Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a method for preparing 2-methylpropenol from methacrolein, belonging to the field of chemical engineering technology. Background Art

[0002] Unsaturated alcohols are widely used in the production processes of fields such as pesticides, daily chemicals, and food flavoring agents, and are a very important class of chemical intermediates. However, the complex preparation process and harsh production environment limit their yield, and at the same time, it will also lead to a relatively high production price. Taking 2-methylpropenol as an example, 2-methylpropenol is an important intermediate for preparing polymer monomers, surfactants, synthetic resin additives, and polycarboxylic acid superplasticizers. Currently, the methods for preparing 2-methylpropenol industrially can be classified into the chlor-alkali method, hydrogen transfer method, dehydration method, and selective hydrogenation method according to the reaction mechanism. Among them, the chlor-alkali method is the most main method for industrially producing 2-methylpropenol. This method uses isobutene and chlorine as reactants, first generates isobutene chloride, and then undergoes a hydroxyl substitution reaction under alkaline conditions to generate 2-methylpropenol. The biggest drawback of this process is that the reaction conditions are relatively harsh, and the separation of products and the recovery of solvents are relatively difficult. At the same time, a large amount of by-product ethers will be generated during the reaction process, which will further increase the difficulty of separation. More notably, the use of chlorine not only poses higher requirements for the safety of the process, but also increases the investment in equipment. In comparison, selective hydrogenation is a more environmentally friendly process. However, this process is extremely dependent on catalysts. Therefore, developing a catalyst with high activity and high selectivity has become the top priority for improving the production efficiency of this process. For this reason, we have constructed a metal catalyst with surface oxygen defects for the continuous production of 2-methylpropenol under gas-phase conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0078] The Ag catalyst provided by this application is a relatively inexpensive catalyst compared to noble metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, Ru, Rh, and Ir. The unique valence electron structure of metallic Ag makes it have a special carbonyl adsorption configuration, and the fully electron-loaded d orbital reduces the adsorption ability for the C═C bond; by interacting metal nanoparticles with a specially constructed catalyst carrier, the synergistic effect between the active site and the carrier functional site can be constructed, effectively improving the selectivity of unsaturated alcohols; this method improves the currently highly developed liquid-phase hydrogenation method. Through the optimization of the reaction process, gas-phase hydrogenation under solvent-free conditions is realized, which can effectively improve the production efficiency, and at the same time eliminate the industrial pollution and energy consumption generated in the separation process of the solvent and the product, which not only better meets the requirements of environmental protection but also reduces the production cost.
