Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of molecular sieve catalyst preparation, and specifically relates to a ZSM-5 molecular sieve catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof, and more particularly to a method for preparing a ZSM-5 molecular sieve using an alkaline ionic liquid as a template and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cyclohexanol is an important chemical intermediate, primarily used as an intermediate raw material in the production of products such as adipic acid, caprolactam, and nylon. Currently, there are three methods for producing cyclohexanol: cyclohexane oxidation, phenol hydrogenation, and direct cyclohexene hydration. Four main types of catalysts are used in direct cyclohexene hydration: inorganic acids and their salts, acidic oxides, heteropolyacids, and ion exchange resins. Inorganic acid catalysts, such as sulfuric acid, were used earlier. However, this process is energy-intensive, product separation is difficult, and equipment corrosion by sulfuric acid is a risk. Ion exchange resins are widely used in the hydration reaction to produce cyclohexanol due to their strong acidity. Different ion exchange resins provide varying types and strengths of acidic sites, which influence the reaction in different ways. Lin Qingxiang et al. from Zhejiang University investigated the catalytic performance of seven different ion exchange resins. The results showed that the strongly acidic cation exchange resins Amberlyst 36wet, Amberlyst 35wet, and ZGC107 exhibited the highest catalytic activity. Although ion exchange resins solve problems such as product recovery compared to inorganic acid catalysts, their inherent shortcomings of poor thermal stability, easy deactivation, and short life limit their further industrial application.

[0003] In the 1980s, Asahi Kasei Corporation of Japan developed Ru and HZSM-5 catalysts and used them in the hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexene and the hydration of cyclohexene to cyclohexanol. In 1983, they applied for a patent for a cyclohexene hydration process catalyzed by solid acid molecular sieves. Zeolite molecular sieves have been a research focus for olefin hydration catalysts in recent years due to their suitable acidity, high mechanical strength, and excellent thermal stability. Studies have shown that factors such as the crystal size, acidity, and crystallinity of the molecular sieve significantly influence its structure and performance. Zhang et al. studied the cyclohexene hydration process catalyzed by zeolites. Their results showed that a SiO2 / Al2O3 ratio of 30-50 for the ZSM-5 zeolite molecule achieved a cyclohexanol selectivity of 99%, indicating optimal catalytic activity. However, cyclohexene hydration to cyclohexanol is limited by chemical equilibrium, resulting in low cyclohexene conversion per pass (7-10%), and the process suffers from high recycle volumes and energy consumption.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to seek a new type of catalyst to break the chemical balance of the traditional process and improve the conversion rate of cyclohexene hydration to prepare cyclohexanol. Summary of the Invention

Therefore, a highly efficient and highly active hydrogen-type ZSM-5 molecular sieve is obtained, which has higher reaction activity and better conversion rate of cyclohexene.

[0043] 2. The catalyst preparation process is simple and the acid sites of the catalyst are adjustable. The product obtained has good hydrothermal stability, high activity and good effect. It is used in the cyclohexene catalytic reaction with high conversion rate and good selectivity for cyclohexanol. The raw materials used are safe, green and environmentally friendly, low cost, and can be used in industrial production.

[0044] 3. The present invention uses a ZSM-5 molecular sieve catalyst prepared using an alkaline ionic liquid as a template. The catalyst has a high specific surface area and active sites, significantly improving the conversion rate of cyclohexene and the yield of cyclohexanol. This efficient and highly active ZSM-5 molecular sieve is used as a catalyst for the first time in a system for preparing cyclohexanol by hydration of cyclohexene, resulting in a more than 2-fold increase in the conversion rate of cyclohexene and a maintenance of a cyclohexanol selectivity of more than 99.5%. Furthermore, while maintaining the same production process, the production capacity of cyclohexanol is increased by approximately 2-fold, showing broad prospects for application in large-scale industrial production and significant economic, social, and environmental benefits.

[0096] The organic phase was taken for gas chromatography analysis to calculate the cyclohexene conversion and cyclohexanol selectivity.

[0097] Figure 3 This is a gas chromatogram of the cyclohexanol prepared in Comparative Example 1. In the figure, the peak area at a retention time of 2.194 min is 771,126,774; the peak area at a retention time of 2.830 min is 2,976,244; the peak area at a retention time of 7.054 min is 1,032,739; the peak area at a retention time of 8.839 min is 93,559,969; and the peak area at a retention time of 10.544 min is 386,102. The ratio of the sum of the peak areas at retention times of 2.830, 7.054, 8.839, and 10.544 min (97,955,054) to the total peak area (869,081,828) is 11.27% for the conversion of cyclohexene; the ratio of the peak area at retention time of 8.839 min (93,559,969) to the total peak area (1,032,739 + 93,559,969 + 386,102 = 94,978,810) is 98.51% for the selectivity of cyclohexanol.

[0098] The cyclohexene conversion and cyclohexanol selectivity results in Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Table 1 below.
