Technical field
The present invention relates to the sample preparation methods of a kind of alumina load molybdenum sulfide (tungsten) base activity of hydrocatalyst phase in petroleum refining industry, the method is at molybdenum disulfide (or the tungsten that uses transmission electron microscope to alumina load, or molybdenum, the two has concurrently tungsten) microscopic appearance of catalyst hydrogenation activity phase is while learning research, can adopt a kind of general sample preparation methods based on hydrofluorite chemical etching and subsequent treatment process, application the method can effectively be got rid of the contrast of alumina support and disturb, improve the active phase statistics efficiency of molybdenum disulfide and obtain the crucial pattern parameter of its <001> direction projection.
Background technology
For alumina load molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) class Hydrobon catalyst conventional in current domestic petroleum refining industry, the research of the active phase microscopic appearance of its molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) has the researching value of particular importance.The microstructural parameter (the stacking number of plies, platelet length, true profile etc.) that can effectively obtain the active phase of molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) becomes the important foundation of related industries Catalyst Design.
All the time, transmission electron microscope is the effective means of the active phase pattern of molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) research.But there is obviously limitation for the observation of the active phase of the molybdenum disulfide on alumina support (tungsten) in CEM.The one, due to the impact of the interference of carrier contrast, orientation problem and electron microscope operating parameter etc., only can obtain the microscopic appearance of the active phase of part molybdenum disulfide, molybdenum disulfide observation efficiency is lower than 10%; The 2nd, because carrier contrast is disturbed, molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) nano particle only can obtain two-dimensional projection's picture (obtaining structural parameters is the stacking number of plies, platelet length), and true profile profile and the defective bit etc. of the 3rd dimension of molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) particle (being <001> direction projection gained) cannot obtain all the time, this causes industrial molybdenum base activity of hydrocatalyst essence to carry out source problem and lacks all the time key evidence.
At present limited several acquisition support type molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) active phase topography research meanses (as annular dark, Three Dimensional Reconfiguration etc.) all need to use expensive specialized equipment, complicated operation and cannot investigate the catalyst sample that uses alumina support.If the contrast that can adopt certain means effectively to get rid of alumina support is disturbed, obtain the stabilising system of the active phase nano particle of pure molybdenum disulfide (tungsten), and use it for conventional transmission electron microscope research, will be expected to become the active phase research means of a kind of cheap, convenient, effective molybdenum disulfide (tungsten).
Summary of the invention
The applicant by correlative study and analyze find, consider from the principles of chemistry, alumina species has both sexes, can with strong acid or highly basic class substance reaction.Therefore, in use strong acid, highly basic class matter theory, say the system that realize complete reaction with alumina support and then obtain the active phase of pure molybdenum disulfide.But practical operation is got up, there is obvious deviation with theory in reality.Explore experiment early stage and show only to have hydrofluorite can obtain good etching effect as chemical etchant, gained suspension liquid cording has the operability of carrying out transmission electron microscope observing simultaneously.The practical application effect extreme difference of the etching agent such as hydrochloric acid, NaOH, long-time reaction also only has the etching efficiency that is no more than 20%, does not possess follow-up study completely and is worth.
Even if hydrofluorite is feasible as chemical etchant practical operation, still have many practical problemss to need to solve.One is the optimization of etching technics parameter, comprises the selection of consumption, reaction time, temperature of reaction of hydrofluorite etc.; The 2nd, the processing of hydrofluoric acid containing tail washings after etching, how to realize molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) nano particle and tail washings effective separation of (comprising the reaction product of unreacted hydrofluorite and hydrofluorite and aluminium oxide), both ensured that the active phase nano particle of molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) can not have loss along with this processing procedure, avoided again hydrofluorite and the interference of fluorine aluminium compound to transmission electron microscopy sample preparation process.
For this problem, the present invention proposes a kind of sample preparation methods that uses transmission electron microscope studying alumina load sulphided state molybdenum (tungsten) base activity of hydrocatalyst phase, the chemical etching process conditions of hydrofluorite are optimized, adopt specific tail washings last handling process simultaneously, in the effective separation that ensures to have realized under the active prerequisite of not suffering a loss mutually of molybdenum disulfide tail washings, be convenient to the follow-up sample preparation for transmission electron microscope observing.
Based on above-mentioned research and experiment, the present invention proposes following technical scheme:
A kind of sample preparation methods of alumina load molybdenum sulfide (tungsten) base activity of hydrocatalyst phase, use hydrofluorite to mix with alumina load molybdenum sulfide (tungsten) base hydrogenation catalyst as chemical etchant, hydrofluorite consumption is 5-30 times of the contained alumina support total overall reaction of relative catalyzer stoichiometric amount, stirring and control the reaction time is 1-12 hour, and the mixture system obtaining after reaction obtains through centrifugal, ultrasonic concussion, alcohol-water exchange process the nanoscale molybdenum sulfide sample suspension of observing use as transmission electron microscopy.
Such scheme further comprises:
The mixture system treatment step obtaining after reaction is: first pass through centrifugal, cast out after supernatant and wash with deionized water, again centrifugal after sonic oscillation, cast out supernatant, repeat 2-3 time with this, all give up supernatant at every turn, in the centrifugal product that finally contains nanometer molybdenum sulfide at gained, add absolute ethyl alcohol, after sonic oscillation, obtain stable nano molybdenum disulfide-alcohol suspension.
Described hydrofluorite is the hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution of concentration 38-55%; Described centrifugal be centrifugal 10-20 minute under rotating speed 3000-10000 rev/min condition on supercentrifuge; Add sonic oscillation 10-30 minute after absolute ethyl alcohol.
Temperature of reaction is 35-45 DEG C, etching time 1-4 hour.
The method is in the time that the microscopic appearance of molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) the catalyst hydrogenation activity phase that uses transmission electron microscope to alumina load is learned research, the general sample preparation technology of one that can adopt, apply this technology and can effectively get rid of the contrast of alumina support and disturb, improve molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) active phase statistics efficiency and obtain the crucial pattern parameter of its <001> direction projection.Using transmission electron microscope studying alumina load molybdenum sulfide (tungsten) activity of hydrocatalyst phase time, the existence of alumina catalyst support tends to the microscopic appearance of molybdenum disulfide contained in catalyzer (tungsten) hydrogenation activity phase to observe and produce very serious negative influence, cause lower sample statistics efficiency, and the statistics rule larger with time of day deviation.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment in detail technical scheme of the present invention and feature are described in detail:
Embodiment 1(is etching comparative example not)
Do not use the sample-pretreating method of hydrofluorite chemical etching, use the molybdenum disulfide/aluminium oxide catalyst (molybdenum disulfide charge capacity be 10%) of transmission electron microscope to low content of metal to carry out microscopic appearance research.In practical operation, find, under the contrast of alumina support is disturbed, be difficult to effectively observe the existence of the active phase nano particle of molybdenum disulfide, 20 photos are added up the molybdenum disulfide sample number obtaining lower than 150.The statistical research of pattern parameter distribution shows, the molybdenum disulfide relative content few (lower than 5%) of Monolayer Dispersion.
For the molybdenum sulfide/aluminium oxide catalyst (molybdenum disulfide charge capacity is 5%) of lower content of metal, through transmission electron microscope observing, result shows that now the contrast interference of alumina support is very serious, substantially cannot observe effective molybdenum disulfide sample.
Embodiment 2
This example is for the present invention's application hydrofluorite is as the embodiment of chemical etchant.Investigating object is still the molybdenum sulfide/aluminium oxide catalyst (molybdenum disulfide charge capacity is 10%) of the low content of metal in embodiment 1.
The concrete reaction conditions of hf etching is:
In plastic beaker, add approximately 0.3 gram of molybdenum disulfide/aluminium oxide catalyst sample (black), the hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution of 8 gram 47% and 20ml deionized water, under vigorous stirring state, room temperature reaction 8 hours, obtains a black suspension.This solution is moved in centrifuge tube, on supercentrifuge centrifugal 15 minutes (centrifuge speed 3000-10000 rev/min), cast out supernatant in pipe, add 5ml deionized water, the even black suspension of getting back after sonic oscillation, gives up supernatant after again centrifugal, and this step repeats 2-3 time altogether.In the centrifugal product finally obtaining, add 5ml absolute ethyl alcohol, within sonic oscillation 10-30 minute, obtain stable, a uniform black suspension.This suspending liquid liquid under static state can keep stablizing 2 hours above and do not occur obvious solid-liquid lamination.This molybdenum disulfide-alcohol suspension system can be used for follow-up transmission electron microscope observing.
The alcohol suspension of the nanometer MOS 2 particle of preparing with this sample treatment carries out sample preparation and passes through transmission electron microscope observing, EDX energy spectrometer shows that the relative content of aluminium oxide exceedes 400 lower than the molybdenum disulfide sample number that can add up in 0.5%, 20 photo.The statistical research of pattern parameter distribution shows, in the relative embodiment 1 of molybdenum disulfide relative content of Monolayer Dispersion, etching sample has not had obvious increase (approaching 15%).This shows the sample pre-treatments preparation means that adopts hydrofluorite chemical etching to use transmission electron microscope microscopic appearance to observe as alumina load molybdenum disulfide hydrogenation catalyst, alumina support disturbs effectively to be got rid of, obtained higher statistical efficiency, the active phase statistical distribution of the molybdenum disulfide rule simultaneously obtaining more approaches time of day.And likely cause this catalyzer microscopic appearance research to obtain wrong conclusion without the transmission electron microscope results of the sample of over etching processing.
Embodiment 3
In this example, change the temperature of reaction of hydrofluorite chemical etching.Hydrofluorite chemical etching reaction conditions is basic consistent with embodiment 2, only temperature of reaction is changed to 40 DEG C by normal temperature.Etching rate testing result shows, uses the thermal rection condition that adds in certain limit, and the etch rate of alumina support can significantly improve, and can foreshorten to 2 hours by 8-10 hour, and alumina support etching rate reaches more than 99%.Meanwhile, the microscopic appearance of the active phase of molybdenum disulfide obtaining after etching is through transmission electron microscope observing, and the relative embodiment 2 of statistics rule of its pattern parameter has no obviously and departs from.
Embodiment 4(salt acid etch comparative example)
Adopt the catalyzer object investigated in embodiment 2 and with the similar reaction conditions of hydrofluorite, only changing chemical etchant is hydrochloric acid.Practical operation finds, though hydrochloric acid consumption reach with catalyzer in alumina support complete reaction stoichiometry 30-60 doubly, the reaction time is 8 hours, the etching efficiency of alumina support only has 17.5%.And hydrochloric acid consumption is less, etching efficiency is lower.And continue to strengthen hydrochloric acid consumption, in the same time, etching rate is no more than 20%.
Embodiment 5(NaOH etching comparative example)
Adopt the catalyzer object investigated in embodiment 2 and with the similar reaction conditions of hydrofluorite, only changing chemical etchant is NaOH.Practical operation finds, though sodium hydroxide concentration reach with catalyzer in alumina support complete reaction stoichiometry 15-60 doubly, the reaction time is 8 hours, the etching efficiency of alumina support is no more than 8%.Continue to increase sodium hydroxide concentration, can be because system viscosity is excessive, cause post-processing step effectively to carry out.
Embodiment 6
This example is for application hydrofluorite is as the embodiment of chemical etchant.Investigate the sulphided state tungsten disulfide/aluminium oxide catalyst (tungsten disulfide charge capacity is 10%) of the low content of metal of object.
The concrete reaction conditions of hf etching and post-treatment condition all with embodiment 2 are consistent as investigating when object taking molybdenum disulfide catalyst.Finally can obtain equally stable, a uniform black suspension.This suspending liquid can under static state keep stablizing 2 hours above and do not occur obvious solid-liquid lamination.This tungsten disulfide-alcohol suspension system can be used for follow-up transmission electron microscope observing.
The alcohol suspension of the Wolfram disulfide nano particle of preparing with this sample-pretreating method carries out sample preparation and passes through transmission electron microscope observing, EDX energy spectrometer shows that the relative content of aluminium oxide exceedes 400 lower than the molybdenum disulfide sample number that can add up in 0.4%, 20 photo.Sample pre-treatments preparation means when this shows to adopt hydrofluorite chemical etching to can be used as equally alumina load tungsten disulfide activity of hydrocatalyst to use mutually transmission electron microscope to carry out microscopic appearance research, alumina support disturbs and can effectively be got rid of, and has obtained higher statistical efficiency.
Comprehensive above embodiment comparative analysis, in the time using conventional transmission electron microscope to be applied to sulphided state molybdenum (tungsten) the base activity of hydrocatalyst phase topography research of alumina load, the contrast serious interference of alumina support affects active phase topography statistical efficiency, and statistical law easy and time of day generation relatively large deviation in the time of low charge capacity.The present invention has designed the sample preparation methods of a kind of use transmission electron microscope studying alumina load molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) base activity of hydrocatalyst phase, the method is in the time that the microscopic appearance of the molybdenum disulfide catalyst hydrogenation activity phase that uses transmission electron microscope to alumina load is learned research, apply this technology and can effectively get rid of the contrast interference of alumina support, can improve nearly 3 times to the active phase statistics of the molybdenum disulfide of low charge capacity catalyst system efficiency, obtain the pattern parameter distribution rule that more approaches time of day.Especially, can obtain the crucial pattern parameter of molybdenum disulfide (tungsten) nano particle along <001> direction projection by the method, for the element tasks such as this area inner catalyst research and development provide crucial foundation.
