Background technology
Morpholine has another name called 1, and the 4-morpholine is important fine chemicals, is mainly used in rubber accelerator, vulcanizing agent, corrosion inhibiter, scale preventative, is the raw material of medical surfactant and textile auxiliary.The morpholine synthetic method is mainly two big classes, the one, diethanolamine strong acid evaporation, the 2nd, diethylene glycol (DEG) ammoniation process.Diethanolamine strong acid evaporation is because cost of material is more expensive, and three-waste pollution is serious, stops using basically at present.And the diethylene glycol (DEG) ammoniation process is a raw material with the petrochemical by-product diethylene glycol (DEG) all, and synthetic through catalytic ammoniation, cost is low, is the synthetic main method of morpholine, and this method key issue is preparation conversion ratio height and the good catalyst of selectivity.From the catalyst of diethylene glycol (DEG) and ammonia synthesize morpholine, be basic active component with Ni and Cu mostly, add metals such as Cr, Ti, Zn or Co again, reported some Catalysts and its preparation methods as open source literature, we take passages as follows by retrieval:
