Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of chemical raw material synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for preparing glutaronitrile from biomass raw materials. Background Art
[0002] Glutaronitrile is an important raw material for the production of pentamethylenediamine. Pentamethylenediamine is mainly used in the production of nylon 56 and pentamethylene diisocyanate (PDI) in the synthesis of high molecular weight polymers such as polyamide and polyurethane. Nylon 56 has a unique odd-even structure, with NH and C=O in the macromolecular chain in a dislocated state. It has good mechanical properties, hygroscopicity, thermal stability, flame retardancy, dyeing properties, wear resistance and softness, and is mainly used in textiles, engineering plastics and filter membranes (Synthetic Fibers, 2019, 48(12):53; RSC Advances, 2021, 11(39):23922-23942); PDI is a new type of aliphatic diisocyanate. Due to its similar structure and chemical properties to HDI and its higher carbon content, it has the potential to replace HDI in downstream products. It is mainly used in the manufacture of yellowing-resistant polyurethane coatings, inks and artificial leather (Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, 2022, 52(2):157-202). In addition, pentamethylenediamine is also widely used in agriculture and medicine.
[0003] Currently, the main methods for preparing pentamethylenediamine are biotransformation and chemical synthesis. The biotransformation method (Chinese Journal of Process Engineering, 2023, 23(7):958-971) is the mainstream technology for producing pentamethylenediamine. This method uses lysine as the raw material and produces pentamethylenediamine in one step through the action of decarboxylase. However, it is not easy to produce on a large scale, and the separation of the product and the post-treatment of the waste liquid of the biofermentation method are difficult;
[0004] Researchers have studied chemical synthesis methods, which essentially involve synthesizing the nitrile precursor of an amine and then hydrogenating the nitrile to obtain the amine. A patent (US Patent 2,409,086[P]. 1946-10-8) reports the preparation of cyano-containing aldehyde compounds from aliphatic aldehydes and acrylonitrile catalyzed by sodium hydroxide or sodium cyanide. However, side reactions such as self-polymerization and condensation of the reactants occur, resulting in large amounts of dinitrile and acetal compounds as byproducts, resulting in low yields of the target product. Liu Zechao et al. (CN 113698300 B, 2023-07-14) reported that acrylonitrile reacted with acetaldehyde in the presence of N,N-dihydroxyethyl-1,4-pentanediamine to produce 5-formylvaleronitrile, which was then reacted with ammonia and hydrogen to obtain a high yield of pentamethylenediamine. Zhang Wenzhen et al. (CN 115073318 B, 2023-03-03) reported a carbon dioxide-promoted method for synthesizing glutaronitrile and other polycondensation monomer precursors from acetonitrile and acrylonitrile. Li Chong et al. (Petrochemical Industry, 2010, 39(5): 524-527) used an amorphous nickel catalyst to carry out catalytic hydrogenation of glutaronitrile to produce pentamethylenediamine, with a pentamethylenediamine yield of 66.8%. Gilles Laval et al. (Cheminform, 2003, 2003(29):542-546) reported a process for preparing pentamethylenediamine by hydrogenating 5-aminovaleronitrile using NaBH4 as a hydrogen source under the catalysis of nickel chloride hexahydrate. This method has high selectivity for pentamethylenediamine, but the conversion rate is low, with a product yield of only 79%. Zhang Jianmei et al. (CN 111454172 B, 2023-04-28) reported a method for preparing glutaramide from dimethyl glutarate and aqueous ammonia, and then obtaining glutaronitrile in the presence of a dehydrating agent. Chen Enzhi et al. (CN 219631290U, 2023.09.05) reported a system for producing glutaronitrile from glutaric acid and ammonia.
[0005] In summary, bioconversion methods for producing pentamethylenediamine face challenges in large-scale production, while biofermentation methods present difficulties in product separation and wastewater post-treatment. While chemical synthesis methods for producing pentamethylenediamine (nitrile) offer scaled production and ease of product separation, they still face challenges such as unsustainable raw material availability, high raw material costs, and severe environmental pollution, making sustainable development impossible. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The present invention provides a method for preparing glutaronitrile from biomass raw materials, which mainly comprises the following steps:
[0042] (1) Furfural hydrogenolysis ring-opening reaction to produce 5-hydroxyvaleramide
[0043]
[0044] This step utilizes a supported catalyst to inhibit the formation of 2-hydroxyvaleramide (by preferentially cleaving the CO bond of the furan ring linked to the amide group) and promote the formation of 5-hydroxyvaleramide. Under the reaction system of the present invention, the raw material conversion rate is close to 100%, and the yield of 5-hydroxyfuramide is over 42%.
[0045] In conclusion, the method of the present invention has a feasible technical solution, a simple production process, low operation difficulty, and good application prospects.
[0046] The preparation method of the catalyst comprises the following steps:
[0047] The catalyst was prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method. Weigh 0.5g of cerium oxide, take an appropriate amount of MnCl2·4H2O aqueous solution, evenly impregnate it on CeO2, ultrasonicate for 30min, impregnate for 12h, and dry it at 120℃ overnight. Then take an appropriate amount of H2PtCl6·6H2O and evenly impregnate it on Mn / CeO2, ultrasonicate for 30min, impregnate for 12h, and dry it at 120℃ overnight. The obtained solid was calcined in a muffle furnace at 500℃ for 3h with a heating rate of 5℃ / min (the content of Pt is 5wt% and the content of Mn is 2%). Before use, place the catalyst in a tube furnace and reduce it at 300℃ (nitrogen 80ml / min, hydrogen 80ml / min) for 2h. 5%Pt-2%Mn / CeO2 was obtained. (2) Dehydration of 5-hydroxyvaleramide to 5-hydroxyvaleronitrile
[0048]
[0049] This step uses 5-hydroxyvaleramide as a raw material, supported Pd / SiO2 as a catalyst, and acetonitrile as a dehydrating agent to produce 5-hydroxyvaleronitrile by dehydration in the coexistence of water and acetonitrile. The production process is simple, the operation is easy, the raw material conversion rate is close to 100%, and the yield of 5-hydroxyvaleronitrile is 86.1%.
[0050] The preparation method of the catalyst comprises the following steps:
[0051] The catalyst was prepared by the equal volume impregnation method. 0.0504 g of PdCl2 was weighed and dissolved in 4 ml of 0.05 mol / L dilute hydrochloric acid. After fully dissolved, it was ultrasonicated for 5 minutes to prepare an impregnation solution. Subsequently, 2 g of SiO2 was weighed and added to the impregnation solution. After stirring with a glass rod and ultrasonicated for 30 minutes, the catalyst was allowed to stand for 12 hours and then placed in a 120°C drying oven for 12 hours. It was then calcined at 400°C for 3 hours to obtain 0.9% Pd / SiO2. (3) Amination of 5-hydroxyvaleronitrile to glutaronitrile
[0052]
[0053] This step aims to develop a dehydrogenation amination catalyst with high selectivity and good stability, which can be used to synthesize fatty nitriles from fatty alcohols and ammonia in the absence of hydrogen, so as to be suitable for industrial application.
[0054] The preparation method of the catalyst comprises the following steps:
[0055] The Ni-M / Al2O3 catalyst (M) was prepared using a deposition-precipitation (DP) method with a loading of 6 wt%. The metal precursors included Ni(NO3)2·6H2O, Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, Co(NO3)2·6H2O, and Fe(NO3)3·9H2O. The DP method involves dropping an aqueous urea solution into a vigorously stirred γ-Al2O3 and metal precursor aqueous solution in a glass beaker. The molar ratio of Ni to M (Ni-M / Al2O3) was set to 1. The mixture was tightly sealed with plastic film and heated with stirring on a thermostilicate. The mixture was maintained at 70°C for 10 h (Cu and Ni-Cu) or at 90°C for 5 h (Ni, Ni-Co, and Ni-Fe). Note that for Cu-containing catalysts, the temperature should not exceed 70°C because dehydration of the precipitated Cu(OH)2 can form aggregated CuO. The molar ratio of urea to total metal was set to ≥100 (Cu, Ni-Cu, Ni-Fe, Ni-Co). After deposition, the colorless supernatant was removed, and the resulting solid was washed three times with deionized water (DI) and then dried under reduced pressure. The resulting powder was calcined at 500°C for 1 h and then reduced at 400°C (Cu / Al2O3) or 600°C (Ni / Al2O3 and Ni-M / Al2O3) under a flow rate of 50 mL / min H2 for 1 h.
[0056] The furfural is prepared from furfural as a raw material, including the reaction of furfural and hydroxylamine to produce furonitrile (Chemical Industry and Engineering Journal, 2023, 74(09): 3708-3715) and the hydration of furonitrile to produce furfural (Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2019, 58, 17319-17324).
