Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalytic hydrogenation technology, and more specifically to a fixed-bed continuous catalytic hydrogenation system for the preparation of p-phenylenediamine. Background Technology
[0002] p-Phenylenediamine is an important chemical intermediate with a wide range of applications. Its downstream applications include high-performance materials and aramid fibers (para-aramid PPTA), as well as a raw material for rubber antioxidants. In the dye and pigment industry, it is a raw material for azo dyes and specialty dyes. It is an important intermediate in the synthesis of various direct dyes, acid dyes, and disperse dyes. These dyes are used for dyeing fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, and nylon. In the pharmaceutical field, it is a key intermediate in the synthesis of some drugs; 1,4-cyclohexanediamine, obtained by hydrogenation of its benzene ring, also has important applications in high-performance polyamides; CN 109503386 A / CN109867606 A provides a method for preparing p-phenylenediamine by hydrogenation in a batch reactor, but the batch reactor has low efficiency, the batch-produced products are unstable, and the Ni-based catalyst used is flammable with air, posing a significant safety risk; CN102701995 A / CN 105732396 A uses a mixed solution batch reactor to prepare p-phenylenediamine, which has low efficiency and the catalyst can only be reused 5-30 times, resulting in high catalyst usage costs; Currently, industrial production is based on batch-type processes, which are inefficient, have large quality fluctuations between production batches, cause serious waste of labor and energy, and require a large area. Furthermore, batch-type processes generally use nickel-based catalysts, which are highly flammable and pose significant safety risks, or palladium-based or platinum-based catalysts, which are used less frequently and result in high costs, or sulfide reduction, which generates a large amount of wastewater, thus failing to meet the concept of green environmental protection.

[0036] Beneficial effects: This invention employs a three-layer heterogeneous catalyst gradient packing design. The first layer, a supported Pt / Al2O3 spherical catalyst, serves as a preliminary buffer and traps impurities. The second layer, a supported Pt / C clover-shaped catalyst, utilizes its irregular structure to increase the surface contact area, thereby optimizing mass transfer efficiency and effectively reducing bed pressure drop. The third layer, a supported Pt-Re / C cylindrical catalyst, introduces the Re promoter alloy synergistic effect, which not only enhances the deep hydrogenation capability but also effectively inhibits catalyst carbon deposition, ensuring an ultra-long stability of up to 800 hours.
[0037] This process significantly shortens the reaction time per batch through continuous production, effectively solving the inefficiency problem of traditional processes requiring 4 to 14 hours. It achieves a high level of output with a raw material conversion rate of over 99.7% and a selectivity of over 99.8%, and the catalyst can operate continuously and stably in the fixed bed for more than 800 hours without activity decay.

Deionized water is added while stirring and kneaded until the mixture is plastic. The material is extruded into cylindrical strips with a diameter of 2.0 mm using an extruder. After drying at 110°C, the material is placed in a tube furnace and calcined at 600°C for 2 hours under nitrogen protection. The carbonized carrier is then washed with a 5% nitric acid solution, washed with deionized water until neutral, and dried.
[0043] Weigh 7.96g of chloroplatinic acid (calculated as H2PtCl6·6H2O) and 1.44g of ammonium perrhenate (calculated as NH4ReO4), dissolve them in deionized water, add deionized water to make the solution volume 100mL, adjust the hydrochloric acid concentration to 0.2 mol / L, and stir thoroughly to prepare the impregnation solution.
[0044] Take 100g of dried carbon carrier and place it in a container. Spray the impregnation solution evenly onto the surface of the carrier, allowing the liquid to completely penetrate into the pores of the carrier. Let it stand at room temperature for 18 hours, and then dry it at 110℃ to constant weight.
[0045] The dried sample was placed in a tube furnace and purged with pure hydrogen. Under a hydrogen atmosphere, it was slowly heated to 400°C at a heating rate of 2°C / min and maintained at a constant temperature for 5 hours. Then, it was naturally cooled to room temperature under hydrogen protection to obtain a cylindrical Pt-Re / C catalyst (Pt loading 3.0 wt% and Re loading 1.0 wt%).
[0046] Example 2 Activated carbon powder and binder guar gum powder (5 wt%, based on the mass of activated carbon powder) were thoroughly mixed. Deionized water was slowly added under continuous stirring and kneaded until the mixture reached a plastic state. The kneaded material was transferred to an extruder with a clover-shaped die (inscribed circle diameter 2.0 mm) for extrusion molding. The resulting clover-shaped wet strips were dried at 110°C for 12 hours, then placed in a tube furnace and calcined at 600°C for 2 hours under nitrogen protection. The carbonized carrier was then impregnated with a 5% nitric acid solution, finally washed with deionized water until neutral, and dried to obtain the clover-shaped carbon carrier.
[0047] Weigh 7.96g of chloroplatinic acid and dissolve it in deionized water. Adjust its concentration to 0.2 mol / L with hydrochloric acid and add water to 100mL to prepare the impregnation solution.
[0048] Place 100g of clover-shaped charcoal carrier in a container, spray 100mL of impregnation solution evenly onto the carrier to ensure complete absorption of the liquid, let stand at room temperature for 18 hours, and then dry at 110℃ to constant weight.
[0049] The dried sample was placed in a tube furnace and purged with hydrogen. Under a hydrogen atmosphere, it was heated to 400°C at a heating rate of 2°C / min and maintained at a constant temperature for 5 hours. After the reaction was completed, it was naturally cooled to room temperature under hydrogen protection to obtain a clover-shaped Pt / C catalyst (Pt loading 3.0 wt%).
[0050] Example 3 Select activated alumina balls with a diameter of 2.0~3.0mm and place them in a muffle furnace. Calcinate them in air at 550℃ for 4 hours. After calcination, allow the carrier to cool naturally to room temperature.
[0051] Weigh 1.32g of chloroplatinic acid (calculated as H2PtCl6·6H2O) and dissolve it in deionized water. Adjust its concentration to 0.2 mol / L with hydrochloric acid and add water to 100mL to prepare the impregnation solution.
[0052] 100g of pretreated spherical alumina carrier was placed in a container, and 100mL of impregnation solution was sprayed evenly onto the carrier to ensure complete absorption of the liquid. The carrier was left to stand at room temperature for 18 hours, and then dried at 110℃ to constant weight.
[0053] The dried sample was then placed in a tube furnace and heated to 450°C at a heating rate of 5°C / min under a hydrogen atmosphere. The temperature was maintained at a constant temperature for 4 hours. After the reduction was completed, the sample was cooled to room temperature under hydrogen protection to obtain a Pt / Al2O3 spherical catalyst (Pt loading 0.5wt%).
[0054] Example 4 This embodiment uses a three-layer heterogeneous catalyst segmented loading fixed bed. The specific loading process is as follows: The fixed-bed reactor is sequentially filled along the material flow direction with a first layer of 0.5% Pt / Al2O3 spherical catalyst (20% of the height), a second layer of 3% Pt / C clover-shaped catalyst (50% of the height), and a third layer of cylindrical Pt-Re / C catalyst (30% of the height).
[0055]
[0056] p-Nitroaniline and isopropanol were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:4 to form a mixture. The mixture and hydrogen (molar ratio of p-nitroaniline to hydrogen was 1:5) were simultaneously fed to a preheater and preheated to 80°C. After entering a gas-liquid mixer, the mixture was homogenized and then fed to a fixed bed containing three layers of heterogeneous catalysts. The temperature of the fixed bed was controlled at 80°C. The hourly feed mass of p-nitroaniline to the total mass of catalyst was space velocity ratio of 0.3:1, and the residence time was 1 minute. The reaction liquid flowing out of the fixed bed was condensed in a condenser and then flowed into a gas-liquid separator with a back pressure of 1.0 MPa. The residual p-nitroaniline and the yield of p-phenylenediamine in the separated product liquid were detected.
[0057] Comparative Example 1 The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 4 lies in the loading method of the fixed bed. The loading method of Comparative Example 1 is as follows: The fixed-bed reactor is sequentially filled with a first layer of 0.5% Pt / Al2O3 spherical catalyst (40% of the height) and a second layer of 3% Pt / C clover-shaped catalyst (60% of the height) along the material flow direction.
[0058] Comparative Example 1 is the same as Example 4 in all other respects.
[0059] Comparative Example 2 The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 4 lies in the loading method of the fixed bed. The loading method of Comparative Example 2 is as follows: The fixed-bed reactor is sequentially packed along the material flow direction with a first layer of cylindrical Pt-Re / C catalyst accounting for 30% of the height, a second layer of clover-shaped catalyst accounting for 3% of the height (50%), and a third layer of spherical catalyst accounting for 0.5% of the height (20%).
[0060] Comparative Example 2 is the same as Example 4.
[0061] Comparative Example 3 The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 4 lies in the loading method of the fixed bed. The loading method of Comparative Example 3 is as follows: The fixed-bed reactor is sequentially filled with a first layer of clover-shaped catalyst (70% of the height) consisting of 3% Pt / C, and a second layer of cylindrical Pt-Re / C catalyst (30% of the height) along the material flow direction.
[0062] Comparative Example 3 is the same as Example 4.
[0063] Comparative Example 4 The difference between Comparative Example 4 and Example 4 lies in the loading method of the fixed bed. The loading method of Comparative Example 4 is as follows: Filling method: The fixed bed reactor is filled sequentially along the material flow direction with a first layer of 0.5% Pt / Al2O3 spherical catalyst accounting for 20% of the height, and a second layer of 3% Pt / C clover-shaped catalyst accounting for 80% of the height.
[0064] Comparative Example 4 is the same as Example 4 in all other respects.
[0065] Comparative Example 5 The difference between Comparative Example 5 and Example 4 lies in the loading method of the fixed bed. The loading method of Comparative Example 5 is as follows: Filling method: The fixed bed reactor was completely filled with the clover-shaped 3% Pt / C catalyst prepared in Example 2, with a filling height of 100%.
[0066] Comparative Example 5 is the same as Example 4.
[0067] Comparative Example 6 The difference between Comparative Example 6 and Example 4 lies in the loading method of the fixed bed. The loading method of Comparative Example 6 is as follows: Filling method: Replace the second layer of 3% Pt / C clover-shaped catalyst with a 3% Pt / C cylindrical catalyst of equal volume and height, with a diameter of 2.0 mm.
[0068] Comparative Example 6 is the same as Example 4.
[0069] Example 5 Examples 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were run continuously for T hours. The residual rate (%) of p-nitroaniline and the yield (%) of p-phenylenediamine in the product liquid separated in the gas-liquid separator were determined by gas chromatography. The results are shown in Table 1. Table 1
[0070] Example 4 of this invention employs a three-layer heterogeneous catalyst gradient loading process. The first layer uses a 0.5% Pt / Al2O3 spherical catalyst, which initially buffers and traps impurities. The second layer uses a 3% Pt / C clover-shaped catalyst. The clover-shaped catalyst's heterogeneous structure can significantly increase the external surface area, optimize mass transfer efficiency, and effectively reduce bed pressure drop. The supported Pt-Re / C cylindrical catalyst, through the introduction of Re metal, generates an alloy synergistic effect, enhances hydrogenation capacity, and effectively inhibits catalyst carbon deposition. During the reaction lasting up to 800 hours, the product output remained stable. As shown in Table 1, Comparative Examples 1 and 4, due to the lack of Re metal, showed a significant increase in p-nitroaniline residue after 400 hours of operation, indicating a certain degree of catalyst deactivation. Sampling revealed that the cause was insufficient anti-carbon deposition ability.
[0071] Compared to Example 4, Comparative Example 2 shows that the Pt-Re / C layer comes into contact with the raw material first, causing the Pt-Re / C layer to deactivate prematurely. Comparative Examples 3 and 5 either lack the first alumina buffer layer or use a single catalyst, resulting in low reaction conversion efficiency and shortened catalyst life. Compared to Example 4, Comparative Example 6 demonstrates that the clover-shaped structure is superior to the ordinary cylindrical structure in improving mass transfer efficiency.
[0072] The three-layer gradient design in Example 4 of this invention achieved excellent results with a reaction selectivity of over 99.8% and a raw material conversion rate of over 99.7% during a run of up to 800 hours.

Those skilled in the art will readily be able to modify or appropriately alter and combine the methods and applications described herein within the scope, spirit, and context of this invention to implement and apply the technology of this invention. Those skilled in the art can refer to the content herein to appropriately improve process parameters. It should be particularly noted that all similar substitutions and modifications are obvious to those skilled in the art and are considered to be included within the scope of this invention.
