Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of catalyst technology, and in particular to a catalyst, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] For a long time, human activities have heavily relied on fossil fuels. However, the excessive development and use of fossil fuels has led to carbon dioxide emissions and caused serious environmental and energy problems, including but not limited to the greenhouse effect and sea-level rise, which greatly hinder the achievement of carbon neutrality goals. Directly converting carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas generated by human activities, into high-value-added chemicals via catalytic hydrogenation is a favorable strategy to alleviate the current environmental and energy crisis and contribute to achieving this goal. Among various carbon dioxide hydrogenation reactions, compared to hydrogenation to long-chain olefins such as gasoline and diesel, the reverse water-gas reaction (CO2 + H2 = CO + H2O) is a powerful and effective way to eliminate the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide due to its low operating pressure and high equilibrium conversion rate. Furthermore, the reverse water-gas reaction can produce syngas with adjustable proportions, which can be coupled with downstream Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions to prepare a series of high-value-added chemicals, attracting widespread attention.
[0003] Under normal pressure, the reverse water-gas reaction is often affected by its side reaction, methanation (CO2 + 4H2 = CH4 + 2H2O), which reduces the product selectivity. This not only reduces the production efficiency of the product but also increases the cost of subsequent gas separation, further diminishing the industrial application value of the reaction. Therefore, developing a reverse water-gas change catalyst with high conversion and high selectivity is particularly important. Summary of the Invention

[0030] This application also provides a method for preparing a catalyst, comprising the following steps: The support was mixed with an Ir source and a Cu source, and the reaction yielded a Cu-Ir / supported catalyst. The carrier is CeO2.
[0031] Specifically, the support is dissolved in deionized water and then mixed with an Ir source and a Cu source to obtain a Cu-Ir / support catalyst after the reaction.

The raw materials are CO2 and H2.
[0038] This application preferably uses a fixed-bed reactor to carry out the above-mentioned reaction, wherein the catalyst described in any of the above technical solutions is loaded onto the fixed-bed reactor along with quartz sand for reaction. When the catalyst described in the above-mentioned technical solutions of this application is applied to the reverse water-gas shift reaction, the catalyst needs to be pre-reduced.
[0039] In some specific implementations, the mass ratio of the catalyst to the quartz sand is 0.01~0.05:1, preferably 0.01~0.03:1. In some specific implementations, the mesh size of the quartz sand is 30 mesh~70 mesh, preferably 40 mesh~60 mesh. In some specific implementations, the reducing gas is H2.

In some specific implementations, the reduction temperature is 400℃~800℃, preferably 500℃~700℃, the heating rate is 5℃ / min~20℃ / min, preferably 5℃ / min~15℃ / min, and the reduction time is 0.5h~4h, preferably 1h~3h.
[0040] After reduction, the reduced catalyst is used to catalyze the feed gas containing CO2 and H2 through a reverse water-gas shift reaction to obtain carbon monoxide product.
[0041] In some specific implementations, the volume ratio of CO2:H2 in the feed gas is 1~8:1, preferably 2~5:1, and more preferably 2~4:1. In some specific implementations, the reverse water-gas shift reaction further includes N2 as an internal standard gas, and the volume ratio of CO2:H2:N2 is 1~5:1:0.1~0.5, preferably 2~4:1:0.1~0.3.

[0042] In some specific implementations, more preferably, the temperature for the reverse water-gas reaction catalytic test is 600°C and the space velocity is 500 L / g / h. At the current temperature, the equilibrium conversion rate of the reaction is 60.3%, while at a high space velocity of 500 L / g / h, the catalyst conversion rate can deviate from the equilibrium conversion rate, preventing the generated carbon monoxide from being hydrogenated to methane in one step.
[0043] This application provides a catalyst comprising a support and an active component loaded on the support; the support is CeO2; the active component is Ir clusters and Cu atoms. The catalyst provided by this application exhibits good dispersibility, with Ir clusters and Cu atoms uniformly distributed on the CeO2 support.

All products from the reactor were introduced into a gas chromatograph (Shimadzu GC2014) in gaseous state. H2, CO, CO2, and N2 were separated by a TDX carbon molecular sieve column and analyzed by a thermal conductivity detector (TCD); other products were passed through a PONA capillary column and analyzed by a flame ionization detector (FID). Only carbon monoxide and methane were detected in the products. At the start of the test, pretreatment gas was introduced first, and the temperature was increased to 600°C at a rate of 10°C / min. After maintaining the temperature for 2 hours, the pretreatment gas was stopped and the raw material gas was introduced.
[0067] See the catalyst performance evaluation results. Figures 5-8 , Figure 5 The CO2 conversion results of the reverse water-gas shift reaction catalyzed by the Cu-Ir / CeO2-1 catalyst provided in Example 1 of this application, the Ir / CeO2-1 catalyst provided in Comparative Example 1, and the Cu / CeO2-1 catalyst provided in Comparative Example 2 are shown. Figure 6The results show the CO selectivity of the reverse water-gas shift reaction catalyzed by the Cu-Ir / CeO2-1 catalyst provided in Example 1, the Ir / CeO2-1 catalyst provided in Comparative Example 1, and the Cu / CeO2-1 catalyst provided in Comparative Example 2. Figure 7 The CO2 conversion rate test results of the reverse water-gas shift reaction catalyzed by the Cu-Ir / CeO2-2 catalyst provided in Example 2 and the Cu-Ir / CeO2-3 catalyst provided in Example 3 of this application are shown. Figure 8 The CO selectivity test results of the reverse water-gas shift reaction catalyzed by the Cu-Ir / CeO2-2 catalyst provided in Example 2 and the Cu-Ir / CeO2-3 catalyst provided in Example 3 of this application.
[0068] Depend on Figures 5-8 It can be seen that, compared with Ir / CeO2-1 and Cu / CeO2-1 catalysts supported on a single active component, Cu-Ir / CeO2 catalyst exhibits high CO2 conversion and CO selectivity, indicating that the introduction of Cu can increase its conversion of reactant CO2 and selectivity of product CO.
[0069] Experimental Example 3
[0070] In-situ transient gas-cutting surface reaction experiments were conducted on the catalysts of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. The results are shown in [reference needed]. Figure 9 , Figure 9 In-situ transient gas-cutting surface reaction experiments were conducted on the Cu-Ir / CeO2-1 catalyst provided in Example 1 and the Ir / CeO2-1 catalyst provided in Comparative Example 1 under carbon dioxide-hydrogen switching conditions. Figure 9 a represents the in-situ transient gas-cutting surface reaction experiment of the Cu-Ir / CeO2-1 catalyst provided in Example 1 of this application under carbon dioxide-hydrogen switching. Figure 9 b represents the in-situ transient gas-cutting surface reaction experiment of the Ir / CeO2-1 catalyst provided in Comparative Example 1 of this application under carbon dioxide-hydrogen switching. Figure 9 It can be seen that the Cu-Ir / CeO2-1 catalyst produces less CH4 than the Ir / CeO2-1 catalyst, which is consistent with the results of the fixed bed test, further demonstrating that the addition of Cu to the main catalyst can further reduce the generation of CH4.
