Background

For example: the modified urea-formaldehyde resin is applied to polyurethane elastomers, 1, 6-hexanediol is used for modifying the urea-formaldehyde elastomers, and the modified resin has excellent mechanical strength, water resistance, heat resistance and oxidation resistance; the polycarbonate can be prepared into fibers and films by the reaction of 1, 6-hexanediol and dimethyl carbonate; the polyester plasticizer is applied to polyester plasticizers, the traditional ester plasticizers have certain defects when manufacturing plastic polyvinyl chloride with fire resistance, and the polyester plasticizers prepared by 1, 6-hexanediol and related substances can exactly compensate and improve the defects; the water-resistant and oil-resistant modified polyester is applied to an acid ester plasticizer to improve the water resistance and oil resistance of the plasticizer; can be used for pyrethrin pesticide.
The main processes for producing 1, 6-hexanediol include adipate production, hydrogenation, adipic acid direct hydrogenation, acrylic acid production, and hydroformylation. Although there are many technical routes for the preparation of 1, 6-hexanediol, these technical routes are not all suitable for industrial production. The direct adipic acid hydrogenation method has high requirements on the acid resistance of catalysts and equipment; the process of dimerizing acrylic esters and then hydrogenating them to 1, 6-hexanediol provides a process for preparing 1, 6-hexanediol from lower hydrocarbons (C3), but is currently in the laboratory exploration phase; 1, 6-hexanediol is prepared by a hydroformylation method, and the selectivity is low; the epoxybutadiene method has too complex reaction process and rare raw materials. Therefore, the more mature 1, 6-hexanediol production process is still an adipate and hydrogenation process.
Patent CN102372604A discloses a method for preparing 1, 6-hexanediol by hydrogenation of dimethyl adipate, which takes oxide-supported noble metal as a catalyst, the reaction is carried out in a high-pressure kettle, the problems of discontinuous reaction, high catalyst cost and difficult impurity separation exist, and the conversion rate and selectivity of the product are low. The patent CN111659375A discloses a catalyst for preparing 1, 6-hexanediol by hydrogenation of dimethyl adipate, a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the method uses SiO2/ZrO2The catalyst is used as a carrier, and noble metal ruthenium or iridium is used as an active component, so that the preparation process is complex, the cost of the catalyst is high, and a large amount of organic solvent is used in the preparation process, so that the environmental pollution is easily caused.
Therefore, the prior method for preparing 1, 6-hexanediol by ester hydrogenation has the problems of low reaction conversion rate, poor product selectivity, difficult separation of product and catalyst impurities and the like.
