The invention discloses a preparation method of a sulfonation catalyst for synthesizing
methacrylonitrile, which comprises the following steps: adding carrier
powder with large specific surface area into a
beaker, and then adding an acid solution into the
beaker; after uniformly stirring, carrying out suction
filtration, washing and
drying to obtain a carrier subjected to acid
pickling treatment; adding the carrier subjected to acid
pickling treatment into a hydrothermal kettle with a
polytetrafluoroethylene lining, adding a sulfonation
reagent and an organic
reagent A, sealing the hydrothermal kettle, putting the hydrothermal kettle into a
drying oven for treatment, and then performing suction
filtration, washing and
drying to obtain a carrier subjected to sulfonation treatment; weighing a
manganese precursor and an auxiliary agent precursor, adding the
manganese precursor and the auxiliary agent precursor into a
beaker, adding an organic
reagent B, magnetically stirring to fully dissolve, adding the sulfonated carrier into the beaker, stirring at
room temperature, filtering, washing, drying, and finally
roasting in a
muffle furnace to obtain the sulfonation catalyst. Carrier vacancies are obtained through acid
pickling,
sulfonic acid groups, active elements and auxiliary elements can be effectively anchored, and the catalyst is good in stability.
