Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of catalyst preparation, in particular to a double metal cyanide catalyst and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Double metal cyanide (DMC) catalysts are a class of compounds with unique structures and catalytic properties. They consist of two different metal ions and a cyanide ligand. Due to their unique electronic properties and tunable structural characteristics, these catalysts have shown broad application potential in various chemical fields, especially in promoting environmentally friendly chemical reactions.

[0003] DMCs were first discovered in the 1970s and were primarily used in industrial polymer production, such as the synthesis of polyesters and polyethers. Over time, scientists discovered that DMCs have remarkable activity and selectivity in catalyzing CO2 conversion and ring-opening polymerization of epoxides. These reactions are crucial for the synthesis of biodegradable polycarbonates, which have a wide range of applications in packaging, medical, optical media, electronics, and the automotive industry. In particular, against the backdrop of increasingly severe global climate change and environmental problems, the application of DMCs catalysts in promoting CO2 fixation and conversion has received great attention. By using CO2 as a carbon source to react with epoxides such as propylene oxide to produce polycarbonates, it is not only possible to effectively reduce the content of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, but also to produce commercially valuable bio-based materials.

[0004] The activity and selectivity of DMCs catalysts can be optimized by adjusting the type, ratio and coordination environment of their constituent metals. For example, zinc and chromium composite DMCs are favored by researchers due to their high efficiency in CO2 / epoxide copolymerization reactions. This type of catalyst can not only increase the molecular weight of the product, but also increase the selectivity for CO2 insertion by regulating the electronic properties of the metal center, thereby reducing the formation of by-products. However, although DMCs catalysts have made significant progress in laboratory-scale research, they still face some challenges in industrial applications, including catalyst stability, recyclability and cost-effectiveness. The present invention prepares a double metal cyanide catalyst by optimizing the materials. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a double metal cyanide catalyst and a preparation method thereof to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A method for preparing a double metal cyanide catalyst comprises the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Dissolve potassium cobalt cyanide in deionized water and stir ultrasonically for 10-15 minutes to obtain solution A;

[0009] Step 2: Mix ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, a complexing agent, and deionized water, and vigorously stir in a constant temperature water bath at 25°C to obtain solution B;

[0010] Step 3: Add solution A dropwise to solution B, stir for 3-4 hours, age for 48-50 hours, and post-treat to obtain a double metal cyanide catalyst.

[0011] More optimally, the complexing agent includes a linear alcohol and a modified silane, wherein the mass ratio of the linear alcohol to the modified silane is 1:(9-11).

[0012] More optimally, the straight-chain alcohol includes one or more of methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol, that is, the number of carbon molecules is less than or equal to 4; the straight-chain alcohol contains hydroxyl groups, which can act as ligands to form coordination bonds with metal ions. This coordination effect can enhance the electron density of the metal center and increase the number of available active sites, thereby enhancing the overall catalytic performance of the catalyst.

[0013] More optimally: the preparation process of the modified silane is:

[0014] S1: Dissolve 4-methacrylamidosalicylic acid, acrylic acid, and tetraaminoferric phthalocyanine in deionized water, stir ultrasonically for 3-5 hours, add 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide, heat to 70-80°C, and react for 4-5 hours. The amino groups of tetraaminoferric phthalocyanine react with the carboxyl groups of 4-methacrylamidosalicylic acid and acrylic acid under the action of a catalyst to undergo an amidation reaction to obtain a modifier.

[0015] S2: Mix the modifier, 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane and ethanol, stir for 30-40 minutes, add azobisisobutyronitrile under a protective atmosphere, raise the temperature to 70-80°C, and react for 5-8 hours to obtain modified silane; wherein, the double bond in the modifier and the thiol of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane undergo a click reaction under a protective atmosphere to finally obtain the modified silane; the modified silane is hydrolyzed in water to produce silanol structures, which further react with other silanol groups or metal ions to form a three-dimensional network structure, thereby increasing the number and accessibility of the catalyst active sites; at the same time, the phthalocyanine groups contained therein enhance the electron transfer process of the catalyst, thereby improving the catalytic effect.

[0016] More optimally, the modifier comprises the following components: by weight, 9-11 parts of 4-methylacrylamidosalicylic acid, 1-2 parts of acrylic acid, 9-11 parts of tetraaminoferric phthalocyanine, 0.5-1 parts of 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, and 0.5-1 parts of N-hydroxysuccinimide.

[0017] More optimally, the modified silane comprises the following components: 8-10 parts by weight of a modifier, 4-5 parts by weight of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, and 0.5-0.8 parts by weight of azobisisobutyronitrile.

[0018] More optimally, the potassium cobalt cyanide accounts for 0.1-0.2 wt % of solution A.

[0019] More optimally, the solution B comprises the following components: by weight, 1-2 parts of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, 10-12 parts of a complexing agent, and 1000 parts of deionized water.

[0020] More optimally: in the step three, the specific process of post-treatment is: after aging, washing with water and ethanol for 5-6 times respectively, and then transferring to a vacuum drying oven at 60-70°C and drying for 4-5 hours.

[0021] The present invention modifies 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane and uses it together with a linear alcohol as a complexing agent to increase the specific surface area of ​​the catalyst, thereby increasing the number of active sites on the catalyst as a whole, thereby effectively activating the reactant molecules and promoting the reaction. The details are as follows:

[0022] First, the amino groups of tetraaminoferric phthalocyanine react with the carboxyl groups of 4-methacrylamidosalicylic acid and acrylic acid under the action of a catalyst to produce an amidation modifier, which then undergoes a click reaction with the double bond of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane to ultimately produce a modified silane. The phthalocyanine group in tetraaminoferric phthalocyanine has a large π-electron conjugated system, which helps delocalize electrons within the molecule, thereby reducing the activation energy of electrons and promoting electron transfer during the catalytic process. Simultaneously, the nitrogen atom in the phthalocyanine group can act as an electron donor, providing electrons to the central metal ion through coordination bonds. This facilitates electron transfer from the group to the metal center, reducing the activation energy of the reaction and accelerating the reaction rate. Furthermore, it can form a strong interaction with the substrate, enhancing the adsorption of the substrate on the catalyst surface, and helping to improve the selectivity and activity of the catalytic reaction.

[0023] Second, the modified silane hydrolyzes in water, and the resulting silanol groups bind to metal ions, forming a three-dimensional network. This contributes to the catalyst's porous structure, thereby increasing the number and accessibility of active sites. Furthermore, the modified silane's stable phthalocyanine structure gives the overall catalyst high chemical and thermal stability. This allows it to maintain structural integrity during electron transfer, making it less susceptible to decomposition and enabling high yields to be achieved under relatively mild conditions.

[0074]

[0075] Table 1

[0076] Conclusion: Compared with Comparative Example 4, Examples 1-4 increase the specific surface area of ​​the catalyst by modifying 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane and acting as a complexing agent together with a straight-chain alcohol, thereby increasing the number of active sites of the catalyst as a whole, thereby effectively activating the reactant molecules and promoting the reaction.

[0077] Comparative Example 1 uses methanol alone as a complexing agent. The monohydric alcohol contains hydroxyl groups, which can serve as a ligand to form a coordination bond with the metal ion. This coordination effect can change the electron density and available active sites of the metal center, thereby affecting the catalytic performance of the catalyst. However, the lack of the modified silane to play a role reduces the thermal stability of the catalyst, making it easy to lose it during the catalytic reaction, thereby reducing the catalytic performance.

[0078] Comparative Example 2 uses only modified silane as a complexing agent, and its carbon dioxide fixation rate is increased compared to Comparative Example 1. This is because the phthalocyanine group contained in the modified silane has a large π-electron conjugated system, which helps to delocalize electrons within the molecule, thereby reducing the activation energy of electrons and promoting the transfer of electrons in the catalyst during the catalytic process. At the same time, the nitrogen atom in the phthalocyanine group can act as an electron donor, providing electrons to the central metal ion through a coordination bond, which helps transfer electrons from the group to the metal center, reducing the activation energy of the reaction and accelerating the reaction rate. However, compared with Example 4, the synergistic effect of the straight-chain alcohol is lacking, and its catalytic performance is also reduced.

[0079] Comparative Example 3 does not use a modifier to modify 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, which is better than the lack of phthalocyanine groups in the modifier, so that the overall stability and catalytic efficiency of the catalyst are reduced, and therefore, its carbon dioxide fixation rate decreases.
