Problems solved by technology

They all have their own disadvantages: for example, ordinary alumina has high stability, but has a small specific surface area and less acidic sites on the surface, so the catalytic activity is low, the reaction needs to be carried out at a higher temperature, and the requirements for the reaction equipment are very high. , high cost
Due to the high reactivity of aluminum metal alkoxides, they are sensitive to physical conditions such as water, heat and light, and are not suitable for storage. At the same time, the process of hydrolysis and polycondensation is not easy to control, especially the raw materials of metal alkoxides are expensive, which makes metal alkoxides as The application research on the synthesis of mesoporous alumina from precursors is greatly limited

Embodiment 1

[0024] Weigh 22.076 grams of aluminum nitrate and 15.249 grams of hexamethylenetetramine, add 250 milliliters of deionized water, then stir to dissolve them, and record it as solution A. Weigh 0.429 g of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, add 40 g of n-butanol, stir to dissolve it, and record it as solution B. Mix solution A and solution B in a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined autoclave with a certain volume, and stir for 30 minutes to seal it. Put the reaction kettle into an oil bath, and heat it for 24 hours without stirring, and the reaction temperature is 150°C. After the reaction, the reactor was cooled to room temperature, and vacuum filtered. Then wash with 2 liters of deionized water for 5 times, rinse with 50 milliliters of ethanol, and then transfer to a 60° C. vacuum oven to dry for 12 hours. Put the dried product into a muffle furnace and bake at 550°C for 4 hours to obtain a highly active mesoporous alumina catalyst.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a preparation method of mesoporous alumina catalyst. Aluminium nitrate serves as an aluminum source, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide serves as template agent, hexamine serves as precipitator, and water and n-butyl alcohol serve as solvent, and the mesoporous alumina catalyst is prepared by homogeneous precipitation. The invention has simple preparation technology, and the specific surface area of prepared mesoporous alumina catalyst after being roasted at the temperature of 550 DEG C reaches 287m<2> / g. The mesoporous alumina catalyst is used in the reaction for generating dimethyl ether by dehydration of methanol and has high activity and stability at the temperature of 210-290 DEG C.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a mesoporous alumina catalyst used for dehydrating methanol to produce dimethyl ether. Background technique [0002] Dimethyl ether (molecular formula: CH 3 OCH 3 , Molecular weight: 46) It can be used as insecticide, polishing agent, antirust agent, alkylating agent, solvent, and can also be used as aerosol, hairspray, air freshener and civil fuel. Due to the high cetane number (55-60) of dimethyl ether, good combustion performance, and low exhaust pollution during combustion, dimethyl ether has outstanding advantages as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. At the same time, dimethyl ether is also a very good environment-friendly refrigerant. Compared with traditional chlorofluorocarbons, it does not damage the ozone layer and has a small greenhouse effect coefficient. Therefore, DME is known as the clean energy of the 21st century. [0003] At present, there are two main processes for the prepar...
