Description

Preparation method of silver catalyst for producing ethylene oxide by ethylene oxidation, silver catalyst and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of silver catalysts, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a silver catalyst for producing ethylene oxide by oxidizing ethylene, the silver catalyst prepared by the method, and application of the silver catalyst in the reaction of producing ethylene oxide by oxidizing ethylene.
Background
Ethylene is oxidized under the action of a silver catalyst to mainly generate ethylene oxide, and side reactions occur to generate carbon dioxide and water, wherein the activity, selectivity and stability are main performance indexes of the silver catalyst. By activity is meant the reaction temperature required for the ethylene oxide production process to reach a certain reaction load. The lower the reaction temperature, the higher the activity of the catalyst. By selectivity is meant the ratio of the moles of ethylene converted to ethylene oxide in the reaction to the total moles of ethylene reacted. The stability is expressed as the rate of decrease in activity and selectivity, with the lower the rate, 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. The performance of the silver catalyst is not only important in relation to the composition of the catalyst and the preparation method, but also important in relation to the performance of the carrier used in the catalyst and the preparation method.
The preparation method of the silver catalyst in the prior art comprises two processes of preparing a porous carrier (such as alumina) and applying an active component and an auxiliary agent to the carrier. In the preparation of silver catalyst, the catalyst is prepared by reacting alpha-Al 2 O 3 Suitable specific surface area and pore structure are required for the carrier as the main component, on one hand, enough space is provided for the ethylene epoxidation reaction to diffuse out the reaction heat, and on the other hand, the timely desorption of the reaction product ethylene oxide is facilitated, and the generation of carbon dioxide as a byproduct of deep oxidation is avoided. Chinese patent CN1009437B is prepared by mixing alumina trihydrate with proper proportion and has a specific surface of 0.2-2 m 2 The alumina carrier with pore volume larger than 0.5ml/g, wherein the pore radius larger than 30 μm accounts for less than 25 percent, and the selectivity of the catalyst for ethylene epoxidation reaction can reach 83 to 84 percent.
The addition of other components to the alumina carrier to improve the carrier and improve the performance of the silver catalyst is also an important research direction. Furthermore, the performance of the silver catalyst can also be improved by chemically treating the alumina support. European patent EP0150238B1, which claims to improve the crushing strength and abrasion resistance of the support using a small amount of barium aluminate or barium silicate binder during the manufacture of a high purity, low surface alumina support, produces a support having a specific surface of less than 0.3m 2 The catalyst prepared has low activity and selectivity per gram. US4740493A, US4829043A and EP0501317A1 use alumina supports that contain certain amounts of Ca, al, K, na soluble salts that are claimed to reduce the rate of decrease of catalyst selectivity during use. US5384302A states that alpha-Al is pretreated by 2 O 3 The content of Na, K, ca and Al ions in the carrier is reduced, and the crushing strength and the wear resistance of the carrier are improved. EP0712334B1 a silver catalyst is made by supporting an effective amount of silver, a promoter amount of an alkali metal, a promoter amount of magnesium and a promoter amount of rhenium on a support comprising at least 85% alumina and 0.001-2% magnesium in the form of an oxide, which improves the stability of the catalyst. US5100859A, US5145824A, EP0900126B1, US5801259A, US5733842A for treating alkaline earth metal, silicon, zirconiumAdding alpha-Al 2 O 3 The patent teaches that alkaline earth metal, preferably calcium, strontium and barium salts, are used with zirconium compounds and the effect of adding both on catalyst performance is unknown. US5739075A shows that the selectivity of the catalyst decreases at a rate lower than that of a sample of the catalyst which is not subjected to the predeposition treatment, by preliminarily depositing a promoter amount of a rare earth metal and another promoter amount of a metal salt (an alkaline earth metal or a group VIII transition metal) on the surface of an alumina carrier, followed by calcination treatment, and finally preparing the treated carrier into a silver catalyst. CN1511632A found that a carrier made of a heavy alkaline earth metal compound added to an alumina raw material, a solution prepared by impregnating a silver compound, an organic amine and a specific auxiliary agent, and a silver catalyst prepared by heat treatment in an oxygen-containing mixed gas have improved activity and selectivity in an ethylene oxidation reaction.
Although the above patent documents respectively adopt various methods to improve the alumina carrier, which brings about various improvements in the activity, stability and selectivity of the catalyst, the requirements for the carrier performance are continuously increasing with the large-scale industrial application of Re-containing high-selectivity silver catalysts, and therefore, the carrier performance needs to be continuously improved.
