Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of amination reactions, specifically to a catalyst suitable for catalytic amination to prepare organic amines, and its preparation and application. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Amines are very important industrial organic compounds, widely used in various fields, such as solvents, pharmaceutical intermediates, resin raw materials, textile additives, pesticides, rubber stabilizers, corrosion inhibitors, and also in cleaning and plastics processing. The three main methods for preparing amines are the hydroamination of carbonyl compounds, the hydroamination of alcohols, and the hydrogenation of nitrile compounds. For example, the hydroamination of carbonyl compounds involves the reaction of acetone, hydrogen, and ammonia to produce isopropylamine. Examples of the hydroamination of alcohols include the hydrogenation of ethanol and ammonia to produce ethylamine, isopropanol and ammonia to produce isopropylamine, butanol and ammonia to produce butylamine, and hexanediol and ammonia to produce hexanediamine. Examples of the hydrogenation of nitrile compounds include the hydrogenation of acetonitrile to produce ethylamine and the hydrogenation of adiponitrile to produce hexanediamine.

[0047] In the above method for preparing the carrier, if the raw material providing the matrix precursor already contains the required amount of doping element, then only this raw material needs to be used for forming. If the raw material providing the matrix precursor does not contain doping element or the content of doping element is low (insufficient), then additional doping element can be introduced.

[0048] In the above method for preparing the support, a support modifier can be used to provide the dopant element.

The hydrogen can be pure hydrogen or hydrogen diluted with an inert gas, such as a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen. During reduction, the reduction temperature is gradually increased, and the temperature increase should not be too rapid, for example, not exceeding 20°C / hour. The reduction time can be determined by monitoring the production of H2O in the reduction system, that is, when the reduction system no longer produces new H2O, the reduction is ended. Those skilled in the art can select the reduction time accordingly, which will not be described in detail here. For example, at the highest temperature, the reduction time can be 2-5 hours. The reduction can be carried out directly in the reactor, followed by the catalytic reaction. It can also be reduced in a separate reactor, also known as off-reactor reduction. After reduction, before being discharged from the reactor, it can be passivated with a mixture containing oxygen at a temperature of, for example, 10-60°C, particularly 20-40°C.

For example, at the highest temperature, the activation time is, for example, 1-5 h, preferably 2-3 h. It can also be used directly without activation, depending on the degree of oxidation of the active metal components and metal promoters in the catalyst.

[0057] 2) Loading an active metal component and optional metal additives onto the carrier; and

[0058] 3) The material obtained in step 2) is subjected to heat treatment and optional reduction treatment to obtain the catalyst.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the ammonia adsorption capacity of the carrier, as measured by the NH3-TPD method, is 0.3-0.6 mmol / g.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, step 1) of "providing an inorganic porous support containing aluminum and / or silicon" includes sequentially shaping, drying, and calcining a mixture containing dopant elements and a matrix or its precursor to obtain the support. The matrix comprises a first support component and an optional second support component. The first support component is selected from alumina, silicon oxide, molecular sieves, aluminum silicate, or combinations thereof. The second support component is selected from diatomaceous earth, titanium dioxide, or combinations thereof. Preferably, the first support component is alumina. The precursor of the first support component has a specific surface area of ​​250-410 m² / g, preferably 260-400 m² / g, more preferably 260-380 m² / g, and a specific surface area of ​​0.7-1.3 ml / g, preferably 0.7-1.2 ml / g, more preferably 0.8-1.2 ml / g. The dopant is a pseudoboehmite with a pore volume of ml / g; the doping element is selected from metallic elements, non-metallic elements, or combinations thereof, excluding sodium and chlorine; the metallic element is selected from at least one of Group IA, Group IIA, Group VA and lanthanide elements, preferably at least one of calcium, magnesium, potassium, bismuth, strontium, barium and lanthanum; the non-metallic element is selected from at least one of Group IIIA, Group VA, Group VIA and Group VIIA non-metallic elements, preferably at least one of boron, fluorine, phosphorus, sulfur and selenium.

[0061] In a further preferred embodiment, a carrier modifier is used to provide the dopant element. The dopant element and the carrier modifier can be selected as described in the first aspect above, and will not be repeated here. More preferably, the amount of carrier modifier is such that, based on the total weight of the matrix, the content of the dopant element in the resulting carrier is 0.03-6% by weight, preferably 0.05-6% by weight, more preferably 0.08-4% by weight, for example, 0.08-1% by weight (for example, it can be 0.08% by weight, 0.1% by weight, 0.2% by weight, 0.3% by weight, 0.4% by weight, 0.45% by weight, 0.5% by weight, 0.55% by weight, 0.6% by weight, 0.7% by weight, 0.8% by weight, 0.85% by weight, 0.9% by weight, 0.95% by weight, 1% by weight, or any intermediate value of any two of the above values).

[0062] In a further preferred embodiment, the forming method may be selected from kneading, rolling, or sheet forming, etc.

[0063] In a further preferred embodiment, the drying conditions in step 1) include: a temperature of 80-150°C and a time of 6-20 h; and / or the calcination conditions include: a temperature of 500-1100°C and a time of 2-20 h.

[0064] In a further preferred embodiment, step 1) has the features described in the first aspect above for the method of preparing the carrier, which will not be repeated here.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, the loading in step 2) comprises impregnating the carrier with a solution containing a precursor of the active metal component and optionally a metal auxiliary agent, preferably with a pH value in the range of 3.5-5.5. Controlling the pH value of the impregnation solution within the above range can further improve the dispersibility of the active metal component.

[0066] According to this application, impregnation involves immersing the support in a suitable solution containing the active metal component and the metal additive, with the precursor adsorbed and loaded onto the support. Impregnation methods are further subdivided, including dry impregnation, wet impregnation, multiple impregnation, mixed impregnation, and spray impregnation. Dry and wet impregnation refer to the state of the support before impregnation with the active metal component precursor, whether it is dry or pre-wetted with water. Multiple impregnation refers to impregnating a mixed solution of one or more precursor components multiple times, or impregnating different precursor groups in batches. Multiple impregnation requires drying and calcination after each impregnation to "anchor" the impregnated components. Mixed impregnation involves impregnating the active metal component and the precursor used for the metal additive together without a precipitation reaction. Spray impregnation uses a spray gun to spray the impregnation solution onto a continuously rotating support, ensuring the impregnation solution just fills the pore volume of the support to saturation. The catalyst of this application can reasonably select these impregnation methods according to actual conditions.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, the precursors of the active metal component and the metal additive are soluble salts of the corresponding metals, such as nitrates, formates, oxalates, lactates, etc. Water is preferably used as the solvent for forming the metal salt solution of the impregnation carrier; some organic solvents, such as ethanol, can also be used. The metal salt solution impregnation of the carrier can be carried out in any desired order, or it can be carried out continuously with multiple solutions containing one or more metal salts. All or a single impregnation step can be performed in several steps, and the impregnation order can also be changed. The concentration of the solution is selected to load the required amount of metal onto the carrier.

[0068] According to this application, in step 3), the carrier loaded with the active metal component and optional metal additives is subjected to heat treatment, which preferably includes calcination, or a combination of drying and calcination. For example, the heat treatment may include drying the impregnated carrier at 80-150°C, more preferably at 80-120°C. The drying time can be reasonably selected according to the drying temperature, the amount of material to be dried, and the drying equipment, for example, it can be 6-20 hours, such as 8 hours, as long as the moisture content after drying does not affect the subsequent calcination.

[0430] Test Case I-2

[0431] This test example is used to illustrate the method for preparing 1,6-hexanediamine by hydroamylation of 1,6-hexanediol using the catalyst of the Type I embodiment of this application.

[0432] 100 mL of the catalyst prepared in the example was measured and placed in a fixed-bed reactor. It was activated with hydrogen at 220°C for 2 hours, then cooled to 165°C. The system pressure was increased to 8.8 MPa with hydrogen. Ammonia was then metered and fed into the reaction system using a metering pump. After being preheated to 100°C, it entered the upper part of the reactor. 1,6-hexanediol, heated and melted, was fed into the upper part of the reactor using a metering pump. Hydrogen was stably fed in through a gas mass flow meter. The molar ratio of hydrogen:ammonia:1,6-hexanediol was 3:14:1, and the liquid hourly space velocity of 1,6-hexanediol was 0.42 h⁻¹. Catalytic amination reaction was carried out in the reactor at a reaction temperature of 185°C and a reaction pressure of 8.8 MPa. After the reaction stabilized (i.e., after 360 h), the reaction solution was sampled and analyzed. The analysis results are listed in Table I-2.

[0433] The sampling and analysis method is gas chromatography, and calibration is performed by using the correction factor of the prepared standard sample;

[0434] The conversion rate and selectivity are calculated based on the mole content of each component in the reaction solution.

[0435] To calculate the selectivity of cyclohexylimine, replace the molecule in the hexamethylenediamine selectivity formula with the molar content of cyclohexylimine. To calculate the selectivity of aminohexanol, replace the molecule in the hexamethylenediamine selectivity formula with the molar content of aminohexanol. And so on. To calculate the selectivity of the “other” components, replace the molecule in the hexamethylenediamine selectivity formula with the molar content of amine dimer × 2. Amine dimer refers to the dimer of 1,6-hexamethylenediamine (bis(hexamethylenediamine), also known as N-(6-aminohexyl)-1,6-hexamethylenediamine) and the dimer of 1,6-hexamethylenediamine and cyclohexylimine (N-(6-aminohexyl)cyclohexylimine).

[0437] As can be seen from the data in Table I-2, the conversion rate of the catalyst in this application is higher than that of the control catalyst, and the activity is higher, indicating that the catalyst in this application has a faster reaction rate.

[0438] The above catalysts were tested for 360 hours and then removed for characterization. It was found that the specific surface area and pore volume of the catalysts DI-1, DI-2 and DI-3 prepared in the control example were significantly reduced, and the carbon deposition was 11 wt%, 9.1 wt% and 8.9 wt% respectively. However, the specific surface area and pore volume of the catalysts prepared in the present application embodiment did not change significantly, and the carbon deposition was less than 2 wt%.

[0439] Furthermore, when catalysts AI-1 to AI-11 catalyzed the reaction for 1000 h, analysis of the reaction solution revealed no significant changes in conversion rate and selectivity compared to 360 h, i.e., the decrease in conversion rate was no more than 2% and the decrease in selectivity was no more than 1%. However, when DI-1 to DI-3 catalyzed the reaction for 1000 h, both conversion rate and selectivity decreased significantly compared to 360 h, with conversion rates decreasing to 31%, 28%, and 35%, respectively. The selectivity of hexamethylenediamine decreased to 25%, 23%, and 26%, respectively.

[0498] Test Case II-2

[0499] This test example is used to illustrate the method for preparing 1,6-hexanediamine by hydroamylation of 1,6-hexanediol using the catalyst of the Type II embodiment of this application.

[0500] 100 mL of the catalysts prepared in the examples and the control example were respectively placed in a fixed-bed reactor. The catalysts were activated with hydrogen at 220°C for 2 hours, then cooled to 168°C. The system pressure was increased to 9.5 MPa with hydrogen. Ammonia was then metered and fed into the reaction system using a metering pump. After preheating to 155°C, the ammonia was fed into the upper part of the reactor. Melted 1,6-hexanediol was fed into the upper part of the reactor using a metering pump. Hydrogen was steadily fed in using a gas mass flow meter. The molar ratio of hydrogen:ammonia:1,6-hexanediol was 3:8:1, and the liquid hourly space velocity of 1,6-hexanediol was 0.5 h⁻¹. Catalytic amination reaction was carried out in the reactor at a reaction temperature of 200°C and a reaction pressure of 11 MPa. After the reaction stabilized (i.e., after 500 h), the reaction solution was sampled and analyzed. The analysis results are listed in Table II-2.

[0501] The sampling and analysis method is gas chromatography analysis, and calibration is performed by using the correction factor of the prepared standard sample.

[0502] The conversion rate and selectivity are calculated based on the mole content of each component in the reaction solution. The specific calculation method is the same as that in Test Example I-2.

[0504] As can be seen from the data in Table II-2, the catalyst of this application has a higher conversion rate and hexamethylenediamine selectivity, indicating that its catalytic activity has been improved compared with the catalyst of non-this application. At the same time, the selectivity of "other", that is, amines with more than 12 carbons, is lower, which indicates that the catalyst of this application has a lower carbon deposition rate and higher stability.

[0505] Long-term stability experiments of 500 h were conducted on the above-mentioned A-II-3 and D-II-2 catalysts, respectively. BET and XRD tests were performed on the catalysts before and after use (results are shown in Table II-3). The results showed that the specific surface area, pore volume, and active metal grain size of the A-II-3 catalyst remained basically unchanged, while the specific surface area and pore volume of the D-II-2 catalyst decreased to varying degrees, and the active metal grain size increased significantly compared to before the reaction. This indicates that the catalyst of this application has better stability and less carbon deposition.

[0559] Test Case III-2

[0560] This test example is used to illustrate the method for preparing 1,6-hexanediamine by hydroamylation of 1,6-hexanediol using the catalyst of the Type III embodiment of this application.

[0561] 100 mL of the catalysts prepared in the examples and the control example were respectively placed in a fixed-bed reactor. The catalysts were activated with hydrogen at 220°C for 2 hours, then cooled to 168°C. The system pressure was increased to 12 MPa with hydrogen. Ammonia was then metered and fed into the reaction system using a metering pump. After being preheated to 160°C, the ammonia entered the upper part of the reactor. Melted 1,6-hexanediol was fed into the upper part of the reactor using a metering pump. Hydrogen was steadily fed in through a gas mass flow meter. The molar ratio of hydrogen:ammonia:1,6-hexanediol was 3:8:1, and the liquid hourly space velocity of 1,6-hexanediol was 0.6 h⁻¹. Catalytic amination reaction was carried out in the reactor at a reaction temperature of 205°C and a reaction pressure of 13 MPa. After the reaction stabilized (i.e., after 10 h), the reaction solution was sampled and analyzed. The analysis results are listed in Table III-2.

[0562] The sampling and analysis method is gas chromatography analysis, and calibration is performed by using the correction factor of the prepared standard sample.

[0563] The conversion rate and selectivity are calculated based on the mole content of each component in the reaction solution. The specific calculation method is the same as that in Test Example I-2.

[0565] Using the same process conditions, the above-mentioned catalysts were subjected to long-term stability testing over a period of 500 hours. BET and XRD tests were performed on the catalysts before and after application. The results showed that the specific surface area and pore volume of catalysts A-III-1 to A-III-11 remained essentially unchanged before and after application (decreased by no more than 2%), while the specific surface area and pore volume of catalysts D-III-1 to D-III-3 decreased more significantly after application (all exceeding 8%). This indicates that the catalyst of this application has better stability and less carbon deposition.

[0566] Further testing revealed that after 1000 h of use, the conversion rate of catalyst A-III-2 decreased by no more than 5%, and the specific surface area and pore volume decreased by no more than 5%. This demonstrates that the catalyst of this application has a long lifespan.

[0567] Test Case III-3

[0568] This test example is used to illustrate the method of preparing n-propylamine by hydroamylation of n-propanol using the catalyst of the Type III embodiment of this application.

[0569] 100 mL of catalyst A-III-2 prepared in Example III-3 was measured and placed in a fixed-bed reactor. It was activated with hydrogen at 220°C for 2 hours, then cooled to 172°C. The system pressure was increased to 1.5 MPa with hydrogen. Ammonia was then metered and fed into the reaction system using a metering pump. After being preheated to 150°C, it entered the upper part of the reactor. n-Propanol was fed into the upper part of the reactor using a metering pump. Hydrogen was stably fed in through a gas mass flow meter. The molar ratio of hydrogen:ammonia:n-propanol was 3:5:1, and the liquid hourly space velocity of propanol was 0.75 h-1. Catalytic amination reaction was carried out in the reactor at a reaction temperature of 180°C and a reaction pressure of 2 MPa. After the reaction stabilized, the reaction liquid was sampled and analyzed (the analysis conditions and conversion and selectivity calculation methods were similar to those in Test Example III-2). The analysis results are shown in Table III-3.

The catalysts were activated with hydrogen at 220°C for 2 hours, then cooled to 165°C. The system pressure was increased to 11 MPa with hydrogen. Ammonia was then metered and fed into the reaction system using a metering pump. After being preheated to 125°C, the ammonia entered the upper part of the reactor. 1,6-hexanediol, which was heated and melted, was fed into the upper part of the reactor using a metering pump. Hydrogen was stably fed in using a gas mass flow meter. The molar ratio of hydrogen:ammonia:1,6-hexanediol was 2:12:1. The liquid hourly space velocity of 1,6-hexanediol was 0.35 h⁻¹. Catalytic amination reaction was carried out in the reactor at a reaction temperature of 170°C and a reaction pressure of 11 MPa. After 20 h of reaction, the reaction solution was sampled and analyzed. The analysis results are listed in Table IV-2.

[0622] The sampling and analysis method is gas chromatography analysis, and calibration is performed by using the correction factor of the prepared standard sample.

Hydrogen was stably fed in through a gas mass flow meter. The molar ratio of hydrogen:ammonia:n-propanol was 3:6:1, and the liquid hourly space velocity of propanol was 0.5 h-1. Catalytic amination reaction was carried out in the reactor.

[0668] The sampling and analysis method is gas chromatography analysis, and calibration is performed by using the correction factor of the prepared standard sample.

[0669] The conversion rate and selectivity are calculated based on the mole content of each component in the reaction solution. The specific calculation method is the same as that in Test Example I-2.

[0671] As can be seen from the data in the table above, the "other" impurities of catalysts DV-1 and DV-2 are significantly higher than those of other catalysts, and their conversion rates are also much lower.

[0672] After evaluating each catalyst for 196 hours, the catalysts were unloaded for characterization. It was found that the specific surface area and pore volume of catalysts AV-1 to AV-8 did not change significantly, and the amount of carbon deposit was not obvious. However, the specific surface area of ​​catalysts DV-1 and DV-2 decreased by 7% and 9%, respectively, and the pore volume decreased by 7%. The amount of carbon deposit was 5.6 wt% and 6.7 wt%, respectively. This indicates that the catalysts of this application have more stable catalytic performance and can accelerate the reaction rate, reduce carbon deposit, and alleviate pore blockage.

[0673] Test Case V-3

[0674] 100 mL of the prepared catalyst was measured and placed in a fixed-bed reactor. Activation was performed at 220°C for 2 hours using hydrogen, followed by cooling to 168°C. The system pressure was increased to 8 MPa using hydrogen. Ammonia was then metered and fed into the reaction system using a metering pump. After preheating to 150°C, the ammonia entered the upper part of the reactor. A mixture of hexanediol, cycloheximine, and 6-amino-1-hexanol (hexanediol: 50 wt%; cycloheximine: 32 wt%; 6-amino-1-hexanol: 18 wt%) was metered and fed into the upper part of the reactor. Hydrogen was steadily introduced via a gas mass flow meter. The molar ratio of hydrogen to ammonia to the mixture was 3:18:1, and the liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) of the mixture was 0.5 h⁻¹. Catalytic amination was carried out in the reactor at a temperature of 185°C and a pressure of 8 MPa. MPa, after the reaction conditions stabilized for 2 hours, the reaction solution was sampled and analyzed (analysis conditions and conversion and selectivity calculation methods were the same as in test case V-2), and the analysis results are shown in Table V-3.

[0676] As can be seen from the data in the table above, compared with catalysts DV-1 and DV-2, the catalyst of this application can achieve higher hexanediol conversion and hexanediamine selectivity.
