Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of catalysts, and in particular to a palladium / cobalt aluminum layered double hydroxide composite material, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not necessarily be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to those skilled in the art.

[0003] 2-Methyl-3-butene-2-ol, abbreviated as methylbutenol (MBE), is an important intermediate in the production of vitamins, carotenoids and other compounds. It is also used in the synthesis of high-efficiency and low-toxic pesticides such as pyrethroid insecticides, as well as rubber monomers and spices.

[0004] Currently, regarding the preparation method of 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol, the most commonly used method is to use acetone and acetylene as raw materials, and the two react to obtain 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (abbreviated as methylbutynol (MBY)), which is then semi-hydrogenated to obtain 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol.

[0005] In industry, the aforementioned semi-hydrogenation reaction is often catalyzed by Lindlar (Pd-Pb / CaCO3) catalysts due to their excellent selectivity for the semi-hydrogenation of alkynols. However, the use of Lindlar (Pd-Pb / CaCO3) catalysts has the following disadvantages, including the toxicity of lead, the necessity of adding quinoline to the reaction, and the instability of the calcium carbonate support, which leads to harmful and irreversible chemical transformations.

[0006] In recent years, heterogeneous noble metal catalysts such as Pd, Pt, and Rh have been developed for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes. Pd-based catalysts offer the best performance (it is generally believed that the adsorption strength of carbon-carbon triple bonds on the Pd surface is stronger than that of carbon-carbon double bonds). However, the high surface energy of Pd nanoparticles due to their nanoscale size effect makes them prone to agglomeration during the reaction. While monometallic Pd offers high conversion rates, it is also prone to side reactions such as overhydrogenation, resulting in low enolate yields. Therefore, an environmentally friendly catalyst with both high activity and selectivity is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0035] Example 2 Synthesis of palladium / cobalt aluminum layered double hydroxide composites: (1) 0.05 mol ammonium fluoride, 0.2 mol urea, 0.03 mol cobalt nitrate and 0.01 mol aluminum nitrate were dissolved in 100 mL deionized water and stirred for 30 min to form a uniform mixed solution. The mixed solution was transferred to a 150 mL reactor and subjected to hydrothermal reaction at 150 °C for 18 h. After the reaction, the reactor was naturally cooled to room temperature.

After testing, the palladium loading was 3%.

[0036] Example 3 Synthesis of palladium / cobalt aluminum layered double hydroxide composites: (1) 0.06 mol ammonium fluoride, 0.25 mol urea, 0.04 mol cobalt nitrate and 0.02 mol aluminum nitrate were dissolved in 120 mL deionized water and stirred for 40 min to form a uniform mixed solution. The mixed solution was transferred to a 180 mL reactor and subjected to hydrothermal reaction at 160 °C for 20 h. After the reaction, the reactor was naturally cooled to room temperature. The obtained product was centrifuged, washed with deionized water and ethanol four times each, and finally dried at 75 °C for 12 h to obtain cobalt aluminum layered double hydroxide nanosheets Co-Al LDH. (2) 6 g of the cobalt aluminum layered double hydroxide nanosheets prepared in step (1) were dispersed in 120 mL of deionized water to form a Co-Al LDH suspension; 0.3 g of palladium chloride was weighed and dissolved in 25 mL of deionized water to form a palladium salt solution; the palladium salt solution was slowly added dropwise to the Co-Al LDH suspension while stirring, and the addition time was 40 min; after the addition was completed, the stirring was continued for 3 h; then 0.15 g of sodium borohydride was added to the mixed system, and a reduction reaction was carried out at 40 °C for 2.5 h; after the reaction was completed, the product was centrifuged, washed with deionized water and ethanol three times each, and finally dried at 75 °C for 14 h to obtain a palladium / cobalt aluminum layered double hydroxide composite material. After testing, the palladium loading was 5%.

[0037] Comparative Example 1 0.05 mol ammonium fluoride, 0.2 mol urea, 0.03 mol cobalt nitrate, and 0.01 mol aluminum nitrate were dissolved in 100 mL of deionized water and stirred for 30 min to form a uniform mixed solution. The mixed solution was transferred to a 150 mL reactor and subjected to a hydrothermal reaction at 150 °C for 18 h. After the reaction, the reactor was naturally cooled to room temperature, and the obtained product was centrifuged, washed with deionized water and ethanol three times each, and finally dried at 70 °C for 12 h to obtain cobalt-aluminum layered double hydroxide nanosheets Co-Al LDH.

[0038] Comparative Example 2 Pd / Al2O3 prepared by traditional impregnation method: 6 g of Al2O3 powder was dispersed in 120 mL of deionized water to form an Al2O3 suspension. 0.3 g of palladium chloride was weighed and dissolved in 25 mL of deionized water to form a palladium salt solution. The palladium salt solution was slowly added dropwise to the Al2O3 suspension with stirring for 40 minutes. After the addition was complete, stirring was continued for 3 hours. 0.15 g of sodium borohydride was then added to the mixture, and a reduction reaction was carried out at 40°C for 2.5 hours. After the reaction, the product was centrifuged, washed three times with deionized water and ethanol, and finally dried at 75°C for 14 hours to obtain a Pd / Al2O3 composite material. Testing showed that the palladium loading was 4%.

[0039] Experimental Example 1 The palladium / cobalt aluminum layered double hydroxide composite materials prepared in Examples 1 to 3, and the materials in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 were respectively used as catalysts to catalyze the hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol to 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol.

[0040] The reaction synthesis conditions are: 25 g of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol was dispersed in 120 mL of ethanol, 1.2 g of catalyst was added, and hydrogen (pressure 1.2 MPa) was passed through at 80 °C for 4 h. After the reaction, the reaction product was detected by gas chromatography.

[0041] The results are shown in Table 1. As can be seen from Table 1, the palladium / cobalt aluminum layered double hydroxide composite material prepared in Example 1 exhibits optimal catalytic performance, with a conversion of 91.30% for 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol and a selectivity of 92.30% for the target product, 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol. In Examples 1 to 3, a Pd loading of 3% resulted in insufficient active sites, leading to a low conversion rate. At a Pd loading of 5%, Pd particles easily agglomerated, reducing dispersion. Although the conversion rate was slightly higher, selectivity decreased. Excessive Pd loadings resulted in overcrowding of active sites on the catalyst surface, making it prone to excessive hydrogenation or other side reactions during adsorption and reaction of reactant molecules on the catalyst surface. A Pd loading of 4% provided the optimal number of active sites and dispersion, ensuring efficient hydrogenation while suppressing side reactions.

[0042] In Comparative Example 1, the layered double hydroxide nanosheets alone had almost no catalytic effect.

[0043] Catalytic performance of the catalyst prepared in Comparative Example 2: the conversion rate of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol was 65.6%, and the selectivity of the target product 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol was 60.9%.

[0044] The above results show that the palladium / cobalt aluminum layered double hydroxide composite material not only exhibits high catalytic activity but also high selectivity when catalyzing the hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol to methyl-3-butene-2-ol. This is because the layered double hydroxide nanosheets, due to their unique layered structure, can prevent the agglomeration of Pd nanoparticles, while also accelerating the mass transfer efficiency between 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol and hydrogen, reducing the residence time of 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol and hydrogen, and thus improving selectivity.
