Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical engineering, and in particular to a preparation method of a supported tin-based monometallic and bimetallic catalyst and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Lactic acid is a versatile molecule with hydroxyl and carboxyl groups that is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. The global demand for lactic acid has increased significantly over the past few years and will continue to grow, especially due to its successful application as a monomer in the production of bioplastics (polylactic acid). The catalytic conversion of carbohydrates into lactic acid is currently one of the most promising pathways, due to the abundance of renewable biomass resources and the easy availability of catalysts suitable for large-scale industrial applications.
[0003] Sn-Beta is considered to be a representative catalyst for the conversion of glucose to lactic acid, in which the Lewis acidic tin sites are particularly effective for cascade reactions such as glucose isomerization, retro-aldol condensation of fructose, dehydration of dihydroxyacetone, and rehydration of methylglyoxal to produce lactic acid. Although Sn-Beta exhibits good catalytic performance in the production of lactic acid, the direct addition of tin to the molecular sieve framework during the hydrothermal synthesis process is cumbersome and time-consuming. This is due to the need to add tin precursors to the gel when synthesizing Beta zeolite molecular sieves, which largely hinders the nucleation and crystal growth processes, resulting in prolonged synthesis time (up to 40 days). On the other hand, how to obtain a large number of isolated active sites without forming tin oxides remains a challenge.
[0004] The post-synthesis method has attracted widespread attention because of its relatively short synthesis time and the absence of harmful reagents such as hydrofluoric acid. In general, this process can be described as first removing the metal from the original zeolite framework and then adding tin cations to the vacant zeolite framework to form more open tin sites [(HO)-Sn-(OSi) 3 ], these sites have higher activity, which can promote the isomerization and retro-aldol condensation of sugars. However, this is usually accompanied by the formation of more Si-OH defects because tin cannot fully occupy the vacancies, resulting in the formation of Brønsted acid sites and causing side reactions. Some studies have used the addition of alkali to [1] / Alkaline Earth Metals [2] or metal ions [3,4] To stabilize the open tin sites, however, there are some defects such as low lactic acid / methyl lactate yield or long catalyst synthesis time.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this paper proposes a preparation method and application of a supported tin-based mono- and bimetallic catalyst. Summary of the invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tin-based molecular sieve catalyst with a simple preparation method and strong reusability, so as to realize the efficient and green preparation of lactic acid from sugars.
[0007] In order to achieve the above technical effects, the present invention is implemented by the following technical scheme: A method for preparing a supported tin-based single and double metal catalyst, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
[0008] S1, dealuminizing the commercial Al-β zeolite at a ratio of 20 mL of concentrated nitric acid solution per gram of commercial Al-β zeolite;
[0009] S2. Use a Buchner funnel and a water pump to filter the dealuminated zeolite, and wash it with deionized water until the pH value of the filtrate is neutral. Collect the dealuminated zeolite on the Buchner funnel filter paper, and then dry it at 100° C. until it is dry.
[0010] S3, loading the dried dealuminated zeolite with metal to obtain an initial catalyst body;
[0011] S4. The obtained catalyst precursor is calcined to prepare a supported tin-based monometallic and bimetallic catalyst.
[0012] Furthermore, in S1, the dealumination treatment step is as follows: 10 g of zeolite molecular sieve is put into a round-bottom flask, and then 100 mL of concentrated nitric acid solution is added, and a reaction reflux device is installed in an oil bath at 90-110° C. to carry out dealumination operation for 10 hours;
[0013] Furthermore, in S1, the concentration of the concentrated nitric acid solution is 65-68%.
[0014] Furthermore, in S3, the step of loading the dealuminated molecular sieve with a metal is as follows: a dried dealuminated β molecular sieve zeolite carrier is taken, tin tetrachloride is used as a base, and tin tetrachloride and chromium chloride, indium chloride, niobium oxalate, magnesium chloride, ammonium tungstate and ammonium heptamolybdate metal salts are used as precursors, and an initial impregnation method is used to prepare a metal-loaded β molecular sieve zeolite catalyst to prepare an initial catalyst body.
[0015] Furthermore, in S4, the heating rate in the muffle furnace is 2°C / min.
[0016] Another object of the present invention is to provide an application of a supported tin-based single and double metal catalyst, characterized in that the supported tin-based single and double metal catalyst is used in catalyzing the preparation of lactic acid from glucose.
[0017] Further, the steps of preparing lactic acid by catalyzing glucose with a supported tin-based single and bimetallic catalyst are as follows:
[0018] A. Take 80-360 mg of glucose and add it to 10 mL of deionized water solvent to prepare an initial reaction substrate system with different concentration gradients;
[0019] B. Place the initial reaction substrate system in a closed high-temperature and high-pressure reactor and fill it with 0.5 MPa of N 2 , heat and stir at 110-160°C for 15-540 min to carry out the reaction of converting glucose into lactic acid.
[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
