Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of direct methane conversion and utilization, specifically relating to a metal single-atom composite catalyst and its preparation method, as well as its application in the low-temperature direct oxidation of methane to produce C1 liquid products. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous increase in oil resource extraction and the continuous decrease in reserves, exploring alternatives to oil as raw materials for the production of high-value-added oxygenated compounds such as formic acid, methanol, and ethanol is of great significance. Natural gas is a clean, efficient, and high-quality low-carbon energy source, mainly composed of light alkanes, including 70-90% methane and 1-10% ethane. Effectively converting methane reserves into oxygenated C1 liquid products has been considered an effective strategy to replace petroleum-based chemical production methods. Meanwhile, methane, as the world's second largest greenhouse gas, although its content is less than carbon dioxide, has a greenhouse effect more than 20 times greater, thus exacerbating global warming. Therefore, research on the selective activation and directed conversion of methane has become particularly urgent in both energy utilization and environmental protection fields. However, compared to other organic molecules, methane's unique structure makes it very stable, requiring relatively harsh reaction conditions to activate methane molecules. Therefore, researching how to selectively activate and directionally convert methane is one of the major scientific challenges currently facing us, and it is also an urgent need to effectively alleviate the energy crisis and achieve sustainable development. At the same time, designing and researching catalysts that can selectively oxidize methane has always been a major scientific challenge for future industrial production.

[0003] Currently, the main industrial method for converting methane into liquid hydrocarbons is the indirect method. This involves first reforming methane into syngas (H2 + CO) via steam reforming, and then using Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FT) at temperatures exceeding 600°C to convert the methane into the target product. This process has high equipment operation and maintenance costs, low catalyst atom utilization, and poor selectivity for the target product. With the urgent need to reduce energy consumption and equipment maintenance costs, directly preparing C1 liquid products (methanol, formic acid, etc.) from methane in a single step at low temperatures (<150°C) is very attractive. This eliminates the intermediate step of syngas preparation, significantly reducing energy consumption and making it more economical and environmentally friendly. Furthermore, the C1 main product is liquid at room temperature and pressure, making storage and transportation convenient, and is considered an ideal method for methane conversion. The direct, directed conversion of methane using inexpensive and environmentally friendly oxygen at low temperatures has been a major research focus. For example, CN111195514A discloses a single-atom-dispersed rhodium-based catalyst for the low-temperature oxidation of methane, in which CH4, CO, and O2 can be converted into acetic acid, formic acid, and methanol with high activity and selectivity. CN112892588A discloses a method for preparing and applying an atomically dispersed transition metal catalyst for the low-temperature catalytic oxidation of methane to acetic acid. However, oxygen molecules are extremely difficult to continuously form reactive oxygen species that can activate the CH bonds of methane under mild conditions, making the direct catalytic conversion of methane and oxygen at low temperatures extremely challenging.

[0079] Solution C was added to mixture B and mixed thoroughly. The final mixture was then transferred to a 150 mL reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene and crystallized at 180 °C for 48 h. After crystallization, the mixture was filtered, washed, dried at 100 °C for 12 h, and then calcined at 550 °C for 4 h to obtain the product ZSM-23 molecular sieve.

[0080] Ion exchange was performed on ZSM-23 molecular sieve: 4g of ZSM-23 molecular sieve was weighed and added to 60mL of 1.5mol / L ammonium chloride solution. The temperature was raised to 80℃ for ion exchange. After 3 hours, the solution was filtered, washed, and dried at 100℃ for 6 hours. This process was repeated three times. Finally, the solution was calcined at 500℃ for 4 hours to obtain HZSM-23 molecular sieve.

[0081] Weigh 0.2g of the above HZSM-23 molecular sieve and add it to 150ml of deionized water. Then add 15g of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and 1ml of triethanolamine. Stir well at 50℃, then add 50ml of cyclopentane and continue stirring for 2h. Add 2ml of silica sol and continue stirring for 24h. Centrifuge and wash and filter the separated solid material. Finally, dry at 110℃ for 6h and calcine at 550℃ for 4h to obtain the core-shell molecular sieve, labeled as ZSM-23-hk. Analysis using pyridine adsorption infrared spectroscopy and 2,6-dimethylpyridine adsorption infrared spectroscopy revealed that the total Brønsted acid content of pyridine in the core-shell molecular sieve was 0.181 mmol / g, and the total Brønsted acid content of 2,6-dimethylpyridine was 0.159 mmol / g. The ratio of the total Brønsted acid content of 2,6-dimethylpyridine to the total Brønsted acid content of pyridine was 87.8:100. Among the Brønsted acid content of 2,6-dimethylpyridine in the core-shell molecular sieve, the amount of weak Brønsted acid below 250℃ was 0.145 mmol / g, and the ratio of the amount of weak Brønsted acid below 250℃ to the total Brønsted acid content of 2,6-dimethylpyridine was 91.2:100. The molar ratio of SiO2 / Al2O3 in the ZSM-23 core layer was 96. The ratio of the core particle size to the shell thickness of the obtained core-shell molecular sieve was 6.4.

[0083] Example 2: Preparation of the metal single-atom composite catalyst Fe-NC@ZSM-23-hk

[0084] 106 mg of ferric acetate and 330 mg of 1,10-o-phenanthroline were weighed and poured into a 150 mL round-bottom flask. 50 mL of ethanol was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. Then, 3 g of the core-shell molecular sieve powder prepared in Example 1 was slowly added, and the mixture was sonicated at a frequency of 25 kHz at room temperature for 30 min. After sonication, the mixture was placed in a water bath and heated to 60 °C for reflux with stirring at 600 rpm for 12 h. After reflux, the sample was transferred to a rotary evaporator for rotary evaporation at 55 °C for 1.5 h to obtain the precursor. The precursor was then transferred to a tube furnace and calcined under an argon atmosphere at 800 °C for 2 h. The resulting sample was labeled Fe-NC@ZSM-23-hk.
