Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst preparation technology, specifically to a sulfur-doped catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Acrylic acid is an important organic chemical raw material, widely used in the production of polyacrylates, superabsorbent resins, flocculants, dispersants, and other polymer materials. It plays an irreplaceable role in coatings, textiles, building materials, and water treatment. Currently, the mainstream industrial process for producing acrylic acid involves a two-step oxidation of propylene from acrolein. The second step, "oxidation of acrolein to acrylic acid," is the key step determining the yield and purity of the main product. The core of this reaction lies in the development of highly active and selective catalysts.
[0003] In existing technologies, the catalysts for the oxidation of acrolein to acrylic acid are mainly molybdenum-vanadium (Mo-V) metal oxide catalysts. Simultaneously, key auxiliary agents such as tungsten (W), copper (Cu), and antimony (Sb) are introduced to synergistically regulate catalyst performance, ensuring catalyst activity, selectivity, and lifespan. Specifically, Mo-V acts as the catalyst matrix, forming the core active phase and providing lattice oxygen responsible for the activation of C–H bonds and the insertion of O atoms in acrolein. W is doped into the Mo-V lattice, improving the catalyst's thermal stability, anti-sintering ability, and mechanical strength. Cu and Mo form CuMoO4, increasing the acidic sites on the catalyst surface, enhancing the adsorption and activation of acrolein, while also improving redox cycle capability and increasing acrylic acid selectivity. Sb acts as a structural auxiliary agent, stabilizing the active phase, inhibiting the aggregation and loss of active components, and fine-tuning the catalyst surface acidity and oxygen migration rate to reduce deep oxidation and improve resistance to coking.
[0004] Existing technologies, such as invention patents CN101328116B, CN101274279B, CN101507927B, CN102451702B, and CN112547082B, incorporate heteroatoms such as alkaline earth metals, Nb, Te, Ce, La, Nd, Sm, Cs, and Ge during catalyst preparation to improve the acidity of the catalyst surface and the redox capacity of the active centers, thereby enhancing catalyst activity and acrylic acid selectivity. Furthermore, invention patent CN106881101B discloses a method using elemental silicon as a diluent to improve the thermal conductivity of the catalyst, avoid surface hotspots, and enhance catalyst activity and selectivity. Invention patent CN114425382B discloses a method utilizing the excellent binding properties and thermal stability of AlPO4 to improve the dispersibility and stability of the active phase of the catalyst, thereby increasing acrylic acid selectivity. Patent CN112439441B discloses a method of incorporating high-strength powders such as potassium titanate and silicon nitride into the catalyst raw powder to improve catalyst strength.
[0005] The aforementioned patents provide numerous methods for improving the catalytic activity, structural stability, and selectivity of the Mo-VW-Cu-Sb pentagonal metal oxide system in the oxidation of acrolein to acrylic acid. However, in practical applications, drawbacks remain, such as long preparation processes, expensive raw materials, and impacts on product distribution or catalyst stability. Therefore, providing a highly efficient catalyst with a low activation temperature and long stability has promising market application prospects. Furthermore, in the propylene oxidation to acrylic acid reaction, the total sulfide content in the raw materials must be below 5 ppm to avoid catalyst sulfur poisoning, which results in high initial material purification costs for industrial plants. Therefore, a catalyst with strong sulfur resistance is beneficial for reducing raw material requirements, thereby lowering production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0094] The experiment was conducted in a side-stream reaction tube containing two fixed beds. The first fixed bed was used for in-situ generation of acrolein, and the second fixed bed was used to test the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3. The specific reaction conditions were: propylene / water / air1 / nitrogen / air2 = 1 / 1.00 / 8.13 / 2.40 / 2.39, and the propylene space velocity in the first fixed bed was 90 h⁻¹. -1 The propylene concentration was 8.0%, the inlet pressure was 40 kPa, and the temperature was 330℃; the outlet pressure of the second-stage fixed bed was 20 kPa, and the reaction temperature was 255-260℃. Gas chromatography was used to analyze the reaction performance of the second-stage fixed bed, and the specific results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0096]
[0097] As shown in Table 1, Examples 1, 2, 4 and Comparative Example 1, adding non-metallic sulfur to the Mo-VW-Cu-Sb pentagonal metal oxide can lower the catalyst reaction temperature. With a 5°C decrease in reaction temperature, the catalyst's conversion rate of acrolein increased from 98.11% to 99.98%, and the yield of acrylic acid increased from 90.25% to 97.89%. Figure 1 It can be seen that the hot spot temperature distribution of catalyst STL-R2-S0.5 is effectively reduced compared with catalyst STL-R2-S0*, with the highest temperature decreasing from 295.7℃ to 284.1℃. This feature can effectively extend the service life of the catalyst.
[0098] pass Figure 2 It can be seen that the binding energy of Cu decreases after doping with S, which is beneficial to increasing the catalytic activity. Meanwhile, Comparative Example 2 shows that replacing copper nitrate with copper sulfate in the reaction system can also lower the reaction temperature and increase the acrylic acid yield by 92.77%, but it does not effectively reduce the catalyst hotspot and cannot flexibly change the S content in the catalyst system. Comparative Example 3 shows that in the catalyst synthesis process, using the "one-pot method" to synthesize the target catalyst resulted in not only a high catalyst bed hotspot temperature, but also an acrylic acid yield of only 86.46%, indicating the necessity of a stepwise method for catalyst preparation.
[0099] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 3, increasing the separation ratio of the Mo-VW-Cu-Sb pentagonal metal salt from 10% to 15% has little impact on the catalyst activity.
[0100] Examples 1, 5, and 6 show that different sulfur raw materials have strong universality for the Mo-VW-Cu-Sb pentagonal metal oxide catalyst, but thiourea has the best effect and can achieve the best reaction conditions.
[0101] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 7, using thiourea as a sulfur dopant, copper sulfate raw material cannot improve the catalyst performance.
[0102] 2. Catalyst Sulfur Resistance Experiment
[0103] Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were compared using the same two-stage fixed-bed reactor as the catalyst evaluation experiment, except that the propylene introduced into the reactor contained trace amounts of SO2. The experimental results are shown in Table 2.
[0104] Table 2 Comparison of sulfur resistance performance between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1
[0105]
[0106] Table 2 shows that when the SO2 content in the reactants increased from 0 to 100 ppm, the acrolein conversion rate of catalyst STL-R2-S0.5 remained between 98.77% and 99.98%, and the acrylic acid yield remained between 96.72% and 97.89%. Catalyst STL-R2-S0*, however, showed a significant negative correlation; that is, when the SO2 content increased to 10 ppm, the acrolein conversion rate and acrylic acid yield decreased slightly; further increasing the SO2 content to 50 ppm or even 100 ppm significantly reduced both the acrolein conversion rate and acrylic acid yield, reaching a minimum of less than 50%. This indicates that actively introducing sulfur during the synthesis of the Mo-VW-Cu-Sb pentagonal metal oxide can improve the catalyst's sulfur resistance.
