Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved catalyst consisting of ⁇ -aluminum oxide as a support material and copper as an active component, which is characterized in that the BET surface area (measured according to DIN 66131) of the aluminum oxide 10 is not less than 30 m 2 / g.
  • the invention further relates to a process for the preparation of the catalyst according to the invention and its use in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone and the use of ⁇ -aluminum oxide with a BET surface area (measured according to DIN 66131) of the aluminum oxide of not less than 30 m 2 / g for the production of a catalyst.
  • Cyclohexanone is produced as an important precursor for polyamide 6 and - 6.6 0 on an industrial scale mainly by catalytic dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol.
  • the high-temperature variant cyclohexanol is dehydrated at temperatures from 320 to 420 ° C
  • the low-temperature variant is carried out in a temperature range from 220 to 260 ° C.
  • a disadvantage of dehydrogenation at high temperatures is low selectivity to cyclohexanol, since considerable secondary reactions such as dehydration of the cyclohexanol to cyclohexene or dimerizations such as the formation of cyclohexenylcyclohexanone occur at the high temperatures.
  • the formation of the by-products requires extensive work-up and affects the economics of the process. 5
  • Catalysts based on copper are primarily used for the dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol at lower temperatures. These catalysts allow the reaction temperature to be reduced to approximately 240 to 280 ° C. and thus enable higher cyclohexanone selectivities. However, the sales due to the equilibrium at the comparatively lower temperature are generally not very high.
  • One class of these low-temperature catalysts contains compositions which consist of copper and a ceramic support, which can be SiO or Al 2 O 3 or a mixture of these oxides.
  • the copper content of these catalysts can be up to 50% by weight.
  • these catalysts can contain small amounts of alkali metals as promoters.
  • the copper catalysts in question are usually produced in such a way that the copper active component is applied either to a prefabricated support by precipitation of a copper salt or by impregnation with a suitable copper salt solution or the components from which the catalyst is composed, be felled together.
  • Another possibility for the production of copper catalysts is the dry mixing of the components and the subsequent calcination.
  • the acidity can be reduced by adding alkali or alkaline earth metals (see, for example, Appl. Cat. A: General Vol. 83, No. 2 (1992), pp. 201-11), but this measure simultaneously leads to a decrease in activity
  • the advantage of higher activity of copper catalysts compared to high-temperature catalysts therefore goes through a
  • catalysts described in A 103 (1994) 233-42 are not suitable for large-scale use, since the catalysts are in the form of a powder. Compression into shaped bodies such as tablets is made difficult by the poor tabletting ability. In addition, the low hardness of the moldings produced in this way means that the reactor has little resistance to abrasion, combined with an increasing pressure loss as the reaction time progresses. This means that large-scale use is generally not possible.
  • the object on which the present invention is based was therefore to provide a catalyst which does not have the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • the catalyst should have a long service life and dehydrate cyclohexanol in high yield and high selectivity to cyclohexanone at comparatively low reaction temperatures. Constant adjustment of the reaction temperature should also be avoided.
  • the catalyst should be able to be processed into molded articles, in particular tablets, strands, rings, cylinders, without great effort and, owing to good hardness and abrasion resistance, should also be able to be used.
  • an improved catalyst consisting of ⁇ -aluminum oxide as support material and copper as active component has been found, the BET surface area (measured according to DIN 66131) of the aluminum oxide being not less than 30 m 2 / g.
  • the catalyst according to the invention is produced by applying the active components copper to an ⁇ -Al 0 3 support in a manner known per se, such as impregnation, precipitation, dry mixing or electroless copper plating, the ⁇ -Al 2 0 3 support according to the invention being a BET Surface area of not less than 30 m 2 / g.
  • An ⁇ -Al 2 O 3 with a BET surface area in the range from 50 to 300 m 2 / g is preferably used, particularly preferably from 100 to 250 m 2 / g.
  • high-surface area ⁇ -Al 2 0 3 is commercially available (for example, obtainable from Alcoa).
  • the carrier When impregnating, the carrier is generally impregnated with an aqueous solution of copper salts, preferably with the nitrates, sulfates, acetates or chlorides of copper, and the impregnated carrier is then dried and calcined.
  • a precipitant which leads to the formation of a poorly soluble copper compound is usually added to an aqueous solution of a copper salt (see above) in the presence of the carrier.
  • the copper is preferably used for the precipitation
  • the carrier When mixing dry, the carrier is usually mixed with the desired copper salt and then calcined.
  • a further preferred embodiment consists in the production of the catalyst by electroless deposition (copper plating) in the presence of the high-surface area ⁇ -aluminum oxide used according to the invention (see also Appl. Catal. A 103 (1994) 233-242).
  • the carrier is usually "inoculated" with a noble metal such as platinum, rhodium, iridium, gold or palladium, preferably palladium, i.e. crystallization-triggering centers are formed.
  • a noble metal such as platinum, rhodium, iridium, gold or palladium, preferably palladium, i.e. crystallization-triggering centers are formed.
  • the complexed copper is deposited on the carrier with a reducing agent.
  • a strong complexing agent such as ethylenediaminotetraacetate, the alkali metal salts of which are added, such as the tetrasodium salt, ethylenediamine or phenathroline, are preferably added.
  • the reduction is then generally carried out using a reducing agent which is able to separate copper (0) from copper salt solutions, such as formaldehyde or sodium formate.
  • the electroless deposition produces particularly small Cu particles.
  • Their size which can be determined with the aid of X-ray diffraction, is generally less than 50 nm, preferably less than 20 nm.
  • the powder or the corresponding shaped body obtained is calcined at a temperature in the range from 250 to 450 ° C. for one to 24 hours in air or an inert gas atmosphere, advantageously in nitrogen. Shaped articles can be produced before or after the calcination process.
  • the catalyst powder obtained from the electroless deposition and by the other processes listed above is preferably, generally with admixture of tabletting aids, to shaped articles such as tablets, strands, rings, wagon wheels, stars, monoliths, spheres, grit or extrudates, preferably tablets , pressed.
  • tabletting aids you can Use commonly used tableting aids. Examples include graphite, magnesium stearate, methyl cellulose (such as Walocel®), Cu powder or mixtures thereof.

  • the BET surface area (measured according to DIN 66131) of the catalyst is generally not less than 30 m 2 / g, preferably in the range from 50 to 300 m 2 / g, particularly preferably in the range from 100 to 250 m 2 / g.

  • the pressure is generally selected in the range from 50 kPa to 5 MPa, in particular one works under atmospheric pressure.
  • a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone is generally used as the starting material for the reaction. Of course, you can also use pure cyclohexanone.

  • Cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol are usually obtained by oxidation of cyclohexane and subsequent concentration of the cyclohexanol by removal of cyclohexanone and other low-boiling components by distillation.
  • the catalyst is reduced with hydrogen before the actual reaction.
  • the procedure is generally such that a hydrogen stream diluted with inert gas, preferably nitrogen, is passed over the catalyst at a certain temperature, preferably in the range from 120 to 300.degree.
  • the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas is then usually increased continuously until there is no significant change in temperature.
  • the starting material is passed over the catalyst in gaseous form, the LHSV (Liquid Hourly Space Velocity) preferably being from 0.1 to 100 h -1 , particularly preferably from 0.1 to 20 h -1 .
