Abstract:

PtSn/Al2O3 catalysts with different Pt/Sn molar ratios(3:1, 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3) were prepared by carbonylation-impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by means of nitrogen adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), infrared spectra of pyridine adsorption(Py-IR), and thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis(TG-DTA). The effect of Sn loading on the catalytic properties of PtSn/Al2O3 in the propane dehydrogenation was studied. The results showed that the PtSn/Al2O3 catalyst had high propylene selectivity and catalytic stability. Platinum and tin were mainly in the form of Pt3Sn and PtSn alloys with Pt/Sn ratios of 3:1 and 1:1. With the formation of the alloy, the dehydrogenation performance of the catalyst was improved significantly, and the high temperature sintering of metal particles was effectively suppressed. When the Pt/Sn ratio was 1:2 and 1:3, the metallic Pt was mainly resulted. With the increase of Sn loading, the Lewis acid sites on the catalyst gradually decreased, and the propylene selectivity increased associated with the propane conversion decreased. At the same time, the addition of Sn promoted the migration of carbon deposition from the metal surface to support, and improved the stability of the catalyst.
