Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high-value conversion of waste plastics, and in particular to a two-step method for catalytically converting waste PET plastics into 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Background Art

[0002] Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most widely used synthetic polyester plastics, with an annual global production of nearly 70 million tons. However, used PET waste plastics are usually unable to degrade under natural conditions, which will seriously threaten the ecological environment and human health. At the same time, PET, as a petroleum-based plastic, contains rich carbon, hydrogen and oxygen resources. Therefore, whether from the perspective of environmental pollution or resource utilization, the recycling of PET waste plastics needs to be solved urgently.

[0003] Chemical recycling of PET waste plastics is considered to be the most promising strategy for recycling PET waste due to its high efficiency and sustainability. At present, researchers have developed a variety of chemical strategies to recycle PET waste, such as hydrolysis, methanolysis, glycolysis and hydrogenolysis (CN113444284A, CN118561687A, CN114426483B, CN109705985A). Through these strategies, PET can be depolymerized into small molecular compounds, such as terephthalic acid (TPA), dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) and p-xylene (PX), etc., which can be directly or first oxidized and then repolymerized back to PET. However, the above process only realizes the closed-loop recycling of PET waste. If PET waste can be converted into higher value products, it is more desirable to achieve the upgrading and recycling of PET waste. 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) is a key chemical for producing high-end copolyester plastics. Considering the chemical structure of PET itself, converting PET waste into CHDM is feasible and more economically valuable. However, this process has problems such as complex reaction process, low product selectivity, and expensive catalysts (CN117563628A, CN104003840B, CN117181218A).

[0004] Therefore, a simpler and more economical method for catalytically converting PET waste into CHDM with high selectivity is urgently needed. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to propose a two-step method for catalytically converting waste PET plastics into 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, so as to achieve the upgrading and recycling of waste PET plastics.

[0006] Based on the above purpose, the present application provides a two-step method for catalytically converting waste PET plastic into 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, the method comprising:

[0007] Step 1: Discarded PET plastic dispersed in a methanol medium reacts at 150-180° C. under the action of a nickel-based catalyst and in the presence of hydrogen, firstly methanolyzing and depolymerizing to obtain dimethyl terephthalate, and then further hydrogenating to obtain dimethyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate;

[0008] Step 2, centrifugally separating the catalyst and the reaction liquid in step 1, and then reacting the reaction liquid at 250° C. under the action of CuMgAl catalyst and hydrogenation conditions to obtain the target product 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol.

[0009] Wherein, the nickel-based catalyst in step 1 comprises a carrier and an active ingredient and an auxiliary agent supported on the carrier, wherein the carrier is at least one of cerium oxide, magnesium oxide, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, and niobium oxide; the active ingredient is nickel; and the auxiliary agent is at least one of platinum, palladium, and ruthenium;

[0010] Wherein, the CuMgAl catalyst in step 2 is prepared by a coprecipitation method, the mass fraction of Cu in the total amount of the catalyst is 20%, the mass fraction of Mg in the total amount of the catalyst is 5%, and the mass fraction of Al in the total amount of the catalyst is 40%;

[0011] Preferably, the nickel-based catalyst carrier is at least one of cerium oxide, magnesium oxide, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, and niobium oxide, preferably cerium oxide.

[0012] Furthermore, the promoter of the nickel-based catalyst is selected from at least one of platinum, palladium and ruthenium, preferably palladium.

[0013] Furthermore, the nickel loading in the nickel-based catalyst is 1% to 7%, preferably 5%.

[0014] Furthermore, the palladium loading of the nickel-based catalyst promoter is 0.2% to 2%, preferably 0.5%.

[0015] Furthermore, the reaction temperature of step 1 is 150-180°C, preferably 180°C.

[0016] Furthermore, the reaction time of step 1 is 2-12 hours, preferably 10 hours.

[0017] Furthermore, the reaction hydrogen pressure in step 1 is 2-6 MPa, preferably 6 MPa.

[0018] Furthermore, the mass concentration of the PET plastic tested in the step 1 is 2%-20%, preferably 10%.

[0019] Furthermore, the reaction conditions of step 2 are 250°C, 4h, 5MPa H 2 .

[0020] The key step in catalytic conversion of waste PET plastics to prepare CHDM is the conversion of PET to 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester (DMCD). This step has extremely high requirements for the catalyst. Not only does it require the catalyst to have the ability to depolymerize PET by methanolysis, but it also requires the catalyst to be able to dissociate hydrogen and achieve selective hydrogenation, so that PET can be highly selectively converted to DMCD. The present invention uses cerium oxide with certain methanolysis activity as a catalyst carrier, non-precious metal nickel as the active center for benzene ring hydrogenation, and a small amount of precious metal palladium to regulate the hydrogenation selectivity to avoid transitional hydrogenation, thereby achieving a process of highly selective conversion of waste PET plastics to DMCD, and the molar yield of DMCD can reach 86.5%. Furthermore, DMCD can be further converted into CHDM on a CuMgAl catalyst, and the molar yield can reach 83.8% (calculated based on PET). CHDM is a key raw material for producing high-end polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (PETG) and poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol terephthalate) (PCT) and has high added value. Therefore, the process has good industrial value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] See also Figure 1 A two-step method for catalytically converting waste PET plastic into 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol comprises:

[0026] Step 1: Waste PET plastic dispersed in a methanol medium reacts at 150-180° C. under the action of a nickel-based catalyst and in the presence of hydrogen, firstly undergoes methanolysis and depolymerization to obtain dimethyl terephthalate, and then further undergoes hydrogenation to obtain dimethyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate.

The mass concentration of the reactants is the mass percentage of waste PET plastic to solvent, which can be 2-20%.

[0028] The nickel-based catalyst comprises a carrier and an active ingredient and an auxiliary agent supported on the carrier, wherein the carrier is at least one of cerium oxide, magnesium oxide, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, and niobium oxide; the active ingredient is nickel; and the auxiliary agent is at least one of platinum, palladium, and ruthenium;

[0029] The preparation method of the nickel-based catalyst is a step-by-step method, that is, first preparing a carrier and then loading the metal, and the metal loading adopts an excess impregnation method, a deposition precipitation method, and an equal volume impregnation method, etc., preferably an equal volume impregnation method.

The reaction was stopped after 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, an appropriate amount of ethyl acetate and internal standard tridecane were added to the autoclave, and the catalyst was separated by centrifugation. The supernatant was qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by GC-MS (Agilent 7890A) and GC (Agilent 7890B), respectively.

[0060] The key step in catalytically converting waste PET plastics into CHDM is the one-pot conversion of PET to DMCD. This step first requires the methanol depolymerization of PET into a small molecule compound DMT, which can be further hydrogenated under the action of hydrogen to obtain DMCD. Therefore, the catalyst designed for this step needs to have a certain ability to depolymerize PET with methanol, thereby efficiently converting waste PET plastics into DMCD in one pot. As can be seen from the above table, in the process of methanol depolymerization of PET to DMT, when the carrier of the nickel-based catalyst is at least one of cerium oxide, magnesium oxide, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, and niobium oxide, cerium oxide is preferably used as the catalyst carrier, which can efficiently depolymerize PET into DMT with a yield of up to 93.7%.
