Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tetramethylpiperidone technology, specifically relating to a production process of tetramethylpiperidone and a method for preparing its catalyst. Background Technology

[0002] Tetramethylpiperidinone, also known as 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinone, has a rigid piperidine ring and hindered amine groups in its molecular structure. In the fine chemical industry, tetramethylpiperidinone is a core intermediate for the synthesis of hindered amine light stabilizers. Hindered amine light stabilizers, as highly efficient polymer anti-aging additives, can effectively prevent the degradation of polymer materials under the influence of environmental factors such as light, oxygen, and heat, significantly extending the service life of polymer products such as plastics, rubber, coatings, and fibers. They are widely used in industries such as plastic products and building materials. In the pharmaceutical field, tetramethylpiperidinone can be used as an intermediate for the synthesis of various drugs. Its piperidine ring structure can be modified to introduce different functional groups, thereby synthesizing drug molecules with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral biological activities. In the field of organic synthesis, tetramethylpiperidinone can act as a catalyst or ligand to participate in various organic reactions, such as oxidation, reduction, and addition reactions, promoting the efficient synthesis of complex organic compounds.

[0003] Currently, the industrial production of tetramethylpiperidone usually uses acetone and ammonia as raw materials. However, the direct reactivity of acetone and ammonia is very low. Even under high temperature and pressure, the main products are simple intermediates such as imine and enamine. It is difficult to efficiently and directionally carry out multi-molecular continuous condensation, cyclization and dehydration reactions, which makes it impossible to form the complex tetramethylpiperidone ring in the end. Therefore, catalysts that can activate reactant molecules are particularly important.

[0004] Catalysts mainly activate the carbonyl group of acetone by providing suitable acidic sites, promote the dehydration step, and lower the reaction energy barrier at each step, enabling the reaction to proceed efficiently under milder conditions. Existing technologies for catalyst preparation generally employ impregnation, mechanical blending, and co-precipitation methods. Among them, the impregnation method involves impregnating the surface of a support with a metal salt solution, followed by drying and calcination to obtain a catalyst. However, this method has poor controllability, the metal particles are prone to agglomeration during the preparation process, the interaction between the metal particles and the support is weak, the catalytic activity is unstable, and the active components are easily lost. Under the high temperature conditions of the reaction, they are prone to volatilization and migration, which leads to rapid decay of the catalyst's acidity and severely shortens the catalyst's lifespan. Mechanical blending involves directly physically grinding and mixing metal oxides and supports, followed by molding and calcination. Its drawback is that the active components and supports are only in physical contact, resulting in uneven mixing of catalyst components and poor homogeneity. This reduces the effective catalytic active centers, leading to low selectivity of the target reaction and easy generation of byproducts. The coprecipitation method involves mixing a metal salt solution containing catalytically active components (such as aluminum or silicon) with a precipitant (such as ammonia or ammonium carbonate) to generate hydroxide or carbonate precipitates, which are then dried and calcined to obtain an oxide catalyst. However, the catalysts obtained by this method have poor stability and short catalytic lifespan.

[0005] It is evident that in the existing production process of tetramethylpiperidinone, the catalyst has low catalytic activity, weak bonding between the active component and the support, poor catalyst stability, poor product yield and purity, and short catalytic life. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a production process for tetramethylpiperidinone and a method for preparing its catalyst. The catalyst exhibits high catalytic activity, strong bonding between the active component and the support, excellent stability, long catalytic lifetime, and high yield and purity of tetramethylpiperidinone.

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A process for producing tetramethylpiperidinone involves loading a catalyst into a fixed-bed packed tubular reactor with a diameter of 60-80 mm and a length of 2.5-3.0 m. The catalyst is then packed into the reactor tubes to a height of 1.8-2.0 m. Acetone is preheated to 120-130°C for vaporization, and liquid ammonia is heated to 84-88°C via a vaporizer for vaporization. The molar ratio of liquid ammonia to acetone is 3-5:1. After vaporization, the liquid ammonia and vaporized acetone are mixed, and nitrogen gas is introduced to control the volume fraction of acetone at 10-15%, resulting in a mixed feedstock. This mixed feedstock is then subjected to a process involving 0.7-1.0 h... -1 The catalyst is introduced into a fixed-bed tubular reactor, and the reaction temperature is controlled at 270-290℃ and the reaction pressure is 0.5-0.7MPa. The reaction product is collected by condensation and purified to obtain tetramethylpiperidinone. The catalyst preparation method includes the steps of preparing composite sol, preparing catalyst precursor powder, post-treatment and calcination. The steps for preparing the composite sol are as follows: aluminum isopropoxide is added to anhydrous ethanol, the temperature is raised to 58-62℃, deionized water and concentrated nitric acid solution are added, stirring is continued for 1.6-2.0h, tetraethyl orthosilicate solution is added, the temperature is raised to 64-68℃, and ultrasonic dispersion is performed with an ultrasonic power of 150W, an ultrasonic frequency of 32-38kHz, and an ultrasonic time of 1.5-2.0h to obtain the composite sol; The mass ratio of aluminum isopropoxide, anhydrous ethanol, deionized water, concentrated nitric acid solution, and tetraethyl orthosilicate solution is 20-24:50-60:7.0-7.5:0.2-0.3:17-23. The concentrated nitric acid solution has a mass concentration of 60-65%; The tetraethyl orthosilicate solution is prepared by stirring tetraethyl orthosilicate and anhydrous ethanol evenly; the mass ratio of tetraethyl orthosilicate to anhydrous ethanol is 7-8:10-15. The steps for preparing the catalyst precursor powder are as follows: Cerium nitrate and zirconium nitrate are added to deionized water, tartaric acid is added, and after stirring evenly, the mixture is added to the composite sol. The addition rate is controlled at 1.5-2.0 g / min, and the stirring speed is controlled at 120-140 rpm. The pH value is 8.8-9.2. After the addition is complete, the temperature is raised to 55-60℃ and kept at that temperature for 4.0 h. The mixture is then naturally cooled to room temperature, washed, and freeze-dried at -43 to -40℃ for 7-8 h. Then, the vacuum degree is controlled at 10-15 Pa, the temperature is raised to 25-27℃, and the mixture is dried for 24-26 h to obtain the catalyst precursor powder. The mass ratio of cerium nitrate, zirconium nitrate, tartaric acid, and composite sol is 6-8:4-5:50:2.0-2.5:95-100. The post-processing steps are as follows: ammonium dihydrogen phosphate is added to deionized water, ammonium molybdate and citric acid are added, and the mixture is stirred evenly to obtain an impregnation solution; catalyst precursor powder is added to the impregnation solution, and the mixture is stirred at 28-32℃ and 300-350rpm for 3.0-3.5h, filtered and dried to obtain calcined powder; The mass ratio of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, deionized water, ammonium molybdate, and citric acid is 4.5-5.0:90:0.3-0.6:3.5-4.0. The mass ratio of the catalyst to the impregnation solution is 10:90-100; The calcination step is as follows: the calcined powder is placed in a muffle furnace for calcination, the temperature is increased to 200-210℃ at a rate of 1.0-1.3℃ / min, and held for 1.5-2.0h; then the temperature is increased to 380-400℃ at a rate of 2.0-2.5℃ / min, and held for 2.0-2.5h; then the temperature is increased to 600-610℃ at a rate of 2.8-3.2℃ / min, and held for 3.8-4.3h; and then cooled to room temperature in the furnace to obtain the catalyst.

[0008] This invention uses acetone and liquid ammonia as reactants. Catalysis by a catalyst leads to a ketone-amine condensation-intramolecular cyclization reaction, yielding tetramethylpiperidinone. Specifically, the catalyst is prepared by first hydrolyzing aluminum isopropoxide, then adding tetraethyl orthosilicate, which, under condensation, forms a composite sol network, providing abundant anchoring sites for subsequent loading of active components. Cerium nitrate and zirconium nitrate are then used as the cerium source and zirconium nitrate as the zirconium source, introducing and fixing cerium and zirconium as active components onto the silica-alumina framework. Tartaric acid acts as a chelating agent, ensuring uniform dispersion of cerium and zirconium ions in the gel. Under alkaline conditions, the tartaric acid complex gradually decomposes, and cerium and zirconium co-precipitate and bond in situ with the composite gel. After aging, the precipitation is more complete and the structure more stable. Combined with freeze-drying, water molecules directly sublimate, avoiding pore collapse and particle aggregation, thus preserving the catalyst's high specific surface area and porous network. The catalyst precursor powder with uniformly dispersed cerium and zirconium active components was obtained. During the impregnation process, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, as an acidity regulator and stabilizer, can form POX bonds with aluminum, silicon, cerium, and zirconium on the support surface after calcination and decomposition, providing stable acidic sites and thus improving the selectivity of tetramethylpiperidone. Ammonium molybdate, as an auxiliary component, can improve the stability of the catalyst after calcination. Citric acid, as a chelating agent and dispersant, ensures the uniformity of impregnation, thereby obtaining the catalyst. The catalyst uses alumina and silica as a composite support, whose porous structure provides channels for reactant diffusion. Zirconia-cerium oxide provides redox capabilities. Combined with the impregnation process of the impregnation solution, uniform dispersion of each component, strong interfacial bonding, and abundant hierarchical channels are achieved, which enhances its resistance to carbon deposition, effectively promotes the reaction, extends the service life of the catalyst, and makes it suitable for continuous production.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has achieved the following beneficial effects: 1. Using the production process of this invention, the yield is 93.2-93.8%, and the purity is 99.54-99.65%; 2.

[0015] Performance testing The purity and yield of tetramethylpiperidone obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 3-1 are as follows:

[0016] The processes of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 3-1 were run continuously for 1200 hours, and the yield and purity of tetramethylpiperidone were tested respectively. The results are as follows:

[0017] Comparative Example 3-1 omits the post-processing steps, lacks the regulation of components such as ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and ammonium molybdate, and lacks the synergistic effect of zirconium, which weakens the stability of the catalyst, resulting in poorer pores and dispersibility, leading to a decrease in the specific surface area of ​​the catalyst, ultimately resulting in an increase in by-products and a decrease in the selectivity of tetramethylpiperidone. As a result, after continuous operation for a long time, the thermal stability of the catalyst is weakened, and the structure is prone to collapse under high temperature conditions, which leads to a significant decrease in product yield and purity.
