Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid-liquid multiphase catalytic reactions, specifically to a highly efficient catalyst for the catalytic oxidation of 1,2-epoxycyclopentane to glutaraldehyde, and a method for using the catalyst to produce glutaraldehyde. Background Technology

[0002] Glutaraldehyde (GA) is a colorless or pale yellow oily liquid with a pungent odor. It is readily soluble in water and ethanol, soluble in benzene, non-flammable, non-volatile, and unstable in air. It can be oxidized by air at room temperature and readily undergoes condensation and polymerization reactions. It is an important saturated straight-chain aliphatic dialdehyde, a crucial fine chemical product and intermediate, and has cross-linking and protein-fixing properties. It is a highly effective and low-toxicity sterilizing agent, an excellent leather tanning agent, a color picture tube hardening agent, and an organic synthesis agent, widely used in biomedical engineering, cellular immunology, biochemistry, leather chemistry, histochemistry, microbial industry, and environmental protection.

[0003] Existing methods for preparing glutaraldehyde mainly include the pyridine method, the pyran method, the pentylene glycol oxidation method, the glutaric acid reduction method, and the cyclopentene oxidation method. The earliest method used for industrial production was the pyridine method. This method involves reducing pyridine to dihydropyridine, then treating it with hydroxylamine to obtain glutaroxime, and finally using sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid to convert glutaroxime to glutaraldehyde. This method achieves a conversion rate of 90%, but the yield is less than 50%. This method has been phased out due to its high raw material consumption, high cost, high pollution, and poor product quality. The pyran method uses acrolein and vinyl ether as raw materials to cyclize 2-ethoxy-3,4-dihydropyran, followed by hydrolysis to open the ring and form glutaraldehyde. This method suffers from high raw material costs, a long process route, and low product yield (e.g., patent CN102066302A). Although the pentylene glycol oxidation method has a short reaction route, it is also difficult to industrialize due to its disadvantages such as difficulty in controlling the oxidation depth, low yield, and high cost caused by raw material shortages. The glutaric acid process utilizes glutaric acid, a byproduct of adipic acid production, as a raw material. Palladium is used as a catalyst, and tert-ammonia is used as an auxiliary agent to reduce glutaric acid to glutaraldehyde, with a yield of 55-88%. Compared to the existing pyran process, this method can reduce costs by 20%, but it currently suffers from a short catalyst lifespan.

[0004] Cyclopentene oxidation is a widely studied and currently the most promising synthetic route. The main routes for the catalytic oxidation of cyclopentene to glutaraldehyde include ozone oxidation, oxide oxidation, cyclopentyl-o-diol oxidation, air oxidation, and hydrogen peroxide oxidation. Among these, hydrogen peroxide is used as the oxidant due to its advantages such as low cost, abundant raw material supply, clean process, short route, and mild conditions, thus showing broad development prospects. The process of cyclopentene oxidation to glutaraldehyde under hydrogen peroxide involves cyclopentene first reacting to form 1,2-epoxycyclopentane, then 1,2-epoxycyclopentane converting to the intermediate β-hydroxycyclopentylhydrogen peroxide, which then rearranges to glutaraldehyde. Currently, the catalysts used in this reaction are typically molybdenum-based compounds, tungsten-based compounds, heteropoly acids, composite metal oxides, and tungsten-based molecular sieve catalysts with the active component loaded onto mesoporous molecular sieves.

[0005] Considering the ease of catalyst separation, the research on tungsten-based supported catalysts and tungsten-based molecular sieve catalysts has received widespread attention from scholars. Chinese patent CN1425498 provides a tungsten-containing catalyst supported on TiO2 microspheres via closed crystallization, achieving glutaraldehyde yields ranging from a high of 69.4% to a low of 60.3%. Chinese patent CN1680032A discloses a method for synthesizing a tungsten-based molecular sieve catalyst for the selective catalytic oxidation of cyclopentene to glutaraldehyde using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. This method involves in-situ introduction of an active tungsten source into a synthesized all-silica mesoporous molecular sieve framework. The yield of the target product, glutaraldehyde, is 56.9-75.1%, and the selectivity is 73.5%-82%. The catalytic effect is generally moderate, and the catalyst activity and selectivity need further improvement. In the preparation of catalyst CN110372483A, the template agent TPABr was added. The highest yield of the target product glutaraldehyde was 87.1%, and the selectivity of glutaraldehyde was 87.1%. Although its catalytic activity was improved, the stability of the catalyst was poor, and the activity of the catalyst decreased significantly after three cycles. Based on the two patents mentioned above, patent CN113813986A continues the method of in-situ introducing an active tungsten source into the all-silica mesoporous molecular sieve framework. Using Pluronic P123 triblock polymer E020P070E020 as a template agent, a catalyst precursor was prepared by low-temperature long-time crystallization (68-74h), thereby obtaining a tungsten-based molecular sieve catalyst. This catalyst is used in the above reaction and has high catalytic activity, with the highest yield of the target product glutaraldehyde reaching 89.1% and a selectivity of 91.2%. However, the catalyst stability is also poor, and the activity of the catalyst decreases significantly after three cycles. At the same time, the use of Pluronic P123 triblock polymer E020P070E020 increases the catalyst cost, making it difficult to achieve industrialization. CN114426468A employs a three-stage experiment using tungsten-based heterogeneous catalysts W-SBA-15 with varying acid strengths (WO3 mass fractions of 20-25%, 15-20%, and 10-15%, respectively). By adjusting the amount of hydrogen peroxide added and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide on the catalyst surface, the reaction process is controlled, improving selectivity. The conversion rate of cyclopentene is greater than 98%, and the yield of glutaraldehyde exceeds 80%. However, this method also suffers from the problems of poor catalyst stability and high cost associated with patent CN113813986A.

[0006] In summary, glutaraldehyde, as an important chemical intermediate and raw material, has always been limited in production due to inefficient process conditions and catalytic methods, resulting in consistently low yields. Developing superior catalysts and optimal preparation methods for glutaraldehyde is of paramount importance for the industrial production of glutaraldehyde and the development of its downstream products.

[0007] To address the problems existing in the current glutaraldehyde preparation systems: 1) Heterogeneous catalysts for the direct catalytic oxidation of cyclopentene to glutaraldehyde generally suffer from poor selectivity, low yield, and poor stability. 2) Reports on the catalytic oxidation of 1,2-epoxycyclopentane to glutaraldehyde are scarce. Based on our research group's years of experience in the catalytic epoxidation of olefins using heterogeneous phase transfer catalysts, this invention provides a catalyst and method for the catalytic oxidation of 1,2-epoxycyclopentane, a product of olefin epoxidation, to glutaraldehyde, in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this invention provides a tungsten-bismuth composite oxide catalyst for the catalytic oxidation of 1,2-epoxycyclopentane (a product of cyclopentene catalytic oxidation) to glutaraldehyde, and a method for using this catalyst in the production of glutaraldehyde. The catalyst of this invention exhibits good stability, maintaining high mechanical strength and chemical stability even during prolonged reactions. It also boasts advantages such as simple preparation method, low raw material cost, and easy scalability. When used in the catalytic oxidation of 1,2-epoxycyclopentane to glutaraldehyde, the catalyst demonstrates high conversion of 1,2-epoxycyclopentane, good selectivity and yield of glutaraldehyde, good catalyst stability, and easy separation, exhibiting significant industrial application value.

[0009] This tungsten-bismuth composite oxide catalyst has the following advantages:

[0010] (1) The catalyst preparation process does not require the addition of surfactants (TPABr or Pluronic P123 triblock polymer), low-temperature long-term crystallization process, or expensive tetraethyl orthosilicate silicon source. The catalyst has low cost and simple preparation process.

[0011] (2) Used in the catalytic oxidation of 1,2-epoxycyclopentane to prepare glutaraldehyde, the conversion rate of 1,2-epoxycyclopentane is >94%, and the selectivity of glutaraldehyde is the highest at 96%.

[0012] (3) The molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide to 1,2-epoxycyclopentane is 1-1.5, preferably 1.1-1.3. This avoids the product separation problems caused by excessive use of hydrogen peroxide. (For example, although the yield of glutaraldehyde in CN113813986A is the highest at 89.1%, the molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide to cyclopentene in its catalytic system is 2:1. An explosion occurred during the separation process of excess hydrogen peroxide, so 1 equivalent of calcium hydroxide needs to be added in the post-treatment to remove the hydrogen peroxide.)

[0013] (4) The obtained tungsten-bismuth composite oxide catalyst has good stability. After being recycled 10 times, the catalyst activity and selectivity remain basically unchanged.

[0073] 0.25 g of the tungsten-bismuth composite oxide catalyst B from Example 2 was added to a 150 mL three-necked flask, followed by 40 mL of tert-butanol solvent. The mixture was stirred until homogeneous, and then 10 g of 1,2-epoxycyclopentane was added. At a reaction temperature of 40 °C, 8.9 g of 50% hydrogen peroxide was slowly added dropwise over a period of 120 min, maintaining the reaction temperature at 40 ± 3 °C. After the addition was complete, the reaction was continued at 40 °C for 8 h, and the reaction results were confirmed by gas chromatography.

[0074] Catalyst post-cycle treatment method: After the reaction, the reaction solution is cooled to room temperature, tungsten-bismuth composite oxide catalyst B is filtered, washed three times with 5 mL tert-butanol, dried under vacuum at 40 °C for 5 h, and directly used for the next cycle reaction.
