Abstract

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing ethanol, which comprises the following steps of: 1, preparing oxalic acid diester through coupling reaction of carbon monoxide and nitrite under the catalysis of an alumina-supported palladium catalyst; 2, pre-heating and vaporizing the oxalic acid diester and mixing with hydrogen; carrying out catalytic hydrogenation reaction on the mixed gas on a silicon dioxide-supported copper catalyst, and then cooling and distilling the reaction product to obtain ethanol. The preparation method of the invention realizes over 80% of selectivity and high yield of ethanol, and the gas used in synthesis process can be completely converted through circulation, thereby establishing a good foundation for research on the industry of synthesizing ethanol frombiomass.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and in particular relates to a method for synthesizing ethanol. Background technique [0002] Ethanol, commonly known as alcohol, is a clean fuel. Developing oil substitutes such as fuel alcohol and taking measures to save oil resources are one of the key points of the "Tenth Five-Year Plan". Ethanol gasoline for vehicles is a new type of automobile fuel formed by mixing denatured fuel ethanol and gasoline in a certain proportion. It can effectively improve the performance and quality of oil products, reduce the emission of major pollutants such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons without affecting the driving performance of the car. As a new type of clean fuel, ethanol gasoline is currently the focus of the development of renewable energy in the world, which is in line with my country's energy substitution strategy and the development direction of renewable energy. Ethanol is also a...
