Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of propane dehydrogenation to propylene catalyst technology, specifically involving a method for preparing PtZn bimetal supported on a small-particle-size spherical TS-1 molecular sieve, and applying it to the production of propylene from propane dehydrogenation catalyst. Background Technology
[0002] Propylene, a crucial raw material in the global petrochemical industry, is widely used in the production of polypropylene, acrylic acid, acrolein, and propylene oxide. With the explosive growth of shale gas technology, propane prices have become low and supply abundant, allowing the direct propane dehydrogenation to propylene (PDH) process to stand out from other propylene production processes due to its price advantage. Pt-based catalysts, exemplified by the Oleflex process, exhibit high activity and selectivity, but are prone to carbon deposition and sintering at high temperatures, leading to catalyst deactivation.
[0003] Currently, by controlling the support and constructing defect sites on the support surface to enhance the interaction between the metal and the support, the sintering of Pt species in the catalyst can be effectively suppressed. For example, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2015, 54, 13994-13998 and J. Energy Chem. 2022, 65, 293-301 report unsaturated five-coordinate Al 3+ It can effectively anchor PtSn clusters and inhibit Pt sintering; for example, ACS Catal. 2015, 5, 438-447 and JACS Au 2023, 3, 1939-1951 report defective titanium species TiO2. x It can also enhance the interaction between the metal and the support, which is beneficial to the dispersion of Pt species and inhibits their sintering. However, although the catalysts reported above inhibit the sintering of Pt species to a certain extent, the reaction conditions of their catalysts are relatively mild, and the reaction activity (based on the propylene formation rate) still needs to be further improved.
[0004] Based on the above considerations, this invention provides a method for preparing and applying a PtZn bimetallic propane dehydrogenation catalyst supported on spherical TS-1 molecular sieves. The aim is to improve the catalyst's resistance to sintering while enhancing its reactivity, enabling stable operation even under ultra-high mass space velocity reaction conditions. Furthermore, the influence of TS-1 molecular sieve morphology on catalyst performance is investigated. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to improve the anti-sintering ability and reactivity of catalysts, enabling stable operation even under high mass space velocity (HHSV) reaction conditions. This invention provides a method for preparing a catalyst using spherical TS-1 molecular sieves as the catalyst support and Pt1Zn1 intermetallic compounds as the active component, and its application in PDH reactions. The catalyst has a Pt loading of 0.5 wt% and a Zn loading of 1.7 wt%. TS-1 molecules possess an ordered porous structure, low acidity, and high thermal stability, making them excellent catalyst supports. Furthermore, the prepared TS-1 has a small grain size, and its resulting stacked mesoporous structure can more effectively promote mass transfer and improve catalytic performance. In addition, the titanium atoms in the TS-1 molecular sieve framework can effectively anchor the Pt1Zn1 intermetallic compounds, improving the dispersion of Pt species to enhance the catalyst's reactivity and anti-sintering ability, enabling stable operation even under ultra-high mass space velocity (HHSV) reaction conditions.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A PtZn bimetallic propane dehydrogenation catalyst for propylene production uses spherical TS-1 molecular sieves as the catalyst support and Pt1Zn1 intermetallic compounds as the active component.

[0017] Further, in step (3), the rotary evaporation temperature is 80 ℃-100 ℃, the drying temperature is 60-80 ℃, the drying time is 12-24 h, the calcination temperature is 550 ℃, and the calcination time is 2 h; the reduction is carried out under a reducing atmosphere, the reducing atmosphere is hydrogen, the flow rate is 20 mL / min, the reduction treatment temperature is 550-600 ℃, and the treatment time is 2 h.
[0018] The PtZn bimetallic propane dehydrogenation catalyst prepared by this invention is suitable for PDH reactions in a fixed-bed reactor. Specific applications include the following steps:

[0020] (2) A mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen gas with a volume ratio of 1:1 is introduced and heated to 600 ℃ at 5 ℃ / min for 2 h. The mixture is then cooled to the reaction temperature of 550-600 ℃ and a reaction gas is introduced to carry out the reaction. The molar ratio of propane to hydrogen in the reaction gas is 2:1, and nitrogen is used as the equilibrium gas. The mass hourly space velocity of propane is 6-40 h⁻¹. -1 .
[0021] Furthermore, the PtZn bimetallic propane dehydrogenation catalyst shown in step (1) is loaded with a mass of 0.02-0.1 g.
[0022] Furthermore, in step (2), the flow rate of propane introduced is 0-10 mL / min (not 0).

[0083] Application Example 9
[0084] The performance evaluation process is the same as that in Application Example 7, except that the catalyst used is the 0.5Pt2.5Zn / TS-1-50-sphere catalyst from Example 5.
[0085] Application Example 10
[0086] Its performance evaluation process is the same as that of Application Example 7, except that the catalyst used is the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-25-sheet catalyst used in Comparative Example 3.
[0087] Application Example 11
[0088] Its performance evaluation process is the same as that of Application Example 7, except that the catalyst used is the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-50-piece catalyst from Comparative Example 2.
[0089] Application Example 12
[0090] Its performance evaluation process is the same as that of Application Example 7, except that the catalyst used is the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-100-piece catalyst used in Comparative Example 1.
[0091] Application Example 13
[0092] Its performance evaluation process is the same as that of Application Example 4, except that the catalyst used is the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-50-piece catalyst used in Comparative Example 2.
[0093] The specific results of the catalyst performance evaluation are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
[0094] From the comparison of the PDH reaction performance of different PtZn bimetallic catalysts in Table 1, compared with Application Examples 1-3, it can be seen that the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-50-spheres have the best reaction activity compared to the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-100-spheres and 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-25-spheres. That is, when the silicon-to-titanium ratio in the TS-1 support is 50, the reaction is most favorable. When the titanium content is too high or too low, the catalyst activity will be inhibited. As can be seen from Examples 7-9, the Zn content has a significant impact on the construction of Pt1Zn1 alloys. Too low a Zn content is not conducive to the dispersion of Pt, and the initial activity of 0.5Pt0.85Zn / TS-1-50 is much lower than that of 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-50 spheres. Too high a Zn content will cause some Zn species to cover the active sites of Pt, which is also not conducive to the formation of Pt1Zn1 alloys, resulting in the initial activity of 0.5Pt2.5Zn / TS-1-50 spheres being lower than that of 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-50 spheres.
[0095] Comparing the results of Application Example 7 and Application Example 11, it can be seen that the morphology of TS-1 has a relatively small impact on the initial activity of the catalyst, but a significant impact on the stability of the catalyst. Further comparison of Application Example 4 and Application Example 13 reveals that the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-50-sphere catalyst exhibits significantly higher stability than the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-50-sheet catalyst. This indicates that spherical molecular sieves can more effectively suppress the sintering of active sites and possess stronger carbon-holding capacity.
[0096] Furthermore, the effect of different mass hourly space velocities (MHSVs) on catalyst activity was investigated. Through applications 5-7, it was found that with increasing MHSV, the conversion rate of the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-50-sphere catalyst did not decrease significantly, but its propylene formation rate increased significantly, indicating that the prepared catalyst possesses excellent activity and can operate stably even at high MHSVs. Further, the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-50-sphere catalyst was subjected to reactions under even more severe conditions. As shown in application example 4, the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-50-sphere catalyst reacted under 600 °C and a MHSV of 37.7 h⁻¹. -1 It can still operate stably under these conditions, with an initial propylene formation rate as high as 47.1 mol C3H6·g Pt -1 ·h -1 Furthermore, the inactivation rate constant is only 0.0046 h. -1 This indicates that the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-50-sphere catalyst possesses excellent activity and extremely strong anti-sintering ability.
[0097] Table 1. Comparison of PDH reaction performance evaluation of different PtZn bimetallic catalysts
[0098]
[0099] Note: The reaction temperature for the application examples used was 600 ℃; the reaction time for application examples 1-3 was 7 h, the reaction time for application examples 4 and 13 was 50 h, and the feed volume ratio C3H8 / H2 = 8 / 4; the reaction time for application examples 5-12 was 7 h, and the feed volume ratio C3H8 / H2 = 5 / 2.5 / 22.5.
[0100] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that the prepared TS-1-sphere molecular sieve is spherical with small and uniform crystal size, about 140 nm; while the TS-1-sheet molecular sieve has a sheet structure with larger crystal size than the TS-1-sphere, and a thickness of 133 nm.
[0101] And by Figure 3 The pore size distribution diagram shows that TS-1-50-spheres have a higher specific surface area and intercrystalline mesoporous structure, which is beneficial to improve the dispersion of catalyst metals. Furthermore, the intercrystalline mesoporous structure can effectively improve mass transfer efficiency and enhance the carbon-holding capacity of the catalyst, thus significantly improving the stability of the catalyst.
[0102] Depend on Figure 4It can be seen that the prepared TS-1 molecular sieves all have their unique MFI microporous structure, and a weak diffraction peak can be detected on the Pt1Zn1 alloy (PDF#06-0604) (111) crystal plane at 40.8° for the 0.5Pt1.7Zn / TS-1-50-sphere catalyst after the reaction, confirming that the PtZn bimetal constitutes the Pt1Zn1 alloy.
[0103] The above fully demonstrates that the prepared spherical TS-1 molecular sieve is an excellent support for propane dehydrogenation catalysts. Impregnation and reduction of PtZn bimetals on this support can construct Pt1Zn1 intermetallic compounds, providing high catalyst activity. Compared to plate-shaped TS-1 molecular sieves, spherical molecular sieves have a higher specific surface area, which is beneficial for metal dispersion; furthermore, their intercrystalline mesoporous structure enhances the catalyst's carbon-holding capacity and significantly improves its stability. This catalyst preparation method provides a new approach for the structural design and performance optimization of novel Pt-based dehydrogenation catalysts.
[0104] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
