Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a catalyst and application of the catalyst in hydrogenation preparation of o-aminoanisole. BACKGROUND

[0002] O-aminoanisole is an important organic intermediate and is widely applied in the fields of dyes, medicines, pesticides and polymer materials. At present, the methods for preparing o-aminoanisole in industry mainly include an iron powder reduction method, a sulfidized alkali reduction method and a catalytic hydrogenation method. The iron powder reduction method and the sulfidized alkali reduction method are relatively mature, but have defects of serious environmental pollution, low product purity and large raw material consumption, and thus cannot meet the requirements of green chemistry and sustainable development. In comparison, the catalytic hydrogenation method has advantages of high atom economy, environmental friendliness, high product purity and the like, and gradually becomes a key direction of research and application.

[0003] In the catalytic hydrogenation method, the activity and durability of the catalyst have a decisive role on the economy and stability of the o-aminoanisole hydrogenation process. If the catalyst activity is insufficient, the reaction efficiency is reduced and the energy consumption is increased; and if the catalyst durability is poor, the activity metal is aggregated under the requirement of multiple reactivation in long-period operation, the catalytic effect is reduced, and even the catalyst is seriously inactivated. Since the activity metal is usually a noble metal such as Pt and Pd, the catalyst is rapidly inactivated or has poor regeneration performance, which not only increases the catalyst supplement cost, but also affects the continuous stability of production. Therefore, development of a catalyst with high activity and long service life can significantly reduce the synthesis cost of o-aminoanisole. SUMMARY

[0049] Supporting steps of the auxiliary metal and the active metal: 15.1 mmol of cobalt acetate was added to 30 mL of ethanol, 1.0 g of dimethyl fumarate was added, and 80 mg of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was added. A light blue complex solution was obtained after stirring at 40°C for 2 h.

[0050] 0.45 g of [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2 was added to 15 mL of water, and the dried support from the previous step was contacted at 40°C for 2 h.

Specifically: A carrier precursor PreCat-A was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1.

[0052] The preparation steps of the carrier precursor PreCat-C: 10 g of F127 was weighed and dissolved in 90 g of deionized water, stirred at 70°C for 3 h, and then 5 g of silica was added under stirring at 600 rpm to form a uniform mixture.

[0053] Next, the carrier precursor PreCat-C-2 was subjected to the preparation of the Al2O3 carrier, the loading of the promoter metal and the active metal in the same processing steps as in Example 1 to obtain the catalyst Cat-3.

[0054] Comparative Example 2: Comparative Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that no silica was added in the preparation step of the carrier precursor PreCat-C, and the remaining steps were the same, to obtain the catalyst Cat-4.

[0055] Comparative Example 3: Comparative Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that no preparation step of the carrier precursor PreCat-C was performed, and the remaining steps were the same, specifically: A carrier precursor PreCat-B was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1.

[0056] The carrier precursor PreCat-B was calcined at 540°C for 3 h under air atmosphere, and after calcination, was rapidly immersed in 1M nitric acid and then washed with water until neutral, and dried at 110°C to obtain the Al2O3 carrier. Next, the Al2O3 carrier was subjected to the loading of the promoter metal and the active metal in the same processing steps as in the preparation of the catalyst Cat-1 in Example 1 to obtain the catalyst Cat-5.

[0057] Comparative Example 4: Comparative Example 4 differs from Example 1 in that no dimethyl fumarate was added in the loading step of the promoter metal and the active metal, and the remaining steps were the same, to obtain the catalyst Cat-6.

[0058] Comparative Example 5: Comparative Example 5 differs from Example 1 in that no azobisisobutyronitrile was added in the loading step of the promoter metal and the active metal, and the remaining steps were the same, to obtain the catalyst Cat-7.

[0059] Comparative Example 6: The difference between Comparative Example 6 and Example 1 is that no cobalt acetate is added in the step of loading the promoter metal and the active metal, and the rest of the steps are the same, to obtain the catalyst Cat-8.

[0060] Comparative Example 7: The difference between Comparative Example 7 and Example 1 is that cobalt acetate is replaced by an equimolar amount of copper acetate in the step of loading the promoter metal and the active metal, and the rest of the steps are the same, to obtain the catalyst Cat-9.

[0061] Example 3 Fill 10 g of any one of the Pt-Co / Al2O3 catalysts Cat 1-9 in a 30 ml fixed bed, add 10% of the methanol to the raw material mass of o-nitroanisole to configure a raw material liquid, pump the raw material liquid into the fixed bed, replace three times with nitrogen, and then replace once with hydrogen. After the hydrogen replaces the gas therein, adjust the hydrogen pressure to 1.8-2 MPa. The reaction conditions are as follows: mass space velocity 1.2 g / g*hr (raw material mass flow rate / catalyst mass), hydrogen ratio 30 (volume ratio), and temperature 80°C. The hydrogenated liquid at the outlet of the fixed bed is subjected to rectification to obtain o-anisidine. HPLC detection is performed, and the o-nitroanisole conversion rate A1% and the o-anisidine yield B1% are recorded for a continuous operation of 72 h. The results are shown in Table 1: Table 1

[0062] Example 4 When the continuous operation in the manner of Example 3 is performed for 800 h, the o-nitroanisole conversion rate A2% and the o-anisidine yield B2% are detected, and the results are shown in Table 2: Table 2

[0063] Example 5 In the same manner as in Example 3, 10 g of any one of the Pt-Co / Al2O3 catalysts Cat 1-9 is filled in a 30 ml fixed bed, 10% of the methanol is added to the raw material mass of o-nitroanisole to configure a raw material liquid, the raw material liquid is pumped into the fixed bed, three times of replacement with nitrogen are performed, and then one time of replacement with hydrogen is performed. After the hydrogen replaces the gas therein, the hydrogen pressure is adjusted to 1.8-2 MPa. The reaction conditions are as follows: mass space velocity 1.2 g / g*hr (raw material mass flow rate / catalyst mass), hydrogen ratio 30 (volume ratio), and temperature 80°C. The hydrogenated liquid at the outlet of the fixed bed is subjected to rectification to obtain o-anisidine. HPLC detection is performed, and when the o-anisidine yield % is less than 80% of the o-anisidine yield (i.e., B1) when the operation is performed for 72 h, the deactivated catalyst is recorded, and the deactivated catalyst numbers are Cat-1D-Cat-9D.

[0064] The deactivated catalysts Cat-1D~Cat-9D were heated to 380℃ under air atmosphere for 2h, cooled to 40℃, and then replaced by hydrogen and nitrogen mixed gas (V H2 :V N2 =1:9) for 2h to perform secondary activation, to obtain the activated catalysts Cat-1R~Cat-9R, as shown in Table 3: Table 3

[0065] Example 6 In the manner of Example 3, but the catalyst was replaced by any of the catalysts Cat1R~9R, and the continuous operation was performed for 800h, and the conversion rate of o-nitroanisole A3%, and the yield of o-aminophenyl methyl ether B3% were detected, as shown in Table 4: Table 4

[0066] The catalysts of the present application are constructed by layer-by-layer coating of P123, F127 and silica to form a multi-layer organic-inorganic composite interface, and after calcination and acid treatment, a surface functionalized Al2O3 carrier is formed. This hierarchical construction can improve the structural stability and metal dispersion of the carrier, especially beneficial to the dispersion of the metal in the process of high-temperature secondary activation. In the process of loading the auxiliary metal Co, the ligand-assisted organic complex film regulation strategy is adopted to anchor Co and Pt on the surface of the carrier in a highly dispersed state, effectively avoiding sintering and agglomeration at high temperature. In the high-temperature air atmosphere and high-temperature hydrogen atmosphere, the agglomeration of the auxiliary metal and the active metal can be prevented, and the particle size is prevented from becoming large.

[0067] Therefore, as shown in Table 4, the Pt-Co / Al2O3 catalysts obtained in Example 1 and Example 2 of the present application can still maintain good metal dispersion and pore structure stability after secondary activation, thereby ensuring their catalytic activity and cycle stability in subsequent reactions. In the case of continuous operation for up to 850h, the yield of o-aminophenyl methyl ether is still higher than 98%, and the overall process not only improves the initial performance, but also ensures that the performance after secondary activation remains good. The catalysts of the present application have excellent durability and regenerability.

[0068] The methods of the present application have been described by way of preferred embodiments, and modifications or suitable variations and adaptations of the methods and applications described herein can be made by those skilled in the art in the light of the content, spirit and scope of the present application, to implement and apply the present technology. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate modifications to the process parameters based on the content herein to implement. It is particularly important to note that all such obvious substitutions and modifications are within the scope of the present application.
