Description
本発明は、酸化エチレン製造用触媒および該触媒を用いた酸化エチレンの製造方法に関し、詳しくは、触媒活性および選択性に優れた酸化エチレン製造用触媒、ならびに該触媒の存在下にエチレンを分子状酸素により気相接触酸化して酸化エチレンを製造する方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a catalyst for producing ethylene oxide and a method for producing ethylene oxide using the catalyst, and more specifically, a catalyst for producing ethylene oxide excellent in catalytic activity and selectivity, and molecular ethylene in the presence of the catalyst. The present invention relates to a method for producing ethylene oxide by gas phase catalytic oxidation with oxygen.
エチレンを分子状酸素含有ガスにより気相接触酸化して酸化エチレンを製造する際に用いる酸化エチレン製造用触媒については、従来から数多くの文献が紹介されている。 Numerous documents have been introduced in the past regarding ethylene oxide production catalysts used when ethylene oxide is produced by vapor-phase catalytic oxidation of ethylene with a molecular oxygen-containing gas.
例えば、α−アルミナ担体の外表面上および気孔の表面上に非晶質シリカの被覆層を設けた担体に銀を担持した触媒が開示されている(特許文献1)。また、元素周期律表のIIIa−VIIaおよびIIIb−Vb族の第4、5および6周期の元素(例えばチタン、スズ、ハウニウムなど)からなる群より選ばれた1種あるいは2種以上の化合物を含むα−アルミナ担体に、銀を担持した触媒も開示されている(特許文献2)。さらに、高純度α−アルミナ、アルカリ土類金属酸化物、ケイ素酸化物および酸化ジルコニウムを含む担体を用いた触媒が開示されている(特許文献3)。
上記特許文献1〜3に記載の触媒は、触媒性能に優れ、工業的に十分満足し得るものである。しかしながら、酸化エチレンの生産規模は非常に大きく、選択率が僅かに向上するだけでも、原料であるエチレンを著しく節約できるので、その経済的効果が高いとの事情から、より優れた触媒性能を有する酸化エチレン製造用触媒の開発が望まれている。

本発明者らは、酸化エチレン製造用触媒および該触媒に用いる担体について鋭意検討した結果、KBr錠剤法で測定された赤外吸収スペクトルにおいて、波数3,150〜3,800cm−1の領域における赤外吸収ピークが実質ゼロであるα−アルミナを主成分とする担体を用いて調製された酸化エチレン製造用触媒は、上記波数領域の赤外吸収スペクトルにおいて実質的に赤外吸収ピークが認められるα−アルミナを主成分とする担体を用いて調製された酸化エチレン製造用触媒に比べて、エチレンに対する活性が高くかつ酸化エチレンの選択率が高いことを見いだし、この知見に基づいて本発明を完成するに至った。 As a result of intensive studies on a catalyst for producing ethylene oxide and a carrier used for the catalyst, the present inventors have found that in the infrared absorption spectrum measured by the KBr tablet method, red in the region of wave numbers of 3,150 to 3,800 cm −1. The catalyst for ethylene oxide production prepared using a carrier mainly composed of α-alumina having an outer absorption peak of substantially zero has a substantially infrared absorption peak in the infrared absorption spectrum in the wave number region. -It has been found that it has higher activity against ethylene and higher ethylene oxide selectivity than a catalyst for producing ethylene oxide prepared using a carrier mainly composed of alumina, and the present invention is completed based on this finding. It came to.
したがって、上記諸目的は、下記(1)〜(4)により達成される。 Therefore, the above objects are achieved by the following (1) to (4).
(1) KBr錠剤法で測定された赤外吸収スペクトルにおいて、波数3,150〜3,800cm−1の領域における赤外吸収スペクトルが実質的にゼロであるα−アルミナを主成分とする担体に銀を担持してなる酸化エチレン製造用触媒。 (1) In an infrared absorption spectrum measured by the KBr tablet method, a carrier mainly composed of α-alumina, whose infrared absorption spectrum in the region of wave numbers 3,150 to 3,800 cm −1 is substantially zero.

(3) 該担体のSiO2含有率が0.1〜2質量%である前記(1)または(2)に記載の触媒。 (3) The catalyst according to (1) or (2), wherein the support has a SiO 2 content of 0.1 to 2 % by mass.
(4) 前記(1)〜(3)のいずれか一つに記載の触媒の存在下にエチレンを分子状酸素含有ガスにより気相酸化することを特徴とする酸化エチレンの製造方法。 (4) A method for producing ethylene oxide, characterized in that ethylene is vapor-phase oxidized with a molecular oxygen-containing gas in the presence of the catalyst according to any one of (1) to (3).
本発明によれば、上記触媒用担体を用いることで、高活性かつ高選択性の触媒を得ることができる。また、本発明の酸化エチレン製造用触媒を用いて気相接触酸化反応を行うことで、高い収率で酸化エチレンを製造することができる。 According to the present invention, a highly active and highly selective catalyst can be obtained by using the catalyst carrier. Moreover, ethylene oxide can be manufactured with a high yield by performing a gaseous-phase catalytic oxidation reaction using the catalyst for ethylene oxide manufacture of this invention.
本発明による酸化エチレン製造用触媒は、KBr錠剤法で測定された赤外吸収スペクトルにおいて、波数3,150〜3,800cm−1の領域における赤外吸収ピークが実質ゼロであるα−アルミナ担体を用いることを特徴とする。具体的には、赤外吸収スペクトルが実質的に図1に示される赤外吸収スペクトルを示す担体を用いることを特徴とする。 The catalyst for producing ethylene oxide according to the present invention comprises an α-alumina carrier having an infrared absorption peak substantially zero in the region of wave numbers of 3,150 to 3,800 cm −1 in the infrared absorption spectrum measured by the KBr tablet method. It is characterized by using. Specifically, a carrier having an infrared absorption spectrum substantially having an infrared absorption spectrum shown in FIG. 1 is used.
本発明において、波数3,150〜3,800cm−1の領域における赤外吸収ピークが実質ゼロである担体とは、KBr錠剤法で測定された担体の赤外吸収スペクトルにおいて、波数3,150〜3,800cm−1の領域において赤外吸収ピークを実質的に認めることができないこと、すなわち、当該スペクトル領域において明確な赤外吸収ピークが存在しないことを意味する。詳しくは、当該スペクトル領域における吸光度のピーク面積が実質上ゼロであることを意味する。更に詳しくは、測定された赤外吸収スペクトルにおいて、波数3,150cm−1の吸光度と3,800cm−1の吸光度を直線で結んだ場合の当該直線と、波数3,150〜3,800cm−1の領域の赤外吸収スペクトルの線が実質的に重なることを意味する。 In the present invention, a carrier having an infrared absorption peak substantially zero in the region of wave numbers 3,150 to 3,800 cm −1 is an infrared absorption spectrum of the carrier measured by the KBr tablet method. This means that an infrared absorption peak cannot be substantially observed in the region of 3,800 cm −1 , that is, there is no clear infrared absorption peak in the spectral region. Specifically, it means that the peak area of absorbance in the spectral region is substantially zero. More specifically, in the measured infrared absorption spectrum, the straight line when the absorbance at wave number 3,150 cm −1 and the absorbance at 3,800 cm −1 are connected by a straight line, and the wave number 3,150-3,800 cm −1. This means that the lines of the infrared absorption spectrum in the region of are substantially overlapped.
本発明における担体の赤外吸収スペクトルは、従来公知のKBr錠剤法で測定される。具体的には、触媒用担体を磨り潰して粉末状にし、該担体1質量部とKBr75質量部を均−に混合した後、プレスしたものについて赤外吸収スペクトルを測定する。 The infrared absorption spectrum of the carrier in the present invention is measured by a conventionally known KBr tablet method. Specifically, the catalyst carrier is ground and powdered, 1 part by mass of the carrier and 75 parts by mass of KBr are mixed uniformly, and then the infrared absorption spectrum of the pressed product is measured.
前記担体の波数3,150〜3,800cm−1の領域の赤外ピークが何に由来するかは正確には不明であるが、SiOHに由来するものと推定している。 It is unclear exactly what the infrared peak in the region of wave numbers 3,150 to 3,800 cm −1 of the carrier is derived from, but it is presumed to be derived from SiOH.
本発明において赤外吸収ピークが「実質ゼロ」とは、上記赤外吸収ピークの高さが0.1以下、より好ましくは0.05以下、さらに好ましくは0.03以下のことをいう。 In the present invention, the phrase “substantially zero” as the infrared absorption peak means that the height of the infrared absorption peak is 0.1 or less, more preferably 0.05 or less, and still more preferably 0.03 or less.
ここで、ピーク高さの求め方は、つぎのとおりである。 Here, how to obtain the peak height is as follows.
図1に示すグラフにおいて、赤外吸収スペクトル(図中、太い実線)において、波数3,150cm−1の時の吸光度をX、波数3,800cm−1の時の吸光度をYとし、XとYを直線(図中、破線)で結ぶ。 In the graph shown in FIG. 1, infrared absorption spectrum (in the figure, the thick solid line) in the absorbance at a wave number 3,150cm -1 X, the absorbance when the wave number 3,800Cm -1 and Y, X and Y Are connected by a straight line (broken line in the figure).
波数3,150〜3,800cm−1の吸収スペクトルのうち、最も吸光度の高い部分をAとし、Aからの垂線(図中、細い実線)を下ろして上記の直線と交差する点をBとする。 Of the absorption spectrum of wave numbers 3,150-3,800 cm −1, the portion with the highest absorbance is designated as A, and the perpendicular line from A (the thin solid line in the figure) is taken down and the point intersecting with the straight line is designated as B. .
A−Bを本発明におけるピーク高さとする(すなわち、点Aの吸光度−点Bの吸光度=ピーク高さ)。 AB is the peak height in the present invention (that is, absorbance at point A−absorbance at point B = peak height).
ピーク高さを求める際、吸収スペクトルのバックグラウンド補正はしない。 When calculating the peak height, the background of the absorption spectrum is not corrected.
本発明の酸化エチレン製造用触媒に用いるα−アルミナを主成分とする担体については、KBr錠剤法で測定された赤外吸収スペクトルにおいて、波数3,150〜3,800cm−1の領域の赤外吸収ピークが実質ゼロであることを除けば、特段の制限はないが、特に以下の組成および物性を有する担体が好ましい。 About the support | carrier which has (alpha) -alumina as a main component used for the catalyst for ethylene oxide manufacture of this invention, in the infrared absorption spectrum measured by the KBr tablet method, the infrared of the area | region of a wave number of 3,150-3,800cm < -1 > was used. There is no particular limitation except that the absorption peak is substantially zero, but a carrier having the following composition and physical properties is particularly preferable.
本発明で用いるα−アルミナを主成分とする担体の成分の一例としては、α−アルミナは90質量%以上、好ましくは95質量%以上、より好ましくは98質量%以上であり、アルカリ金属および/またはアルカリ土類金属(いずれも酸化物換算)0〜5質量%、好ましくは0.01〜4質量%および遷移金属酸化物を0〜5質量%、好ましくは0〜3質量%からなるものを挙げることができる。 As an example of the component of the carrier mainly composed of α-alumina used in the present invention, α-alumina is 90% by mass or more, preferably 95% by mass or more, more preferably 98% by mass or more. Or alkaline earth metal (both oxide conversion) 0 to 5% by mass, preferably 0.01 to 4% by mass and transition metal oxide 0 to 5% by mass, preferably 0 to 3% by mass Can be mentioned.

なお、上述した担体の組成や各成分の含有量は、蛍光X線分析法を用いて決定されうる。 The composition of the carrier and the content of each component described above can be determined using a fluorescent X-ray analysis method.
本発明で使用する担体の形状については特に制限はなく、リング状、球状、円柱状など、任意の形状を選択することができる。また、その大きさ(平均相当直径)は、通常、3〜20mmであり、好ましくは5〜10mmである。 There is no restriction | limiting in particular about the shape of the support | carrier used by this invention, Arbitrary shapes, such as a ring shape, spherical shape, and cylindrical shape, can be selected. Moreover, the magnitude | size (average equivalent diameter) is 3-20 mm normally, Preferably it is 5-10 mm.
本発明で使用する担体のBET(Brunauer−Emmet−Teller)比表面積は、0.03〜10m2/g、好ましくは0.5〜5m2/g、より好ましくは1.0〜2.5m2/gの範囲にあるものがよい。比表面積が低すぎると触媒成分の高分散担持が困難となる。逆に、比表面積が高すぎると、担体の微小細孔が多くなり、該担体を用いて調製した触媒において、生成物である酸化エチレンの逐次酸化が促進される。 The carrier used in the present invention has a BET (Brunauer-Emmet-Teller) specific surface area of 0.03 to 10 m 2 / g, preferably 0.5 to 5 m 2 / g, more preferably 1.0 to 2.5 m 2. Those in the range of / g are preferable. If the specific surface area is too low, it becomes difficult to carry the catalyst component in a highly dispersed state. On the other hand, if the specific surface area is too high, the number of micropores of the support increases, and in the catalyst prepared using the support, sequential oxidation of the product ethylene oxide is promoted.

If the average pore diameter is too large, practical carrier strength cannot be obtained. Conversely, if the average pore diameter is too small, the sequential oxidation of ethylene oxide, which is a product, may be promoted due to the residence of the product gas.
本発明で使用する担体の吸水率は、10〜70質量%、好ましくは20〜60質量%、より好ましくは30〜50質量%の範囲にあるのがよい。吸水率が上記範囲より低すぎると触媒成分の担持が困難になり、逆に、吸水率が上記範囲より高すぎると実用上十分な強度が得られない。 The carrier used in the present invention has a water absorption rate of 10 to 70% by mass, preferably 20 to 60% by mass, more preferably 30 to 50% by mass. If the water absorption is lower than the above range, it is difficult to support the catalyst component. Conversely, if the water absorption is higher than the above range, a practically sufficient strength cannot be obtained.
