Abstract

Catalysts based on gamma alumina, consisting of gamma alumina stabilised by silica and containing oxides of bivalent or trivalent metals chosen from those of Group 2a and/or Group 8 and/or Group 3b and/or the Lanthanide Series, are disclosed. The catalysts are particularly active in isomerisation reactions.

Description

SPECIFICATION Catalyst based on gamma alumina This invention relates to a catalyst based on gamma alumina, and its method of preparation.
Catalysts based on gamma alumina are known, but they have a too high acidity for certain reactions, and in particular for isomerisation reactions. Moreover, the acidity is increased when the gamma alumina is treated with silica in order to make it thermally stable, for example in accordance with the methods described in US-E-30668, US-A-4013590 and US-A-401 3589. On the other hand, stabilisation by means of silica is necessary in order to make the alumina suitable for high temperature regeneration without it losing its activity.
It has now been surprisingly found possible on the one hand to reduce the acidity of gamma alumina-based catalysts in such a manner as to make them suitable for isomerisation reactions, while on the other hand not reducing their thermal stability characteristics, by incorporating one or more oxides of the metals chosen from those of Group 2a (particularly calcium, strontium, and barium), and/or Group 8 (particularly iron), and/or Group 3b (particularly lanthanum), and/or the Lanthanide Series into the Silica-stabilised gamma alumina composition.
The catalyst based on gamma alumina according to the present invention has the general formula: aAI203.bSiO2 cMexOy where MexOy is the oxide of one or more of the aforesaid metals, and a, b and c are the number of moles of Awl203, SiO2 and MexOy respectively, b and c being related by the relationship: camb + B wherein B has a value greater than or equal to 0.01, and b has a value between 0.020 and 0.250, the ratio (b + c):a being between 0.01:1 and 9.0:1 and m being a number between 0.7 and 0.1.
The Periodic Table referred to herein is that published in "Handbook of Chemistry and Physics", 55th edition, edited by Robert C.
Weast and published by CRC Press, Ohio.
In the specific case of calcium, the moles of CaO are preferably related to the moles of SiO2 by the relationship: moles CaOaO500 (moles SiO2) + 0.030.
In the case of barium, the moles of BaO are preferably related to the moles of SiO2 by the relationship: moles BaOaO.500(moles SiO2) 0.020.
In the case of lanthanum, the moles of La203 are preferably related to the moles of SiO2 by the relationship: moles La2O30.257(moles SiO2) + 0.014.
In the case of iron, the moles of Foe203 are preferably related to the moles of SiO2 by the relationship: moles Fe203aO.290(moles SiO2) + 0.018.
In these four particular cases, the moles of SiO2 and the ratio (b + c):a are as given above.
The catalyst according to the present invention is particularly useful in olefin isomerisation reactions, and in particular in the isomerisation of butene-2 to butene-1, as described and claimed in the British patent application filed by us on the same day as the present application and claiming priority from Italian Patent Application No. 2151 1A/82.
In a preferred procedure for preparing a catalyst according to the invention, gamma alumina stabilised with silica, for example by any one of the procedures described in the aforesaid US Patents, is impregnated with aqueous solution or solutions of salt or salts of metal or metals of Groups 2a and/or Group 8 and/or Group 3b and/or the Lanthanide Series, preferably aqueous solution of nitrate or acetate.
The invention will now be illustrated by the following Examples.
Example I 209 of gamma alumina (surface area 200 m2/g) are treated with 1 5 cc of an alcohol solution containing 0.75 9 of Dynasil A 40 (a 40% solution of ethylene orthosilicate). The mixture is allowed to react for two hours at 50"C. It is then drained off and treated with steam in order to hydrolyse the silanol groups.
It is dried and calcined at 500"C for 4 hours.
The material obtained in this manner, containing 1.5% of SiO2, is impregnated with 1 5 cc of an aqueous solution containing 5.90 g of lanthanum nitrate. The impregnated material is then dried and calcined at 500"C for 4 hours. A material is obtained, constituted by gamma alumina stabilised by 1.5% of SiO2, and containing 10% of La203.
This catalyst is fed into a reactor, in which trans-butene-2 is isomerised by reaction at a temperature of 470"C, at atmospheric pressure and at a weight hour space velocity (WHVS) of 6h - 1 The catalyst is able to produce butene-1 with an isobutene content of orily 140 ppm.
After thermal treatment for 24 hours at 1000"C, the catalyst has a surface area of 11 3 m2/g, and shows no loss of activity after 40 reaction cycles (332 hours in total) and 40 regeneration cycles (152 hours in total). The regeneration is carried out at a temperature of 540"C.
Example 2 Following the method described in Example 1, a catalyst is prepared constituted by 1.5% of SiO2 and 2.5% of CaO on gamma alumina.
The CaO is incorporated into the catalyst using an aqueous solution (15 cc) of calcium nitrate (2.40 g). Drying and calcining is again effected at 500"C for 4 hours.
The catalyst is fed into a reactor where transbutene-2 is isomerised by reaction at a temperature of 470"C, at atmospheric pressure and at a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) at 6h-1. The catalyst is able to produce butene-1 with an isobutene content of only 150 ppm.
After thermal treatment for 24 hours at 1000"C, the catalyst has a surface area of 1 83 m2/g, and shows no loss of activity after 40 reaction cycles (332 hours in total) and 40 regeneration cycles (152 hours in total). Regeneration is effected at a temperature of 540"C.
