This invention relates to the field of
organic synthesis technology, and discloses a
copper-based catalyst, its preparation method, and a method for catalyzing the preparation of cyclododecanol from cyclododecanol into
cyclododecanone. The preparation method of the
copper-based catalyst includes the following steps: preparing a catalyst with a specific surface area of 200-250 m² / g. 2 / g Al2O3-SiO2 composite support;
copper source and
rare earth oxide additives were loaded onto the Al2O3-SiO2 composite support, dried and calcined to obtain catalyst precursor; the catalyst precursor was reduced to prepare Cu + A copper-based catalyst with a
molar ratio of 1.8 to 2.5:1 to elemental copper. This invention can control the Cu content in the copper-based catalyst. + The
molar ratio with elemental copper allows the catalyst's activity state to be adjusted according to different production needs, thereby enabling flexible control of the
reaction rate, improving process adaptability and
operational stability; at the same time, it helps to suppress side reactions and improve the selectivity and purity of
cyclododecanone.
