Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of catalytic chemistry, and particularly relates to a supported solid acid catalyst for sorbitol dehydration to prepare isosorbide, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Isosorbide is a new type of biomass-based functional diol material, and is an important bio-based platform molecule, which has wide applications in food and cosmetic, pharmaceutical, plastic and polymer industries. In the traditional industry, a batch reactor is mainly used to prepare isosorbide by using concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst through a vacuum melting method. However, there are some disadvantages, such as corrosion of equipment, pollution of environment, difficulty in subsequent purification, and the like. In addition, the product quality is not easy to guarantee, and the obtained crude product often has a very deep color, which needs to be refined for many times to meet the requirements of its use. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new method for preparing isosorbide from sorbitol, and to realize continuous, stable and high-quality production of the product. Compared with the batch process, the fixed bed catalytic reaction significantly improves the production efficiency of isosorbide. However, there are few studies on the solid catalyst for the reaction of continuous dehydration of sorbitol to prepare isosorbide in a fixed bed. For example, Chinese patent CN101492457A discloses that a tetravalent metal oxide modified by H3PO4 is used as a catalyst to prepare isosorbide through a dehydration reaction at a reaction temperature of 250-300℃, and the selectivity of isosorbide is 63.49% and the yield is 62.23%; Chinese patent CN101691376A discloses that a solid-supported heteropoly acid is used as a catalyst, and the selectivity of isosorbide reaches 75.2% and the yield reaches 71.4%; in addition, literature (Catalysis Communications, Volume 12, Issue 6, 2011, 544-547) reports a study on the dehydration of sorbitol to prepare isosorbide using sulfated copper oxide as a catalyst, and the conversion rate of sorbitol is 99.7% and the selectivity of isosorbide is 67.5%, but the reaction is deactivated quickly. In addition, there are problems such as high reaction temperature, high energy consumption, low selectivity and yield of the product, and easy coking and agglomeration of the catalyst. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the problems in the prior art, the present application discloses a supported solid acid catalyst for the dehydration of sorbitol to prepare isosorbide in a fixed bed reaction, and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purposes of the present application, the following technical solutions are adopted:

[0010] Further, the drying temperature is 80-200 DEG C, the drying time is 2-12 hours, the calcining temperature is 400-800 DEG C, and the calcining time is 2-10 hours.

[0011] The application further discloses an application of the supported copper oxide sulfate solid acid catalyst in a reaction of catalyzing sorbitol dehydration to prepare isosorbide, the catalyst is filled in a fixed bed reactor, the catalytic bed is heated to 150-300 DEG C, preferably 180-250 DEG C under N2 protection, the obtained mixed gas raw material is obtained after the sorbitol aqueous solution is vaporized by heating, and the mixed gas raw material is fed into the catalyst bed of the fixed bed reactor to react.

[0012] Further, the concentration of the sorbitol aqueous solution is 5-30 wt%, preferably 10-15 wt%; and the liquid hourly space velocity of the sorbitol aqueous solution is 0.5-8 h -1 , preferably 1-4 h -1 .

[0013] Compared with the prior art route, the method has the following characteristics:

[0014] 1) The supported sulfated copper oxide solid acid catalyst prepared by the traditional method has problems of low specific surface area, easy caking and carbon deposition. Therefore, the patent introduces molecular sieve as a carrier to modify the sulfated copper oxide catalyst, and adds a certain amount of surfactant during preparation, aiming to increase the specific surface area of the catalyst while improving the dispersion of the active component sulfated copper oxide on the carrier, and prepare a supported sulfated copper oxide catalyst with high dispersion of active components. In addition, some other metal sulfate additives are introduced to improve the anti-carbon and sintering capacity through synergistic effect with active metal copper. In addition, the molecular sieve can promote the rapid diffusion of reactants and products due to its special pore structure, reduce diffusion limitation, and improve its reaction rate and selectivity.

[0015] 2) The method for preparing isosorbide by using the supported sulfated copper oxide solid acid catalyst prepared by the present application has a sorbitol conversion rate of 100% and an isosorbide yield of more than 80%. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
