Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coking suppression in high-temperature organic pyrolysis units, and relates to a slurry for preparing an anti-coking coating by spraying it onto the metal surface of a pyrolysis device and a method for preparing the coating. Background Technology
[0002] Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the world's third-largest produced synthetic polymer plastic. The main PVC production process currently involves the addition of ethylene to dichloroethane (EDC), followed by pyrolysis to produce vinyl dichloroethylene (VCM), which is then further polymerized to produce PVC. Coking in the EDC pyrolysis furnace is a significant factor inhibiting VCM capacity growth and stable operation. The main functions of the EDC pyrolysis furnace are: at 500-600℃, EDC is pyrolyzed to produce VCM using a high-temperature resistant chromium-nickel alloy. At high temperatures, iron and nickel atoms in the alloy migrate to the surface, causing EDC and pyrolysis byproducts to accumulate on the equipment surface. Under further catalysis by metal ions, coke is formed and ultimately deposited on the equipment surface, increasing the furnace's heat transfer coefficient and affecting energy consumption; it also affects the furnace's gas flow rate and feedstock throughput; in more severe cases, coking can clog pipelines, affecting gas flow and leading to a systemic shutdown.
[0003] Currently, there are few reports on anti-coking methods for EDC pyrolysis furnaces. Drawing on anti-coking approaches from other processes, the main methods for inhibiting coking both domestically and internationally include: adding inhibitors to the pyrolysis feedstock, designing and developing furnace tubes with excellent anti-coking properties, and preparing coatings on the inner wall of the furnace tubes. Among these, the inhibitor method requires continuous injection with the feedstock, resulting in high costs; the manufacture of new pyrolysis furnace tubes requires complex smelting processes and manufacturing equipment, and is only suitable for the construction and installation of new pyrolysis furnaces or the retrofitting of in-service pyrolysis furnaces. Preparing an anti-coking coating on the inner wall of the pyrolysis furnace tubes through chemical treatment is not only simple and inexpensive, but also utilizes existing utilities in the pyrolysis furnace area, and allows for repeated coating of in-service furnace tubes without affecting product distribution and yield.
[0004] There are some reports on pyrolysis furnace coatings, such as CN102046846B and CN103857971A, which describe how adding alloying elements to the coating can improve the surface's exfoliation and adhesion properties, but none of them can promote carbon transfer of the generated carbon on the surface. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a low-cost precious metal coating slurry that can effectively inhibit coking in iron-chromium-nickel alloy pyrolysis furnace tubes. The coating prepared by this slurry promotes coke decomposition and resists coking during the coking process. In this reaction system, not only can the peelability of coke in pipes and equipment be increased, but carbon transfer within the system can also be promoted, reducing the thickness of the coke layer.
[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention employs the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for preparing a Pt-Pd coating slurry to inhibit coking in iron-chromium-nickel alloy pyrolysis furnace tubes includes the following steps:
[0008] (1) Prepare an aqueous solution of Pd(NO3)2·2H2O, PtN2O6, and Mn(NO3)3·4H2O, add ethylene glycol and citric acid to it, stir to prepare a gel, dry and calcine;
[0009] (2) The product obtained in step (1) is ground and sieved to obtain powder;
[0010] (3) Mix the powder with aluminum dihydrogen phosphate solution, and then add polyvinyl alcohol to prepare a slurry.
[0011] In step (1) of the present invention, the gel is prepared at a temperature of 80-100℃, preferably 90℃, and the stirring time is 11-13h, preferably 12h.
[0012] In step (1) of the present invention, the roasting temperature is 1100-1300℃, preferably 1200℃, and the roasting time is 1-3h, preferably 2h.
[0013] In step (1) of this invention, the aqueous solution contains Pd(NO3)2 at a concentration of 0.0001-0.045 mol / L, PtN2O6 at a concentration of 0.005 mol / L, Mn(NO3)3·4H2O at a concentration of 0.05 mol / L, ethylene glycol at a concentration of 0.0689-0.125 mol / L, and citric acid at a concentration of 0.0689-0.125 mol / L.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the molar ratio of Pt:Pd is 1:9-9:1, the molar concentration of Pt is 0.005 mol / L, the molar concentration of Mn is 0.05 mol / L, and the molar ratio of metal cations to ethylene glycol and citric acid in the solution is (3.5-4.5):(4.5-5.5):(4.5-5.5).
[0015] In step (2) of the present invention, the particle size of the powder is 20-40 μm.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the aluminum dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution of the present invention has a mass fraction of 50%.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment, in step (3) of the present invention, the mass ratio of the powder to the aluminum dihydrogen phosphate solution is 1:100.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment, the slurry of the present invention comprises the following components:
[0019] Powder content: 0.98 wt%;
[0020] A 50% aqueous solution of aluminum dihydrogen phosphate, 97.02 wt%;
[0021] Polyvinyl alcohol 2 wt%.
[0022] A Pt-Pd coating for inhibiting coking in iron-chromium-nickel alloy pyrolysis furnace tubes is prepared by the following steps:
[0023] (a) Spray the slurry onto the pretreated surface;
[0024] (b) After the sprayed sample has dried and cured, heat it to 500-550℃ at a heating rate of 5℃ / min and keep it at that temperature for 1 hour;
[0025] (c) Then heat to 800-850℃ at a heating rate of 10℃ / min and hold for 2 hours to finally obtain the noble metal coating.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment, in step (a) of the present invention, the spraying is carried out using a spray gun with a pressure set to 0.5-0.6 MPa, a nozzle distance of 20-50 cm from the sample, and the spraying is carried out until the surface is uniform.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: the coating used in the present invention inhibits coking in the furnace tubes of the pyrolysis furnace, and the resulting coating effectively isolates the catalytically active metal ions on the metal surface from contact with the coking matrix, thereby improving the anti-coking performance; the palladium and platinum metal ions contained in the coking coating can catalyze the already formed coke layer to undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction with H2, thereby reducing the amount of coke accumulation.
