Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of biochemical engineering and catalysis, and specifically discloses a highly efficient and stable hydrophobic bifunctional catalyst, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] 1,3-Butadiene is a core monomer for bulk chemicals such as synthetic rubber and engineering plastics, with huge global market demand. Currently, its production mainly relies on the petroleum route. With the depletion of fossil resources and the advancement of the "dual carbon" strategy, the preparation of butadiene from renewable bioethanol has become a research hotspot in the industry. The core of the bioethanol-to-butadiene preparation process is the catalytic reaction. The performance of the catalyst directly determines the reaction efficiency, product selectivity, and industrial feasibility. Among them, the one-step process has become the mainstream research direction due to its simple process and good economy. However, the catalysts used in the existing one-step process have many core defects, which seriously restrict the implementation of the technology.

[0003] (1) Imbalance of acid-base active sites: Existing catalysts are mainly MgO / SiO2 system, metal oxide system or ordinary molecular sieve-based catalysts. The ratio of Lewis acid sites to Bronsted acid sites is unreasonable, which leads to poor synergy between the dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde and the condensation of acetaldehyde to butadiene. Either the butadiene selectivity is low (usually less than 65%) and there are more by-products (ethylene, diethyl ether, brown oil, etc.); or the ethanol conversion rate is insufficient and cannot meet the needs of industrial production capacity.

[0004] (2) Poor water resistance: The fermentation products of bioethanol are mostly ethanol-water azeotropes (ethanol mass fraction 60-80%). Separating and purifying anhydrous ethanol is energy-intensive. Most existing catalysts have many hydrophilic sites on their surface, and water molecules can easily poison the catalytic active sites, resulting in a significant decrease in catalyst activity or even rapid deactivation when using aqueous ethanol directly.

[0005] (3) Insufficient stability: Existing catalysts are prone to carbon buildup and loss of active components. They have short operating cycles (usually less than 100 hours) and require frequent regeneration, which not only increases production energy consumption and costs but also affects the continuity of the reaction, making it difficult to meet the needs of continuous industrial production.

[0006] In the existing technology, the relevant improvement solutions still have obvious limitations: the MFI molecular sieve-supported ZnO and Zr catalyst disclosed in patent CN117500592A has an ethanol conversion rate of 97.9%, but the butadiene selectivity is only 38.7%, which is extremely poor catalytic selectivity; the Zr-based MFI molecular sieve catalyst disclosed in patent CN113996330B has a butadiene selectivity of 70%, but the ethanol conversion rate is only 40%, which cannot balance activity and selectivity; the Co-YPO4 bifunctional catalyst developed by Dalian University of Technology has improved the catalytic activity to a certain extent, but it still has problems such as insufficient stability and poor water resistance, and the operating cycle is less than 80 hours. Moreover, it has not solved the core problem of acid-base site synergy.

[0007] Therefore, developing a dedicated catalyst that combines precisely regulated acid-base active sites, good water resistance, high stability, and high catalytic efficiency, and overcoming the core defects of existing catalysts, is key to the industrialization of bioethanol to butadiene production technology. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the technical shortcomings of existing bioethanol-to-butadiene catalysts, such as acid-base imbalance, poor water resistance, insufficient stability, low catalytic efficiency, and numerous byproducts, this invention provides a highly efficient, stable, hydrophobic bifunctional catalyst and its preparation method. This catalyst is then applied to the bioethanol-to-butadiene production process. Through support modification, synergistic design of active components, and hydrophobic modification, the catalyst achieves simultaneous improvements in catalytic activity, selectivity, stability, and water resistance. It is suitable for the direct catalytic conversion of aqueous ethanol feedstocks, thereby reducing industrial catalytic costs.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention first provides a highly efficient and stable hydrophobic bifunctional catalyst, wherein the catalyst is a rare earth metal modified hydrophobic bifunctional molecular sieve catalyst, with a La-doped MFI hierarchical porous molecular sieve as the support, and loaded with active components and hydrophobic modifiers.

[0011] The active component consists of a main active component and a co-active component. The main active component is a Co-YPO4 complex, and the co-active component is one or two of Ag and Cu mixed in any proportion. The mass ratio of the main active component to the co-active component is 3-5:1.

[0012] Preferably, the mass ratio of the main active component to the auxiliary active component is 4:1, and the mass ratio of the auxiliary active component Ag to Cu is 1:1.

[0013] The hydrophobic modifier is polyvinylbenzene or silane coupling agent KH-570.

[0014] Preferably, the hydrophobic modifier is polyvinylbenzene, used to reduce hydrophilic sites on the catalyst surface and inhibit the poisoning of active sites by water molecules and the formation of carbon deposits.

[0015] Furthermore, the La-doped MFI hierarchical porous molecular sieve exhibits a microporous-mesoporous coexistence structure with a specific surface area of ​​350-550 m². 2 / g, with mesopore sizes of 2-50 nm and micropore sizes of 0.5-1.0 nm; the doping amount of La is 1-3% of the molecular sieve mass. The core function of La-doped MFI hierarchical porous molecular sieves is to precisely control the distribution of acid-base active sites in the molecular sieve, balance the ratio of Lewis acid sites and weakly Bronsted acid sites, promote the synergistic process of ethanol dehydrogenation and acetaldehyde condensation reaction, and at the same time enhance the structural stability of the support and inhibit the loss of active components.

[0016] The Co-YPO4 complex is prepared as follows: Cobalt nitrate, yttrium nitrate, and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate are dissolved in deionized water at a molar ratio of Co:Y:P = 1:1.2-1.5:1.0-1.2. After stirring evenly, the pH is adjusted to 4.5-5.5, and the mixture is stirred at a constant temperature of 60-80℃ for 2-4 hours. The mixture is then transferred to a hydrothermal reactor and hydrothermally reacted at 120-150℃ for 8-12 hours. After cooling, filtration, washing, and drying, the mixture is calcined at 450-550℃ for 3-5 hours to obtain the Co-YPO4 complex. The Co-YPO4 complex exhibits good dispersibility and high activity.

[0018] This invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned highly efficient and stable hydrophobic bifunctional catalyst, specifically including the following steps:

[0019] S1, Preparation of La-doped MFI hierarchical porous molecular sieve: Silicon source, aluminum source, La source, template agent and deionized water are mixed and stirred to form a gel. The gel is transferred to a hydrothermal reactor for hydrothermal crystallization, filtered, washed with deionized water until neutral, dried and calcined to completely remove the template agent, and La-doped MFI hierarchical porous molecular sieve is obtained.

[0020] S2, Loading active components: The La-doped MFI hierarchical porous molecular sieve prepared in step S1 is dispersed in deionized water and ultrasonically dispersed. The main active component Co-YPO4 complex and the auxiliary active component are added and stirred at a constant temperature to allow the active components to be fully adsorbed and loaded on the surface and pores of the support. Then, it is evaporated and concentrated to dryness and dried to obtain the molecular sieve precursor.

[0021] S3. Hydrophobic modification: The molecular sieve precursor obtained in step S2 is dispersed in anhydrous ethanol, a hydrophobic modifier is added, and ultrasonic dispersion is performed to uniformly coat the surface of the molecular sieve precursor with the hydrophobic modifier. The mixture is then refluxed to allow the hydrophobic modifier to form stable chemical bonds with the molecular sieve precursor. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture is filtered, washed 2-3 times with anhydrous ethanol to remove unreacted hydrophobic modifier, and then dried to obtain the highly efficient, stable, hydrophobic bifunctional catalyst.

[0022] In step S1, the silicon source is tetraethyl orthosilicate, the aluminum source is aluminum isopropoxide, the La source is lanthanum nitrate, and the template agent is tetrapropylammonium hydroxide; the molar ratio of the silicon source, aluminum source, La source, template agent, and deionized water is Si:Al:La:template agent:H2O = 100:2-5:1-3:10-15:300-400; the hydrothermal crystallization temperature is 160-180℃, and the time is 24-36h; the drying temperature is 100-120℃, and the time is 12-24h; the calcination temperature is 550-650℃, and the time is 4-6h.

[0023] Preferably, the hydrothermal crystallization temperature in step S1 is 170°C and the time is 30 hours; the calcination temperature is 600°C and the time is 5 hours.

[0024] In step S2, the deionized water is 10-15 times the mass of the La-doped MFI hierarchical porous molecular sieve; the ultrasonic dispersion time is 30-60 min with a power of 80 W; the constant temperature stirring temperature is 60-80℃ for 4-6 h; and the drying temperature is 100-120℃ for 12-24 h.

[0025] Preferably, the ultrasonic dispersion time in step S2 is 45 min; the constant temperature stirring temperature is 70℃ for 5 h; and the drying temperature is 110℃ for 18 h.

[0026] In step S3, the ratio of the molecular sieve precursor mass to the volume of anhydrous ethanol is 1g:20-30mL; the ultrasonic dispersion time is 20-30min, and the power is 80W; the reflux reaction temperature is 80-100℃, and the time is 2-3h; the drying temperature is 110-130℃, and the time is 8-12h.

[0027] Preferably, the ultrasonic dispersion time in step S3 is 25 min; the reflux reaction temperature is 90 °C and the time is 2.5 h; and the drying temperature is 120 °C and the time is 10 h.

[0028] The present invention also provides the application of the above-described highly efficient and stable hydrophobic bifunctional catalyst in the one-step preparation of butadiene from bioethanol.

[0029] The aforementioned highly efficient, stable, hydrophobic bifunctional catalyst can directly catalyze the conversion of 60-80% (w / w) aqueous ethanol, at a reaction temperature of 280-320℃, a reaction pressure of 0.3-0.6 MPa, and a feed mass hourly space velocity of 0.8-1.5 h⁻¹. -1 The volume ratio of raw gas to nitrogen is 1:3.

[0030] Preferably, the reaction temperature is 300℃, the reaction pressure is 0.4 MPa, and the feed mass hourly space velocity is 1.2 h⁻¹. -1 Its beneficial effects are that, under these conditions, when the highly efficient and stable hydrophobic bifunctional catalyst prepared in this invention is used for the catalytic reaction of bioethanol (70% ethanol by mass, containing water) to prepare butadiene, the ethanol conversion rate is ≥85%, the butadiene selectivity is ≥78%, the butadiene yield is ≥66%, the operating cycle is 180-220 h / cycle, it can be regenerated 5-6 times, and the cumulative operating cycle is ≥1000 h. When using 70% aqueous ethanol directly, the catalytic activity does not decrease significantly (activity retention rate ≥95%). Existing MgO / SiO2 catalysts have an ethanol conversion rate of 65-70%, butadiene selectivity of 55-60%, butadiene yield of 35-42%, and an operating cycle of ≤80h. When using 70% aqueous ethanol directly, the catalytic activity decreases by more than 40%. Existing Co-YPO4 bifunctional catalysts have an ethanol conversion rate of 78-80%, butadiene selectivity of 68-70%, butadiene yield of 53-56%, and an operating cycle of ≤80h. When using 70% aqueous ethanol directly, the catalytic activity decreases by more than 30%.

[0031] In summary, this invention provides a highly efficient and stable hydrophobic bifunctional catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Compared with existing technologies, the catalyst of this invention has the following significant advantages: (1) This invention is the first to organically integrate the La-doped MFI hierarchical porous molecular sieve support, Co-YPO4 main active component, Ag / Cu auxiliary active component and hydrophobic modifier to construct a bifunctional catalytic system of "support-main active-auxiliary active-hydrophobic modification", which is different from the existing single-function or simple mixed catalyst design. In existing technologies, MgO / SiO2 catalysts rely solely on single acid-base sites for catalysis, lacking synergistic activity of active components and hydrophobic protection, leading to frequent side reactions. Conventional Co-YPO4 bifunctional catalysts, while possessing basic dehydrogenation-coupling activity, fail to regulate acid-base site balance through rare earth doping or undergo hydrophobic modification, thus failing to address the issues of active site poisoning and loss. In contrast, this invention precisely regulates the ratio of Lewis acid sites to weakly Bronsted acid sites in the molecular sieve through La doping, forming a synergistic catalytic network with the (Co-OP) active species and Ag / Cu co-active components of the Co-YPO4 complex. Simultaneously, a hydrophobic surface layer is constructed using a hydrophobic modifier, achieving highly efficient synergy across the entire reaction process of "dehydrogenation-coupling-dehydration-anti-poisoning" at the mechanistic level. This avoids the limitations of single-active-component catalysis and solves the core problems of site imbalance and susceptibility to water molecule interference in existing synergistic systems.

[0032] (2) Based on the catalytic mechanism, it can be seen that the performance advantage of the catalyst of this invention is not a simple superposition of components, but a precise improvement achieved through the synergistic mechanism of each component. On the one hand, in the main active component Co-YPO4 complex, Co 2+ With PO4 3- The resulting stable (Co-OP) active species can efficiently catalyze the dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde, while Y 3+The sites can adsorb and activate acetaldehyde molecules, promoting the C-C coupling reaction between two acetaldehyde molecules and breaking through the rate-controlling step of ethanol to butadiene conversion. The Ag / Cu co-active components can reduce the activation energy of the ethanol dehydrogenation reaction, further increasing the dehydrogenation rate, while inhibiting the loss of Co and Y active components, forming a "dehydrogenation-activation" synergistic effect with the main active components. On the other hand, the hierarchical porous structure of the La-doped MFI configuration hierarchical porous molecular sieve support can shorten the diffusion path of substances such as ethanol and butadiene, improve mass transfer efficiency, reduce the residence time of products in the pores, and reduce the probability of carbon deposition. The core role of La doping is to precisely control the distribution of acid-base active sites, so that the ratio of Lewis acid sites to weakly Bronsted acid sites is optimal, ensuring the efficient progress of the acetaldehyde condensation reaction and avoiding side reactions caused by strong Bronsted acid sites (such as intramolecular dehydration of ethanol to form diethyl ether, intermolecular dehydration to form ethylene, etc.). Based on this precise regulation at the mechanistic level, the catalyst of this invention achieves an ethanol conversion rate of ≥85%, a butadiene selectivity of ≥78%, and a butadiene yield of ≥66%, which is far superior to existing MgO / SiO2 catalysts (conversion rate 65-70%, selectivity 55-60%) and conventional Co-YPO4 bifunctional catalysts (conversion rate 78-80%, selectivity 68-70%). At the same time, it effectively inhibits the formation of by-products, reduces the difficulty of subsequent product separation, and improves the economics of industrial production.

[0033] (3) Bioethanol fermentation products are mostly azeotropic mixtures containing 60-80% aqueous ethanol. Separating and purifying anhydrous ethanol requires a large amount of energy. One of the core problems of existing catalysts is their poor water resistance. The root cause is that there are a large number of hydrophilic sites on the catalyst surface, and water molecules are easily adsorbed on the surface of the active sites, leading to poisoning of the active sites and a significant decrease in catalytic activity. This invention addresses this mechanistic problem by specifically introducing polyvinylbenzene or silane coupling agent KH-570 as a hydrophobic modifier. Through a reflux reaction, the hydrophobic modifier forms a stable chemical bond with the molecular sieve precursor, constructing a dense hydrophobic layer on the catalyst surface. From the perspective of the catalytic mechanism, this hydrophobic layer can effectively repel water molecules and prevent water molecules from entering the catalyst channels and interacting with the active sites (Co). 2+ Y 3+ The catalyst combines with La-regulated acid-base sites to prevent poisoning of active sites. Simultaneously, the hydrophobic layer inhibits the adsorption of polar byproducts (such as brown oil) on the catalyst surface during the reaction, further reducing carbon deposition. This fundamentally solves the technical bottleneck of existing catalysts being unable to directly adapt to aqueous ethanol feedstocks. Test results show that when the catalyst of this invention is used directly with 70% aqueous ethanol, the catalytic activity retention rate is ≥95%, while the activity of existing MgO / SiO2 catalysts decreases by more than 40%, and the activity of conventional Co-YPO4 bifunctional catalysts decreases by more than 30%. This significantly reduces the cost of industrial raw material pretreatment and improves the practicality of the technology.

[0034] (4) This invention addresses both the catalytic mechanism and structural design to achieve a comprehensive improvement in stability: First, the La-doped MFI hierarchical porous molecular sieve support exhibits excellent structural stability. The introduction of La enhances the rigidity of the molecular sieve framework and inhibits pore collapse. Simultaneously, the weak interaction between La and the active components (Co, Y, Ag, Cu) effectively suppresses the loss of active components. Second, the Ag / Cu co-active components not only enhance catalytic activity but also act as "stabilizers," forming a synergistic effect with the Co-YPO4 complex to reduce Co content. 2+ Y 3+ The catalyst exhibits several key advantages: firstly, it prevents oxidation and loss; secondly, the hydrophobic layer formed by the hydrophobic modifier inhibits the adsorption of water molecules and polar byproducts, reducing carbon buildup and preventing carbon deposits from covering active sites and causing catalyst deactivation; and thirdly, the hierarchical porous structure shortens the mass transfer path, reducing product retention within the pores and further decreasing the probability of carbon buildup. Based on these multiple mechanistic protections, the catalyst of this invention can achieve a single operating cycle of 180-220 hours, can be regenerated 5-6 times, and has a cumulative operating cycle ≥1000 hours, far superior to existing catalysts (single operating cycle ≤80 hours). This significantly reduces the frequency of catalyst replacement and regeneration, lowers production energy consumption and catalytic costs, and fully meets the needs of continuous industrial production.
