Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical raw material synthesis technology, and in particular to a bio-based 1,4-butanediol and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] 1,4-Butanediol, abbreviated as BDO, is a basic raw material for the production of polyesters such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polybutylene terephthalate-adipate-glycol (PBAT), and polybutylene succinate (PBS), and is an important organic and fine chemical raw material. Simultaneously, 1,4-Butanediol is a major raw material for the production of tetrahydrofuran. The polytetramethylene glycol ether (PTMEG) obtained after the polymerization of tetrahydrofuran is a basic raw material for the production of high-elasticity spandex (Lycra fiber), used in the production of high-elasticity knitwear such as high-end sportswear and swimwear.

[0003] There are over 17 different processes for producing 1,4-butanediol, but industrially, the main methods include the Reppe process (acetylene-aldehyde process) using formaldehyde and acetylene (calcium carbide gas) as raw materials, and the hydrogenation process using maleic anhydride, succinic acid, and their derivatives. While the acetylene-aldehyde process has relatively low production costs, calcium carbide is an energy-intensive raw material. The hydrogenation process can produce different products depending on the process conditions; however, its main drawbacks are the large number of hydrogenation byproducts, high separation costs, and the acidic reaction system. Generally, acid-sensitive systems can lead to poisoning of the active sites, making long-term production impossible. If 1,4-butanediol could be produced through targeted and highly selective hydrogenation by adjusting the catalytic active sites, it would have significant industrial potential.

[0004] Patent CN111018669A discloses a continuous preparation method for 1,4-butanediol, which requires two esterification reactions. This makes the existing mono-esterification-diesterification preparation process complex, requiring multiple supporting production facilities, large equipment investment, long production cycle, and high energy consumption. Furthermore, due to the special preparation process of bio-based succinic acid, trace impurities can affect the catalytic activity of the catalyst, resulting in unsatisfactory performance of the final product, 1,4-butanediol.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a method for producing bio-based 1,4-butanediol with low production cost and high purity. Summary of the Invention

Specifically, in the first-stage hydrogenation catalyst, the nickel loading is 30wt%–60wt%, the copper loading is 1wt%–5wt%, and the hydrophobic compound is 0.01wt%–0.2wt%; in the second-stage hydrogenation catalyst, the nickel loading is 5wt%–10wt%, the copper loading is 30wt%–60wt%, and the hydrophobic compound is 0.01wt%–0.2wt%. This invention prepares polymer-grade bio-based 1,4-butanediol through continuous liquid-phase hydrogenation of bio-based 1,4-succinic acid.

[0032] And / or, the molybdenum disulfide is a nanosheet structure with 5 to 20 layers.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the asphalt to molybdenum disulfide is 1:5 to 5:1;

[0034] And / or, the heat treatment conditions are: heat treatment at 200℃~400℃ for 3h~8h.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, the obtained porous carbon / molybdenum disulfide material carrier has a pore volume of 0.2 mL / g to 0.7 mL / g, a particle size of 3 mm to 5 mm, and a bulk density of 750 kg / m³. 3 ~1100kg / m 3 .

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the nickel precursor compound is selected from one or more of nickel chloride, nickel nitrate, nickel sulfate, basic nickel carbonate, nickel acetylacetone, nickel oxalate, nickel acetate, nickel citrate, nickel hypophosphite, nickel phosphate, and nickel formate.

[0037] And / or, the copper precursor compound is selected from one or more of copper chloride, copper nitrate, and copper sulfate;

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the acid solution is a dilute nitric acid solution with a concentration of 1 mol / L to 6 mol / L.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S4, the reduction conditions are: reduction at 160°C to 200°C for 6 to 10 hours under hydrogen atmosphere and atmospheric pressure. ,This gives the nickel-copper catalyst hydrogenation activity.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S14, the reduction conditions are: reduction at 160°C to 200°C for 6 to 10 hours under hydrogen atmosphere and atmospheric pressure. , This gives the nickel-copper catalyst hydrogenation activity.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step (2), the pressure of the hydrogenation reaction is 1 MPa to 10 MPa; preferably 2 MPa to 5 MPa;

[0043] And / or, the temperature of the hydrogenation reaction is 25°C to 100°C; preferably 80°C to 100°C;

Furthermore, the cluster sizes of both catalysts are: length 80 nm–150 nm, width approximately 30 nm–100 nm, and thickness approximately 10 nm–30 nm. The prepared bio-based 1,4-butanediol has a purity ≥99.90%, is free of methyl-1,4-butanediol and 2-(4-hydroxybutoxy)-tetrahydrofuran; the main impurities are tetrahydrofuran (≤0.05%) and n-butanol (≤0.05%).

[0049] The technical solution of this invention uses a high-strength molybdenum disulfide / porous carbon support, which can avoid the loss of non-precious metal nickel and copper catalytic centers into the product under pressurized hydrogenation conditions, thus preventing the catalyst activity from gradually decreasing and ensuring long-cycle production. In addition, the hydrophobic compound can enable the hydrogenated product to desorb quickly from the catalyst surface, and the degree of hydrogenation of the two C=O bonds of succinic acid can be controlled by adjusting the reaction pressure and temperature, thereby obtaining the target product.

[0050] The porous carbon / molybdenum disulfide support of this invention, due to the layered structure of molybdenum disulfide, allows the asphalt to extend along the layered voids during high-temperature treatment. Subsequently, under certain temperatures, processes such as dehydration and removal of organic matter result in a layered carbon structure that firmly bonds with molybdenum disulfide, creating numerous porous channels that facilitate the dispersion of active metal components. Simultaneously, this composite support structure naturally possesses high mechanical strength, easily achieving a particle strength ≥400 N / cm, which is difficult to achieve with traditional alumina particles; the mechanical strength of commercial catalyst support alumina particles typically reaches 100 N / cm.

[0051] The above technical solution has the following advantages compared with the existing technology:

[0052] (1) The catalyst used in this invention has an ultra-high strength of ≥400 N / cm, and the metal is not easily lost during the reaction, which plays a key role in the synthesis of high-purity bio-based 1,4-butanediol.

[0053] (2) The catalyst used in this invention uses porous carbon / molybdenum disulfide as a support. The catalyst support itself has a certain hydrogenation activity, which can promote the improvement of reaction activity, thereby reducing the reaction temperature, improving the reaction selectivity, and thus improving the purity of the product.

[0054] (3) The present invention uses bio-based 1,4-butanediol as the reaction raw material and uses hydrophobic compounds as additives as catalysts, which can make the product bio-based 1,4-butanediol desorb from the catalyst surface as soon as possible. On the one hand, it can accelerate the reaction rate, and on the other hand, it can avoid further reaction of the product on the catalyst surface, thereby achieving the final goal of the product purity reaching the polymerization level. Detailed Implementation
