The application discloses a
chlorine-free type
palladium-based catalyst for gas-phase carbonyl synthesis of
dimethyl carbonate and a preparation method and application thereof. The catalyst comprises an
active component Pd and a
molecular sieve carrier; wherein the
molecular sieve carrier is further loaded with structural stabilizing aids Cu, K and
metal M; in the catalyst, the Pd is 0.25-2% in
mass percentage, the Cu is 0.05-10% in
mass percentage, the K is 0.01-5% in
mass percentage, and the M is 0.01-1% in mass percentage. The catalyst is prepared by firstly loading the Cu, K and
metal M on the
molecular sieve carrier to obtain a skeleton-modified Cu-K-M-molecular
sieve carrier, configuring the carrier into a suspension, then adding a
palladium precursor solution drop by drop into the suspension for
ion exchange, and finally calcining in an oxidizing
atmosphere. The catalyst has
high activity and high stability, and the preparation method is simple, green and environment-friendly. When applied to a CO and
methyl nitrite gas-phase carbonyl synthesis process of
dimethyl carbonate, the catalyst can eliminate the problems of deactivation of a
chlorine-containing catalyst and
corrosion of equipment, and has industrial application potential.
