Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a copper-based molecular sieve catalyst, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of catalysis. Background Technology

[0002] Furfuryl alcohol is an important organic chemical raw material, mainly used in the preparation of various furan-type resins (such as furfuryl alcohol resin and type II resin), furfuryl alcohol-urea-formaldehyde resin, phenolic resin, as well as anti-corrosion paints and anti-corrosion films. Plasticizers made from furfuryl alcohol exhibit better cold resistance than butyl and octyl alcohol esters. It is also a good solvent for furan resins, varnishes, and pigments, and is used as rocket fuel. In addition, it is used in the synthetic fiber, rubber, pesticide, and foundry industries.

[0003] Currently, furfural, an important biomass platform compound, is the upstream feedstock for furfuryl alcohol. It is produced via three routes: gas-phase hydrogenation, liquid-phase hydrogenation, and the Cannizaro process (auto-oxidation-reduction). Among these, liquid-phase hydrogenation offers advantages such as mild and easily controllable reaction conditions, good selectivity, and high mass transfer efficiency, making it the most promising process route.

[0004] Because furfural molecules contain both aldehyde and furan ring unsaturated bonds, highly selective hydrogenation is crucial for obtaining high-yield furfuryl alcohol and is also a challenge for large-scale production. Among various metal catalysts with hydrogenation capabilities, copper-based catalysts are not only abundant and inexpensive, but also exhibit unique advantages in the selective hydrogenation of C=O bonds. Xiamen University reported a copper-based catalyst modified with alkali metals through in-situ reduction of formic acid, achieving furfuryl alcohol yields of 80%-99% (CN109731596). China University of Petroleum (East China) reported a framework copper catalyst combined with an alkali promoter to achieve efficient hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol at relatively low reaction temperatures (120-140℃) (CN 102603681). China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation reported the use of a copper-chromium-calcium-silicon-based high-defect catalyst for the liquid-phase hydrogenation of furfural, exhibiting good activity and selectivity (CN106582671). However, copper-based catalysts still suffer from problems such as low Taman temperatures, easy sintering of copper particles under hot reaction conditions, leading to decreased metal dispersion and shortened catalyst life. Currently, the main methods for stabilizing copper-based catalysts include confinement, alloying, and single-atomization. Among these, molecular sieves, as a silicon-based porous material with a regular nanopore structure, are good confinement supports.

[0005] In summary, it is of great significance to develop a copper-based molecular sieve catalyst with high catalytic activity, good selectivity and good stability for the selective liquid-phase hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol under mild conditions. Summary of the Invention
