Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the preparation of high-value-added chemicals by catalytic hydrogenolysis of lignin, and specifically to a method for preparing high-value-added chemicals by catalytic hydrogenolysis of lignin using a catalyst modified by a nitrogen-doped carbon carrier loaded with ruthenium using silicon dioxide as a pore-forming agent. The invention belongs to the field of high-value utilization of renewable biomass. Background Art

[0002] The technological revolution based on fossil energy has driven the rapid development of human civilization. However, excessive consumption of fossil resources has led to the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases, causing global warming and environmental pollution. This has led to increasing interest in the production of liquid biofuels, chemicals, and syngas from lignocellulosic biomass, a carbon-neutral, renewable, and abundant raw material. Therefore, the innovative and effective utilization of renewable resources is of great significance to future sustainable development.

[0003] Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant naturally renewable source of organic carbon. Composed primarily of three components (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin), it is considered a promising alternative to fossil fuels, offering numerous advantages, including availability and carbon neutrality. Lignin, its primary component, is a natural polymer composed primarily of syringyl (S), guaiacyl (G), and p-hydroxyphenyl (H) units, along with their derivatives, linked by C-O and C-C bonds. It accounts for 15%–30% of the mass and approximately 40% of the energy of lignocellulosic biomass. Lignin possesses advantages such as a rich aromatic base and high carbon content. Through thermochemical conversion, it can be depolymerized into aromatic compounds, biofuels, and light aromatic hydrocarbons. However, lignin's complex and dense structure makes it difficult to depolymerize selectively into monomeric products.

[0004] At present, the commonly used depolymerization methods for lignin include high-temperature thermal depolymerization, reduction depolymerization, oxidative depolymerization, acid (base) catalytic depolymerization, etc. Among the various catalytic depolymerization technologies, the catalytic reduction depolymerization technology of lignin has attracted widespread attention because of its relatively mild reaction conditions and relatively concentrated distribution of depolymerization products. Lignin has the characteristics of large molecular weight and complex spatial structure. The adaptive carrier pore structure can improve the depolymerization effect of lignin. Carbon materials have the advantages of wide sources, developed pore structure, large specific surface area, and strong adsorption capacity. They are commonly used catalyst carriers in the study of catalytic lignin hydrogenolysis. Introducing nitrogen atoms into the carbon lattice can promote the interaction between the carbon structure and metal particles, enhance the dispersion of active metals, and have high thermal aggregation and leaching stability. In addition, nitrogen doping can also change the acid-base properties of the carrier surface and improve the catalytic activity of the catalyst. It has broad application prospects in various catalytic fields.

[0005] Monophenol products mainly include: They are raw materials for making spices and seasonings, important food additives, and crucial organic synthesis intermediates for a variety of fine chemicals. Currently, the preparation of aromatic hydrocarbons primarily relies on petrochemical routes, which have drawbacks such as harsh conditions, cumbersome procedures, and environmental unfriendliness. Biomass aromatic hydrocarbons, on the other hand, are an important form of renewable, green, clean, and recyclable biomass energy.

[0006] Chinese invention patent CN118439931A discloses the use of a nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped carbon material to catalyze the hydrogenolysis of lignin to produce aromatic hydrocarbon compounds. This application includes the following steps: 1) mixing lignin with a first solvent, transferring the mixture to a hydrothermal reactor, reacting, filtering, rotary evaporating, and drying to obtain treated lignin; 2) adding the nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped carbon material and treated lignin to a high-pressure reactor, adding a second solvent, introducing hydrogen, and heating to react for 10-12 hours; cooling to room temperature; filtering, separating the liquid, and extracting and separating the aromatic hydrocarbon compounds. However, the catalyst used in this technology has a long catalytic reaction time and cumbersome reaction steps. Furthermore, the ethanol / 1,4-dioxane system used in this technology is environmentally polluting.

[0007] Chinese invention patent CN118106001A discloses a zirconium phosphate-supported ruthenium-based catalyst, its preparation method, and its application in catalyzing the hydrogenolysis of lignin. This invention is based on the in-situ reduction of needle-shaped ruthenium oxide supported on amorphous zirconium phosphate to generate elemental ruthenium, constructing a Ru@RuO2 / zirconium phosphate composite nanomaterial. This material can efficiently catalyze the hydrogenolysis of dealkalized lignin and model compounds such as α-O-4 and 4-O-5. The ruthenium nanoparticles generated by in-situ reduction on ruthenium oxide exhibit high stability and can be reused multiple times. However, the hydrothermal reaction in the preparation of this technology catalyst requires 20-30 hours, the preparation process is relatively cumbersome, and the reaction time is as long as 10 hours. The yield of single benzenes is only 23.9%.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method for preparing monophenol products by efficient catalytic hydrogenation using lignin, a renewable carbon resource, as raw material, which is low-pollution, simple to prepare, and recyclable. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Preferably, the organic soluble lignin is extracted by the following method: adding the lignin raw material and the extract to a reactor, reacting at 100~120°C for 2~6 hours, and then filtering and separating; adding deionized water to the obtained filtrate and filtering to obtain a solid, and drying to obtain the organic soluble lignin; the extract is composed of a mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid, anhydrous ethanol and deionized water, wherein the mass concentration of concentrated sulfuric acid is 95~98%, and 3200~4000 mL of anhydrous ethanol and 800~1000 mL of deionized water are added to every 24 g of concentrated sulfuric acid; 120~150 mL of the extract is added to every 10 g of lignin raw material.

[0041] In order to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0042] The phenolic product of the present invention is one or more of 4-propyl syringol, 4-propyl guaiacol, 4-ethyl syringol, 4-ethyl guaiacol and 4-ethylphenol.

[0043] The short-chain monohydric alcohols of the present invention, due to their inherent hydroxyl groups, are excellent hydrogen donors. They also promote hydrogen exchange between the solvent and H₂, facilitating the cleavage of CO bonds in lignin. More importantly, the modified nitrogen-doped carbon support-supported ruthenium catalyst used in the present invention comprises a nitrogen-doped carbon support NC-X and an active component, ruthenium, wherein the ruthenium loading is 1-9 wt.%. The "X" in the support NC-X represents the nitrogen doping level, which is 5-25 mol%. The ruthenium loading of 1-9 wt.% refers to 1-9 wt.% of the total catalyst mass made up of Ru, with the remainder being 91-99 wt.% of the support. The nitrogen incorporation level in the support NC-X is the ratio of the molar amount of N to the molar amount of C. The nitrogen-doped carbon support of this modified nitrogen-doped carbon support-supported ruthenium catalyst has its mesopores increased by the addition of a pore-forming agent. The pore-forming agent is selected from SiO2, Al2O3, K2C2O4, or SBA-15. The addition of the pore-forming agent modulates the catalyst's pore structure, increasing the mesopores. Adjusting the mesopores to an appropriate level greatly facilitates mass transfer of large molecular lignin. Furthermore, the catalyst can also adjust the acidity and alkalinity of the catalyst by adjusting the nitrogen-carbon ratio of the support, further improving its catalytic performance in lignin hydrogenolysis. Specifically, the method for selectively hydrogenating lignin using the modified nitrogen-doped carbon support-supported ruthenium catalyst of the present invention uses lignin as a raw material. After adding a Ru / NC catalyst and an alcohol solvent to the raw material, the reaction conditions are controlled to: H2 pressure of 1-3 MPa, reaction temperature of 240-280°C, and reaction time of 2-6 hours. Lignin can be selectively hydrogenated to produce monophenolic products. Preferably, the short-chain monohydric alcohol of the present invention can be any of methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol.

[0044] The preferred preparation method of the modified nitrogen-doped carbon carrier-supported ruthenium catalyst of the present invention is: ruthenium acetylacetonate (C 15 H 21 O6Ru) or hydrated ruthenium trichloride is fully dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dichloromethane, or acetone, and then impregnated with a nitrogen-doped carbon support. After impregnation for 20-24 hours, the support is dried in an oven to obtain a precursor. The precursor is then reduced under a H2 atmosphere to yield a ruthenium-based catalyst. The nitrogen-doped carbon support is prepared by thoroughly stirring glucose, melamine, and a pore-forming agent (SiO2, Al2O3, K2C2O4, SBA-15) in a deionized water solution, rotary evaporating, and drying. The resulting solid mixture is placed in a quartz boat, calcined in nitrogen, and washed with alkali to obtain the support NC-X. This calcination is performed in a tube furnace. The calcination temperature, time, carbon source, nitrogen source, and amount of pore-forming agent added can be determined experimentally by those skilled in the art based on the objectives of the invention.

[0045] The lignin extraction method of the present invention is basically a method already disclosed in the prior art. Specifically, the lignin raw material and the extract are added to a reactor, reacted at 100-120°C for 2-6 hours, and then filtered and separated. The resulting filtrate is added with deionized water and filtered to obtain a solid, which is then dried to obtain an organosoluble lignin. The extract is composed of a mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid, anhydrous ethanol, and deionized water. The mass concentration of the concentrated sulfuric acid is 95%-98%, and 3200-4000 mL of anhydrous ethanol and 800-1000 mL of deionized water are added to every 24 g of concentrated sulfuric acid. 120-150 mL of the extract is added to every 10 g of lignin raw material. The lignin raw material is preferably derived from any one of bagasse, corn cob, poplar, and bamboo. The mass ratio of lignin to catalyst is preferably controlled to be 1:0.5-1:1.5.

[0046] This invention addresses the current challenges of lignin hydrogenolysis, including low conversion, low selectivity, harsh reaction conditions, and complex reaction steps. By using a modified nitrogen-doped carbon support-supported ruthenium catalyst and a short-chain monohydric alcohol as solvent, the process achieves efficient lignin depolymerization under conditions of a hydrogen pressure of 1-3 MPa and a temperature of 240-280°C for 2-6 hours. This method achieves a lignin conversion rate of 80.90%-95.70%, and a total product yield of 18.19%-33.22%, including a total yield of phenolic products of 14.06%-27.23%. This method achieves efficient lignin hydrogenolysis under mild reaction conditions.

[0047] Example 1: Preparation of 5Ru / NC-10 (SiO2) catalyst

[0048] The preparation of nitrogen-doped carbon-supported ruthenium catalyst 5Ru / NC-10 was achieved by a two-step process:

[0049] (1) Preparation of nitrogen-doped carbon support NC-10: Weigh 2 g of glucose (C6H 12 O6), 14 g melamine (C3H6N6), and 1 g silica (SiO2) were stirred and mixed in 80 mL of deionized water solution, rotary evaporated at 60°C, dried overnight, placed in a quartz boat, and calcined under a nitrogen atmosphere. The obtained solid was ground and alkaline washed with 2 mol / L NaOH solution for 12 h, filtered, washed with deionized water until neutral, and dried at 80°C to obtain a black solid, which is the NC-10 support.

[0050] (2) Preparation of 5Ru / NC-10 catalyst: Weigh 0.0639 g of ruthenium acetylacetonate (C 15 H 21 O6Ru) solid was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and the solution was dripped into a Petri dish containing 0.3 g of the carrier, stirred continuously, and allowed to stand at room temperature for 12 h. The mixture was then dried in an oven at 80°C. After drying, the sample was ground into powder and placed in a vertical tube furnace with a H2 flow rate of 10 mL·min -1 , and reduced at 350 °C for 4 h to obtain 5Ru / NC-10 catalyst.

[0051] The prepared 5Ru / NC-10 (SiO2) was characterized by X-ray diffraction to explore its crystal structure. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the catalyst exhibits a broad peak centered at 2θ = 26°, which is attributed to the characteristic peak of the (002) crystal plane of graphitic carbon. Diffraction peaks appear at 2θ of 42.1, 43.4 and 68.1°, which are respectively attributed to the (002), (101) and (110) crystal planes of Ru elemental element, indicating that the active center of the catalyst is elemental ruthenium.

[0052] The prepared 5Ru / NC-10 (SiO2) was characterized by N2-physical adsorption and desorption to explore its pore structure. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown. Figure 2 It can be seen that the adsorption isotherm of 5Ru / NC-10 (SiO2) catalyst is a typical type IV isotherm, and an obvious H4 type hysteresis loop can be observed in the medium relative pressure range (P / P0 = 0.4~1.0), indicating that the support has a mesoporous structure. Figure 3 From the pore size distribution diagram, it can be seen that the main pore structure of the carrier is mainly mesopores and macropores.

[0053] Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the prepared 5Ru / NC-10 (SiO2) to explore its surface morphology. Figure 4It can be clearly observed that the surface morphology of the catalyst is interconnected sheets with a large number of wrinkled structures and random open pores.

[0054] The surface morphology of the prepared 5Ru / NC-10 (SiO2) was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Figure 5 As shown in the transmission electron microscopy image of Ru / NC (a in the figure), it can be seen that the Ru metal particles are uniformly dispersed on the catalyst surface. From the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy image of Ru / NC (b in the figure), it can be seen that the interplanar spacing is 2.14 nm, 2.08 nm, and 1.37 nm, corresponding to the (002), (101), and (110) crystal planes of the metal Ru particles, respectively. The results are consistent with the XRD test results. The catalyst was then subjected to EDS Mapping analysis, and the results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, it can be seen that the N element is successfully doped into the catalyst carrier, and the Ru metal particles are evenly distributed on the surface of the carrier.

[0055] X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to characterize the prepared 5Ru / NC-10 (SiO2) to explore the existence form of Ru element on its surface. Figure 7 This is the Ru 3p spectrum. After peak separation, the characteristic peaks at 462.3 eV and 465.2 eV are attributed to Ru 0 3p 3 / 2 and Ru δ+ 3p 3 / 2 orbital, the characteristic peaks at 484.2 eV and 487.1 eV are attributed to Ru 0 3p 1 / 2 Ru δ+ 3p 1 / 2 From the fitted peak area, we can see that the Ru element in the carrier exists in the form of simple substance and oxide, among which Ru 0 Ru δ+ The proportions were 77.0% and 23.0% respectively.

[0056] The prepared 5Ru / NC-10(SiO2) was characterized by CO2-temperature programmed desorption (CO2-TPD) to explore its basicity. Figure 8 CO2 desorption peaks can be seen in the low temperature range (0-200°C), medium-high temperature range (200-400°C), and high temperature range (400-800°C), corresponding to the weak base site, medium-strong base site, and strong base site of the carrier, respectively. It can be seen that the medium-strong base site and strong base site are the main sites in the carrier.

[0057] The prepared 5Ru / NC-10(SiO2) was characterized by NH3-temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) to explore its acidity. Figure 9NH3 desorption peaks can be seen in both the low temperature range (0-200℃) and the medium-high temperature range (200-400℃), corresponding to the weak acid sites and medium-strong acid sites of the carrier, respectively. It can be seen that the weak acid sites and medium-strong acid sites are dominant in the carrier.

The obtained solid was ground and alkaline washed with 2 mol / L NaOH solution for 12 h, filtered, washed with deionized water until neutral, and dried at 80°C to obtain a black solid, which is the NC-20 carrier.

[0070] (2) Preparation of 5Ru / NC-20 catalyst: Weigh 0.0639 g of ruthenium acetylacetonate (C 15 H 21 O6Ru) solid was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and the solution was dripped into a Petri dish containing 0.3 g of the carrier, stirred continuously, and allowed to stand at room temperature for 12 h.

The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown. Figure 10 It can be seen that the adsorption isotherms of all catalysts are typical type IV isotherms, and obvious H4 type hysteresis loops can be observed in the medium relative pressure range (P / P0 = 0.4~1.0), indicating that the support has a mesoporous structure. Figure 11 From the pore size distribution diagram, we can see that the main pore structure of the carrier is mainly mesopores and macropores. The catalyst modified with the pore-forming agent SiO2 has more mesopores and macropores, which is beneficial to the mass transfer of macromolecular lignin, thereby improving the catalytic hydrogenolysis performance, which is consistent with the experimental results.

[0238] As can be seen from the above examples, the present invention utilizes a nitrogen-doped carbon-supported ruthenium catalyst system to achieve selective hydrogenolysis of lignin. Under conditions of H₂ pressure of 1–3 MPa, reaction temperature of 240–280°C, and reaction time of 2–6 h, the lignin conversion rate reached 80.90%–95.70%, and the total product yield was 18.19%–33.22%, with the total yield of phenolic products reaching 14.06%–27.23%. The nitrogen-doped carbon-supported ruthenium catalyst employed in the present invention offers relatively low cost among precious metal catalysts, a simple preparation process, and minimal environmental impact, enabling lignin depolymerization under mild conditions.

[0239] Example 45: Recyclability of catalyst

[0240] Taking the reuse of a 5Ru / NC-10 (SiO2) catalyst as an example, the reuse process is as follows: After the reaction, the catalyst is filtered and separated, placed in a tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution, stirred at room temperature for 12 hours, filtered, and oven-dried at 80°C. The resulting catalyst solid is then recycled according to the steps in Example 9. Tests show that the catalyst activity does not decrease significantly after five cycles, with a lignin conversion rate of 86.71% and a total product yield of 31.61%, including a total yield of phenolic products of 21.18%.

[0241] As can be seen from the above examples, the modified nitrogen-doped carbon-loaded ruthenium catalytic system of the present invention is combined with alcohol solvents to achieve selective hydrogenolysis of lignin. Under the conditions of ruthenium loading of 1~9 wt.%, nitrogen doping amount of 5~25 mol.%, H2 pressure of 1~3 MPa, reaction temperature of 240~280°C, and reaction time of 2~6 h, the conversion rate of lignin is 80.90%~95.70%, and the total yield of product is 18.19%~33.22%, of which the total yield of phenolic products is 14.06%~27.23%. The technology used in the present invention has the characteristics of renewable raw materials, simple reaction process, mild reaction conditions, and environmentally friendly catalyst, mainly having the following characteristics:

[0242] 1) Compared with traditional carbon-supported metal-loaded catalysts, the catalyst of the present invention nitrogen-dopes the carbon material. The nitrogen doping and the defects of the carbon material provide additional anchor points for the metal atoms, which can promote the dispersion of metallic ruthenium. At the same time, the nitrogen doping can provide more basic sites for the catalyst. The active metallic ruthenium is loaded after the support is prepared, which avoids the phenomenon of metal coating during the one-step pyrolysis preparation, improves the performance of lignin hydrogenolysis, and achieves the selective depolymerization of lignin.

[0243] 2) A pore-forming agent was added during the preparation of the catalyst to prepare a porous catalyst, which resulted in more mesoporous structures in the catalyst, which was beneficial to the mass transfer of macromolecular lignin.

[0244] 3) Nitrogen-doped carbon supports enhance the interaction between the metal and the support, improving the activity and stability of the catalyst. After five cycles, the catalyst activity showed no significant decrease, indicating the catalyst's good stability.

[0245] Overall, the nitrogen-doped carbon support in the present invention effectively regulates the acidity and electronic structure of the catalyst during lignin hydrogenolysis, thereby improving the catalyst's performance in hydrogenolysis of lignin. Under mild reaction conditions, higher overall product yields and phenolic bioproduct yields are achieved. Furthermore, the catalyst of the present invention exhibits excellent substrate compatibility with lignin from diverse biomass sources, enabling efficient catalytic hydrogenolysis of lignin from sources such as bagasse, bamboo, and poplar.

[0246] The implementation methods of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be considered as equivalent replacement methods and shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
