摘要:

芳烃, 尤其是苯, 甲苯和二甲苯(BTX)等轻质芳烃, 是现代化学工业中重要的基础原料, 可以用于生产合成橡胶、合成纤维、合成树脂等多种化工产品和精细化学品. 低碳烷烃芳构化是将石油化工和煤化工领域产生的低价值烷烃进行高值化利用的重要途径. 该反应过程的关键在于开发兼具有高活性、高选择性和高稳定性的催化剂. 然而, 烷烃芳构化过程中存在的裂解、氢转移等副反应会导致大量副产物生成; 此外, 催化剂积碳的生成容易造成其快速失活. 这些都是该反应过程面临的主要挑战.

本文设计了一种具有介孔中空结构的ZSM-5分子筛(MH-ZSM-5), 并采用离子交换法, 成功制备了单[Ga(OH)]2+物种负载介孔中空ZSM-5催化剂(Ga-MH-ZSM-5). 该催化剂在低碳烷烃芳构化反应中展现出优异的催化活性、芳烃产物选择性和稳定性. 在600 °C, 质量空速(WHSV)为0.8 h-1条件下, 乙烷芳构化反应28 h内的芳烃平均收率达到~18.4%, 且BTX等轻质芳烃占总芳烃比例高达~96%. 在580 °C, WHSV为1.1 h-1条件下, 丙烷芳构化反应20 h内的芳烃平均收率达到70.8%, 其中BTX占总芳烃比例为~88%. Ga负载量为0.41 wt%时(即Ga-MH-ZSM-5-0.41样品), 丙烷芳构化反应的芳烃生成转化数(TON)高达57479, 在乙烷芳构化过程中, 其芳烃TON值也达到了3845. 本文利用智能重量分析仪(IGA)和二甲苯探针分子红外扩散实验证明了具有介孔中空结构的ZSM-5分子筛其芳烃产物的扩散速率是传统ZSM-5的2.4-3.1倍. 同时, 热重、拉曼光谱以及紫外可见漫反射光谱等实验结果也表明介孔中空结构的ZSM-5分子筛在烷烃芳构化过程中可以显著抑制积碳物质的生成, 从而大幅提高了催化剂寿命. 同步辐射、密度泛函理论计算(DFT)和固体核磁等手段进一步指出了Ga-MH-ZSM-5的催化活性主要依赖于Ga物种的结构. 当Ga负载量≤ 0.3 wt%时, 主要以[Ga(OH)]2+物种为主; 随着Ga负载的增加, 开始形成较多的[Ga(OH)2]+物种和GaOx团簇. 经过H2处理后, [Ga(OH)]2+和[Ga(OH)2]+分别转变为[GaH]2+和[GaH2]+. 这两个镓物种的丙烷脱氢速率分别是H+位点的300倍和15倍. 此外, 本文通过气质联用, 质子转移反应飞行时间质谱及DFT计算揭示了低碳烷烃芳构化的完整反应网络, 低碳烷烃首先在[GaH]2+位点脱氢形成低碳烯烃, 随后在临近的H+位点上发生齐聚, 环化反应形成环戊烷类中间体, 并进一步在H+位点上扩环形成环己烷类中间体, 这些环状中间体最后在[GaH]2+位点上脱氢生成芳烃.

综上, 本文不仅开发出一种具有优异反应性能的低碳烷烃芳构化催化剂, 同时也阐明了分子筛B酸位点与负载的金属Ga物种的协同催化机制. 通过利用多种原位表征技术和理论计算手段对不同Ga物种的本征催化活性进行了定量解析. 本工作将为低碳烷烃、烯烃芳构化乃至石脑油芳构化过程的高性能Ga基催化剂的设计和研制提供关键理论依据与参考.

Abstract:

Aromatization of light alkanes is a value-added process in both petrochemical and coal chemical industries. Here, single [Ga(OH)]2+ ion-exchanged mesoporous hollow-structured ZSM-5 (Ga-MH-ZSM-5) material was prepared, and it shows unprecedented catalytic performance in light alkane aromatization, considering activity, product selectivity and catalytic stability. The average aromatics yields in ethane aromatization at 600 °C and WHSV of 0.8 h-1 within 28 h and in propane aromatization at 580 °C and WHSV of 1.1 h-1 within 20 h reach ’18.4% and ’70.8% with benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX) accounting for 96% and ’88% of aromatics, respectively. Ga-MH-ZSM-5-0.41 gave a TON for formation of aromatics (TONaromatics) from propane as high as 57479, whereas the reported catalysts maximally show a TONaromatics of 5514. This also holds true for ethane aromatization; the TONaromatics obtained on Ga-MH-ZSM-5-0.41 was ≥ 3845 in contrast to £ 392 on reported non-noble metal catalysts. The catalytic activity of Ga-MH-ZSM-5 highly depends on Ga species structures. [Ga(OH)]2+ ions are predominant species at Ga loading ≤ 0.3 wt%, while more [Ga(OH)2]+ and GaOx oligomers are formed with increasing Ga content. Upon reduction with H2, [Ga(OH)]2+ and [Ga(OH)2]+ are transformed into [GaH]2+ and [GaH2]+ species, which show a propane dehydrogenation rate of 300 and 15 times of that of Brønsted acid sites respectively. The light alkanes are mainly dehydrogenated into light olefins on [GaH]2+ species, and then, oligomerized and cyclized into (alkyl)cycloalkanes on H+ sites, which is followed by possible ring expansion on H+ and sequential dehydrogenations into aromatics primarily on [GaH]2+.
