[0001] Cross-reference information
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411433330.X, filed on October 14, 2024, entitled "Magnesium-modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve, catalytic cracking propylene and ethylene production booster and preparation method thereof", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum catalytic cracking and catalytic pyrolysis materials, specifically involving a magnesium-modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve, a catalytic cracking agent for increasing propylene and ethylene production, and methods for preparing both. Background Technology
[0004] Significant progress has been made in the field of catalytic cracking (FCC), particularly in research aimed at increasing propylene production, in recent years. Propylene, as a key chemical feedstock, plays a vital role in numerous industrial applications; therefore, improving its yield and selectivity in FCC processes is a key research focus. Traditional FCC catalysts, such as acid-based ZSM-5 molecular sieves, have been modified to improve propylene yield by adjusting pore structure and acidity strength or introducing metal elements such as iron and nickel. In addition to the modification of single catalysts, the development of novel composite auxiliaries is also underway. These auxiliaries combine different catalytic properties, such as combining acidic ZSM-5 with basic substances, to achieve even higher propylene yields and selectivity.
[0005] Research on catalytic cracking additives for increasing propylene and ethylene production is constantly developing, primarily because propylene, as an important chemical feedstock, plays a crucial role in many industrial processes. Propylene is mainly used to produce various plastics, solvents, polymers, and other chemicals. With increasing global demand for these products, improving propylene production efficiency and yield has become an important research topic. Catalytic cracking is one of the main industrial methods for producing propylene. This process involves breaking down heavy oil molecules into a mixture of smaller molecules, including propylene, under the action of a catalyst. However, the yield of propylene in traditional catalytic cracking processes is relatively low, so researchers have been searching for methods to optimize this process.
[0006] In recent years, researchers have developed various additives to enhance propylene yield in catalytic cracking. These additives are typically special chemicals added to the catalyst to alter its properties, thereby improving propylene selectivity and yield. For example, some additives can increase the number of acidic sites on the catalyst, which helps promote the cracking reaction and increase propylene production. Besides chemical modification, the physical structure of the catalyst is also an important research area. By changing the pore size and pore structure of the catalyst, propylene yield can be further improved. For example, developing catalysts with larger pore sizes can promote the cracking of larger molecules, thus increasing propylene production. Furthermore, researchers are exploring the use of novel catalysts, such as molecular sieves, metal oxides, and acidic ion exchange resins. These novel catalysts may exhibit higher selectivity and stability, enabling efficient propylene production over longer periods. Overall, research on additives for enhancing propylene and producing ethylene in catalytic cracking is progressing rapidly, encompassing not only the chemical and physical modification of catalysts but also the development of entirely new catalytic systems. This research is of great significance for improving propylene production efficiency and meeting global market demand. With continuous technological advancements and innovation, we can expect even more breakthroughs and applications in the future.
[0007] Furthermore, surface modification of catalysts, such as the introduction of chemical groups like phosphorus or boron, has been shown to effectively regulate the acidity and basicity of catalysts, thereby optimizing propylene production. In catalyst design and preparation, researchers are also exploring more environmentally friendly methods, such as using biomass feedstocks or developing recyclable and regenerable catalysts to reduce environmental impact. Besides improvements to the catalyst itself, optimizing reaction conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and feedstock feed rate, has also proven crucial for increasing propylene yield. These research advances indicate that through continuous optimization of catalyst design and reaction conditions, catalytic cracking technologies for increasing propylene production are developing towards higher efficiency, higher selectivity, and greater environmental friendliness. With the discovery of new materials and the application of new technologies, more innovative catalytic cracking additives and processes are expected to emerge in the future to better meet the needs of industrial production, further promoting the development of the petroleum refining and chemical industries.
[0008] ZSM-5 molecular sieves have wide applications in the petrochemical and fine chemical industries. The unique characteristic of ZSM-5 lies in its highly ordered microporous structure and specific surface area. Its main applications include catalytic cracking, alkylation, and aromatics synthesis. Modification of ZSM-5 molecular sieves aims to improve their catalytic performance and adaptability. Modification methods include acid washing, metal doping, and surface modification. For example, by introducing metals such as iron, copper, and cobalt into ZSM-5, its acidity and catalytic activity can be altered, making it more suitable for specific chemical reactions. In the petrochemical industry, modified ZSM-5 is used to improve the efficiency and selectivity of petroleum cracking processes, thereby improving fuel quality and reducing harmful emissions. In the fine chemical industry, modification of ZSM-5 enables it to catalyze a wider range of reactions, such as the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates. Environmental modification of ZSM-5 is also significant. For example, modification can enhance the application of ZSM-5 in pollutant control, such as reducing nitrogen oxide emissions from vehicle exhaust.
[0009] With increasing environmental awareness and advancements in chemical processes, the research and application of ZSM-5 modification are receiving growing attention. Continuous optimization of modification methods can further enhance the performance of ZSM-5 molecular sieves and broaden their application range in the chemical industry. Traditional catalytic cracking technologies primarily rely on acidic molecular sieves, such as ZSM-5, which are widely used due to their unique pore structure and acidic properties. ZSM-5 molecular sieves, with their unique pore structure and high acidity, are considered ideal catalysts for improving olefin selectivity. However, these traditional catalysts face numerous challenges when processing heavy feedstocks, such as coke deposition, rapid deactivation of active sites, and limitations in olefin yield.
[0010] To improve the yield and selectivity of ethylene and propylene, researchers have attempted to optimize the catalytic performance of ZSM-5 molecular sieves by modifying them. These modification methods include controlling the pore structure, adjusting the acidity, and introducing new active components. In recent years, introducing basic components, such as magnesium hydroxide, onto the outer surface of ZSM-5 molecular sieves has become a promising approach. This method aims to create an alkaline environment on the outer surface of the molecular sieve, thereby providing dual catalytic action: acid catalysis in the internal pores and basic catalysis on the outer surface. However, the development of this novel catalyst faces several challenges. First, an effective method must be found to uniformly and stably load magnesium hydroxide colloid onto the outer surface of ZSM-5 molecular sieves. Second, the loaded magnesium hydroxide colloid should not interfere with the acidic properties of the internal pores of the molecular sieve. Furthermore, to achieve optimal catalytic performance, the loading amount of magnesium hydroxide colloid and the processing conditions of the molecular sieve need to be optimized. Summary of the Invention
[0011] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a magnesium-modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve, a catalytic cracking agent for increasing propylene and ethylene production, and a method for preparing both, thereby improving the yield and selectivity of low-carbon olefins during catalytic cracking.
[0012] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for preparing magnesium-modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve, comprising the following steps:
[0013] Mix ZSM-5 molecular sieve with water to form a slurry, add 5-15% of a pore-blocking agent by mass of ZSM-5 molecular sieve, and stir to block the pores of the molecular sieve. The pore-blocking agent includes one or more of nano-silica sol, polyacrylic acid nanoparticles, and polyvinyl alcohol nanoparticles. Then add pre-prepared magnesium hydroxide colloid and stir to load the magnesium hydroxide colloid onto the outer surface of the ZSM-5 molecular sieve.
[0014] The molecular sieve with the loaded colloid is removed, heated to 400-600℃ at a rate not exceeding 4℃ / min, and calcined at this temperature to obtain magnesium-modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve; wherein the mass content of magnesium in the magnesium-modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve, calculated as oxide (based on the mass of magnesium-modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve), is 3-10%.
[0015] Existing catalytic materials typically possess only single-acid or single-base catalytic properties, which limits their application range and efficiency in complex chemical reactions. Especially in reactions requiring simultaneous acid-base catalysis, traditional catalysts often fail to meet the requirements of high efficiency and high selectivity.
[0016] Conventional methods for modifying magnesium in molecular sieves use magnesium ions, which can cause reverse exchange with the blockage agents that fill the sieve channels, thus re-entering the channels and interfering with the acidic properties of the molecular sieve. This invention uses magnesium hydroxide colloid loaded onto the molecular sieve, which prevents the magnesium component from migrating into the sieve channels.
[0017] This invention uses nano-silica sol, polyacrylic acid nanoparticles, and other substances as pore-blocking agents. These materials effectively seal the pores of the molecular sieve, providing a stable outer surface for subsequent loading of magnesium hydroxide colloid. This sealing method differs from existing organic sealing methods and offers better control, ensuring that the acidic properties within the pores remain unaffected.
[0018] This invention controls the heating rate and calcination temperature after loading magnesium hydroxide colloid to prevent magnesium components from migrating into the molecular sieve framework or channels through solid phase under high-temperature calcination conditions. This allows the magnesium-modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve to simultaneously possess acid catalytic and base catalytic properties, significantly improving the selectivity and yield of propylene and ethylene during catalytic cracking.
[0019] This invention proposes a novel method for combining magnesium hydroxide colloid with ZSM-5 molecular sieve. By selectively loading magnesium hydroxide colloid onto the outer surface of ZSM-5 molecular sieve without entering the internal pores, an effective alkaline catalytic environment is provided on the outer surface of the molecular sieve without interfering with the internal pore structure and acidic properties. This allows the molecular sieve pores to maintain highly efficient acid catalysis, thereby enabling simultaneous acid-catalyzed and alkaline-catalyzed reactions in the same catalytic system.

[0065] This invention, by loading magnesium hydroxide colloid onto the outer surface of ZSM-5 molecular sieves, not only provides an effective alkaline catalytic environment on its outer surface but also does not interfere with the internal pore structure and acidic properties of the molecular sieve. This maintains highly efficient acid catalysis within the molecular sieve's pores, thereby enabling simultaneous acid and alkaline catalytic reactions in the same catalytic system. The catalyst designed in this invention significantly improves the selectivity and yield of propylene and ethylene during catalytic cracking, while reducing side reactions, coke formation, and the deactivation rate of the molecular sieve. This provides a more efficient and economical catalytic cracking solution for the petroleum refining and chemical industries. Attached Figure Description

[0155] Figure 1 shows the BET nitrogen adsorption-desorption curves of the magnesium-modified ZSM-5 molecular sieves prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Example 1. The pore structure data of the two modified molecular sieves are shown in Table 1.
[0156] Table 1. Pore structure properties of magnesium-modified ZSM-5 molecular sieves
[0157] Analysis of the pore structure properties shows that the magnesium-modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve prepared by the method of this invention exhibits significantly higher specific surface area and pore volume, superior to the comparative sample. This indicates that during the magnesium modification process, magnesium species are uniformly distributed on the surface of the molecular sieve without significantly blocking the pores. Conversely, in the molecular sieve prepared in the comparative example, the non-uniform accumulation of magnesium species within the pores leads to a significant decrease in specific surface area and pore volume. This result further demonstrates the effectiveness of the method of this invention in maintaining the openness of the molecular sieve pores.
[0158] Figure 2 shows an AC-STEM image of the magnesium-modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve in Example 2. As can be seen from the figure, the pores of the molecular sieve are relatively unobstructed, with no obvious blockage. Furthermore, the magnesium element is evenly distributed on the outer surface of the molecular sieve, and no large particle aggregation was observed. In addition, the crystal structure of the molecular sieve remains intact, with no obvious lattice distortion.
[0159] The pore volume and wear index of the additives in the above examples and comparative examples were tested, and the results are shown in Table 2. The catalyst pore volume was determined by the water droplet method, standard number NB / SH / T 0955; the wear index was determined by an MS-C / 6 wear index analyzer manufactured by Shenyang Kehui Instrument Manufacturing Co., Ltd., standard number NB / SH / T 0964.
[0160] Table 2 Pore volume and strength of catalysts
[0161] Table 2 shows the pore volume and wear index data for different additives, and in particular, by comparing with comparative samples, demonstrates the superiority of the additives of the present invention in these two key indicators. The pore volume of the additives in Table 2 ranges from 0.32 to 0.35 cm³. 3 / g, with an attrition index ranging from 0.9% to 2.4%. In contrast, the comparative samples (D1 to D4) showed significantly higher attrition indices, reaching a maximum of 15.8%. These data indicate that the additives of this invention exhibit better stability and durability during use, with more uniform pore volume, which is beneficial for improving catalytic efficacy.
[0162] Table 2 shows the performance advantages of the additive of the present invention in terms of pore volume and strength, highlighting its excellent performance in catalytic cracking. Pore volume and strength have a significant impact on the final catalytic effect of the additive. A larger pore volume provides more active sites and enhances reaction activity, while a lower wear index ensures the mechanical strength and durability of the additive in practical applications. The data in Table 1 show that the additive of the present invention has been optimized in terms of pore volume and strength, resulting in superior catalytic cracking performance.
[0163] Experimental Example 1
[0164] This experimental example is used to evaluate the reaction performance of the above-mentioned catalytic cracking aid.
[0165] The performance evaluation of the additives was conducted in a fixed fluidized bed reactor.

[0170] The components of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) include C3 and C4 components, including propylene.
[0171] Table 5 Results of catalytic reaction
[0172] Based on the test results shown in Table 5, it can be seen that all embodiments (S1 to S7) of the present invention significantly improved the selectivity and yield of propylene and ethylene, and reduced the occurrence of side reactions. Specifically, the additives in the embodiments were superior to the comparative examples (D1 to D4) in terms of propylene yield, ethylene yield, and liquefied gas yield. For example, the propylene yield in embodiment S7 reached 10.53%, significantly higher than the 5.69% in comparative example D1. In addition, the dry gas yield of the additives in each embodiment was lower than that in the comparative example, indicating that the occurrence of side reactions was suppressed.
[0173] Based on comparative analysis, this invention provides a unique acid-base bifunctional catalytic environment by loading magnesium hydroxide colloid onto the outer surface of ZSM-5 molecular sieve. This key approach significantly improves the selectivity of propylene and ethylene, and effectively reduces coke formation and the deactivation rate of additives. Compared to the comparative examples, the significant advantages of the examples in improving propylene and ethylene yields further verify the important role of loading magnesium hydroxide colloid onto the outer surface of ZSM-5 molecular sieve. This indicates that by optimizing the surface structure of the molecular sieve, this invention improves catalytic cracking efficiency.
