Preparation method of supported heteropoly acid catalyst
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of catalyst preparation, in particular to a preparation method of a supported heteropolyacid catalyst.
Background
The heteropoly acid is used as a high-efficiency catalyst with both acidity and redox performance, and has wide application in the fields of petrochemical industry, organic synthesis and the like.
Keggin first proposed a Keggin-type heteropolyacid configuration in 1934 by a young physicist j.f. Keggin of the Bragg group of manchester, uk, and began a study of heteropolyacids and their applications. The industrialization of propylene hydration to produce isopropanol in Japan in the last 70 th century has been successfully realized by adopting heteropoly acid, and since then, heteropoly acid has been widely noticed by people as a catalyst in organic synthesis and petrochemical industry.
The specific surface area of the heteropoly acid is small compared with that of the molecular sieve catalyst, so in practical application, the heteropoly acid is usually loaded on a suitable carrier to improve the specific surface area and increase the reaction efficiency. The preparation method of the supported heteropolyacid catalyst generally comprises an impregnation method and an adsorption method.
The dipping method adopts a general dipping method, a certain amount of heteropoly acid is taken and dissolved in water, a certain amount of carrier is added, the mixture is stirred for a plurality of hours at a fixed temperature, the heteropoly acid is dipped into the carrier, and then a sample is dried in a water bath. The adsorption method comprises the steps of putting a certain amount of carrier into a beaker, adding a heteropoly acid aqueous solution with a certain content into the beaker, heating for a certain time, standing, pouring out liquid, measuring the amount of heteropoly acid adsorbed in the catalyst by using the residual mother liquor, and drying the prepared solid heteropoly acid catalyst for later use.
The research institute of petrochemical industry for the well-being and petrochemical industry is dedicatedThe method provides a reaction for preparing tert-butylamine by direct amination of isobutene under catalysis of heteropoly acid as a catalyst in CN99113280.7, and the conversion per pass of isobutene can reach 12%. The american german corporation also reported in its patent US05304681A the better catalytic effect of heteropolyacid catalysts on isobutylene amination. Also, in its patent, it is stated that the TiO base is based on 2 The supported hydrogen fluoride and fluorophosphoric acid catalyst also have catalytic action for isobutene amination reaction.
Microwave heating is mainly to heat materials by converting electromagnetic energy into heat energy through dipole steering polarization and interface polarization of high-frequency electromagnetic waves (2450 MHz). According to different requirements of the heating process, the corresponding electric field intensity, namely the temperature, can be provided for material drying, low-temperature shaping and sintering by adjusting the power of the equipment. Different from the traditional method of heating materials from outside to inside through heat radiation by an external heat source in a conduction mode, microwave heating is to conduct microwave energy to atoms or molecules in the materials through a space or a medium in an electromagnetic wave mode, the excited molecules oscillate 24.5 hundred million times per second to generate rotation energy level transition to generate heat, the materials are heated inside and outside the medium in an electromagnetic field at the same time, and the heated materials become a heat source under the action of high-frequency electromagnetic waves, so that chemical products of various materials can be dried.
In patent CN108126751A, a hierarchical-level molecular sieve is used to mix with a metal acid salt and a phosphate aqueous solution, microwave treatment is adopted for 5-120 min to remove residual moisture, and the mixture is dried and roasted to obtain a multilevel-level molecular sieve supported heteropolyacid catalyst which is used in the alkylation conversion process of gasoline sulfide, wherein the highest sulfur removal rate reaches 97%.
However, microwave drying is closely related to complex dielectric coefficient of raw materials, introduction of microwaves may bring about local heating or rapid heating effect of a reaction system, thereby causing hot spots or thermal runaway phenomenon, and the violent local heating effect undoubtedly plays a role in promoting the disruption of the pore structure of the material caused by microwave heating, especially the part of the pore structure which is permeated by a solution is selectively heated and disrupted due to good absorption capacity of water to microwaves, thereby causing great reduction of the specific surface area, the specific surface area of micropores and the pore volume of the catalyst. At the same time, a part of the newly formed larger pores is blocked by the material fragments, and the space of the secondarily formed pores is insufficient to compensate for the lost part of the microporous structure, thereby causing a decrease in pore volume and an increase in average pore diameter.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems of low loading capacity and easy damage to catalyst pore channels in the microwave heating preparation process of the supported heteropolyacid catalyst in the prior art, the invention provides a preparation method of the supported heteropolyacid catalyst, which adopts two-step impregnation and then utilizes microwave drying to carry out rapid and efficient drying to obtain the catalyst which has large heteropolyacid loading capacity, uniform loading and undamaged pore channel structure.
In order to achieve the technical purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a preparation method of a supported heteropolyacid catalyst comprises the following steps:
ultrasonically mixing a porous carrier with a nonpolar solvent with the size smaller than the size of an inner pore passage of the porous carrier, and carrying out primary impregnation; after the completion, placing the porous carrier in a heteropoly acid solution for secondary impregnation; and after the secondary impregnation is finished, carrying out microwave drying, and roasting to obtain the supported heteropolyacid catalyst.
Further, the nonpolar solvent is selected from at least one of cyclohexane, hexane, and benzene.
Further, the porous carrier is a commonly used carrier for catalysts in the prior art, comprises a porous carrier compounded or modified by a plurality of components, and is selected from molecular sieves, activated carbon, alumina, ion exchange resin and TiO as a specific technical scheme 2 And a layered column material, more preferably a molecular sieve such as ZSM-5 or MCM-41.
Further, the heteropoly acid is a common water-soluble heteropoly acid used for catalyst modification in the prior art, and is selected from H as a specific technical scheme 2 SO 4 、H 3 PO 4 Heteropolyacids having Keggin structure or Dawson structure and salts derived therefromWherein the heteropoly acid with Keggin structure preferably has a general formula of HnAB 12 O 40 ·xH 2 The structure of O is preferably H as a more specific means 4 [Si(W 3 O 10 ) 4 ]·xH 2 O、H 3 PW 12 O 40 ·xH 2 O and derived salts thereof, wherein the derived salts are copper salts and sodium salts.
Further, the temperature of the first impregnation is 0-60 ℃, preferably 0-50 ℃, and most preferably 10-40 ℃; the ultrasonic dipping time is 0.5-48 h, preferably 1-24 h, and most preferably 4-12 h.
Further, the temperature of the secondary impregnation is 10-80 ℃, preferably 15-70 ℃, most preferably 40-60 ℃, and the impregnation time is 1-24 h, preferably 2-12 h, most preferably 4-10 h. The volume ratio of the heteropoly acid solution to the carrier is 1: 1-10: 1, preferably 3: 1-8: 1, and most preferably 4: 1-5: 1. The concentration of the heteropoly acid in the heteropoly acid solution is 1-90%, preferably 3-20%.
Further, the microwave drying is vacuum microwave drying, the microwave frequency is 2500 minus MHz, the microwave drying time is 30-600 min, and the microwave power is 800 minus 1500W.
Further, the roasting temperature is 100-600 ℃, preferably 150-450 ℃, and most preferably 200-300 ℃; the roasting time is 1-24h, preferably 3-10 h.
In the above method, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the first impregnation with the nonpolar solvent smaller than the size of the pore channels inside the carrier is performed by ultrasonic impregnation, so that the nonpolar solvent and the heteropoly acid solution are not mutually soluble, and the heteropoly acid solution cannot completely enter the pore channels of the molecular sieve during the second impregnation, so that the heteropoly acid solution is sufficiently adsorbed on the surface of the carrier. The dielectric constant of a nonpolar solvent such as cyclohexane and the like is very low, the nonpolar solvent cannot be heated to raise the temperature under microwave radiation, only the heteropoly acid aqueous solution subjected to secondary impregnation is dried during microwave drying, and the heteropoly acid precipitation caused by conventional heating is avoided by the microwave drying mode, so that the loading capacity and uniform loading of the heteropoly acid on the surface of the carrier are ensured; the cyclohexane does not destroy the pores of the carrier during the drying and calcination processes.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
in the invention, a catalyst carrier is soaked in advance by using a nonpolar solvent which is insoluble in polar solvents such as water and the like, so that a small molecular solvent enters a carrier pore channel, and then the heteropoly acid is soaked, when microwave drying is used, on one hand, due to the low dielectric constant of the nonpolar solvent cyclohexane and the like, the carrier pore channel is filled with the nonpolar solvent and cannot be heated, the damage of the pore channel caused by the rapid temperature rise of water in the microwave drying process of the traditional aqueous solution soaking method is avoided, and the pore channel structure of the catalyst is protected; on the other hand, microwave drying and temperature rise are efficient, and separation of heteropoly acid in a traditional heating mode is avoided. Therefore, the preparation method enables the heteropoly acid to be more efficiently and uniformly loaded on the surface of the carrier, and improves the acidity and the catalytic efficiency of the catalyst; meanwhile, the operation efficiency and stability of the catalyst are guaranteed; in addition, microwave drying also reduces energy consumption.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the detailed description which follows.
