Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of material preparation and environmental catalysis, and particularly relates to a multifunctional copper-based composite catalyst, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] H2S is a typical inorganic sulfur gas with a colorless and pungent "rotten egg" odor, and has extremely strong toxicity, corrosiveness, flammability and explosiveness. A large amount of H2S gas is emitted in industrial processes such as crude oil hydrogenation, coal and biomass gasification, natural gas processing, sewage treatment and landfill. H2S existing in gaseous or liquid form will not only corrode pipelines and equipment, but also cause harm to the health of humans, animals and plants. In addition, H2S present in the atmosphere will be oxidized into SO2, which will further cause acid rain and haze pollution. The Claus process is a mature process for recovering sulfur by oxidizing H2S. The reaction process is restricted by thermodynamics, so there is still 3%-5% of H2S remaining in the tail gas. On the other hand, this process can only catalytically convert H2S into elemental sulfur with relatively low added value, and the hydrogen-containing element is converted into H2O and discharged as wastewater, which not only pollutes the environment, but also wastes a large amount of valuable hydrogen resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a green new technology for atomically economical utilization of H2S and realize its clean and highly valuable utilization. If H2S is used as a raw material for both hydrogen and sulfur at the same time, a new chemical reaction system and a suitable new type of high-efficiency catalyst are constructed to efficiently utilize each atom in H2S to synthesize high-added-value chemicals, and simultaneously realize the efficient removal of H2S and the highly valuable utilization of H2S. The key to implementing this idea lies in constructing a new and effective chemical reaction system and designing and synthesizing a stable and high-efficiency catalyst.
[0003] Thioamides and their derivatives are widely used in the fields of organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. Such compounds mainly exist in heterocyclic compounds, natural products and bioactive compounds. In addition, it is also an important industrial raw material and pharmaceutical intermediate with high application value. At present, several schemes for obtaining thioamide compounds have been reported, including the Willgerodt-Kindler (WK) reaction, the reaction between amides and phosphorus pentasulfide or Lawesson's reagent, the reaction between alcohols and sulfur sources, and the three-component reaction system composed of carboxylic acids, sulfur and amines, but the reaction yields are low. Using H2S as a "sulfur donor" and a "hydrogen donor", and through a chemical conversion reaction with aryl nitrile groups, a new process route for atomically economical utilization of H2S to synthesize thioamide chemicals with high chemical value, and efficiently removing H2S from the source and highly valuable utilization of H2S has potential application value. And how to construct a catalyst system with new structures and high performance has become the key to the atomic economical utilization and highly valuable utilization of H2S.
[0004] Numerous metal oxides and carbon materials have been applied as catalysts for H2S catalytic conversion. However, the strong oxidizing property of conventional metal oxide materials easily promotes the formation of sulfates in the reaction system, leading to the deactivation of the catalyst due to salt deposition on the catalyst surface. Non-metal catalysts represented by carbon-based catalysts have low intrinsic activity in the H2S catalytic reaction, which is not conducive to the resource utilization of H2S. It is worth mentioning that B and N can form strong covalent bonds with C, thus generating boron-doped carbon nitride materials with light mass and thermodynamic stability. There are four chemical bonds, namely C-N, B-N, B-B, and B-C, in the BCN framework, which is conducive to electron transfer. In addition, the unique properties of BCN can serve as a good support material. The introduction of N is likely to cause lattice distortion and increase active sites, which is beneficial to the adsorption and activation of reaction molecules. More importantly, N can serve as an anchoring point for metals to form strongly coupled M-Nx centers. As a transition metal element, Cu has a unique electronic structure with multiple valence states such as 0, +1, and +2. Copper in different valence states plays different roles in different catalytic reactions, providing more possibilities for the design and regulation of catalysts. Therefore, how to optimize the preparation process of the BCN-supported metal catalyst, make the supported metal disperse evenly, and form metal-N or metal-B coordination bonds to anchor the metal, so as to obtain a Cu / BCN composite material with unique structural and electronic properties, making it have excellent physical and chemical properties such as nucleophilicity, Lewis / Bronsted basicity, adsorption and activation of various small molecules, etc., is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0008] Further, in step a, the heating temperature is 60 °C, the stirring speed is 600 r·min -1 , and the stirring time is 12 h; the copper salt is copper nitrate hexahydrate, and the molar ratio of the copper salt to phthalocyanine is 1:2.
[0009] Further, in step b, the molar ratio of the nitrogen source, boron source, carbon source, and copper complex is 10:0.9:0.1:0.5.

[0018] 4. By introducing Cu metal elements, the present invention innovatively synthesizes a Cu / BCN catalyst. Compared with a single M-N coordination structure, the Cu / BCN catalyst forms a co-coordination structure of Cu and N.

As Figure 6 shown in (a), an interpenetrating two-dimensional carbon nanosheet structure is presented, while the interpenetrating two-dimensional carbon nanosheet structure cannot be obtained at the ratio of Example 7. Therefore, its conversion rate of benzonitrile and selectivity of thiobenzamide are lower than those of Example 2, but still better than those of the comparative example.
[0055] Figure 7 N2-sorption curves of the BCN-supported atomically dispersed Cu metal catalytic materials prepared for Examples 1-7. The results show that the samples are type isotherm curves and have an H3-type hysteresis loop, proving that Cu / BCN-800 has a mesoporous structure with a specific surface area of 724.0 m 2 ·g -1 .
[0056] Figure 8 Pore size distribution diagrams of the BCN-supported atomic Cu metal catalytic materials prepared for Examples 1-7. As Figure 8 shown, the BJH pore size distribution of Example 2 is in the range of 3.5 - 6.6 nm.
[0057] Figure 9 XPS spectra of the BCN-supported atomically dispersed Cu metal catalytic materials prepared for Example 2. According to ICP tests, the copper content of the catalyst prepared in Example 2 is 0.7%. As Figure 9 shown in (a), the Cu 2p spectrum shows two peaks at 932.4 eV and 952.2 eV, corresponding to Cu 0 , and at 934.8 eV and 954.7 eV corresponding to Cu + , which is also confirmed by the satellite peak at 943.7 eV. The B 1s spectrum in (b) shows two peaks at 190.7 eV and 191.8 eV, which are characteristic of B−N−C and B−O bonds. The peak at 284.8 eV in the C 1s spectrum of (c) is related to sp 2 C-C and C-O bonds, while the peaks at 285.9 eV and 288.4 eV are related to C-N and C-O bonds. The N 1s spectrum in (d) fits two peaks at 398.5 eV and 399.8 eV, which are attributed to C-N and Cu-N respectively. Combining the above, it shows that the Cu element is mainly anchored on the BCN material in the form of coordination with N, which is consistent with the design goal.
[0058] Figure 10XAS spectrum of the BCN-supported atomically dispersed Cu metal catalyst prepared in Example 2. It can be found from the XANES spectrum in Figure a that the Cu absorption edge of Example 2 is close to that of Cu2O, indicating that the valence state of Cu mainly exists in the form of +1. It can be found from the EXAFS spectrum in Figure b that there is no signal peak attributed to the Cu-Cu bond at 2.2 Å and 4.1 Å in Example 2, while there is an obvious signal peak attributed to the Cu-N bond at 1.5 Å, indicating that Cu exists in the form of Cu-N coordination and there is no phenomenon of Cu atom aggregation.
[0059] In summary, the BCN-supported atomically dispersed Cu metal catalysts prepared at different calcination temperatures have different catalytic performances in the catalytic reaction of the nucleophilic addition of H2S to benzonitrile to produce thiobenzamide. Among them, Cu / BCN-800 has the highest catalytic activity. It has an interpenetrating nanosheet morphology, a large specific surface area, and contains a small amount of metallic Cu, which can effectively catalyze the reaction of the nucleophilic addition of H2S to benzonitrile to produce thiobenzamide, and has great application potential.
