Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a method for preparing and applying an Ag metal catalyst supported on a molecular sieve, which belongs to the field of chemical engineering. Background Technology

[0002] 2-Methylpropenol is widely used in the production of polymer monomers, surfactants, synthetic resin additives, and polycarboxylic acid superplasticizers, and is an extremely important fine chemical.

[0003] Currently, there are four methods for producing 2-methylpropenol: 1. Chlor-alkali process, 2. Hydrogen transfer process, 3. Selective hydrogenation process, and 4. Dehydration process. Among these, the chlor-alkali process is the most widely used in actual industrial production. This method first generates isobutylene chloride through a substitution reaction between isobutylene and chlorine, followed by a hydroxyl substitution reaction under a strongly alkaline environment to produce 2-methylpropenol. Relatively speaking, the reaction conditions of this process are quite harsh, and the generation of a large amount of byproduct ether undoubtedly brings certain difficulties to the subsequent separation process. Furthermore, the use of chlorine places higher demands on safety and equipment investment.

[0004] The process of preparing methacrolein using isobutylene, a C4 byproduct from coal and petrochemical industries, as a raw material through oxidation is relatively mature and widely used in industry. This technology has led to the rapid development of processes for preparing methacrolein alcohol from methacrolein. The hydrogen transfer method refers to the transfer of the hydroxyl H atom from a small molecule alcohol to the carbonyl group of methacrolein under the action of a catalyst, generating methacrolein alcohol and the corresponding aldehyde or ketone. US Patent 4731488 reports a method for producing unsaturated alcohols using magnesium oxide as a catalyst and ethanol as a hydrogen donor. Although the conversion rate and selectivity for unsaturated alcohols in this method both exceed 90%, no related industrial reports have been found. Ye et al. (ACS Applied Nano Material, 2020, 3, 12260-12268) investigated the selective hydrogenation activity of Pt / Uio-66 for unsaturated aldehydes. Comparing the hydrogenation results under H2 atmosphere and with isopropanol as the hydrogen donor, they found that isopropanol resulted in higher conversion rates of unsaturated aldehydes and higher selectivity for unsaturated alcohols. Furthermore, the authors found that polar solvents are more favorable for the selectivity of unsaturated alcohols. Under the reaction conditions of isopropanol as a hydrogen donor, 150℃, and 12h, the conversion rate of cinnamaldehyde was 96.7%, and the selectivity of cinnamyl alcohol was 94.6%. Gong et al. (ChemCatChem, 2019, 12, 1019-1024) prepared activated carbon-supported CoOx@Co for the selective hydrogenation of a series of unsaturated aldehydes using an ultrasonic-assisted method and investigated the activity of various alcohols as hydrogen donors. The activity order was as follows: isopropanol > ethanol > 2-butanol > 2-pentanol > methanol. Currently, the two-step process for the production of methylpropenol from isobutylene, jointly developed by the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shandong Yidali Chemical Co., Ltd., has been industrialized. The first step of this process oxidizes isobutylene to methacrolein, and the second step uses a hydrogen transfer method to produce methylpropenol. Chinese patent CN103664526A discloses this technology in detail.

[0005] Compared to the three methods mentioned above, selective hydrogenation is a more efficient and environmentally friendly approach. Although some invention patents (CN102167657B, CN106631691A, CN107056566A) have reported on this method, the use of large amounts of solvents, batch reactors, and high catalyst preparation costs in the process have become prominent issues, which have hindered its practical industrial application.
