Description

SPECIFICATION Method of Preparing a Calcium Phosphate Catalyst The present invention relates to the production of catalysts such as can be used, for example, in the manufacture of isoprene from isobutylene and formaldehyde, and more particularly to a method of preparing a calcium phosphate catalyst for use in decomposing 1 ,3-dioxanes and, in particular, 4,4dimethyl-1 ,3-dioxane (hereinafter referred to as DMD) into isoprene, as weil as in alcohol dehydration reactions.
According to the present invention, there is provided a method of preparing a calcium phosphate catalyst, which comprises reacting calcium salts with phosphoric acid salts in aqueous ammonia, separating the resulting precipitate from the reaction mixture, suitably shaping said precipitate, drying it, and subjecting to heat treatment at high temperatures in the presence of steam, wherein according to the invention, heat treatment is performed within a temperature range of 450 to 6000C in the presence of steam mixed with phosphoric acid or aldehyde, or an oxygen-containing heterocyclic compound, or alcohol, or diene hydrocarbon, or steam mixed with an inert gas or air and phosphoric acid, or steam mixed with an inert gas and aldehyde, or an oxygen-containing compound, or alcohol, or diene hydrocarbon.
Formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are preferable to be used as said aldehydes.
It is advisable that as said oxygen-containing heterocyclic compound use is made of methyl dihydropyrane or methylene tetrahydropyrane can suitably be used.
The suitable alcohols are trimethyl carbinol and isopropenyl ethyl carbinol.
The suitable diene hydrocarbons are isoprene or piperylene.
It is also advisable that the reaction of calcium salts with phosphoric acid salts in an aqueous ammonia be carried out with the starting reactants taken in the molar ratio of 1.5:1.
The preferred embodiment is for the reaction of calcium salts with phosphoric acid salts in aqueous ammonia to be effected with the starting reactants taken in a molar ratio within 1.5:1 to 5.0:1 and for the reaction mixture obtained to be treated with a phosphoric acid solution to pH of from 5.0 to 7.0.
It is desirable to treat the reaction mixture with a phosphoric acid solution to pH of from 5.5 to 6.0.
According to the herein-proposed method, a catalyst can be obtained, featuring high selectivity (86.0 to 87.5 mole%), high activity (96.097.0%), and low coke deposition (below 1 mole%).
The aforesaid and other objects and features of the present invention are set forth in the appended claims, and the present invention will be more fully apparent from the detailed description of its embodiments presented herein under.
The proposed method of preparing a calcium phosphate catalyst can be realized as follows.
The starting reactants to be used are solutions of calcium salts, e.g. calcium chloride, and phosphoric acid salts, e.g. diammonium phosphate, disodium phosphate, etc. A suitable amount of aqua ammonia is added to the phosphoric acid salt solution prior to reacting it with the calcium salt solution for pH control of the medium.
The calcium salt and phosphoric acid salt solutions are gradually introduced into a vessel fitted with stirrer, while continuously stirring the slurry being formed. The reaction is carried out with the calcium salt and phosphoric acid salt taken in the molar ratio of 1.5:1. However, the reaction is realizable with the starting reactants having a molar ratio anywhere within the range of 1.5:1 to 5.0:1, preferably 2.5:1. In cases such as these, the reaction mixture is to be treated with a phosphoric acid solution to pH of from 5.0 to 7.0, preferably 5.5 to 6.0.
The above ranges of molar; ratios of calcium salts to phosphoric acid salts and pH values of the reaction medium are consistant with obtaining a calcium phosphate catalyst of desired structure and composition.
The resulting precipitate is separated by filtration or any other known method, washed with distilled water to remove calcium sait anions, shaped into granules by a conventional technique, and dried at a temperature between 110 and 1400C, thus obtaining a raw calcium phosphate which is then loaded for further treatment into a reactor.
The reactor is a quartz tube measuring 20 to 26 mm in diameter. The reactor is placed into an electrically heated oven for the catalyst enclosed in the reactor to be subjected to heat treatment at a temperature within 450 to 6000 C, using steam with an addition of phosphoric acid or an organic compound.
The organic compounds that may be used as additions to steam include formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, methyl dehydropyrane (MDHP), methylene tetrahydropyrane (MTHP), trimethyl carbinol (TMC), isopropenyl ethyl carbinol (IPEA), isoprene, and piperylene.
Where a calcium phosphate catalyst is obtained without pretreatment of the reaction mixture with phosphoric acid solution, heat treatment is preferably performed at 450 C.
However, where the method of calcium phosphate catalyst preparation comprises the step of treating the slurry with phosphoric acid to control the pH values of the reaction mixture to within 5.0 to 7.0, the heat treatment temperature should preferably be 5000C.
Heat treatment can also be carried out using steam mixed with an inert gas such as nitrogen, argon, etc., and with air (when phosphoric acid is added to the steam).
Steam is fed in at a space velocity of 1.0 to 2.0 h-1.
The feed rate of phosphoric acid used for catalyst heat treatment is 0.05 to 0.25 g/h per kg of catalyst.
Heat treatment times are within 2 to 50 hours, preferably between 20 and 30 hours. Space velocity for organic compound used are 0.7 to 1.5 h-', preferably 1.0 h-'.
After the catalyst has been treated with steam mixed with any one of the above-listed organic compounds or with steam mixed with an inert gas and any one of the above compounds in order to burn out the coke deposited on the catalyst surface, the catalyst is now subjected to regeneration by a mixture of steam and air at temperatures between 450 and 6000 C, preferably between 500 and 5500C. Space velocity for air ranges from 500 to 700 h-', for steam, from 1.0 to 2.0 h-l.
The calcium phosphate catalyst thus obtained has the following characteristics. DMD conversion at the level of 96 to 97%, selectivity 86.0 to 87.5 mole%, coke deposition below 1%.
The following typical examples will further illustrate certain aspects of the present invention, delineating more clearly the features and advantages specific to it.
Example 1 The starting reactants used for catalyst preparation are 1.78 1 of a calcium chloride solution containing 101.892 g of salt per 1 l of the solution and 1.6081 of a diammonium phosphate solution containing 51.02 g of salt per 1 l of the solution. An ammonia solution with a concentration of 152.15 g/l is added to the diammonium phosphate solution on the basis of having 2.33 moles of ammonia per 1 mole of diammonium phosphate immediately prior to the reaction.
The calcium chloride and diammonium phosphate solutions are gradually poured into a vessel fitted with a stirrer. The pouring procedure continues for 2 hours, the resulting slurry being continuously stirred all the while. Reaction is carried out with the solutions introduced kept practically in a constant ratio to ensure a calcium salt to phosphoric acid salt molar ratio of 2.5:1 and the slurry having a pH value within 9.0+0.05. The resultant slurry is treated with 1 50 ml of phosphoric acid concentrated to 281.26 g/i in order to reduce the pH value to 5.75.The resulting precipitate is separated from the reaction medium by filtration, washed with distilled water to remove chlorine ions, shaped into granules, and dried at ca. 1 200C. The raw calcium phosphate thus obtained is loaded, in an amount of 24 cm3, into a reactor which has the form of a quartz tube measuring 20 to 26 mm in diameter. The reactor is placed into an electrically heated oven. Steam mixed with phosphoric acid added on the basis of 0.2 g/h acid per 1 kg of catalyst is passed through the catalyst at 4000C for 30 hours.
The resulting catalyst is test run in a DMD decomposition reaction in an atmosphere of steam.
The DMD decomposition process is carried out at atmospheric pressure and a mean temperature of 3200C for the duration of 2 hours.
DMD is fed in at the rate of 24 cm3/h, and water at 48 cm3/h, which gives a DMD space velocity of 1.0 h-' and a DMD to steam dilution ratio of 1:2.
The contact cycle is followed by a regeneration cycle which comprises burning out the coke deposited on the catalyst and is to be repeated after every two hours of catalyst operation.
The regeneration cycle is carried out at 4250C, using 48 cm3/h of water and 16,800 cm3/h of air.
