Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of catalytic reaction of biomass aldehyde sugar to prepare 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with high selectivity. The present application belongs to the field of catalytic conversion of biomass, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing a multi-stage hole dual-function solid acid catalyst for catalyzing glucose dehydration to generate 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. BACKGROUND

[0002] The shortage of fossil resources such as petroleum and coal and the trade barriers caused by carbon tax have affected the economic development and the guarantee of people's living standards in China. Cellulose is a rich and inexpensive resource in nature, which can be used as a carbon source and energy source, and can be converted into numerous chemicals and high value-added products through catalysis. At present, the main catalytic conversion path is to hydrolyze cellulose into glucose, isomerize glucose into fructose, and then dehydrate fructose to generate 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). 5-hydroxymethylfurfural can be catalytically converted into various chemicals through processes such as oxidation and hydrogenation, such as furan dimethyl acid generated after oxidation, and long-chain polyols generated after hydrogenation reduction. Therefore, HMF is called "platform compound", and the efficient preparation of HMF restricts the utilization efficiency of cellulose biomass and the ultimate economy. At present, the design of catalyst has been listed as a key bottleneck problem in the academic and industrial circles.

[0003] However, the current HMF production is mainly based on crystalline fructose as raw material, and the price of fructose is high, and the international market fluctuation is large, which leads to the high price of HMF and its downstream conversion products, and the lack of economy and practicability. Many studies focus on the preparation of HMF from glucose as raw material. The key and difficulty of this reaction path is to develop a bifunctional catalyst with matching reaction kinetics, that is, glucose needs to undergo two-step reaction to convert into HMF, glucose is first isomerized into fructose, and then fructose is dehydrated to generate HMF; the catalyst surface requires the presence of Lewis acid catalytic sites for catalyzing the conversion of glucose into fructose and proton acid sites for catalyzing the dehydration of fructose to generate HMF, and the two types of catalytic sites need to be consistent in apparent reaction kinetics. However, the process of glucose conversion into HMF is accompanied by many side reactions such as thermal decomposition, which is a complex reaction path coexisting with continuous reaction and parallel reaction, and the side reactions have strong competitiveness in thermodynamics and kinetics. In order to realize the efficient conversion of glucose into HMF, the Lewis acid sites and proton acid sites of the catalyst need to have high kinetics performance for the main reaction and strong stability in aqueous reaction. However, the reported niobium-zirconium-based catalysts still have some deficiencies in catalytic activity, stability and reaction kinetics performance under high substrate concentration conditions. Compared with niobium and zirconium, the enthalpy of formation of tantalum oxide or phosphate is larger, and it has high stability in water. CN102477020A a method for catalyzing carbohydrates to prepare 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, the phosphated tantalum oxide or the phosphotantalum prepared by the tartaric acid-phosphoric acid precipitation method has Lewis acid sites and proton acid sites at the same time, and can catalyze the conversion of glucose into HMF; the yield of HMF can reach 78% in a two-phase system. However, the surface structure of the catalyst is unstable during the reaction, and the active site ions such as phosphate are easy to flow into the reaction liquid, the distribution of the catalytic sites on the surface of the catalyst is uneven, physical and chemical carbon deposition is easy to occur, which leads to the decrease of the reusability of the catalyst; the catalyst can catalyze the degradation of HMF in aqueous solution, which reduces the yield and selectivity of HMF; and the catalyst is easy to deactivate under high substrate concentration conditions, and the overall reaction efficiency is very low.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a tantalum-based bifunctional catalyst with high stability and high kinetics performance in the reaction process in aqueous solution, which can catalyze the conversion of glucose and other aldehyde-type six-carbon sugars into HMF. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for catalytically preparing HMF from glucose, in order to overcome the defects of the current technology. The method of the present application is to synthesize a bifunctional phosphotantalum oxide solid acid catalyst with uniform pore size distribution and large specific surface area by non-equilibrium sol-gel phase separation method, combined with organic acid coordination to control the sol-gel reaction rate between ethoxy tantalum and phosphoric acid and provide a template for mesopore formation.

[0006] The synthesized catalyst is high in crystallinity and large in defect structure density of crystal ion vacancies after calcination activation, thereby improving the physical adsorption and chemical adsorption activation of the catalyst to substrate molecules, and having uniformly distributed and high stability Lewis acid sites and proton acid sites. The catalyst can continuously and efficiently catalyze the ketonization and dehydration reaction of glucose in an aqueous phase to generate HMF, and the generated HMF can be further extracted and separated in a water-organic solvent two-phase reaction system, thereby improving the generation rate and selectivity of HMF. The catalyst still has micron-sized large pores after calcination activation, and the diffusion limitation of reactants and products is small, which can improve the apparent reaction kinetics of reactant conversion and reduce the further conversion of products to humus. The surface structure is stable after recycling at high temperature for multiple times, and the catalyst still has high reaction activity. Therefore, the bifunctional solid acid catalyst for converting glucose to HMF is prepared by a simple process, and has high stability and strong reaction kinetics, and HMF with high content can be obtained under high substrate concentration.

[0007] In order to achieve the purpose of the present application, the specific technical scheme adopted is:

[0008] The multi-level pore phosphotungstic acid bifunctional solid acid catalyst for preparing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from glucose and a preparation method thereof comprise the following steps: dispersing and dissolving the multi-level pore phosphotungstic acid solid acid catalyst and glucose in an aqueous solution, adding a low-boiling organic solvent to extract the generated HMF to prevent the condensation and thermal decomposition of HMF and the substrate glucose, reacting at 140 DEG C to 190 DEG C for 10 to 600 minutes, centrifugally separating the phosphotungstic acid bifunctional solid acid catalyst, and then separating and purifying to obtain HMF.

[0009] Further, the low-boiling organic solvent is selected from the group consisting of methyl isobutyl ketone, n-butanol, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethanol and mixtures thereof. Methyl isobutyl ketone is preferred.

[0010] Further, the volume ratio of water to low-boiling organic solvent is 1:1 to 1:5. We have found through experimental parameter optimization that the preparation efficiency of HMF is the highest when the ratio of water to methyl isobutyl ketone is 3:7.

[0011] Further, the mass concentration of glucose in water is 1% to 20%. The mass ratio of the multi-level pore phosphotungstic acid solid acid catalyst to glucose is 1:5 to 1:40.

[0012] Further, as preferred, the reaction is carried out at 170 DEG C to 180 DEG C, and the yield of HMF is higher.

[0013] The bifunctional solid acid catalyst of tantalum oxyphosphate is obtained by the following method: dissolving tantalum chloride in alcohol and reacting at 60-90°C for 2-6 hours to form tantalum alkoxide, cooling to room temperature, adding organic acid, polyethylene glycol and water and stirring until dissolved, and finally adding concentrated phosphoric acid and gelling, removing the organic acid and solvent in the gel by solvent exchange and vacuum drying to obtain a dry gel material of tantalum oxyphosphate, which is activated by calcination at 500-1100°C to obtain the bifunctional solid acid catalyst of tantalum oxyphosphate.

[0014] Further, the alcohol can be methanol, ethanol, n-propanol or isopropanol; preferably, ethanol has the best effect.

[0015] Further, the organic acid can be citric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, hexanoic acid, tartaric acid or a mixture of the above organic acids, and citric acid has the best effect as a pore-forming agent; citric acid is added to generate mesopores by calcination because citric acid can coordinate with Ta 5+ and can be distributed in the framework of the TaP material. After adding citric acid, the porosity parameters of the TaP material are significantly improved and the specific surface area is increased.

[0016] Further, in order to ensure that the prepared bifunctional solid acid of tantalum oxyphosphate generates co-continuous macropores and mesopores with uniform pore size distribution, the present application further limits the high polymer to be polyethylene glycol according to specific reaction conditions. The amount of polyethylene glycol is 10-30 g / mol-tantalum chloride. The molar ratio of organic acid to tantalum chloride is 0.25:1-2:1, and the molar ratio of concentrated phosphoric acid to tantalum chloride is 1:1-4:1.

[0017] Preferably, when the molar ratio of organic acid to tantalum chloride is 1:1 and the molar ratio of concentrated phosphoric acid to tantalum chloride is 2:1, the specific surface area of the obtained tantalum oxyphosphate dry gel is higher after calcination at 600°C for 8 hours, and the catalytic effect is also the best. The material synthesized when the volume ratio of ethanol to water is 5:3 exhibits uniform macropore distribution.

[0018] The high-crystallinity hierarchical porous tantalum oxyphosphate is prepared by the sol-gel phase separation method combined with organic acid coordination to control the reaction rate, a bifunctional solid acid with Lewis acid sites for catalyzing aldose ketonization reaction and proton acid sites for catalyzing ketose dehydration is constructed, and HMF is generated by catalyzing glucose consecutive reaction. Thus, HMF is efficiently prepared by a two-phase one-pot method under relatively mild conditions by a simple process.

[0019] The application further provides a preparation method of the high-efficiency bifunctional solid acid catalyst of tantalum oxyphosphate for catalyzing glucose to prepare HMF in a water / organic solvent two-phase system, comprising the following steps: through a solution homogeneous reaction, the precursor is in an atomic level mixed state, the reaction rate of the sol-gel process is controlled by using organic acid coordination, an organic polymer is added as a phase separation inducer, water is added to hydrolyze the tantalum alkoxide into hydrated tantalum hydroxide, and finally, concentrated phosphoric acid is added to obtain a tantalum oxyphosphate gel material, the material is dried and calcined, and the bifunctional solid acid catalyst of tantalum oxyphosphate is obtained. According to the gelation polymerization reaction and phase separation control conditions, 1M hydrochloric acid or water / ice bath can be added.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. The bifunctional solid acid catalyst of tantalum oxyphosphate has the performance of catalyzing high-concentration biomass-based aldose to generate platform compound 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in a one-pot method in a water-organic solvent two-phase system, realizes green and efficient catalysis of sugar biomass conversion, and the bifunctional solid acid catalyst of tantalum oxyphosphate is a solid-liquid catalytic system, has small corrosion to equipment, and has higher operability in the production process after the catalyst is separated out through filtration or centrifugation after the reaction is completed.

[0022] 2. The bifunctional solid acid catalyst has high crystallinity, less ion leakage in the water phase reaction process, high water phase stability of Lewis acid sites, high reaction kinetics performance, stable structure after calcination recovery, and can be repeatedly used for many times, and can efficiently catalyze aldose to ketose conversion.

[0023] 3. The bifunctional solid acid catalyst has weakly acidic and moderately strong acidic proton acidity, can selectively catalyze ketose dehydration and glycosidic bond hydrolysis, and thus can prepare HMF by using polysaccharides as raw materials through cascade catalysis. Meanwhile, because the proton acidity is not strong, the generated HMF is not easy to be further catalytically decomposed into formic acid and acetylpropionic acid, and thus the yield of the product HMF is ensured.
