The catalyst used in the present invention can be prepared by a process comprising the steps of:
(1) loading soluble magnesium-containing compound on alpha-Al 2 O 3 Surface, calcining to obtain a carrier;
(2) loading a soluble compound containing an active component on the surface of the carrier to obtain a catalyst precursor;
(3) and calcining the catalyst precursor.
The soluble magnesium-containing compound suitable for use in the present invention may be a soluble magnesium salt, such as one or more of magnesium nitrate, magnesium acetate and magnesium chloride. The soluble magnesium-containing compound can be prepared into an aqueous solution to lead the alpha-Al to be 2 O 3 Contacting with an aqueous solution of a soluble magnesium-containing compound to render the compound solubleMagnesium-containing compound supported on alpha-Al 2 O 3 A surface. The concentration of the aqueous solution of the soluble magnesium-containing compound (e.g. aqueous magnesium nitrate) may be 20-40 wt%, for example 32 ± 2 wt%. The alpha-Al can be sprayed or dipped 2 O 3 Contacting with an aqueous solution of a soluble magnesium-containing compound. Spraying or dipping may be carried out under heat (e.g., 20-70 deg.C) to promote alpha-Al 2 O 3 For the adsorption of the aqueous solution of the magnesium-containing compound and allows some drying to occur during the contacting. For example, spraying may be accompanied by forced air drying, the temperature of the forced air may be 20-70 deg.C, for example 50 + -10 deg.C. The blowing is mainly to dry the material to a certain extent while loading so as to enable the alpha-Al 2 O 3 The effect of absorbing the magnesium-containing compound aqueous solution is better. After loading by immersion, the mixture can be stirred and evaporated to dryness at 80 +/-20 ℃. In some embodiments, the loading operation (e.g., spray plus forced air drying) of step (1) is performed in a sugar coater, a ball roller, or a rotary compounder. The rotating speed of the sugar-coating machine, the ball rolling machine or the rotary mixer is preferably 5-40 rpm. The use of sugar coating machines, ball rollers or rotary blenders for loading is beneficial to industrial scale-up. The rotating speed is set to be 5-40 rpm, so that the materials can be rolled in the machine, the purpose of fully and uniformly loading is achieved, and meanwhile, material abrasion caused by too fast speed is avoided.
Loading soluble magnesium-containing compound on alpha-Al 2 O 3 After the surface treatment, the carrier can be obtained by drying and then calcining. For alpha-Al loaded with soluble magnesium-containing compound 2 O 3 The drying may be carried out at 60 to 120 ℃, for example, 100 + -10 ℃ for 5 to 16 hours, for example, 5 to 6 hours.
In the invention, for the alpha-Al loaded with soluble magnesium-containing compound 2 O 3 The calcination was carried out in the following manner: heating the mixture from room temperature to 500-700 deg.C, for example 600 + -50 deg.C, at a heating rate of 3-10 deg.C/min, for example 5 + -1 deg.C/min, and then calcining the mixture at the heated temperature for 2-8 h, for example 5 + -1 h. The invention controls the heating rate to be 3-10 ℃/min, and can prevent the loaded components from evaporating or decomposing too fast in the roasting processAffecting the uniformity of the final load; meanwhile, the roasting time and energy consumption are prevented from being increased due to too slow temperature rise. According to the invention, the roasting constant temperature is controlled to be 500-700 ℃, the time is controlled to be 2-8 h, and the load components can be fully decomposed within the shortest time of minimum energy consumption.

In some embodiments, step (1) is performed twice by first loading a portion (e.g., half) of the soluble magnesium-containing compound on α -Al 2 O 3 And (3) carrying out surface calcination to obtain an intermediate carrier, and then loading the residual soluble magnesium-containing compound on the surface of the intermediate carrier, and carrying out calcination to obtain the final carrier. The carrier is prepared by repeating the step (1) for multiple times, is suitable for preparing the carrier with higher MgO loading capacity, and is beneficial to the uniform coating of MgO on alpha-Al 2 O 3 And the conversion rate and OPP selectivity of the hydrogenation reaction are improved.
The soluble compound containing the active component is selected from one or more of a soluble platinum-containing compound, a soluble palladium-containing compound and a soluble rhodium-containing compound. In some embodiments, the active component is elemental platinum and the soluble compound comprising the active component is a soluble platinum-containing compound. The soluble platinum-containing compound suitable for use in the present invention may be one or more selected from chloroplatinic acid, tetraammineplatinum nitrate and tetraammineplatinum chloride. The soluble compound containing the active ingredient may be supported on the surface of the carrier by formulating the soluble compound containing the active ingredient into an aqueous solution and contacting the carrier with the aqueous solution of the soluble compound containing the active ingredient. The concentration of the active component (e.g., Pt ions) in an aqueous solution of a soluble compound containing the active component (e.g., an aqueous solution of a soluble platinum-containing compound, an aqueous solution of chloroplatinic acid) may be in the range of 0.5 to 2 wt%, e.g., 1 ± 0.2 wt%. The support may be contacted with the aqueous solution of the soluble compound containing the active ingredient by spraying or dipping. Spraying or impregnation may be carried out under heat (e.g. 20-70 c) to promote adsorption of the carrier to the aqueous solution containing the soluble compound of the active component and to allow some drying to occur during contact. For example, spraying may be accompanied by forced air drying, the temperature of the forced air may be 20-70 deg.C, for example 50 + -10 deg.C. The blowing is mainly to dry the material to a certain extent while loading so as to make the carrier have better effect of adsorbing the aqueous solution of the soluble compounds containing the active components. After loading by adopting the immersion method, stirring and evaporating at 80 +/-20 ℃. In some embodiments, the loading operation (e.g., spray plus forced air drying) of step (2) is performed in a sugar coater, a ball roller, or a rotary compounder. The rotating speed of the sugar-coating machine, the ball rolling machine or the rotary mixer is preferably 5-40 rpm. The use of sugar coating machines, ball rollers or rotary blenders for loading is beneficial to industrial scale-up. The rotating speed is set to be 5-40 rpm, so that the materials can be rolled in the machine, the purpose of fully and uniformly loading is achieved, and meanwhile, material abrasion caused by too fast speed is avoided.
After the soluble compound containing the active component is loaded on the surface of the carrier, the carrier can be dried to obtain the catalyst precursor. The carrier may be dried at 60 to 120 deg.C, for example 80 + -10 deg.C, for 5 to 16 hours, for example 12 + -2 hours.
The catalyst used in the present invention can be prepared by calcining a catalyst precursor. In the present invention, the manner of calcining the catalyst precursor is as follows: heating the mixture from room temperature to 500-700 deg.C, for example 600 + -50 deg.C, at a heating rate of 3-10 deg.C/min, for example 5 + -1 deg.C/min, and then calcining the mixture at the heated temperature for 2-8 h, for example 2-3 h. According to the invention, the heating rate is controlled to be 3-10 ℃/min, so that the phenomenon that the loaded components are evaporated or decomposed too fast in the roasting process to influence the uniformity of the final load can be prevented; meanwhile, the roasting time and energy consumption are prevented from being increased due to too slow temperature rise.

The dibenzofuran concentrations and reaction and isolation results of examples 1-5 are shown in table 1.
The results in table 1 show that the method of the present invention is adopted to prepare o-phenylphenol by catalytic hydrogenation of a high concentration dibenzofuran raw material, and good dibenzofuran conversion rate and OPP selectivity are obtained; when the concentration of the dibenzofuran is more than 40%, particularly about 50%, the dibenzofuran has high dibenzofuran conversion rate and OPP selectivity, and the solvent content is low, so that the solvent consumption can be greatly reduced, and the energy consumption is greatly reduced.

Example 4 80 44 83 98.7
Example 5 100 41 86 98.8
Example 6
Catalyst activation, reaction and separation were carried out in the same manner as in examples 1 to 5 except that the dibenzofuran concentration in example 6 was 50%. The dibenzofuran conversion and OPP selectivity were measured at 4000h of reaction run. As a result, the dibenzofuran conversion was 44% and the OPP selectivity was 83%.
The result of example 6 shows that the method of the present invention has very high dibenzofuran conversion rate and OPP selectivity after the high concentration dibenzofuran raw material is continuously operated for 4000 hours, and the method of the present invention has very good long-term operation stability and is suitable for industrial production.
Example 7
The catalyst activation, reaction and separation were carried out in the same manner as in examples 1 to 5 except that the dibenzofuran concentration in example 7 was 60% and the separation process used a primary caustic washing process, i.e., only one caustic washing extraction tower. The dibenzofuran conversion, OPP selectivity and OPP crude product purity were determined at 500h of reaction run. As a result, the dibenzofuran conversion was 45%, the OPP selectivity was 85%, and the OPP crude product purity was 97.1%.
Comparative examples 1 to 5
The catalyst activation, reaction and separation were performed according to the methods of examples 1 to 5, except that the catalyst prepared by the following procedure was used in comparative examples 1 to 5:
preparing a solution with the mass fraction of 3% by using deionized water and chloroplatinic acid, and adding a magnesium oxide carrier, wherein the solid-to-liquid ratio is 1: stirring for 6h at the temperature of 20 and 80 ℃, filtering and drying, and roasting the catalyst for 4h at the temperature of 500 ℃ in the air atmosphere to prepare the Pt/MgO catalyst, wherein the loading amount of the active component platinum is 0.5 wt%.

Comparative example 1 20 35 80 99.0
Comparative example 2 40 40 54 99.0
Comparative example 3 50 38 42 99.0
Comparative example 4 60 36 35 99.0
Comparative example 5 70 43 27 99.0
As can be seen from Table 2, when the Pt/MgO catalyst is used for catalyzing dibenzofuran to prepare o-phenylphenol, the dibenzofuran conversion rate and OPP selectivity are low when the dibenzofuran concentration is 20%; when the dibenzofuran concentration reached above 40%, the reaction was run for 50h with a significant reduction in OPP selectivity, indicating that the Pt/MgO catalyst had deactivated at this time. Therefore, the effect of catalyzing dibenzofuran by using the Pt/MgO catalyst to prepare o-phenylphenol is poor, and the Pt/MgO catalyst is not suitable for catalyzing the reaction of preparing o-phenylphenol by using a high-concentration dibenzofuran raw material.

Comparative example 8 40 27 71 99.3
Comparative example 9 60 25 75 98.7
As can be seen by comparing Table 1 and Table 3, MgO-gamma-Al is used 2 O 3 Or MgO-theta-Al 2 O 3 The catalyst used as the carrier catalyzes a dibenzofuran raw material with the concentration of 40 percent or 60 percent to prepare o-phenylphenol, and the dibenzofuran conversion rate and the OPP selectivity are lower. The method of the invention uses MgO-alpha-Al 2 O 3 The catalyst used as the carrier catalyzes the dibenzofuran raw material with the concentration of 40 percent or 60 percent to prepare the o-phenylphenol, and compared with the comparative ratio of 6-9, the dibenzofuran conversion rate and the OPP selectivity are obviously improved. Compared with methods using other catalysts, the method for preparing o-phenylphenol by catalyzing high-concentration dibenzofuran raw materials has a very good reaction effect, can remarkably improve the reaction efficiency and the product yield, and simultaneously realizes great reduction of energy consumption.
