2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a great number of catalysts have been used for synthesizing various chemicals, synthesizing fuels, purifying various exhaust gases, etc., but in recent years, due to demands from environmental and energy problems, Rapid development of new high-performance catalysts is desired in order to further improve the characteristics and efficiency of the catalysts. This rapid catalyst search is an extremely important technology that can contribute to the improvement of energy and environmental problems. Especially in the case of multi-component solid catalysts, the number of combinations of each component becomes enormous. For example, if 10 different components are combined in a five-component catalyst, the number of combinations is close to 100,000. In addition, the number of catalysts will be enormous if the combination of concentrations and the like is included. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to accelerate the catalyst search.

Since there has been no effective method for expediting the search for these multi-component solid catalysts, the search for catalysts is limited to a part by presuming from the data and knowledge accumulated in the past. Since it is conducted, it is considered difficult to conduct a full-scale search without limiting the scope in terms of cost and time. On the other hand, in recent years, as a combinatorial chemistry, a method of making a large number of drugs in parallel has been performed. However, in the case of a multi-component solid catalyst, the loading of each catalyst component is usually carried out in one step, and in the case of carrying out in multiple steps, the loading of the components may be dry rather than reaction, so that the operation of the subsequent step It is difficult to obtain the intended product because the components processed in the previous stage are likely to move. In addition, solid catalysts have the characteristic that they do not directly use a specific compound made from the solid itself or the components supported on the solid, but utilize the catalytic properties that it has, so it is used in ordinary combinatorial chemistry. As described above, the reaction is selectively repeated on the groups immobilized on the solid phase, the solid phase is separated, and the product is finally cut out, which is a very labor-saving and smart method. ” It is difficult to apply the so-called solid phase synthesis method. Furthermore, in the field of solid catalysts, in order to obtain reliable results, it is necessary to evaluate the reaction performance of the prepared catalyst, not by a simple model reaction, but by the reaction actually intended. Even in the case where a large amount of sample is produced by parallel synthesis, it is not easy to test a large amount of sample, because this part also requires much cost and time to obtain effective data indicating the superiority or inferiority of. Except when the cost is not particularly marked, what can usually be done with a large amount of sample is only preliminary evaluation by a very simple reaction that does not necessarily show the same tendency as the desired reaction. In fact, even considering the preparation of the solid catalyst itself,
As shown above, the number of combinations is extremely large in the multi-component system, the number of samples to be prepared also becomes enormous, and the method of making one by one in parallel by the usual method requires a huge cost, and therefore it has a wide range. Search is very difficult. It is difficult to label each particle with a mixture that is prepared as a mixture at one time by some method, and there is usually no method other than the component analysis for each particle. As a result, it is difficult to evaluate the performance by type except for special cases.

The most problematic point in such a catalyst search is that it is not known whether or not there is an effective catalyst within the search range. If there are no effective catalysts in that range, a great deal of time and money will be wasted preparing and evaluating a large number of individual catalysts. In a broad catalyst search, it is most efficient to roughly know whether or not there is an effective catalyst in this search range before it becomes clear which combination and composition of catalyst are effective. . With current technology, it is relatively easy to narrow down and optimize individual catalysts once it becomes clear that the effective catalysts are present in a particular group. Therefore, it was revealed that an effective catalyst consisting of a range of component combinations was obtained by conducting a few times of reaction tests on a large number of catalyst samples prepared therein, by making it possible to easily prepare many kinds of multi-component solid catalysts. If we can find a method that can be done and further devise a device for performing it easily, we will be able to devise an expensive new special analytical method and equipment, and without introducing a large-scale device at a large cost By devising a method, it becomes possible to speed up the search for an economically effective catalyst. However, at the present time, there is no simple device or method for creating such an efficient many catalysts, or a method for knowing whether or not there is an effective catalyst among the catalysts prepared there in a short time with a small number of steps. Is the current situation.

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have found that a predetermined catalyst component is directly and stepwisely used for each carrier particle, that is, an impregnation container is used. It was discovered that various kinds of multi-component solid catalysts can be individually and simply prepared by supplying and supporting them without using the catalysts. Furthermore, various catalyst mixtures having preset components were obtained from these individual catalysts. By comparing and evaluating the catalytic action with a reference catalyst mixture that is prepared at the same time as the mixture, it is possible to judge the presence or absence of the active ingredient with an extremely small number of evaluations, and further evaluate the individual catalysts contained therein. To know the effective individual catalyst
By doing so, it was found that the catalyst search and the catalyst preparation and evaluation steps were greatly saved, and the present invention was completed.

The method for supporting the catalyst component of the present invention is not particularly limited, but a method in which the catalyst-supported particles can be prepared by directly supplying the catalyst component solution to each carrier particle without using an impregnation container or the like is preferable. . As the carrier, usually, the first starting material is silica gel, various structurally ordered substances or alumina, porous carrier spherical particles such as zirconia are the simplest and the best, but other various oxide-based The use of carriers is also possible. Further, instead of the carrier used first, it is also possible to use particles carrying a catalyst component or particles of a coprecipitate prepared by hydrolysis of various salts. Furthermore, the carrier particles do not have to be of one kind, and it is possible to make different carriers at the same time by regularly changing them. It should be noted that the shape of the particles used is spherical and gives the best result. The particle size of the carrier is not particularly limited as long as it can be impregnated and supported and its distribution can be carried out without problems, but naturally, when the particles are too large, impregnation takes time and tends to be non-uniform, and the total amount increases, which is not practical. If it is too small, various subsequent processes become difficult. In practice, particles having a diameter of 0.5 to 3 mm are suitable, including the ease of impregnation and transfer. The shape of the particles is required to be spherical when moving by its own weight, but there is no particular limitation such as a crushed shape if it is moved by power.

A method for absorbing and supporting various catalyst component solutions on these carrier particles is to pump a fixed amount of liquid,
There is no particular limitation, such as a method of spraying the liquid or a method of absorbing the liquid by a siphon by yourself. When it is desired to improve the quantitativeness of particles having a uniform particle size, the cost of the device increases, but the method using a pump is superior. Usually, the method of controlling the amount of adsorption to the carrier autonomously through a siphon by the impregnation method is the simplest and preferable.

Don't Further, when the components are fixed with a four-component catalyst system and the effect of the composition is to be observed, when changing the concentration by four types, respectively, 256 types of solutions must be prepared and impregnated for evaluation. Furthermore, in the case of changing the composition and the concentration at the same time for both of the above, about 80,000 kinds of impregnating solutions are required, which is a difficult task for parallel synthesis.

On the other hand, according to the method of the present invention, in a four-component system consisting of four groups of four types, a parallel impregnating device of four rows and five rows is carried out in four steps and the operation is performed in five rows in parallel. It is possible to easily prepare the above-mentioned 624 catalysts by preparing a solution of only 16 catalyst components, and to collect them automatically by the last loaded component. It can be obtained as a mixture of 5 catalysts, each containing 125 catalysts, including those with no treatment.
Then, for example, by comparing the reaction performance evaluations of these five catalyst mixtures five times, the presence or absence of an effective catalyst and the effect of the final stage component can be understood. It is possible to search for the active ingredient by only preparing and further narrowing down, or examining the performance of individual catalysts that have been set aside beforehand, and it is possible to greatly reduce the time and effort for catalyst preparation and evaluation.

That is, in the conventional method for preparing a multi-component solid catalyst, in order to support each component constituting the catalyst at one time, it is necessary to prepare as many solutions as the kind of the target catalyst. In the above, the catalyst component solution required at the time of preparation needs only the number of catalyst components to be used in combination as components having different concentrations as independent components, and it is extremely easy to set a preset theoretically possible catalyst component solution. It is possible to prepare a wide variety of catalyst particles with all combinations.

Further, the impregnation of the component solution is usually carried out by using a collection of catalyst particles, and the catalyst solution contained in the container is added to the carrier, or conversely, the carrier is added to the catalyst solution in the container. It is done by. The operation of putting the carrier in and out of the container by this method is complicated in processing, and furthermore, a very troublesome operation is required to avoid contamination with other components. Furthermore, in such a treatment, in almost all cases, it is treated in the same manner as powder and adheres to the container,
Precise automatic handling is very difficult, especially for small amounts, and complete automation is difficult. On the other hand, according to the method of the present invention, it is sufficient to carry out the handling of the carrier individually one by one and to carry the catalyst component solution directly into the spherical particles without using a container. Since the supply can be performed by its own weight, for example, the use of a power mechanism or an impregnation container for movement and supply is omitted, and all handling is greatly simplified and complete automation is facilitated.

Furthermore, in the method of the present invention, since the carrier particles can be handled one by one, the carrier (for example, silica gel particles having a diameter of 1.0-1.4 mm and 1000 particles of about 1 g) and the catalyst solution are prepared in a very small amount. Can cost a lot of exploration,
It has many advantages in terms of time, storage, etc., it can be made compact, and it is very easy and inexpensive to perform a wide range of searches by automation. Therefore, unlike expensive parallel synthesizers developed by various companies as combinatorial chemistry up to now, it can be used at the individual level as a simple and inexpensive device similar to the gas chromatography that is commonly used today. . Incidentally, when the capacity of the method of the present invention is calculated, for example, in the case of preparing a multi-component catalyst mainly composed of four components in one small apparatus having a treatment system of four stages and five rows, one catalyst is prepared for one minute in one row. If you can process 5 pieces of the same kind, if you can make 5 pieces of the same kind, the processing amount is 1 kind per minute, and drying, baking,
Aside from the time lag associated with treatment such as reduction, solution exchange, carrier particle exchange, etc., operating for 12 hours a day results in 720 types per day, and 250 days per year gives 180,000 types per year, 1 type per 1 Shows 900,000, which shows the high capability of the method of the present invention. In the field dealing with solid catalysts, there is no example of studying such an enormous amount, and it has been difficult to conduct a wide range of studies such as a five-component system with such a simple method, and it is impossible to automate a large amount of preparation / search. It can be said that it is a breakthrough for catalyst development.

Further, in the present invention, the second mechanical and simple rapid preparation method of various solid catalysts capable of efficiently producing a mixture of various catalysts which can be considered as a combination of catalyst components by a simple procedure In the first method, the non-treatment zone is provided in the catalyst component carrying zone of all stages,
By distributing the carrier particles from the storage tank in the step (2), the carrier particles are supplied to all the first catalyst component supporting zones including the untreated zone, and then supplied from the catalyst component supporting zone of each stage to the next stage. The number of the same kind of catalyst particles to be carried in the next stage is set to the number of components to be carried in the next stage +1 or a multiple of the sum, and the treatment such as carrying all the components in the next stage, including no treatment, is uniformly performed on them. Is. In this method, for example, the first catalyst carrier particles supplied from only one storage tank is defined as the number of catalyst components to be supported in the first stage + 1, and these are subjected to a supporting zone equal to the number of components having one untreated zone. By uniformly supplying to the first stage catalyst component supporting zone, supported catalyst particles on which each first stage catalyst component is supported and untreated carrier on which the first stage catalyst is not supported are obtained. After that, the catalyst-supporting particles are fed from each component-supporting zone of each stage to the next stage with the number of catalyst components of the next stage being +1 for the same type, and the same operation is repeated the required number of stages to achieve the most mechanical. It is possible to efficiently prepare a catalyst having a combination of various types from unsupported ones, two-components, three-components ... Note that these methods cannot produce a catalyst that is co-impregnated with the same catalyst component group, so if you want to prepare such a catalyst component, put it in another catalyst component group or recreate the catalyst component group. And try again. The catalyst components used here do not have to be all different, and may be arbitrarily selected according to the target component composition.

As can be seen from the comparison of Tables 1 and 2, the method of Table 2 is not very efficient, and if possible, the number of bands of the same component of a small number of stages is doubled to reduce the number of stages as much as possible. It is desirable to make them equal. In order to make a plurality of catalyst particles of the same type, after changing the distribution destination, the distribution to the first stage may be repeated as necessary without changing the distribution destination. By doing so, it is possible to easily obtain various multi-way catalysts by preparing the component solutions to be combined in the number of components at the time of preparation. Also, in order to minimize the waiting time of the operation in order to speed up the preparation, the movement of these particles is synchronized with an appropriate time difference so that all the particles move almost uniformly in each row.

With respect to the prepared catalyst, a simple evaluation method for knowing whether or not there is an effective catalyst in the search range is because the system in which an effective catalyst is likely to be formed varies depending on the combination of catalyst components. There are various possibilities such as appropriate grouping based on various knowledge of each person.

Explaining the case of making a four-component catalyst which selects each component according to the example of Table 1, the catalyst components are loaded in the first row, the second row, the third row, and the fourth row, and the fifth row is untreated, The A component group carries the B component group in the second stage, the C component group in the third stage, and the D component group in the final stage in the fourth stage.

Here, if the viewpoints are changed and the differences between the groups are reexamined, each group is obtained by further adding D1, D2, D3, D4 to each catalyst component which is a member of the untreated D5 row. , D5 row and the difference between the other groups are the loaded components in the final stage, and the respective effects can be compared. That is, the reaction evaluation was performed 5 times using the mixed catalysts of each group, and the reaction result of the untreated mixture (that is, the group of D5 row) in the final stage is compared with the result of the other groups. This makes it possible to compare the effects of the components in the final stage, to estimate which component treated with a highly active catalyst, and to know whether each component is effective or negative.

Furthermore, the magnitude of the activity of each mixture also indicates whether there is an effective catalyst in that group. When the existence of an effective catalyst is estimated, since one group actually includes as many as 125 kinds of catalysts, further narrowing down of the catalyst is necessary. For example, if the presence of effective catalysts in the D1 group is estimated, all D
All distributions to the second stage were made just underneath, and the second stage was the A component group, the third stage was the B component group, and the last stage was the C component group. Five groups of 25 kinds of catalysts are obtained, and by using this and performing reaction evaluation 5 times, it becomes possible to compare the C components and narrow down the effective components. As a result, if C2 is effective among these, further narrowing down is performed, so that the first stage is all D1 and the second stage is all C2, the third stage A component group, and the final stage B.
Preparation is performed as a component group, and five groups are obtained for each row. When the evaluation is performed 5 times, the effective B component is found. Finally, the reaction evaluation of 5 individual catalysts in this group reveals the effective A component and the effective catalyst, and the effective catalyst can be determined by only 25 reaction evaluations in total. Become. Actually, if there seems to be an effective catalyst in some group at the stage of narrowing down to about 25 kinds in one group, even if it is not further narrowed down, even if the reaction evaluation is performed for each catalyst, it is 25 times, The effective catalyst can be found from 625 kinds of catalysts by the reaction evaluation of 35 times including the above 5 times and 2 times.

By thus automatically collecting the calcined catalysts as an appropriate mixture and evaluating the reaction thereof, it becomes possible to search for the catalyst with a very small number of times. In these evaluations, if there are many types of catalysts included in one group, it will be difficult to estimate the effective catalyst if there is not much difference in activity between high activity and low activity. It is necessary to select the number in consideration of the size of activity and analysis accuracy, and it is necessary to reflect it in the automatic collection at the final stage. Since the collection can be freely controlled by a computer or the like, there is no particular problem even if the collection is performed for each column, the column is divided into several columns, or different collection modes are used. However, the above method is not necessarily suitable for comparing the activity sizes that are not so large as in the case of optimizing the catalyst performance. In that case, an effective catalyst can be surely found by the method of collecting the catalyst particles by type in the final stage and conducting a reaction test individually. However, in that case, the number of reaction tests naturally increases. Therefore, in the ordinary catalyst search, the catalyst preparation itself can be easily performed as shown in the present invention, so that the range of the catalyst can be narrowed down by changing the collection method, etc. Moreover, it is most effective to combine these two. Depending on the purpose, for example, if the purpose is not to conduct a quick search, there is no particular limitation on the method, such as mixing the prepared catalysts with suitable species or evaluating without mixing at all. For example, if a library of reaction performance is created, it is possible to collect a large amount of data by separately collecting individual catalysts using this device and evaluating them.

The reaction to be evaluated is not particularly limited as long as it can be evaluated by a solid catalyst evaluation apparatus. The method for evaluating the catalyst performance is not particularly limited. But,
Depending on its purpose, it is desirable to select the number of types of catalysts contained in the catalyst mixture for evaluation. Many kinds can be included in a specific reaction whose activity can be easily confirmed, and the number thereof is not particularly limited as long as it can be analyzed. In addition, in the case of a combination of catalysts whose activity does not change so much, it becomes more difficult to confirm the one having high activity when the number is large, so it is more effective to directly evaluate individual catalysts.

In the method of the present invention, the procedure for evaluating the activity of the catalyst mixture has a great influence on labor saving. The simplest method is a method in which after the loading in the final stage, all the untreated parts are mixed and used for evaluation, and all combinations of catalysts that can be considered at one time can be evaluated. This method only looks for activity,
It is usually suitable for searching for a catalyst that is difficult to occur normally, that is, a catalyst that is specifically effective for a reaction that usually has few active substances, and a broad range of search can be performed with a single evaluation, although it is roughly the same.

Usually, the most effective method is to mix the catalysts produced in the final stage as they are in each row and evaluate the resulting mixture to estimate the existence of effective catalysts with high activity in any group. At that time, only the group is re-prepared and further subdivided, or the individual catalysts of the group are newly prepared for evaluation of the individual catalysts, or the individual catalysts previously prepared are reacted. This is a method of evaluation, which makes it possible to identify effective catalysts. If the number of catalysts to be produced is small, it is also possible to save a part of the catalysts produced in advance and store it for re-evaluation. It is easier to readjust with the apparatus according to the present invention if only searching is performed without the purpose of forming a library.

The important findings in the evaluation using the mixture of the present invention are as follows. The first is usually
In a supported solid catalyst mixture, each catalyst particle has a certain size and has a substantially uniform composition within the particle.This is different from the catalyst in which the components are mixed in the particle, and in each particle, This is because the reaction peculiar to the particles independently occurs and the influence of the mixing of the catalyst is not large. Secondly, the case where the effect of mixing appears is seen when the secondary reaction of the reaction product is very fast and a catalyst effective for the reaction is contained in the mixture, but even in this case, the main reaction proceeds. Therefore, it is not a major obstacle in the search for effective catalysts. The third is rarely a reaction related to activation of hydrogen, etc. There is another one with hydrogen activation ability and it may show an activity that can not be found alone, but in this case also the original reaction occurs simultaneously Therefore, if a new reaction occurs in such a mixture, it will be a new discovery and will not particularly hinder the catalyst search here.

In the solid catalyst rapid preparation apparatus of the present invention, when preparing various kinds of solid catalysts, for example, spherical porous particles are used as a carrier, and the catalyst component solution to be supported is first supplied by the number of components, preferably, by a pipe or the like. It is carried out by directly absorbing each particle moved by its own weight in the V-shaped grooves on the parallel slopes without using a container. This greatly simplifies the device. In addition, after the catalyst component solution contained in the first catalyst component group is absorbed and supported as the first step, the supported particles are moved to the drying section by their own weight, for example, and are moved in the inert gas under heating for a predetermined time. As a result, the catalyst components contained in the second catalyst component group can be supported as the second stage by drying in a short time.

In this case, if means for providing an untreated zone is added to each of the catalyst-supporting zones in each stage, the dried particles discharged from each row are catalysts included in the second catalyst component group according to the setting to make all combinations. The column is divided into the component-supporting zone and the non-treatment zone, and one row is untreated as in the first stage, and the second row is loaded with the second catalyst component and dried. Similarly, in the case of a quaternary system, the component solution is loaded four times. In this way, loading is performed in multiple stages, and
Regularly redistributing the particles among the columns in each row makes the operation very simple. In the four-component system shown above, in which one type is selected from each of the four types and four groups, the component solution used is Only the number of component solutions to be supported (here, 16 kinds) is required, so that a catalyst having all theoretically possible combinations can be obtained almost automatically by this simple preparation apparatus. There is no problem even if the number of components in each stage is different.

Next, after the pipe is raised to separate the catalyst-supporting particles from the pipe, the gate 6 is opened to send the catalyst-supporting particles downward. This part is made of, for example, a fluororesin, and the solution and particles can be transferred without adhering to the passage.

A predetermined catalyst mixture consisting of a collection of these solid catalyst particles can be prepared very simply and automatically, and then the effectiveness of the catalyst particles contained in the catalyst mixture can be determined by a reaction using the catalyst mixture. The existence of such multi-component solid catalysts can be rapidly searched, and the effective catalysts can be clarified by individually evaluating the catalysts therein. Therefore, compared with the conventional method in which multi-component solid catalysts are individually prepared and the effectiveness of the catalyst is judged each time, various multi-component catalysts can be prepared very easily and the search range is evaluated from the reaction performance evaluation of extremely few times. By knowing whether or not there is an effective catalyst inside, it is possible to rapidly and rapidly search for an effective catalyst component at low cost.
