The present invention relates to a catalyst for preparing
vinyl acetate and a preparation method therefor, and the use thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: kneading,
drying, and shaping an ultrafine
silica gel powder, ultrafine diatomaceous earth, a silica
sol, and a
boron compound at a weight ratio of 100: (5-20): (10-60): (0.1-1), followed by
calcination at 150-650ºC for 1-6 h to prepare a
boron-doped composite SiO2 carrier; subjecting the carrier to
incipient wetness impregnation with rolling with a solution of
palladium and
gold compounds at a Pd / (Au+Pd)
molar ratio of 0.76-0.93 and a loading amount of 0.5%-1% relative to the carrier
mass, followed by
drying; treatment with an alkaline solution for 0.5-30 h, then
drying, and reduction at 300-650ºC in a
nitrogen-
hydrogen atmosphere for 1-6 h, and washing same with water until
chlorine-free, followed by drying; preparing a dilute
sol by mixing
copper acetate and cesium
oxide at a Cu / (Re+Cu)
molar ratio of 0.93-0.97 and a loading amount of 0.3%-1% with 0.5%-3%
aluminum phosphate, followed by
dip coating and drying; impregnating with a
potassium acetate solution at a loading amount of 0.2%-7.5%, and performing a heat treatment at a negative pressure at 60-200ºC for 1-6 h, to obtain a highly stable, long-life catalyst, which has high strength and few by-products.
