Waste plastics: is a general name of used plastics which are finally eliminated or replaced in civil and industrial applications, and common waste plastics include PE, PP, PVC, PET, EPS, PA and ABS.
The inventor discovers that the molecular sieve and modified molecular sieve catalyst for waste plastic cracking have the characteristics of unique acidity, shape-selective selectivity and the like when analyzing the waste plastic cracking catalyst in the prior art, but if the molecular sieve is used as the catalyst only, hydrocarbon macromolecules generated by plastic pyrolysis are easy to further polymerize on the surface active sites of the molecular sieve, coke is formed to cover the active sites of the molecular sieve, pore channels of the molecular sieve are blocked, the molecular sieve catalyst is quickly inactivated, good product distribution cannot be obtained, the use cost of the catalyst is higher, and the industrial application is difficult. And the substrates used by the existing molecular sieve catalyst are clay substrates, the specific surface and the pore volume are both low, and the requirement of the primary cracking reaction of waste plastics cannot be met. The important purpose of the present application is to develop a catalyst which can crack waste plastics to obtain low-carbon olefins and has high gasoline quality. The specific scheme is as follows.
A catalyst for preparing low-olefine by catalytic cracking waste plastics is composed of Si-Al substrate and molecular sieve, the Si-Al substrate contains Si-contained substance and Al-contained substance, and SiO 2 The mass of the silicon-containing substance accounts for 10 to 40 weight percent of the mass of the catalyst, and Al 2 O 3 The mass of the aluminum-containing substance accounts for 30-60 wt% of the mass of the catalyst, and the pore size of the silicon-aluminum substrate is distributed at 5-200 nm; the molecular sieve comprises a ZSM-5 molecular sieve or/and a ZSM-11 molecular sieve; the molecular sieve accounts for 10-40 wt% of the catalyst.
Preferably, the silica-alumina matrix further comprises a phosphorus oxide, with P 2 O 5 The mass of the phosphorus oxide accounts for 1.5-7.0 wt% of the mass of the catalyst.
In certain embodiments, the silica alumina substrate has a pore size distribution of 5 to 200nm.
Preferably, the ratio of pores with the pore diameter of 5 nm-20 nm in the pores of the silicon-aluminum substrate is 20-40%; the ratio of pores having a pore diameter of more than 2nm and 200nm or less is 20 to 80%.
The ZSM-5 or ZSM-11 may be a microporous molecular sieve as disclosed in the prior art, having a pore size of less than 2nm.
By combining the silicon-aluminum substrate with the hierarchical pore structure and the ZSM-5 or ZSM-11 molecular sieve (both the ZSM-5 molecular sieve and the ZSM-11 are highly selective molecular sieves), the cracking reaction of C6-C9 components in gasoline can be carried out in the pore channel of the ZSM-5 or ZSM-11 molecular sieve to generate C3 and C4, and the isomerization and aromatization reactions can also be carried out to improve the octane number of the gasoline, thereby not only improving the yield of low-carbon olefin, but also improving the quality of the gasoline.
In the silicon-aluminum matrix, the pore volume of the silicon-aluminum matrix is 0.8-1.3 cm 3 (ii) in terms of/g. Preferably, the specific surface area of the silicon-aluminum substrate is 380 to 550m 2 /g。
The catalyst for preparing the low-carbon olefin by the catalytic cracking of the waste plastic with the characteristics can be prepared by various methods. In the present application, the following method is used, among others.
On the other hand, the preparation method of the catalyst for preparing the low-carbon olefin by the catalytic cracking of the waste plastic comprises the following steps:
(1) Mixing solution A obtained by mixing pseudo-boehmite and alkali metal hydroxide solution with silicate to obtain solution B, wherein SiO in silicate in mixed solution B 2 With Al in pseudo-boehmite 2 O 3 Mass ratio of substance SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 =(0.05~2):1;
(2) Adding an ammonium dihydrogen phosphate solution into the solution B, adjusting the pH to be less than 10, and standing to generate a precipitate in the solution B;
filtering the solution B containing the precipitate, wherein a filter cake is a silicon-aluminum substrate material;
(3) Mixing a silicon-aluminum substrate and a molecular sieve in water to obtain slurry C, wherein the molecular sieve comprises a ZSM-5 molecular sieve or/and a ZSM-11 molecular sieve;
the slurry C was spray dried to obtain the final catalyst.
In certain embodiments, the alkali metal hydroxide is sodium hydroxide and the amount of pseudoboehmite and sodium hydroxide used is Al 2 O 3 /Na 2 The mass ratio of O is between 0.1 and 0.9.
Preferably, the reaction temperature of the pseudoboehmite and the sodium hydroxide solution is controlled between 80 and 140 ℃.
Here, the concentration of sodium hydroxide is not particularly required as long as the above-mentioned requirements can be obtained.
In certain embodiments, al is 2 O 3 Adding 10-40 wt% of pseudo-boehmite powder into 30-50wt% of NaOH solution, and controlling the reaction temperature to be 80-140 ℃ to obtain solution.
In some embodiments, the pseudoboehmite and the sodium hydroxide are used in an amount of Al 2 O 3 /Na 2 The mass ratio of O is between 0.13 and 0.7.
In certain embodiments, in step (1), the mass ratio of silica to alkali metal oxide is 3.0.
The silicate may be a water-soluble silicate including sodium silicate and/or potassium silicate.
Preferably, siO in silicate in the mixed solution B 2 With Al in pseudo-boehmite 2 O 3 Mass ratio of substance SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 =(0.25~1):1
In the step (2), ammonium dihydrogen phosphate is added into the mixed solution, the pH is adjusted to be less than 10, and the temperature is controlled to be 20-30 ℃. Adding a proper amount of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate to obtain the silicon-aluminum substrate with a hierarchical pore structure, wherein the pore diameters of the two pore structures are respectively between 5-20 nm and 20-200 nm (provided by the silicon-aluminum structure precipitated by adding the ammonium dihydrogen phosphate).
Preferably, in the step (2), ammonium dihydrogen phosphate is added to the mixed solution, and the pH is adjusted to 6.0 to 9.0.
Because the steric hindrance of each waste plastic is different and the cracking difficulty is also different, the most probable pore diameter of the silicon-aluminum structure is adjusted according to the specific waste plastic type, so that the diffusion mass transfer of a plastic macromolecular raw material and an intermediate product is promoted, the intermediate product is diffused into a molecular sieve pore channel in time to carry out the next cracking reaction, and the deep cracking on the outer surface is avoided to generate a large amount of coke;
the catalyst prepared by the method can be used for preparing low-carbon olefins by catalytically cracking most of waste plastics, such as: PE, PP, PS, PVC, etc.
For waste plastics which are difficult to crack, the silicon-aluminum ratio and the ammonium dihydrogen phosphate ratio in the silicon-aluminum matrix in the method can be adjusted, the acid centers of the matrix (namely the catalyst contains the silicon-aluminum ratio and the content of phosphorus oxide) are increased, the speed of forming carbonium ions by the waste plastics is accelerated, the catalytic cracking reaction is enhanced, the occurrence of thermal cracking reaction is reduced, and the distribution of products of initial cracking is optimized.
In certain embodiments, in step (3), the silica-alumina substrate is slurried with water to provide a slurry, the molecular sieve is added to the slurry and mixed to provide slurry C.
The amount of water added is generally such that the solids content of slurry C is controlled to about 30% by weight.
The slurry C was spray dried to obtain the final catalyst.
In some embodiments, solution a is mixed with sodium silicate at a temperature of 20 to 50 ℃.
Preferably, the solution A and the sodium silicate are mixed for 5 to 40 hours at the temperature of 20 to 50 ℃.
The adding amount of the molecular sieve is that the ratio of the mass of the molecular sieve dry powder to the dry basis mass of the silicon-aluminum substrate is controlled to be 1:9-4:5.
In the present application, the slurry C is spray-dried at a temperature of 260 to 320 ℃.
The catalyst for preparing low-carbon olefin by catalytic cracking of waste plastic adopts the silicon-aluminum substrate with the multilevel pores, the silicon-aluminum substrate with the multilevel pores can obviously improve the initial cracking reaction product of waste plastic macromolecules, and the catalyst can be reasonably matched with ZSM-5 and/or ZSM-11 molecular sieves to realize the purpose of producing more low-carbon olefin.
In addition, isomerization and aromatization reactions can also occur, the octane number of the gasoline is improved, the yield of the low-carbon olefin can be obviously improved, and the quality of the gasoline can be improved.
