Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of catalysts, in particular to a Pd supported catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK for short), also known as 4-methyl-2-pentanone, is an organic chemical product with excellent performance, which can be used as a high-grade organic solvent, and can also be used as an important organic synthesis raw material and chemical reaction intermediate, and can produce various downstream products such as special coating solvents, high-quality dewaxing solvents and high-performance rubber antioxidants, and is widely used in chemical industry, coating, medicine, dye, oil refining, rubber and other industries. The huge market demand prompts the efficient production of MIBK to become a research hotspot, and at present, MIBK is mainly produced by one-step method of acetone with simple process and low production cost.

[0003] Methyl isopentyl ketone (MIAK for short), also known as 2-octanone, can be used as a high-solid coating such as polyurethane paint resin, which can improve the laminar flow performance and film fullness, and can impart a gloss similar to the projection effect, and adding a certain amount can significantly improve the film performance. MIAK can also be used for the synthesis of acrylic resin, which can improve the compatibility between resins by using the solvent capacity of methyl isopentyl ketone. At the same time, methyl isopentyl ketone is also a raw material for synthesizing 7PPD antioxidant, which has excellent heat aging and ozone aging resistance, and has good protection effect on weathering and fatigue aging. With the increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, the demand for high-solid coatings is increasing, and the demand for MIAK is also increasing. At present, domestic MIAK mainly depends on import, so it is urgent to independently develop a method for producing MIAK. The industrialized method for synthesizing methyl isopentyl ketone in the industry is mainly to use acetone and isobutyl aldehyde as raw materials to prepare by condensation and hydrogenation.

[0004] By comparing the production methods of methyl isobutyl ketone and methyl isopentyl ketone, it can be known that the basic principles are the same or even some raw materials are the same. Since the principle is aldol condensation and catalytic hydrogenation, it is possible to co-produce MIBK and MIAK. However, since both raw materials contain α-H atoms, self-condensation may occur during condensation, and cross condensation may also occur, which may cause multiple condensation reactions in the system, resulting in an increase in by-products and reducing the selectivity of the target product. Therefore, developing a multifunctional catalyst with high activity, high stability and high selectivity is the key to synthesizing MIAK and MIBK. SUMMARY
