Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical synthesis, specifically relating to a catalyst and its preparation method for the catalytic hydrogenation of crude terephthalic acid to synthesize cyclohexanediol. Background Technology

[0002] 1,4-Cyclohexanediethanol (CHDM) is an important chemical raw material and a key monomer for the production of high-melting-point, high-quality, and high-impact polyester products. It is also an intermediate for coatings, inks, adhesives, insulating materials, and some special-purpose unsaturated polyesters. Therefore, CHDM has a huge market demand.

[0003] The main methods for preparing CHDM are:

[0004] 1. Catalytic hydrogenation of terephthalate: CN116444343 proposes a two-stage catalytic hydrogenation technology. In the first stage, Ru / TiO2 is used to catalyze the hydrogenation of PET to produce ethylene glycol cyclohexanedicarboxylate. In the second stage, Cu / Mn3O4-Al2O3 is used to catalyze the hydrogenation to further produce CHDM, with a yield of 100%. CN120571586 proposes a one-step catalytic hydrogenation method using NiCu / SiO2 to synthesize CHDM from dimethyl terephthalate, with a yield of 93%.

[0005] 2. Catalytic hydrogenation of commercial terephthalic acid (PTA): CN117816154 proposes a method using a RuPd / C and CuZn / C composite catalyst to convert commercial PTA to CHDM in two stages at 2.5 MPa H2 and 170℃, and 230℃ and 8.0 MPa H2, respectively, with a yield of 93.2%. WO 2015156582 further proposes a method using a Pd / C and RuSnPt / C catalyst to catalyze the hydrogenation of commercial PTA to CHDM at 230℃ and 8.0 MPa H2, with a yield of 85%.

[0006] 3. Catalytic hydrogenation of terephthalic acid: CN103878003 proposes using PdPt / NiMoP as a catalyst to hydrogenate terephthalic acid under relatively mild conditions of 100℃ and 1.5 MPa H2 to obtain CHDM with a yield of 96.1%.

[0007] 4. Catalytic hydrogenation of terephthalaldehyde: EP1099475 proposes using Raney Ni as a catalyst to catalyze the hydrogenation of terephthalaldehyde to CHDM at 60℃ and 4.0MPa H2, with a yield of 89%.

[0008] CHDM is a bulk chemical with a market demand of millions of tons, making it highly sensitive to raw material costs. Methods 1, 3, and 4 mentioned above all have high raw material costs, resulting in high product costs and a lack of competitiveness. Method 2 uses commercial PTA as raw material, which has relatively lower costs, but it requires high-quality catalysts, relies on precious metal catalysis, and operates under demanding conditions.

[0009] The mainstream production technology for commercial PTA is as follows: using p-xylene as raw material, Co-Mn-Br as catalyst, and air or oxygen as oxidant, an oxidation reaction is carried out in an acetic acid medium. The oxidation product is centrifuged to obtain solid crude PTA. The crude PTA is then purified by Pd / C hydrogenation, followed by 5-stage crystallization and water washing to obtain refined PTA. The purity of crude PTA is approximately 99.5%, with the main impurity being p-carboxybenzaldehyde (4-CBA). To remove approximately 0.3-0.4% of 4-CBA, in practice, the crude PTA is dissolved in pure water at 286℃ and 7.6 MPa, and then hydrogenated using Pd / C catalysis to convert 4-CBA into p-methylbenzoic acid (see Formula 1). This is then removed by 5-stage crystallization, pressure filtration, and water washing to obtain refined PTA (commercial product) with a purity of 99.98%. As can be seen from the above refining process, the crude PTA refining process is a complex, energy-intensive process that generates a large amount of wastewater and consumes precious metal catalysts, resulting in high operating costs.

[0010]

[0011] Formula 1. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel catalytic technology that directly uses crude PTA containing 4-CBA as a raw material, and through catalytic hydrogenation, converts it entirely into the target product CHDM, thereby achieving low-cost production of CHDM. The reaction process is shown in Equation 2.

[0013]

[0014] Formula 2

[0015] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: High specific surface area supported molybdenum nitride (MoN-AC) is prepared using coconut shell activated carbon (AC) as a carrier. A metal active component (M) is then loaded onto its surface and activated to obtain an M / MoN-AC catalyst. Then, using crude PTA containing 4-CBA as raw material, and the prepared M / MoN-AC as a catalyst, a hydrogenation reaction is carried out in a suitable solvent at a controlled temperature and hydrogen pressure, thereby achieving high-efficiency synthesis of CHDM.

[0016] The method for preparing high specific surface area supported molybdenum nitride (MoN-AC) is as follows: ammonium molybdate [(NH4)6Mo7O] 24[·4H2O] is dissolved in hot water to obtain an ammonium molybdate aqueous solution, which is used to impregnate AC. After impregnation at the hot water temperature for 8-12 h, it is dried at 120℃ for 12 h to obtain the precursor. Subsequently, the precursor is placed in a high-temperature furnace and treated at a certain heating rate in an NH3 atmosphere for a certain time to obtain MoN-AC with a high specific surface area.

[0017] In the preparation of MoN-AC, the amount of ammonium molybdate used is such that the Mo element:AC ratio in MoN-AC is 15~30:100 (by weight), preferably 20~25:100 (by weight); the weight ratio of water to AC is 3~5:1; the dissolution temperature of ammonium molybdate in water is the same as the impregnation temperature, which is 60~90 ℃.

[0018] The programmed heating rate of the precursor in a high-temperature furnace and NH3 atmosphere is 1~5℃ / min, and the preferred programmed heating rate is 1.5~2.5℃ / min; the high-temperature treatment in NH3 atmosphere for a certain period of time refers to the programmed heating to 650~750℃ and maintaining it for 3~6 h.

[0019] The preparation method of M / MoN-AC catalyst is as follows: MoN-AC is impregnated with an aqueous solution of Cu and Ru nitrate or acetate at room temperature for 6-12 h, then dried at 120℃ for 12 h, and activated to obtain catalyst CuRu / MoN-AC.

[0020] The weight ratio of water to AC is 2-4:1, the weight ratio of Cu and Ru to AC is 10-16:100, and the weight ratio of Cu to AC in the Cu-Ru composition is Cu:Ru = 1.0-2.0:1.0, preferably Cu:Ru = 1.25-1.5:1.0 (weight ratio).

[0021] The catalyst activation method involves high-temperature reduction with hydrogen to obtain CuRu / MoN-AC. The hydrogen high-temperature reduction activation method uses a mixture of H2 and N2 in a volume ratio of H2:N2 = 1~4:10. The temperature is increased at a rate of 2~5℃ / min to a suitable high-temperature reduction time. A suitable high-temperature reduction time refers to 250~400℃ for 2~5 hours.

[0022] Suitable solvents for the hydrogenation of crude PTA catalyzed by CuRu / MoN-AC can be methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, etc., or ethylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol ethyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, etc. A suitable solvent ratio is: solvent: crude PTA = 4~8:1 (by weight).

[0023] The suitable dosage of the hydrogenation catalyst CuRu / MoN-AC is: catalyst: crude PTA = 5~15:100 (weight ratio). The suitable conditions for the hydrogenation of crude PTA catalyzed by CuRu / MoN-AC are: 220~260 ℃, 6.0~10.0 MPa H2, preferably 230~250 ℃, 7~8 MPa H2. The hydrogenation reaction time is determined based on the sampling analysis during the reaction process; the suitable reaction time is when the CHDM content in the sample is the highest. Quantitative analysis is performed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

[0024] Effects of the present invention

[0025] (1) In this invention, crude PTA is used instead of commercial PTA, and CHDM is synthesized by hydrogenation under CuRu / MoN-AC catalysis. This avoids the cost of converting impurity 4-CBA into useless p-methylbenzoic acid in the traditional process, and has a significant cost advantage.

[0026] (2) High specific surface area AC is readily prepared by impregnating ammonium molybdate with AC. Since MoN has good tolerance to halogens (such as Cl and Br), sulfur and nitrogen compounds, the CuRu / MoN-AC catalyst prepared based on MoN in this invention can be applied to the catalytic hydrogenation of crude PTA containing trace amounts of bromine compounds.

[0027] (3) By loading CuRu active components with MoN-AC with high specific surface area, the catalyst CuRu / MoN-AC prepared in this invention has the advantages of simplified operation process and low cost.

[0028] (4) The presence of N element in the MoN-AC carrier of the present invention makes the catalyst have strong adsorption of crude PTA and weak adsorption of product CHDM, thus facilitating the high-selectivity generation of CHDM.

[0029] (5) The CuRu / MoN-AC catalyst prepared by the present invention has a synergistic catalytic effect between CuRu and MoN. In addition, the N element in MoN has a dispersing and stabilizing effect on the CuRu active component, which makes the catalyst proposed by the present invention have high catalytic effect and better stability, which is very beneficial to industrial application.
