Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst preparation technology, to a ZSM-5 molecular sieve supported CuO catalyst and its preparation method and application, and in particular to an ellipsoidal ZSM-5 molecular sieve supported CuO (111) catalyst and its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Excessive greenhouse gas emissions leading to global warming are drawing unprecedented global attention. The increase in atmospheric CH4 and CO2 concentrations has triggered a series of environmental problems, including global warming, glacial melting, and ocean acidification. Converting CH4 and CO2 into clean fuels and chemicals can not only eliminate the impact of greenhouse gases but also reduce dependence on fossil fuels. In 2021, carbon dioxide and methane emissions accounted for over 90% of global emissions, and are considered major anthropogenic greenhouse gases (OurWorldInData.org. https: / / ourworldindata.org / co2-and-greenhouse-gas-emissions). Furthermore, these two gases have high bond energies and are considered C1 feedstocks for bulk chemical and fuel production, aligning with the vision of achieving a "dual-carbon" target strategy. Carbon dioxide and methane have attracted significant attention not only from energy and environmental perspectives but also due to their potential as alternative economic feedstocks. For the catalytic conversion of CH4 and CO2, surface activation using heterogeneous catalysts is considered one of the feasible methods to overcome extremely high thermodynamic and kinetic stability (Phys Chem Chem Phys., 2012, 14, 16588-16594). However, this reaction is thermodynamically very unfavorable (ΔG). 0 =16.98 kcal·mol -1 According to assessments, even under specific experimental conditions (725 °C, 100 atm, CO2 (95 vol%) and CH4 (5 vol%)), the thermodynamic equilibrium conversion rate of methane is as low as 1.6 × 10⁻⁶. -6 Furthermore, the simultaneous activation of two molecules seems attractive, but is more difficult [Nature., 2002, 417, 507-514.].

[0003] For acetic acid, the most common acetic acid production process is the methanol carbonylation process, which involves three steps in the presence of rhodium and iridium complexes and the HI system [J Catal., 1977, 50, 494-507.]. Therefore, simultaneously activating CH4 and CO2 molecules in the same catalyst system to produce acetic acid via methane carboxylation in a one-step process has significant advantages compared to the current main acetic acid processes. However, due to the high thermodynamic barrier, simultaneously activating two reactant molecules is very challenging. The earliest report described the homogeneous production of acetic acid from CH4 and CO2 in CF3COOH solvent using a Pd / Cu complex and K2S2O8 (15 mol%) as an oxidant, with an acetic acid yield of 7% (Org Lett., 2003, 5, 3193-3196). Heterogeneous catalytic conversion methods mostly use Co-Cu, V2O5-PdCl2 / Al2O3, Pd & Rh / TiO2, Pd & Rh / SiO2, Pd / C, and Pt / alumina as catalysts, employing two-step, stepwise, periodic, or cyclic reaction modes, with yields below 45 μmol·g. cat -1 ·h -1 The selectivity is also poor [J Nat Gas Chem., 2004, 13, 113-115. Fuel Process Technol., 2007, 88, 319-324.].

[0004] ZSM-5 molecular sieves have been widely used in fine chemicals, petroleum refining, environmental protection, and adsorption separation due to their excellent pore selectivity, ion exchange capacity, tunable acidity, and good hydrothermal stability (JCatal., 2023, 417, 226-247.). However, conventional microporous ZSM-5 molecular sieves have very limited mass transfer and diffusion capabilities, especially in the catalytic conversion of C1 molecules, where they suffer from low accessibility to acidic sites and poor resistance to carbon deposition. Therefore, the synthesis and application of ZSM-5 molecular sieves with special morphologies possessing numerous advantages have gradually become a research hotspot (Chem EnginJour, 2024, 483, 149123-149133.). Regarding the selection of active components, copper oxide, a transition metal oxide, is widely used in the preparation of supported catalysts due to its wide availability, low cost, good environmental compatibility, and high redox activity. However, CuO / ZSM-5 catalysts prepared by conventional methods in the present technology still have significant performance bottlenecks. On the one hand, copper oxide nanoparticles supported by traditional impregnation or precipitation methods are often unevenly dispersed on the ZSM-5 surface, with a wide particle size distribution. Furthermore, they are prone to migration and aggregation during subsequent calcination or reaction, leading to a decrease in the number of surface active sites and making it difficult to meet the requirements for long-term catalytic stability. On the other hand, deeper research shows that the catalytic activity of copper oxide exhibits a significant crystal facet dependence. Controlling the surface atomic arrangement, electronic structure, and defect states through crystal facet engineering has become a key strategy for optimizing activity and selectivity. However, how to achieve directional control of the exposed crystal facets of copper oxide in supported catalysts remains a technical challenge in this field. Conventional supports such as amorphous silica or commercially available ZSM-5 molecular sieves lack effective guidance for CuO crystal growth, resulting in supported copper oxide particles often existing in a thermodynamically stable mixed crystal facet form, making it difficult to expose the highly active (111) crystal facet.

[0005] Therefore, developing a method for a CuO-supported ellipsoidal ZSM-5 catalyst with high activity and a single exposed crystal facet is of great significance in this field. Summary of the Invention
