Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst synthesis, and particularly relates to a high-efficiency catalyst for synthesizing polymaleic anhydride, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Polymaleic anhydride (PMA) is acidic, non-toxic, ionizable, and easily soluble in water. Its relative molecular mass is 400-800. PMA molecules contain polar groups carboxyl (-COOH) and hydroxyl (-OH), which can form chelates with calcium, magnesium and other ions in water, and promote lattice distortion, thereby achieving the purpose of scale inhibition. The corrosion inhibition effect is better when combined with zinc salts. PMA is suitable for alkaline environments, has high chemical and thermal stability, and a high decomposition temperature. It is widely used in flash evaporation devices for seawater desalination, low-pressure boilers, and industrial circulating cooling water. It is one of the important green and environmentally friendly water treatment agents.
[0003] Synthesis method of PMA: Due to the low electron cloud density and large steric hindrance of maleic anhydride carbon-carbon double bond, it is difficult to homopolymerize without catalyst conditions, which is the bottleneck of the synthesis reaction. At present, there are three main methods for synthesizing polymaleic anhydride: 1. Radiation polymerization method, which requires a radiation source device, high conditions, and is mostly used for scientific research, and has almost no industrial application. 2. Solvent polymerization method, this method uses azobisisobutyronitrile, benzoyl peroxide, etc. as initiators, benzene, benzene homologues, etc. as organic solvents, first polymerize, then hydrolyze, wash and separate to obtain polymaleic anhydride. The disadvantage of this method is that it uses flammable and explosive organic solvents, the recovery energy consumption is large and the process is complicated. The initiator is expensive and the amount used is large, resulting in high production costs. 3. Aqueous solution polymerization method, this method uses water instead of organic solvents, eliminates the potential danger of benzene organic solvents, uses H2O2 as initiator, transition metal ions as catalysts, reacts in water phase, the process is safe, the process is simple and easy to operate, but the disadvantage is that the catalyst is expensive and the amount of initiator is large. Therefore, exploring a suitable catalyst is of great significance to this study. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a highly efficient catalyst for synthesizing polymaleic anhydride, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0006] A method for preparing a high-efficiency catalyst for synthesizing polymaleic anhydride comprises the following steps:
[0007] (1) dissolving nitrate composed of metal ions and nitrate, glucose, and ammonium chloride in water to obtain a mixed solution;
[0008] (2) reacting the mixed solution at 150-200°C for 12 h, allowing the mixture to stand at room temperature after the reaction, and centrifuging to obtain a solid;
[0009] (3) After drying the solid at 60°C for 24 h, the solid was placed in a vacuum tube furnace and then calcined at 500-900°C for 2 h at a heating rate of 5°C / min to obtain the catalyst.
[0010] Furthermore, in step (1), the metal ion is Fe 3+ , Cu 2+ 、Co 2+ 、Ni 2+ One of them.
[0011] Furthermore, in step (1), the dosage ratio of nitrate, glucose and ammonium chloride is 0.3 mmol-1.0 mmol: 1.0-2.5 mmol: 0.5 g-1.1 g.

[0013] Furthermore, the calcination temperature in step (3) is preferably 700-850°C.
[0014] Furthermore, the catalyst prepared by the preparation method is used to synthesize polymaleic anhydride.
[0015] Furthermore, the specific process of using the catalyst to synthesize polymaleic anhydride is as follows: dissolving maleic anhydride and deionized water at 80°C, adding the catalyst prepared by the above preparation method, adding 27.5wt% hydrogen peroxide droplets into the reaction solution, reacting at 105°C-110°C for 1h, and cooling to room temperature after the reaction to obtain a dark brown transparent viscous liquid polymaleic anhydride solution.
[0016] Furthermore, the mass ratio of maleic anhydride, hydrogen peroxide and catalyst is 1:0.5-1.0:0.02.
[0017] Furthermore, the average molecular weight of the prepared polymaleic anhydride is 600-680.
[0018] The technical route of the present invention is:
[0019]
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
