Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of catalysts, and particularly relates to a reduced catalyst suitable for preparing aniline from gaseous nitrobenzene by hydrogenation and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Aniline is one of the most important dye intermediates in the dye industry, and is mainly used for producing various dyes and dye intermediates, printing and dyeing aniline black cloth, and manufacturing rubber aids. The manufacturing methods of aniline include iron powder reduction method, hydrogenation reduction method, phenol ammonolysis method, and chlorination amination method.
[0003] At present, the fluidized bed nitrobenzene hydrogenation method is the mainstream route for aniline production. The fluidized bed gaseous phase catalytic hydrogenation is usually carried out at 260-280℃ and 0.05-0.1 MPa, and the selectivity of aniline is greater than 99%. This method has good heat transfer condition, avoids local overheating, reduces the occurrence of side reactions, and prolongs the service life of the catalyst. Under normal circumstances, the process for replacing the fluidized bed nitrobenzene hydrogenation catalyst is as follows: after the service period of the catalyst ends, first, the catalyst is stopped and regenerated, then the regenerated catalyst is unloaded to the catalyst storage tank, then the regenerated catalyst in the catalyst storage tank and the fresh catalyst added are blown into the fluidized bed together through compressed air, and finally, after reduction in the bed, the next period of feeding operation can be carried out. In this process, after the catalyst is reduced in the bed each time, there is an induction period of 1-3 days when feeding. During the induction period, the catalyst has more side reactions, and the by-products are in the order of by-product amount as follows: phenol > cyclohexanol > cyclohexanone ≈ cyclohexane ≈ cyclohexylamine, and the total amount is usually 300-2000 ppm. These by-products have a significant impact on the quality of aniline products during the induction period. Therefore, the frequent replacement and regeneration of the catalyst and the long induction period time become the main factors affecting the aniline production in the industrial device.
[0004] CN115532300A provides a copper-based aniline catalyst supported on silica, which can reduce the content of phenol in the crude aniline product to below 20 ppm after 72 hours of operation, and has a longer induction period. CN11930663A provides a method for preparing aniline by gaseous hydrogenation, and Co / Ce is added as an additive in the copper-based silica aniline catalyst. However, the patent does not mention how to solve the problem of the induction period of the catalyst. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the fact that the aniline production device is frequently regenerated and catalyst is added intermittently at present, and after adding catalyst each time, there is a long induction period, the first object of the present application is to provide a reduced state catalyst suitable for preparing aniline from nitrobenzene by gas phase hydrogenation, which has a short induction period, less by-products and high hydrogen reduction resistance. The catalyst is used in the reaction of preparing aniline from nitrobenzene by gas phase hydrogenation, the induction period is less than 3h, the total amount of by-products during the induction period is less than 120ppm, when the induction period is passed and the system is stably operated, the phenol in the aniline product is less than 40ppm, and the cyclohexanol is less than 15ppm; during the reduction process of the catalyst, high concentration hydrogen or pure hydrogen can be tolerated for rapid reduction, without affecting the induction period activity and selectivity, the catalyst can be added in the form of oxidation state into the fluidized bed device being produced, and rapidly reduced in the high concentration hydrogen environment in the bed to be put into use, without affecting the quality of aniline product.
