Background
Hydrogen peroxide is an important inorganic chemical product, and is widely used in a plurality of fields of textile, papermaking, chemical synthesis, environmental protection and the like, and is closely related to improving the national life quality and level. At present, products are mainly classified into industrial grade, electronic grade and food grade, and the industrial grade is mainly applied to the fields of chemical synthesis, pulp bleaching, printing and dyeing, metallurgy, environmental protection and the like; the electronic grade is mainly used for cleaning silicon chips, etching printed circuit boards and processing semiconductor materials; food grade is mainly used for the production and processing of food.
The production method of hydrogen peroxide mainly comprises six methods of acidolysis peroxide method, electrolysis method, anthraquinone method, isopropanol method, oxygen cathode reduction method and hydrogen-oxygen direct oxidation method, wherein the anthraquinone method is the most main method for producing hydrogen peroxide at home and abroad at present.
The main industrial catalysts used for anthraquinone hydrogenation reactions are supported palladium-based catalysts. The deactivation of the anthraquinone hydrogenation palladium catalyst mainly comprises the following three reasons: firstly, the catalyst is deactivated by the blockage of surface organics. As the side reaction in the system proceeds, anthraquinone degradation products are increased gradually, and the generated degradation products cover the surface of the catalyst, so that the active sites capable of participating in the reaction are reduced, the catalyst is prevented from being contacted with alkylanthraquinone to generate hydrogenation reaction, and the hydrogenation efficiency is reduced. Secondly, the catalyst is deactivated by loss of surface metal. Thirdly, the catalyst loses activity due to poisoning, mainly referring to CO and CO in hydrogen 2 And H 2 S and other impurities. Wherein deactivation by reason one can restore the catalyst activity by catalyst regeneration.
At present, a common catalyst regeneration mode in industry is to desorb organic compounds on the surface of a catalyst by using high-temperature water washing, oxidize palladium particle crystals on the surface of a carrier, reduce the palladium particles by hydrogen, recover the activity, purge the catalyst by using nitrogen after the catalyst is regenerated, purge impurities, carbon deposit and the like in surface holes of the catalyst, and take away moisture on the surface of the catalyst.
However, cracking phenomenon of a part of regenerated catalyst is found in the regeneration process of the industrial catalyst, and the catalyst is crushed and reused, so that the bed pressure is reduced and the service life of the catalyst is influenced.
