Background technology
Coal-ethylene glycol mainly divided for three steps, the first step: the CO dehydrogenation purifies after the coal based synthetic gas process transformation adsorbing separation; Second step: CO gaseous oxidation coupling producing oxalic ester; The 3rd step: hydrogenation of oxalate for preparing ethylene glycol.Wherein, CO gaseous oxidation coupling producing oxalic ester is to realize the committed step that inorganic CO transforms to the organic chemicals oxalate in the middle of the coal-ethylene glycol.Oxalate is a kind of important Organic Chemicals, can be used for preparing the intermediate of ethylene glycol, oxalic acid, oxalyl chloride, oxamides, some drugs, dyestuff and solvent.At present, domestic oxalic acid and the alcohol of still adopting is that dehydrating agent esterification dehydration method is produced oxalate with toluene or benzene.This method production technology cost is high, energy consumption is big, seriously polluted, prepared using is unreasonable.The sixties in 20th century, U.S. Fenton reported that the direct coupling of a kind of CO and alcohol becomes the method for oxalate, the new way of having opened up C1 chemical synthesis oxalate, but this reaction needed is carried out under pressurized conditions.Patent JP8242.656 openly speciallys permit communique and has reported a kind of employing load type palladium catalyst, utilizes the technological process of CO and methyl nitrite normal pressure synthesizing dimethyl oxalate.This technology Atom economy is good, reaction condition is gentle, less energy consumption, three-waste free discharge, good product quality.The catalyst space-time yield of this patent report is 432gL
-1H
-1, through 480 hours successive reactions, yield did not reduce, but its noble metal use amount is big, the catalyst cost is higher, and space-time yield is lower.There are a lot of patents to report in succession subsequently and in catalyst, add Zr (CN95116136.9), Ce (CN02111624.5), Ti (CN200710061392.2), La (CN200810114383.X), Ir (CN200810035248.6), Ni (CN200910307543.7), Cu (CN200910060087.0), MO
x(CN200910061854.X) etc. auxiliary agent improves the space-time yield of oxalate.The space-time yield of oxalate improves to some extent behind the adding auxiliary agent, but the consumption of major catalyst Pd is still than higher.At present, the actual negative carrying capacity of Pd is about 2% on the commercial plant.In addition, the catalyst of having reported in patent and the document all adopts traditional immersion process for preparing, and this method need experience steps such as dipping, drying, roasting, high temperature reduction, and the cycle is long, energy consumption is high, and can't carry out accuracy controlling to the size and the exposed crystal face of Pd particle.And the size of Pd particle and exposed crystal face are two very important parameters that influence catalytic activity.Therefore, develop a kind of easy fast method prepare CO gaseous oxidation coupling producing oxalic ester with low noble metal load capacity, size and exposed crystal face controlled, the high-activity nano catalyst has great economy and is worth.
