TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of biomass catalytic conversion and comprehensive utilization of mineral resources, and particularly relates to an oxidation catalyst and a method for preparing glyceric acid by catalytic oxidation of glycerol. BACKGROUND

[0002] Glyceric acid is a simple organic acid and an intermediate product of glycerol metabolism, and is naturally present in some fruits (such as pineapples and bananas). As a multifunctional and highly valuable fine chemical, it has a wide range of applications from basic metabolism to commercial applications, and has shown important application potential in many fields, with a growing demand.

[0003] At present, there are many conversion pathways for glycerol. Compared with other pathways, oxidation is an effective way to generate high-value-added products. At present, the typical catalyst for glycerol oxidation to obtain value-added products is three noble metals Au, Pt and Pd and their corresponding alloys. However, such noble metal supported catalysts have problems such as dependence on alkaline conditions, harsh reaction conditions (alkaline medium, high pressure), easy deactivation of active sites, and low recovery rate. Due to the presence of noble metals, the cost of the entire process is also high. Therefore, more attention has been paid to the exploration of glyceric acid oxidation catalysts.

[0004] Lithium ore is the core carrier of lithium resources, but low-grade lithium ore (Li2O < 2%) is mostly stored as tailings due to poor economic efficiency of lithium extraction, resulting in serious waste of resources. Existing research focuses on lithium extraction or catalytic application of high-grade lithium ore (such as spodumene with Li2O≥6%), and has not involved the construction of catalytic system of low-grade lithium ore.

[0026] The application discloses a method for preparing a catalyst by using components of low-grade lithium ore, and catalyzing and oxidizing glycerol to prepare glyceric acid under the conditions of no alkaline and normal pressure and temperature. Through a composite pretreatment process of reinforced mechanical activation-high concentration acid leaching-high temperature step-by-step roasting, the synergistic catalytic action of Li, Al, Si and associated K, F and other components in the ore is activated, a Li-Al-Si-K-F composite oxide heterogeneous catalyst is constructed, oxygen is used as an oxidizing agent, and efficient conversion of glycerol to glyceric acid is realized in pure water medium.

[0033] The preparation method of the oxidation catalyst described in this embodiment includes the following steps: (1) Raw material pretreatment: Lithium polymetallic ore from the Vilasto mining area (Li2O content 1.71%) in Keshiketeng Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, was crushed to 350 mesh, mechanically activated for 5 hours, and the ball-to-material ratio was adjusted to 18:1 and the rotation speed was 180 rpm.
