The invention relates to the technical field of
chemical engineering, and discloses a preparation method of
alcohol amine with
low carbon dioxide emission, which comprises the following steps: step 1, introducing
ethanol and
ammonia gas into a
fixed bed reactor according to a
molar ratio of 1: 1.2-1: 1.5, reacting in the presence of a Pd / SO42-ZrO2-SiO2 catalyst to generate a
primary alcohol amine intermediate, wherein the catalyst comprises 2.5-3.5 parts by
mass of
palladium and 96.5-97.5 parts by
mass of a ZrO2-SiO2 composite carrier, the
molar ratio of Zr to Si is 1: 4, and the content of
sulfate radicals on the surface of the carrier is 0.8-1.2 mmol / g; the
reaction temperature is 80 to 90 DEG C, and the pressure is 0.5 to 0.6 MPa; 2, introducing a product obtained in the step 1 into a two-stage series adsorption
tower system; and step 3, carrying out
pressure reduction treatment on the adsorbent at the pressure of-0.09 to-0.10 MPa and the temperature of less than or equal to 40 DEG C, and recovering
carbon dioxide. According to the method, a Pd / SO42-ZrO2-SiO2 catalyst
system is adopted, so that
ethanol and
ammonia gas efficiently react to generate a
primary alcohol amine intermediate; compared with a traditional catalyst
system with the problems of easy
carbon deposition and fast activity attenuation, the catalyst has the advantages of higher stability, by-product reduction and target product selectivity improvement.
