Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium batteries, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a method for preparing 1,3-propanediol. Background Art

[0002] 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) is the most important aliphatic diol, mainly used in the synthesis of plasticizers, detergents, preservatives, and emulsifiers, and also used in industries such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Its most important use is as a polymer monomer to synthesize high-performance polymer materials. It can not only endow polyester plastics with biodegradable characteristics of natural circulation, but also is an important monomer raw material for manufacturing the novel polyester fiber polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) with excellent performance, and can replace ethylene glycol and butanediol to produce polyol polyesters.

[0003] In the Chinese patent with the patent application number CN200810186614.8, a catalyst and process method for preparing 1,3-propanediol by one-step catalytic conversion of glycerol were proposed. A copper-based hydrogenation catalyst was used. After the glycerol raw material was vaporized, the steam was mixed and diluted with hydrogen, and continuously entered a fixed-bed reactor. The reaction was carried out under the reaction conditions of a reaction temperature of 190 - 240°C and a pressure of 0.1 - 0.54 MPa to produce 1,3-propanediol. However, the high reaction temperature caused many side reactions, and the energy consumption required for glycerol vaporization was large. The reaction space velocity of glycerol was low, and at the same time, the product selectivity was low, the yield of 1,3-propanediol was not ideal, and the selectivity of 1,3-propanediol was low.

[0004] In the Chinese patent with the patent application number CN202110820284.9, a method for preparing 1,3-propanediol was proposed. The preparation method includes: dehydrating and hydrogenating bioglycerol and hydrogen under the action of a catalyst to obtain a 1,3-propanediol system. Among them, the catalyst is a Pt / WO3ZrO2MOx catalyst, and MOx is TiO2 or a mixture of TiO2 and Al2O3. The dehydrating and hydrogenating reaction is carried out under the reaction conditions of a temperature of 120 - 180°C and a mass space velocity of bioglycerol of 0.3 - 1.5 h-1 to produce 1,3-propanediol. However, the prepared 1,3-propanediol has poor electrical conductivity and thermal stability.

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a method for preparing 1,3-propanediol to solve the problems of the existing 1,3-propanediol preparation methods, including the unsatisfactory yield of 1,3-propanediol, low selectivity of 1,3-propanediol, and poor electrical conductivity and thermal stability of the prepared 1,3-propanediol.
