As a commercial MTO catalyst, SAPO-34 zeolite exhibits excellent recyclability probably due to its intrinsic good hydrothermal stability. However, the structural dynamic changes of SAPO-34 catalyst induced by hydrocarbon pool (HP) species and the water formed during the MTO conversion as well as its long-term stability after continuous regenerations are rarely investigated and poorly understood. Herein, the dynamic changes of SAPO-34 framework during the MTO conversion were identified by 1D Al, P MAS NMR, and 2D P-Al HETCOR NMR spectroscopy. The breakage of T-O-T bonds in SAPO-34 catalyst during long-term continuous regenerations in the MTO conversion could be efficiently suppressed by pre-coking. The combination of catalyst pre-coking and water co-feeding is established to be an efficient strategy to promote the catalytic efficiency and long-term stability of SAPO-34 catalysts in the commercial MTO processes, also sheds light on the development of other high stable zeolite catalyst in the commercial catalysis.
作为一种商业甲醇制烯烃(MTO)催化剂,SAPO-34沸石表现出优异的可回收性,这可能归因于其固有的良好水热稳定性。然而,关于烃池(HP)物种和MTO转化过程中形成的水引起的SAPO-34催化剂的结构动态变化以及其连续再生后的长期稳定性,很少有人研究且了解甚少。在此,通过一维铝、磷魔角旋转核磁共振(MAS NMR)和二维磷-铝异核相关(HETCOR)核磁共振光谱确定了MTO转化过程中SAPO-34骨架的动态变化。在MTO转化的长期连续再生过程中,通过预焦化可以有效抑制SAPO-34催化剂中T-O-T键的断裂。建立催化剂预焦化和水共进料的组合是提高SAPO-34催化剂在商业MTO工艺中的催化效率和长期稳定性的有效策略,这也为商业催化中其他高稳定性沸石催化剂的开发提供了思路。
