For the preparation of Catalysts and its preparation method and the application of 2-alkyl-anthraquinone
Technical field
The present invention relates to and a kind ofly synthesize complex acid catalyst of 2-alkyl-anthraquinone and preparation method thereof; particularly with 2-(4 '-alkylbenzoyl) benzoic acid is that the Catalysts and its preparation method used in 2-alkyl-anthraquinone process prepared by raw material, and the application of this catalyst in preparation 2-alkyl-anthraquinone.
Background technology
Alkyl-anthraquinone is important fine chemical material, with C
1~ C
5alkyl derivative outbalance, wherein 2-alkyl-anthraquinone has practicality most, is mainly used in hydrogen peroxide synthetic catalyst, in addition also as sensitising agent, the medicine and pesticide intermediate etc. of dyestuff intermediate, degradative resin.Along with the fast development of the industry such as global hydrogen peroxide and synthetic resin, 2-alkyl-anthraquinone especially high-quality 2-alkyl-anthraquinone demand is increased sharply, makes 2-alkyl-anthraquinone become quite potential serial fine chemistry.
2-alkyl-anthraquinone is serial fine chemical product, principal item 2-methylanthraquinone, 2-EAQ, 2-amyl anthraquinone, 2-tertiary pentyl anthraquinone and 2-tert-butyl group anthraquinone etc.Usual 2-alkyl-anthraquinone is flaxen solid, and fusing point, lower than anthraquinone, is dissolved in benzene, can be recrystallized by ethanol or acetic acid.2-alkyl-anthraquinone is mainly used in the anthraquinone carrier preparing hydrogen peroxide, also can be used as the intermediate of degradative resin, photopolymer materials or fuel.Along with the fast development of the industry such as global hydrogen peroxide and synthetic resin, the output of 2-alkyl-anthraquinone and anthraquinone can not meet growing needs.
The method of traditional production 2-alkyl-anthraquinone mainly adopts phthalic anhydride and alkylbenzene to be that raw material generates intermediate product 2-(4 '-alkylbenzoyl by acyl group method) benzoic acid; intermediate product 2-(4 '-alkylbenzoyl) benzoic acid process hydrolysis again; closed loop; distillating recovering solvent, redox purification and ethanol distillation abstraction technique finally obtain object product 2-alkyl-anthraquinone.Needed for the method, chemical technology is long; and need a large amount of alchlors and the concentrated sulfuric acid to make catalyst in course of reaction, WO96/286140 devises a kind of with 2-(4 '-alkylbenzoyl) benzoic acid mixture is the method that raw material utilizes that the concentrated sulfuric acid or oleum are Catalyst Production 2-EAQ.The shortcoming of this method is that the concentrated sulfuric acid and oleum have stronger corrosivity and environmental hazard, and post processing work is more loaded down with trivial details.Therefore people try hard to prepare 2-EAQ with a kind of eco-friendly catalyst.
Beta zeolite is the zeolite molecular sieve of the height accumulation defect that tetragonal crystal system and monoclinic system form jointly, has three-dimensional twelve-ring duct, and has good hydrothermal stability and anti-coking performance.At present to Beta zeolite catalysis performance, as the aspects such as the cracking of hydro carbons and isomery, toluene disproportionation, the transalkylation of multi-methyl benzene, the disproportionation of large molecule naphthalene conduct extensive research.E. Santacesaria etc. are at CATALYSIS TODAY 66(2001) report with 2-(benzoyl in 167 ~ 174) benzoic acid is raw material; the Beta zeolite exchanged through a step acid is catalyst; reactant dehydration closed-loop is made to synthesize the technique of anthraquinone; obtain good effect, but reaction temperature is higher.In synthesis 2-alkyl-anthraquinone process, come off and the problem such as isomerization owing to there is alkyl in course of reaction, therefore will obtain highly purified 2-alkyl-anthraquinone relatively difficult.CN200410155473.5 is the acid Beta zeolite utilizing ammonium nitrate or acid solution exchange system to obtain is catalyst synthesis 2-alkyl-anthraquinone, and the reaction time required when adopting this catalyst is longer, and reaction temperature is higher.
In synthesis anthraquinone process, US4304724 utilizes 2-(benzoyl) benzoic acid synthesizes anthraquinone under the effect of fluorinated sulfonic resin crossed by catalyst.This catalyst system and catalyzing environmentally safe, operating condition is gentle.But shortcoming is 2-(benzoyl) conversion of benzoic acid is lower, and anthraquinone is selective not high.CN1879965A discloses a kind of catalyst produced for 2-alkyl-anthraquinone and anthraquinone, carry out modification by twice pair of Beta zeolite, wherein first time modification is as the acid solution such as citric acid, acetic acid or ammonium salt solution and Beta molecular sieve exchange with non-metal cations solution, second time modification, the modifier of employing is acid solution or metal oxide.When this catalyst is used for intermittent reaction, 2-(4 '-ethylamino benzonitrile acyl group) benzoic conversion ratio and 2-EAQ selective higher.
In above-mentioned synthesis anthraquinone process, adopt modification Beta molecular sieve as catalyst, mainly utilize the tiny catalyst granules of Beta molecular sieve to provide enough reactivities, therefore, existing synthesis anthraquinone process is still employing intermittent operation, so just can give full play to the performance of Beta molecular sieve, improve the conversion ratio of reactant and the selective of target product.At present, this synthesis anthraquinone process is owing to being subject to the restriction of catalyst performance, still cannot realize fixed bed continued operation, because shaping of catalyst need be made the particle of greater particle size by fixed bed continued operation, and the tiny particle of Beta molecular sieve is after shaping, its outer surface sharply reduces, and the performance of molecular sieve can not be not fully exerted, thus causes reaction effect undesirable.
