Background

Styrene is an important basic chemical raw material and is an important monomer for synthetic resins, ion exchange resins, synthetic rubbers and the like. Currently, the annual global styrene yield exceeds two million tons; the demand for styrene is vigorous in China, and about three million tons of styrene are imported in the last decade. Industrially, styrene is mainly generated by ethylbenzene catalytic dehydrogenation, and the ethylbenzene is directly dehydrogenated at high temperature (550 ℃) under oxygen-free conditions by adopting noble metal catalysts (palladium, platinum and the like) or potassium-activated iron oxide as catalysts. The ethylbenzene direct dehydrogenation technology is mature, but the catalyst is very easy to deposit carbon and deactivate, and a large amount of superheated steam needs to be introduced into a reaction system to eliminate the carbon deposit, so that huge energy and environmental pressure are caused. Therefore, the research on the catalyst which can resist carbon deposition and catalyze the ethylbenzene dehydrogenation reaction under anhydrous and lower temperature has great significance.

The use of a carrier represented by nanocarbon has opened up a new chapter on the research of ethylbenzene dehydrogenation catalysts and systems. The nano carbon material has high thermal stability and surface order degree, and has high reaction activity and stability; meanwhile, the pore structure of the nano carbon materials is mainly mesoporous, and the inactivation phenomenon caused by carbon deposition can be effectively avoided. Recently, a highly dispersed metal-doped nitrogen carbon-based (M-N-C) catalyst has been a research focus due to its advantages of high metal utilization rate, high activity and high selectivity, and is applied to a lower temperature carbon-hydrogen bond activation reaction, but the catalytic material is less studied in a high temperature thermal catalytic alkane dehydrogenation reaction. The nitrogen-doped nano carbon is used as a carrier to prepare the high-dispersion metal-doped nitrogen carbon-based (M-N-C) supported catalyst, so that the utilization efficiency of metal can be improved, and the ethylbenzene can be efficiently catalyzed to be directly dehydrogenated. Under the guidance, the design and preparation of the novel dehydrogenation catalyst which is green and renewable and has the carbon deposition resistance or the easy carbon deposition removal function have important fundamental research significance and potential application value. Therefore, the invention takes the nitrogen-doped nano carbon material as the carrier to load the palladium active component to prepare the ethylbenzene dehydrogenation catalyst, and proves that the catalyst has better activity and stability.
