Description

Catalyst for methyl methacrylate synthesis reaction and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of fine chemical engineering, in particular to a catalyst for methyl methacrylate synthesis reaction and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
As an important organic chemical product and organic chemical raw material, the industrial production level and production capacity of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) have important influence on the development of chemical industry in China. In recent years, the demand of MMA at home and abroad is increased, the application field is widened continuously, and the rapid development of the MMA industry is promoted. At present, the domestic methyl methacrylate production technology is still in the beginning stage. The development of a methacrylic acid esterification catalyst with independent intellectual property rights and a matched process are development requirements of the MMA production industry in China.
Esterification catalysts are the core technology for MMA production. For esterification reaction of methacrylic acid and methanol, the traditional production process using inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, boric acid and the like as catalysts is gradually eliminated, and the organic acids such as p-toluenesulfonic acid and the like as catalysts have the defects of serious environmental pollution, low selectivity and difficult product separation. In contrast, esterification catalysts for heterogeneous reactions are currently an active area of research. In recent reports, researchers have tried to use catalysts such as acidic resins, organic tin compounds, rare earth solid superacids, lewis acids, etc. in the synthesis of carboxylic esters, and all have obtained significant experimental results. At present, the production of methyl methacrylate is generally carried out by industrially using acidic cation exchange resin, and the cation exchange resin has the advantages of good stability, high selectivity, lower cost, easy separation and the like in the esterification reaction. However, the cation exchange resin has poor heat resistance (generally, the cation exchange resin is decomposed at a temperature of not higher than 250 ℃), small specific surface area and pore volume, and the cation exchange resin is easy to swell, so that the cation exchange resin is poor in reaction activity as an esterification catalyst and low in ester yield. Lewis acid catalysts are regarded as important because of their high activity, good selectivity and mild reaction conditions, but common lewis acids are unstable in water and are easily deactivated by reaction with water. Salts formed by combining lewis acids with surfactants are called green lewis acids because they are not easily hydrolyzed, and their catalytic action in organic synthesis is receiving increasing attention. With the increasing demand of MMA, the green and environment-friendly process is adopted to synthesize methyl methacrylate, which has a broad prospect.
Therefore, it is an important work direction for researchers to develop an esterification catalyst having excellent performance, to improve reaction efficiency, and to suppress the generation of by-products.

Detailed Description
The endpoints of the ranges and any values disclosed herein are not limited to the precise range or value, and such ranges or values should be understood to encompass values close to those ranges or values. For ranges of values, between the endpoints of each of the ranges and the individual points, and between the individual points may be combined with each other to give one or more new ranges of values, and these ranges of values should be considered as specifically disclosed herein.
The invention provides a catalyst for methyl methacrylate synthesis reaction, wherein the catalyst comprises a carrier and alkyl sulfonate loaded on the carrier, wherein the carrier is macroporous silica gel,the specific surface area of the super-macroporous silica gel is 200-400m2The pore volume is 0.8-2mL/g, the pore diameter is bimodal, the first most probable pore diameter is 1-5nm, and the second most probable pore diameter is 20-50 nm.
The inventors of the present invention found that: in the prior art, esterification catalysts for the production of methyl methacrylate are divided into homogeneous and heterogeneous categories. Wherein, the homogeneous catalyst mainly comprises inorganic acid solution and organic acid, and the heterogeneous catalyst mainly comprises solid acid and cation exchange resin. The homogeneous catalyst has the advantages of low price and good catalytic activity, but the defects of difficult separation of products and the catalyst, more side reactions, easy corrosion of equipment and the like are gradually eliminated. Although the solid acid esterification catalyst solves the problems of difficult product separation and serious equipment corrosion, the solid acid esterification catalyst is rarely applied to industrial production due to the defects of poor catalytic activity, higher reaction temperature, lower product selectivity and the like. Compared with the above catalysts, the production of methyl methacrylate by using acidic cation exchange resin as an esterification catalyst is the main process in industrial application at present. The resin catalyst has the advantages of high selectivity, low cost, easy separation and the like, but the yield of the methyl methacrylate is low in the esterification reaction process of the methacrylic acid, and the high-temperature resistance is poor. The resin is an organic high molecular material, is easy to swell in an organic solvent, and is easy to deform or even decompose in a high-temperature environment, which is the main reason of poor temperature resistance of the resin catalyst.
The development of new solid catalyst systems to compensate for the performance deficiencies of resin catalysts is a good solution to the problem.
The Lewis acid catalyst has high activity, good selectivity and mild reaction conditions when used for catalyzing esterification reaction, but the catalyst is easy to be inactivated due to hydrolysis. The salt formed by combining the lewis acid with the surfactant is referred to as a green lewis acid because it is not susceptible to hydrolysis. If a green lewis acid, which is not easily soluble in water, is directly used as a catalyst in the ester synthesis reaction, the catalytic efficiency may be decreased due to non-uniform dispersion.
The inventors of the present invention have found that the catalyst can be divided well by selecting a suitable supportThe problems can be solved and the efficiency of the catalyst is improved. Certain silica materials have structural advantages of large specific surface area, large pore volume, and performance advantages of high temperature resistance compared to resin catalysts. However, the silica surface having a basic skeleton structure composed of silicon and oxygen does not contain a functional group and does not exhibit any activity in the esterification reaction. Therefore, the silica with proper structure is not suitable for being directly applied to the synthesis reaction of MMA as a catalyst, but is suitable for being used as a carrier to load green Lewis acid, and further an esterification catalyst with excellent catalytic performance is obtained. The specific surface area of the super-macroporous silica gel is 200-400m2The pore volume is 0.8-2mL/g, the pore diameter is in bimodal distribution, the first most probable pore diameter is 1-5nm, and the second most probable pore diameter is 20-50nm, so that the catalyst is very suitable for catalytic reaction with macromolecules. The basic structure of the ultra-macroporous silica gel is composed of a silica basic structure, belongs to an inorganic structure, and not only can not swell and deform in an organic solvent, but also has better temperature resistance. In addition, alkylsulfonates having good esterification catalytic properties, e.g., lanthanum alkylsulfonates, are not commercially available and can only be prepared in the laboratory. The obtained alkylsulfonate (lanthanum) is insoluble in water and cannot be supported on a carrier by a conventional impregnation method.
Based on the above, the inventor of the present invention creatively adopts a method of in-situ generation of alkyl sulfonate on the surface of a carrier, uses the super-macroporous silica gel as the carrier, and loads the alkyl sulfonate to prepare a catalyst with good dispersion, so that the catalyst can be used for methyl methacrylate synthesis reaction, and can show good catalytic activity and ester selectivity.

In the invention, the structural parameters of the ultra-macroporous silica gel are limited to be within the range, which is more beneficial to being on a carrier tableThe alkyl sulfonate is generated in situ, and the loaded alkyl sulfonate is well dispersed, so that the catalyst can show good catalytic activity and ester selectivity when being used for methyl methacrylate synthesis reaction.

As can be seen from Table 3, the catalyst provided by the present invention can directly convert methacrylic acid and methanol into methyl methacrylate. The catalyst provided by the invention can obtain the methacrylic acid conversion rate of more than 92.7 percent and the methyl methacrylate selectivity of more than 98.5 percent.
Comparing the data of example 1 and comparative example 1, it can be seen that if commercially available silica is used instead of ultra large pore silica gel to prepare the esterification catalyst, the methacrylic acid conversion and methyl methacrylate selectivity are lower.
Comparing the data of example 1 and comparative example 2, it can be seen that the contents of the ultra-large pore silica gel a and the lanthanum dodecylsulfonate are not within the range defined by the present invention, resulting in lower methacrylic acid conversion and methyl methacrylate selectivity.
Comparing the data of example 1 and comparative example 3, it can be seen that the structural parameters of the ultra-large pore silica gel a and the prepared catalyst are not within the range defined by the present invention, resulting in lower methacrylic acid conversion and methyl methacrylate selectivity.
Comparing the data of example 1 and comparative example 4, it can be seen that the conversion of methacrylic acid and the selectivity of methyl methacrylate are lower as a result of not preparing the catalyst by the method of the present invention.
The result shows that the esterification catalyst obtained by taking the ultra-macroporous silica gel as the carrier to load the lanthanum alkylsulfonate has excellent performance.
