Li含量对Li/MgO丙烷氧化脱氢制烯烃反应催化性能的影响

采用浸渍法制备了不同Li含量的Li/MgO催化剂,并通过TG-DTA、N_2吸附及XRD等手段对其进行了表征;对丙烷在Li/MgO催化剂表面的两种吸附状态所占据的空间体积大小进行了计算,研究了Li含量对其丙烷氧化脱氢制烯烃反应催化性能的影响。结果表明,随着Li/MgO催化剂中Li含量的增加,丙烷转化率与乙烯、甲烷、乙烷和COx的选择性均先增加,在Li物质的量分数为3%时达到最高,然后随Li含量增加而降低,而丙烯选择性则出现相反的变化趋势。丙烷在Li/MgO催化剂上的吸附和反应同时受动力学和热力学两个因素的制约;Li负载量不同,反应活性位Li+O-分散状态也不同,导致产物分布发生变化。活性位分散度高时受热力学因素影响,有利于生成丙烯;活性位分散度低时受吸附动力学影响,更趋向于生成乙烯等其他产物。

Influence of Li loading on the catalytic performance of Li/MgO in the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to olefins

A series of Li/MgO catalysts with different Li loadings were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method and characterized by TG-DTA, N₂ sorption and XRD; two modes for propane adsorption on Li/MgO were considered by calculation with Material Studio and the influence of Li loading on the catalytic performance of Li/MgO in the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to olefins was investigated. The result indicated that with the increase of Li loading, the conversion of propane and the selectivity to C₂H₄, C₂H₆, CH₄, CO_x increases at first, reaches the highest values at a Li loading of 3% and then decreases with further increasing the Li loading, whereas the selectivity to propene changes in an opposite trend. The adsorption and dehydrogenation of propane on Li/MgO surface are controlled by both thermodynamic and kinetic factors, whilst the dispersion of the active Li⁺O^- sites is related to the loading of Li. Over the highly-dispersed active Li⁺O^- sites, the dehydrogenation is thermodynamically controlled, which favors the formation of propene, whereas over the poorly-dispersed Li⁺O^- sites, the reaction is dominated by the kinetic factor, leading to a high selectivity to ethene and other by-products.
