Problems solved by technology

[0003] The Chinese invention patent application with the application number 200510027917.1 discloses a preparation method of a catalyst for synthesizing propionic acid by ethanol carbonylation. The catalyst involved is a supported binary non-noble metal catalyst. Raw material conversion rate, and due to the use of non-noble metals, the cost is low, but the catalyst is used in the carbonylation of ethanol, and the yield of the product propionic acid or ethyl propionate is low (34-62%)

Embodiment 1

[0011] Example 1 A catalyst for synthesizing propionic acid by carbonylation of ethanol, consisting of 7.5% nickel, 2% copper, 2% lead and 88.5% activated carbon.

[0012] The catalyst is prepared by the following method:

[0013] (1), pretreatment: take by weighing 50 grams of commercial activated carbon (coconut husks), boil in 250ml deionized water for 4 hours, then dry at 120°C for 12 hours, and then reflux in a 2% nitric acid solution Boil for 3 hours, then dry at 120°C for 12 hours.

[0014] (2) Nickel / activated carbon (Ni / AC) with a nickel loading of 7.5% obtained by impregnation: the pretreated activated carbon (AC) is placed in a water bath at 50°C and vacuumed to eliminate its adsorption The gas reduces the penetration time of the metal solution. Immediately put the activated carbon after vacuuming into the nickel nitrate solution with a mass concentration of 5.6% for immersion for 24 hours, then filter off the excess solution, dry at 80°C for 6 hours, and then dry...

Embodiment 2

[0019] According to the ethanol carbonylation method of the present embodiment, the catalyst for synthesizing propionic acid is composed of: 7.5% nickel, 2% copper, 2% zinc and 88.5% activated carbon (7.5%Ni-2%Cu-2%Zn / AC).

[0020] The preparation of 7.5%Ni-2%Cu-2%Zn / AC is the same as in Example 1.

[0021] 7.5%Ni-2%Cu-2%Zn / AC is applied to the synthesis of propionic acid, the reaction conditions are the same as in Example 1, the ethanol conversion rate obtained is 99.8%, and the total yield of propionic acid and ethyl propionate is 70% .

Embodiment 3

[0023] According to the catalyst composition of the present embodiment: 5%Ni-2%Cu-2%Pb / AC, when it is applied to prepare propionic acid, the conversion rate of ethanol is 98.8%, the total yield of propionic acid and ethyl propionate The rate is 66%.

Abstract

The invention relates to a catalyst for synthesizing propionic acid by an ethanol carbonylation method, which is a ternary composite catalyst loaded on activated carbon and consists of 1 to 20 percent of nickel, 1 to 10 percent of copper, 1 to 10 percent of a third metal M, and the balance being the activated carbon, wherein the third metal M is one of iron, lead, tin, lanthanum and palladium. The catalytic effect of the catalyst is good; and when the catalyst is used for synthesizing the propionic acid, the raw material conversion rate is high, and the yield is high.
