Description

Toluene disproportionation and transalkylation catalyst, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of catalysts, in particular to a toluene disproportionation and transalkylation catalyst, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Benzene, toluene and xylene are important basic organic raw materials in petrochemical industry and are mainly obtained by catalytic reforming of naphtha. However, due to the thermodynamic limitation of the reaction, the total amount of aromatic hydrocarbons generated by catalytic reforming and the distribution structure of products cannot meet the market demand, and the yield of benzene and xylene with high added value is low. In order to meet the market demand and improve the economic benefit, the aromatics complex mainly increases the yield of the xylene by toluene disproportionation and taking toluene and C9A, C10A and more than ten carbon heavy aromatics (C10+ A) as raw materials for toluene disproportionation and transalkylation reactions. The heavy naphtha raw material is aggravated due to the large-scale of an aromatic hydrocarbon combination device and the construction of a megaton large ethylene device, and heavy aromatic hydrocarbons are more and more by-produced. Because the condensed ring compounds in the heavy aromatics are easy to aggravate the carbon deposition deactivation of the catalyst, the heavy aromatics (C10+ A) with carbon ten or more can only be partially utilized at present, and therefore, the traditional disproportionation and transalkylation processes have strict limitations on the content of C10+ A in the reaction raw materials.
In order to improve the yield and heavy aromatic hydrocarbon processing capacity of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, accelerate the aromatic hydrocarbon dealkylation reaction of C9+ A and improve the conversion rate of C9+ A, hydrogenation metal components such as platinum, rhenium, molybdenum, nickel and the like are required to be introduced to a molecular sieve catalyst for modification, and the carbon deposition rate is slowed down by hydrogenation of a saturated carbon deposition precursor, so that the stability of the catalyst is improved. However, the stronger hydrogenation function can lead to the improvement of the selectivity of non-aromatic hydrocarbon, increase the hydrogen consumption of reaction and release strong heat, and the C6-C7 non-aromatic hydrocarbon generated by the hydrogenation of benzene and toluene is difficult to be completely separated from the benzene product by a rectification method, thus leading to the reduction of the quality of the benzene product. In order to improve the overall performance of the supported catalyst, the hydrogenation performance of the active metal is generally adjusted by optimizing reaction process conditions (such as reducing hydrogen partial pressure and increasing reaction temperature) and methods of pre-carbon deposition of the catalyst, metal vulcanization, adding a second metal auxiliary agent (lead and tin) and the like, so that the side reaction of aromatic hydrogenation is kinetically or thermodynamically inhibited. CN1259930A discloses a multi-layer molecular sieve catalytic process for heavy aromatics treatment. The benzene product with the purity higher than 99.85 percent can be obtained by adopting the process, but the dealkylation and light conversion performance of the heavy aromatics is lower, and the conversion capability of the heavy aromatics is poorer. Especially on the second layer catalyst which takes ZSM-5 as the main active component, the catalyst is easy to be quickly deactivated because of heavier raw materials. CN105272803A discloses a method for disproportionation and transalkylation of toluene and heavy aromatics, which divides the reactions of the disproportionation and transalkylation of toluene and heavy aromatics into different zones by distinguishing the reaction characteristics of different reactions, wherein the first layer of catalyst is used for selective dealkylation of heavy aromatics and partial hydrocracking and lightening of naphthalene series, the second layer of catalyst is used for disproportionation and transalkylation of methylbenzene to maximize the production of dimethylbenzene and benzene, and the third layer of catalyst is used for selective cracking of non-aromatic hydrocarbons with boiling points close to that of benzene in the hydrogenation side reaction to generate light hydrocarbon components, thereby improving the quality of benzene products. The process can integrate the advantages of catalysts of all layers, improve the conversion rate of heavy aromatics and co-produce qualified benzene products. However, due to the formation of indanes and tetralin compounds which are hydrogenation products generated after the raw materials pass through the first layer of catalyst, unsaturated hydrocarbons generated by cracking of cycloalkanes formed by excessive hydrogenation in the subsequent hydrocracking process for preparing monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons easily cause the coverage of catalyst active sites on the second layer and the reduction of mass transfer efficiency and activity caused by pore channel blockage caused by coke and coke precursors. How to avoid the coverage of active sites on active component molecular sieves in the catalyst and the formation of macromolecular coke and coke precursors in the pore channels is an important way for improving the activity stability of the catalyst. Patent US6623626 describes a catalyst system for ring opening of naphthenes, mainly consisting of two layers, the upper layer being a Pt/Pd catalyst, aiming at isomerizing six-membered ring hydrocarbons into five-membered ring hydrocarbons, and the lower layer being a catalyst containing Ir, to achieve ring opening of five-membered ring hydrocarbons. The catalyst system is mainly used for improving the cetane number of diesel oil fraction, and the acid function is weak. CN103120954A discloses a catalyst for preparing monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. The catalyst can convert polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon into benzene, toluene, xylene, C9 aromatic hydrocarbon and partial monocyclic C10 aromatic hydrocarbon, and the conversion rate is over 30 percent.
