Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of synthetic process technology, specifically relating to a nitrogen-based full-flow amination method for molybdenum-based materials. Background Technology
[0002] Nitrogen, as a vital element, participates in all aspects of life. The largest natural nitrogen reserve exists in the atmosphere as nitrogen gas, and how to utilize nitrogen more efficiently has always been a core goal pursued by researchers. Currently, nitrogen utilization mainly relies on the Haber-Bosch process, which uses high temperature (400-500℃) and high pressure (15-25MPa) conditions, with the aid of a catalyst, to produce ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. Ammonia is then used as a raw material for large-scale downstream products. This indirect conversion pathway inevitably leads to a loss in element utilization. To address the dual needs of improving nitrogen utilization efficiency and sustainable chemical synthesis, the concept of direct nitrogen conversion has emerged as an advanced method.
[0003] Traditional strategies for directly converting nitrogen into nitrogen-containing chemicals (such as NC, NO, N-Si, NP compounds, etc.) typically rely on expensive and complex molecular catalysts and highly reactive alkali metals (such as K, Li, Na) as reducing agents. The high cost and environmental problems associated with these strategies hinder practical application. Furthermore, liquid-phase reaction systems complicate product separation due to solvent mixing, while the mass transfer limitations imposed by batch reactor configurations significantly reduce space-time yields. These combined challenges pose major obstacles to industrial applications, making current systems economically unsuitable for large-scale deployment.
[0004] Amines are important derivatives of ammonia and are widely used in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, dyeing, and sensing industries. Industrially, amine synthesis relies on ammonia as the primary nitrogen feedstock, where alcohols react with ammonia under continuous flow catalysis to produce the corresponding amines. However, ammonia-dependent processes have significant drawbacks: ammonia synthesis requires energy-intensive processes such as the Haber-Bosch process, as well as specialized storage and transportation infrastructure, and the construction of corrosion-resistant pipelines. This increases the cost of amine production and contradicts the principles of green chemistry.
[0005] CN117417257A discloses a method for catalytic hydrogenation to synthesize amine compounds, belonging to the field of organic synthesis technology. The method includes the following steps: mixing Raney nickel, a nitro compound, and a solvent, and reacting them under a hydrogen atmosphere to obtain the amine compound. However, while using Raney nickel as a catalyst is cheaper than precious metals, it requires a hydrogen atmosphere (pressure 0.1-4.0 MPa), posing risks to hydrogen storage and transportation safety and requiring pressure-resistant equipment. Furthermore, Raney nickel has a limited number of reuses (approximately 15 times), resulting in high long-term costs. Additionally, it relies solely on nitro compounds as raw materials, depending on the nitro reduction pathway, and cannot directly utilize nitrogen (a cheap nitrogen source) and alcohols (common chemical raw materials) to synthesize amines, limiting the availability of raw materials. Moreover, it does not involve the amination reaction of simple alcohols such as C1-C3 alcohols, making it less suitable for the synthesis of low-carbon amine compounds. Therefore, developing a process for the direct conversion of nitrogen to amines is crucial. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention aims to develop a nitrogen-based, fully flow-through amination method using molybdenum-based materials. This method avoids the use of liquid ammonia as a raw material in traditional processes, directly using inexpensive nitrogen for conversion. Furthermore, the catalyst used has a wide range of raw materials and strong applicability to alcohol substrates. To suit practical industrial production, this method enables continuous flow production.

[0047] <Fourth Aspect>
[0048] A molybdenum nitride catalyst is prepared by the method described above.
[0049] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0050] 1. To address the contradiction between the demanding nitrogen fixation conditions (requiring high temperatures) and the easy thermal decomposition of alcohols during the coupling process of ammonia synthesis with other reactions, a chemical chain cycle technology is innovatively introduced. Through a stepwise strategy of high-temperature nitrogen fixation and low-temperature amine production, the thermal decomposition of alcohol raw materials is effectively avoided while ensuring efficient nitrogen fixation, significantly improving the stability of the reaction system.
[0051] 2. This invention innovatively designs a core-shell catalyst with a molybdenum core and a molybdenum nitride shell. Through the electronic effects and geometric confinement of the core-shell interface, it achieves synergistic regulation of active site stability and reaction selectivity. This hierarchical structure not only endows the catalyst with structural rigidity during high-temperature nitrogen fixation, but also enhances the activation ability of nitrogen species through the lattice matching effect of the molybdenum nitride shell, while suppressing side reaction pathways. From the perspective of material design, it breaks through the technical bottleneck of rapid activity decay and poor selectivity of traditional catalysts in continuous amination processes, providing a new material basis and theoretical foundation for the efficient and continuous production of amine compounds.
[0052] 3. The catalyst has a simple and inexpensive composition, strong versatility, and is applicable to all molybdenum-containing materials. It consists of only molybdenum and nitrogen, and its preparation method is simple, convenient, and scientifically sound. It is suitable for molybdenum-based materials such as molybdenum powder, molybdenum dioxide, molybdenum trioxide, ammonium molybdate, molybdenum carbide, molybdenum nitride, molybdenum chloride, and molybdenum acetylacetonate, demonstrating extremely strong versatility. These molybdenum-based materials, especially the molybdenum oxide series, are widely available and inexpensive, offering a cost advantage.
[0053] 4. It has strong applicability to alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, and n-propanol. Different amines such as monomethylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, monoethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, monopropylamine, dipropylamine, and tripropylamine can be prepared according to requirements. The appropriate molybdenum-based catalyst and alcohol can be selected according to the desired product.
[0054] 5. All processes of this invention can be realized in a fixed-bed reactor in a fully flowable manner. By continuously switching the catalyst between high and low temperatures, continuous production is achieved, which is superior to intermittent production methods such as homogeneous catalysis, ball milling, and autoclave methods, and has a higher space-time yield. Existing technologies require the separation of ammonia gas through a synthetic ammonia process, which is an energy-intensive process. At the same time, the transportation of ammonia gas is characterized by high cost, high risk, and high pollution. This invention avoids the separation and transportation of ammonia gas and directly realizes the preparation of downstream products, which is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, cost-reducing, and efficiency-enhancing.

[0063] S2.

[0067] Figure 1 A schematic diagram comparing the existing industrial processes for preparing amines with the method presented in this invention.
[0068] Example 1
[0069] Weigh 500 mg of molybdenum powder and grind it in a mortar for 10 minutes. Load the molybdenum powder onto a quartz reactor, with the sample supported by quartz wool. Mount the quartz reactor on a fixed bed.
[0070] 1. Pretreatment stage: A mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen (N2:H2 = 1:3) is introduced at a total flow rate of 60 mL / min, and the temperature is increased to 550℃ at a rate of 10℃ / min. The temperature is held at 550℃ for 30 min to remove the surface oxide layer.
[0071] 2. Nitriding stage: Adjust the temperature to 400-700℃ at a rate of 5℃ / min for nitriding (500℃ is used in this example), hold for 30 minutes to complete the nitriding stage, and use the same atmosphere as in step 1.
[0072] Characterization of the nitrided sample revealed that it consisted of two phases, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the sample retains its main molybdenum structure, with an outer layer of molybdenum nitride, indicating a partially nitrided core-shell structure. The outer shell is encapsulated molybdenum nitride, while the inner layer remains metallic molybdenum. Figure 4 As shown, the particle size of the nitrided sample is approximately 30-50 nm.
[0073] 3. Amination stage: The temperature of the nitrided sample is reduced to 100-300℃, preferably 250℃, at a rate of 5℃ / min, and then methanol vapor (0.1MPa, 4mmol / h) is introduced. -1 ).
[0074] 4. Collect the exhaust gas at the tail gas outlet with a 1 mmol / L dilute sulfuric acid solution. The generated ammonia, monomethylamine, dimethylamine, and trimethylamine can all be collected to form ammonium sulfate, monomethylamine sulfate, dimethylamine sulfate, and trimethylamine sulfate salts.
[0075] The collected solution was sent to ion chromatography for detection to identify the products. Under the conditions of 250℃ and 0.1 MPa, the production rates of ammonia, monomethylamine, dimethylamine, and trimethylamine in the first ten minutes were 6.4 μmol / g / h, 4.3 μmol / g / h, 0.8 μmol / g / h, and 141.6 μmol / g / h, respectively. After 30 minutes, the reaction was basically complete, and the final yields of ammonia, monomethylamine, dimethylamine, and trimethylamine were 1.4 μmol / g, 1.8 μmol / g, 0.4 μmol / g, and 36.0 μmol / g, respectively, with an amine selectivity of 96.4%.
[0076] After the amination reaction is completed (repeat steps 2-4), the temperature is raised for nitridation, and then cooled for amination again to complete one cycle, continuously producing amines.
[0077] like Figure 2 The high-temperature nitriding and low-temperature amination shown are both carried out on a catalyst bed.
[0078] After five cycles (nitriding temperature of 500℃ and amination temperature of 250℃), the catalyst performance did not decrease significantly. XRD characterization showed that the catalyst phase composition remained unchanged before and after the reaction, still exhibiting a structure of molybdenum nitride coating on the molybdenum surface, demonstrating the stability of the catalyst and the practicality of the method.

Due to the low content, diethylamine was not detected.
[0093] Example 9
[0094] Example 9, based on the method of Example 1, replaced molybdenum powder with molybdenum trioxide, methanol with n-propanol, and adjusted the pre-activation temperature to 650°C.

[0096] Comparative Example 1

Compared with Example 1, the yield and selectivity were significantly reduced.
[0103] Conclusion: Low-temperature nitriding leads to insufficient formation of the active phase, affecting CN coupling efficiency.

[0112] Comparative Example 5
[0113] Procedure: The amination stage temperature was set to 400°C (other conditions were the same as in Example 1).
[0114] Results: The final ammonia concentration was 47.4 μmol / g, and no amine products were detected.
