Description

Method for preparing sorbitol by hydrogenating glucose
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of compounds having hydroxyl groups attached to carbon atoms by reduction of oxygen-containing functional groups, and more particularly to a process for the preparation of sorbitol by hydrogenation of glucose.
Sorbitol is a widely used chemical product, mainly used as raw material for synthesizing vitamin C, as raw material for producing explosive, as medicine (such as syrup), as additive for skin cream, detergent and toothpaste or as thickening agent for paper and fiber, as well as synthetic resin, surfactant and defoaming agent.
Sorbitol is generally prepared by a glucose reduction method, and sorbitol can be prepared by contacting an aqueous glucose solution with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst under suitable process conditions according to the following formula:
meanwhile, mannitol and/or fructose can be generated as byproducts. The catalyst widely used in industry is an active nickel (e.g., Raney Ni) catalyst, but the conversion of glucose is low using this catalyst.
US4,382,150 discloses a process for preparing a corresponding polyol by hydrogenating an aqueous solution of a sugar, comprising contacting a reaction medium consisting essentially of a solution of said sugar with a catalyst under hydrogenation conditions and recovering the resulting polyol. The catalyst consists essentially of nickel dispersed on titanium oxide. Although the method is superior to the Raney Ni method, the conversion capacity of glucose and the selectivity of sorbitol are not high enough. For example, according to the description of example 3, at a reaction temperature of 120 ℃, a reaction pressure of 700Psi (about 4.8 MPa), and a sugar ratio of 2 g of catalyst/60 ml of 45 wt% aqueous glucose solution, the reaction was carried out for 5 hours with a glucose conversion of only 98 wt% and a sorbitol selectivity of only 95 wt%.
US4,380,679 discloses a process for the hydrogenation of saccharides comprising treating the saccharides with hydrogen under hydrogenation conditions and in the presence of a catalyst comprising a metal of group viii of the periodic table deposited on a support comprising a carbon-containing refractory polymer having at least repeat units comprising carbon and hydrogen atoms, and recovering the hydrogenated saccharides. By adopting the method to hydrogenate glucose, when the active components of the catalyst are noble metals such as ruthenium, platinum and the like, the conversion rate of the glucose of 99.0-99.2 wt% can be obtained at 120 ℃, but the dosage of the catalyst is larger, the reaction time is overlong, the selectivity of sorbitol is only 91.3-92.8 wt%, and the noble metal catalyst is expensive, and when the active components of the catalyst are nickel, the conversion rate of the glucose is greatly reduced to 96 wt% under the same conditions.
US4,380,680 discloses a process for the preparation of polyols by hydrogenation of saccharides, comprising contacting an aqueous solution of the saccharide with hydrogen and a catalyst under hydrogenation conditions, said catalyst consisting essentially of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of zero valent osmium, ruthenium, palladium and platinum dispersed on α -alumina, and recovering the resulting polyol.

When the reactor is a batch reactor, the amount of the catalyst used relative to glucose (the ratio of the catalyst to glucose) may be as low as 0.01 wt%, preferably greater than 0.05 wt%, and more preferably 0.05 to 10 wt%. When the reactor is a fixed bed or a magnetic stabilization bed, the liquid hourly space velocity of the glucose aqueous solution can be 0.1-10 hours-1Preferably the liquid hourly space velocity is 1.0 to 7.0 hours-1. The volume ratio of hydrogen to oil (volume ratio of hydrogen to aqueous glucose solution) is 5 to 300, preferably 5 to 150.
The concentration of the aqueous glucose solution generally varies from 10% by weight to its saturation concentration, more preferably from 40 to 55% by weight.
The aqueous glucose solution may be a slightly acidic or slightly alkaline solution, and the pH may vary from 4 to 9, preferably from 5 to 8.5. The pH of the aqueous glucose solution can be adjusted with an alkaline solution, such as sodium hydroxide solution, sodium carbonate solution, or aqueous ammonia solution.
The catalyst has an X-ray diffraction line measured by using a CuK α target as shown in 1 or 2 of figure 1, a diffraction peak at an angle of 2 theta of about 45 degrees in 1 or 2 of figure 1 is a broadened diffraction peak which represents a superposed peak of a microcrystalline [ Ni (111)]surface and amorphous nickel, a diffraction peak at an angle of 2 theta of about 52 degrees in 1 of figure 1 is a diffraction peak with weaker peak intensity which represents a [ Ni (110)]surface of nickel crystals, and the active component nickel in the catalyst used in the method provided by the invention also contains structurally disordered nickel besides crystalline nickel, wherein the structurally disordered nickel comprises amorphous nickel and nickel in a transition state between the crystalline state and the amorphous state as seen from 1 or 2 of figure 1.
The catalyst preferably comprises 65-91 wt% of nickel, 1-8 wt% of iron or molybdenum, 1-5 wt% of phosphorus and the balance of aluminum.

The sodium hydroxide is preferably used in an excess of 30 wt% or more (relative to the amount of Al in the alloy).
Compared with the existing method, the method provided by the invention has higher glucose conversion capability and higher sorbitol selectivity.
