AI Technical Summary
In the existing alcohol carbonylation reaction, catalyst design and process optimization are difficult. The β-H in the ethanol molecule easily triggers side reactions such as dehydrogenation and condensation, resulting in low reaction efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of catalyst application technology, and specifically relates to a heteropolyacid salt-supported metal-based catalyst X / Cs3MY 12 O 40 And its application in alcohol carbonylation to produce acid esters. Background Art
[0002] The carbonylation reaction of monohydric alcohol compounds is an important way to synthesize high value-added chemicals such as acetic acid, propionic acid and its esters, especially in the fields of medicine, pesticides and polymer materials. TM The production of acetic acid using the carbonylation process (e.g., Acetic acid: overview and market outlook, Indian Petrochem. Conf. (2014)) accounts for approximately 85% of total acetic acid production (K. Shah, Acetic acid: overview and market outlook, Indian Petrochem. Conf. (2014)). The carbonylation of ethanol, whose products (propionic acid or methyl propionate) also have significant economic benefits in the pharmaceutical and fragrance sectors, requires more stringent reaction conditions, and the presence of β-H in the ethanol molecule easily triggers side reactions such as dehydrogenation and condensation, further complicating catalyst design and process optimization.
[0003] In recent years, heterogeneous catalytic technology has attracted extensive attention from researchers due to its easy separation and recycling characteristics. In the process of alcohol carbonylation, ethanol and other C 2+ Alcohol carbonylation is particularly sensitive to catalyst acidity. Excessively strong acidity (e.g., on a Na13X zeolite support) can easily lead to alcohol dehydration to form byproducts such as olefins (Sara Yacob, Beata A. Kilos, David G.Barton, Justin M. Notestein, Vapor phase ethanol carbonylation over Rhsupported on zeolite 13X, Applied Catalysis A: General, 2016, 520, 122-131.). Insufficient acidity, on the other hand, can hinder the effective stabilization of the reaction intermediates, making it difficult for CO molecules to insert into the C-OH bond to form the target product, significantly reducing reaction efficiency.

[0039] The drugs used in the present invention are purchased from the open legal market and have not been further purified.
[0040] The design principles of the present invention are as follows: The present invention constructs a heterogeneous catalyst system for the carbonylation of metal-based monohydric alcohols supported by heteropolyacids, and uses heteropolyacids and cesium ions (Cs + ) combined to form a highly stable carrier: On the one hand, Cs + The electrostatic stabilization of the skeleton enhances its thermal stability. On the other hand, by adjusting the type of heteropoly anions and Cs + The degree of substitution precisely regulates the Brønsted acidity, inhibiting dehydration side reactions while retaining the ability to activate CO and alcohols. To address the defect that Rh requires HI to provide an acidic environment, this design highly disperses metallic Rh atoms on the support surface through an impregnation method, proposing a halogen-free green catalytic reaction system based on cesium heteropolyacids loaded with Rh single atoms.
[0041] This halogen-free green catalytic reaction system adopts an iodine-assisted pretreatment-reaction iodine-free strategy. First, a trace amount of iodide is used to induce Rh single atoms to disperse and anchor on the support surface, forming Rh-OW strong coordination active centers. With the help of Rh-OW strong coordination, Rh single atoms are anchored on the support surface, inhibiting the loss of metal Rh, forming stable active sites, and producing X / Cs3MY after iodide activation. 12 O 40 .
[0042] This halogen-free green catalytic reaction system does not require iodine ligands or HI to participate in the catalytic cycle, simultaneously suppresses dehydration side reactions, and achieves high activity and high stability in methanol / ethanol carbonylation under mild conditions. By pre-treating with iodine rather than directly adding iodine to the alcohol feed system, it avoids the iodine contamination, equipment corrosion, and deactivation problems of traditional processes, providing an innovative path for green chemical processes.
[0043] Advantages of the present invention: (1) The method provided by the present invention is the first to utilize cesium heteropolyacid salts loaded with transition metal-based heterogeneous catalysts for intermittent monohydric alcohol carbonylation reaction, thereby enhancing the activity and selectivity of the alcohol carbonylation reaction.
[0044] (2) The cesium heteropolyacid CsPW loaded metal Rh catalyst prepared by the present invention exhibits excellent reaction activity for alcohol carbonylation to carboxylic esters. The methanol carbonylation reaction rate can reach 2452 mol∙mol under the reaction conditions of 190 °C and 3.0 MPa. Rh -1 ∙h -1 , the performance is far superior to traditional industrial homogeneous catalysts; under the reaction conditions of 150 ℃ and 3.0 MPa, the ethanol carbonylation reaction rate can reach 41.1 mol∙mol Rh -1 ∙h -1 The performance can reach 40% of that of homogeneous catalysts. The catalyst provided by the present invention has excellent catalytic activity and stability, and a low Rh loading (≤0.6 wt.%), which can greatly reduce the cost of the alcohol carbonylation catalytic process and has industrial application prospects.
[0045] (3) Some scholars have applied Rh / cesium heteropolyacid salts to continuous ethanol carbonylation. However, there are many side reactions, which significantly affect the selectivity of carbonylation products (Park, Sunyoung, Kilos, et al. Vapor-phase ethanol carbonylation with heteropolyacid-supported Rh [J]. Journal of Catalysis, 2015.). Compared with the existing technology, the catalyst provided by the present invention can still catalyze the alcohol carbonylation reaction in the absence of iodine after being activated by iodide and CO in the reaction system.
[0046] This design uses X / Cs3MY after iodide activation. 12 O 40 Significantly different from traditional alcohol carbonylation systems that rely on the continuous addition of iodide, this innovative "iodine pretreatment activation-iodine-free reaction" strategy (i.e., Examples 10 and 10-1) not only avoids iodide-induced equipment corrosion but also enables alcohol carbonylation without iodine additives through the Rh-I active sites formed during pretreatment. This work, for the first time, proposes and verifies the sustained activity of a catalyst without a halogen additive, providing a new approach to green carbonylation processes and promising industrial applications with both high stability and simplified product separation.

The reactor was then purged with N2 three times and then with CO three times. Finally, CO was charged to a reaction pressure of 3.0 MPa, a reaction temperature of 150 °C, and a rotation speed of 500 r / min. The alcohol carbonylation reaction was then started to obtain Rh / CsPW after the alcohol carbonylation reaction.

Finally, CO was charged to 3.0 MPa. The reaction temperature was 150 °C, the reaction time was 8 h, and the rotation speed was 500 r / min. Then, the alcohol carbonylation reaction was started.

[0084] Table 4. Carbonylation reaction rates of the catalysts in Examples 10, 11 and Comparative Examples 1, 2 at 150°C and 3.0 MPa
[0085] The experimental data in Table 4 show that the 0.5 wt.% Rh / CsPW catalysts that underwent iodide pretreatment (i.e., Example 10 and Example 10-1) and the iodine-assisted carbonylation reaction followed by the intermittent alcohol carbonylation experiment without the iodine-assisted catalyst (i.e., Example 11 and Example 11-1) exhibited better catalytic performance in the carbonylation of alcohols. The carbonylation rates of Example 10 and Example 10-1, which were pretreated with iodide, reached 21.4 mmol·L -1 ·h -1 , which is much higher than the methods of Example 11 and Example 11-1.
[0086] When the alcohol carbonylation experiment without iodine additive was carried out directly without any treatment (i.e., Comparative Examples 1 and 2), the carbonylation rate of the methanol system was 3.1 mmol·L -1 ·h -1 , while the ethanol system is only 0.01 mmol·L -1 ·h -1 , which is almost negligible.
[0087] Example 12 Continuous carbonylation experiment without iodine promoter over Rh / CsPW catalyst after iodide pretreatment: 0.5 g of the prepared Rh / CsPW catalyst was added to a fixed bed continuous reactor, and then introduced into the reactor at a partial pressure ratio of CO:EtI:HI = 164:1:1 to perform iodide pretreatment to obtain the iodide-pretreated Rh / CsPW catalyst, wherein the activation temperature was 150 °C and the WHSV was 4.7 h -1 .
[0088] After the iodide pretreatment, the iodide-pretreated Rh / CsPW catalyst was obtained. CO and EtOH were introduced into the device at a partial pressure ratio of CO:EtOH = 16.4:1. Then, the reaction temperature was 150 °C and the WHSV was 4.7 h. -1 The alcohol carbonylation experiment without iodine auxiliary was carried out under the following conditions. Figure 2 .
[0089] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that only characteristic diffraction peaks of the support were observed for the Rh / cesium heteropolyacid catalysts (Rh / CsPW, Rh / CsSiW, Rh / CsPMo, and Rh / CsSiMo), with no obvious diffraction peaks characteristic of Rh particles detected. This indicates that the Rh-based catalysts prepared by the method provided herein exhibit highly dispersed Rh on the various heteropolyacid supports, with no apparent Rh particle aggregation.
[0090] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that in the first 4 h of the continuous reaction of the Rh / CsPW catalyst, only EtI, HI and CO were introduced, and it can be seen that only ethylene was detected at this time; EtOH and CO were then introduced into the fixed bed. It was observed that the catalyst, activated by EtI, HI, and CO, still had the ability to catalyze the carbonylation of ethanol in the absence of iodide. The ethanol conversion rate was approximately 1.8%, and the selectivity for the carbonylation product, ethyl propionate, reached approximately 80%.
