Description

Alpha-alumina carrier and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst carriers, and relates to an alpha-alumina carrier, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Under the action of silver catalyst, ethylene is oxidized to produce ethylene oxide and side reaction to produce carbon dioxide, water, etc. with activity, selectivity and stability as the main performance indexes of silver catalyst. By activity is meant the reaction temperature required for the ethylene oxide production process to reach a certain reaction load. The lower the reaction temperature, the higher the activity of the catalyst. By selectivity is meant the ratio of the moles of ethylene converted to ethylene oxide in the reaction to the total moles of ethylene reacted. The stability is expressed as the rate of decrease in activity and selectivity, and the smaller the rate of decrease, the better the stability of the catalyst. The silver catalyst with high activity, high selectivity and good stability is used in the process of producing ethylene oxide by oxidizing ethylene, so that the economic benefit can be greatly improved, and the preparation of the silver catalyst with high activity, high selectivity and good stability is the main direction of research on the silver catalyst. The performance of the silver catalyst is not only important in relation to the composition of the catalyst and the preparation method, but also important in relation to the performance of the carrier used in the catalyst and the preparation method.
The preparation method of the silver catalyst mainly comprises two processes of preparing a porous carrier (such as alumina) and applying an active component and an auxiliary agent to the carrier. The carrier is alpha-alumina with small specific surface area. The alumina has more than ten crystal forms, wherein the common crystal forms include alpha, gamma, theta, eta, and the like. Among these phases, the alpha phase is a stable phase, directly affecting the performance of the silver catalyst.
The main raw material for preparing the alumina carrier is aluminum hydroxide, and the alumina is a dehydration product of alumina oxide, so that the physical properties of the alumina and the aluminum hydroxide are closely related, and the physical properties of the aluminum hydroxide are influenced by the preparation conditions thereof, which mainly include raw material, neutralization pH temperature, aging pH and temperature, and the like. In the process of preparing the alumina carrier, various different alumina powder raw materials (and/or) are selected and added with pore-forming agents, binders, various additives and the like, the materials are mixed and kneaded uniformly, then the mixture is extruded and molded into blanks (Raschig rings, spherical particles, porous columns, saddle shapes and the like) with different shapes, and finally the blanks are sintered at the temperature of 1200-1700 ℃ to prepare the porous heat-resistant alpha-alumina carrier product, so that the proportion of the alumina raw materials with different types and particle sizes, the dosage of the pore-forming agents, the molding mode, the calcining system and the like can influence the pore structure and the physical performance of the silver catalyst carrier, and further influence the performance of the catalyst.
It is an important research direction to add other components to the alumina carrier to improve the carrier performance of the silver catalyst, and meanwhile, an auxiliary agent is often added in the preparation process of the silver catalyst carrier to improve the carrier performance. Although the prior art adopts methods of adding alkaline earth metal compounds into alumina raw materials to improve alumina carriers, and the like, to bring different degrees of improvement on the activity and selectivity of the catalyst, the requirements on the performance of the alumina carriers are continuously increased along with the large-scale industrial application of high-selectivity silver catalysts, but the improvement on the performance of the carriers and the activity and selectivity of the catalysts caused by singly adding the alkaline earth metal compounds is limited.
Therefore, there is a problem in that research and development of a method capable of improving the activity and selectivity of the catalyst to a greater extent are required.

Detailed Description
In order that the invention may be readily understood, a detailed description of the invention is provided below.
As mentioned above, the mere addition of alkaline earth metal compounds has limited improvement in the support properties and the activity and selectivity of the catalyst. In order to improve the performance of the alpha-alumina carrier, the inventor has made a great deal of research on the alpha-alumina carrier, and the inventor finds that a catalyst with higher activity and better selectivity can be prepared on the basis of the carrier prepared by adding a certain amount of perovskite minerals in the preparation process of the alumina carrier. The present invention has been made based on the above findings.
Therefore, the α -alumina carrier according to the first aspect of the present invention is prepared by adding a certain amount of a perovskite mineral during the preparation thereof, and has the following characteristics as a supported porous carrier: crush strength>25N, preferably 45-210N; the specific surface area is 0.4-4.5m2A/g, preferably from 1.0 to 2.5m2(ii)/g; the water absorption is not lower than 30 percent, and preferably not lower than 45 percent; the pore volume of the alpha-alumina carrier is 0.35-0.85mL/g, preferably 0.40-0.80 mL/g; in the carrier, the content of alpha-alumina is more than 90 wt%, preferably more than 95 wt% based on the total weight of the alpha-alumina carrier; the total weight of the assistants such as alkaline earth metal, silicon and the like is 0-5% of the total weight of the carrier; preferably, the total weight of the assistants such as alkaline earth metal, silicon and the like is 0.01-5% of the total weight of the carrier.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the perovskite-like mineral comprises a complex oxide perovskite compound and/or a perovskite-like compound.
In some preferred embodiments of the invention, the complex oxide perovskite compound includes, but is not limited to, lanthanum manganate (LaMnO)3) An oxide. Preferably, the perovskite compound of the composite oxide is lanthanum manganate (LaMnO)3) An oxide.
In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the perovskite-like compound comprises lanthanum nickelate (LaNiO)3) And/or lanthanum cobaltate (LaCoO)3)。
The preparation method of the alpha-alumina carrier related to the second aspect of the invention comprises the following steps:
step L, mixing alpha-alumina trihydrate, pseudo-alumina monohydrate, a perovskite mineral and optional additives to prepare a solid mixture;
step M, adding a binder and water into the solid mixture to obtain an alpha-alumina carrier precursor mixture;
and step N, kneading, molding, drying and roasting the alpha-alumina carrier precursor mixture to obtain the alpha-alumina carrier.
In the preparation method of the alpha-alumina carrier, the alpha-alumina trihydrate and the pseudo-alumina monohydrate are all converted into the alpha-alumina after being calcined as an aluminum source. For example, the solid mixture may have a trihydrate content of alpha-alumina in the range of 50 wt% to 90 wt%, based on the total weight of the solid mixture. As another example, the amount of pseudo-monohydrate alumina in the solid mixture is from 5 wt% to 50 wt%, based on the total weight of the solid mixture.
The inventor researches and discovers that perovskite and perovskite-like compounds have stable crystal structures and higher oxidation-reduction performance and enhance the interaction between double metals, so that the invention can effectively improve the crushing strength and water absorption of the carrier and increase the macroporous content of the carrier by adding a certain amount of calcium-titanium mineral substances in the preparation process of the alpha-alumina carrier, thereby finally improving the performance of the catalyst.
It should be noted that in the preparation method of the alpha-alumina carrier, the added calcium-titanium mineral is a bimetal composite oxide with a molecular formula ABO3Wherein A is a metal cation of larger radius (radius)>0.09nm), mainly alkali metals, alkaline earth metals or rare earth metals (La, Ca, Ce, etc.); b is a metal cation of smaller radius (radius)>0.05nm), mainly transition metal elements (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, titanium), Al and the like. For example, the perovskite-like mineral includes a complex oxide perovskite compound and/or a perovskite-like compound. The perovskite compound of the composite oxide is lanthanum manganate (LaMnO)3) An oxide; as another example, the perovskite-like compound is lanthanum nickelate (LaNiO)3) And/or lanthanum cobaltate (LaCoO)3). For the purposes of the present invention, the perovskite-type mineral is added in an amount of 0.02 to 5.0% by weight, preferably 0.05 to 4.0% by weight, and more preferably 1.20 to 2.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the solid mixture, i.e. based on the total weight of the solid mixture prepared in step L, based on the content of element a.
The inventors have found that in some embodiments of the invention, the addition of the perovskite lanthanum nickelate to the support increases the crush strength and water absorption of the support as compared to the addition of the oxides of nickel and lanthanum alone. The macropores in the support were increased (> 10 μm) by mercury intrusion tests.
The inventors have found that in other embodiments of the invention, the addition of the perovskite lanthanum cobaltate to the support increases the crush strength and increases the specific surface area of the support as compared to the addition of the oxides of cobalt and lanthanum alone.
In the preparation method of the alpha-alumina carrier, the addition of the auxiliary agent can improve the pore structure and the mechanical strength of the alumina carrier. The auxiliary agent is one or more of silicon, a silicon-containing compound and an alkaline earth metal compound.
In some embodiments, for example, the silicon-containing compound is silica and/or a silicate.
In other embodiments, for example, the alkaline earth metal compound includes one or more of oxides of magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium, sulfates, acetates, nitrates, and oxalates. Preferably the alkaline earth metal compound comprises one or more of strontium oxide, barium oxide, sulphate, acetate, nitrate and oxalate.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, in the above method for preparing an α -alumina support, the solid mixture may further include a thermally decomposable burnout material in addition to the above-mentioned components. The thermally decomposable burnout material comprises one or more of polyethylene, polypropylene, petroleum coke, carbon powder and graphite, and the mass of the thermally decomposable burnout material accounts for 0-20.0% of the total mass of the solid mixture.
The preparation method of the alpha-alumina carrier of the inventionThe binder is used for mixing pseudo-water A1 in solid powder2O3Generating aluminum sol, and bonding the components together to form paste which can be extruded and molded. The binder is added as an aqueous binder solution and the aqueous binder solution is added in an amount of 15 wt% to 60 wt%, preferably 15 wt% to 45 wt%, more preferably 15 wt% to 35 wt%, even more preferably 15 wt% to 25 wt%, based on the total weight of the solid mixture.
In some embodiments, for example, in the aqueous binder solution, the weight ratio of the binder to water is 1 (1.25-10), preferably the weight ratio of the binder to water is 1 (4-5).
In other embodiments, for example, the binder comprises one or more of nitric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, and hydrochloric acid, preferably the binder is nitric acid.
In the present invention, the addition of the solid mixture and the binder solution does not need to be performed sequentially, for example, the auxiliary agent in the solid mixture may be added to the solid mixture together with the binder solution at the end.
In order to mix the precursor mixture uniformly, the precursor mixture is kneaded in a kneader for 5-90 min. After the precursor mixture is sufficiently kneaded, the carrier may be formed into a certain shape, for example, a honeycomb cylindrical particle having seven, five or three holes with an outer diameter of 7 to 9mm and a honeycomb hole diameter of 1 to 3 mm; single-hole circular ring-shaped granules with the outer diameter of 7-9mm and the inner diameter of 3-6mm, and the like, and the molding is carried out in a molding machine.
Drying the formed product after the precursor mixture is formed, wherein the drying is carried out at the temperature of 80-130 ℃, the water content in the formed product is controlled to be below 10 percent, and the drying time is determined according to the water content; in some embodiments of the invention, the drying time may be, for example, 1-24 hours.
