BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
Field of Invention

The present invention relates to the technical field of catalyst technology, and particularly to a cobalt carbide-based catalyst for direct production of olefins from synthesis gas, a preparation method therefor, and application thereof.


Description of Related Arts

The production of olefins is one of the most important processes in petrochemical industry. Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) to olefins from synthesis gas (syngas, a mixture of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO)) is a potential non-petroleum route and has received considerable attention.


The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is a main route for the conversion and utilization of syngas. The existing Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process includes high-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The high-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process developed by Sasol Limited (South Africa) is employed to produce mainly gasoline and low-molecular-weight linear chain alkanes by using a Fe-based catalyst in a fluidized bed reactor at a temperature ranging from 300 to 350° C. The low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process is employed to produce mainly high-molecular-weight linear chain hydrocarbons by using a Fe-based or Co-based catalyst at a temperature ranging from 200 to 240° C. There are many factors affecting the catalytic performance, for example, the catalyst structure, reactor, and reaction conditions. As for the reaction conditions, the reaction temperature, reaction pressure, space velocity and gas composition may greatly affect the final catalytic performance. From a thermodynamic point of view, the reaction temperature mainly affects the chemical equilibrium of the reaction, and the increasing temperature is not necessarily favorable for the F-T synthesis reaction. When the temperature rises, the conversion of CO is accelerated. However, the carbon deposition reaction is an endothermic reaction, and increasing the temperature facilitates the occurrence of the carbon deposition. In addition, if the temperature is too high, the catalyst is susceptible to sintering, which will reduce the catalyst life and even damage the apparatus in a serious situation. In addition, from a kinetic point of view, with the increasing of the reaction rate as the temperature increases, and the side reaction rate also increases accordingly. Therefore, it is necessary to seek for a suitable reaction temperature which depends on the catalyst used. For the effect of pressure on the Fischer-Tropsch reaction, the researchers found that increasing the pressure generally speeds up the F-T synthesis reaction, but the side reaction rate also increases. Meanwhile, a too high pressure necessitates a high-pressure vessel, so that the investment cost of the equipment is high. In summary, in order to achieve an optimum Fischer-Tropsch catalytic performance, various influencing factors need to be optimized comprehensively.


A supported iron-based FTO catalyst has been reported by Krijn P. de Jong et al. (Science, 2012, 335, 835-838.). In the method, an iron species supported on an inert carbon nano tube carrier is used as a catalyst, wherein the interaction between the supporter and the active sites is weakened, thereby improving the selectivity to olefins. The selectivity to lower olefins is up to 61%, but the selectivity to methane is as high as 23%. In addition, the activity is rather low and the conversion is only about 1%. Yi Zhang et al. (ACS Catalysis, 2015, 5, 3905-3909) reported Fe3O4 microspheres with the surface modified with MnOx. Because only the FeCx active sites on the surface of the microspheres participate in the reaction, the influence of diffusion limitation is lowered. The catalyst has a selectivity to lower olefins of up to 60.1%, but the preparation method of the catalyst is cumbersome.


Bruce C. Gates et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1980, 102, 2478-2480.) reported that Co clusters are loaded in a type A molecular sieve cage by reduction with Cd gas and the products are found to be substantially propylene at 151° C. However, the Co cluster in the cage is extremely unstable. As the reaction proceeds, the Co cluster tends to migrate to the outside of the cage, agglomerates and grows, to finally exhibit the performance of a traditional Co-based catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.


The FTO catalysts in the above literatures generally have the disadvantages of low selectivity to olefins and high selectivity to methane. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new FTO catalyst having excellent performance, with which both the high selectivity to olefins and low selectivity to methane can be achieved.

The calcined solid was subject to incipient wetness impregnation at a molar ratio of cobalt source:lithium hydroxide=1:0.1 and dried at 100° C. for 12 hours. Then, the dried solid was calcined for 6 hours at 300° C. The solid was reduced for 8 hours at 400° C. under a 10% CO/Ar atmosphere of 0.8 MPa at a space velocity of 5000 h−1, and then carbonized for 18 hours at 300° C. under a 10% CO/He atmosphere of 0.1 MPa at a space velocity of 10,000 h−1. Reaction was carried out with syngas of H2/CO=2 as a raw gas at 300° C., under 0.1 MPa, and at a space velocity of 2000 h−1. The experimental results are shown in Table 1.


Example 28

1) Cobalt nitrate was fully dissolved in water by stirring at a molar ratio of cobalt nitrate:water=1:40 AM, to obtain a first solution. Potassium carbonate was fully dissolved in water by stirring at a molar ratio of potassium carbonate:water=1:30, to obtain a second solution. 2) Alumina was stirred uniformly in water according to a weight ratio of alumina:cobalt:water=1:0.5:500. Both the first solution and the second solution obtained in Step 1) were added dropwise to the solution obtained in Step 2) at a precipitation temperature of 90° C. and pH controlled to 9. After addition, it was crystallized at a temperature of 200° C. for 48 hours, and centrifuged. The obtained solid product was dried at 80° C. for 48 hours, and the dried solid was calcined at 330° C. for 1 hour. The solid was reduced for 8 hours at 400° C. under a 10% CO/Ar atmosphere of 0.1 MPa at a space velocity of 8000 h−1, and then carbonized for 24 hours at 300° C. under a 10% CO/He atmosphere of 10 MPa at a space velocity of 8000 h−1. Reaction was carried out with syngas of H2/CO=2 as a raw gas at 200° C., under 0.1 MPa, and at a space velocity of 2000 h−1. The experimental results are shown in Table 1.
