AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing palladium-on-carbon catalyst, the surface palladium layer is easily lost during the hydrogenation refining of crude terephthalic acid, resulting in reduced catalyst activity and short lifespan.

Method used

Using activated carbon as a carrier, a rinsing process was added between the impregnation and aging processes to remove the surface palladium by rinsing with a buffer solution, thus preparing a palladium-carbon catalyst. This resulted in a protein-like distribution of palladium, with palladium smaller than 5 μm distributed in the 0–5 μm surface layer, 80–95% of the palladium distributed in the 5–50 μm protein-like layer, and the remainder distributed in the 50–200 μm inner layer.

Benefits of technology

This reduces palladium loss and improves catalyst activity and lifespan.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of palladium-on-carbon catalyst preparation, specifically relating to a palladium-on-carbon catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the production of crude terephthalic acid through hydrogenation refining, to increase the contact area between the reactants and the active palladium component in the catalyst, thereby improving catalytic activity, the selected supported palladium-on-carbon catalysts typically exhibit a higher palladium content closer to the outer layer, displaying a typical eggshell-shaped distribution. However, in actual production, the palladium in the top 5 μm layer is easily washed away by the reaction fluid and enters the ash along with the wear of the activated carbon surface, leading to a decrease in catalyst activity. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problem of low catalyst activity caused by palladium loss during use in existing palladium-on-carbon catalysts, this invention provides a palladium-on-carbon catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. The palladium-on-carbon catalyst provided by this invention is used in the purification reaction of crude terephthalic acid, and features reduced palladium loss, high catalyst activity, and long catalyst life.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a palladium-on-carbon catalyst, comprising: an activated carbon support and palladium supported on the activated carbon support, wherein, based on the mass of the activated carbon support as 100%, the mass percentage of palladium is 0.2-0.9%; the palladium content is distributed in a protein-like manner, with less than 5% of palladium distributed in a surface layer of 0-5 μm, 80-95% of palladium distributed in a protein-like layer of 5-50 μm, and the remainder of palladium distributed in an inner layer of 50-200 μm.

[0005] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of palladium is 0.45% to 0.55%, for example 0.45%, 0.48%, 0.51%, or 0.54%.

[0006] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a palladium-on-carbon catalyst, comprising:

[0007] S1: The activated carbon support loaded with palladium precursor is washed with a rinsing solution.

[0008] S2: The activated carbon carrier treated in S1 is then subjected to reduction treatment.

[0009] In some embodiments, in S1, the activated carbon support for the palladium precursor is prepared by a method comprising the following steps:

[0010] (1) Pre-treat activated carbon to obtain activated carbon carrier;

[0011] (2) The palladium precursor solution is adsorbed onto the activated carbon support;

[0012] In some embodiments, S1 also includes aging after washing.

[0013] In some embodiments, in step (2), the palladium precursor solution can be adsorbed onto the activated carbon support by an equal-volume impregnation method.

The catalyst obtained by rinsing with the buffer solution loses less palladium after the reaction.

[0021] In some embodiments, the buffer solution comprises 0.05–0.1 wt% anionic surfactant, 0.15–0.25 wt% tartaric acid, 0.15–0.25 wt% glacial acetic acid, and 0.35–0.5 wt% citric acid.

[0023] In some embodiments, the anionic surfactant is selected from one or more of sodium hexadecyl sulfate, potassium dodecyl polyoxyethylene ether phosphate, and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate.

[0024] In some embodiments, the pretreatment includes: washing the activated carbon with water to remove activated carbon powder; then adding an oxidant solution to carry out an oxidation reaction to obtain an oxidized carrier; and washing and drying the oxidized carrier to obtain the activated carbon carrier.

[0025] In some embodiments, the oxidant is selected from one or more of nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and potassium permanganate.

[0026] In some embodiments, the concentration of the oxidant solution is 0.1 to 1 mol / L, for example 0.15 mol / L, 0.2 mol / L, 0.26 mol / L, 0.31 mol / L, 0.36 mol / L, 0.39 mol / L, 0.45 mol / L, 0.58 mol / L, 0.67 mol / L, 0.74 mol / L, 0.88 mol / L, 0.92 mol / L, or 0.99 mol / L.

[0027] In some embodiments, the equivalence ratio of the oxidant solution to the activated carbon is 5 to 50:1, for example, 5:1, 10:1, 15:1, 20:1, 25:1, 30:1, 35:1, 40:1, 45:1 or 50:1.

[0028] In some embodiments, the oxidation reaction is carried out at a temperature of 20–80°C, for example, 22°C, 27°C, 32°C, 37°C, 41°C, 46°C, 50°C, 57°C, 63°C, 70°C, 72°C, or 79°C.

[0029] In some embodiments, drying can be carried out by baking at a temperature of 100-200°C, such as 100°C, 110°C, 120°C, 130°C, 140°C, 150°C, 160°C, 170°C, 180°C, 190°C, or 200°C.

[0030] In some embodiments, the activated carbon is selected from one or more of coal-based carbon, wood-based carbon, and fruit shell carbon.

[0031] In some embodiments, the activated carbon is fruit shell carbon, and more preferably, the activated carbon is coconut shell carbon.

[0032] In some embodiments, the activated carbon has a specific surface area of ​​1000–1300 m². 2 / g, for example, 1000m 2 / g、1020m 2 / g、1080m2 / g、1150m 2 / g、1200m 2 / g、1240m 2 / g or 1270m 2 / g.

[0033] In some embodiments, more than 90% of the activated carbon particles are in the 4-8 mesh size.

[0034] In some embodiments, the reducing agent used in the reduction treatment is selected from one or more of sodium oxalate, sodium sulfite, sodium formate, formic acid, and sodium nitrite.

The palladium-carbon catalyst provided by this invention is used in the purification reaction of crude terephthalic acid and has the characteristics of reducing palladium loss, high catalyst activity, and long life.

[0083] As can be seen from Table 1, the palladium-carbon catalysts prepared in each embodiment of the present invention have a palladium mass fraction of 0.2-0.9%; the palladium content is distributed in a protein-like manner, with less than 5% palladium distributed in the 0-5 μm surface layer, 80-95% palladium distributed in the 5-50 μm protein-like layer, and the remainder distributed in the 50-200 μm inner layer.

[0084] After evaluation by palladium loss rate experiment, the content and distribution of palladium, the active component of catalyst in each example and comparative example, and the evaluation results of catalyst under the above-mentioned activity evaluation conditions are shown in Table 2.

[0086]

[0087]

[0088] According to Tables 1 and 2, compared with Examples 1-7, Comparative Example 1 had a higher palladium loss rate and a lower 4-CBA conversion rate because there was no rinsing process and more palladium elements were distributed in the 0-5 μm surface layer. In Comparative Example 2, the palladium loading in the catalyst was lower because no oxidant was used to pre-oxidize the support, resulting in a lower 4-CBA conversion rate.

[0089] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the inventive concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
