The invention relates to the technical field of
fine chemical engineering, and particularly discloses a preparation method and a catalyst of 2-chloroethanol.
Activated carbon provided by the invention has a high specific surface area and a porous structure, can be used as a
mass transfer channel to promote
diffusion of
ethylene glycol and HCl to ZrO2 active sites, and can be used for preparing 2-chloroethanol through an
addition reaction between double bonds.
Maleic acid is grafted on the composite carrier, a
carboxylic acid group passes through hydroxyl of protonated
ethylene glycol to form a protonated intermediate, the nucleophilicity of the hydroxyl is reduced in the process, the
electron deficiency of hydroxyl
oxygen is enhanced, the hydroxyl
oxygen is more easily substituted by Cl <->, and the
catalytic effect of the catalyst is improved under the combined action of the
carboxylic acid group and
zirconium oxide; meanwhile, the
activated carbon serves as a
solid supporting body, so that the catalyst is easily recycled through
filtration or
centrifugation, the problem that a traditional homogeneous catalyst (such as
adipic acid) is difficult to recycle is solved, and in addition, the catalyst provided by the invention still has a good
catalytic effect after being recycled and reused.
