This invention discloses a
nitrogen-
phosphorus-
boron-iron co-doped coconut shell
activated carbon carrier, its preparation method, and its application. The method includes the following steps: S1, pulverizing coconut shell
activated carbon and activating it with Ar / steam to obtain pretreated
activated carbon; S2, mixing
chitosan solution and
urea solution, adding
phytic acid, adjusting the pH to 5.5-6.0, and stirring to obtain a
wetting agent; S3, adding the pretreated activated carbon to the
wetting agent, heating, stirring, then filtering, washing, and
vacuum drying to obtain
nitrogen-
phosphorus pre-activated activated carbon; S4, dissolving
ferric ammonium citrate and
sodium citrate in deionized water, adding
ethylene glycol, stirring, then adding the
nitrogen-
phosphorus pre-activated activated carbon, heating, stirring again, then adding a
potassium borohydride mixed solution dropwise, and calcining to obtain a nitrogen-phosphorus-
boron-iron co-doped coconut shell activated carbon carrier. The nitrogen-phosphorus-
boron-iron co-doped coconut shell activated carbon carrier provided by this invention, after loading a
metal catalyst, can solve the common problems of low conversion rate and poor selectivity in nitro hydrogenation reactions.
