CN101203306A discloses a kind of epoxidation catalyst, this catalyzer comprises titanium zeolite or vanadium zeolite, tackiness agent and zinc oxide, and described catalyzer is by preparing the aqueous mixture of described zeolite, adhesive source and zinc oxide source and described mixture is produced through rapid drying. Although that application discloses the catalyzer obtained in spray-drying process in conjunction with zinc compared with the catalyzer not containing zinc, the open-loop rate of propylene oxide significantly reduces, but then much higher than not open-loop rate containing the catalyzer of zinc in the open-loop rate forming after particle again catalyzer in conjunction with zinc by spraying dry. Therefore, according to the preparation method of the catalyzer of this application, processing sequence had extremely high dependency; Further, this application does not specifically disclose the transformation efficiency of hydrogen peroxide and the selectivity of propylene oxide in epoxidation process.
CN1418876A discloses a kind of olefin epoxidation catalysts, and by weight percentage, this catalyzer comprises the alumina supporter of following group of part: 10-50%; The HTS of 40-80%, HTS general formula is xTiO2��(1-x)SiO2, x=0.0005-0.04, wherein x is mol ratio, x=Ti/ (Si+Ti); The basic metal of 5-40% or alkaline earth metal oxide and mixture thereof. Although the propylene ring oxidation reaction of the catalyzer of this application for taking hydrogen peroxide as oxygenant, it is possible to obtain higher propylene oxide selectivity, but hydrogen peroxide low conversion rate, be only 85.1-93.5%.
Therefore, still a kind of like this catalyzer is needed, this catalyzer not only has enough hardness and wear resistance, and has high catalytic activity, simultaneously the epoxidation reaction of this catalyzer of use can also have high epoxidation product selectivity and hydrogen peroxide conversion.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the invention to provide a kind of olefin epoxidation catalysts and its preparation method, this olefin epoxidation catalysts has high crushing strength and demonstrates higher epoxide selectivity and hydrogen peroxide conversion in epoxidation reaction of olefines; The present invention also aims to provide a kind of method of epoxidation of olefins, the method has selectivity and the hydrogen peroxide conversion of higher epoxidation product.
The present invention provides a kind of olefin epoxidation catalysts, and wherein, this catalyzer contains HTS, binding agent and alkaline earth metal oxide, and described binding agent is soft silica.
Present invention also offers a kind of method for the preparation of described olefin epoxidation catalysts, wherein, the method comprises: the mixture of preparation containing HTS, binding agent source, alkaline earth metal oxide and water, obtains formed body by this mixture forming, and by dry for described formed body also roasting; Described binding agent source is be selected from by silicon sol, the silane with at least two hydrolysable group and at least one that has in the siloxanes of at least two hydrolysable group; In described mixture, HTS, with SiO2The weight ratio of binding agent source, alkaline earth metal oxide and the water counted is (70-98): (1.5-40): (0.05-25): (5-50).
Present invention also offers a kind of method of epoxidation of olefins, the method comprises in the presence of a catalyst, is contacted in a solvent with hydrogen peroxide by alkene, and wherein, described catalyzer is catalyzer provided by the invention.
Although when catalyzer disclosed in CN1418876A is used for epoxidation reaction, propylene oxide selectivity can reach more than 95%, but it is to be noted that, in the epoxidation reaction condition adopted in documents 1 embodiment, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is low, is only 0.78 mol/L. That is, the high propylene oxide selectivity that catalyzer disclosed in CN1418876A demonstrates in propylene ring oxidation reaction condition is based upon on the basis of the hydrogen peroxide using lower concentration, if improving the concentration of hydrogen peroxide further, catalyzer disclosed in CN1418876A is difficult to demonstrate high catalytic activity in propylene ring oxidation reaction, namely high propylene oxide selectivity and hydrogen peroxide conversion. The present inventor finds through research, and this may be owing to the acidity of aluminum oxide is relatively strong, causes the propylene oxide generated, on the acidic site of catalyzer, solvolytic reaction occurs, and then propylene oxide selectivity is reduced. For this problem, the present invention adopts acid much more weak than aluminum oxide soft silica as the binding agent of olefin epoxidation catalysts, thus decreases the quantity of acidic site on catalyzer.
The present inventor finds in an experiment further, although adopting soft silica can improve epoxide selectivity and the hydrogen peroxide conversion of epoxidation reaction of olefines, but the transformation efficiency of the selectivity of epoxide and hydrogen peroxide still awaits further raising; If adding a certain amount of alkaline earth metal oxide, then can significantly improve epoxide selectivity and the hydrogen peroxide conversion of olefin epoxidation catalysts. Although this may be owing to the acidity of soft silica is much weak compared with aluminum oxide, but still there is acidic site in the surface of soft silica, epoxide generation side reaction may be caused, add appropriate alkaline earth metal oxide in the catalyst, this alkaline earth metal oxide can carry out to the water in reaction system reacting the corresponding alkali of generation, such that it is able to the acidic site on neutralization HTS surface, and then improve the epoxide selectivity of epoxidation catalyst.
In addition, although adopting alkalimetal oxide can also realize the object neutralizing the acidic site on HTS surface, but the alkalescence of the alkali that the water in alkalimetal oxide and reaction system is formed after reacting is stronger, it is easy to make epoxide generation side reaction, and then epoxide selectivity is reduced. Therefore the olefin epoxidation catalysts of the present invention adopts alkaline earth metal oxide as metal oxide.
In the epoxidation reaction of propylene, adopt the olefin epoxidation catalysts of the present invention as catalyzer, and use the aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide as oxygenant, it is possible to making hydrogen peroxide conversion higher than 96%, epoxide selectivity is higher than 95%.
Method is simple for preparation olefin epoxidation catalysts according to the present invention, and do not use or substantially do not use organic solvent, therefore environmental protection. The hydrogen peroxide conversion height of the method for the epoxidation of olefins according to the present invention and the selectivity of epoxide are good.
