Description

Process for the hydrogenation of acids to alcohols
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for preparing alcohol by hydrogenating acid, especially a method for directly hydrogenating carboxylic monoacid, diacid or naphthenoid with carboxyl (-COOH) into alcohol.
Background
However, the utilization of fossil fuels causes a great deal of environmental pollution, and fossil fuels are non-renewable, and resources are increasingly scarce, so that the search for other methods for producing monohydric alcohols and dihydric alcohols is the focus of research in related industries at present.
Although it is known that monohydric and dihydric alcohols can be obtained by hydrogenation of organic acids, the conditions for hydrogenation of carboxylic acids are very severe because of the low electrophilicity of the C ═ O bonds in organic acids, for example: higher reaction temperature and higher hydrogen pressure, etc. The more common way to hydrogenate acids to alcohols is a two-step process of esterifying organic acids and then further hydrogenating the esters to alcohols.
In order to increase the yield of the hydrogenation reaction, acid hydrogenation is often carried out using a noble metal catalyst having high activity together with one or more metals, and it has been reported that a copper-based catalyst is used in the reaction, but only a hydroxyl group-containing monobasic acid is hydrogenated to an alcohol.

The results show that, as shown in example 1 of table 1, adipic acid was successfully converted into hexanediol by the preparation method of the present invention, and the product yield was as high as 95.9%, confirming that the preparation method of the present invention can be applied to the direct hydrogenation of carboxylic acids to alcohols, and that the preparation method of the present invention can be applied to the direct hydrogenation of dibasic acids to glycols, and the product yield was as high as 95% or more.
As shown in example 2 of table 1, the preparation method of the present invention successfully converts 1, 4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid into 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol with a product yield as high as 97.2%, confirming that the preparation method of the present invention can be applied to the direct hydrogenation of naphthenic carboxylic acid into cycloalkanol, and that the preparation method of the present invention can be applied to the direct hydrogenation of naphthenic dibasic acid into naphthenic diol with a product yield of more than 95%.

As shown in examples 10 to 12 in table 1, the preparation method of the present invention can successfully convert dibasic acids such as succinic acid, glutaric acid, and sebacic acid into diols such as butanediol, pentanediol, and decanediol, and their corresponding diols, respectively, in addition to converting adipic acid into hexanediol, and the product yield reaches 95.1% to 97.2%, so that the preparation method of the present invention for hydrogenating acids into alcohols can directly hydrogenate dibasic acids into diols, and the product yield reaches 95% or more.

[ preparation example 2]Copper silicon shell (Cu/SiO)2) Preparation of the catalyst
(1) 15g of copper nitrate was taken and added to 13ml of pure water.
(2) An aqueous solution of copper nitrate was uniformly sprayed on 16g of silica.
(3) It was placed in an oven at 60 ℃ and dried overnight.
(4) Finally, the catalyst is put into a high-temperature furnace at 400 ℃ to be calcined for 4 hours to obtain the shell-shaped copper-silicon catalyst.
Comparative example 1
The reaction was carried out in the same manner as in example 1 except that the catalyst was changed to that of preparation example 2, whereby the yield of hexanediol was 69.3%.
Comparative example 2
Except that the catalyst was changed to commercially available non-lamellar Cu/SiO2The reaction was carried out in the same manner as in example 1 except for using a catalyst (CU60/8T, Johnson Matthey corporation), whereby the yield of hexanediol was 72.8%.
Comparative example 3
Except that the catalyst is changed into a commercial noble metal Ru/Al2O3A reaction was carried out in the same manner as in example 1 except for using a catalyst (T-8403, manufactured by Clariant corporation), whereby the yield of hexanediol was 52.6%.
Comparative example 4
The reaction was carried out in the same manner as in example 1 except that the catalyst was changed to a commercially available Cu/Al/Mn multimetal Cu/Al catalyst (T-8706, manufactured by Clariant Co., Ltd.), whereby the yield of hexanediol was 76.6%.
Thus, the catalyst component used has Cu/SiO2However, the yields of the products of comparative examples 1 and 2, which do not have a layered structure, were 69.3% and 72.8%, respectively, which is much lower than the yield of 95.9% of the product of example 1 under the same reaction conditions. If the catalysts containing copper component are compared (i.e., comparative examples 1, 2, 4), the yield of the product is about 69% -77%, which is much lower than the yield of 95.9% of the product obtained in example 1 under the same reaction conditions. Furthermore, generally speaking, higher product yields would be expected using noble metal catalysts, but comparative example 3 uses a commercially available noble metal catalyst Ru/Al2O3The product yield of (a) is only 52.6%, which is much lower than the product yield of 95.9% of example 1 under the same reaction conditions. It is apparent that the yields of hydrogenation of adipic acid to hexanediol in comparative examples 1 to 4 are only 52.6% to 76.6%, which is much lower than the yield of the product of example 1 in which adipic acid is also converted, i.e. the preparation process of the present invention using a copper-containing layered silicate as a reaction catalyst, not only allows the acid to be hydrogenated to the corresponding alcohol in only one step, but also results in superior efficacy which cannot be achieved with other alternative catalysts.
[ preparation example 3]
A copper-containing layered silicate catalyst was obtained in the same manner as in preparation example 1, except that 7g of copper nitrate and 21ml of aqueous ammonia were used.
[ preparation example 4]
