The present invention is a kind of catalyst for isomerizing light hydrocarbon and preparation method thereof, specifically, is a kind of VIII of being loaded with family metal, is applicable to C
5/ C
6The Catalysts and its preparation method of alkane isomerization.
As everyone knows, the effective ways that improve gasoline octane rating are to add tetraethyllead in gasoline, but because lead has very big hazardness to environment, especially in today of pay attention to day by day environment-friendly quality, plumbous quantity discharged has been subjected to strict restriction.Low lead or white gasoline just progressively replace doped fuel.Because isoparaffin has higher octane value, therefore with small molecular weight (C
5, C
6) normal paraffin change into the octane value that isoparaffin improves the light oil fraction, thereby the octane value that improves gasoline has crucial meaning.
One of isomerization method for light hydrocarbon commonly used is to carry out hydroisomerization reaction more than 250 ℃ with the zeolite type dual-function catalyst.The difunctional isomerization catalyst of described zeolite type mainly is meant with the crystalline silicate to be carrier, and aluminum oxide or other refractory oxide are binding agent, and supported V III family metal mainly is the catalyzer of platinum or palladium preparation.The carrier of this class catalyzer has acid function, can impel normal alkane isomerization, and used carrier mainly contains X type zeolite, y-type zeolite and mordenite at present.Because mordenite has good high-temperature stability, therefore be that the isomerization catalyst of preparing carriers is developed rapidly with the mordenite.As USP4,232,181, GB1039246, GB1189850, USP4,665,272 patent documentations such as grade are all described this kind Preparation of catalysts method in detail.But because the application of temperature of zeolite type dual-function catalyst is higher, and the equilibrium concentration of isomerized products is lower under the high temperature, particularly to normal hexane, higher temperature of reaction will influence in the isomerized products 2, and the 2-dimethylbutane (2, concentration 2-DMB), and 2,2-DMB has very high octane value, if its concentration reduces, will directly influence the octane value of isomerized products.Therefore, further improve the acidity of mordenite, the isomery selectivity that improves it seems very necessary.USP3,527,835 adopt the ammonium ion used when increasing the preparation h-mordenite and the ratio of zeolite metallic cation, promptly when ion-exchange, make the ratio of ammonium ion and zeolite metallic cation reach 100: 1 above methods and prepare acid strong h-mordenite, improve the performance of isomerization catalyst.CN87103444A then by increasing the surface-area of catalyzer, makes it reach 580 meters
2The above method of/gram is improved the performance of catalyzer.
The simple acidity of improving mordenite often can't make the isomery selectivity of catalyzer be greatly improved, and therefore, people are by introducing the acidity that chlorine or fluorine improve catalyzer in carrier.As USP4,789,655 introduce chlorine by the gas phase oxi-chlorination in the mordenite catalyst that carries platinum, described oxi-chlorination is to feed to contain oxygen, water, chlorine and/or muriatic gaseous mixture under 200~500 ℃ in catalyzer, and each component with respect to the ratio of mordenite is in the gaseous mixture: water 0.03~4 heavy %, chlorine and/or muriate (in chlorine) 0.5~10 heavy %.USP3,932,554 adopt fluorine-containing halon such as CF
4, CCl
3F, CHCl
2F etc. contact with the mordenite catalyst that carries platinum or palladium, make the modified catalyst that fluorine content is at least 0.86 heavy %.Though the catalyzer of above-mentioned chlorine or fluorine modification has good isomerization performance, in the catalyzer use, chlorine or fluorine can run off gradually along with the carrying out of reaction, cause catalyst activity reduction, corrosion of equipment.
In recent years, the Beta zeolite is owing to the characteristic Application Areas that itself has constantly enlarges.The existing report that the Beta zeolite is used for light hydrocarbon isomerization in the patent documentation, as USP5,095,169 to disclose a kind of be the isomerization catalyst of preparing carriers with activatory Beta zeolite, and this patent mainly is to improve the activation method of Beta zeolite, this method with the Beta zeolite at 600~700 ℃, being preferably in 650 ℃ handles, remove the strong acid in the Beta zeolite, keep weak acid, obtain activatory Beta zeolite.This activatory Beta zeolite is made the h-type zeolite carrier through ammonium exchange, increase with the selectivity of the isomerization catalyst of this preparing carriers.
