The reuse method of waste and old methanol-to-olefin catalyst fine powder
Technical field
The present invention relates to a point a kind of reuse method of waste and old methanol-to-olefins (MTO) catalyst fines.
Background technology
Methanol-to-olefins technology (hereinafter referred to as MTO technology) is the high-end core technology in world energy sources chemical field.The methyl alcohol that it is made with coal or natural gas, for raw material, becomes important industrial chemicals-light olefin (ethene and propylene) through MTO technology process change, and then derives numerous olefines chemical products.For the national conditions of China's " rich coal of oil starvation weak breath ", this realizes with the revolutionary industrial technology of coal petroleum replacing.Become the core technology of national great energy strategy.But the core of this type of technology is catalyst, because methanol to olefins reaction carries out in a fluidized bed reactor, therefore, the activity of catalyst and wearability are particularly important.
Numerous microspherical catalyst preparation method that patent describes for MTO reaction.Up to the present, the SAPO-34 molecular sieve with CHA topological structure is considered to the optimum activity component of MTO catalysts, and wherein US Patent No. 4440871 and US5279810 all describe SAPO-34 molecular sieve preparation method.
The molecular sieve molded method of SAPO-34 that it is carrier that US4987110 patent discloses with kaolin, Ludox is binding agent, CN102284302A patent also discloses a kind of methanol-to-olefin catalyst method for preparing microsphere, and Dalian Chemiclophysics Inst., Chinese Academy of Sciences patent CN101121148.2008 discloses a kind of direct forming method of fluidized reaction catalyst containing molecular sieve.In order to improve the intensity of MTO catalyst further, domestic and international researcher has carried out again a large amount of exploratory experiments, such as, US7214844B2.2007 patent discloses the forming method improving MTO catalyst scuff resistance, and the method reduces the abrasion index of preformed catalyst to greatest extent by optimizing each component proportion in preparation; In the patent CN1341584A.2002 of Praxair Technology, Inc's application, disclose the scuff resistance that a kind of method by reducing active component consumption improves catalyst, the shortcoming of the method is to significantly limit catalyst usefulness in the reaction; Same pointing out in US Patent No. 20070249885A1.2007, by burin-in process certain hour under mild conditions after binding agent, carrier and molecular sieve mixed pulp, can improve the scuff resistance of preformed catalyst effectively.Dalian Inst of Chemicophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences patent CN101121531.2008 and US Patent No. 6153552A points out that in the molecular sieve molded slurries of SAPO-34, add phosphorus source both can improve catalyst strength, also can improve catalytic performance.
But it is carry out in the recirculating fluidized bed with successive reaction-regeneration that the technical characterstic of methanol to olefins reaction determines reaction, there is the physical process that frequent impact, reunion etc. are complicated in solid particle behavior.Constantly catalyst fines can be produced in whole process, if these catalyst fines discarded will bring serious problems to environmental protection, catalyst is expensive simultaneously, if the recycling of these catalyst can be realized, the environmental problem that catalyst fines brings can be solved on the one hand, make it to turn waste into wealth; Catalyst cost can be reduced on the other hand, and then reduce methanol-to-olefins cost.
Chinese patent CN1207097C reports the catalyst fines and part SAPO-34 molecular sieve that utilize component loops fluidized reaction to reclaim, binding agent, carrier, peptizing agent is mixed into homogeneous slurry, then spray-dried technique prepares methanol-to-olefin catalyst, be of value to by the recovery of attrition particles and application and waste is minimized, thus reduce environment and economy restriction problem, but do not consider in this patent in catalyst fines due to containing carbon distribution, the compositions such as binding agent, and these compositions distributional difference in catalyst fines is larger, not treated direct and SAPO-34 molecular sieve, binding agent, the shaping obtained catalyst of the mixed atomizings such as carrier cannot reach raw catalyst intensity and catalytic performance.
Take into account the problems referred to above in patent CN102389834A, catalyst fines is first removed carbon distribution through roasting and catalyst breakage is realized molecular sieve and is separated with binding agent, matrix etc., the materials such as the binding agent that separation is peeled off and medium carrier use as the filling in raw catelyst, then the pure auxiliary agent such as SAPO-34 molecular sieve, binding agent, filler to be mixed with the catalyst fines processed and shaping, make the catalyst fines of recovery realize recycling by this method, thus reduce catalyst cost.
