Description

Silver-gold bimetal supported catalyst and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of olefin epoxidation, and particularly relates to a silver-gold bimetallic supported catalyst and a preparation method thereof, the silver-gold bimetallic supported catalyst prepared by the method, and application of the silver-gold bimetallic supported catalyst in ethylene epoxidation.
Background
Under the action of the silver catalyst, ethylene is oxidized to mainly generate ethylene oxide, and byproducts of carbon dioxide, water and the like are generated at the same time, wherein the activity, the selectivity and the stability are main performance indexes of the silver catalyst. The activity refers to the reaction temperature required when the ethylene oxide production process reaches a certain reaction load, and the lower the reaction temperature is, the higher the activity of the catalyst is; selectivity refers to the ratio of moles of ethylene converted to ethylene oxide in the reaction to the total reacted moles of ethylene; stability is expressed as the rate of decline of activity and selectivity, the smaller the rate of decline, the better the stability of the catalyst. The silver catalyst with high activity, high selectivity and good stability is used in the process of producing ethylene oxide by oxidizing ethylene, so that the economic benefit can be greatly improved, and the preparation of the silver catalyst with high activity, high selectivity and good stability is the main direction of research on the silver catalyst.
Currently, industrial silver catalysts all use alpha-alumina supported silver monometal, and the preparation method comprises two processes of preparing alumina and applying active components and auxiliary agents to the carrier.
The conventional method of applying the active component silver and the auxiliary agent to the carrier is mainly a dip-reduction method, i.e., the carrier is first dipped with a solution containing a silver salt, an organic amine and various auxiliary agents, and then the dipped carrier is subjected to an activation treatment in a heat medium to reduce the silver salt to the active component silver and decompose an excessive reducing agent.
The disclosed patents mostly describe single metal silver catalysts, and few double metal alloy catalysts are used for preparing silver catalysts, but some double metal alloy catalysts can have excellent catalytic performance, for example, CN201310090699.0 uses silver-palladium double metal silver catalysts to show better catalytic selectivity under normal pressure reaction conditions.
Other methods of activating atmospheres have been reported, including air, oxygen-containing mixtures and inert atmospheres, with activation temperatures in the broad range of 100-950 ℃. EP0038446A uses a stepwise temperature rise process to decompose silver compounds into the active component silver; US5602070A believes that treating the catalyst in an inert atmosphere at no more than 300 ℃ is beneficial in improving the performance of the catalyst.
The above patent documents have a limited effect of improving the activity of the silver catalyst, and have an insignificant effect of improving the selectivity and a significant effect on the stability.
In addition, in industrial production, the recycle gas from ethylene oxide production plants contains a certain amount of water vapour (0.2-0.5%), but some plants may have a water content of up to 5% in some cases. The silver catalyst has better catalytic activity and stability under the condition of normal water content (0.2-0.5%), but when the water content in the circulating gas reaches more than 2.0%, the activity and the selectivity of the catalyst are reduced to different degrees, and the service life of the catalyst can be shortened under severe conditions.
Therefore, there is still a need to develop a method for improving the activity and selectivity of silver catalyst to a greater extent, especially for silver-containing catalyst with excellent catalytic performance under high water content.

Test example
Analyzing the silver content and the gold content of the prepared catalyst, wherein the contents are calculated by metal elements; the activity and selectivity of the catalyst samples were measured using a microreactor evaluation unit under the aforementioned process conditions and the results of the tests are set forth in Table 1.
TABLE 1 test results of catalysts for ethylene oxide production
Figure BDA0002246290220000101
* Note: selectively taking the accumulated EO yield to 400T/M 3 Average value of catalyst time, reaction temperature, and cumulative EO production to 400T/M 3 Reaction temperature at the time of catalyst.
As can be seen by comparing the data in table 1, the silver content in the impregnation solution using silver carbonate can be further increased while increasing the silver content on the carrier, simplifying the preparation process compared to the method using silver nitrate.
The test results of comparative example 1 in the presence and absence of water show that the single silver catalyst suffers a large loss of selectivity and activity in the presence of 3% water, whereas the catalysts of examples 1-5, after addition of gold, show comparable activity and selectivity in the absence of water as the single silver catalyst, but show a large increase in activity and selectivity in the presence of water.
As can be seen from the data of example 2, example 3, and example 4, the silver-gold bimetal supported catalyst has lower stability and selectivity of activation under air conditions than the bimetal catalyst activated under a reducing atmosphere.
The data of example 5 show that a suitable gold content can further significantly improve the selectivity and stability of the catalyst.
