Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst technology, specifically to a catalyst for the disproportionation of toluene to produce benzene and p-xylene, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The toluene disproportionation unit is a key component of aromatic hydrocarbon complexes. Toluene disproportionation technology is currently the most mature and widely used technology for producing xylene and benzene. Its principle is based on the methyl transfer reaction between aromatic hydrocarbons, transferring a methyl group from one toluene molecule to another, thereby producing benzene and xylene. The core research focus of traditional toluene disproportionation catalysts is to suppress the demethylation reaction and maximize xylene selectivity, aiming to maximize xylene production. However, traditional toluene disproportionation and alkyl transfer technologies can only yield mixed xylenes with a para-xylene content of approximately 24%. The product structure of traditional toluene disproportionation technologies, primarily focused on xylene production, is not adapted to market demands, necessitating the development of novel catalysts to improve the benzene selectivity of toluene disproportionation technology.

[0003] For the toluene disproportionation reaction to produce benzene, the conversion rate and selectivity of the toluene disproportionation reaction are directly related to the catalyst pore structure and acid strength. Precisely optimizing the structure and composition of molecular sieve catalysts is of great importance for obtaining high-performance catalysts with high selectivity, high aromatic hydrocarbon processing capacity, high conversion rate, low hydrogen consumption, and high benzene purity.

[0004] ZSM-5 molecular sieve is an MFI type molecular sieve, belonging to a two-dimensional channel system. It includes two channel structures: one is a 10-membered ring straight pore with a pore size of 0.53 nm × 0.56 nm, and the other is a 10-membered ring bent pore with a bend angle of approximately 150 degrees. ° The pore size is 0.51 nm × 0.55 nm. Although the pore sizes of the two types of channels are similar, the diffusion characteristics of molecules differ significantly. The diffusion energy barriers of aromatic hydrocarbon molecules in the straight pores, from smallest to largest, are benzene, p-xylene, toluene, o-xylene, and m-xylene. Among them, the diffusion energy barriers of benzene and p-xylene are similar and much smaller than those of other molecules. Therefore, after the toluene disproportionation reaction is completed, they will preferentially diffuse out of the pores, thus demonstrating that the ZSM-5 molecular sieve straight pores have good selectivity for benzene and p-xylene.

[0005] ZSM-11 molecular sieve is a MEL molecular sieve, belonging to a two-dimensional pore system with 10-membered ring straight pores and a pore size of 0.53 nm × 0.54 nm. The diffusion barriers of the various isomers of toluene, in ascending order, are p-xylene, o-xylene, and m-xylene. MEL molecular sieves also exhibit good shape-selective catalysis of the products of toluene disproportionation reaction.

[0006] Chinese patent document CN115710154A discloses a process for producing benzene by toluene disproportionation. It includes heating toluene, a toluene disproportionation reaction to produce benzene, and benzene separation. The toluene disproportionation catalyst used in this process features high toluene conversion, high benzene selectivity, and high stability. The toluene conversion rate of this process is 9% to 26% higher than similar processes, and the benzene selectivity is 5% to 12% higher.

[0007] Chinese patent document CN115709096A discloses a highly active catalyst for the disproportionation of toluene to benzene. It is composed of a hydrogen-form eutectic molecular sieve, a binder, an active metal or metal oxide, and an additive. It features high toluene conversion, high benzene selectivity, and high stability, exhibiting overall performance superior to single-component ordinary molecular sieve catalysts and catalysts using a simple mixture of two molecular sieves. The hydrogen-form eutectic molecular sieve obtained by modifying the eutectic molecular sieve eliminates the toxicity to the catalyst compared to the original eutectic molecular sieve, thus improving the overall catalyst performance. The hydrogen-form eutectic molecular sieve disclosed in this invention is mainly one of ZSM-5 / ZSM-12, ZSM-5 / β, MOR / β, MOR / ZSM-12, ZSM-5 / MOR, or Y / MCM-22, achieving a toluene conversion of 52.8% to 55.3% and a benzene selectivity of 44.2% to 44.8%.

[0008] Chinese patent document CN117160521A discloses a toluene disproportionation catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. The catalyst comprises a composite modified alumina and a modified molecular sieve. The composite modified alumina contains alkali metal K and / or Cs and / or alkaline earth metal Mg and / or Ca, transition metals Co, Cr, Mn, and alumina. The modified molecular sieve contains at least one molecular sieve selected from ZSM-5, mordenite, and β-zeolite, and a modified metal (at least one selected from Pt, Re, and Mo). This catalyst, used in the toluene disproportionation reaction, exhibits advantages such as high benzene selectivity, with a toluene conversion rate of 51.2% to 56.8%, a benzene selectivity of 50.2% to 58.7%, and a xylene selectivity of 33.7% to 41.5%.

[0009] The zeolite molecular sieves used in the above catalysts, including MOR, Y, β, and MCM-22, all belong to the twelve-membered ring molecular sieve category. When improving toluene conversion, the molar ratio of benzene to xylene in the product is low, and the selectivity for p-xylene in the product is low. Additionally, C9... + The problem of high yield of heavy aromatics. Summary of the Invention

[0057] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: First, in the synthesis process of the catalyst for toluene disproportionation to produce benzene and p-xylene in this invention, the introducing method of the modifying element (inorganic material containing the modifying element) is a hydrothermal method. The inorganic material containing the modifying element is mixed with silicon and aluminum sources in a certain proportion, and under suitable pH conditions, the precipitation process of metal (non-metal) ions with silicon and aluminum sources and the crystallization of silica-alumina gel can be synchronized during the hydrothermal synthesis process. This ensures that the size of the metal (non-metal) salt hydrolysis and condensation products is small enough to enter the zeolite channels and combine with the molecular sieve, thereby modifying the acidity of the inner surface, the acidity of the pore opening, and the pore size of the molecular sieve channels, and improving the toluene conversion rate. At the same time, the metal (non-metal) ions are uniformly dispersed, eliminating the agglomeration of metal (non-metal) compounds. Secondly, in this invention, a ball milling crystallization method is used to co-crystallize ZSM-11 molecular sieve and ZSM-5 molecular sieve. The impact and shearing forces of the balls make it easier for ZSM-11 molecular sieve nanocrystals to enter the pores of ZSM-5 molecular sieve. At the same time, the surface of the molecular sieve is prone to forming new "growth points" due to the high-speed impact of the balls, thereby avoiding the independent growth of ZSM-11 molecular sieve and ZSM-5 molecular sieve. Third, in this invention, hydrogen-type molecular sieves are modified by silicon coating (silica modification) to obtain composite modified eutectic molecular sieves. This does not change the acid properties within the pores of the composite modified eutectic molecular sieves, and the acidity of the outer surface of the obtained composite modified eutectic molecular sieves is passivated, inhibiting the further isomerization of p-xylene to m-xylene and o-xylene. At the same time, the pore openings of the composite modified eutectic molecular sieves shrink, restricting the diffusion of m-xylene and o-xylene, while p-xylene diffuses preferentially. Therefore, by modifying the outer surface and pore diameter of the modified eutectic molecular sieves by silicon coating, this invention further exhibits better shape-selective catalytic activity for the products of toluene disproportionation reaction. Fourth, the catalyst for toluene disproportionation to produce benzene and p-xylene prepared by the preparation method provided by this invention has a pore volume of 0.22 cm³. 3 / g to 0.25cm 3 / g, specific surface area is 240m²2 / g to 350m 2 / g, with a particle size of 4μm to 10μm. When the catalyst of this invention, which produces benzene and p-xylene in the toluene disproportionation reaction, is applied to the toluene disproportionation reaction, the toluene conversion rate is high, ranging from 47.14% to 53.66% (mass percentage), the selectivity of benzene in the product is from 47.98% to 54.49% (mass percentage), the molar ratio of benzene to xylene in the product is from 1.37 to 1.83, and the selectivity of p-xylene in the product for xylene is from 37.72% to 60.23% (mass percentage).

[0058] Example 21: This catalyst for the disproportionation of toluene to produce benzene and p-xylene uses macroporous silica gel (80-100 mesh) as the silicon source, sodium aluminate (41% by mass) as the aluminum source, sodium hydroxide as the alkali source, tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (25% by mass) as the first template agent, and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (25% by mass) as the second template agent. The raw materials are: silicon source (calculated as SiO2), aluminum source (calculated as Al2O3), alkali source (calculated as Na2O), and first template agent (calculated as N(C3H7)4). + (Calculation), second template agent (N(C4H9)4) + The molar ratio of silicon source (calculated as SiO2) to water is 1:0.033:0.04:0.1:0.05:40. The raw materials also include seed crystals and inorganic substances containing modifying elements. The seed crystals are ZSM-5 seed crystals and ZSM-11 seed crystals, with the addition amount of ZSM-5 seed crystals and ZSM-11 seed crystals being 5% of the mass of silicon source (calculated as SiO2). The inorganic substances containing modifying elements are ammonium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, and ferrous sulfate. The addition amount of ammonium phosphate (calculated as P) is 5% of the mass of silicon source (calculated as SiO2), the addition amount of magnesium sulfate (calculated as Mg) is 8% of the mass of silicon source (calculated as SiO2), and the addition amount of ferrous sulfate (calculated as Fe) is 2% of the mass of silicon source (calculated as SiO2). The raw materials are obtained by the following method: The first step is to mix the required amounts of silicon source, aluminum source, alkali source, first template agent, second template agent, seed crystal and deionized water thoroughly to obtain a mixed solution; The second step involves placing the mixed solution in a homogeneous reactor equipped with a rotary oven, stirring it at room temperature for 2 hours, and then dynamically crystallizing it at 100°C and a rotary oven speed of 50 r / min for 24 hours to obtain the molecular sieve precursor. The third step is to add the required amount of inorganic substances containing modifying elements (ammonium phosphate, magnesium sulfate and ferrous sulfate) to the molecular sieve precursor and mix them to obtain a mixed slurry. The pH value of the mixed slurry is adjusted to 11. The fourth step involves ball milling the mixed slurry at 170°C and 7000 r / min for 72 h. After the reaction is complete, the reaction vessel is rapidly cooled, and the product is separated into solid and liquid components. The obtained solid product is then filtered, washed, dried at 120°C for 3 h, and calcined at 550°C for 6 h to obtain the modified eutectic molecular sieve. Fifth step: Add ammonium chloride aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 1 mol / L to the modified eutectic molecular sieve, stir at 85℃ for 2 hours to obtain a mixture, filter and wash the mixture until neutral, dry at 120℃ for 3 hours, and then calcine at 550℃ for 6 hours to obtain hydrogen-form molecular sieve, wherein the mass ratio of modified eutectic molecular sieve to ammonium chloride aqueous solution is 1:10; Step 6: Add silica-coating modifier (tetraethyl orthosilicate) and solvent (cyclohexane) to the hydrogen-form molecular sieve, stir and perform chemical liquid phase deposition for 24 hours to obtain the product. Evaporate the solvent in a water bath at 90°C, dry at 120°C for 3 hours, and then calcine at 550°C for 6 hours. Repeat step 6 to perform secondary silica-coating modification to obtain a composite modified eutectic molecular sieve. The mass ratio of hydrogen-form molecular sieve to silica-coating modifier (tetraethyl orthosilicate, calculated as SiO2) is 10:1.6, and the volume ratio of solvent (cyclohexane) to silica-coating modifier (tetraethyl orthosilicate) is 5:1. Step 7: Add γ-alumina and Tianqing powder to the ground composite modified eutectic molecular sieve and mix well. Then add 4% dilute nitric acid and extrude into strips.
