Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst technology, and in particular to a Ru-based catalyst and its application in the reaction of syngas to produce higher alcohols and olefins. Background Technology

[0002] Higher alcohols (usually referring to C45-4 ... 4+ Fatty alcohols (with carbon chains of 250-3500) are an important class of chemical raw materials, widely used in surfactants, detergents, lubricants, plasticizers, pharmaceutical intermediates, and other fields. They can also be used as clean fuels or fuel additives, possessing extremely high industrial application value and market prospects. Syngas (mainly composed of CO and H2) is a core intermediate for the high-value conversion of non-petroleum-based carbon resources such as coal, natural gas, and biomass. Its catalytic conversion to produce higher alcohols is one of the important ways to achieve clean and efficient utilization of carbon resources and alleviate dependence on petroleum resources, and has become a research hotspot in the field of catalysis in recent years.

[0003] The key to the synthesis of higher alcohols from syngas lies in the development of high-performance catalysts. These catalysts must simultaneously satisfy the requirements of efficient CO activation, CC coupling, and selective hydrogenation to achieve high total alcohol selectivity, higher alcohol selectivity, and good catalytic stability. Currently, catalysts for the synthesis of higher alcohols from syngas are mainly classified into four categories: Rh-based catalysts, Mo-based catalysts, modified Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts, and modified methanol synthesis (MS) catalysts. Among them, modified FTS catalysts have attracted much attention due to their controllable carbon chain growth, which makes it easier to obtain higher alcohols, and are one of the most widely studied catalysts for the synthesis of higher alcohols.

[0004] However, in existing modified Fischer-Tropsch catalytic systems, research still mainly focuses on cobalt-based and iron-based catalysts. The selectivity of alcohol products prepared by these catalytic systems is mostly concentrated in the lower alcohol category, with limited selectivity for higher alcohols (C4+) with ≥4 carbons. 4+ The selectivity is generally below 30%, and the yield is even less than 10%. Meanwhile, the selectivity for carbon dioxide and methane in the products often exceeds 20%, severely limiting the utilization efficiency of carbon atoms. Furthermore, syngas also generates olefins and alkanes with ≥2 carbon atoms during the conversion process. Under traditional catalytic systems, the products are mostly low-value-added C4 hydrocarbons. 2+ Alkanes are difficult to selectively synthesize into high-value-added olefins. Therefore, if precise catalyst design can be achieved to selectively synthesize C from syngas... 4+ Higher alcohols, in conjunction with olefin production, will significantly enhance the economics and industrial application potential of syngas reforming processes.

[0005] Ruthenium (Ru)-based catalysts are commonly used in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, exhibiting excellent catalytic activity and extremely low selectivity for byproducts such as methane and carbon dioxide, demonstrating very high carbon utilization efficiency. However, the products are mainly saturated alkanes, making it difficult to selectively produce high-value-added chemicals such as olefins and alcohols. In recent years, ruthenium-based catalysts modified with alkali metal promoters have achieved highly selective synthesis of olefins. However, due to the limitations imposed by the interactions between the catalyst, promoter, and support, it remains difficult to achieve the co-production of enols with higher alcohols as the main product. Therefore, developing catalysts with simple preparation processes and excellent stability to achieve efficient catalytic conversion of syngas to higher alcohols and co-production of olefins has become a key technical problem urgently needing to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a Ru-based catalyst and its application in the co-production of olefins from syngas to higher alcohols, to solve the problems of low selectivity, numerous byproducts, and difficulty in co-producing high-value-added olefins in the prior art of syngas-to-higher alcohols, and to achieve C 4+ Highly efficient and selective co-production of higher alcohols and olefins.

[0007] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the present invention provides a Ru-based catalyst and its application in the reaction of syngas to produce higher alcohols and olefins.

[0009] Preferably, the carrier is any one or more selected from mesoporous SiO2, mesoporous TiO2, and mesoporous Al2O3.

[0010] If the pore size of the support is too small, intermediate or by-products will easily accumulate, leading to pore blockage and carbon buildup, slow diffusion, and impaired mass transfer, making the Fischer-Tropsch reaction impossible. If the pore size of the support is too large, the strength will be low, the specific surface area will be small, the metal dispersion will be low, and the catalyst formation will be poor.

[0011] Preferably, the Ru is obtained by dissolving a water-soluble salt of Ru in water, and the water-soluble salt of Ru is any one or more selected from ruthenium chloride, ruthenium nitrate, and ruthenium acetate.

[0198] The catalyst performance test results of Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-4 are shown in Table 1.

[0199] Table 1. Catalyst performance test results for Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-4

[0200]

[0201] According to the catalyst performance test results in Table 1, when the catalysts prepared using the methods in Examples 1-10 are used for syngas reforming catalytic reactions, C 4+ The selectivity of alcohols was >40%, and the total selectivity of alcohols and alkenes was >75%. The selectivity of CH4 and CO2 was <3%, exhibiting high activity and high C content. 4+ Alcohol selectivity, high total alcohol and olefin selectivity, and low CH4 and CO2 selectivity.

[0202] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 1 did not involve steam treatment, and the catalyst prepared in Comparative Example 1 underwent a catalytic reaction with C1. 4+ Both the selectivity for alcohols and the overall selectivity for alcohols and alkenes were significantly reduced; compared with Example 3, no metal promoter was added in Comparative Example 2, resulting in a lower C1 ratio during the catalytic reaction of the prepared catalyst. 4+ Both the selectivity for alcohols and the overall selectivity for alcohols and alkenes were significantly reduced; compared to Example 9, Comparative Example 3 did not undergo a support soaking pretreatment, resulting in a lower C1 ratio during the catalytic reaction. 4+Both the selectivity for alcohols and the overall selectivity for alcohols and olefins were significantly reduced; compared to Example 1, no surfactant was added during the impregnation treatment in Comparative Example 4, resulting in a lower C1 ratio during the catalytic reaction of the prepared catalyst. 4+ Both the selectivity for alcohols and the overall selectivity for alcohols and alkenes decreased significantly. This indicates that the steps in the preparation method of this catalyst are synergistically coordinated, and the Ru-based catalyst prepared has high C60 content. 4+ Alcohol selectivity and total alcohol-olefin selectivity.

[0203] Figure 1 The XRD pattern of the catalyst prepared in Example 1 shows that only the signal peaks of SiO2 and Ru are displayed, while the absorption peak of the metal promoter Na is not shown, which proves that Na is highly dispersed in the catalyst and therefore no diffraction peak appears. Furthermore, the particle size of Ru was calculated to be 6.4 nm using the Scherrer equation, which is within the optimal particle size range for the Fischer-Tropsch reaction.

[0204] Therefore, this invention creatively proposes a novel method for preparing a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalyst, the prepared catalyst being capable of achieving highly selective production of C from syngas. 4+ Higher alcohols, in conjunction with olefin production, significantly enhance the economics and industrial application potential of syngas reforming processes.
