Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomass conversion catalysts, and particularly relates to a reverse catalyst and application of the catalyst in catalyzing the hydrogenolysis of biomass derivatives to prepare polyols. Background Art

[0002] Biomass-derived molecules contain different CO bonds, such as ether / furan CO bonds in cellulose and hemicellulose derivatives, and phenolic CO bonds in lignin components. Although the development of noble metal (Ir, Pd, Ru, and Rh) catalysts in recent decades has effectively improved the catalytic performance of such reactions by introducing nano-metal oxides MO (M = Re, Mo, W, and V), MO promotes further hydrodeoxygenation of polyols to form byproducts, resulting in such reactions only having ideal polyol selectivity at low conversion rates. In addition, the high cost of the catalysts and the decreased stability caused by MO leaching also limit their application. Therefore, it is of great practical value to develop an efficient and long-lived non-noble metal catalyst for the hydrogenolysis of biomass derivatives to prepare polyols. Summary of the invention

[0003] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a cheap reverse MOx / M' catalyst and the use of the catalyst for catalyzing the hydrogenolysis of biomass derivatives to prepare polyols. The reverse MOx / M' catalyst of the present invention exhibits different selectivity from traditional catalysts when catalyzing the hydrogenolysis of biomass derivatives, especially being able to generate important polyols with high selectivity.

[0004] The reverse phase catalyst provided by the present invention is a nano-metal oxide MO as a supporting phase uniformly supported on a carrier metal M' to form a nano-oxide / metal reverse phase interface structure, which is recorded as MOx / M', and x represents the molar ratio of M' to M; wherein the nano-metal oxide MO is one of molybdenum oxide, rhenium oxide, tin oxide, yttrium oxide or lanthanide metal oxide, and the carrier metal M' is one of ruthenium, cobalt, platinum, nickel, palladium, copper or silver.

[0005] In the catalyst, the molar ratio of M' to M is 5-320:1.

[0006] The preparation method of the reverse phase catalyst comprises the following steps: dripping an aqueous solution of a carrier metal M' precursor and a nano metal oxide MO precursor into a precipitant under vigorous stirring, continuously stirring and mixing the mixture evenly, sealing the mixture in a hydrothermal kettle, heating the mixture to 100-200° C., and performing a hydrothermal reaction for 12-48 hours; filtering the mixture after the reaction, washing the mixture, and drying the mixture in an environment of 60-120° C.; then calcining the dried sample at 300-600° C. in an air atmosphere for 2-8 hours, and reducing the calcined sample in a hydrogen atmosphere at 250-550° C. for 2-6 hours to obtain a reverse phase catalyst MOx / M'.

[0007] The carrier metal M' precursor is selected from one or two of chlorides, sulfates, nitrates, phosphates, acetates and hydrates of ruthenium, cobalt, platinum, nickel, palladium, copper and silver, and the nano metal oxide MO precursor is selected from one or two of chlorides, sulfates, nitrates, phosphates, acetates and hydrates of molybdenum, rhenium, tin, yttrium and lanthanide metals.

[0008] The precipitant is an aqueous solution of one or more of potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, oxalic acid, sodium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, urea, ammonium carbonate, and ammonia water.

[0009] The invention discloses an application of the reverse phase catalyst in catalyzing the hydrogenolysis of biomass derivatives to prepare polyols.

[0010] The reaction of preparing polyols by hydrogenolysis of biomass derivatives is carried out in an intermittent reactor, the H2 pressure in the reaction is 1-5 MPa, the reaction temperature is 120-200°C, the reaction system is a solvent-free system or a solvent system, and the solvent is one of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and tetrahydrofuran.

[0011] The reaction of preparing polyols by hydrogenolysis of biomass derivatives is carried out in a continuous fixed bed reactor, and the H2 pressure in the reaction is 1-5 MPa and the flow rate is 30-60 mL·min –1 , the reaction temperature is 120~200℃.

[0012] The biomass derivative is one of furfural, tetrahydrofurfural, furfuryl alcohol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfuryl alcohol, and 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-propane-1,3-diol.

[0013] The reverse phase catalyst of the present invention has the characteristics of selectively breaking carbon-oxygen bonds and selectively hydrogenating. It can utilize the strong interfacial electronic interaction between MO and M' to enhance the adsorption of ether oxygen on the electron-rich interface near the oxygen vacancy, promote the cleavage of the CO bond in the biomass derivative molecule, and obtain highly selective polyols.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art: 1. The present invention solves the problems of poor polyol selectivity and unstable catalyst in the prior art by constructing an anti-phase interface between MO and M' active components to form a strong interfacial electronic interaction; 2. The present invention achieves efficient conversion of bio-based derivatives under relatively mild and environmentally friendly conditions, and the produced polyol compounds are polymer monomers, which expands the application scope of bio-based derivatives.
