The application discloses a method for preparing 1,3-
propanediol by one-step hydration and hydrogenation of propenal with a modified
molecular sieve as a catalyst. The Ni-SAPO-11
molecular sieve catalyst is prepared by an in-situ
hydrothermal synthesis method, and the steps are as follows: firstly,
phosphoric acid, an aluminum source, a
nickel salt and a template 1 are fully mixed, and pre-
crystallization is carried out to obtain a precursor gel; then, the precursor gel, a
silicon source and a template 2 are fully mixed, and
crystallization is carried out, and after
filtration, washing,
drying and
calcination, a catalyst precursor is obtained; finally, after
reduction treatment, the Ni-SAPO-11
molecular sieve catalyst is obtained. The prepared Ni-SAPO-11 catalyst has both acid centers and
metal centers, can simultaneously catalyze the
hydration reaction of propenal and the
hydrogenation reaction of the hydration product 3-hydroxypropanal, is applied to the reaction of preparing 1,3-
propanediol by one-step hydration and hydrogenation of propenal, has a simple flow process, low
energy consumption, high 1,3-
propanediol yield and a good industrial application prospect.
