The catalyst of method preparation of the present invention can be used for hydrogenation reaction, can improve conversion ratio and selectivity.Especially the reaction that benzene hydrogenation is prepared cyclohexane is compared with the catalyst that does not adopt the preparation of ultrasonic wave extraction steps, and hydrogen-absorption speed and conversion ratio are the highest can to improve 54% and 82.4% respectively.
In the said method, nickel alumin(i)um alloy is commercially available, and its nickel content is about 40~50 weight %, and the granularity of grinding the back particle is about 80~100 orders.Be to get a certain amount of above-mentioned sample under 5~20 ℃ the environment in room temperature, in ice-water bath, slowly be added in the NaOH solution, the concentration of NaOH solution is 4~10 mol, and weight alloy (gram) is 1: 8~1: 15 with the ratio of alkali lye volume (milliliter), preferably 1: 10; The frequency that ultrasonic wave is handled is 28~48kHz.The temperature of ultrasound bath is 25~60 ℃, is preferably 30~50 ℃.The ultrasonic wave extracting time is about 5~30 minutes, is preferably 10~20 minutes, preferably 15 minutes.Weight alloy (gram) is 1: 10 with the ratio of alkali lye volume (milliliter).The ultrasonic wave extracting finishes the back and continued the backflow stir about 2~6 hours, is preferably 4 hours, and the entire process process is at inert atmosphere, as N
2In carry out, preventing the sample oxidation, and adopt reflux to prevent the variation of NaOH concentration.Reaction is removed supernatant liquor after finishing, and catalyst granules is extremely neutral with the deionized water cyclic washing earlier, and then anhydrates to remove with absolute ethanol washing.The Raney Ni catalyst that makes should be stored in absolute ethyl alcohol.
The Raney Ni catalyst that makes thus determines that by icp analysis its Ni content range is about 70~90 weight %, and total specific area that the BET method is measured is about 70~100 meters
2/ gram, pore volume is 0.054~0.085 centimetre

Hyperacoustic facilitation is mainly owing to its peptizaiton, cleaning action and the microwave energy that provided.Hyperacoustic peptizaiton helps increasing specific area, aperture and pore volume, and it is more even that the activity of such catalysts position is distributed; Hyperacoustic cleaning action can make catalyst surface brighter and cleaner; And the energy activated metal Ni atom as the activated centre that ultrasonic wave provides (bunch), make the hydrogen that is stored in the Raney Ni catalyst more active simultaneously.
The suitable ultrasonic time of control in the suction filtration process of Ni-Al alloy, can significantly improve the hydrogenation activity of Raney Ni catalysis, for example, in embodiment of the present invention, to be used for benzene hydrogenation by the catalyst that ultrasonic wave extracting processing obtains and prepare cyclohexane, the highest hydrogen-absorption speed reaches 43.0 mMs/hour gram, react that conversion ratio reaches more than 20% after 3 hours, compare with the catalyst that does not use ultrasonic wave to carry out alkali extracting Processing of Preparation, hydrogen-absorption speed and conversion ratio are the highest can to improve 54% and 82.4% respectively.Ultrasonic wave to the facilitation of catalytic activity mainly owing to following factor: (1) hyperacoustic peptizaiton attenuates Raney Ni catalyst granules, and decentralization increases, thereby specific area increases; (2) hyperacoustic cleaning action reduces the alumina layer of catalyst surface and other impurity, and the surface is clean, smooth more, makes more active sites be exposed to the surface of catalyst, help its with reactant contact and interaction the raising catalytic activity; (3) hyperacoustic cleaning action helps removing the impurity of Raney Ni skeleton inside, and the duct is increased, and pore volume increases, and helps reactant in the absorption of catalyst inner surface, improves catalytic activity; (4) in the Ni-Al alloy, metal A l provides portions of electronics to metal Ni, and the category-B in this situation and the Ni-B amorphous alloy studies show that in a large number that seemingly the Ni active sites of electron rich attitude helps improving its catalytic hydrogenation activity to phenyl ring.Ultrasonic wave is handled and is made Al content increase in the Raney Ni catalyst, and the ultrasonic processing of what is more important increases the content of Raney Ni surface metal attitude Al, causes metal Ni electron rich more thus, and hydrogenation activity is increased; (5) the microwave energy part that provides of ultrasonic wave is absorbed by the RaneyNi catalyst, makes as the Ni atom of active sites and the hydrogen that is stored in the catalyst more vivaciously, helps improving catalytic hydrogenation activity.But, when ultrasonic time is long, on the one hand particle is reunited, some pore passage structure can be destroyed simultaneously, and the storage of " active hydrogen " among the Raney Ni can be reduced, cause catalytic activity to descend.
The present invention is applied to ultrasonic technology the extracting aluminium process of Raney Ni catalyst first, with the ultrasonic cleaning of the Raney Ni catalyst of having reported exist essential distinction (the Japan Patent 03249946A that has announced be Raney Ni that suction filtration is good in deionized water for ultrasonic and modify optical active substance).This law is easy and simple to handle, cost is low, a kind of novel Raney Ni catalyst (LM Raney Ni not only is provided, be different from W1~W8 type Raney Ni catalyst of having reported), but also provide a kind of new method for the further modification for preparing other matrix type metallic catalysts and Raney Ni catalyst.Prepared LM Raney Ni has bigger aperture and the pore volume of Geng Gao than the Raney Ni (traditional Raney Ni) that handles without ultrasonic wave under the same terms, and specific area also slightly increases; And impurity content significantly reduces in surface and the body.
LM Raney Ni catalyst of the present invention not only has high activity to benzene hydrogenation, and in many catalytic hydrogenation reactions such as hydrogenation of acetonitrile, glucose hydrogenation and hydrogenation of chloronitrobenzene, all shown excellent catalytic activity and selectivity, be expected to substitute traditional Raney Ni catalyst and be used for suitability for industrialized production.
