Description

Catalyst for synthesizing ethylene carbonate, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of preparation of ethylene carbonate, and particularly relates to a catalyst for synthesizing ethylene carbonate, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Ethylene carbonate is an important organic synthesis intermediate, is an important raw material for preparing dimethyl carbonate, furazolidone, lubricating oil and lubricating grease, and can replace ethylene oxide to be used for a dioxygenation reaction; the organic solvent is also an organic solvent with excellent performance, and can be used as a solvent of various polymers, a solvent of acid gas, a spinning silk-drawing liquid and water glass series sizing agent; the product is also an auxiliary agent with excellent performance, and can be used as a plastic foaming agent, an additive of concrete, a stabilizer of synthetic lubricating oil and a fiber finishing agent; is one of indispensable components of the electrolyte of the high-efficiency lithium ion battery.
The preparation method of the ethylene carbonate mainly comprises a phosgene method, an ester exchange method, an ethylene oxide method and a urea method. The phosgene method is to prepare ethylene carbonate by taking phosgene and ethylene glycol as raw materials to react. Phosgene is eliminated because of its high toxicity and explosive property. The ester exchange method is to prepare ethylene carbonate by taking dimethyl carbonate or diethyl carbonate and ethanol as raw materials through ester exchange reaction. Because the raw material dimethyl carbonate or diethyl carbonate is high in price and the reaction yield is low, the production cost is high, and the raw material dimethyl carbonate or diethyl carbonate is rarely used industrially. The ethylene oxide method is the main method for producing ethylene carbonate industrially at present, and ethylene oxide and CO are used2The ethylene carbonate is prepared from raw materials through an addition reaction, but the method has the characteristics of huge potential safety hazard and high cost in the production process due to the wide explosion limit (3-100%) and high price of ethylene oxide. The urea method is a new method for preparing ethylene carbonate in recent years, and the ethylene carbonate is prepared by reacting urea and ethylene glycol as raw materials.The method has the characteristics of cheap and easily obtained raw materials of urea and ethylene glycol, mild reaction conditions, low production cost, environment-friendly and safe process and the like, and the published literature data shows that organic tin compounds, metal oxides, alkali and inorganic salts have certain catalytic action on the reaction of urea and ethylene glycol for preparing the ethylene carbonate. Wherein the metal oxide catalyst is selected from Zn/Cu oxide, Zn/Fe oxide, Zn/Mg oxide, Zn/A1 oxide, especially Zn (NO)3)2·6H2The ZnO catalyst prepared by mixing O and urea has a good catalytic effect on the reaction of urea and ethylene glycol to prepare ethylene carbonate, and the yield of ethylene carbonate can reach 63.32-93.6% (based on urea). In order to further increase the yield of ethylene carbonate, making the urea process more attractive for the preparation of ethylene carbonate, it is necessary to develop a more efficient catalyst.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a catalyst for synthesizing ethylene carbonate, a preparation method and application thereof, aiming at further improving the yield of the ethylene carbonate prepared by the existing urea method.
In order to realize the purpose, the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
one aspect of the present invention provides a catalyst for synthesizing ethylene carbonate, which is a composite oxide composed of Zn and one or two of La and Co. When the catalyst is a composite oxide consisting of Zn and La or Co elements, the Zn, La and Co elements are ZnO and La respectively2O3、Co3O4Calculated by the presence of the morphology of ZnO and La2O3Or Co3O4The mass ratio of (A) to (B) is 1-99: 99-1; when the catalyst is a composite oxide consisting of three elements of Zn, La and Co, the elements of Zn, La and Co are ZnO and La respectively2O3、Co3O4Calculated by the presence of the morphology of ZnO and La2O3-Co3O4The mass ratio of the sum is 1-99: 99 to 1, wherein La2O3And Co3O4The mass ratio of (A) to (B) is 1-99: 99-1.
Another aspect of the present invention provides a preparation method of the catalyst for synthesizing ethylene carbonate, including the following steps:
step 1: adding Zn (NO)3)2·6H2O、La(NO3)3·6H2O and Co (NO)3)2·6H2Dissolving O in water to prepare an aqueous solution of zinc nitrate, an aqueous solution of lanthanum nitrate and an aqueous solution of cobalt nitrate respectively, preparing an aqueous solution of urea as a precipitator, and preparing an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide as a pH value regulator;
step 2: mixing an aqueous solution of zinc nitrate, an aqueous solution of lanthanum nitrate and an aqueous solution of cobalt nitrate according to the set composition of the catalyst, adding the mixed aqueous solutions into an aqueous solution of urea to perform a coprecipitation reaction, dropwise adding an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, and controlling the pH value of the coprecipitation reaction;
and step 3: aging after complete precipitation, filtering, and washing the filter cake with deionized water until no Na remains in the eluate+Until detecting;
and 4, step 4: and drying the filter cake, and calcining in an air atmosphere to obtain the composite oxide catalyst.
Furthermore, the concentration of the zinc nitrate aqueous solution is 5-50 wt%, the concentration of the lanthanum nitrate aqueous solution is 5-45 wt%, the concentration of the cobalt nitrate aqueous solution is 5-50 wt%, the concentration of the urea aqueous solution is 20-50 wt%, and the concentration of the sodium hydroxide aqueous solution is 1-10 wt%. The concentrations of the aqueous solutions of the zinc nitrate, the lanthanum nitrate and the cobalt nitrate are lower than the saturated concentrations of the nitrates at 25 ℃, so that the uniform mixing of the components in the preparation of the mixed solution is facilitated, and the phenomenon that the precipitation of the nitrates due to supersaturation affects the uniform distribution of the active components and further causes the uneven distribution of the active components in the coprecipitation is avoided. The concentration of the precipitator urea aqueous solution is set to be 20-50 wt%, which is beneficial to complete precipitation of metal ions. The pH value regulator of sodium hydroxide with the concentration of 1-10 wt% is prepared in the invention, which is beneficial to controlling the uniformity of precipitated particles.
Further, the temperature of the coprecipitation reaction in the step 2 is 25-60 ℃, and the pH value of the reaction is 8-13. The temperature is too low, the molecular kinetic energy of the solute is small, and the crystal with uniformly distributed active components is not favorably obtained; but the temperature is too high, the molecular kinetic energy of the solute is increased too fast, and the formation of stable crystals is not facilitated, the coprecipitation reaction temperature is set to be 25-60 ℃, and the crystals with uniformly distributed active components and stable structures are obtained.
Further, the aging time in the step 3 is 4-48 hours. The aging time is 4-48 hours, which is beneficial to obtaining crystals with moderate particle size and uniform distribution.
Further, in the step 4, the drying temperature is 80-120 ℃, and the drying time is 4-48 hours. The drying temperature is too low to facilitate the water evaporation in the macropores and micropores of the crystal, and the water evaporation in the macropores and micropores of the crystal is too fast due to too high temperature, so that the strength of the crystal is reduced or the structure is damaged. The drying temperature is set to 80-120 ℃, so that the water in macropores and micropores in the crystal can be evaporated, and the strength of the crystal cannot be reduced or the structure cannot be damaged.
Further, in the step 4, the calcining temperature is 450-1000 ℃, and the calcining time is 4-48 hours. The invention sets the calcination temperature at 450-1000 ℃ to be beneficial to obtaining the composite metal oxide catalyst with higher strength. When the temperature exceeds 1000 ℃, part of active metal can be sintered, and the activity of the catalyst is reduced; temperatures below 450 c can affect the strength of the catalyst. The calcination time is 4-48 hours, which is beneficial to obtaining the composite metal oxide catalyst with sufficient oxidation.
Another aspect of the present invention provides an application of the above composite oxide catalyst in preparation of ethylene carbonate by reaction of ethylene glycol and urea, specifically: adding a composite oxide catalyst with 0.5-10% of the mass of urea into a mixture of ethylene glycol and urea with a molar ratio of 1-5: 1, maintaining the reaction pressure at-0.01-0.09 MPa, the reaction temperature at 120-170 ℃ and the reaction time at 1-5 hours, and obtaining the ethylene carbonate product with high yield.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
(1) the preparation process of the catalyst is simple and easy to implement, and the cost is low;
(2) the catalyst has high activity, mild reaction conditions and high yield of the ethylene carbonate;
(3) the catalyst of the invention has good stability, more times of repeated use and easy separation and regeneration.
