Background
The xylene mainly comprises paraxylene, o-xylene and m-xylene, is an important chemical raw material, and has wide application. Among them, para-xylene (PX) is most widely used, mainly for Producing Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and dimethyl terephthalate (DMT). PTA and DMT can further react with dihydric alcohol and then are polycondensed to produce polyester products which are widely used in the fields of chemical fibers, synthetic resins, plastics and the like. The traditional production method of PX mainly uses toluene or mixed xylene as raw material, and adopts the processes of toluene disproportionation, xylene isomerization or toluene and C9Aromatic hydrocarbon transalkylation, etc. The traditional process has the defects of low raw material conversion rate, poor catalyst stability, large equipment, high operation cost and the like. Moreover, at present, xylene is mainly derived from petroleum (refinery catalytic reforming and aromatics complex), and the petroleum reserves are decreasing worldwide, so that it is economically and industrially very beneficial to find a new way to increase the yield of xylene.
The alkylation reaction of benzene and methanol is an effective way to increase the yield of xylene. Benzene can be obtained from petroleum and deep processing of coal, the petrochemical industry of China is still in a rapid development stage in the coming years, and the production capacity of pure benzene of China is continuously increased by combining the development of ethylene and aromatic hydrocarbon combination, refinery reforming and coking benzene processing projects. Therefore, the situation of excess capacity in the pure benzene market in China is expected to appear in the future. On the other hand, China vigorously develops coal chemical industry, the methanol production capacity is huge, and low-price methanol which takes natural gas as a raw material is imported abroad, so that the methanol market price is lower. Therefore, downstream products such as toluene, xylene and the like with high additional values are directly synthesized by utilizing benzene and methanol, and the method has good industrial development value.
The literature and patents on the research of benzene and methanol alkylation reaction catalysts are relatively rare at home and abroad. The patent CN102600887A adopts the technical scheme that HMCM-22 molecular sieve is used for loading alkaline earth and rare earth metal elements, and the HMCM-22 molecular sieve is used for the alkylation reaction of benzene and methanol, wherein the conversion rate of benzene is about 45%, the conversion rate of methanol is about 90%, and the selectivity of dimethylbenzene is about 60%. The patent CN102101818A takes HMCM-56 molecular sieve as a carrier and loads 3-15% of MoO3Or NiO is used for benzene and methanol alkylation reaction, the conversion per pass of benzene is more than 45 percent, and the selectivity of toluene and xylene is more than 89 percent. Patent CN102688771A uses HMCM-56 molecular sieve and gamma-Al2O3Is a composite carrier, loads oxides of molybdenum, nickel, magnesium, lanthanum, boron and the like, is used for the alkylation reaction of benzene and methanol, the conversion rate of benzene reaches 50 percent, and the selectivity of toluene and xylene reaches more than 90 percent, but the patent does not have the stability of a catalystReports on the aspects. The three patents use HMCM-22 and HMCM-56 molecular sieves, although the benzene conversion rate is improved, the selectivity of toluene and xylene is still low, and the stability of the catalyst is poor. Patents CN104109065A, CN102746080A, CN101624327A, etc. of shanxi hengyang scientific and chemical company, and ningxia pagoda petrochemical company, mainly describe the separation process and process optimization of benzene and methanol alkylation products, toluene, xylene, trimethylbenzene and benzene, and do not relate to catalyst research.
The catalyst for benzene and methanol alkylation reaction uses HZSM-5 molecular sieve as active main body, and after alkali treatment and acid treatment, it has high activity, high selectivity and good stability, and has good industrial development value.
