Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of methyl methacrylate synthesis methods, specifically relating to a catalyst for methyl methacrylate synthesis, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is an important organic chemical raw material, mainly used in the production of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), also known as acrylic glass. Acrylic glass is widely used in industries such as automobiles, construction, sanitary ware, and public works. As of 2020, China's MMA production capacity had reached 1.455 million tons per year.

[0003] Currently, the ACH process is the most prevalent in MMA production. It requires the use of acrylonitrile units to produce HCN as a byproduct, and is therefore greatly affected by their operating status. In addition, it produces a large amount of ammonium sulfate as a byproduct, resulting in high production costs. The government has already restricted this process route.

[0004] Compared with other processes, the direct oxidation method using C4 as a raw material has significant advantages in terms of abundant raw material sources and environmental friendliness. MMA production using C4 as a raw material is gradually being promoted in China. This process route is divided into a three-step method and a two-step method. The three-step method oxidizes isobutylene to methacrolein, further oxidizes it to methacrylic acid, and finally esterifies it with methanol to obtain methyl methacrylate. The two-step method, on the other hand, oxidizes and esterifies methacrolein in a single step to produce methacrylic acid. The two-step route has many advantages, including a shorter reaction route, higher atom utilization, better selectivity, milder reaction conditions, and environmental friendliness. It represents a significant revolution in C4 MMA production, and its catalyst is key to this technology.

[0005] Currently, oxide-supported noble metal catalysts are widely used, especially Au-supported catalysts, which have the advantage of high selectivity, but their cost is extremely high. For example, Suzuki et al. of Asahi Chemical Corporation in Japan supported 1.1 wt% Au nanoparticles on a composite oxide support such as SiO2-Al2O3-MgO, and the cost of their catalyst reached several million yuan per ton. How to improve catalyst performance and gradually reduce catalyst cost has become the biggest challenge. Summary of the Invention
