Description

Silver catalyst for producing ethylene oxide by ethylene oxidation and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of silver catalysts, and particularly relates to a silver catalyst for producing ethylene oxide by ethylene oxidation, a preparation method of the silver catalyst for producing ethylene oxide by ethylene oxidation, a silver catalyst prepared by the preparation method of the silver catalyst for producing ethylene oxide by ethylene oxidation, and application of the silver catalyst in the reaction for producing ethylene oxide by ethylene oxidation.
Background
Ethylene is oxidized to mainly generate ethylene oxide under the action of a silver catalyst, and side reactions simultaneously occur to generate carbon dioxide and water, wherein the activity, the selectivity and the stability are main performance indexes of the silver catalyst. The activity refers to the reaction temperature required for the production process of the ethylene oxide 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. Stability is expressed as the rate of decrease in activity and selectivity, with lower rates indicating better catalyst stability. The use of a silver catalyst with high activity, high selectivity and good stability in the process of producing ethylene oxide by ethylene oxidation can greatly improve economic benefit, so that the production of the silver catalyst with high activity, high selectivity and good stability is the main direction of silver catalyst research. The performance of the silver catalyst has important relation with the composition of the catalyst and the preparation method, and also has important relation with the performance of a carrier used by the catalyst and the preparation method.
The preparation method of the silver catalyst in the prior art comprises a porous carrierThe preparation of the body (e.g. alumina) and the application of the active ingredient and the adjuvant to the support. In the preparation of silver catalyst, for alpha-Al 2 O 3 The carrier of the main component has proper specific surface and pore structure, and has enough space for the epoxidation of ethylene to diffuse out the heat of reaction, and is favorable to desorbing the reaction product ethylene oxide in time to avoid deep oxidation to produce carbon dioxide as side product. German patent WO2021260138A1 provides a shaped catalyst body for the vapor phase oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide having a BET surface area of from 2 to 20m 2 And comprising silver and rhenium promoters deposited on a porous-alumina catalyst support, characterized in that the support has a calcination history of at least 1460 ℃, the catalyst support having a high surface area and a small amount of ethylene oxide isomerisation and/or decomposition activity. Chinese patent CN1009437B adopts alumina trihydrate with proper proportion to prepare the alumina powder with specific surface area of 0.2-2 m 2 And/g, the pore volume is larger than 0.5mL/g, wherein pores with the pore radius larger than 30 mu m account for less than 25 percent, and the selectivity of the catalyst can reach 83 to 84 percent when the catalyst is used for ethylene epoxidation reaction.
The addition of other components to alumina supports to improve the support and improve the performance of the silver catalyst is also an important research direction. In addition, the performance of the silver catalyst can also be improved by chemically treating the alumina carrier. German patent WO2021260185A1 provides a sheet-like catalyst support, characterized in that the alpha-alumina content is at least 85wt.%, the pore volume, as determined by mercury porosimetry, is at least 0.40ml/g, and the BET surface area is from 0.5 to 5.0m 2 The platelet-shaped catalyst support is an alpha-alumina catalyst support which has a high geometric accuracy and shows a high total pore volume, allowing impregnation with a large amount of silver, while showing a sufficiently large surface area to provide an optimal dispersion of the catalytically active species, in particular the metal species. European patent EP0150238B1 claims to improve the crushing strength and abrasion resistance of a support by using a small amount of barium aluminate or barium silicate binder in the manufacture of high purity, low surface alumina supports having a specific surface area of less than 0.3m 2 /g, made up ofThe catalyst activity and selectivity were relatively low. The alumina supports used in US4740493A, US4829043a and EP0501317A1 contain some amount of Ca, al, K, na soluble salts which purportedly reduce the rate of catalyst selectivity decline during use. US5384302a states that by pretreatment of α -Al 2 O 3 Reducing the Na, K, ca, al ion content in the carrier improves the crushing strength and abrasion resistance of the carrier. Korean patent KR102258044B1, which is a method for preparing a catalyst for producing high-yield ethylene oxide from ethylene by adjusting the metal crystal size by adding polyvinyl pyrrolidone, firstly dissolves a compound containing at least one first metal selected from Ag, pd and Pt in a solvent to form a solution, contains at least one compound of a first metal selected from cesium, rhenium, molybdenum, lithium, sodium, and then adds polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) having a molecular weight of 20,000 to 55,000 to the catalyst precursor solution in an amount of 0.3 to 0.6wt% based on the catalyst precursor solution. EP0712334B1 provides a silver catalyst having improved stability by supporting an effective amount of silver, an auxiliary amount of an alkali metal, an auxiliary amount of magnesium, and an auxiliary amount of rhenium on a carrier comprising at least 85% alumina and 0.001-2% magnesium in the form of an oxide. U.S. Pat. No. 3,979,B1, U.S. Pat. No. 3, 5801259A, US5733842A incorporates alkaline earth metals, silicon, zirconium into alpha-Al 2 O 3 The silver catalyst is prepared by impregnating a carrier with silver, an alkali metal promoter, a rhenium promoter and a promoter thereof, and the patent indicates that alkaline earth metals, preferably calcium, strontium and barium salts are used together with zirconium compounds, and the influence of the addition of the two on the catalyst performance cannot be known. US5739075A prepares a silver catalyst from a treated carrier by depositing a promoter amount of a rare earth metal and another promoter amount of a metal salt (alkaline earth metal or group VIII transition metal) on the surface of an alumina carrier in advance, and then calcining the catalyst, and the evaluation result shows that the selectivity reduction rate of the catalyst is smaller than that of a catalyst sample which is not subjected to the pre-deposition treatment. CN1511632a found that a silver catalyst prepared by adding a heavy alkaline earth metal compound to an alumina raw material to prepare a carrier, impregnating a solution prepared from a silver compound, an organic amine and a specific auxiliary agent, and heat-treating the solution in an oxygen-containing mixed gas, was subjected to ethylene oxidation reactionThe activity and the selectivity are improved.
Although the above patent documents respectively adopt various methods to improve the alumina carrier, which brings about different improvements to the activity, stability and selectivity of the catalyst, the requirements for the catalyst performance are continuously increased along with the large-scale industrial application of the silver catalyst with high Re selectivity, and therefore, the performance of the silver catalyst is required to be continuously improved.
