Abstract
Catalytic cracking of light olefins (C=4/C=5) can produce high value-added product C=3, meanwhile achieve efficient utilization of C4/C5 resources, which has very important research significance and industrial application value. The main technical problem of catalytic cracking of C=4 is how to obtain high selectivity of olefin products, especially the target product C=3 and to reduce non-olefin by-products, and its core lies in the development of high-efficiency catalysts. At present, the main industrial catalyst is modified ZSM-5. Titanium silicate molecular sieve TS-1 is a high-efficiency catalyst in the liquid phase ammoximation process of industrial cyclohexanone, which shows a typical Brønsted acid property after deactivation. Based on this, the deactivated TS-1 as an efficient catalyst for catalytic cracking of C=4 to produce C=3 was developed, and the result indicated that the deactivated TS-1 after acid treatment and potassium ion (K+) exchange could show the feature of high activity, high selectivity and high stability. Combined with nitric acid treating modification, K+ exchange experiment and the characterization techniques such as UV-Vis (UV-visible spectroscopy), FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectrometer) and NH3-TPD (temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia), it was found that the catalytic cracking active center of deactivated TS-1 is Brønsted acidic silyl hydroxyl group (Si-OH(Ti)) adjacent to the titanium hydroxyl group. The structure of this Brønsted acid site is completely different from the skeleton bridge Brønsted acid site (Si-(OH)-Al) of ZSM-5, meanwhile shows relatively weak acid strength. The unique acid property of Si-OH(Ti) could promote the main reaction path of catalytic cracking of C=4 to produce C=3 and inhibit the side reaction path of hydrogen transfer reaction. The discovery and application of the special Brønsted acid center of the deactivated TS-1 waste catalyst can provide a new idea for resource utilization of solid waste resources of spent catalyst.
