Description

Method and application for synthesizing titanium-containing silicon oxide material by biopolymer

The present invention relates to a method and application for synthesizing titanium-containing silicon oxide material by template method, and in particular to a method for synthesizing titanium-containing silicon oxide material by using biopolymer as a template, and the titanium-containing oxide material Silicon material is used as a catalyst to produce epoxide through direct oxidation reaction of olefin.

Titanium-containing silicon oxide materials often have a porous structure with a high surface area, and can be used as excellent adsorbents, catalysts or catalyst carriers. At present, the most common synthesis of titanium-containing silicon oxide materials is prepared by using surfactants as templates and combined with hydrothermal reaction methods. The most famous example is the use of positively charged quaternary ammonium salt interfaces. The active agent is used as a template; for example, US patents US 7018950, US 688782 and US 6512128 all disclose methods for preparing titanium-containing silicon oxide catalysts. The steps are mainly to use silicon source, titanium source and quaternary ammonium as a template The ions are mixed and stirred in the solvent to obtain a solid containing the catalyst component and the template agent, and then the template agent is removed from the obtained solid, so as to obtain a specific pore size, specific pore size distribution and specific volume ratio containing Titanium silica catalyst.

Using the template method to prepare titanium-containing silicon oxide material is to introduce titanium into a silicon dioxide material with a high surface area, which can make the material's catalytic activity more diverse. During the preparation process, the templating agent will form micelles in the aqueous solution, and the added silicon compound will gather around the micelles and form a silicon oxide substrate on them. This templating agent (ie, surfactant) can pass high temperature The calcination process or extraction process removes it, and then creates a porous structure material with a size and shape similar to the template agent. The advantage of this preparation process is that the pore volume of the synthesized material can be controlled by the molecular size of the template, and the pore size can be controlled by the microcell size of the template. However, the use of surfactants as template agents is more costly and may cause toxicity, and there are more concerns about environmental pollution.

In order to overcome the various deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the applicant of the present invention specially developed a relatively low-cost and non-toxic green material as a template to prepare titanium-containing silicon oxide materials to reduce the environmental pollution caused by the manufacturing process. Therefore, the prepared titanium-containing silicon oxide material can have high catalytic activity in the epoxidation reaction.

The titanium-containing silicon oxide material prepared by the invention can be used as a catalyst to prepare epoxides. Please refer to FIG. 2 to illustrate the process steps of the method for applying the titanium-containing silicon oxide material prepared by the present invention to the preparation method of epoxide. The figure shows three steps S200-S220. In step S220, an epoxide preparation method is described. It is defined in steps S200 and S210 that two possible steps in the preparation process of the epoxide can be added to improve the high catalytic activity of the catalyst. In practice, one or more of steps S200 and S210 can be used in a single production process, but for the sake of brevity, these steps are presented together (the dotted box indicates that these features are optional), Put it in a single flowchart.

As in steps S200 and S210, before the catalytic reaction, silylation and/or incorporation of transition metals into the titanium-containing silicon oxide material can be selected to increase the catalytic activity of the catalyst. The remaining details of these steps are the same as the aforementioned steps S130 and S140, and can also be combined with the processing steps of molding and granulation, and will not be repeated here.

These organic peroxides include, but are not limited to: ethylbenzene hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, tertiary butyl hydroperoxide or cyclohexyl hydroperoxide; when cumene hydroperoxide is used as Organic peroxide, the product after the reaction is alpha-Cumyl alcohol. α-Cumyl alcohol can be converted into α-methyl styrene by dehydration. In addition to its many industrial applications, this compound can be converted to cumene after hydrogenation. Benzene can become cumene hydrogen peroxide after oxidation; other kinds of organic peroxides also have similar characteristics that can be recycled and reused.

The oxide used in the epoxidation reaction can also be hydrogen peroxide, and its general formula is H-O-O-H. Hydrogen peroxide can be obtained in the form of an aqueous solution, and can produce epoxide and water after reacting with olefin compounds.

The oxide as a reactant may be a pure or impure substance that has been concentrated or diluted.

During the epoxidation reaction to produce epoxide, a solvent or diluent can be added to make the reaction proceed in a liquid state. The solvent and diluent become liquid under the conditions of the epoxidation reaction and are inert to each reactant and product. These solvents include, but are not limited to: methanol, acetone, ethylbenzene, cumene, isobutane or cyclohexane, etc., or a mixture of them. The solvent can be a substance that exists in the oxide solution to be used. For example, when a mixed solution of cumene hydroperoxide and cumene is selected as the oxide, cumene can be used for the epoxidation reaction. The required solvent does not need to add an additional solvent.

In the foregoing method, the amount of catalyst used is not strictly limited, as long as the epoxidation reaction can be completed in the shortest time. The molar ratio of the olefin compound to the oxide used during the reaction is between 1:100-100:1, preferably between 1:10-10:1. The reaction temperature is not particularly limited, and is usually 0-200°C, preferably 25-150°C. The reaction pressure is sufficient to ensure that all the reactants have a liquid composition or more, preferably between 1-100 atmospheric pressure. The reaction residence time is the shortest time for obtaining the highest yield of epoxide, generally 1 minute to 48 hours, preferably 5 minutes to 8 hours. This procedure is applicable to any reactor or instrument, for example, fixed bed, conveying bed, fluid bed, slurry stirring, or continuous flow stirred reactor in batch, continuous or semi-continuous mode.
