Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a CeO2-loaded bimetallic catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of chemical catalysts. Background Art

[0002] Succinic anhydride, also known as succinic anhydride, has the molecular formula C4H4O3. It is an important organic synthesis intermediate and fine chemical raw material, widely used in polyester, coatings, plastics, medicine, agriculture, food, surfactants, dyes and other industrial fields.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for producing succinic anhydride include the succinic acid dehydration method and the maleic anhydride hydrogenation method. The succinic acid dehydration method involves heating succinic acid (boiling point 235°C) to dehydrate it under the catalysis of acetyl chloride, acetic anhydride, phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus pentoxide, and the like to produce succinic anhydride. However, this method has the disadvantages of harsh reaction conditions, high production costs, and low product yields (85%-94%). Furthermore, the succinic anhydride is easily carbonized during the production process, making the process difficult to control.

[0004] Maleic anhydride hydrogenation method is divided into the melting method and the solvent dissolution catalytic method (heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation method). The melting method does not require the addition of solvents, avoiding the consequences of using solvents that make product purification difficult and environmental pollution. However, the screening of catalyst systems and the control of reaction conditions in the melting method are technical difficulties in the hydrogenation reaction.

[0005] The heterogeneous catalytic method involves dissolving maleic anhydride in a solvent for catalytic hydrogenation. This method offers advantages such as simplicity, easy and controllable operation, low operating costs, and high product purity. It is currently a widely used industrial process for producing succinic anhydride.

[0006] Maleic anhydride molecules have one C=C and two C=O functional groups. Under certain catalytic conditions, both C=C and C=O can undergo hydrogenation reactions, but only C=C hydrogenation can produce the target product, succinic anhydride. If both C=C and C=O undergo hydrogenation reactions, the deep hydrogenation products of succinic anhydride, γ-butyrolactone (GBL) or tetrahydrofuran, can be obtained, thereby reducing the selectivity of the target product, succinic anhydride.

[0007] Therefore, the key to achieving highly selective hydrogenation of maleic anhydride to produce succinic anhydride lies in the design of a highly stable and selective catalyst that controls the reaction to the C=C double bond hydrogenation stage. Currently, the hydrogenation catalyst systems used for hydrogenation of maleic anhydride to produce succinic anhydride mainly include precious metal, copper-based, and nickel-based catalysts.

[0008] European Patent EP 0691335 discloses a method for preparing succinic anhydride by catalytic hydrogenation of maleic anhydride in the presence of a solvent. Using a Pd-based precious metal catalyst with a Pd content of 2% to 10%, and under H2 pressures of 4.0 MPa to 6.0 MPa, the yield of succinic anhydride can reach 90% to 95%. However, the catalyst has poor stability and high production costs, making industrialization difficult.

[0009] Chinese patent CN 101502802 A discloses a nickel-based catalyst with a nickel content of 13-20 wt% and a promoter content of 1%-7 wt%. It is used to hydrogenate maleic anhydride to produce succinic anhydride on a fixed bed. However, this reaction system requires high hydrogen pressure, imposes high requirements on reaction equipment, and has high production costs, making it difficult to apply in industrial applications.

[0010] U.S. Patents US 5952514 and US 5770744 disclose a catalyst formed by pressing iron and inert elements such as aluminum, silicon, titanium or iron, cobalt, nickel and carbon alloy powder for catalytic hydrogenation of maleic anhydride to prepare succinic anhydride. When the reaction temperature is 60 ℃ to 180 ℃ and the hydrogen pressure is 38 MPa, the maleic anhydride conversion is 99% and the selectivity of succinic anhydride is 98%. This process provides a method for continuously producing succinic anhydride, but the reaction conditions are harsh (hydrogen pressure is 38 MPa), and the setting and material of the reactor need to be specially required. In the catalyst, the active component content is greater than 60%, and the catalyst cost is high, which limits its large-scale application.

[0011] Chinese Patent CN 03122336.2 discloses a process for preparing succinic anhydride by hydrogenating maleic anhydride using nickel as the active component. The molar ratio of nickel, the active component, to the support is Ni:SiO2:Al2O3 = 1:(1.47-5.98):(0-3.3). The catalyst can catalyze the hydrogenation of maleic anhydride to produce succinic anhydride both in the absence of a solvent and in the presence of a solvent. The catalyst has a reduction temperature of 400°C-580°C, a reaction temperature of 120°C-180°C, a reaction time of 1-3 hours, a nickel-to-maleic anhydride molar ratio of (0.30-1.6):100, and a hydrogen pressure of 0.5 MPa-3 MPa. This catalyst uses nickel as the active component and SiO2 and Al2O3 as supports. The catalyst has acidic centers, and the reaction temperature is high during maleic anhydride hydrogenation, leading to maleic anhydride polymerization, resulting in a high product color. Furthermore, the catalyst exhibits poor stability in high-temperature, strongly acidic environments.

[0012] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a CeO2-loaded bimetallic catalyst and its preparation method and application to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0024] In some embodiments, the calcination process is carried out in air or an inert atmosphere (N2, Ar), preferably in air, with a heating rate of 1-5°C / min.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly apparent, the present invention is described below using specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concepts of the present invention.

[0036] In view of the problems in the prior art of catalyzing the liquid-phase selective hydrogenation of maleic anhydride to produce succinic anhydride, such as complex preparation, high cost, harsh reaction conditions, difficulty in recovery, low efficiency, low selectivity and low stability, the present invention provides a CeO2-supported bimetallic catalyst, referred to as NiM / CeO2, which includes a CeO2 support and an active metal supported on the CeO2 support (wherein M represents a specific second active metal element).

[0092] In the present invention, the CeO2 carrier is cheap and stable. The present invention preferably uses a flaky CeO2 carrier with a large specific surface area, which can provide more metal growth binding sites, making it easier to form active metal particles later.

[0093] Excessive loading of the active metal can cause it to aggregate, reducing its effective catalytic area and hindering subsequent practical applications. Therefore, in the present invention, based on the mass of the CeO2 carrier as 100%, the loading of the first active metal Ni is 5-20wt%, preferably 10-15wt%, and the loading of the second active metal is 1-10wt%, preferably 3-7wt%. The present invention does not particularly limit the ratio of the first active metal to the second active metal particles, as long as the above loading range is met.

[0094] In the present invention, the above-mentioned active metal particles can be evenly dispersed and are not easily aggregated. The catalyst has the advantages of high reaction activity, good selectivity, and strong stability in the selective catalytic liquid-phase hydrogenation reaction of maleic anhydride due to its special and stable coordination environment and the synergistic effect between the loaded bimetallic particles.

[0095] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, as long as the technical solutions are not contradictory, they can be permuted and combined. Those skilled in the art can exhaust all possibilities based on the mathematical knowledge of permutations and combinations. Therefore, the present invention will no longer describe the technical solutions after permutations and combinations one by one, but it should be understood that the technical solutions after permutations and combinations have been disclosed by the present invention.

[0096] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
