Problems solved by technology

[0014] Due to the reduction of catalyst activity, the above catalytic methods require frequent regeneration of the catalyst and separation of the product
As a result, it is difficult to use the catalyst for a long time, and the catalyst-free method is more economically efficient

preparation example Construction

[0035] Preparation of the present invention The method for preparing gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) comprises reacting 1,4-butanediol in the presence of a non-chromium catalyst containing oxides of Cu and Zr to obtain gamma-butyrolactone.

[0036] More specifically, the method of the present invention for producing γ-butyrolactone comprises reacting 1,4-butanediol in the presence of a binary catalyst (oxides of Cu and Zr) to obtain γ-butyrolactone.

[0037] In the binary catalyst, the element composition Cu:Zr is 1:0.001-80.

[0038] In the first embodiment of the method of the present invention which provides excellent yield and selectivity of γ-butyrolactone and shows prolonged catalyst life, in the presence of a non-chromium catalyst represented by Chemical Formula 1, 1,4- Butanediol reacts (dehydrogenates).

[0090] Preparation of γ-butyrolactone

[0091] First, 11.630g of Cu(NO 3 ) 2 2.5H 2 O, 1.616g of Ce(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O and 8.232g of ZrO(NO 3 ) 2 ·xH 2 O was dissolved in distilled water (500 mL) to prepare a precursor solution, followed by vacuum drying at 70 °C. The dried powder was heat-treated at 500° C. for 4 hours under an air atmosphere to provide a non-chromium catalyst.

[0092] After heat treatment, the catalyst is obtained in oxide form. The obtained catalyst had the following element composition: 30.7% by weight of metallic copper, 5.4% by weight of metallic cerium, and 40.6% by weight of metallic zirconium.

[0093] A non-chromium catalyst (2 g) in the form of the resulting powder was charged into a fixed-bed reactor made of SUS with an inner diameter of 3 / 4 inch. Then, at 4kg / cm 2 The reduction was carried out using hydrogen at a pressure of G and a temperature of 250° C. for 4 hours. After the reduction of the catalyst, the weight hourly space velocit...

Abstract

The invention provides a process for preparing of [gamma]-butyrolactone (GBL) and n-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) from 1,4-butanediol with the existence of a non-chromium catalyst. More specifically, the invention provides a method for preparing GBL with the existence of a non-chromium catalyst in an environmental friendly manner. The preparing process has high cost efficiency and high yield and selectivity. The process can be used for preparing NMP in a highly productive and stable manner. No catalyst is used in the process under a mild condition, and the obtained GBL and methylamine (MMA) aqueous solution are feed to a reactor so that the GBL and MMA aqueous solution are interreacting with each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of gamma-butyrolactone from 1,4-butanediol and the preparation of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) from 1,4-butanediol in the presence of a non-chromium catalyst, more specifically, The present invention provides a process for the environmentally friendly production of gamma-butyrolactone in the presence of a chromium-free, non-chromium catalyst, which is highly cost-effective and requires only low cost, has very high yield and selectivity, and then described method prepares N-methylpyrrolidone stably with high yield, long-term, and this preparation does not use catalyst under mild condition by the gamma-butyrolactone obtained and a monomethylamine (MMA) aqueous solution are supplied to the reactor to allow γ-butyrolactone and monomethylamine to react with each other. Background technique [0002] Many methods for producing γ-butyrolactone, which is used as an intermediate in the production of py...
