffusion limitation of ZSM-48 molecular sieves, leading to coking and pore blockage, is one of the problems that urgently needs to be solved in one-dimensional ten-membered ring zeolites.

[0025] The first aspect of this invention provides a method for preparing composite molecular sieves, the method comprising the following steps: (1) A first silicon source, a first aluminum source, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, 1,6-hexanediamine, sodium hydroxide and a first solvent are mixed in a first process to obtain a first crystallization stock solution. The first crystallization stock solution is subjected to a first crystallization, a first drying and a first calcination in sequence to obtain a ZSM-48 molecular sieve core. The molar ratio of SiO2 to Al2O3 in the ZSM-48 molecular sieve core is 60~150:1. The shape of the ZSM-48 molecular sieve core is ellipsoidal and the major axis is 500-2000 nm. (2) The second silicon source, the second aluminum source, tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, ZSM-5 nanocrystals and the second solvent are mixed in a second process to obtain a precursor solution; (3) The precursor solution and the ZSM-48 molecular sieve core are mixed in a third process to obtain a second crystallization stock solution; the second crystallization stock solution is subjected to a second crystallization, a second drying and a second calcination in sequence to form a ZSM-5 molecular sieve shell on the surface of the ZSM-48 molecular sieve core, wherein the molar ratio of SiO2 to Al2O3 in the ZSM-5 molecular sieve shell is ≥200; (4) The material obtained in step (3) is subjected to ion exchange with an ammonium salt solution to obtain a composite molecular sieve; The first crystallization process includes: performing static crystallization and dynamic crystallization sequentially; The second crystallization process includes: performing a first-stage crystallization at 20~50℃, then performing a second-stage crystallization at 55~80℃, and then performing a third-stage crystallization by heating to 160~180℃ at a heating rate of ≤2℃ / min.

[0026] Traditional physical mixed catalysts (such as ZSM-48 / ZSM-5) suffer from acidic site conflicts and weak interfacial synergistic effects. This invention creatively proposes a method for preparing a composite molecular sieve. The composite molecular sieve prepared by this method has a core-shell structure, with an ellipsoidal ZSM-48 molecular sieve as the core and a thin-layer high-silica ZSM-5 molecular sieve as the shell. This solves the one-dimensional pore diffusion limitation and provides both pre-pyrolysis and shape-selective protection functions.

[0027] Specifically, in the preparation method provided by this invention, a ZSM-48 molecular sieve core is first prepared, and then epitaxial growth is induced by pre-adsorption of ZSM-5 nanocrystal seeds at low temperature. Combined with low-temperature-high-temperature segmented crystallization to control the shell thickness, the lattice mismatch problem between ZSM-48 (MRE structure) and ZSM-5 (MFI structure) is solved, and the core-shell interface chemical bonding is achieved. Furthermore, through seed-guided technology, the independent nucleation of ZSM-5 is suppressed, and the shell coverage is increased to >90%.

The catalyst support is impregnated in a noble metal salt solution, and then subjected to a fourth drying and a fourth calcination to obtain a hydroisomerization catalyst.

[0077] In some specific embodiments, no special requirements are placed on the conditions for the extrusion, third drying, and third calcination; they can be carried out according to conventional conditions in the art.
