Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of catalysts, and particularly relates to a silver catalyst and an activation method and application thereof.
Background
The silver catalyst is the only effective industrial catalyst in the preparation of ethylene oxide by ethylene oxidation. The impregnation activation unit is a core link of the preparation of the silver catalyst and is one of the most critical steps for determining the manufacturing cost and performance of the catalyst.
EP2771107(a1) describes a method for preparing a silver catalyst, in which silver oxalate containing 15% of water is added separately to an aqueous solution of lithium and sulfur as promoters and an aqueous solution of tungsten and cesium as complexing agents to prepare an impregnation solution, α -alumina is used as a carrier, and the impregnation of the carrier is performed in a vacuum drum mixer. The silver catalyst impregnated support is activated at a temperature of 270 ℃ and 295 ℃, with calcination times typically of at least 5min or more.
The WO 2003/072246 patent describes a process for the preparation of a silver catalyst by dissolving silver oxalate with ethylenediamine at a temperature below 30 c and adding an auxiliary agent such as cesium hydroxide. The silver catalyst impregnated support was centrifuged at 500rpm for 2min to remove excess impregnation solution from the catalyst precursor. The catalyst precursor was then dried in a stream of air at 250 ℃ with shaking for 5.5 min. The reaction temperature of the prepared catalyst is 224 ℃ and 240 ℃, and the selectivity is 81.9-82.5%.
The silver catalyst of CN 104275211B provides a method for preparing a silver catalyst for the oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide by immersing an inert carrier in a silver/amine solution while introducing promoters of Cs, Re, S, etc. The impregnated silver catalyst carrier is activated for 5min in air at 250 ℃.
The preparation method of the catalyst basically adopts a mode of directly and rapidly heating and activating at high temperature, but the activation mode causes the impregnation liquid in the impregnated silver catalyst carrier to boil and overflow due to the too fast heating mode, so that the active ingredients and the cocatalyst of the silver catalyst are migrated and unevenly distributed, the synergistic effect of the active ingredients and the cocatalyst is influenced, and the key indexes of the catalyst such as activity, selectivity and the like are influenced. And simultaneously, the problems of silver loss and environmental protection caused by volatilization of organic matters in the preparation process of the catalyst are caused.

Example 4
The process of example 1 was followed except that the impregnated carrier was heated from 25 ℃ to 125 ℃ at a rate of 10 ℃/min, then evacuated to-0.08 MPa, held for 5min, and finally activated in a double cone at 280 ℃ and a vacuum of-0.09 MPa for 50min to obtain silver catalyst 3.

Test example
Catalytic olefin epoxidation: the activity and selectivity of the prepared silver catalyst were measured using a microreactor evaluation unit under the aforementioned process conditions, and the test results are shown in table 2.

TABLE 2
In Table 2, "initial reaction temperature" means the lowest reaction temperature at which the space-time yield reaches 245gEO/ml Cat./h (industrially, reaction drum temperature) and indicates activity, and lower temperatures indicate higher activity; the "organic solvent recovery rate" refers to a ratio of the recovered organic solvent to the organic solvent contained in the impregnation liquid.
As can be seen from the comparison of the above comparative example and examples, by the first activation treatment process of less than 130 c, in contrast to the rapid activation (comparative example 1) in which activation is carried out directly by a high-temperature hot air stream, it is necessary to control the rate of temperature rise and to secure the degree of vacuum in order to control the initial reaction temperature without a large increase and to achieve a simultaneous increase in the initial reaction temperature and selectivity. Wherein the activity and stability of the industrial reaction of the silver catalyst can be ensured in a longer time at the initial reaction temperature of less than 226 ℃.
The initial reaction temperature of examples 1-4 is 224.3-225.6 deg.C, the selectivity is 84.0-84.3%, and it can meet the requirement of large-scale industrial application. The initial reaction temperatures of examples 5-6 were 227.5-230 ℃ and the relative activities were low. Example 7 selectivity was 82.9%, relative selectivity was low. The organic solvent in the comparative examples 1 and 3-4 can not be recovered at all, and can only be burnt by tail gas combustion equipment and absorbed by an alkali liquor absorption tower, the recovery rate of the organic solvent in the method is more than 99.9 percent, and the whole process is green and environment-friendly. In addition, the initial reaction temperatures in comparative examples 2 to 3 were 230 ℃ or higher, and it was difficult to ensure the stability and service life of the catalyst during use.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical idea of the invention, many simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable way, and these simple modifications and combinations should also be regarded as the disclosure of the invention, and all fall within the scope of the invention.
