Description

With the aluminium oxide is the ruthenium catalyst of carrier
Background of invention
Invention field
The present invention relates to be carried on the ruthenium catalyst on the aluminium oxide.More specifically, the present invention relates to be carried on the ruthenium of ruthenium catalyst on the aluminium oxide-wherein or similar components by the Alpha-alumina porous material carry-these catalyst are advantageously used in the various hydrogen production methods, be particularly useful for utilizing vapour reforming production to be used to produce synthetic gas, be suitable for the reducing gas that direct reduction iron making is used, the light hydrocarbons of town gas and hydrogen etc. and oxygenatedchemicals.The ruthenium catalyst that is carried on the aluminium oxide of the present invention also is advantageously used in the reformer (being used to produce hydrogen) that is included in the fuel cell.
Technical background
At the conventional vapour reforming of the light hydrocarbons that utilizes catalyst or similarly in the method, used usually by the catalyst carrier transition metal that for example gama-alumina the carried catalyst made of nickel for example.
In this vapour reforming, in order to save engineering cost and cost of use, heat flux tries hard to make its rising, and the ratio (S/C) of steam/carbon tries hard to make its decline.Under such operating condition, carbon is deposited on the catalyst easily, thereby causes pressure reduction to increase on pipeline.Therefore, the blocking pipe of catalyst meeting sometimes makes and continues reaction generation difficulty.So, suddenly needing a kind of catalyst, its quantity that goes up the carbon of generation is compared with the quantity that catalyst reached of routine and has been subjected to great inhibition when using this catalyst, demonstrates high catalytic activity simultaneously.
The ruthenium that contains that is carried on the aluminium oxide has become as the ruthenium catalyst of catalyst component and makes the people interested, and this is because it can suppress the activity that carbon deposition and having has thereon increased.Since be carried on the shown good catalytic performance of ruthenium catalyst on the aluminium oxide for its in use even the high activity under the ratio condition of low steam/carbon and suppress the ability that carbon deposits and confirmed, Japanese patent application publication No. 5-220397 discloses and has wherein also included the ruthenium catalyst that is loaded on the aluminium oxide, is wherein carried by the aluminium oxide that contains alkali earth metal aluminate in the zirconia and the ruthenium component of precursor zirconia sol.
, the ruthenium catalyst that is carried on the aluminium oxide that is disclosed in the above-mentioned reference has following problem, and promptly under low steam/carbon ratio (S/C) 2 or the littler the condition of reorganization and under less than 680 ℃ hot conditions, its activity is not enough.Also have,, make the catalyst that contains ruthenium become useful, except requiring to guarantee to have the gratifying catalytic performance, also require to suppress the content of ruthenium, so that reduce the cost of catalyst industrial because ruthenium belongs to the high noble metal of valency.In addition, in view of steam reforming reaction all at high temperature carries out, so seek to develop not only have high active but also be the catalyst of heat resistanceheat resistant.
From preventing to be caused by air pollution the viewpoint of environmental disruption, it is interesting that hydrogen fuel has become, this be because its can gasoline replacing etc. as alternative energy resources.For example, by fuel battery energy hydrogen fuel is reformatted into electric energy.Usually, the hydrogen as parent material is produced by hydro carbons or oxygenatedchemicals by vapour reforming.Especially, oxygenatedchemicals for example methyl alcohol and methyl ether has begun to be required fuel as transportation power source (electric motor car) recently, replaces being used for habitually the hydro carbons such as town gas and liquid propane gas of fuel cell.As the catalyst of using for reforming oxygenated compounds, used by the catalyst carrier ruthenium of supported on alumina (or being impregnated into) for example, nickel, or metalloid.
Typical fuel cell comprises a reactor that is used to reform usually.In recent years, the reforming reaction still that is many concentric hollow cylinder shapes is popularized, many catalyst layers have wherein been disposed to form cylindrical shell, so that make the overall fuel cell miniaturization and improve its performance (Japanese patent application publication No. 3-122001 and 60-264303).
In the reforming reaction still of the above-mentioned type, place a burner in the housing central authorities of innermost layer, and many layer catalyst layers round this burner arrangement, make the area of heating surface reach maximum and the size that reduces reactor whereby.So, beginning the operation moment and the shut-down operation moment at reactor, the temperature of the inboard of catalyst layer has different greatly with the temperature in this catalyst layer outside.This temperature difference causes on the circumferencial direction of each housing producing strain owing to thermal expansion is different, then a kind of compression force is arranged on catalyst layer, under pressure, this compression stress catalyst of may crushing.After this catalyst was crushed, powder just produced, and blocking catalyst layer and downstream line, thereby may operation be ended because of flow resistance raises.
As a kind of measure that prevents that catalyst is broken under pressure, " fuel associating magazine " the 68th volume the 3rd phase (1989) P.236~243 on a kind of ruthenium catalyst that is carried on the aluminium oxide is disclosed, ruthenium wherein is as catalyst, and Alpha-alumina is as catalyst carrier.
But, because the ruthenium catalyst that is carried on the aluminium oxide that is disclosed on the above-mentioned magazine has used the Alpha-alumina of using the method preparation of roasting gama-alumina down at 1300 ℃, this molded Alpha-alumina is used in many housings type reforming reaction still, its crushing strength that has is not enough, because the demanding crushing strength of aforesaid reaction vessel.In addition, because ruthenium is carried by the Alpha-alumina that obtains by the roasting gama-alumina, so the catalyst that generates has little of 6.6m 2The specific area of/g, so, even with highly active ruthenium when the active component, ruthenium can not be dispersed on the carrier fully and carrier in, therefore, only can obtain active not enough catalyst.In addition, usually after sufficiently high roasting temperature is prepared Alpha-alumina with the method that increases crushing strength, the Alpha-alumina that generates is a very fine and close structure, normally inappropriate as catalyst carrier, because it does not have the micropore of sub-micron or smaller szie, in addition, even after it is moulded to catalyst carrier, it also only has little specific area.In other words, when the catalyst carrier of being made by alpha-aluminium oxide is used activity component impregnation, active component is dispersed on this carrier satisfactorily and carrier in necessary specific area be not enough, therefore, even increase the quantity of catalytic component, can not obtain enough activity.
As the above, Japanese patent publication 5-220397 similarly discloses a kind of ruthenium catalyst that is carried on the aluminium oxide, and the zirconia and the ruthenium component that wherein derive from the precursor zirconium dioxide are carried by the aluminium oxide that comprises alkali earth metal aluminate.
But, consider that zirconia sol used in above-mentioned publication is to occur with 100 or bigger particle form, so be considered to grow up to particle for big from the zirconia that wherein obtains.In addition,, alkali earth metal aluminate occurs, so its particle also is considered to grow up to and is bulky grain because being grains.So estimating that this catalyst has has reduced specific area and the not enough shortcoming of catalytic activity.

II. metal component (by the component of alpha-alumina supports carrying)
In the present invention, the ruthenium component-it has confirmed to demonstrate at least high activity-be introduced in the above-mentioned alpha-alumina supports in reforming reaction.Consider and strengthen catalytic activity and guarantee long service life, the industrial multicomponent system catalyst that preferably also contains other component described below.Introduce consumption-ruthenium that above-mentioned " other component " can also reduce ruthenium because of be noble metal expensive-so as to reducing the unit cost of making catalyst. (1) two-component system (ruthenium and zirconium)
In preference pattern of the present invention, provide a kind of catalyst that contains ruthenium component and zirconium component as two kinds of major metal components.
When these two kinds of metal components were introduced into alumina support, zirconia was to occur with very thin particle form, so the catalyst of generation has has expanded surface area significantly.Therefore, this catalyst demonstrates high activity and good hear resistance.
Can suitably select the consumption of corresponding metal component according to related factors and condition, related factors and condition comprise the characteristic (for example kind, surface area etc.) or the Application of Catalyst (i.e. the type of the reaction of Guan Xining and character) of carrier.For example, the amount of used ruthenium component among the present invention for the weight of carrier, is generally 0.05~5wt%, preferred 0.05~2wt%, more preferably 0.1~2wt% (calculating according to metal Ru).The consumption of zirconium component is determined according to vehicle weight, is generally 0.05~20wt%, preferred 0.1~15wt%, and more preferably 1.0~15wt% (calculating according to zirconia). (2) three-component system (ruthenium, zirconium and alkaline-earth metal or rare earth metal)
In the present invention, except ruthenium component and zirconium component, one or more kind components that are selected from alkaline earth metal component and rare earth metal component can also be incorporated in the carrier.Some examples of alkaline earth metal component and rare earth metal component comprise beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb) and/lutetium (Lu).In above these elements, in view of magnesium has remarkable effect to the hear resistance that improves the zirconium component, so preferably magnesium.The total amount of these components is generally 0.5~20wt%, preferred 0.5~15wt%, and more preferably 1~10wt%, these all are to calculate according to the corresponding oxide of alkaline earth metal component or rare earth metal component.
Get magnesium component among alkaline earth metal component and the rare earth metal component as typical example, will below the catalyst of having introduced the magnesium component be described.
In this case, ruthenium, zirconium and magnesium are introduced as three kinds of key components.
Have these three kinds of metal components to be introduced in the catalyst of alumina support therein, zirconium and magnesium are to occur with the form of very thin zirconia crystal grain and magnesia crystal grain respectively.These two kinds of matter interactions have suppressed the formation and the grain growth of crystal.Therefore, the surface area of this catalyst has remarkable increase, forms high catalytic activity and good hear resistance whereby.
Consider above-mentioned condition, the amount of the metal component that the present invention is used can suitably be selected.For example, for vehicle weight, the consumption of ruthenium component is generally 0.05~5wt%, preferred 0.05~2wt%, and more preferably 0.1~2wt% calculates according to metal Ru.The consumption of zirconium component is generally 0.05~20wt%, preferred 0.1~15wt%, and more preferably 1.0~15wt% calculates according to zirconia.The consumption of magnesium component is generally 0.5~20wt%, and preferred 0.5~15wt% calculates according to magnesia.When the consumption of magnesium component during less than 0.5wt%, this catalytic activity may be low.
Be included in the magnesium component in the catalyst and the mol ratio of zirconium component, Mg/Zr is generally 0.1~10, and is preferred 0.5~5, and more preferably 1~2, and ratio Mg/Zr wherein is equivalent to the mol ratio of magnesium atom (Mg) and zirconium atom (Zr).When mol ratio Mg/Zr less than 0.1 the time, the inhibitory action that the component of introducing reduces surface area is performance and increase stable on heating effect and may become not enough fully not.On the other hand, even when mol ratio surpasses 10, stable on heating improvement neither be suitable.
In the present invention, in order further to improve activity of such catalysts,, preferably introduce the zirconium component as following described. (3) four component system (ruthenium, zirconium, alkaline-earth metal or rare earth metal, and cobalt)
In the present invention, the cobalt component is an optional components, and its consumption is such, and the mol ratio (Co/Ru) of cobalt (Co) and ruthenium (Ru) is generally 0.01~30, and is preferred 0.1~30, more preferably 0.1~10.When mol ratio less than 0.01 the time, cobalt content reduces, therefore, improving active predictive role can not reach.On the other hand, when mol ratio surpassed 30, relative ruthenium content reduced.In this case, the ruthenium steam reformation type catalyst that contains that is applicable to hydro carbons is difficult to keep its high activity.In addition, even under the operating condition of low steam/carbon ratio, stop the effect of carbon deposition to be obstructed. III. the specific area of catalyst
In the present invention, can access the catalyst that specific area has remarkable increase by method with specific metal component dipping porous Alpha-alumina material.This is because these corresponding metal components are to occur with very thin crystal grain form, but they can not block the micropore of porous Alpha-alumina material again.
In addition, catalyst of the present invention not only demonstrates high catalytic activity, and demonstrates high mechanical strength and hear resistance, and these all are features of Alpha-alumina.
The specific area of catalyst of the present invention is generally 7~50m 2/ g, preferred 8~20m 2/ g, more preferably 8~15m 2/ g.Specific area is less than 7m 2/ g will never provide gratifying catalytic activity, because these metal components must not be dispersed on the carrier widely or in the carrier.On the other hand, specific area surpasses 50m 2/ g represents that pore size is too little, is diffused in the micropore so can hinder original material.In this case, increasing specific area may be inoperative.
Specific area (the S of catalyst of the present invention 1) with ratio S as the specific area of the porous Alpha-alumina material of carrier 1/ S 2Preferred 3 or bigger, more preferably 5~50, especially preferred 10~30.When this ratio less than 3 the time, can not obtain to be enough to demonstrate the catalyst of the required specific area that possesses of gratifying catalytic activity. IV. the peak value that distributes of catalyst micropore
Catalyst of the present invention has micropore.It is such that the micropore of this catalyst distributes, and has at least a peak value to drop in 5~1000 , preferred 10~100 .These micropores are to be formed by the component that is carried on the Woelm Alumina material.The distribution of micropore is to utilize this amount to estimate according to nitrogen in the adsorbance that the absorption-desorption properties under the different pressures calculates nitrogen.On the micro-pore diameter distribution map, in scope, there is not peak value less than 1000 , show not form satisfied micropore: specific area is not enough, and therefore, active component does not distribute on carrier fully, causes reactivity to descend., when when the scope less than 5 has peak value, these micropores are excessively little again and can hinder reactive material enters into micropore, causes playing the effect that improves activity. V. the metal group public affairs are incorporated in the porous Alpha-alumina material 1. the method for Yin Ruing
In the present invention, do not do special restriction for the method that metal component is incorporated in the porous Alpha-alumina material.For example, above-mentioned porous Alpha-alumina material can flood with the solution that contains following component, this solution contains at least a or more kinds of ruthenium compounds, with optional one or more kind zirconium compounds that contain, the compound that one or more kinds are selected from alkaline earth metal compound and rare earth compound (for example, one or more plant magnesium compound), also can further choose any one kind of them or more kinds of cobalt compound.In such method, ruthenium component and some optional components, for example zirconium component, alkaline earth metal component, rare earth metal component and cobalt component, they are coated on the surface of porous Alpha-alumina material equably, or are introduced in the micropore of porous Alpha-alumina material, and evenly distribute.In addition, even after the preliminary treatment of having carried out such as roasting at high temperature and this quasi-representative of reduction, ruthenium component and zirconia component still can keep homogeneously dispersed state, thereby are easy to form high performance ruthenium-containing catalyst. (1) solution
For containing the solution of metal compound of using in the above-mentioned introducing method, by adding acids additives etc., its pH preferably is adjusted to 3 or littler, more preferably 1.5 or littler.If the pH of this solution surpasses 3, deposition or cohesion formation gel can take place in one or more contained kind compounds in the solution, and therefore, this (a bit) metal component will never be homogeneously dispersed state and remain on the carrier.On the contrary, when pH is 3 or more hour, can infer that this ruthenium compound and zirconium compounds etc. react, and have formed complexing shape compound, when being shaped, it also is introduced into, and forms the catalyst that catalytic activity has further improvement with activation.
In addition, except that containing ruthenium component and zirconium component, the catalyst that also contains the additive that is alkaline-earth metal or rare earth metal component form has the highly stable specific area of heat, this heat endurance after fuse the reaction or at high temperature still can keep in the course of reaction.Therefore, this catalyst demonstrates long-term hear resistance. (2) solvent
The solvent used to above-mentioned solution has no particular limits, and can use to dissolve at least a ruthenium compound and optional compound i.e. zirconium compounds, any solution of alkaline earth metal component or rare earth metal component and cobalt compound.Some examples of this solvent comprise water, water-based solvent, and organic solvent, for example pure and mild ether.Preferred water or water-based solvent among them are because above-claimed cpd has high solubility therein. (3) raw material of metal component
