Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a preparation method of chemicals, in particular to a preparation method of a supported heterogeneous composite heteropolyacid catalyst and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The social modernization process is generally considered to overlap with the industrialization process. Generally, industrial production improves efficiency and expands capacity, which still cannot do without fossil energy. However, the contradiction between the speed of global industrialization and the accumulation speed of fossil energy in nature is gradually intensified. In addition, fossil energy also introduces a large amount of free carbon compounds into nature, which destroys the carbon cycle of the earth's ecological system and threatens the living environment and quality of human beings. Bio-refining opens up a new path for the balanced development of energy and economy, and the development and use of furan compounds gradually become the research focus in the bio-refining process.

[0003] Among them, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) can form various derivatives due to its multiple functional groups, and therefore is defined as a high-value platform compound together with other 13 compounds. HMF mainly includes 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) and isomer 4-hydroxymethylfurfural (4-HMF), and their structural formulas are as follows:

[0004]

[0005] The typical preparation method of 5-HMF is dehydration of hexose under acidic conditions, and then 5-HMF can be further hydrogenated into biomass fuel 2,5-dimethylfuran (2,5-DMF), oxidized into polymer polyethylene glycol 2,5-furandicarboxylate (2,5-PEF) structural monomer 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (2,5-FDCA) and the like; 4-HMF can be synthesized by glycerol and its derivatives glycerol aldehyde (GLYD) and dihydroxyacetone (DHA). 4-HMF can not only be converted into biomass fuel 2,4-DMF, but also can synthesize drug cantharidin, and 2,4-FDCA formed by oxidation of cantharidin forms 2,4-PEF, which has a special asymmetric structure and increases the amorphous state after annealing, and can form nematic liquid crystal molecules, which provides a new direction for liquid crystal materials and can also consume.

[0006] For the preparation of 4-HMF, the conventional catalysts generally have the disadvantages of poor selectivity and low yield. Although ionic liquids can significantly improve the yield of HMF. However, similar to 5-HMF, it is difficult to recover and purify 4-HMF in ionic liquids and the like, and in addition, ionic liquids generally have the problems of high price, difficult to be reused for many times, and generally high toxicity, which greatly increases the comprehensive cost of subsequent treatment.

[0007] Heteropoly acid is a new type of solid catalyst with adjustable structure, and a typical heteropoly acid includes a central atom (usually a heteroatom) and a coordination atom (usually a transition metal atom), which are combined in space by an oxygen atom bridge to form a polyoxometalate complex, and generally have a stable structure, and can load different molecules and atoms to form new catalysts. A typical heteropoly acid catalyst loads acidic and oxidative molecules or atoms, and can be used as an acid catalytic oxidation catalyst or a bifunctional catalyst, and fully exhibits catalytic activity during the reaction. Due to the special structure and the diversity of atoms contained in the heteropoly acid, the degree of surface charge delocalization is relatively high, and the heteropoly acid not only can exhibit strong Bronsted acidity in a solvent, but also can accept electrons to play a Lewis acid role.

[0008] In addition, due to its solubility in polar solvents and unique reaction field (referred to as "pseudo-liquid phase behavior"), it can be used not only in a homogeneous catalytic system, but also in a heterogeneous catalytic system. In addition, the atom combination of the heteropoly acid is flexible, and the combination of atoms in the heteropoly acid can be adjusted under different conditions and requirements to obtain a target catalytic effect.

[0009] Therefore, according to the above problems, it is of great practical significance to develop a catalyst that can be reused and easily separated for the stable production of 4-HMF, the development of new uses of HMF, and the construction of a biomass-derived industry chain with HMF series products as the core.

[0096] From the above experimental results, it can be seen that the yield of 4-HMF generated by catalyzing glycerol or glycerol derivatives by the method of the present application can reach 46.75% at most.

[0097] Compared with biological catalysis, the present method has lower requirements for reaction conditions. The by-product glycerol or glycerol derivatives generated by traditional chemical and biological refining are catalyzed to generate 4-HMF, which not only meets the 3R principle in circular economy, but also finds a new breakthrough point for carbon cycle in nature.

[0098] In summary, the reaction conditions of the method are easy to achieve, the supported heterogeneous composite heteropolyacid catalyst uses non-noble metal as the catalytic center, further reduces the cost, and has high energy utilization rate; at the same time, a new synthesis method is provided for producing high-value-added 4-HMF.
