Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a dehydrogenation catalyst and its preparation method, and its application in the synthesis of o-phenylphenol (OPP) from cyclohexanone dimers. Background Technology
[0002] The dehydrogenation of cyclohexanone dimer to o-phenylphenol (OPP) is a dehydrogenation aromatization reaction. Based on domestic and international research, the cyclohexanone dimer dehydrogenation catalysts currently used can be classified into the following types:
[0003] (1) A series of copper-nickel-aluminum-chromium alloy catalysts, which contain at least one metal sulfate or carbonate as an auxiliary agent. Chinese patent CN1371897A discloses a copper-zinc-aluminum and nickel-zinc-copper metal catalyst. Although the initial conversion rate of the dimer is 100% and the selectivity of o-phenylphenol can reach more than 95%, the dehydrogenation conversion rate of the copper-zinc-aluminum catalyst drops from the initial 96% to 62% after 6 hours when reacting at 360℃, indicating poor activity.
[0004] (2) Dehydrogenation catalysts with metals supported on activated carbon. For example, Chinese patent CN1490293A discloses a method for preparing o-phenylphenol by condensation dehydrogenation of cyclohexanone. It uses metals Pt and Pd supported on activated carbon as dimer dehydrogenation catalysts. The selectivity of o-phenylphenol is below 90%, and the activity decreases rapidly, resulting in high cost.
[0005] (3) Catalysts supported on metals using Al2O3 as the catalyst support. On the one hand, such catalyst supports have strong surface acidity, which easily leads to catalytic side reactions, resulting in carbon deposition. Furthermore, the long diffusion path exacerbates coking and carbon buildup on the catalyst. On the other hand, the agglomeration and sintering of active components during the reaction process is also a significant cause of catalyst deactivation. Carbon deposition and sintering deactivation of such catalysts affect catalytic activity, necessitating frequent high-temperature regeneration and increasing energy costs. Currently, these issues are often addressed by adding anti-carbon deposition additives. Most anti-carbon deposition additives are added via solution impregnation: for example, CN106179338B involves first impregnating the alumina support with a noble metal solution, followed by a second impregnation with potassium sulfate, an anti-carbon deposition additive, to obtain a dehydrogenation catalyst with a certain degree of anti-carbon deposition capability; similarly, CN105268459B involves first impregnating the alumina support with the active metal component, followed by impregnation with various carbon deposition additives to obtain a dehydrogenation catalyst. The entire process involves two impregnations, making the preparation process cumbersome. Another approach involves introducing relevant additives during the support preparation process. For example, in CN201711075070.3, magnesium-modified alumina is synthesized by co-precipitating magnesium nitrate and aluminum nitrate in a certain ratio. This magnesium-modified alumina is then further loaded with active components to obtain a dehydrogenation catalyst. However, this method also suffers from a cumbersome preparation process. As with the existing technologies described above, in addition to the cumbersome preparation process, the resulting catalysts still exhibit drawbacks such as poor resistance to carbon deposition and low stability. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexanone dimers to prepare o-phenylphenol (OPP) due to poor catalyst stability and weak resistance to carbon deposition. It provides a dehydrogenation catalyst, its preparation method, and its application in the synthesis of o-phenylphenol (OPP) from cyclohexanone dimers. This dehydrogenation catalyst exhibits advantages such as strong resistance to carbon deposition, excellent stability, and high catalytic activity. Its preparation method is simple and eliminates the need for secondary impregnation aids.

[0161] Example 1
[0162] The alumina supports and dehydrogenation catalysts obtained in Examples 1-17 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were characterized according to the relevant descriptions in Table 1.
[0163] The contents of K, Pt, Pd or Al in the support and dehydrogenation catalyst are obtained by ICP testing, specifically by using an Agilent 5110 inductively coupled plasma emission source, taking an appropriate amount of sample, microwave digesting it into a clear solution, and then measuring the volume.
[0164] The contents of K2O and Al2O3 in the support and dehydrogenation catalyst were determined by XRF testing. Specifically, the XRF was performed using a Panaco Zetium X-ray fluorescence spectrometer with an end-window Rh target tube and a power of 4000W. After the sample and binder were ground and mixed evenly, they were pressed into tablets using a tablet press, and the elements were tested using a full elemental scanning method.
[0165] Pore volume, pore size, and specific surface area were determined using the BET characterization method. The BET was performed using a Micromeritics ASAP2460 pore size and specific surface area analyzer. A certain mass of sample was weighed using a balance with a sensitivity of 0.0001 g and placed in a sample tube. The sample was then treated under vacuum at 300°C for a period of time to remove the original adsorbates on the solid surface. The treated sample was then placed in a cold trap, and N2 was used as the adsorbate for testing. The pore size distribution curve and average pore size of the sample were calculated using the BJH model desorption curve, and the specific surface area of the sample was calculated using the BET equation.
[0166] The alumina supports obtained in Examples 1-17 of this invention are all potassium-modified γ-Al₂O₃ supports; wherein the alumina support contains 80wt%-90wt% γ-Al₂O₃ and 2wt%-7wt% potassium, and has a specific surface area of not less than 200m². 2 / g, pore volume 0.1-0.9cm 3 / g; the prepared catalyst contains 2wt%-7wt% potassium, 44wt%-45wt% Al, 80wt%-90wt% γ-Al2O3, and a Pd / Pt content of 0.3-1wt%, with a specific surface area of 230-245m². 2 / g, pore volume 0.65-0.67m 3 / g, with a pore size of 9-9.5nm. Specific results are shown in Table 1.
[0167] The results are shown in Table 1. All percentages in the table are by mass, and pore size is the average pore size. In Comparative Example 4, the precious metal is Pd, and the others are Pt. The K and K₂O in the carrier originate from trace potassium impurities in the raw materials.

[0170]
[0171] Example 2
[0172] The platinum-containing dehydrogenation catalysts obtained in Examples 1-17 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were used for the dehydrogenation reaction of cyclohexanone dimers. The catalysts were reduced before use.
[0173] Specifically, the dimer dehydrogenation reaction was carried out in a fixed-bed microreactor under atmospheric pressure, using an electric heating mantle as the experimental equipment. The reactor inner diameter was φ = 13 mm. 5 ml of catalyst of a certain mesh size was loaded into the reaction tube, and the catalyst bed was placed in the constant temperature section of the heating furnace. The reactor temperature was 300 °C. Nitrogen was first purged for 30 min at a flow rate of 60 ml / min. Reduction was carried out under pure hydrogen for 3 h at a flow rate of 60 ml / min.
[0174] After reduction, the reactor temperature is lowered to 300℃-400℃, and the hydrogen flow rate is reduced to 2.8 ml / min. A plunger pump introduces the dimer feedstock from the top, with a liquid feed rate of 0.02 ml / min-0.06 ml / min. Gas and liquid feeds occur simultaneously. After passing through the preheating section of the reactor, the dimer enters the catalyst bed. The hydrogen flow rate can be fine-tuned to control the residence time of the reaction liquid in the catalyst bed. At the reactor outlet, the receiving bottle is kept at 65℃ and a separate gas path is used for tail gas treatment. An electric heating tape is wrapped around the discharge end to prevent OPP precipitation and to block the discharge line. After one hour of normal reaction, the sample in the receiving bottle is dissolved in methanol, and a single emission test is performed (sampling is done every hour). The weight of the methanol solution is weighed, and samples are taken for chromatographic analysis. The weights of OPP, dimer, and other byproducts are calculated, and then converted into product selectivity and feedstock conversion rates. After 500 hours of reaction, the catalyst was removed for TGA analysis (TGA was performed using a Netzsch TG 209F3 thermal analyzer to analyze the amount of carbon deposit on the catalyst. The test was conducted in an air atmosphere, with a temperature range of 40℃-800℃ and a heating rate of 10℃ / min). The amount of carbon deposit on the catalyst after 500 hours was measured.
[0175] Table 2 shows the sampling and testing results of the dehydrogenation catalysts obtained in Examples 1-17 and Comparative Examples 1-6 in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexanone dimer to prepare o-phenylphenol (OPP) at 300℃-400℃ for 48 hours after reaction and 500 hours after the reaction endpoint.

[0177]
[0178]
[0179]
[0180] As shown in Table 2, for the examples: In Examples 1-8, during the catalyst preparation and application processes (at the same reaction temperature (e.g., 350°C), reaction time, and feed rate), when all other conditions are the same, at the same impregnation temperature, the higher the vacuum degree of the impregnation pressure, the better the catalytic performance. During the catalyst preparation process, when all other conditions are the same, at the same impregnation pressure, the higher the impregnation temperature, the better the catalytic performance. Examples 9-16 also conform to the above rules.
[0181] Compared with Example 1, Example 17 differs only in the mixing order (in Example 1, other components are mixed first and then mixed with the binder; in Example 17, the additives are dissolved in the binder and then mixed with boehmite). The anti-carbon deposit ability obtained in Example 17 is significantly better.
[0182] Compared with the comparative examples, the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-17 all exhibited superior catalytic performance. Specifically,
[0183] Compared with Comparative Examples 1-2, the catalyst prepared in Example 1 has significantly better dimer conversion, long-term OPP selectivity, and anti-carbon deposition ability than dehydrogenation catalysts prepared by using only macroporous pseudoboehmite or only microporous pseudoboehmite, as well as those prepared by loading noble metals and adding promoters (Comparative Examples 1-2).
[0184] Compared with Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 3 had a lower impregnation pressure of 0 MPa, resulting in a catalyst with poorer catalytic activity.
[0185] Compared with Comparative Examples 1-2 and 5-6, the dehydrogenation catalyst (Comparative Example 1-2) prepared by loading noble metals and adding additives has significantly worse resistance to carbon deposition.
[0186] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 7, with the impregnation pressure set to atmospheric pressure, showed a decrease in the long-term OPP selectivity (reaction time 500h) and a significant reduction in the resistance to carbon deposition.
[0187] The TEM-mapping image of the K element in the Pt-K / γ-Al2O3 dehydrogenation catalyst obtained in Example 1 is shown below. Figure 1 As shown (TEM mapping was performed using a JEOL-2100 transmission electron microscope from Japan). (From...) Figure 1 The bright spots represent elements K. The distribution of elements K indicates that... Figure 1 The uniform distribution of potassium (K) in the catalyst effectively inhibits the formation of carbon deposits, making the catalyst performance more stable. Combined with the TGA (carbon deposit amount) analysis of the catalyst after a period of use, it can also be concluded that the effective dispersion of K effectively inhibits the amount of carbon deposits, prolongs the catalyst life, and improves the catalyst activity. In contrast, after a long period of reaction, the dehydrogenation catalyst with severe carbon deposits in Comparative Example 1 showed decreased stability and significantly reduced catalyst activity.
