The invention provides a preparation method and application of a
nitrile compound hydrogenation catalyst based on
polypyrrole derived carbon
fiber loaded
metal nickel. The catalyst is formed by taking PPy-derived carbon
fiber as a carrier and uniformly dispersing
metallic nickel on the surface of the carrier through a loading process, and a PPy-derived carbon
fiber precursor is prepared; the preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving active
nickel metal salt and a precipitator in water, adding PPy derived
carbon fibers as a precursor, and carrying out hydrothermal stirring,
centrifugal filtration and low-temperature
drying; and carrying out high-temperature
calcination to obtain the highly dispersed
nickel-loaded PPy catalyst. The catalyst prepared by the method provided by the invention can be suitable for selective hydrogenation of
nitrile compounds to synthesize amine compounds, especially for hydrogenation of
adiponitrile or 6-aminocapronitrile to prepare
hexamethylenediamine, and the catalyst takes PPy derived carbon fiber as a carrier; the rich
nitrogen defects and pore structures of PPy are utilized to realize
metal capture and high-stability dispersion, and the conductive property provided by the PPy derived
carbon layer promotes
electron transport, so that the activity of the catalyst is improved.
