Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the preparation of ketones, in particular, a one-pot synthesis of ketones with H2 / CO / CO2 as the reaction atmosphere and cellulose as the raw material. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cellulose is a high polymer of glucose polymerized by glycosidic bond, as shown in the following formula (a). It is a feasible way for cellulose conversion to depolymerize it into small molecular weight platform molecules and then convert them into other important chemicals.

[0003]

[0004] Cellulose hydrogenation reaction mainly refers to the process of converting polysaccharide cellulose into other useful chemicals through hydrogenation reaction, which belongs to the category of reduction reaction. Palladium (Pd) has been used as a catalyst in various catalytic hydrogenation reactions, but there are still two problems in using Pd as a catalyst for catalytic hydrogenation reaction: on the one hand, due to the strong hydrogenation performance of Pd, it will perform non-selective hydrogenation on all functional groups in compounds containing multiple hydrogenation functional groups (such as -C=C, -C≡C, -C=O, etc.). On the other hand, Pd is easily poisoned by carbon monoxide (CO), which makes the purity requirement of hydrogen (H2) used in the hydrogenation process very high, at least the purity of hydrogen should be higher than 99.99%.

[0005] Biomass-derived ketones are an important class of platform molecules, which can be divided into cyclic ketones and linear ketones. Cyclic ketones are useful chemicals or intermediates for producing valuable chemicals. For example, 2-methylcyclopent-2-enone (MCPE) is a key intermediate for the synthesis of specific fragrances and flavors used in perfumes, cosmetics and food. In recent years, linear diketones have received extensive research attention due to their inherent high value and great application potential. For example, 1-hydroxy-2-hexanone (HHO) and 2,5-hexanedione (HD) can be synthesized into a series of high-end chemical products through chemical conversion, which are used for energy, food, medicine and other purposes. HD is an important chemical for the synthesis of pesticides and resin materials, and can also be used to produce high-density aviation biofuels. HHO contains a hydroxyl group and an adjacent ketone group, which is an important platform for generating various high-value chemicals and fuels. In general, cellulose-derived ketones can be directly obtained from the depolymerization process of renewable cellulose through various domino reaction pathways. Hydrogenation is a key step in the traditional synthesis of cellulose-derived ketones. Therefore, people have been working to develop new and efficient catalytic hydrogenation systems for this reaction.

[0006] Currently, the industrial hydrogen production mostly adopts the natural gas steam reforming reaction process route. This process not only has low cost but also has high technical maturity; however, the gas produced by this process mainly contains H2, CO and CO2, as shown in Table 1. The entire hydrogen production process of this mode can be divided into four steps:

[0007] Table 1

[0008]

[0009] Firstly, the raw material pretreatment stage, untreated natural gas usually contains a certain amount of impurities, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2), moisture and other trace amounts of organic sulfides, etc. In order to avoid the toxic effects of these impurities on the subsequent reforming catalyst, it is necessary to pretreat the natural gas. This stage mainly removes impurities through desulfurization, decarburization and drying processes to make the natural gas meet the purity standards required for the reforming reaction. After pretreatment, the main component of the natural gas, methane (CH4), is usually about 95%, and other impurities are controlled at a very low level, for example, the hydrogen sulfide content can be reduced to below ppm level, the carbon dioxide content is also greatly reduced, and the moisture is basically removed. The cost of this step accounts for about 10%.

[0010] The second step is the steam reforming reaction stage, the pretreated natural gas is mixed with steam and enters the reforming reactor. In the reactor, under the action of high temperature (usually 700-900°C) and catalyst, the steam reforming reaction of methane occurs. The main chemical equation of this reaction is: CH4+H2O→CO+H2. This reaction is carried out at a relatively low temperature of 200-500°C, and generally uses iron-based or ketone-based catalysts. After the steam reforming reaction, the hydrogen (H2) content in the gas is increased to 40%-60%, the carbon monoxide (CO) content is increased to 10%-20%, the carbon dioxide (CO2) content is increased to about 20%-30%, the methane (CH4) is reduced to 10-15%, and the steam (H2O) content is also adjusted accordingly. The cost of this step accounts for about 40-50%.

[0011] The third step is the water gas shift reaction, the gas mixture from the steam reforming reactor enters the water gas shift reaction. In this reaction, CO and H2O further react to form CO2 and H2 (CO+H2O→H2+CO2). The water gas shift reaction is usually carried out at a relatively low temperature (200-500°C), and generally uses iron-based or copper-based catalysts. This reaction is a reversible reaction, and the equilibrium and product composition of the reaction are adjusted by controlling the reaction temperature, pressure and reactant concentration. After the water gas shift reaction, the H2 content in the gas is further increased to 60-80%, the CO content is reduced to 5-10%, and the CO2 content is reduced to 18-25%. The cost of this step accounts for 10-15%.

[0012] The last stage is gas purification. The synthesis gas after the above reaction steps still contains a small amount of impurities, such as unreacted carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), etc. In order to meet the strict requirements of subsequent industrial applications for the purity of synthesis gas, gas purification is required to remove impurities. Common purification methods include pressure swing adsorption and membrane separation technologies. Through these methods, the purity of hydrogen can be increased to more than 99%, and carbon dioxide and other impurities can be separated out for recycling. The cost of this step accounts for about 20-30%.

[0013] As can be seen from the above, the production cost of high-purity hydrogen is significantly higher than that of crude hydrogen; and the use of high-purity hydrogen increases the cost of catalytic hydrogenation reactions in industry.

[0014] Chinese invention patent CN109896938B discloses a method for preparing 2,5-hexanedione. The method uses liquid acid and supported noble metal to coordinate catalytic biomass conversion to obtain 2,5-hexanedione. However, the liquid acid such as hydrochloric acid used in this technology still has problems of corrosion and recovery, and the use of noble metal catalyst also increases the cost of generating 2,5-hexanedione.

[0015] Chinese invention patent CN115259995B discloses a method for preparing vicinal diols by catalytic hydrogenolysis of lignocellulose. The method uses a magnetic metal catalyst wrapped in a graphene-like carbon shell, which efficiently converts lignocellulose into vicinal diols under specific reaction conditions (such as a reaction temperature of 120-220℃, a reaction time of 2-4 hours, and a hydrogen pressure of 5.5MPa). Although this technology can efficiently prepare diols, it requires a large amount of high-purity hydrogen, resulting in high production costs and making it difficult to industrialize. Moreover, high-purity hydrogen is required for hydrogenolysis of cellulose and even the entire biomass. SUMMARY

[0040] For a better understanding of the present application, the following further describes the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0041] The present application is mainly directed to the problem that high-purity hydrogen needs to be used in the hydrogenolysis process of cellulose and even biomass. In the current research and industry, all the hydrogenolysis processes of biomass need to use high-purity hydrogen, which greatly increases the industrial cost. Through the research on the hydrogenolysis reaction of cellulose under different reaction atmospheres, the present application finds that when a Pd / C supported catalyst is used to catalyze the hydrogenation reaction, the hydrogen source gas for providing hydrogen elements in the catalytic hydrogenation reaction contains CO and CO2, and the volume percentage of CO and CO2 can be in a very large range of 20% to 67%, and the Pd / C supported catalyst can efficiently catalyze the hydrogenolysis of cellulose to prepare ketone compounds. Specifically, the present application provides a method for preparing ketone compounds by catalytic hydrogenation of cellulose under a crude hydrogen atmosphere: taking cellulose as a raw material, water as a solvent, and activated carbon supported Pd as a catalyst, and reacting for 1-6 h under a total pressure of 0.5-4.0 MPa of a hydrogen source gas containing CO and CO2 and a temperature of 150-260℃ to obtain a product mainly containing ketone compounds; the hydrogen source gas containing CO and CO2 mainly consists of H2, CO and CO2, and the volume percentage of CO and CO2 is 20%-67%; and the Pd loading in the catalyst is 1-20wt%.

[0042] The present application uses crude hydrogen (containing CO and CO2) as a hydrogen source, and it is found that the hydrogen source containing CO and CO2 not only has no negative effect on the reaction, but also promotes the reaction:

[0043] (1) CO can inhibit excessive hydrogenation, avoid the hydrogenation of -C=O, and thus produce high-value ketone compounds with high selectivity, wherein the ketone compounds mainly include 2,5-hexanedione and 1-hydroxy-2-hexanone, etc.

[0044] (2) the solvent of the reaction system is water, CO2 will continue to react with water at high temperature to generate H2CO3, H2CO3 decomposes to produce H + (CO2(aq) + H2O → H2CO3 → H + + HCO3 - , providing acidic conditions for the reaction, promoting the hydrolysis reaction. Therefore, CO2 in the reaction atmosphere will promote the hydrolysis reaction, and CO in the reaction atmosphere will undergo WGSR with H2O to produce H2 and CO2, further promoting hydrogenolysis and hydrolysis reaction, thus increasing the yield of ketones in the product.

[0045] The main way of industrial hydrogen production is currently natural gas steam reforming, and the gas content of each step is shown in Table 1 above, so the industrial significance of using H2 containing CO and CO2 as the reaction atmosphere is to provide a wider selection for the reaction atmosphere of the industrialization of cellulose hydrogenolysis, thereby greatly reducing the industrialization cost. The main role of CO in the reaction is to inhibit excessive hydrogenation, because the CO2 produced by WGSR is not enough, so the hydrolysis reaction is not enough, therefore, the additional CO2 can make up for the shortage of CO2, which leads to insufficient hydrolysis reaction, compared with the best result of H2 / CO atmosphere, the ketone yield of H2 / CO / CO2 is obviously improved, 37.8 vs 42.5%.

[0046] The raw material of the reaction of the present application is cellulose, and the hydrogen source gas containing CO and CO2 directly or indirectly provides hydrogen species and acidic environment for the reaction. Cellulose is first reacted under hydrothermal conditions to generate glucose, which undergoes a multi-step reaction, including ring opening to generate 1-hydroxy-2-butanone (HB), hydrogenation deoxygenation to generate 1-hydroxy-2-hexanone (HHO), and isomerization to generate fructose. Fructose is dehydrated to generate 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and then a series of reactions such as hydrogenation, hydrolysis, etc. to generate 2,5-hexanedione and other products.

[0047] The preparation method of the active carbon supported Pd catalyst of the present application adopts liquid phase chemical reduction method, and ammonia is used as complexing agent to make Pd ions first form stable complex ions in liquid phase, and then reduced on carbon powder by reducing agent.

[0048] The reagents, materials, etc. used in the following examples are commonly used raw materials in the art, which can be obtained from commercial channels unless otherwise specified.

[0211] Table 2

[0212]

[0213]

[0214] As can be seen from Table 2, under the condition that the Pd loading amount of the application is 1-20wt%, the hydrogen source gas containing CO and CO2 mainly consists of H2, CO and CO2, and the volume percentage content of CO and CO2 is 20%-67%, the cellulose conversion rate and the yield of ketone compound of the examples are obviously higher than those of pure H2 and pure CO. Under different reaction atmospheres (the initial partial pressures of H2, CO and CO2 are 0-3.0 MPa respectively, and the total pressure is maintained at 3.0 MPa), it can be seen from Comparative Examples 1-2 and Examples 8-20 that under the pure H2 atmosphere, the conversion rate of cellulose is 75.9%, the yield of the non-main product alcohol is the highest 41.8%, and the yield of the ketone compound is only 5.6%. When the partial pressure of CO and CO2 is increased, the yield of the alcohol compound begins to decrease, and the yield of the ketone compound begins to increase. When H2 / CO / CO2 is 0.5 / 1.0 / 1.5 MPa, the yield of the ketone compound is 38.7%, which may be due to the fact that CO inhibits the excessive hydrogenation of C=O in the ketone compound to alcohol and the increased hydrolysis rate of CO2. When the partial pressure of CO or CO2 is continuously increased, the yields of the ketone compound and the alcohol compound begin to decrease, which may be due to the fact that H2 is insufficient, and too much CO is adsorbed on Pd, resulting in insufficient catalytic active sites and reduced hydrogenolysis / hydrogenation ability. When the reaction atmosphere is pure CO, the reaction effect is the worst. As can be seen by comparing the above examples and comparative examples, H2 plays an important role in the reaction, but CO, CO2 and H2 will play a synergistic effect to promote the conversion of cellulose and the generation of ketone compounds. The appropriate mixture of H2, CO and CO2 is helpful to improve the catalytic effect.

[0215] It should be noted that normal hydrogen source gases contain varying amounts of CO and CO2, as shown in Table 2. Most H2 is produced through a water-gas conversion reaction, and removing CO and CO2 is not easy, let alone completely eliminating them. This invention utilizes a supported Pd / C catalyst to perform catalytic hydrogenolysis in a non-pure hydrogen atmosphere containing CO and CO2. Furthermore, the hydrogen source gas in this invention exhibits a wide range of CO and CO2 content; the volume percentage of CO and CO2 in the reaction atmosphere ranges from 20% to 67%, achieving cellulose hydrogenolysis to ketone compounds. This effectively reduces reaction costs and yields higher cellulose conversion rates and ketone compound selectivity. This invention provides a feasible route for the efficient conversion of cellulose.

Any changes, modifications, combinations, simplifications, or equivalent substitutions made that violate the spirit and principle of the present invention are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
