Description

Alpha-alumina carrier of silver catalyst for ethylene epoxidation and preparation and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst carriers and catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to an alpha-alumina carrier of a silver catalyst for ethylene epoxidation, and preparation and application thereof.
Background
Ethylene epoxidation under the action of a silver catalyst produces mainly Ethylene Oxide (EO) and simultaneously produces carbon dioxide and water as side reactions, wherein activity, selectivity and stability are the main performance indexes of the silver catalyst. The activity refers to the reaction temperature required when the ethylene oxide production process reaches a certain reaction load, and the lower the reaction temperature is, the higher the activity of the catalyst is; selectivity refers to the ratio of moles of ethylene converted to ethylene oxide in the reaction to the total reacted moles of ethylene; stability is expressed as the rate of decline of activity and selectivity, with the lower the rate of decline the better the stability of the catalyst.
Currently, there are three types of silver catalysts: the catalyst has high activity, good stability, initial selectivity of 80-82% and service life of 2-5 years, and is suitable for all ethylene oxide/ethylene glycol (EO/EG) production devices; the second is high-selectivity silver catalyst, the initial selectivity of the catalyst reaches over 88 percent, but the catalyst requires CO in reaction gas at the inlet of the reactor 2 The concentration is below 1.0 percent, and the method is suitable for a newly-built EO/EG production device with relatively low space-time yield; thirdly, the silver catalyst with medium selectivity (the silver catalyst with activity and selectivity between the former two) can reach the selectivity of 83-85 percent, and the CO in the reaction gas at the inlet of the reactor is required to be added 2 The concentration is below 3%. The selectivity of different catalysts can be determined according to CO in the reaction gas 2 The concentration and the EO concentration at the outlet are correspondingly adjusted, and in recent years, the silver catalyst with high selectivity and the silver catalyst with medium selectivity are widely applied to industrial production and replace the original silver catalyst with high activity.
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 by the catalyst and the preparation method. For the reaction with alpha-Al 2 O 3 As for the carrier as the main component, the physical properties of the carrier include compressive strength, porosity, specific surface area, pore distribution and the like, and a good catalyst carrier has excellent compressive strength, porosity and specific surface area. The higher porosity can reduce the diffusion resistance of reactant and product gases under reaction conditions; the specific surface area of the carrier is required to have the minimum value so as to ensure the catalytic component to be capable ofCan be impregnated on the carrier; the compressive strength is a parameter that measures the physical integrity of the support and is necessary to ensure a long service life for the catalyst to withstand the operating conditions. The carrier has better specific surface area and porosity, and the compressive strength can be reduced; conversely, high compressive strength reduces the specific surface area and porosity. The balance between different physical properties is very important for the carrier.
US5384302 uses two different particle sizes of alpha-Al 2 O 3 And trihydrate and monohydrate alumina are used as raw materials, a titanium-containing auxiliary agent, a pore-forming agent, a ceramic binder and the like are added to prepare a carrier, and the carrier has better compressive strength and porosity after being calcined at 1500 ℃, so that the catalyst prepared from the carrier has better performance.
US7060651 describes a high-silicon carrier containing more than 70% of silicon oxide and having a specific surface area of 0.5-30m 2 The catalyst is prepared by using at least one of metal components of platinum, palladium, silver, molybdenum, titanium, zirconium, copper and the like or oxide thereof as an active component, wherein the content of the active component is not more than 2 percent of the metal content, and the active component is immersed and loaded on a carrier at 40-200 ℃ in a solution form and then is subjected to heat treatment to obtain the catalyst which can be used for ethylene or propylene epoxidation reaction.
Chinese patent CN1217233A describes that the carrier is prepared by calcining three-water alpha-alumina with different particle sizes, pseudo-one-water alumina with a certain proportion, pore-forming agent, fluxing agent, mineralizer, auxiliary agent and the like at the temperature of 1300 ℃ and 1500 ℃, and the catalyst prepared by the carrier has higher selectivity.
Chinese patent CN1634652A describes that no pore-forming agent is added in the preparation process of the carrier, and the carrier is prepared by directly roasting 50-500 mesh alpha-alumina trihydrate, a certain proportion of pseudo-monohydrate alumina, a fluxing agent, a mineralizing agent, an auxiliary agent and the like at the temperature of 1250-.
Chinese patent CN103372466A is prepared by mixing alpha-alumina trihydrate, pseudo-monohydrate alumina, mineralizer, alkaline earth metal compound assistant, and burnable lubricant at different proportions, kneading, extruding, and calcining at high temperature to obtain carrier, wherein the mineralizer can reduce the crystal transition temperature of alumina, the alumina wafers are distributed in a sheet-like cross manner, and the carrier has high strength.
US8791280 describes a method for preparing a low surface area alpha-phase alumina carrier, wherein the content of alpha-phase alumina is more than 90 wt%, the content of silicon is less than 6 wt%, the alpha-phase alumina and/or transition phase alumina, a binder, a solid pore-forming agent and a water-soluble titanium compound are dry-mixed, added with water for extrusion molding, dried and roasted at 1150-1600 ℃ to prepare the carrier, and the pore volume of the carrier is 0.2-0.8ml/g, preferably 0.25-0.6 ml/g; the specific surface area is 0.4-4.0m 2 A/g, more suitably from 0.6 to 1.5 ml/g; the crush strength is greater than 8 pounds, more preferably greater than 10 pounds.
In view of the importance of the balance between the physical properties of the catalyst carrier to the carrier, research and development of an α -alumina carrier for a silver catalyst for ethylene epoxidation with good compressive strength, porosity and specific surface area are urgently needed.
