Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a catalyst for catalytic cracking fluidized-bed, especially a catalyst for fluidized-bed to produce ethylene-propylene by catalytically cracking naphtha.


BACKGROUND ART

Currently, the primary process for producing ethylene-propylene is the steam pyrolysis, and the commonly used materials are naphtha. However, there are several shortcomings for steam pyrolysis of naphtha, e.g. high reaction temperature, rigorous technological conditions, high requirements on the devices, particularly on the furnace tube materials, and high-loss. Various meaningful studies thus are carried out. Catalytic cracking is the most attracting and promising one, and the object thereof is to find a suitable cracking catalyst to increase the selectivity of ethylene-propylene, decrease the reaction temperature and have some certain flexibility of the ethylene-propylene yield.


From the current documents, most catalytic cracking researchers generally use the molecular sieves having a high silica alumina ratio as the catalytic materials and use high valent metallic ions for exchanging and impregnating. However, the molecular sieves have a worse hydrothermal stability and are difficult to regenerate.


U.S. Pat. No. 6,211,104 and CN1504540A disclosed a catalyst comprising 10-70 wt % of clay, 5-85 wt % of inorganic oxides and 1-50 wt % of molecular sieves. Various materials for the conventional steam pyrolysis therein exhibited excellent activity stability and high yields of light olefin, especially ethylene, wherein said molecular sieves were produced by impregnating 0-25 wt % of Y type zeolite having a high silica alumina ratio or ZSM molecular sieves having MFI structure with phosphorus/alumina, magnesium or calcium, and were substantially the pure molecular sift catalysts.


In addition, oxides are also used as catalysts.


U.S. Pat. No. 4,620,051 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,705,769 of PHILLIPS PETROLEUM CO (US) disclosed using the oxide catalyst having manganese oxide and iron oxide as active ingredients and added with rare earth element La and alkaline earth metal Mg to crack C3 and C4 materials. Under the circumstance that Mn,Mg/Al2O3 catalyst was placed in the fixed-bed reactor in the laboratory, water and butane are in a molar ratio of 1:1 at a temperature of 700° C.; the butane conversion rate may achieve 80%; and ethylene and propylene had the selectivity of 34% and 20% respectively. Said patents also alleged that naphtha and fluidized-bed reactors could be used therein.


CN1317546A of ENICHEM SPA (IT) disclosed a steam cracking catalyst having the chemical formula of 12CaO.7Al2O3. Naphtha may be used as the raw materials. The reaction was carried out at a temperature of 720-800° C. and under 1.1-1.8 atmospheric pressure, and the contact time was 0.07-0.2 s. The yield of ethylene and propylene may achieve 43%.


USSR Pat1298240.1987 disclosed feeding Zr2O3 and potassium vanadate loaded on pumice or ceramic into a medium-size apparatus having a temperature of 660-780° C. and a space velocity of 2-5 hour−1, wherein the weight ratio of water/straight-run gasoline may be 1:1. The normal alkane C7-17, cyclohexane and straight-run gasoline were used as the raw materials, wherein the ethylene yield could achieve 46%, and propylene 8.8%.


CN1480255A introduced an oxide catalyst for producing ethylene-propylene by catalytically cracking naphtha as the raw materials at a temperature of 780° C., wherein the ethylene-propylene yield may achieve 47%.


Naphtha further contains a part of components having different molecular diameters and different cracking performances, such as aromatic hydrocarbons, cyclanes and the like. The molecular sieves shall have a better selectivity to ethylene and propylene so as to crack these complex raw materials into ethylene and propylene. In order to reduce coking and decrease the partial pressure of the raw materials, the catalytic cracking should be generally carried out in the environment in which water vapor is present. In addition, the catalyst needs to have a better hydrothermal stability and can be regenerated repeatedly.


Since the molecular sieves such as ZSM-5 molecular sieves, Y zeolites and Mordenitee (MOR) have better shape selective catalytic performances and thermal stability, they are widely used in the petrochemical field. These molecular sieves have a homogeneous pore diameter and have different catalytic performances for the same reactants, so that the separate application thereof is disadvantageous to the processing of raw materials having complex ingredients.


The mechanical mixtures containing these two molecular sieves have multistage pore diameters, and the catalytic performances of the ingredients are different from each other. Thus, when the complex feedstocks having different molecular diameters are processed, the respective catalytic effects of said ingredients can be exerted so as to show better catalytic performances than the single ingredient. However, the mechanical mixtures merely involve the simple mixing of two molecular sieves, and their acid amount and acid strength are also the simple addition of two ingredients. Moreover, their pore diameters do not affect each other; their catalytic effects are separated from each other; the catalytic reaction is finished within each molecular sieve.


In conclusion, molecular sieves as the primary cracking catalysts are attached great importance. However, the examples regarding the co-grown molecular sieves mixing with oxides are rarely reported.


CONTENTS OF THE INVENTION

The technical problems to be solved by the present invention are high reaction temperature, low cryogenic activity of catalysts and worse selectivity during the preparation of ethylene-propylene by catalytic cracking in the prior art, and to provide a novel catalyst for catalytic cracking fluidized-bed. Said catalyst is used to produce ethylene-propylene by catalytically cracking naphtha, which not only decreases the catalytic cracking temperature, but also enhances the selectivity of the catalyst.


In order to solve the problems above, the present invention carries out the technical solution of a catalyst for catalytic cracking fluidized-bed, comprising a support and a composition having the following chemical formula, which is on the basis of atom ratio:

In the preparation of the catalyst, active elements may be impregnated onto the molecular sieves, or homogeneously mixed with molecular sieves for moulding. The preparation of the moulding form of the catalyst comprises heating and reflowing the slurry added with various ingredient elements and supports in a water bath having a temperature of 70-80° C. for 5 hours and spray-drying. The resulted powder is then calcined in the muffle furnace at a temperature of 600-750° C. for 3-10 hours.





BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The FIG. 1 is a XRD diffraction pattern of a ZSM-5/β zeolite co-grown molecular sieves;


The FIG. 2 is a SEM photograph of a composite molecular sieve co-grown by ZSM-5/Mordenitee molecular sieve; and


The FIG. 3 is a NH3-TPD spectra of a co-growth ZSM-5/MOR composite molecular sieve and a physical mixture of ZSM-5 and MOR





DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Since the porous co-grown materials are greatly different from the simple phase mechanical mixture in the surface and interface, acidity and specific surface, and have a great acid amount and a stronger acidity, the strong acid amount and weak acid amount of the co-grown molecular sieves both are notably higher than those of the mechanical mixture of the phase contained therein. This is because there appears a phase interface between ZSM-5 and MOR when the solid-state phase transition occurs. Since said ZSM-5 and MOR have different crystal cell parameters, they are not completely coherent so as to produce a certain distortion energy on the phase interface. Due to the great charge density at the position of the distortion energy so as to have adsorptivity and produce a certain acidity, the co-grown molecular sieves obtained during the crystal-transforming process have a greater than acid amount than the corresponding mechanical mixtures. The co-grown molecular sieves have multistage channels so as to have better catalytic performances, and can be used for processing the raw material mixtures having different molecular diameters.


The FIG. 2 shows a SEM photograph of a composite molecular sieve co-grown by ZSM-5/Mordenitee molecular sieve. Therein the ball-like structures are ZSM-5 molecular sieve and the bar-shape structures are Mordenitee (MOR) molecular sieve. It can be seen that the two types of structures are tightly interlaced with each other and have a distinct phase interface, i.e., an interface between two phases of different type molecular sieve. This may due to a mosaictype growth of the microcrystallites in the composite molecular sieve.


In comparison, the particles of the different types of molecular sieves in a physical mixture would be separately dispersed. That is to say, like a pile of toy bricks with different shapes, the particles of the different types of molecular sieves can be stacked loosely and randomly, but would not be interlaced so tightly. The phase interface would be unlikely produced in a physical mixture.


This difference can also be seen in the FIG. 3, which is a NH3-TPD spectra of a co-growth ZSM-5/MOR composite molecular sieve and a physical mixture of ZSM-5 and MOR. The FIG. 3 shows that the integral area of the co-grown composite is significantly larger than that of the physical mixture. This illustrates that the acid amount of the co-grown composite is larger than acid amount of the physical mixture. The increase of acid amount should be produced by the increased negative charge density at the phase interface caused by the lattice distortion, that is to say, the relative aggregation of the negative charge at the phase interface forms a Lewis acid.


As compared with the corresponding mechanical mixtures, the co-grown molecular sieves containing such two ingredients have not only the multistage channel effect, but also stronger acidity. Moreover, since the co-grown molecular sieves are formed by partially crystal-transforming one ingredient, the channels of two ingredients of the co-grown molecular sieves communicate with each other, so as to better exert their synergistic catalytic performances.


For example, it is reported according to the inventor's M A Guangwei et al, Synthesizing Mechanism II of ZSM-5/MOR Co-grown Molecular Sieves—Phase transition during the synthesis, Journal of the Chinese Ceramic Society, 2010, 38(10) 1937-1943, that there is the phase transition process during the synthesis of the co-grown molecular sieves. During such process, lattice distortion occurs since the crystal lattices of two phases do not match, so as to resulting an increased acid amount and a strengthened acidity of the co-grown molecular sieves.


Thus the co-grown molecular sieves can be used for processing the complex ingredients having different molecular diameters and can really exert their synergistic catalytic effects since they have a multistage channel structure, a great acid amount and a widely distributed strong acid and weak acid scope.


Since at least one selected from the group of SiO2, Al2O3, molecular sieves or composite molecular sieves having acidity, shape selectivity and high specific surface area is used as the cracking auxiliary agent, it is advantageous to cracking olefin materials according to the carbonium ion mechanism, producing low carbon olefins, and obtaining the synergistic effects when being compounded with active ingredients having oxidation reduction. At a relatively low temperature (580-650° C.), it achieves better catalytically cracking effects, obtains relatively high ethylene-propylene yield and better technical effects.


MODE OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

In order to evaluate the activity of the catalyst of the present invention, naphtha is used as the raw material (see Table 1 for specific indexes). The reaction is carried out at a temperature of 580-650° C., a catalyst loading of 0.5-2 g naphtha/g catalyst·h, and a water/naphtha weight ratio of 0.5-3:1.
