Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a cobalt-based catalyst, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of chemical engineering. Background Technology

[0002] Oxygenated compounds are important fine chemical raw materials, mainly used in the synthesis of surfactants, plasticizers, detergents, and other fine chemicals. These products have wide applications in textiles, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, and leather. Early production of oxygenated compounds primarily used vegetable and animal oils as raw materials, but with the development of the petrochemical industry, the production route using petroleum as the main raw material has gradually become mainstream. In recent years, methods for synthesizing oxygenated compounds mainly include natural oil routes and methods using ethylene and paraffin as raw materials. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology can use widely available syngas as a raw material, derived from natural gas, coal, and biomass. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology, also known as CO hydrogenation, refers to the reaction of producing hydrocarbons through chain growth using syngas (CO and H2) as raw materials under the action of a catalyst. It is an important non-petroleum route for synthesizing clean fuels and chemical products, with raw materials mainly derived from the conversion of coal, natural gas, and biomass. Since my country has richer coal reserves than natural gas, coal is the primary raw material for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in my country. Different catalysts, processes, and engineering methods in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis lead to fundamental differences in product distribution and types. High-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (HTFT, 300–350°C) primarily produces gasoline and olefins, while low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (LTFT, 220–250°C) mainly produces diesel, long-chain alkanes, Fischer-Tropsch waxes, and lubricating oil base feedstocks. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products follow the ASF distribution, resulting in a relatively wide product range (C1-C100). Currently, high-value-added products such as low-carbon olefins, high / low-carbon alcohols, α-olefins, gasoline, aviation kerosene, and diesel are mainly produced through downstream hydrogenation and separation processes. However, directly preparing oxygen-containing compounds via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis still presents significant challenges, primarily due to the low selectivity of oxygen-containing compounds. Designing highly efficient catalysts is the main approach to improving the yield of oxygen-containing compounds. Summary of the Invention
