Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalyst processing technology, and particularly relates to a synthesis method and application of a catalyst for the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde. Background Technology

[0002] Formaldehyde is an important downstream product of methanol and a raw material for organic chemicals. It is one of the common platform molecules in C1 and low-carbon chemicals. Its derivatives include formaldehyde polymers, trialdehyde resins, 1,4-butanediol, polyvinyl alcohol acetal fibers, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, hexamethylenetetramine, tetramethylolmethane, methyl acetal, acrylic acid and its esters, polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether, and ethylene glycol. There are two commonly used methods for formaldehyde production both domestically and internationally: the silver catalytic method and the iron-molybdenum catalytic method. The former has been gradually replaced by the iron-molybdenum method due to the high cost of catalysts, high catalytic reaction temperature, and low formaldehyde concentration produced.

[0003] However, due to the formation of hot spots in the oxidation reaction, molybdenum volatilizes from the catalyst, causing catalyst deactivation. Furthermore, the large amount of air in the reaction leads to catalyst pulverization, reducing the catalyst's catalytic activity and selectivity for aldehydes. Chinese invention patent CN 115487818 A uses a co-precipitation method to adjust the catalyst's physical structure by adding organic amines, thereby improving its activity and stability and extending its lifespan. Chinese invention patent CN 112871180 B, by modifying the catalyst's structure, can reduce the loss of effective components, increase catalyst lifespan, and improve reaction selectivity. The above-mentioned literature all modify the physical structure of the catalyst; however, their solutions to the pulverization problem are limited. Component loss during pulverization is the main reason for the continuous decline in conversion rate and selectivity; therefore, improving strength and reducing component loss are necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a catalyst for the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde and its preparation method. The aim is to integrate the existing iron-molybdenum catalyst and molecular sieve, and add boron as an auxiliary element to synthesize a catalyst with higher strength that can withstand high space velocities. At the same time, it reduces the degree of catalyst pulverization and component loss. During use, the use of magnetic rings can be reduced to achieve heat transfer effect, and the problems of formaldehyde carbonization and polymerization during use can be reduced.
