[0037] The present application will be described in greater detail by way of specific embodiments, of which the following are examples. As will be obvious to those skilled in the art, the described embodiments are not the only way to implement the present application. Any other embodiments based on the embodiments disclosed in the present application, without departing from the spirit of the present application, are also within the scope of the present application.
[0038] Referring to Figures 1-4 The present application provides a technical solution:
[0039] During use, catalysts may change in particle size due to wear and tear, carbon deposition, and other reasons. Sieving operations can remove particles that are too large or too small. Particles that are too large may affect the distribution of fluid within the reactor, leading to uneven reactions; particles that are too small may be lost with the reactant stream, resulting in waste of catalyst. By precise sieving, the size of catalyst particles loaded into the reactor is relatively uniform, which is conducive to improving the stability and efficiency of the reaction. For example, in a fixed bed reactor, uniform particle distribution allows fluid to flow more smoothly through the catalyst bed, avoiding phenomena such as channeling, and ensuring that the reaction can be carried out under good mass and heat transfer conditions.
[0040] The mass ratio of the sieved catalyst in step S3 to the deactivated copper catalyst is 1:2, which has been verified through a large number of experiments and practical production experience. Although the activity of the old catalyst has decreased, it still retains certain catalytically active sites and structural characteristics. The newly cleaned catalyst has high initial activity. By mixing and loading them in a mass ratio of 1:2, the residual value of the old catalyst can be fully utilized, and the cost can be reduced, and the high activity of the new catalyst can drive the operation of the entire reaction system. For example, in some organic synthesis reactions, the new catalyst can quickly start the reaction, and the old catalyst gradually releases activity during the reaction, maintaining the continuous and stable progress of the reaction. The synergistic effect of the two achieves a good balance between catalytic effect and economic benefit.
[0041] Liquid alkali (sodium hydroxide) plays a key role in the catalyst regeneration process. The initial stage controls the liquid alkali concentration at about 5%, because at this time the catalyst surface needs mild conditions for preliminary cleaning and activation of impurities and deactivation substances. As the reactor temperature rises, the activity of the catalyst gradually recovers, and its reactivity with liquid alkali also increases. Slowly increasing the liquid alkali concentration to about 15% at the end point can gradually and deeply remove stubborn impurities on the catalyst surface, such as carbon deposition and metal oxides, while promoting the re-exposure and recovery of the catalyst active sites. For example, for a catalyst deactivated by adsorbing organic pollutants, low concentration liquid alkali first dissolves part of the easily soluble impurities, and as the concentration increases, the stronger alkaline environment can break the chemical bond between the organic pollutants and the catalyst surface, completely removing them and effectively recovering the activity of the catalyst.

[0106] Comparative Example 1
[0107] In this comparative example, the copper catalyst was treated using a traditional regeneration method, i.e., only through the steps of washing, drying, and activation.
[0108] Performance test:
[0109] In a fixed bed reactor, the temperature was set to 80°C, the pressure was 1.5 MPa, and the mass concentration of acrylonitrile aqueous solution was 20%. The flow rate was controlled at 50 mL / min, and the regenerated high-efficiency copper catalyst obtained from Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 was used as the catalyst. The yield of acrylamide after 1 hour of reaction was recorded, and the data obtained are shown in Table 1 below:
[0110] Table 1
[0111] Acrylamide yield (%) Example 1 83.4±0.8 Example 2 84.1±0.7 Example 3 83.8±0.9 Example 4 84.5±0.6 Comparative Example 1 72.5±1.2
[0112] The average yield of acrylamide in the examples was 83.9%, which was about 15.7% higher than that of the control group (72.5%). The yield improvement was attributed to the combined use of modified silica gel and modified sol, which increased the oxygen vacancy density and surface active site coverage of the catalyst, resulting in an increase in the yield of acrylamide.
[0113] The regenerated catalysts from Example 3 and Comparative Example 1 were continuously operated for 200 hours, and the acrylamide yield was tested every 24 hours. The stability of the regenerated catalysts from Example 3 and Comparative Example 1 was compared, and the data obtained are shown in Table 2 below:

[0116] The catalyst of Example 3 still maintained a yield of 77.6% after 200 hours, which was significantly improved compared to Comparative Example 1 (58.4%), and the life was prolonged by about 50%. The ionic liquid grafted layer of the modified silica gel effectively inhibited the carbon deposition and metal sintering, and maintained the pore structure and active sites of the catalyst.
