Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst preparation, and specifically relates to a preparation method and application of a catalyst for catalyzing the direct esterification of deuterated methanol and carbon dioxide to synthesize deuterated dimethyl carbonate. Background Art

[0002] Deuterated compounds are often used as solvents in nuclear magnetic resonance detection. Due to the difference in spin quantum numbers, deuterated compounds can be used as solvents in nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum detection, which will not interfere with the detection of 1H, can avoid background interference caused by solvent H atoms, and improve the resolution and signal-to-noise ratio of NMR spectra. Deuterated compounds can also be used to explore reaction mechanisms. Since chemical bonds formed by D in molecules are usually more stable than chemical bonds formed by H, deuterium replaces certain specific CH bonds and compares the reaction rates before and after the replacement, that is, the KIE value, to determine whether the CH bond breakage is the rate-determining step. By replacing the reagents in the reaction with deuterated reagents, hydrogen bond formation, dissociation, and other processes that interact or are related to the solvent can be explored. In addition, deuterated compounds are often used as markers or tracers to track the transformation process of compounds in chemical reactions or biological processes. By introducing deuterated compounds into the compounds to be analyzed, their behavior and transformation pathways in the reaction can be tracked, so as to study reaction kinetics, metabolic pathways, etc., and further understand the reaction mechanism. By detecting whether there are unlabeled compounds and substrates labeled with four D atoms after the reaction, it is determined whether a ring-closing reaction and a double decomposition reaction occur.

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Weigh 8.68 g of cerium nitrate hexahydrate crystals (20 mmol) and dissolve them in 30 ml of deionized water, stir evenly to obtain a cerium solution; weigh 0.54 g of ferric chloride hexahydrate (2 mmol), 25 mg of sodium sulfate (0.176 mmol), and 78 mg of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (0.65 mmol) and dissolve them in 80 ml of water to obtain an iron solution.

[0027] The iron solution was slowly added drop by drop into the cerium solution under stirring, and stirred vigorously at 60°C for 30 min; under stirring, 0.01 mol / L NaOH solution was added to adjust the pH to 10, and stirred at 60°C for 0.5 hour; after stirring, the mixed solution was transferred to a hydrothermal synthesis reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene, and the hydrothermal synthesis reactor was sealed and placed in an oven for hydrothermal treatment at a temperature of 180°C for 16 hours; after cooling, the liquid precipitate was centrifuged, washed with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol, and dried at 80°C overnight; after drying, it was placed in a tubular furnace, and a mixture of hydrogen and argon with a volume ratio of 1:3 was introduced, and the temperature was raised to 500°C at a heating rate of 2°C / min, and then calcined at a constant temperature for 4 hours. After calcination, it was ground into powder and recorded as catalyst A. The SEM characterization results of the catalyst are shown as follows Figure 1 As shown, the TEM results are Figure 2 As shown, it can be seen that the catalyst presents an obvious spherical structure. The N2 adsorption isotherm of the catalyst at -196 °C and the corresponding pore size distribution are shown in Figure 3 As shown, it can be seen that the N2 adsorption isotherms all show hysteresis loops when the partial pressure (P / P0) is greater than 0.4, indicating the presence of mesopores in these samples, which is also confirmed by the pore size distribution, which helps to improve the reaction efficiency and adsorption capacity.

[0048] Example 12

[0049] The preparation of the catalyst was repeated as in Example 1, except that the constant temperature calcination temperature was changed to 400 degrees Celsius, and was recorded as catalyst L.

[0050] Example 13

[0052] Embodiment 14

[0053] The preparation of the catalyst was repeated in Example 1, except that the heating rate during calcination was changed to 1° C. / min, and was recorded as Catalyst N.

[0056] 0.1 g of the catalyst of Examples 1-15 was respectively placed in a 50 ml stainless steel autoclave reactor, 10 ml of deuterated methanol was added, carbon dioxide was introduced to make the reactor pressure 3.5 MPa, the reaction temperature was 140° C., the stirring rate was 500 r / min, and the reaction time was 6 hours. After the reaction was completed, the liquid phase product was collected and analyzed by gas chromatograph (GC). The analysis results are shown in Table 1.

[0057] Table 1 Performance of the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-15

[0058]

[0059]

[0060] It can be seen from Table 1 that the catalyst of the present invention has good selectivity, especially Example 1, the yield is relatively high, and the selectivity reaches 99.99%.

[0061] The yield in Table 1 is the activity evaluation index of the catalyst, which is calculated based on the number of millimoles of DMC obtained per gram of catalyst, in units of mmol / g, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0062]

[0063] Where: m DMC Indicates the mass of DMC in the product, in g, M DMC Indicates the molar mass of DMC in g / mol, m cat It represents the mass of the catalyst in g.

[0064] From the comparison of the catalytic results of the catalysts of Example 6 and Example 1 in Table 1, it can be seen that the incorporation of sodium salt during the preparation of the catalyst is beneficial to improving its catalytic activity. The reason may be that the incorporation of Na salt causes the reactant particles formed by etching to form more defects, thereby increasing the active sites of the catalyst.

[0065] Comparison of the catalytic results of the catalysts in Example 10 and Example 1 shows that the calcination atmosphere during catalyst preparation has a great influence on the catalytic activity. The catalyst prepared by calcination in a hydrogen-argon atmosphere has a catalytic effect that is approximately doubled relative to the catalyst calcined in air. In the catalyst prepared by calcination in a hydrogen-argon atmosphere of the present invention, hydrogen has a reducing effect and argon mainly has a protective gas effect. The reduction with hydrogen may change the interaction between the carrier and the metal component, as well as the electronic structure, thereby affecting the catalytic effect.

[0066] Cyclic stability test example

[0067] 0.1 g of the catalyst of Example 1 was placed in a stainless steel autoclave reactor containing 100 ml of solvent, 10 ml of deuterated methanol was added, carbon dioxide was introduced to make the reactor pressure 3.5 MPa, the reaction temperature was 140° C., the stirring rate was 500 r / min, and the reaction time was 6 hours. After each reaction, the solid-liquid mixture in the autoclave was centrifuged and the catalyst was washed and then used again. The catalyst was tested for cyclic stability, and the collected liquid products were analyzed by gas chromatograph (GC). The analysis results are shown in Table 2.

[0068] Table 2 Cyclic stability test results of catalysts

[0069] Cycle times Yield (mmol / g) Deuterated dimethyl carbonate selectivity (%) 1 16.31 99.99 2 16.22 99.98 3 15.99 99.99 4 15.89 99.99 5 16.17 99.99

[0070] It can be seen from Table 2 that after 5 cycles of testing, the catalytic activity of the catalyst hardly decreased during the cyclic use, the yield of deuterated dimethyl carbonate hardly changed much, and the selectivity was still maintained above 99%, showing good cyclic stability, providing reliability for long-term industrial applications, and having considerable advantages and potential application value.
