Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial low-carbon alkane conversion thermocatalytic materials, specifically relating to a heterogeneous catalyst with borosilicate molecular sieve supported on metal oxides and its preparation method, as well as the application of the heterogeneous catalyst in propane oxidative dehydrogenation. Background Technology

[0002] Propylene is a key commodity chemical in the petrochemical industry. Light olefins (ethylene, propylene, and butadiene, etc.) are important raw materials for organic chemical production. Propylene is the second most used petrochemical raw material after ethylene and is a basic raw material for the three major synthetic materials. It is mainly used to produce polypropylene, acrylonitrile, propylene oxide, acrylic acid, acetone, isopropanol, etc. These downstream products have characteristics such as low specific gravity, easy processing, water resistance, and good electrical insulation. They are gradually replacing traditional materials such as steel, cement, and cotton products, and are widely used in plastics manufacturing, medical devices, textiles, and other fields, closely related to daily life. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the application of propylene will extend to more fields, and its demand will continue to increase. Among the many fine chemicals produced from propylene, polypropylene accounts for the vast majority of production. The most important downstream derivatives of propylene are films, injection molded products, and textiles, which are the main demand areas for polypropylene. With the continuous development of my country's economy, the demand for pipes, thin nonwoven fabrics, and other fields is also gradually increasing. In the future, polypropylene will remain the main driver of propylene demand growth. Propylene oxide is mainly used in industries such as surfactants, pesticides, chemicals, and daily chemicals. The hydrogen peroxide oxidation method for producing propylene oxide (HPPO method) is not only environmentally friendly, solving the pollution and corrosion problems of traditional processes, but also has low energy consumption. The propylene oxide industry is expected to maintain a positive outlook in the future. Acrylonitrile is used to manufacture ABS plastics, acrylic fibers, and acrylamide. Benefiting from the expansion of the downstream ABS plastics industry, there is currently a significant increase in domestic acrylonitrile production capacity. Acrylic acid is an unsaturated carboxylic acid and an important intermediate in organic synthesis. In recent years, the market demand for downstream propylene products, especially superabsorbent resins, has grown rapidly, further increasing the demand for acrylic acid. The booming development of downstream propylene product industries has further increased the demand for propylene. The propylene produced by traditional processes such as naphtha steam cracking and refinery catalytic cracking is far from meeting the demand. Faced with the widening supply-demand gap, more simple and efficient propylene production technologies are needed.

[0003] Currently, propane dehydrogenation is considered one of the most promising propylene production processes. With the large-scale development of shale gas, propane prices have become low. Propylene is the main product in propane dehydrogenation, with a high propylene yield, and the byproduct hydrogen can be used in the new energy industry. While direct propane dehydrogenation is already industrialized, it is a thermodynamically constrained, strongly endothermic process requiring high temperatures to achieve high conversion rates. Furthermore, high temperatures can lead to catalyst carbon buildup. Conversely, propane oxidative dehydrogenation is an exothermic reaction, not thermodynamically constrained, and theoretically can achieve high conversion rates at lower temperatures without the carbon buildup problem.

[0004] Currently, catalysts used in the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to propylene are mainly divided into metal oxide catalysts and non-metal oxide catalysts. Metal oxide catalysts mainly include V / Al2O3, V2O5 / SiO2, Mo / h-BN, etc., but metal oxides often have high activation temperatures, and their strong oxidizing properties can lead to over-oxidation, resulting in very low propylene yields.

[0005] The V2O5 / SiO2 catalyst disclosed in Applied Catalysis A: General., 2001, 209, 155–164, at 550 °C... o At C, when the propane conversion rate is 30.9%, the propylene selectivity is only 35.4%.

[0006] The V / BN catalyst disclosed in (JACS Au., 2022, 2, 5, 1096–1104) at 560 o At C, the propane conversion and propylene selectivity were 18.0% and 45.5%, respectively.

[0007] CN02136598.9 discloses a method for preparing a nanocatalyst for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to propylene, and applies it to the propane oxidative dehydrogenation reaction. It uses SBA series pure silica nanoporous materials as the catalyst support, achieving a propylene yield between 10% and 32%, but the reaction temperature needs to reach 600°C. o Above C, and the catalyst is prone to deactivation. Studies have found that the catalytic performance of metal oxide catalysts depends on the properties of the support. Boron-based catalysts have moderate surface acidity and special BO active sites, which can effectively inhibit deep oxidation.

[0008] CN202210638558 discloses a borosilicate molecular sieve catalyst with an amorphous structure. The mesoporous and microporous hierarchical structure of this catalyst can promote the reaction and product diffusion. At a temperature of 520°C... O When C,C3H8:O2=1.5, the propane conversion rate is 4.4% and the propylene selectivity is 85.2%. Although the reaction can be carried out at a lower temperature, the catalytic activity is low.

[0009] (Science., 2021, 372, 76–80) discloses a BS-1 catalyst that reacts at a temperature of 560 °C. o At C, the propane conversion rate was 41.4% and the propylene selectivity was 54.9%, which still resulted in a relatively low propylene yield.

[0010] For the process of propane dehydrogenation to propylene, the existing technology still has technical problems such as low product conversion rate, low yield, low selectivity, low activity and poor stability, which limit the widespread application of catalysts. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop and prepare a catalyst that can have high propane oxidative dehydrogenation activity and high propylene selectivity at a lower temperature.

The resulting gel is then poured into a hydrothermal reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene and crystallized at 150°C for 72 hours. The active component boron is directly fixed in the lattice of the molecular sieve framework through hydrothermal synthesis. After filtration and washing, the gel is dried in an oven at 80°C for 12 hours and then calcined in an air tube furnace at 550°C for 2 hours to obtain a borosilicate molecular sieve carrier. Step b): Dissolve vanadium oxide, molybdenum oxide, and gallium oxide salts in a solution, stir until homogeneous, and then add the solution to the borosilicate molecular sieve support prepared in step a). Heat in a water bath to load the active metal oxide components onto the surface of the borosilicate molecular sieve through impregnation. The process is carried out at 80°C. o After being placed in an oven at C for 12 hours, the product was calcined in an air tube furnace at 550℃ for 6 hours.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0025] This invention provides a heterogeneous catalyst with metal oxide supported on a borosilicate molecular sieve. The catalyst is composed of a support and a metal oxide, wherein the support is a borosilicate molecular sieve BSilicate-1. The heterogeneous catalyst of this invention is obtained by supporting the metal oxide on the borosilicate molecular sieve, with the loading amount of the metal oxide being 0.1% to 5%. The catalyst provided by this invention uses the metal oxide as the active component and disperses it uniformly on the surface of the borosilicate molecular sieve, which can promote the dispersion and stability of the active sites.

[0030] This invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned multiphase catalyst, comprising the following steps: Step a): The silicon source, boron source and organic template agent are mixed evenly in a certain proportion to obtain a gel. The resulting gel is then poured into a hydrothermal reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene and crystallized at 150°C for 72 hours. The active component boron is directly fixed in the lattice of the molecular sieve framework through hydrothermal synthesis.

Propane oxidative dehydrogenation activity test 100 mg of the catalyst xVO x / BSilicate-1 (where x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3) was mixed with 1g of quartz sand (60-80 mesh) and then loaded into a fixed-bed reaction tube. The tube was placed in a fixed-bed reactor for pretreatment and activation under the following conditions: at room temperature, nitrogen was introduced at a flow rate of 15 mL / min and the temperature was increased at a rate not exceeding 10 °C / min. The temperature was stabilized at 520 °C for at least 20 minutes. A reaction mixture was then introduced, consisting of propane, oxygen, and nitrogen, with a C3H8:O2 ratio of 1:1.5 and a space velocity of 2000 mL / (g·h).

The mixture was then cooled to room temperature, filtered, washed until no obvious foam was observed, dried in an oven at 80℃ for 12 hours, and finally calcined in air at 550℃ for 2 hours at a heating rate of 10℃ / min. The resulting MFI topological structure silica molecular sieve was denoted as Silicate-1.

[0054] b) 1.5VO x Preparation of Silicate-1 catalyst: 34.74 mg of ammonium metavanadate was weighed and mixed with 15 g of deionized water. The mixture was magnetically stirred in a constant temperature water bath at 25 °C for 30 minutes to form a homogeneous solution at a stirring speed of 500 rpm. 1 g of Silicate-1 was added to the ammonium metavanadate solution, and the mixture was magnetically stirred in a constant temperature water bath at 80 °C for 2 hours to impregnate Silicate-1 with vanadium oxide at a loading of 1.5%. The resulting material was dried in an oven at 80 °C for 12 h and finally calcined at 550 °C in air for 2 h to obtain a heterogeneous catalyst of vanadium oxide supported on pure silica molecular sieve, with the molecular formula 1.5VO. x / Silicate-1.

[0055] 2. Propane oxidative dehydrogenation activity test 100 mg of catalyst was mixed with 1 g of quartz sand (60-80 mesh) and loaded into a fixed-bed reaction tube. The mixture was then placed in a fixed-bed reactor for pretreatment and activation. The conditions were as follows: nitrogen gas was introduced at room temperature, the flow rate was 15 mL / min, and the temperature was increased at a rate not exceeding 10 °C / min. The temperature was stabilized at 545 °C for at least 20 minutes. A reaction mixture consisting of propane, oxygen, and nitrogen was introduced, with C3H8:O2 = 1:1.5 and a space velocity of 2000 mL / (g·h). The remaining gas was supplemented by nitrogen. The reaction products were monitored in real time by online gas chromatography (equipped with TCD and FID detectors). By analyzing Silicate-1, 1.5VO x / Silicate-1, BSilicate-1, 1.5VO xMonitoring results for / BSilicate-1 showed that after the active component was impregnated and loaded with transition V, the metal oxides in the BSilicate-1 molecular sieve interacted with the active component boron in the molecular sieve framework, which was beneficial to propylene formation. The propane conversion rate of the Silicate-1 catalyst was 10.5%, the propylene selectivity was 75.6%, and the propylene yield was 7.9%. 1.5VO x The / Silicate-1 catalyst achieved a propane conversion of 17.0%, a propylene selectivity of 70.6%, and a propylene yield of 11.9%. The BSilicate-1 catalyst achieved a propane conversion of 23.9%, a propylene selectivity of 66.0%, and a propylene yield of 15.8%. 1.5VO x The propane conversion rate of the BSilicate-1 catalyst was 48.9%, the propylene selectivity was 60.1%, and the propylene yield was 29.3%. The improvement in catalytic performance after loading V onto the BSilicate-1 support was much greater than that after loading V onto the Silicate-1 support, indicating that there is an interaction between the two active sites, V and B. Further loading of metal oxides onto the BSilicate-1 support is beneficial to improving the performance of propane oxidative dehydrogenation to propylene.

[0056] Comparative Example 2: Preparation of V2O5 / BSilicate-1 and Testing of Propane Oxidative Dehydrogenation Performance 1. Preparation of V2O5 / BSilicate-1 catalyst Add 53.5 mg of V2O5 and 2 g of BSilicate-1 to a mortar and grind thoroughly for 1 hour to ensure uniform mixing. The loading is 1.5%, thus obtaining a borosilicate molecular sieve physically mixed vanadium pentoxide catalyst with the molecular formula V2O5 / BSilicate-1.

[0057] 2. Propane oxidative dehydrogenation activity test 100 mg of catalyst was mixed with 1 g of quartz sand (60-80 mesh) and loaded into a fixed-bed reaction tube. The mixture was then placed in a fixed-bed reactor for pretreatment and activation. The conditions were as follows: nitrogen gas was introduced at room temperature at a flow rate of 15 mL / min and the temperature was increased at a rate not exceeding 10 °C / min. The temperature was stabilized at 520 °C for at least 20 minutes. A reaction mixture consisting of propane, oxygen, and nitrogen was introduced, with a C3H8:O2 ratio of 1:1.5 and a space velocity of 2000 mL / (g·h). The remaining gas was supplemented by nitrogen. The reaction products were monitored in real time by online gas chromatography (equipped with TCD and FID detectors).

[0058] The propane conversion of the physically mixed V₂O₅ / BSilicate-1 catalyst was only 18.41%, compared to 1.5VO₂.x The low / BSilicate-1 catalyst level indicates that the borosilicate molecular sieve-supported vanadium oxide composite catalyst prepared by the impregnation method can promote the improvement of propane oxidative dehydrogenation performance through the BOV synergistic effect between vanadium and boron.

[0059] The methods for calculating propane conversion and product selectivity are as follows: (1) Product selectivity = Content of a certain product / Total content of all products × 100% (2) Propane conversion rate = (raw material flow rate × propane content – ​​reaction tail gas flow rate × unreacted propane content) / raw material flow rate × propane content × 100%.
