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, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
As an important organic chemical product and an important organic chemical raw material, the industrial production level and the 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 continuously widened, and the rapid development of MMA industry is promoted. At present, the domestic methyl methacrylate production technology is still in the starting stage. The development of the methacrylate catalyst with independent intellectual property rights and the matched process are the development demands of MMA production industry in China.
Esterification catalysts are the core technology for MMA production. For the esterification reaction of methacrylic acid and methanol, the traditional production process using inorganic acid such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, boric acid and the like as a catalyst is gradually eliminated, and the organic acid such as p-toluenesulfonic acid and the like as a catalyst has the defects of serious environmental pollution, low selectivity and difficult separation of products. In comparison, esterification catalysts for heterogeneous reactions are currently a relatively active area of research. In the recent report, researchers have tried to use acid resin, organic tin compound, rare earth solid super acid, lewis acid and other catalysts in the synthesis of carboxylic ester, and have all obtained meaningful experimental results. At present, acid cation exchange resin is widely used in industry for producing methyl methacrylate, and the cation exchange resin has the advantages of good stability, high selectivity, lower cost, easy separation and the like in esterification reaction. However, the cation exchange resin itself has poor heat resistance (generally, decomposition is carried out at a temperature of not higher than 250 ℃), a small specific surface area and a small pore volume, and the cation exchange resin is easily swelled, has poor reactivity as an esterification catalyst, and has low ester yield. Lewis acid catalysts are valued for high activity, good selectivity and mild reaction conditions, but common Lewis acid is unstable in water and is easy to react with water to deactivate. The salt of a lewis acid in combination with a surfactant is called a green lewis acid because it is not easily hydrolyzed, and its catalytic effect in organic synthesis is receiving increasing attention. Along with the increasing demand of MMA, the synthesis of methyl methacrylate by adopting the green environment-friendly process has wide prospect.
Therefore, it is an important working direction for researchers to develop esterification catalysts with excellent performance, to improve the reaction efficiency and to suppress the formation of by-products.

Detailed Description
The endpoints and any values of the ranges disclosed herein are not limited to the precise range or value, and are understood to encompass values approaching those ranges or values. For numerical ranges, one or more new numerical ranges may be found between the endpoints of each range, between the endpoint of each range and the individual point value, and between the individual point value, in combination with each other, and are to be considered as specifically disclosed herein.
The first aspect of the invention provides a catalyst for methyl methacrylate synthesis reaction, wherein the catalyst comprises a carrier and alkyl sulfonate supported on the carrier, wherein the carrier is ultra-macroporous silica gel, and the specific surface area of the ultra-macroporous silica gel is 200-400m 2 And/g, wherein the pore volume is 0.8-2mL/g, the pore diameters are in bimodal distribution, the first most probable pore diameter is 1-5nm, and the second most probable pore diameter is 20-50nm.
The inventors of the present invention found that: in the prior art, esterification catalysts used to produce methyl methacrylate are classified into two types, homogeneous and heterogeneous. 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 cost and good catalytic activity, but the defects of difficult separation of products and the catalyst, more side reactions, easy corrosion to equipment and the like are eliminated. Although the solid acid esterification catalyst solves the problems of difficult product separation and serious equipment corrosion, the catalyst is rarely applied to industrial production due to the defects of poor catalytic activity, higher reaction temperature, lower product selectivity and the like. In contrast to the above catalysts, the production of methyl methacrylate using acidic cation exchange resins as esterification catalysts is currently the main process for industrial application. The resin catalyst has the advantages of high selectivity, low cost, easy separation and the like, but the yield of methyl methacrylate is low in the process of the methacrylate esterification reaction, and the high temperature resistance is poor. The resin is an organic polymer material, is easy to swell in an organic solvent, is easy to deform and even decompose in a high-temperature environment, and is a main reason for 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 condition when catalyzing esterification reaction, but the catalyst is easy to be deactivated due to hydrolysis. Salts formed by the combination of lewis acids with surfactants are known as green lewis acids because they are 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 lowered due to uneven dispersion.
The inventors of the present invention found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved and the efficiency of the catalyst can be improved by selecting an appropriate carrier to disperse the catalyst well. Certain silica materials have the structural and high temperature resistant performance advantages of large specific surface area, large pore volume, as 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, silica of suitable structure is not suitable as a catalystThe catalyst is suitable for being used in MMA synthesis reaction, but is suitable for being used as a carrier to load green Lewis acid, so as to obtain the esterification catalyst with excellent catalytic performance. The specific surface area of the ultra-macroporous silica gel is 200-400m 2 The pore volume per gram is 0.8-2mL/g, the pore diameters are in bimodal distribution, the first most probable pore diameter is 1-5nm, the second most probable pore diameter is 20-50nm, and the catalyst is very suitable for the catalytic reaction with the participation of macromolecules. The basic structure of the ultra-macroporous silica gel is composed of a silica basic structure, belongs to an inorganic structure, and can not be swelled and deformed in an organic solvent, but also has better temperature resistance. In addition, alkyl sulfonates having good esterification catalytic properties, for example, lanthanum alkyl sulfonate, are not commercially available and can only be prepared in the laboratory. The resulting alkyl sulfonate (lanthanum) is insoluble in water and cannot be supported on a carrier by conventional impregnation methods.
Based on the above, the inventor creatively adopts a method for generating alkyl sulfonate in situ on the surface of a carrier, takes ultra-macroporous silica gel as the carrier, loads the alkyl sulfonate to prepare a catalyst with good dispersion, 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 above ranges, so that the in-situ generation of the alkyl sulfonate on the surface of the carrier is facilitated, the supported alkyl sulfonate is well dispersed, and the supported alkyl sulfonate can show good catalytic activity and ester selectivity when being used for the synthesis reaction of methyl methacrylate.

And (3) spray-drying the ball-milled silica gel filter cake at the temperature of 200 ℃ at the rotating speed of 12000r/min to obtain the ultra-macroporous silica gel A.
FIG. 1 (a) is a pore size distribution diagram of ultra-large pore silica gel A. As can be seen from the pore size distribution diagram, the pore size distribution of the sample is wider, and accords with the pore channel characteristics of amorphous silica gel. The pore diameters are in bimodal distribution, the first most probable pore diameter is 3.1nm, and the second most probable pore diameter is 33nm.

As can be seen from Table 3, the catalyst provided by the invention can directly convert methacrylic acid and methanol to methyl methacrylate. The catalyst provided by the invention can obtain the methacrylic acid conversion rate of more than 92.7% and the methyl methacrylate selectivity of more than 98.5%.
As can be seen from the data of comparative example 1 and comparative example 1, if the esterification catalyst was prepared using commercially available silica instead of ultra-large pore silica gel, the conversion of methacrylic acid and the selectivity to methyl methacrylate were low.
The data of comparative example 1 and comparative example 2 show that the contents of ultra-large pore silica gel a and lanthanum dodecylsulfate are not within the range defined by the present invention, resulting in lower methacrylic acid conversion and methyl methacrylate selectivity.
As can be seen from the data of comparative examples 1 and 3, 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, and as a result, the conversion of methacrylic acid and the selectivity of methyl methacrylate are low.
As can be seen from the data of comparative examples 1 and 4, since the catalyst was not prepared by the method of the present invention, the conversion of methacrylic acid and the selectivity of methyl methacrylate were low.
The result shows that the esterification catalyst obtained by taking the ultra-macroporous silica gel as the carrier to load the lanthanum alkyl sulfonate has excellent performance.
