The invention relates to application of a non-
noble metal catalyst Cu-ZnO / TiO2 in catalytic synthesis of N, N '-dicyclohexyl p-phenylenediamine in a heterogeneous
system, and belongs to the technical field of catalyst preparation and application. According to the catalyst,
zinc nitrate hexahydrate serves as a
zinc source,
copper nitrate trihydrate serves as a
copper source, P25 type
titanium dioxide serves as a carrier,
metal is loaded on
titanium dioxide through a
fractional precipitation method, the
titanium dioxide is put into a tubular furnace for
hydrogen reduction, a catalyst Cu-ZnO / TiO2 is obtained, then the catalyst Cu-ZnO / TiO2 is dispersed in a
solvent, and the novel rubber anti-aging agent N, N-
dimethylformamide is synthesized by catalyzing a photo-thermal reduction
amination reaction of p-phenylenediamine and
cyclohexanone. The catalyst is N, N '-dicyclohexyl p-phenylenediamine. Wherein the Cu-ZnO / TiO2 catalyst with the content of
copper being 7% and the content of
zinc oxide being 4% has excellent catalytic performance, the conversion rate of p-phenylenediamine reaches 100% and the selectivity of N, N '-dicyclohexyl p-phenylenediamine reaches 99.9% when the
hydrogen pressure is 6 MPa, the temperature is 200 DEG C and the reaction is performed for 10 h. The preparation method is simple, low in cost and high in catalytic selectivity, and has a wide industrialization prospect.
