Embodiment 1

[0013] 1.1 Catalyst preparation

[0014] Add 5 g fumed silica gel (Cab-O-Sil) to 10 mL containing 1.57 g AgNO 3 In the aqueous solution, let it stand at room temperature for half an hour, then dry it with infrared lamp under stirring, and then dry it at 120°C for 24 hours. The dried powder was calcined in static air at 350°C for 3 hours, and then reduced with hydrogen at 350°C for 5 hours before use.

[0015] 1.2 Catalytic reaction process

[0016] The reaction was carried out in a fixed-bed straight reaction tube with an inner diameter of 10 mm. The catalyst used was 500 mg of 20 wt% Ag / Cab-O-Sil of 20-40 mesh. Before the reaction, the temperature was raised to 350°C and reduced with hydrogen for 1 hour. When the temperature was lowered to 300°C, it was switched to a mixed gas of air and ethyl lactate. The flow rate of ethyl lactate was 0.6 g / hour, and air:ethyl lactate=15:1. The reaction mixture passed through the catalyst was analyzed online by gas chromatography (the c...

Embodiment 2

[0018] According to the steps and reaction conditions described in Example 1, the Ag / Cab-O-Sil catalyst with a loading capacity of 40 wt% was selected, the reaction conversion rate was 95.0%, and the selectivity was 88.0%.

Embodiment 3

[0020] According to the steps and conditions described in Example 1, the reaction temperature was 260° C., the flow rate of ethyl lactate was 0.4 g / hour, the reaction conversion rate was 81.4%, and the selectivity was 92.7%.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing ethyl pyruvate by gas-phase catalytic oxidation of ethyl lactate, which comprises reacting the mixed gas of ethyl lactate steam and air at 250-300 DEG C in the presence of a silver catalyst supported on silica gel to generate ethyl pyruvate. The method catalyst of the invention is easy to prepare, has high activity and selectivity, and the single-pass conversion rate is as high as 80% or more, and the selectivity is as high as 90% or more.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the catalytic oxidation of ethyl lactate, in particular to the gas-solid heterogeneous catalytic oxidation of ethyl lactate to prepare ethyl pyruvate. 2. Technical Background [0002] Pyruvate is a precursor for the synthesis of L-amino acids [see H.Yamada and H.Kumagai, Pure and Applied Chemistry: IUPAC Bulletin, vol.50, 1989, p.117 and S.Takao et al., J.Ferment.Tech., 62 (1984)329], can also be used as a raw material for the synthesis of cyanoacrylate adhesives. It is also used as a solvent for photoresists in the electronics industry [see Japan Kokai, H4-36752, February6, 1992]. The current production process is the tartaric acid dehydration and decarboxylation method reported in 1881. This method requires an excessive amount of potassium bisulfate as a dehydrating agent, and the yield is about 60%. The price of the main material and the consumption of auxiliary materials are all high, and it can only be intermittent pr...
