Background
1, 6-Hexanediol (HDO) is a novel fine chemical product with unique performance, can be mixed with various organic chemicals in any proportion, has no corrosiveness, can derive a series of novel fine chemicals, and has wider and wider application in the fields of polyurethane, polyester, coiled material coating, photo-curing and the like. For example: the modified resin is applied to polyurethane elastomer, and the 1, 6-hexanediol is used for modifying the polyurea aldehyde elastomer, so that the modified resin has excellent mechanical strength, water resistance, heat resistance and oxidation resistance; for polycarbonate, 1, 6-hexanediol is reacted with dimethyl carbonate to give polycarbonate, which can be made into fibers and films; when the flame-retardant polyester plasticizer is applied to the polyester plasticizer, the traditional ester plasticizer has certain defects in the process of manufacturing the flame-retardant plastic polyvinyl chloride, and the polyester plasticizer prepared from 1, 6-hexanediol and related substances just compensates and improves the defects; the modified acrylic acid ester plasticizer is applied to acid ester plasticizers, and improves the water resistance and oil resistance of the acid ester plasticizers; the pesticide can be applied to pesticide pyrethrin and the like.
The main preparation methods of the 1, 6-hexanediol comprise an adipic acid esterification method, a hydrogenation method, an adipic acid direct hydrogenation method, an acrylic acid method, a hydroformylation method and the like. Although there are various technical routes for preparing 1, 6-hexanediol, these technical routes are not all suitable for industrial production. The adipic acid direct hydrogenation method has high acid resistance requirements on catalysts and equipment; dimerization of acrylic esters followed by hydrogenation to give 1, 6-hexanediol provides a process for the preparation of 1, 6-hexanediol from lower hydrocarbons (C3), but is currently still in the laboratory exploration phase; the hydroformylation method is used for preparing the 1, 6-hexanediol, so that the selectivity is low; the epoxybutadiene method has the advantages of complicated reaction process and rare raw materials. Therefore, the more mature 1, 6-hexanediol production method is also an adipic acid esterification and hydrogenation method.
Patent CN102372604A discloses a method for preparing 1, 6-hexanediol by hydrogenating dimethyl adipate, wherein oxide-supported noble metal is used as a catalyst, the reaction is carried out in an autoclave, and the reaction is discontinuous and the cost of the catalyst is highHigher, the impurity separation is difficult, and the conversion rate and selectivity of the product are lower. Patent CN111659375A discloses a catalyst for preparing 1, 6-hexanediol by hydrogenating dimethyl adipate, a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the method uses SiO 2 /ZrO 2 The catalyst is used as a carrier, noble metal ruthenium or iridium is used as an active component, the preparation process is complex, the catalyst cost is high, and a large amount of organic solvents are used in the preparation process, so that environmental pollution is easy to cause.
Therefore, the existing method for preparing the 1, 6-hexanediol by ester hydrogenation has the problems of low reaction conversion rate, poor product selectivity, difficult separation of products and catalyst impurities and the like.
