Description

Silver-based catalyst and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of catalysts, relates to a silver-based catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof, and in particular relates to a silver-based catalyst for preparing Methyl Glycolate (MG) through dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Methyl glycolate is an important chemical raw material intermediate, can be used for synthesizing high-added-value chemicals such as medicines, cosmetics, spices, pesticides and the like, and has wide application prospects. Polyglycolic acid has strong environmental degradability, and can be degraded into carbon dioxide and water within 1-3 months in nature, so that the demand is huge, and the mass production of the raw material methyl glycolate for synthesizing the polyglycolic acid is important. However, the traditional methyl glycolate production process route has the problems of serious pollution, harsh reaction conditions and the like, and can not realize the large-scale production of methyl glycolate. In recent years, the hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) to ethylene glycol via a coal-based route has become one of the most representative coal chemical technologies. The methyl glycolate is a preliminary hydrogenation product of the dimethyl oxalate, the selective regulation and control of the hydrogenation reaction product of the oxalic ester is expected to realize the large-scale production of coal-based polyglycolic acid routes, and the process has high atom economy, green and environment-friendly performance, and has good development prospect and economic value.
The silver-based catalyst shows excellent catalytic activity in preparing methyl glycolate through dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation at present, and has wide industrial application prospect. Compared with a copper-based catalyst, the hydrogenation capacity of silver is weaker, so that the hydrogenation reaction of dimethyl oxalate can stay in the first step, and in addition, the adsorption of silver methyl glycolate is weaker than that of the copper-based catalyst, so that the product methyl glycolate is prevented from further hydrogenation to generate by-product glycol, and the selectivity of methyl glycolate by adopting the silver-based catalyst can reach more than 85%. However, the silver-based catalysts currently have the following problems: 1. in order to ensure that the silver species present as metallic silver shows excellent catalytic activity, silver loading in silver-based catalysts is generally high, and the price and the cost are high; 2. the Tasman temperature of silver is only 345 ℃, silver particles are easy to migrate due to high temperature, and silver species catalysts are easy to agglomerate into large particles in the use process, so that the catalysts are poor in stability and easy to deactivate, and industrial application of the catalysts is hindered.
The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art, and provides a silver-based catalyst with a dual-function carrier, aiming at the problems of high silver load and poor stability of the silver-based catalyst in the technology for preparing methyl glycolate by hydrogenating dimethyl oxalate. The method successfully prepares the silver-based catalyst with a special structure by a two-step loading method, and in the preparation process, the method improves the dispersity of cerium oxide by adding the citric acid auxiliary agent, and simultaneously, the silver species is selectively dispersed on the cerium oxide nanometer islands by a method of pre-reducing the difunctional carrier. The silver-based catalyst provided by the invention has the characteristics of low silver loading, high catalytic activity, high selectivity and high stability when being used for preparing Methyl Glycolate (MG) through dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
the first aspect of the invention provides a silver-based catalyst comprising a support and an active component, the active component being a silver species, the support being a bifunctional support; the difunctional carrier comprises cerium oxide and silicon dioxide, and the silver-based catalyst has the structure that: the cerium oxide is uniformly dispersed on the surface of the silicon dioxide nano particles in the form of nano islands, and the silver species are located on the cerium oxide nano islands in the form of nano particles.
The cerium oxide nano islands herein mean cerium oxide particles dispersed on silicon oxide like islands, similar to cerium oxide nano particles. The reason for using cerium oxide nano islands instead of cerium oxide nano particles is that the cerium oxide particles are uniformly dispersed on silicon dioxide like islands, the adhesion condition between nano islands is relatively small, and corresponding silver species cannot cross from one nano island to another nano island.
Preferably, the silver species comprises 1-20wt.% of the total mass of the silver-based catalyst, and the bifunctional support comprises 80-99wt.% of the total mass of the silver-based catalyst; further, the silver species comprises 2-5wt.% of the total mass of the catalyst, and the difunctional carrier comprises 95-98wt.% of the total mass of the catalyst. The cerium oxide accounts for 1-40wt.% of the total mass of the dual-function carrier, and the silicon dioxide accounts for 60-99wt.% of the total mass of the dual-function carrier; further, the cerium oxide accounts for 1-10wt.% of the total mass of the carrier, and the silicon dioxide accounts for 90-99wt.% of the total mass of the carrier. The reason why the cerium oxide is required to limit the total mass of the bifunctional support to the above range is that: 1. the cerium oxide content is high, the particle sizes of cerium oxide and silver species are correspondingly increased, and the exposure of active sites on the surfaces of the silver species is reduced, so that the activity is reduced; 2. the cerium oxide content increases, resulting in an increase in the silver valence state and a decrease in the activity of the catalyst.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. the invention successfully prepares the silver-based catalyst with a special structure, and the special structure is as follows: the cerium oxide is dispersed on the surface of the silicon dioxide nano-particles in the form of nano-islands, the silver species are located on the cerium oxide nano-islands in the form of nano-particles instead of being located on the surface of the silicon dioxide nano-particles, and meanwhile, the sizes of the silver species and the cerium oxide nano-islands are moderate, specifically, the particle size of the silver species is 1.0-20nm, and the size of the cerium oxide nano-islands is 2.0-30nm; further, the particle size of the silver species is 2-5nm, and the cerium oxide nano island size is 2-6nm; still further, the silver species has a particle size of 4-5nm and the cerium oxide nanoislands have a size of 4-6nm.
2. The silver-based catalyst has high stability when being used for heterogeneous hydrogenation reaction of dimethyl oxalate, and the reason is that: the cerium oxide is uniformly dispersed on the silicon dioxide in the form of nanometer islands, the silicon dioxide provides a large specific surface area, the cerium oxide nanometer islands are favorable for dispersion, ag species fall on the cerium oxide nanometer islands, the cerium oxide is a strong interaction carrier of silver, the function of anchoring the silver species is provided, and sintering of silver particles can be prevented. The silicon dioxide is a weak interaction carrier and is not easy to age through monoatomic migration, so that the Ostwald aging of metallic silver is prevented, the structure of the silver-based catalyst ensures that the problem of silver particle growth does not exist in the long-term use process, the stability of the catalyst is improved, and the catalyst replacement cost is greatly reduced in industry.
3. The silver-based catalyst has high catalytic activity when being used for heterogeneous hydrogenation reaction of dimethyl oxalate. The catalyst only uses metallic silver as an active center to catalyze the hydrogenation reaction of dimethyl oxalate, and compared with the silver load of more than 10wt.% in the prior art, the silver load in the invention is only 4wt.%, and the MG yield can reach more than 90%. In addition, the silver space time yield per unit mass of the silver-silicon catalyst reported in the prior art is less than 10 g.g Ag -1 ·h -1 The silver space-time yield per unit mass of the catalyst added with the cerium auxiliary agent is less than 1 g.g Ag -1 ·h -1 The space-time yield of silver per unit mass of the catalyst in the invention is up to 103 g.g Ag -1 ·h -1 . The catalyst has low silver loading capacity, greatly improves the silver utilization efficiency and greatly saves the catalyst production cost.
4. When the silver-based catalyst is used for preparing methyl glycolate through hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate, the directional selectivity of methyl glycolate is high, and compared with a silver-silicon catalyst, the addition of cerium improves the selectivity from 84% to 93%, so that the energy consumption required by product separation is reduced.
5. Furthermore, the citric acid auxiliary agent is added in the preparation process of the difunctional carrier, the dispersity of the cerium oxide nanometer islands on silicon dioxide can be improved by adding the citric acid auxiliary agent, and the agglomeration of cerium oxide is avoided, so that the size of the cerium oxide nanometer islands is reduced, silver nanometer particles fall on the cerium oxide nanometer islands, the size of the silver nanometer particles is further reduced due to the reduction of the size of the cerium oxide nanometer islands, so that more active surfaces of silver species are exposed, and the catalytic activity of the catalyst is improved. The invention further controls the sizes of the silver species and the cerium oxide nanometer island by using the method, thereby obtaining the silver-based catalyst with the particle size of the silver species of 4-5nm and the cerium oxide nanometer island size of 4-6nm, and further improving the catalytic activity of the catalyst.
6. Furthermore, the invention increases the oxygen vacancy content on the cerium oxide by reducing the carrier, and the oxygen vacancy can form strong metal-carrier interaction with the metal silver, thereby improving the anchoring capability of the cerium oxide nanometer island to silver particles and enabling silver species to be selectively dispersed on the cerium oxide nanometer island.
7. Further, the silver precursor salt is selected from silver acetate, and the introduction of cerium can cause the valence state of silver to be increased to positive monovalent silver, and the adsorption and dissociation capability of the positive monovalent silver to hydrogen is weak, so that the activity of the catalyst is reduced sharply. The silver precursor salt is more beneficial to forming zero-valent silver and improving the stability of the catalyst. In the invention, the cerium source is selected from ammonium cerium nitrate, more gas is released in the roasting process of ammonium cerium nitrate relative to cerium nitrate, so that the dispersity of cerium oxide is improved, and compared with cerium sulfate, residual sulfate radical and silver species can generate silver sulfate due to the fact that the sulfate radical can not be removed, the valence state of silver is positive monovalent, and the activity of the silver-based catalyst is reduced. In the present invention, the silicon source is selected from hydrophilic fumed silica, which can improve the dispersity of cerium oxide relative to lipophilic fumed silica, alkaline silica sol or ammonification silica sol.
8. When the silver-based catalyst obtained by the invention is used for heterogeneous hydrogenation reaction of dimethyl oxalate, the catalyst has the characteristics of easily obtained raw materials, mild reaction conditions, simple and controllable process, stable structure, strong operability, good industrial application prospect and the like.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be further described by way of examples, which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Experimental methods, in which specific conditions are not specified in examples, are generally available commercially according to conventional conditions as well as those described in handbooks, or according to general-purpose equipment, materials, reagents, etc. used under conditions suggested by manufacturers, unless otherwise specified.
The method for evaluating the on-line reduction and catalytic effect of the catalyst in this example and comparative example is as follows:
in the invention, the dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation reaction is carried out in a fixed bed reactor. Filling 1.0g of catalyst, reducing at 250 ℃ in a hydrogen atmosphere of 2.5MPa, keeping the gas flow at 100mL/min, cooling to the reaction temperature for 4 hours, gasifying dimethyl oxalate solution, mixing with hydrogen, entering a reaction system, enabling the hydrogen-ester ratio to be 80, and carrying out hydrogenation reaction at 2.5MPa and 225 ℃. The product after the reaction was analyzed by gas chromatography, and the conversion of dimethyl oxalate and the selectivity and yield of methyl glycolate were calculated. Because the dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation reaction is a continuous reaction, methyl glycolate is an intermediate hydrogenation product, and the difference of selectivity to the intermediate product can be reflected only when the conversion rate is not 100%, the reaction airspeed is regulated so that the reaction conversion rate is 98.5%; in the stability evaluation process, in order to make full use of all active sites to participate in the reaction, the occurrence of the condition that the catalyst is deactivated and the conversion rate is still 100% is prevented, and therefore, it is necessary to perform stability evaluation under the condition that the conversion rate is not 100%.

As is clear from comparative example 1 and example 1, the catalyst of comparative example 1 uses silica as a single carrier, and the catalyst activity is high, but the selectivity is only 84.1%, and the yield is only 82.8%. In example 1, the addition of cerium caused an increase in the valence of silver, a decrease in the activity of the catalyst, and a reaction conversion of 98.5%The space velocity at the time was reduced, but the selectivity was increased to 92.2%, the MG yield was increased to more than 90%, and the space-time yield per unit mass of silver was only 31.1 g.g Ag -1 ·h -1 The temperature is increased to 59.6 g.g Ag -1 ·h -1 The use efficiency of silver species is improved. Meanwhile, the addition of cerium also improved the stability of the catalyst, as shown in fig. 1, in which larger-sized silver particles (upper side) and smaller-sized silver particles (lower side) were simultaneously present, and the silver species of the catalyst of comparative example 1 were all distributed on silica, which is a weak interaction carrier of silver, and thus sintering agglomeration of silver particles could not be prevented, and thus small-sized silver particles were agglomerated to form large-sized silver particles. While the silver species in example 1 are partially distributed on the cerium oxide, as shown in fig. 2, the left small-sized silver particles are anchored on the cerium oxide, and the middle large-sized silver particles are not in direct contact with the cerium oxide, so that the silver particles are agglomerated and are larger in size. Cerium oxide is a strong interaction carrier of silver, and by the anchoring effect of cerium oxide on silver species, silver particles do not generate sintering growth to a large extent after the cerium oxide surface is enriched to a certain extent, so that the stability of the catalyst in comparative example 1 is greatly improved compared with that in example 1 as shown in fig. 7. Therefore, the cerium component is introduced into the silver-silicon catalyst, so that the partial activity is enhanced, the use efficiency of silver species is improved, the directional selectivity of methyl glycolate is improved, the stability of the catalyst is enhanced, and the separation cost and the catalyst replacement cost can be reduced in industrial application.
From examples 1 and 2, it is understood that example 2 is a hydrogen reduction treatment of a ceria-silica dual-function carrier. The silicon dioxide in the carrier is non-reducing oxide, the reduction process is not affected, the cerium oxide is reducible oxide, and after hydrogen treatment, part of oxygen atoms are H 2 The form of O is removed leaving an electron-rich oxygen vacancy. During the loading of metallic silver, these oxygen vacancies have an adsorption anchoring effect on silver ions, so that more silver species are distributed on the cerium oxide, as shown in fig. 3, where both silver particles are anchored on the cerium oxide. An improvement in the distribution of silver species,so that the dual function support structure fully exerts its stability enhancing effect, as shown in fig. 7, the stability of the catalyst of example 2 is higher than that of example 1. The redundant electrons are redistributed on the empty energy level of the cations, so that the valence state of silver and cerium is reduced, the activity of silver in a lower valence state is higher, the space-time yield of silver in unit mass of methyl glycolate is improved, and the use efficiency of silver atoms in unit is also enhanced. Therefore, the method of pre-reducing the carrier can improve the distribution of silver species, and the anchoring effect of cerium oxide on silver, so that the stability of the catalyst is improved, the activity of the catalyst is enhanced, and the silver space-time yield of methyl glycolate per unit mass is improved.
As is apparent from examples 2 and 3, in example 3, citric acid, which is an auxiliary agent, is added during the preparation of the dual-function carrier, and the citric acid can form coordination with the cerium part, so that the cerium part is not easy to aggregate, and is fully combusted during the calcination process to release a large amount of gas, so that the dispersity of cerium oxide is improved, and thus, the size of the cerium oxide nano islands is reduced, as shown in fig. 4 to 5, the cerium oxide size of the sample in example 2 is 6.9nm, and the cerium oxide single-oxide size of the sample in example 3 is 4.9nm. The size of the single cerium oxide nanometer island is reduced, the content of the adsorbed and anchored silver species is reduced, the size of silver particles is also reduced, the silver species is fully dispersed, the exposed specific surface area of silver is increased, the active sites are increased, and the space-time yield of the silver per unit mass of methyl glycolate is increased. Meanwhile, the oxygen vacancies exposed by the cerium oxide nano islands in the reduction process are increased, so that the anchoring effect of the cerium oxide nano islands on silver particles is enhanced, as shown in fig. 7, and the catalyst stability of example 3 is further improved compared with example 2. Therefore, the use of the citric acid auxiliary agent can improve the dispersity of cerium oxide and silver species, thereby improving the specific surface area of silver and the concentration of oxygen vacancies, and further improving the activity and stability of the catalyst
As is clear from examples 3 and 4, the catalyst in example 4 was evaluated at a conversion of 100%, the catalyst selectivity was 92.0%, and the space-time yield per unit mass of silver was 97.8 g.g Ag -1 ·h -1 Slightly lower than the silver per unit mass of the catalyst of example 3Air yield 103.1 g.g Ag -1 ·h -1 This suggests that properly reducing the space velocity can result in complete conversion of dimethyl oxalate, thereby reducing the cost of product separation.

TABLE 2 Activity data for the catalysts for heterogeneous hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate
As is apparent from examples 3 and examples 5 to 6 in tables 1 to 2, ammonium cerium nitrate is more effective as a cerium source because ammonium cerium nitrate has a higher nitrogen content and a lower decomposition temperature, and thus the dispersibility of cerium oxide is higher than that of cerium nitrate as a cerium source. Cerium sulfate is not easy to decompose, a large amount of sulfate radicals remain, and the sulfate radicals anchor a large amount of silver ions, so that the valence state of silver particles is higher, and the activity of the catalyst is drastically reduced. Therefore, ceric ammonium nitrate works better as a cerium source.
As can be seen from examples 3 and examples 7-9 in tables 1-2, silver acetate works best as a silver source. The roasting of silver nitrate at 400 deg.c will have small amount of nitrogen and oxygen species remaining, and the decomposition temperature of silver phosphate is over 800 deg.c, so that these two matters have high silver valence and lowered activity. And silver acetate and silver lactate are used as silver sources, the decomposition temperature is low, a large amount of gas is released, the dispersion of silver is facilitated, the solubility of silver acetate is higher, and the stirring dispersion effect is good, so that the silver acetate is best used as the silver source.
It is seen from examples 3 and 10-12 in tables 1-2 that the silver loading was 4wt.% most effective. In example 10, the silver loading was too high and most of the silver was loaded on the silica support, however, the silica as a weak interaction support did not prevent agglomeration sintering of the silver particles, so that oversized silver particles were formed after reduction, the exposed silver specific surface area was reduced, and the activity was also reduced, as shown in fig. 6, the large-sized unanchored silver particles were present on the right side. While examples 11-12 have small silver particles, a higher silver valence and poor catalytic activity. Thus, a silver loading of 4wt.% works best.
From examples 3 and examples 13-15 in tables 1-2, it is seen that the cerium loading was 2wt.% most effective. With the increase of cerium content, cerium oxide nano-meterIsland size increases, silver particle dispersion increases, particle size decreases, silver valence increases, and thus activity decreases rapidly, as in example 15, at low space velocity of 0.3h, due to cerium oxide as a strongly interacting carrier -1 The conversion of the catalyst was only 27.3%. Meanwhile, the acid-base sites exposed on the cerium oxide are increased, the selectivity of byproducts is increased, and the directional selectivity of methyl glycolate is reduced. Thus, a cerium loading of 2wt.% works best.
As can be seen from examples 3 and 16 in tables 1-2, hydrophilic fumed silica works best as a silicon source. The hydrophilic fumed silica is not dissolved in the water phase, cerium oxide particles are larger, silver valence is slightly higher, and activity is slightly reduced in the process of preparing the difunctional carrier, so that the hydrophilic fumed silica has the best effect as a silicon source.
The preparation method of the bifunctional carrier catalyst has the characteristics of mild condition, simple preparation process, easily obtained raw materials, low cost, excellent catalytic performance and the like, can be singly used for producing methyl glycolate with high economic value and high requirement when being practically applied to industry, can still maintain the yield of more than 90 percent under higher airspeed, and has the space-time yield of silver per unit mass as high as 103.1 g.g Ag -1 ·h -1 . In addition, the stability of the catalyst is greatly improved, the service life of the catalyst is greatly prolonged, the loss caused by the industrial replacement of the catalyst is reduced, and the industrial cost is reduced.
The foregoing has described exemplary embodiments of the invention, it being understood that any simple variations, modifications, or other equivalent arrangements which would not unduly obscure the invention may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
