Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of industrial catalysis, and particularly relates to a solid superacid catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bisphenol compounds are a class of organic compounds containing two or more phenolic groups. Due to their good optical properties and molding properties, excellent transparency, refractive index, and easy solubility, they are widely used in military, aerospace, electronics, and automotive industries. In modern polymer processing technology, bisphenol compounds are widely used in condensation reactions to prepare polycondensation products. Therefore, the research and development of new bisphenol compounds are of great significance for the development of new synthetic materials.

[0003] Bisphenol compounds are mainly synthesized by Friedel-Crafts alkylation condensation of phenol and ketone or aldehyde compounds under the action of an acidic catalyst. Due to the use of different catalysts, bisphenol compounds can be synthesized by various methods. Currently, the methods for synthesizing bisphenol compounds include concentrated sulfuric acid method, hydrogen chloride method, heteropoly acid method, ionic liquid method, modified ion exchange resin method, and molecular sieve method. Chinese patents CN 102795970B, CN 101735020A, and US 465458A use fluorenone and phenol as raw materials and concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst to synthesize bisphenol fluorene. This method has low reaction temperature, short reaction time, high yield, and simple operation. However, this method is prone to produce by-products, is difficult to stop the reaction in time, and causes serious equipment corrosion. In addition, there are problems such as poor product quality and high energy consumption. Chinese patents CN 1065654A and CN 112341317A use ketone and phenol as raw materials and hydrogen chloride as a catalyst to synthesize bisphenol A and bisphenol fluorene, respectively. This method can achieve a yield of 86.5% within 2h, but it has the problem of equipment corrosion, which does not meet the concept of green chemical industry. Chinese patents CN 1986509A and CN 1291959C use heteropoly acid method to synthesize bisphenol A and bisphenol fluorene, respectively. This method has the problems of poor product quality and high energy consumption. 12 O 40The solid catalyst used in the method can realize solid-liquid separation through general filtration after the reaction is completed, the filtrate is washed with a methanol aqueous solution, organic solvents are recrystallized, and white bisphenol fluorene crystals with high purity can be prepared. However, the reaction time of the method is relatively long, needs 6-15 hours, the product yield is low, the catalyst is expensive, and industrial production is difficult. Chinese patents CN 112574007B, CN 107698429B and CN 104876804B respectively disclose a method for synthesizing bisphenol A, bisphenol fluorene and bisphenol F by taking ketone, aldehyde and phenol as raw materials and taking ionic liquid as a catalyst. The yield of the method is as high as 98.5%, and the yield is as high as 99.6%. However, the preparation process of the ionic liquid is complex, the preparation raw materials are expensive, and the ionic liquid is difficult to separate from the reaction system and difficult to be recycled. Chinese patents CN 1295017C, CN 101003466A and CN 107176904B respectively disclose a method for synthesizing bisphenol A, bisphenol fluorene and bisphenol F by taking ketone, aldehyde and phenol as raw materials and taking cation exchange resin as a catalyst. The product selectivity of the method is only 91.5-95.5%, and more by-products are generated. Chinese patent CN 104086373A discloses a method for catalytically synthesizing bisphenol F by using flaky Al-SBA-15 mesoporous molecular sieve. The yield of the method is as high as 98.8%, but the repeated use performance of the catalyst is not clearly studied, and the molecular sieve has problems of expensive preparation raw materials and complex preparation process.

[0004] In summary, in the production process of bisphenol compounds, there are problems of great corrosion of liquid catalysts on production equipment, difficult recycling and the like; and there are problems of expensive preparation raw materials, complex preparation process and poor repeated use performance of solid catalysts. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new solid catalyst which is pollution-free, has excellent catalytic performance and can be recycled for many times. SUMMARY

After the reaction is complete, sample the resulting liquid and perform liquid chromatography analysis. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0110] Table 4

[0111]

[0112] As shown in Table 4, the total mass ratio of β-mercaptopropionic acid volume to phenol and fluorenone affects the synthesis rate of bisphenol compounds. Among them, when the total mass ratio of β-mercaptopropionic acid volume to phenol and fluorenone is 1mL:160g, the synthesis rate of bisphenol compounds is optimal.
