Cu-m-al catalyst and method for preparing 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol with high trans-occupancy ratio by using the same
The co-precipitation method using Cu-M-Al catalyst solves the problems of high pressure, high temperature, and high hydrogen-ester ratio in existing technologies, and realizes the synthesis of CHDM with a high trans isomer ratio under low temperature and low pressure. This reduces production costs and improves catalyst stability, making it suitable for high-value polyester production.

AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for CHDM synthesis suffer from problems such as high pressure and temperature, high hydrogen-to-ester ratio, and low space velocity, resulting in high energy consumption and increased costs. Furthermore, it is difficult to obtain a high proportion of trans isomers under mild conditions, which limits its application in the production of high-value polyesters.
A Cu-M-Al catalyst was prepared by co-precipitation, using Mn, Zn, or Mg as promoters and Al2O3 as support. By controlling the precipitation and calcination processes, a high specific surface area and dispersion were achieved to catalyze the hydrogenation reaction of dimethyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate under the conditions of low temperature, low pressure, low hydrogen-to-ester ratio, and high space velocity.
Achieving high-yield and high-trans-ratio CHDM synthesis under mild conditions reduces equipment investment and operating costs, improves catalyst stability and lifespan, and is suitable for the production of high-value polyesters.
