Problems solved by technology

[0018] Existing methods suffer from various problems that hinder commercial viability, including: (i) the catalyst does not have the necessary selectivity for ethanol; (ii) the catalyst may be too expensive and / or non-selective for ethanol production and produce Unwanted by-products; (iii) excessive operating temperatures and pressures; and / or (iv) insufficient catalyst life

preparation example Construction

[0120] 1 The preparation of the individual catalysts is described in detail herein. Figures in parentheses indicate the actual component (metal, metal oxide) amount in % by weight.

[0121] 2 Product selectivities (wt %) were calculated from authentic samples corrected by GC analysis.

[0122] 3 Acetic acid conversion (%) was calculated as follows: [HOAc] conversion, %={[HOAc](feed, mmol / min)-[HOAc](effluent, mmol / min) / [HOAc](feed , mmol / min)}*100.

[0123] 4 The main product obtained with this catalyst was diethyl ether (EtOEt) with a selectivity of 96% and a yield of 2646 g / kg / h.

[0124] Compared with KA160 (SiO 2 -5%Al 2 o 3 ) and KA160-CaSiO 3 A clear shift in selectivity to ethanol was observed for the promoted catalyst. See entries 2, 6 and 7 in Table A, although at 84% this catalyst is still less selective than SiO 2 -CaSiO 3 The selectivity observed for the base material, but the conversion of acetic acid remained at 43%, was on SiO 2 -CaSiO 3 Almost tw...

Embodiment 1

[0221] In a tubular reactor made of stainless steel with an internal diameter of 30 mm and capable of being raised to a controlled temperature, 50 ml of the catalyst prepared as described in Catalyst Preparation C above were placed. The total length of the catalyst bed after charging is approximately about 70 mm.

[0222] The feed liquid consists essentially of acetic acid. The reaction feed liquid was evaporated at a temperature of 250° C. and a pressure of 100 psig and flowed for 2500 hr with hydrogen and helium as a carrier gas. -1 The average total gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of the reactor was charged. The feed stream contains from about 6.1% to about 7.3% mole percent acetic acid and from about 54.3% to about 61.5% mole percent hydrogen. A portion of the vapor effluent from the reactor was passed through gas chromatography to analyze the content of the effluent. The selectivity to ethanol was 93.4% at 85% conversion of acetic acid.

Embodiment 2

[0225] The catalyst utilized was 1 wt % platinum and 1 wt % tin on calcium silicate prepared according to the procedure of Example C.

[0226] 2,500hr at a temperature of 250°C and a pressure of 22bar -1 Feedstream of vaporized acetic acid and hydrogen at average gross gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) The procedure given in Example 1 was essentially repeated. A portion of the vapor effluent was passed through gas chromatography to analyze the content of the effluent. The conversion rate of acetic acid is greater than 70%, and the selectivity of ethanol is 99%.

Abstract

A process for selective formation of ethanol from acetic acid includes contacting a feed stream containing acetic acid and hydrogen at an elevated temperature with catalyst comprising platinum and tin on a high surface area silica promoted with calcium metasilicate. Selectivities to ethanol of over 85% are achieved at 280C with catalyst life in the hundreds of hours.

Description

[0001] priority claim [0002] This application claims priority to US Application No. 12 / 588,727, filed October 26, 2009, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. field of invention [0003] The present invention generally relates to tuneable catalysts for the hydrogenation of carboxylic acids, particularly acetic acid, and a flexible process for the dehydrogenation of acetic acid wherein the ratio of ethanol relative to ethyl acetate and acetaldehyde can be varied with the various catalysts to suit changing business conditions. More specifically, the present invention relates to catalysts for the gas phase hydrogenation of carboxylic acids, especially acetic acid, to produce various products including the corresponding alcohols, esters and aldehydes, especially ethanol. The catalysts exhibit excellent activity and selectivity across the product range. Background technique [0004] There is a long felt need for an economically viable process for convertin...
