Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of organic chemical industry, in particular, to a method for preparing acid by oxidizing alcohol and aldehyde. BACKGROUND

[0002] Carboxylic acids are important organic compounds, which have a wide range of applications in industry, agriculture, medicine and people's daily life. The oxidation reaction from alcohol to acid is a basic and important chemical reaction in organic chemistry. In the industry and pharmaceutical field, the production of carboxylic acids is often obtained by oxidation method. Therefore, it has good application prospect to find a high-efficiency, low-cost, mild condition, good functional group compatibility and environmentally friendly catalytic oxidation system.

[0003] Traditionally, the synthesis of acid is obtained by using equivalent or excess oxidant to oxidize the corresponding alcohol, such as KMnO4 oxidation, Jone's oxidation and other oxidation methods based on CrO3. The disadvantages of such methods are that the oxidant contains heavy metals, is expensive, pollutes the environment with waste liquid, often requires strong acid, has harsh conditions, requires high equipment, and is not suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0004] Oxygen is a cheap, clean, high atom economy, environmentally friendly oxidant. Air is a more ideal oxidant, without the need for preparation and transportation, and is safer in industrial production. Currently, the method of realizing the oxidation from alcohol to acid with oxygen as the oxidant is very limited, and is concentrated in the field of noble metal catalysis, and the report of air oxidation is even less. For example, the Heyns oxidation catalyzed by Pt developed in the 1940s, however, the expensive price and the characteristics of easy poisoning of Pt limit the application of Heyns oxidation in industrial production; In 2014, the Ag(NHC) / KOH system was used to realize the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to acid with dry air; Davis et al. reported that Au / H2O interface catalyzed ethanol and glycerol to generate acid; Zhang Zehui et al. reported that the supported magnetic Pd nanocatalyst catalyzed the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with oxygen to generate 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid; Buffin et al. reported that under Pd catalysis, alcohols can be oxidized to a mixture of carboxylic acids and esters, and benzyl alcohol can be oxidized to a mixture of aldehyde and acid; In 2015, Li Zhaojun group reported that in the AgO2 / IPr system, aldehyde was oxidized to acid by oxygen. Ag, Au, Ru, Pd and other metal-catalyzed oxidation reactions have also been reported, but the substrate limitation is strong, and most of them need nanotechnology or support to achieve. TEMPO can provide a stable oxygen radical, and plays an important role in the process of catalyzing alcohol to aldehyde or ketone with Fe or Cu (Stahl, S. S.; Ryland, B. L. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 8824-8838; Cao, Q.; Dornan, L. M.; Rogan, L.; Hughes, N. L.; Muldoon, M. J. Chem. Commun., 2014, 50, 4524-4543). However, in such systems, the oxidation of alcohol or aldehyde to acid by oxygen has not been reported. SUMMARY

[0089] This method employs a composite catalytic material comprising a framework heteroatom molecular sieve and a metal element M dispersed within the crystals of the molecular sieve as the catalyst. The molecular sieve of this composite catalytic material possesses a hierarchical porous structure and a large specific surface area, pore volume, and high reactivity with macromolecular substrates. Furthermore, the metal element nanoparticles are uniformly sized and dispersed within the crystals of the hierarchical porous heteroatom framework molecular sieve (e.g., within mesoporous channels). The metal element and heteroatoms within the framework of this composite catalytic material can play a synergistic catalytic role, further enhancing the catalytic activity of the composite catalytic material. Under oxygen-containing conditions, the co-oxidation of aldehydes and the oxidation of alcohols can be coupled to produce acids, thus developing a new acid production process route.

The composite catalytic material of this disclosure has a hierarchical porous structure, which is beneficial for catalyzing reaction substrates of different sizes, especially for catalyzing reactions of macromolecular substrates.

[0121] In one specific embodiment, the composite catalytic material is prepared by a method comprising the following steps:

[0122] S1. Mix the template agent, silicon source, framework heteroatom precursor, water, metal M precursor, nitrogen-containing ligand and silanizing agent to obtain a reaction mixture;

[0123] S2. The reaction mixture is subjected to hydrothermal crystallization treatment to obtain a crystallized product, and the crystallized product is then subjected to calcination treatment.

[0124] The heteroatom element Q in the skeletal heteroatom precursor is selected from one of titanium, boron, zirconium, tin, aluminum, phosphorus and germanium; the silanizing agent contains at least one coordinating group that complexes with the metal element M.

[0125] This disclosure introduces heteroatom precursors into the reaction mixture for molecular sieve synthesis. During crystallization, the heteroatoms primarily enter the molecular sieve framework. The disclosure also introduces a metal element precursor, a nitrogen-containing ligand, and a silanizing agent into the reaction mixture. The nitrogen-containing ligand can complex with metal M ions, thus fixing and dispersing the metal element; the silanizing agent's coordinating groups complex with the metal, also fixing and dispersing the metal element, while the alkyl chain's supporting layer effect expands the pores. This results in the final preparation of a framework heteroatom molecular sieve with a hierarchical porous structure, where metal M oxide nanoparticles can be uniformly dispersed within the mesoporous channels of the hierarchical framework heteroatom molecular sieve.

[0126] The inventors of this disclosure surprisingly discovered in experiments that, compared with the composite catalytic material before calcination, the 2p chromatogram of the metal element M (taking cobalt as an example) in the XPS spectrum of the composite catalytic material obtained after hydrothermal crystallization and calcination showed a higher chromatogram. 3 / 2 The significantly increased electron binding energy indicates an interaction between the metal nanoparticles and the framework heteroatoms (taking titanium as an example) in the composite material obtained after calcination. The inventors investigated the 2p electron binding energy of the metal element M in the composite catalytic material before and after calcination. 3 / 2 The changes in electron binding energy were studied in depth, revealing that T0' (T0' = T3 - T4; T3 is the 2p electron binding energy of the metallic element M in the product obtained by calcining the crystallized product) is... 3 / 2The electron binding energy, T4, is the 2p electron binding energy of the metallic element M in the crystallized product. 3 / 2 The binding energy of electrons is related to the catalytic activity of composite catalytic materials. That is, the interaction between the metal element M and the framework heteroatom Q in the composite catalytic material can further affect the catalytic activity of the composite catalytic material. When T0' is any value between 0.4 and 0.8 eV, the composite catalytic material can obtain high catalytic activity and effectively improve the conversion rate and acid selectivity of aldehydes and alcohols coupled in the aldehyde and alcohol acid production process.

[0127] In a preferred embodiment, the electron binding energy of the metal element M in the product of calcining the crystallized product is denoted as T3.

[0214] The catalysts prepared in the above examples and comparative examples were used to catalyze the oxidation of alcohols. 1 mmol of alcohol (see Table 3 for specific alcohols) was mixed with 0.1 mmol of isobutyraldehyde solvent (the molar ratio of alcohol to aldehyde was 10:1), and then 50 mg of catalyst was contacted in a slurry bed reactor. The contact temperature was 60 °C, the contact time was 6 h, and the oxygen pressure was 0.1 MPa. The results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0215] The distribution of the obtained products was determined using an HP-5 capillary column (30m × 0.25mm) on an Agilent 6890N chromatograph.

[0216] Alcohol conversion rate (%) = (number of moles of alcohol involved in the reaction / number of moles of alcohol added) × 100%.

[0217] Carboxylic acid selectivity (%) = number of moles of carboxylic acid / number of moles of alcohol participating in the reaction × 100%.

[0218] Wherein, the number of moles of alcohol participating in the reaction = the number of moles of alcohol fed into the reaction mixture - the number of moles of alcohol remaining in the reaction mixture.

[0220]

[0221] In this disclosure, the T2 value of the stable oxide aggregate of metal element Co, Co3O4, is 781.25 eV; the T2 value of the stable oxide aggregate of manganese, MnO2, is 642.10 eV; the T2 value of the stable oxide aggregate of metal element copper, CuO, is 933.60 eV; and the T2 value of the stable oxide aggregate of iron, Fe2O3, is 710.80 eV.

[0222] Comparative Example 1

[0223] The oxidation reaction was carried out according to the method of reaction example 1 using catalyst C-1, except that catalyst C-1 was replaced with the noble metal catalyst Au / CeO2, otherwise it was the same as the reaction example using catalyst C-1. The reaction results were: alcohol conversion rate 83.1%; aldehyde conversion rate 85.7%; acid selectivity 96.1%.

[0224] The noble metal catalyst Au / CeO2 was obtained according to the method disclosed in the literature C. April, et al. / Journal of Catalysis, 264 (2009), 44–53.

[0225] Based on the data in Table 3 and the reaction results of Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that compared with the catalysts DC-1 (without pore expansion), DC-2 (with alumina as the support), and DC-3 (with titanium silicate MFI molecular sieve as the support, cobalt is supported by impregnation and calcination, and no silanizing reagent is added during preparation) prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3, and the noble metal catalyst Au / CeO2 used in Comparative Example 1, the composite catalysts C-1 to C-12 prepared in the present disclosure exhibit higher catalytic activity in the oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes to produce acids, resulting in higher conversion rates of alcohols and aldehydes and higher selectivity for carboxylic acids.

[0226] Furthermore, in order to investigate the influence of framework heteroatoms on the XPS binding energy of metal elements in composite catalytic materials, this disclosure takes the catalyst containing cobalt in the preparation examples as an example, and compares the change T0' (T0'=T3-T4) of the XPS binding energy T3 of the composite catalytic material obtained after calcination with the XPS binding energy T4 of the crystallized product before calcination, as shown in Table 4 below.

[0227] Table 4

[0228] Catalyst [T0’ / eV] C-1 0.51 C-5 0.40 C-6 0.57 C-8 0.71 C-10 0.45 C-11 0.42 DC-1 0.01 DC-2 0.03 DC-3 0.04

[0229] According to Table 4 and the test data in Table 3, compared with Comparative Examples 1-3, the T0' obtained by using cobalt as the metal element nanoparticles in Examples 1-11 is 0.4-0.8 eV, which has higher cyclooctene conversion rate, isobutyraldehyde conversion rate and epoxycyclooctene selectivity.

[0230] Reaction Examples 2-4

[0231] The oxidation process for acid production, as described in Example 1, using C-3 as a catalyst and cyclopentanol as the alcohol reactant (aldehyde reactants are listed in Table 5 below), was employed. The reaction effects under different oxidation conditions were tested, and the specific reaction conditions and results are listed in Table 5 below. The catalyst dosage was 50 mg in all cases.

[0233]

[0234] As shown in Table 5, the method provided in this disclosure is applicable to the oxidation reactions of a variety of alcohols and aldehydes (e.g., isovaleraldehyde in reaction example 2), and has a wide range of applications.

[0235] Compared with C-3 as the catalyst in Reaction Example 1, which uses C-3 as the catalyst, Reaction Example 1, with a reaction temperature range of 60-80℃, showed better oxidation reaction effect, higher conversion rate of alcohols and aldehydes, and higher selectivity of carboxylic acids.

[0236] Compared with Reaction Example 1, which used C-3 as the catalyst, Reaction Example 1 had a better oxidation reaction effect with a catalyst-to-alcohol reactant weight ratio in the range of 0.1 to 1, resulting in higher conversion rates of alcohols and aldehydes and higher selectivity of carboxylic acids.
