Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a regenerated epoxidation catalyst. The method comprises the following steps: providing a proper amount of waste epoxidation catalyst, and depositing additive silver with the quantity more than or equal to 1wt% on the waste epoxidation catalyst based on the weight of the waste epoxidation catalyst by virtue of a deposition precipitation method; before depositing the additive silver on the waste epoxidation catalyst, washing the waste epoxidation catalyst by contacting the waste epoxidation catalyst with water-containing solvents for a period of time, and reducing the washed waste epoxidation catalyst at 120-180 DEG C for 4-6 hours in the presence of hydrogen, wherein the solvents are methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, tetrahydrofuran, glycol, glycol dimethyl ether, diglyme, acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, and the proportion of the solvents to water is (1 to 15)-(2 to 1). The regenerated epoxidation catalyst regenerated by virtue of a regeneration process has relatively high selectivity, and the yield is basically same as that of a fresh catalyst, so that the use value of the waste catalyst is greatly increased.

Description

A kind of method preparing the epoxidation catalyst of regeneration
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method preparing the epoxidation catalyst of regeneration.
Background technology
Oxirane and other alkylene oxide are important industrial chemicals, and it is as the raw material preparing such as ethylene glycol, propane diols, glycol ether, ethylene carbonate, monoethanolamine and washing agent and so on chemicals.A kind of method of producing alkylene oxide is by alkene epoxidation, that is makes olefin catalytic partial oxidation obtain alkylene oxide with oxygen.The silver catalyst of the catalyst producing oxirane for ethene and molecular oxygen normally on carrier.This kind of catalyst adopts alkali metal as co-catalyst usually.At United States Patent (USP) U.S3,962,136 (mandate on June 8th, 1976) and U.S4, mention the effective co-catalyst adopting a small amount of alkali metal potassium, rubidium, caesium as the silver catalyst on carrier in 010,115 (mandates on March 1st, 1977).United States Patent (USP) U.S4,766,105 (mandate on August 23rd, 1988) and U.S4,808,738 (mandates on February 28th, 1989) disclose the application of other co-catalyst, as the mixture of rhenium or rhenium and sulphur, molybdenum, tungsten or chromium.United States Patent (USP) U.S4,908,343 (mandates on March 13 nineteen ninety) disclose a kind of containing the silver catalyst on the carrier of cesium salt mixture, and cesium salt mixture is made up of cesium salt and one or more alkali metal salts or alkali salt.
In epoxidation process, catalyst experience performance reduces, and this itself shows as catalyst activity and forms the selective loss of required alkylene oxide.In order to tackle loss of activity, epoxidation reaction temperature can be raised, so that the speed of production of alkylene oxide is maintained.The operation of commercial reactors is subject to the restriction of reaction temperature usually.When reaching adoptable temperature extremes, the speed of production of alkylene oxide reduces, or must interrupt the production of alkylene oxide, to replace existing epoxidation catalyst charging with fresh charging.
