Description

Be used to produce silver catalyst, its preparation method and the application thereof of oxirane
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of silver catalyst and preparation method thereof, more particularly the present invention relates to a kind of silver catalyst of producing by the ethene oxidation in oxirane and preparation method thereof that is used for, also relate to this catalyst and produce purposes in the oxirane in the ethene oxidation.
Background technology
The ethene oxidation mainly generates oxirane under the silver catalyst effect, side reaction takes place simultaneously generate carbon dioxide and water, and wherein activity, selectivity and stability are the main performance index of silver catalyst.So-called activity is meant reaction temperature required when process for ethylene oxide production reaches certain reaction load.Reaction temperature is low more, and activity of such catalysts is high more.So-called selectivity is meant that conversion of ethylene in the reaction becomes the ratio of the overall reaction molal quantity of the molal quantity of oxirane and ethene.So-called stability then is expressed as active and fall off rate optionally, and the fall off rate stability of small catalyst more is good more.The silver catalyst that uses high activity, high selectivity and have good stability in the process of ethene oxidation production oxirane can be increased economic efficiency greatly, and the silver catalyst of therefore making high activity, high selectivity and good stability is the main direction of silver catalyst research.The performance of silver catalyst has the important relationship except that composition and the preparation method with catalyst, and also the performance and the preparation method of the carrier that uses with catalyst have important relationship.
In the prior art preparation method of silver catalyst comprise the preparation and administration to active component of porous carrier (as aluminium oxide) and auxiliary agent to as described in this two processes on the carrier.
Know,, must provide high silver granuel specific surface for improving catalyst activity.Thereby require carrier that enough big specific surface is arranged.But specific surface is crossed conference and is caused withdrawing from the reaction heat difficulty, and the aggravation side reaction descends selectivity.For improving catalyst selectivity, the desirable pore structure that adapts with the surface just must be arranged, cause the good heat transfer mass transfer condition, reduce the generation of side reaction.Because reaction is to carry out, therefore seek pore structure has become development high selectivity silver catalyst with the carrier of specific surface collocation the best key subjects under near the condition of DIFFUSION CONTROLLED.
Japanese patent application JP4363139, European patent application EP 0255975 and EP0299569 use SnSO 4Improve alumina support Deng as additive, described selection of catalysts of these patents and activity are still on the low side, are about 80% as selectivity among the JP4363139, and reaction temperature is 228-233 ℃; The selectivity of EP0255975 is about 79.6-82.5%, and reaction temperature is 230 ℃; The selectivity of EP0299569 is less than 82%, and reaction temperature is up to 242 ℃.So, use the cost of these Catalyst Production oxirane still higher.In addition, the experimental result of JP4363139 shows: compare with not additivated catalyst, the adding of Sn salt has only improved 0.8% with selection of catalysts, but has but significantly reduced the activity of silver catalyst, makes reaction temperature improve 7 ℃.
Therefore, in the preparation process of silver catalyst, for α-Al 2O 3Carrier for key component, suitable specific surface and pore structure need, and will reaction heat be spread out for epoxidation of ethylene provides enough spaces on the one hand, also help the timely desorption of product oxirane on the other hand, avoid deep oxidation to generate the accessory substance carbon dioxide.It is 0.2-2m that the gibbsite that China authorization patent CN1009437B (China Petrochemical Corporation etc., 1988) has disclosed the ratio appropriate mix is mixed with out specific surface 2The alumina support of/g, the about 0.5mg/g of pore volume, wherein the hole greater than 30 μ m accounts for more than 25%, is used for the selectivity that epoxidation of ethylene can reach 83-84%.
In addition, the method that active component silver and various auxiliary agents are applied on the carrier mainly is an infusion process, promptly alumina support is dipped in the solution that silver salt, organic amine and various auxiliary agent make, and removes to add thermal reduction behind the solution and make the soaked carrier activation.Alkali metal is the most frequently used auxiliary agent, uses the patent of base earth metal promoter few.JP55049147 (Mitsui Toatsu Chem.Inc., 1980) makes its regeneration with the fatty alcohol solution dipping dead catalyst of caesium and calcium; Silver catalyst baric 0.01-0.25% and alkali metal promoter that US4305844 (corresponding to EP0017725, Huels Chemische Werke AG, 1981) makes, initial activity and selectivity are all very low; US4350616 (The Dow Chemical Company, 1982) has also used caesium and barium in the silver catalyst manufacture process, but the activity of the silver catalyst of making and selectivity are all very low, and selectivity is up to 84.0%; The epimere that US4376718 (Huels Chemische Werke AG, 1983) has described at reactor has added the auxiliary agent bed, and auxiliary agent is selected from the compound of potassium, rubidium, caesium, barium, has improved the stability of beds; The carrier specific surface that the silver catalyst preparation method that US4400308 (EC ErdoelchemieGmbh, 1983) discloses is used is 0.4-0.5m 2/ g, the particle diameter of load silver are 0.3-0.4 μ m, use the alkali metal caesium of 0.001-0.03% and the alkaline-earth metal barium of 0.05-0.5%, and the silver catalyst selectivity of making is the highest only to reach 81.5%; SU1685510 (Chlorine Ind.Res.Des.Int., 1991) uses specific surface less than 1m 2The alumina support of/g, amido complex compound, alkali metal salt, alkaline earth metal compound with silver salt are handled carrier, handle with alkali metal salt and surfactant again after the drying, the alkali salt that patent is used is calcium nitrate and barium nitrate, add the DeGrain that alkaline-earth metal is obtained, space-time yield during less than 180gEO/1/h selectivity be up to 78.2%; DD289413A and DD288067 (Veb Leuna-Werke AG, 1991) have disclosed with organic acid silver, excessive lactic acid, alkaline-earth metal and alkali-metal acid solution and have been coated onto specific surface less than 0.3m 2The method for preparing silver catalyst on the/g carrier, the alkaline-earth metal that uses is barium, and catalyst selectivity is made moderate progress, but high selectivity only is 77%; US4812437 (corresponding to EP0247414, MitsubishiPetrochemical Co., 1989) is with silver and be selected from least a of sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, is deposited on to contain Al 6Si 2O 13Carrier on, sodium content has also used barium salt up to 0.08-1.2% on the carrier in catalyst preparation process, the selectivity of the silver catalyst of making is up to 81.2%; The first depositing silver of DE3310752 (corresponding to US4760042) and US4841080 (ScientificDesign Co., 1988,1989) is at specific surface 0.3-0.8m 2On the carrier of/g, deposit alkali metal 50-300ppm after the activation again, patent claims that catalyst also comprises base earth metal promoter, preferred barium, and the selectivity of the silver catalyst that this patent is made only reaches 79.7%; WO9613493 is (corresponding to EP789693, Shell Int.Research, 1996) when preparation rhenium-containing silver catalyst, deposit alkaline-earth metal earlier before depositing silver, alkali metal promoter, rhenium auxiliary agent and the assistance agent thereof, preferred barium and/or magnesium, the initial activity that only deposits the catalyst that alkaline-earth metal and silver and alkali metal promoter make in the patent is higher, but selectivity only reaches 81.5%, and this patent is improved the initial activity of rhenium-containing silver catalyst by the pre-deposition alkaline-earth metal.
Although above-mentioned patent documentation has improved alumina support itself respectively and has used base earth metal promoter, especially barium, but the effect that obtains is still not obvious, so this area still needs a kind of silver catalyst that comprehensively is improved and preparation method thereof on activity, selectivity and stability.
