Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of chemical technology, and particularly relates to a catalyst for preparing cyclohexylbenzene by hydrogenation of diphenyl and a preparation method thereof, and application of the catalyst in preparing high-purity cyclohexylbenzene by hydrogenation of diphenyl. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cyclohexylbenzene is an important chemical intermediate, is a high-boiling solvent for preparing coatings, plastics and adhesives, and has special physical and chemical properties. Cyclohexylbenzene can be prepared into phenol and cyclohexanone through oxidation reaction, phenol is an important chemical raw material, and cyclohexanone is an intermediate for producing caprolactam and nylon. Cyclohexylbenzene can also be used as a raw material for synthesizing TFT liquid crystal materials and can be used as an additive for lithium ion secondary battery electrolyte, and has overcharge prevention performance. As a raw material for electrolyte and the like, the purity of cyclohexylbenzene has a relatively high requirement, and is usually required to be more than 99.5%.

[0003] At present, cyclohexylbenzene is mostly prepared by benzene alkylation by hydrogenation, and is also prepared by benzene alkylation with styrene. The products prepared by these methods include cyclohexylbenzene, multi-alkylbenzene and methylcyclopentylbenzene, etc. Among them, methylcyclopentylbenzene has many isomers, and the boiling point is very close to that of cyclohexylbenzene (the difference is 2-8℃ under normal pressure). Therefore, the product needs to be separated and rectified in multiple stages to obtain high-purity cyclohexylbenzene.

[0004] Cyclohexylbenzene can also be prepared by selective hydrogenation of diphenyl, and CN107185548B discloses a catalyst for preparing cyclohexylbenzene by selective hydrogenation of diphenyl and a method thereof.

Part of the oxidation state catalyst is partially reduced into a reduced state catalyst, and the catalyst is used in the reaction of selective hydrogenation of diphenyl to generate cyclohexylbenzene by using a fixed bed reactor. The catalyst has a large amount of active metals, high cost, and is easy to deactivate and has poor stability.
