Background
The catalyst is the core of petrochemical reactions. In fact, catalyst performance is indistinguishable from the development of catalyst support materials. With the development of petrochemical industry, the components of petroleum raw materials are more and more complex, and the requirement of the industry on petroleum catalytic reaction is higher and higher. With the improvement of national requirement standards, a single conventional carrier cannot meet the requirement of a catalyst with high performance. Therefore, it has become one of the trends of catalyst carrier development that a single carrier is compounded by a chemical physical method to prepare a composite oxide carrier, and the advantages of each component are exerted synergistically.
The silicon-aluminum composite oxide carrier is an industrially important catalyst carrier material, and has the advantages of large specific surface area, large pore volume, high mechanical stability, high thermal stability, surface acidity and the like. Therefore, the catalyst is widely applied to a plurality of petrochemical catalytic reactions, particularly catalytic cracking, hydrocracking and the like.
At present, the method for preparing the silicon-aluminum composite oxide mainly comprises the following steps: sol-gel method, precipitation method, hydrothermal synthesis method, mixing method, and the like. Although researchers at home and abroad have made a great deal of basic research and have obtained a series of achievements according to the methods. However, due to the complexity of the preparation process, the difficulty in adjusting parameters in the synthesis process, and the like, the prepared composite carrier material is often accompanied with a plurality of problems. For example: the silicon-aluminum material prepared by a precipitation method or a sol-gel method often adsorbs a plurality of impurities on the surface or forms coating of the impurities in the synthesis process because of strong surface adsorbability, so that poisoning of active sites and the like are caused.
Therefore, it has been desired by scientists to prepare a silicon-aluminum carrier material which has a high specific surface area, hierarchical pores, and cross-through pores, has adjustable pore channel property parameters, and simultaneously satisfies a simple preparation method. Vandadan et al successfully synthesized a macroporous amorphous silica-alumina material (publication No. CN104549540A), the synthesized material has uniform distribution of silica and alumina, high content of silica, and large pore volume and specific surface area. Although this material has good cell properties, the process is too complex. On the basis, the silicon-aluminum carrier material with the through large-hole and mesoporous-hole is successfully synthesized in an acetonitrile aqueous solution system by utilizing the phenomenon that metal organic alkoxide is hydrolyzed and condensed under the water-containing condition to generate alcohol molecules, and the alcohol molecules diffuse outwards to form a pore channel. The macropores in the framework can effectively increase the permeability of the catalyst, prevent pore channels from being blocked and prolong the service life of the catalyst. The mesopores can greatly increase the specific surface area of the material, so that the active component can be fully dispersed on the surface of the catalyst carrier, thereby improving the catalytic efficiency. It is worth mentioning that the method is simple, can be synthesized in one step, and is easy for large-scale production.
