Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal-based catalysts, and more specifically, to supported molybdenum-based catalysts, particularly a method for preparing a rice husk silica-supported phosphomolybdic acid catalyst. Background Technology

[0002] Silica is a good support for molybdenum-based catalysts. Soluble molybdenum salts can be loaded onto the surface of silica using co-precipitation or impregnation methods, and then dried and calcined to form a supported catalyst. Phosphomolybdic acid is a small-molecule heteropolyacid in which molybdenum is in a high valence state, and it can be used not only as an oxidant but also has certain catalytic activity. Phosphomolybdic acid can also be produced by co-precipitation (Yan Xuemin, Lei Jiaheng, Mi Yuanzhu, et al. Synthesis and catalytic performance of composite mesoporous material phosphomolybdic acid / silica [J]. Modern Chemical Industry, 2009(1):4.) or impregnation (Wang Huanyi, Liu Tao, He Zhanfeng, Wang Dan, Jiang Yi. H3[PMo 12 O 40 Preparation and catalytic performance of nH2O / SiO2 catalyst [J]. Synthetic Chemistry, 2014, 022(001): 97-99, 110.) The catalyst was supported on silica material to obtain an easily recyclable supported catalyst.

[0003] Rice husks contain a unique silicon cell network structure. One method involves treating rice husks with sodium hydroxide to obtain sodium silicate, which is then used as an intermediate to prepare a silica carrier. However, this method destroys the silicon cell network structure. Alternatively, rice husks can be treated with hydrochloric acid, and the silica carrier can be obtained directly after calcination. In this method, the silicon cell network structure is preserved, forming a natural hierarchical pore structure (Liu Houfan, Gan Lu, Li Risheng, et al. Research on a new method for preparing silica from rice husks [J]. Inorganic Salt Industry, 2007, 39(2):3.). This rice husk-based silica carrier, which retains the natural silicon cell structure, loses most of its hydroxyl groups during preparation, resulting in a hydrophobic surface. Its porous structure can adsorb a significant amount of the oil mimicry diethyl phthalate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problem of loading phosphomolybdic acid onto hydrophobic rice husk-based silica supports, the present invention aims to provide a method for preparing a phosphomolybdic acid catalyst supported on rice husk silica.

[0005] The technical solution provided by this invention is: a method for preparing a rice husk silica-supported phosphomolybdic acid catalyst, comprising the following steps:

[0006] (1) Disperse phosphomolybdic acid in an organic solvent.

[0007] (2) The rice husk silica carrier is immersed in the dispersion obtained in step (1).

[0008] (3) Remove the dispersion that has not been absorbed by the rice husk silica.

[0009] (4) Heat and dry the product obtained in step (3) to gradually evaporate the organic solvent.

[0010] (5) Further heat treatment of the product obtained in step (4) to fully combine phosphomolybdic acid and rice husk silica support to obtain a supported phosphomolybdic acid catalyst.

[0011] Preferably, the organic solvent used in step (2) is an aprotic, highly polar solvent, such as ethyl acetate or diethyl phthalate.

[0012] Preferably, the heat treatment temperature in step (5) is 120 degrees Celsius.

[0013] In this invention, the final heat treatment temperature is lower than the decomposition temperature of phosphomolybdic acid. Therefore, in the final supported catalyst, molybdenum mainly exists in the form of phosphomolybdic acid. Phospholybdic acid is bonded to the support silica through hydrogen bonds and intermolecular forces. Under suitable solvent conditions, phosphomolybdic acid can detach from the support and return to the solution.

[0014] Advantages of the invention:

[0015] (1) No additional modification is required for the rice husk-based silica carrier.

[0016] (2) The molybdenum distribution in the obtained catalyst is relatively uniform. Detailed Implementation
