Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of catalysts, and in particular to a preparation method and application of a catalyst for synthesizing 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Background Art

[0002] There are one-step hydrogenation and two-step hydrogenation methods for preparing 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol using terephthalic acid as raw material. In the one-step hydrogenation process, the catalyst and the product are difficult to separate and recover, so the relatively mature one in the prior art is the two-step hydrogenation method, that is, first hydrogenating the benzene ring in terephthalic acid to produce 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (CHDA), and then hydrogenating the carboxyl group on 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid to obtain the target product 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. In the second step of hydrogenation, due to the large steric hindrance and weak polarity of the C=O double bond in the carboxyl group, it is very difficult to reduce the carboxyl group to alcohol, which is also a key factor restricting the preparation of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol using PTA as raw material.

[0003] In the prior art, catalysts containing two or more noble metals are used to improve the conversion rate of 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid and the yield of the target product 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol in the above process. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6294703 uses a Ru-Sn-Pt / C catalyst containing two noble metals (Ru and Pt), which is expensive. The Ru-Sn-Pt / C catalyst in U.S. Pat. No. 6294703 needs to be heated at 230°C and H 2 Only when the reaction pressure is 10 MPa can the yield of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol be 91.8%, which places high demands on the reaction conditions. Therefore, an ideal solution is needed. Summary of the invention

[0004] The invention provides a preparation method and application of a catalyst for synthesizing 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Suitable noble metals and non-noble metals are selected to be loaded on a carrier to prepare the catalyst, and the catalytic performance is improved through the synergistic effect of metal-metal oxides. A higher 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid conversion rate (99.5%) and a 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol yield (98.4%) can be obtained at a relatively low temperature (210° C.) and pressure (7 MPa).

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: The method for preparing a catalyst for synthesizing 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol comprises the following steps: (1) adding a carrier, a salt of a noble metal, a salt of a non-noble metal and potassium borohydride to a solvent, dispersing them uniformly, evaporating the solvent and collecting a solid; the molar ratio of the noble metal to the non-noble metal is 1:(0.5-2); the noble metal is one of ruthenium, palladium and platinum, and the non-noble metal is vanadium or rhenium; (2) The solid obtained in step (1) is calcined at 300-500° C. and reduced at 200-400° C. to obtain a catalyst.

If the loading is too high, the metal particles will agglomerate and stack, resulting in a decrease in the utilization rate of effective active components; if the loading is too low, the content of effective active components is low and the activity is poor.

[0012] Preferably, the mass of potassium borohydride is 0.8-3.5 times the sum of the mass of the salt of the noble metal and the mass of the salt of the non-noble metal.

[0013] Preferably, the dispersion is carried out by ultrasonic treatment at 40-60°C for 30-60 minutes. Ultrasonic treatment can increase the specific surface area of ​​the catalyst, better disperse the active components, and reduce the occurrence of agglomeration. The ultrasonic frequency is 15-25kHz and the power is 10-15W.

[0014] Preferably, the solvent is ultrapure water, which is heated to 90° C. and stirred continuously to evaporate the solvent.

[0016] Preferably, the reducing atmosphere is 5 vol% H 2 / N 2 (i.e. 5 vol% H 2 +95vol%N 2 ).

[0022] Preferably, the reaction temperature is 210-220° C., the pressure is 5-7 MPa, and the reaction time is 3-5 hours.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below through specific embodiments.

[0025] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the raw materials and equipment used can be purchased from the market or are commonly used in the art. The methods in the embodiments, unless otherwise specified, are all conventional methods in the art. Unless otherwise specified, parts are all weight parts, temperatures are expressed in ° C or at ambient temperature, and pressures are atmospheric pressure or near atmospheric pressure. There are many variations and combinations of reaction conditions (such as component concentrations, desired solvents, solvent mixtures, temperatures, pressures, and other reaction ranges) and conditions that can be used to optimize the purity and yield of the product obtained by the method, and only reasonable routine experiments will be required to optimize such method conditions.

[0026] Example 1. Preparation of Catalyst for Synthesizing 1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol The following steps are involved: (1) Adding the carrier activated carbon, the salt of the precious metal, the salt of the non-precious metal and potassium borohydride into the ultrapure water solvent, dispersing them uniformly by ultrasonication at 40-60° C. for 30-60 min, heating them to 90° C. and stirring them continuously to evaporate the solvent, and collecting the solid.

[0027] The specific surface area of ​​the carrier activated carbon is 800-1200m 2 / g, with a particle size of 10-24 mesh, and coconut shell activated carbon is further preferred. The carrier activated carbon can be pretreated: the activated carbon is dispersed in a 30-50wt% nitric acid solution, soaked at 80°C for 3 hours, filtered and refluxed with a 5-20wt% sodium hydroxide solution at the same temperature for 3 hours, washed with deionized water to neutrality, and then dried under reduced pressure at 2-8mmHg overnight for standby use.

[0028] The noble metal is one of ruthenium, palladium and platinum, and the non-noble metal is vanadium or rhenium; as a further preference, the noble metal is ruthenium and the non-noble metal is vanadium.

The salt is one or more of carbonate, nitrate, chloride and acetate.

[0029] The molar ratio of noble metal to non-noble metal is preferably 1:(0.5-2). The addition of a small amount of non-noble metal oxide does not significantly improve the dispersion of noble metal particles, while excessive addition of non-noble metal will be enriched on the surface of Ru, blocking the Ru active sites exposed on the surface, thereby reducing the catalytic activity.

[0030] The total loading of precious metals and non-precious metals is 0.5-10wt%, preferably 4-8wt%. If the loading is too high, the metal particles will agglomerate and stack, resulting in a decrease in the utilization rate of effective active components; if the loading is too low, the content of effective active components is low and the activity is poor.

[0031] The mass of potassium borohydride is 0.8-3.5 times the sum of the masses of the salt of the precious metal and the salt of the non-precious metal.

[0032] Ultrasonic treatment can increase the specific surface area of ​​the catalyst, better disperse the active components, and reduce the occurrence of agglomeration. The ultrasonic frequency is 15-25kHz and the power is 10-15W.

[0033] (2) The solid obtained in step (1) was dried at 50-70°C overnight, calcined at 300-500°C for 2-4 hours, and then reduced at 200-400°C for 2-4 hours in a reducing atmosphere of 5 vol% H 2 / N 2 (i.e. 5 vol% H 2 +95vol%N 2 ), to obtain a catalyst.

[0077] Compared with Example 1, the non-noble metal oxide in Comparative Example 3 is V 2 O 3 Replaced by MoO 2 , the CHDA conversion rate decreases because MoO 2 The addition of will induce the Ru particle size to increase. 2 O 3 When Sn is replaced, the CHDM selectivity decreases significantly, which is because the adsorption capacity between Sn and carboxylic acid groups is weaker than that between V and 2 O 3 In Comparative Example 5, the noble metal is replaced by Rh from Ru because Rh-V 2 O 3 The metal-metal oxide synergistic effect between them is lower than that between Ru-V2 O 3 , resulting in a decrease in the catalytic performance of the catalyst. The reason for the decrease in CHDA conversion in Comparative Examples 6 and 7 is that a small amount of non-precious metal oxide V 2 O 3 The addition of V did not significantly improve the dispersion of Ru particles, while the excessive addition of 2 O 3 The Ru is enriched on the surface of Ru, blocking the Ru active sites exposed on the surface, thereby reducing the catalytic activity.

Specifically, the above catalyst is dried and weighed, compared with the amount of catalyst used for the first time, the catalyst loss rate is calculated, and the mass of 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid and ultrapure water is reduced accordingly according to the ratio. After the above substances are added to the autoclave, stirring is started, and then hydrogen is introduced into the autoclave and vented three times to exhaust the air in the autoclave. After completion, the temperature is raised to 210°C, and then hydrogen is introduced until the pressure reaches 7MPa. The reaction is started, and the required hydrogen pressure is maintained until the reaction is completed. The reaction time is 3 hours. After the reaction is completed, the heating is stopped, and after the autoclave is cooled to room temperature, the catalyst in the autoclave is recovered, and then the solution after the reaction is analyzed by liquid chromatography, and the conversion rate of 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid and the selectivity of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol are calculated according to the external standard method.
