Background
In recent years, with the increasing exhaustion of petrochemical energy and the increasing demand of natural gas, the problems of ecology, environment and the like caused by the combustion of the petrochemical energy are increasingly serious, and people tend to use clean and efficient natural gas more and more. The energy structure of China is characterized by rich coal, poor oil and little gas, the rich coal resource of China is utilized, the Substitute Natural Gas (SNG) is prepared by adopting the coal-to-natural gas technology, the structure of a coal deep-processing product can be optimized, the method is environment-friendly, and the method is favorable for relieving the problem of shortage of natural gas supply in China.
The key technology of the coal-to-natural gas technology is the design of a methanation reactor and the development of a methanation catalyst. In the existing industrial methanation catalyst, the effect is better that of a load type Ni-based catalyst, but the Ni-based catalyst is very sensitive to sulfur species and is very easy to generate sulfur poisoning, so that the catalyst is inactivated. Therefore, when a Ni-based catalyst is used, it is necessary to remove H from the raw material gas2S and other sulfur-containing substances, the content of which is lower than 1ppm, which undoubtedly increases the equipment investment of coal-based natural gas. Therefore, the development of the sulfur-tolerant methanation catalyst is particularly important for the maturity and development of the coal-to-natural gas process technology.
At present, most of sulfur-resistant methanation catalysts are supported catalysts, Mo, W, Ni, Co and the like are used as active components, and Al2O is selected3、CeO2、ZrO2、SiO2And TiO2The like is used as a carrier, K, La, Cr, Fe and the like are used as auxiliary agents, but the methanation catalytic activity of the K, La, Cr and Fe is generally not high, the CO conversion rate is generally 50-90%, and CH is4The selectivity is only 60% -70%, and most catalysts are not subjected to a catalyst life test or have short lives, and most catalysts are not high-temperature-resistant and easy to sinter and deactivate, so that the development of a sulfur-resistant methanation process is greatly limited.
The mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 has the characteristics of hexagonal ordered arrangement of pore channels, uniform size, continuously adjustable pore diameter within the range of 2-10nm, large specific surface area and the like, and synthesizes a frameworkMCM-41 with heteroatoms incorporated in the structure, non-tetracoordinated ions in the framework such as: al (Al)3+、Cu2+、Fe3+、Zn2+Etc., can be counterbalanced by protons or other transition metal ions to form catalytically active centers. Ni-MCM-41 catalyst prepared by in-situ synthesis method in CO2Reforming CH4The reaction shows good thermal stability. The Chinese patent application No. 201410148170.4 discloses an embedded sulfur-tolerant methanation catalyst and a preparation method thereof, wherein mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 is used as a carrier, metal Ni, Mo and W are used as main active components to be synthesized into an MCM-41 framework structure and used for methanation reaction, and compared with a supported catalyst, the catalyst shows good high temperature resistance, but the catalytic activity, especially the low-temperature catalytic activity, is still to be improved, and the hydrothermal stability is not high.
ZSM-5 zeolite having ten-membered rings and a basic structural unit consisting of eight pentatomic rings has a very stable crystal structure, and ZSM-5 has been one of the highest thermal properties of the known zeolites so far, so that it is particularly suitable for use in high-temperature processes. ZSM-5 has high silicon-aluminum ratio, small surface charge density, good hydrophobicity, difficult carbon deposition and good hydrothermal stability, and is widely used as a catalyst of FCC. Meanwhile, ZSM-5 has strong acidity and adjustable acidity, and is widely applied to the field of acid catalysis; in addition, ZSM-5 has a unique pore structure, so that the catalyst becomes a good shape-selective catalyst. The novel catalytic material microporous-mesoporous ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite molecular sieve has the advantages of both ZSM-5 and MCM-41. Based on the above, the preparation and the application of the embedded microporous-mesoporous composite molecular sieve sulfur-tolerant methanation catalyst are especially necessary.
