Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a recovery agent for recovering rhodium-phosphine complex catalysts, its preparation method, and its application. Specifically, it relates to a recovery agent for recovering rhodium-phosphine complex catalysts, a method for preparing the recovery agent, a method for recovering rhodium-phosphine complex catalysts using the recovery agent, the recovered catalyst, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Rhodium-phosphine complex catalysts are the most commonly used catalytic systems in carbonyl synthesis reactions, with wide industrial applications, primarily for the preparation of aldehydes and alcohols. Rhodium-phosphine complex catalysts use the rhodium atom as the active center and triphenylphosphine as the ligand. Rhodium, a precious metal, is expensive, and natural resources are relatively scarce; its price has risen significantly and remained high in recent years. Therefore, in hydroformylation applications, multiple repetitions are necessary to reduce production costs.

[0003] The main reasons for rhodium catalyst deactivation are the introduction of poisons and inhibitors. Additionally, with prolonged operating time and increased reaction temperature, rhodium atoms "bridge" to form chelates, leading to deactivation. One class of substances that reduce catalyst activity are inhibitors, such as 2-hexylhexenal and propyldiphenylphosphine. These substances can compete with olefins for coordination, reducing catalyst activity, but they can only form very weak coordination bonds with rhodium, and the coordination can be reversed. Another class of substances that reduce rhodium catalyst activity includes halides (such as HCl) and sulfides (such as H₂S, COS, and CH₃SH). These are poisons that poison rhodium-phosphine complexes. These substances can form strong coordination bonds with rhodium, occupying the rhodium coordination center and preventing the catalyst from reacting with olefins. Because the concentration of rhodium in the reaction is very low, even a small amount of these compounds can completely deactivate the catalyst.

[0004] Existing technologies disclose several methods for recovering and reusing rhodium-phosphine complex catalysts. For example, Japanese Patent JP 56265948 discloses a method for recovering liquid waste catalysts by incineration. In an apparatus for producing 2-ethylhexanol using a rhodium-phosphine complex as a catalyst, a solution containing the rhodium-phosphine catalyst is separated by distillation and then recycled back into the hydroformylation reactor. However, during recycling, the catalyst activity decreases, and high-boiling-point byproducts gradually accumulate. Therefore, a portion of the catalyst solution must be released to remove high-boiling-point substances and regenerate the catalyst. A method for recovering rhodium involves distilling off the aldehyde from the hydroformylation reaction product, concentrating the bottom fraction, and then sending the concentrated solution into a submerged combustion chamber for combustion at 1150°C for 20 hours. The submerged combustion chamber contains 0.3 m³ of fuel. 3 Water is used to absorb combustion gases. Phosphorus in the catalyst is converted into phosphine oxide and recovered in the form of phosphoric acid aqueous solution. Rhodium is left in the water in a suspended state. After filtration, rhodium is obtained with a recovery rate of up to 95%.

[0005] Patent CN111020200B discloses that rhodium-containing waste liquid is mixed with wood chips for initial incineration, followed by a first acid wash and water wash, then a second incineration, acid wash and water wash, alkali wash and water wash, and then reacted with sulfate to obtain a rhodium-containing filtrate. Finally, an active metal is added to replace the rhodium to obtain elemental rhodium.

[0006] Patent CN110760689B discloses that after concentrating rhodium-containing waste liquid, it is incinerated, and then reacted with chlorine gas to obtain rhodium chloride, which is then purified by washing to obtain rhodium chloride or metallic rhodium.

[0007] Although the above methods have different process steps, the essence of incineration remains unchanged. The main disadvantage of incineration is that it is not environmentally friendly. Incineration produces a large amount of waste gas, and subsequent treatment will produce a large amount of acid water or wastewater. In addition, the process is cumbersome and the operation is complicated. Moreover, incineration will cause some rhodium to sublimate and be lost. Overall, this method is difficult to operate, easily causes rhodium loss, and does not have industrialization advantages.

[0008] The combustion method involves mixing spent rhodium catalyst containing organophosphorus ligands with alkaline compounds of Group IA or IIA elements. During combustion, a large number of bubbles are generated, which can easily cause the molten liquid to overflow the container, resulting in rhodium loss. In addition, the combustion temperature of the combustion method is high, and it is easy to ignite when the organic content is high. The smoke will carry away some rhodium. When the rhodium catalyst is converted into a rhodium-soluble salt solution after combustion, the titration with ammonia water to form rhodium hydroxide precipitate can easily cause an excess of amine to form rhodium complexes, resulting in further loss of rhodium. Therefore, the rhodium recovery rate of the combustion method is low.

[0009] In addition to the methods mentioned above, wet recovery methods are also used to recover rhodium from spent catalysts. These wet recovery methods include extraction, precipitation, oxidative distillation, washing, adsorption separation, and chemical activation.

[0010] Japanese Patent JP 492121793 discloses a method for thoroughly separating a mixture of rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst and high-boiling organic distillation residue from high-boiling organic matter or coke-like distillation residue generated by an organic reaction. Selective adsorbents such as carbonates or alkaline earth metal silicates are added to adsorb the old phosphine complex catalyst. Aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, or xylene are used as detergents to thoroughly remove the high-boiling distillation residue. Finally, a polar solvent containing a small amount of phosphine, such as alcohol, ether, tetrahydrofuran, or ethyl acetate, is used to dissolve the rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst from the adsorbent, resulting in a high rhodium recovery rate.

[0011] Patent CN101177306B discloses the use of a mixture of inorganic acid and oxidant to digest a non-catalyst organic solvent to obtain a digestion solution, then neutralizing the digestion solution with alkali to prepare a hydrated rhodium oxide precipitate, dissolving the precipitate with hydrochloric acid to obtain a rhodium chloride solution, removing metal impurity ions such as copper, iron, nickel, calcium and chromium through an ion exchange resin, and then refining by recrystallization to obtain high-purity hydrated rhodium chloride.

[0012] Patent CN103498056B discloses a method of adding reactive metals (magnesium, aluminum, zinc, etc.) to rhodium waste liquid to induce a displacement reaction, thereby displacing rhodium. The excess solid is then dissolved using hydrochloric acid to obtain elemental rhodium. The drawbacks of this method are that not all forms of rhodium can be recovered, resulting in a low rhodium recovery rate. Furthermore, the need for hydrochloric acid dissolution generates waste acid, making industrial-scale application difficult.

[0013] In patent CN111996386B, inorganic acid and oxidant are added to the waste catalyst for acidification and oxidation. Then, a mixture of oxalic acid and formic acid is used to obtain partial precipitation. Sodium sulfide is added to the filtrate to obtain further precipitation. The precipitate is dissolved in aqua regia, and the pH is adjusted to 8-9 to obtain rhodium hydroxide precipitate. This precipitate is then dissolved in acid, and formic acid and hydrogen are used for reduction to obtain rhodium powder. The disadvantages of this method are that it generates a large amount of waste acid solution and wastewater, and the process is relatively cumbersome with a long post-treatment process, which to some extent affects the rhodium recovery rate.

[0014] Patent CN102923796B discloses a method of adding a certain amount of silica solid adsorbent to a waste rhodium catalyst from a carbonyl synthesis reaction, then placing it in a high-temperature furnace for dry distillation and roasting at 550℃ to 650℃. The residue obtained from the dry distillation and roasting is then mixed with 10 to 30 times the weight of the roasting residue in concentrated hydrochloric acid, and sufficient ozone is introduced into the system at a temperature range of 80℃ to 100℃ until no black or gray particles remain. The mixture is then filtered and washed to obtain a crude rhodium chloride solution. The crude rhodium chloride solution is then treated with ion exchange to remove Fe, Ni, Ca, and other ionic impurities, and finally concentrated and dried to obtain hydrated rhodium chloride.

[0015] Existing wet recovery methods suffer from low overall rhodium recovery rates due to factors such as the strong binding affinity between metallic rhodium and organophosphorus ligands, the stability of polynuclear rhodium complexes, the low rhodium concentration in catalysts, and the viscosity of waste liquid. These factors make it difficult for rhodium in the waste liquid to react with precipitants or reducing agents, and it cannot be fully adsorbed by adsorbents.

[0016] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a highly efficient, environmentally friendly, easy-to-operate, and low-energy-consumption rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst recovery agent and recovery method. Summary of the Invention

Chitosan molecules contain a large number of hydroxyl and amino groups, which stably bind with COFs through hydrogen bonds, forming cage-like molecules with a network-like structure, further enhancing the adsorption effect on rhodium ions. Therefore, the recovery agent of this invention is used to recover rhodium-phosphine complex catalysts from waste liquid with a high recovery rate.
