Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術的分野】
本発明は、カルボン酸類を原料としてエステル化工程を経ることなく、水存在下、水素により直接水添してアルコール類を得るための触媒および該触媒を用いたカルボン酸類からアルコール類を製造する方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
アルコール類は、種々の産業分野で広範に使用されている有用な物質である。特にジオール類はポリエステル樹脂、ウレタンフォームやウレタン塗料、接着剤の原料として有用である。このようなジオールの1種として例えば1,4−ブタンジオールの製造法については、コハク酸あるいはマレイン酸を水添して製造する方法が数多く報告されている。最も良く知られている方法として銅系の触媒を用いてコハク酸あるいはマレイン酸のエステルを高温、高圧で水添する方法がある。しかしながら、この方法では、カルボン酸を直接水添することができず、カルボン酸を一旦エステルに転換後水添しなければならず、製造工程が長くなるという問題があった。
【0003】
一方、コハク酸あるいはマレイン酸を直接水添して1,4−ブタンジオールを製造する方法もいくつか提案されている。その触媒系のみを列記するとルテニウム−鉄酸化物からなる触媒(米国特許第4,827,001号明細書)、ルテニウム−錫をBET表面積2000m2/g以上の多孔質炭素に担持した触媒(特開平5−246915号公報)、ルテニウム及び錫をチタン及び/又はアルミナで修飾したシリカに担持した触媒(特開平6−116182号公報)、ルテニウム及び錫、並びにアルカリ金属化合物またはアルカリ土類金属を担体に担持した触媒(特開平6−239778号公報)、ルテニウムと白金及びロジウムから選ばれた少なくとも1種と錫とを担体に担持した触媒(特開平7−165644号公報)、ルテニウムと錫を担体に担持してなる触媒を用い、過剰の水素を反応系に流通させ、同伴してくる生成物を系外に除去しながら反応を行う方法(特開平9−12492号公報)、ルテニウム−錫−白金を担体に担持した触媒(特開平9−59190号公報)、炭素数5以下のカルボニル化合物が共存した担持成分を含有する溶液を活性炭に含浸して調製したルテニウム−錫−白金を活性炭に担持した触媒(特開平10−15388号公報)、ルテニウム−錫−白金をあらかじめ硝酸と接触した活性炭に担持した触媒(特開平10−71332号公報)が提案されているが、いずれの触媒を用いる方法においても、水添生成物である1.4−ブタンジオール、テトラヒドロフラン、γ−ブチロラクトンの選択率が十分でなく、1,4−ブタンジオールの収率は不満足なものであった。
【0004】
また特開平7−82190号公報にはパラジウムとレニウム化合物からなる触媒を用い、三級アルコールを溶媒として水素化を行う方法が提案されているが、反応速度が未だ不十分であった。
上述したように従来技術において、活性炭を担体とした触媒を用いる直接水添の例が開示されており、活性炭の比表面積や前処理方法についても幾つかの検討がなされている。
【0005】
一般的な活性炭の製造方法として賦活過程という原料炭素質の熱分解工程を経るが、その賦活方法として各種の酸化性ガス(水蒸気、二酸化炭素、空気など)を用いるガス賦活法と、脱水性の塩類及び酸(塩化カルシウム、塩化マグネシウム、塩化亜鉛、リン酸、硫酸、苛性ソーダ、苛性カリなどのアルカリ類など)を用いる薬品賦活法が知られている。現在、ガス賦活法が米国をはじめ世界的に広く、かつ最も多く採用されており、活性炭製造の主流を占めており、薬品賦活法は現在、特殊用途向けにのみ製造されている。
【0006】
このような賦活法の違いにより、活性炭の物性として細孔分布の異なる活性炭が得られる。例えば塩化亜鉛賦活粉末炭は、トランジショナル孔と呼ばれる細孔半径が10〜100Åの細孔が発達し、その細孔容積が特異的に大きい。このような活性炭をジカルボン酸の直接水添触媒の担体に用いることは上記の従来の技術には何も述べられていない。
また、米国特許第5,698,749号明細書にはパラジウム−銀−レニウムをあらかじめ硝酸酸化処理した活性炭に担持した触媒を用いてマレイン酸から1,4−ブタンジオールが比較的高収率で得られることが述べられているが、グルタル酸あるいはアジピン酸の水素化還元反応の成績については何も記載されていない。
【0007】
特開平11−60523号公報にはあらかじめ酸処理した活性炭にルテニウム−錫−白金を担持した触媒を用いてアジピン酸から1,6−ヘキサンジオールが高収率で得られることが述べられているが、前記特開平10−71332号公報において述べたように、この触媒を用いて、コハク酸あるいはマレイン酸から1,4−ブタンジオールを選択的に高収率で得ることは困難である。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、カルボン酸の種類に関係なく、いずれのカルボン酸を原料に用いてもアルコール類を高収率で得ることができる触媒を提供すること、およびその触媒を用いたカルボン酸の直接水添によるアルコール類の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。特にコハク酸、グルタル酸、アジピン酸のいずれを原料に用いてもジオール類を高収率で得ることができる触媒、および直接水添の方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決すべく、本発明者らが鋭意検討した結果、塩化亜鉛賦活を行って製造した、トランジショナル孔と呼ばれる細孔半径が10Å以上100Å以下の細孔容積が大きな活性炭を担体として使用し、ルテニウムと錫を担持した触媒が、驚くべきことに、原料に用いるカルボン酸の種類に関係なく、いずれのカルボン酸を原料に用いてもアルコール類を高収率で得ることができる触媒であることを見出し、本発明に至ったものである。

である。
【0013】
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
本発明の水添触媒は、特定の製造方法により製造された活性炭にルテニウムおよび錫を担持させたものであり、好ましくはルテニウムおよび錫に加えてレニウム、モリブデン、パラジウム、銀およびニッケルから選ばれる少なくとも1種の金属を担持させて調製したものである。この中でもレニウムとモリブデンがより好ましく、特にレニウムが好ましい。
【0014】
本発明において用いられる活性炭は、塩化亜鉛賦活炭である。塩化亜鉛賦活炭の製造方法は公知の方法を用いればよく、その詳細は例えば「活性炭読本第2版」(柳井弘編著、石崎信男著、日刊工業新聞社)等に記載されているように出発原料として、のこくず、低灰分の泥炭、麦わら、あし、堅果およびカラなどを使用し、塩化亜鉛の濃厚溶液を含浸させた後に焼成する工程を含む製造方法によって製造された活性炭である。また、この活性炭は、不純物を除去するためにルテニウムおよび錫などの金属を担持する前に熱水等で処理してもよい。
【0015】
この塩化亜鉛賦活炭は、トランジショナル孔と呼ばれる、細孔半径が10Å以上100Å以下の細孔が発達し、その細孔容積が特異的に大きいという特徴を持つ。この塩化亜鉛賦活炭における細孔半径と細孔容積の関係は、窒素ガス吸着法によって細孔容積、BET比表面積を測定した場合に、細孔半径が10Å未満の細孔容積が0.03cm3/g以上0.8cm3/g以下であり、細孔半径が10Å以上100Å以下の細孔容積が0.5cm3/g以上2.0cm3/g以下であり、全細孔容積が1.2cm3/g以上3.0cm3/g以下であり、比表面積が800m2/g以上2000m2/g未満である。さらに好ましくは、細孔半径10Å未満の細孔容積が0.04cm3/g以上0.7cm3/g以下であり、細孔半径10Å以上100Å以下の細孔容積が0.7cm3/g以上1.8cm3/g以下であり、全細孔容積が1.4cm3/g以上2.7cm3/g以下であり、比表面積が1000m2/g以上1800m2/g以下である。
【0016】
一般的な水蒸気賦活炭の細孔容積は、トラジショナル孔と呼ばれる、細孔半径が10Å以上100Å以下の細孔容積が0.02cm3/g以上0.4cm3/g以下であるが、本発明の目的とする、カルボン酸の種類に関係なくアルコール類を高収率で得る触媒とするには、トラジショナル孔の細孔容積が大きい活性炭を担体に用いることが必要である。即ち、細孔半径が10Å以上100Å以下の細孔容積が0.5cm3/g以上2.0cm3/g以下の活性炭を用いることが必要である。
【0017】
一方、触媒の担体としてはその構造が維持される強度も必要であることから、担体として用いる活性炭は、上記細孔半径と細孔容積との関係を有することが必要である。即ち、細孔半径が10Å未満の細孔容積が0.03cm3/g以上0.8cm3/g以下であり、全細孔容積が1.2cm3/g以上3.0cm3/g以下であり、比表面積が800m2/g以上2,000m2/g未満であることが必要である。
【0018】
本発明者らが検討した結果では、測定装置によって窒素吸着法による細孔容積、BET比表面積の測定結果に差が生じることがある。本発明者らは、島津マイクロメリテックス ASAP−2400((株)島津製作所製)を用いて測定した。細孔容積を計算するためのデータの処理は、BJH法を用いた。なお、本装置によるデータ処理結果として細孔半径5Å〜1500Åのデータが得られるが、一般的に知られているように窒素吸着法によって測定される細孔半径は、約8Å〜500Å程度であり、本発明で言う細孔半径10Å未満とは実質上約8Å〜10Å未満の細孔半径を言うものであり、全細孔容積とは、実質上約8Å〜500Å程度の細孔半径の細孔容積を言うものである。
【0019】
このような細孔構造を有する活性炭をジカルボン酸の直接水添の触媒担体に用いることにより特に有効な効果を発揮する原因については明らかではないが、水蒸気賦活炭等のガス賦活炭に比較してトランジショナル孔と呼ばれる細孔半径が10Å以上100Å以下の細孔の細孔容量が大きいために、触媒細孔中でのカルボン酸、水素の拡散がスムーズに進み、特にジカルボン酸を原料とする場合には、ジカルボン酸および中間体のヒドロキシカルボン酸の拡散がスムーズに進み、ジカルボン酸からヒドロキシカルボン酸、さらにジオールへの水添が効率よく進むのではないかと推測している。
【0020】
活性炭にルテニウムと錫を担持する方法、およびルテニウムと錫に加えてレニウム、モリブデン、パラジウム、銀およびニッケルから選ばれる少なくとも一つの金属を担持する方法としては、浸せき法、イオン交換法、含浸法など担持触媒の調製に一般的に用いられている任意の方法を用いることができる。浸せき法によるときは担持する金属成分の原料化合物を水などの溶媒に溶解して金属化合物の溶液を調製し、この溶液に活性炭を浸せきして担体に担持させる。担体に各金属成分を担持させる順序については特に制限はなく、全ての金属を同時に担持しても、各成分を個別に担持してもよい。
【0021】
触媒調製に用いる金属成分の原料化合物としては、触媒の調製法にもよるが通常は硝酸塩、硫酸塩、塩酸塩などの鉱酸塩、酢酸塩などの有機酸塩、水酸化物、酸化物、有機金属化合物などを用いることができる。その中でも水溶性の原料化合物が好ましい。具体的にはルテニウムの原料化合物としては、塩化ルテニウム、硝酸ルテニウム、ルテニウムアセチルアセトナート、ルテニウムカルボニル等であり、錫の原料化合物としては塩化錫(II)、錫酸ナトリウム、酢酸錫(II)等であり、レニウムの原料化合物としては、七酸化二レニウム(VII)、過レニウム酸水溶液などであり、モリブデンの原料化合物としては、七モリブデン酸六アンモニウム四水和物、塩化モリブデン(II)、五塩化オキソモリブデン(V)酸アンモニウムなどであり、パラジウムの原料化合物としては、塩化パラジウム(II)二水和物、硝酸パラジウム(II)、硫酸パラジウム(II)二水和物などであり、銀の原料化合物としては、硝酸銀、過塩素酸銀などであり、ニッケルの原料化合物としては、塩化ニッケル(II)六水和物、硫酸ニッケル(II)、硝酸ニッケル(II)六水和物などである。中でも好ましい原料化合物は、塩化ルテニウム、塩化錫、酢酸錫、過レニウム酸水溶液、七モリブデン酸六アンモニウム四水和物、硝酸パラジウム、塩化ニッケル(II)六水和物等である。
【0022】
金属成分を担持した活性炭は乾燥し、次いで所望により焼成した後に還元して触媒とする。乾燥は通常100℃未満の温度で、減圧下に保持するか、又は窒素、空気などの乾燥気体を流通させて行う。また焼成は通常100〜600℃の温度で窒素、空気などを流通させながら行う。還元は液相還元又は気相還元のいずれで行ってもよい。気相還元に用いる還元ガスとしては、水素、ヒドラジン蒸気、ホルマリン、一酸化炭素等を用いることができる。温度としては、150℃〜500℃の温度が好ましい。
【0023】
上記焼成した触媒を容器に仕込み、所望の温度に昇温した後に還元ガスを充填することにより還元を行うことができる。所望に応じてこの還元操作を繰り返してもよい。また、容器に還元ガスを流通させて還元操作を行ってもよい。液相還元に用いる還元剤としては、上記気相還元に用いる還元剤の他に水素化硼素ナトリウム、水素化リチウムアルミニウム、ジエチル亜鉛等の還元剤を用いることができる。上記、金属成分を担持した活性炭を水および/またはアルコールなどの溶媒中に懸濁させ、室温から250℃の温度で常圧から20MPaの圧力下、上記した還元剤を用いて還元することにより行うことができる。
【0024】
本発明の触媒において、ルテニウムと錫の担持量は、担体に対してそれぞれ金属として0.5〜50重量%、好ましくは1〜10重量%である。ルテニウム、錫の比率は金属として元素比でルテニウム:錫が1:0.1〜1:2が好ましく、さらに好ましくは1:0.2〜1:1.3である。本発明ではルテニウムと錫に加えてレニウム、モリブデン、パラジウム、銀およびニッケルから選ばれる少なくとも一つの金属を担持することが好ましい。この中でもレニウム、モリブデンがより好ましく、特にレニウムが好ましい。レニウム、モリブデン、パラジウム、銀、ニッケルの担持量は、金属として元素比でルテニウムに対して各々0.1〜5が好ましく、さらに好ましくは各々0.2〜2の範囲である。
【0025】

【0027】
【化3】
【0028】
(式中、R1、R2はそれぞれ独立に炭素数が2〜20である二価の炭化水素基を表す。)
なお、不飽和のカルボン酸および不飽和カルボン酸無水物を原料に用いた場合には、本発明の触媒を用いた水添反応によって飽和のアルコール類が得られ、また芳香族カルボン酸および芳香族カルボン酸無水物を原料に用いた場合には、脂環式アルコール類が得られる。
【0029】
さらに、原料は、複数のカルボン酸の混合物であっても、複数のカルボン酸無水物の混合物であっても、カルボン酸とカルボン酸無水物の混合物であっても何ら問題ない。好ましいジカルボン酸の混合物としては、コハク酸、グルタル酸、アジピン酸を含有する混合物である。
また、シクロヘキサノンおよび/又はシクロヘキサノールを酸化してアジピン酸を製造する際に副生するジカルボン酸類にはコハク酸、グルタル酸、アジピン酸が含まれており、本発明の特に好適な原料である。このジカルボン酸を原料として有用な化合物を得ることができれば、アジピン酸製造に際して発生する廃棄物の量を減らすことができること、またこの副生物はコハク酸、グルタル酸、アジピン酸が含まれていることから1,4−ブタンジオール、1,5−ペンタンジオール、1,6−ヘキサンジオールという工業的に有用なジオール類をも併産することができ、本発明による触媒の特徴であるカルボン酸原料の種類を問わず、高収率でアルコール類を得ることができるという点を発揮するに最適の原料であることから特に好ましい。
【0030】
本発明において特に好ましく用いられる、シクロヘキサノンおよび/又はシクロヘキサノールを硝酸酸化してアジピン酸を製造する際に副生するジカルボン酸混合物とは、アジピン酸を晶析分離したろ液である。本発明ではそのろ液をそのまま用いても良いが、触媒の水添活性が減じる時には硝酸酸化触媒の脱触媒、脱硝酸などの工程を経たものを用いることが好ましい。
本発明では上記のルテニウムと錫、好ましくはルテニウムと錫に加えてレニウム、モリブデン、パラジウム、銀、ニッケルから選ばれる少なくとも一つの金属を、前述の活性炭に担持した触媒を用い、水の存在下にカルボン酸および/又はカルボン酸無水物の水添反応を行う。
【0031】
該水添反応における水の量は、カルボン酸および/又はカルボン酸無水物に対して0.5〜100重量倍である。さらに好ましくは1〜20重量倍である。水添反応の温度においてカルボン酸および/又はカルボン酸無水物の全量が溶解する水量が好ましい。水添反応の温度は、100〜300℃が好ましく、さらに好ましくは130〜250℃である。水素圧は1〜25MPa、さらに好ましくは5〜20MPaである。
【0032】
水添反応は連続、回分のいずれで行ってもよい、また反応型式としては液相懸濁反応、固定床流通反応のいずれも用いることができる。
本発明において、原料にシクロヘキサノンおよび/又はシクロヘキサノールを硝酸酸化してアジピン酸を製造する際に副生するジカルボン酸混合物を用いた場合には水添生成物として1,4−ブタンジオール、1,5−ペンタンジオール、1,6−ヘキサンジオールの混合物が得られるが、これらのジオールは必要に応じて通常の精製方法、例えば蒸留分離によって精製することができる。
【0033】

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a catalyst for directly hydrogenating with hydrogen in the presence of water to obtain alcohols without using an esterification step from carboxylic acids as a raw material, and a method for producing alcohols from carboxylic acids using the catalyst It is about.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Alcohols are useful substances that are widely used in various industrial fields. In particular, diols are useful as raw materials for polyester resins, urethane foam, urethane paints, and adhesives. As a method for producing, for example, 1,4-butanediol as one kind of such diols, many methods for producing hydrogenated succinic acid or maleic acid have been reported. As the most well-known method, there is a method in which an ester of succinic acid or maleic acid is hydrogenated at a high temperature and a high pressure using a copper catalyst. However, this method has a problem that the carboxylic acid cannot be directly hydrogenated, and the carboxylic acid must be once converted to an ester and then hydrogenated, resulting in a long production process.
[0003]
On the other hand, several methods for producing 1,4-butanediol by directly hydrogenating succinic acid or maleic acid have been proposed. When only the catalyst system is listed, a catalyst comprising ruthenium-iron oxide (US Pat. No. 4,827,001), a catalyst having ruthenium-tin supported on porous carbon having a BET surface area of 2000 m 2 / g or more (special Kaihei No. 5-246915), a catalyst in which ruthenium and tin are supported on silica modified with titanium and / or alumina (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-116182), ruthenium and tin, and an alkali metal compound or alkaline earth metal Catalyst (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-239778), a catalyst having at least one selected from ruthenium, platinum and rhodium and tin supported on a carrier (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-165644), ruthenium and tin Using the catalyst supported on the catalyst, the excess hydrogen is circulated in the reaction system, and the reaction is carried out while removing the entrained products out of the system. And a solution containing a supported component in which a carbonyl compound having 5 or less carbon atoms coexists, a catalyst having ruthenium-tin-platinum supported on a carrier (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-59190), A catalyst in which ruthenium-tin-platinum prepared by impregnation into activated carbon is supported on activated carbon (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-15388), a catalyst in which ruthenium-tin-platinum is supported on activated carbon previously contacted with nitric acid (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-71332) However, in any of the methods using a catalyst, the selectivity for hydrogenated products 1.4-butanediol, tetrahydrofuran, and γ-butyrolactone is not sufficient, and 1,4-butane The yield of diol was unsatisfactory.
[0004]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-82190 proposes a method of hydrogenation using a catalyst composed of palladium and a rhenium compound and a tertiary alcohol as a solvent, but the reaction rate is still insufficient.
As described above, in the prior art, examples of direct hydrogenation using a catalyst using activated carbon as a carrier have been disclosed, and some studies have been made on the specific surface area and pretreatment method of activated carbon.
[0005]
As a general method for producing activated carbon, it undergoes a raw carbonaceous pyrolysis process called an activation process. As an activation method, a gas activation method using various oxidizing gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, air, etc.) Chemical activation methods using salts and acids (calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, zinc chloride, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, caustic soda, caustic potassium and other alkalis) are known. Currently, the gas activation method is widely and most widely adopted worldwide including the United States, and occupies the mainstream of activated carbon production. The chemical activation method is currently produced only for special applications.
[0006]
Due to such a difference in activation method, activated carbon having different pore distributions as physical properties of the activated carbon can be obtained. For example, zinc chloride activated powder charcoal develops pores having a pore radius of 10 to 100 mm called transitional pores, and the pore volume is specifically large. The use of such activated carbon as a support for a direct hydrogenation catalyst of dicarboxylic acid has nothing to be described in the above prior art.
In addition, US Pat. No. 5,698,749 discloses a relatively high yield of 1,4-butanediol from maleic acid using a catalyst supported on activated carbon that has been previously oxidized with palladium-silver-rhenium by nitric acid oxidation. Although it is stated that it can be obtained, nothing is described about the results of the hydroreduction reaction of glutaric acid or adipic acid.
[0007]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-60523 describes that 1,6-hexanediol can be obtained from adipic acid in a high yield using a catalyst in which ruthenium-tin-platinum is supported on activated carbon that has been previously acid-treated. As described in JP-A-10-71332, it is difficult to selectively obtain 1,4-butanediol in high yield from succinic acid or maleic acid using this catalyst.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention provides a catalyst capable of obtaining alcohols in a high yield regardless of the type of carboxylic acid, and direct water of carboxylic acid using the catalyst. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing alcohol by addition. In particular, an object of the present invention is to provide a catalyst capable of obtaining a diol in a high yield even when any of succinic acid, glutaric acid, and adipic acid is used as a raw material, and a direct hydrogenation method.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies by the present inventors to solve the above-mentioned problems, activated carbon produced by activating zinc chloride and using activated carbon having a large pore volume with a pore radius of 10 to 100 mm and having a large pore volume is used as a carrier. The catalyst supporting ruthenium and tin is surprisingly a catalyst capable of obtaining alcohols in a high yield regardless of the type of carboxylic acid used as a raw material, regardless of the carboxylic acid used as the raw material. The present invention has been found and has been accomplished.

It is.
[0013]
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The hydrogenation catalyst of the present invention is obtained by supporting ruthenium and tin on activated carbon produced by a specific production method, preferably at least selected from rhenium, molybdenum, palladium, silver and nickel in addition to ruthenium and tin. It is prepared by supporting one kind of metal. Among these, rhenium and molybdenum are more preferable, and rhenium is particularly preferable.
[0014]
The activated carbon used in the present invention is zinc chloride activated charcoal. A known method may be used as a method for producing zinc chloride activated charcoal, and details thereof are described, for example, as described in “Activated carbon reader second edition” (by Hiroshi Yanai, Nobuo Ishizaki, Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun). It is activated carbon produced by a production method including a step of using a sawdust, low ash peat, straw, straw, nuts, and kala as a raw material, and impregnating a concentrated solution of zinc chloride, followed by firing. The activated carbon may be treated with hot water or the like before carrying a metal such as ruthenium and tin in order to remove impurities.
[0015]
This zinc chloride activated charcoal is characterized by the development of pores having a pore radius of 10 to 100 cm, called transitional pores, and the pore volume being specifically large. The relationship between the pore radius and the pore volume in this zinc chloride activated charcoal is 0.03 cm 3 when the pore volume and the BET specific surface area are measured by the nitrogen gas adsorption method. / G or more and 0.8 cm 3 / g or less, a pore volume of 10 to 100 cm and a pore volume of 0.5 cm 3 / g to 2.0 cm 3 / g and a total pore volume of 1. 2 cm 3 / g or more and 3.0 cm 3 / g or less, and the specific surface area is 800 m 2 / g or more and less than 2000 m 2 / g. More preferably, the pore volume of less than the pore radius 10Å is less 0.04 cm 3 / g or more 0.7 cm 3 / g, 100 Å or less of pore volume over a pore radius 10Å is 0.7 cm 3 / g or more It is 1.8 cm 3 / g or less, the total pore volume is 1.4 cm 3 / g or more and 2.7 cm 3 / g or less, and the specific surface area is 1000 m 2 / g or more and 1800 m 2 / g or less.
[0016]
The pore volume of general steam activated charcoal is referred to as a traditional pore, and the pore volume with a pore radius of 10 to 100 cm is 0.02 cm 3 / g to 0.4 cm 3 / g. In order to obtain a catalyst for obtaining an alcohol in a high yield regardless of the type of carboxylic acid, which is the object of the invention, it is necessary to use activated carbon having a large pore volume of the traditional pores as a support. That is, it is necessary to use activated carbon having a pore radius of 10 cm to 100 cm and a pore volume of 0.5 cm 3 / g to 2.0 cm 3 / g.
[0017]
On the other hand, since the strength of maintaining the structure of the catalyst support is also necessary, the activated carbon used as the support needs to have a relationship between the pore radius and the pore volume. That is, the pore volume pore radius is less than 10Å is less 0.03 cm 3 / g or more 0.8 cm 3 / g, total pore volume 1.2 cm 3 / g or more 3.0 cm 3 / g or less And the specific surface area must be 800 m 2 / g or more and less than 2,000 m 2 / g.
[0018]
As a result of investigations by the present inventors, there may be a difference in the measurement results of the pore volume and the BET specific surface area by the nitrogen adsorption method depending on the measuring device. The inventors measured using Shimadzu Micromeritex ASAP-2400 (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation). The data processing for calculating the pore volume was performed using the BJH method. As a result of data processing by this apparatus, data with a pore radius of 5 mm to 1500 mm is obtained. As is generally known, the pore radius measured by the nitrogen adsorption method is about 8 mm to 500 mm. In the present invention, a pore radius of less than 10 mm means a pore radius of about 8 mm to less than 10 mm, and a total pore volume means a pore having a pore radius of about 8 mm to 500 mm. It is a volume.
[0019]
It is not clear why the activated carbon having such a pore structure exhibits a particularly effective effect by using it as a catalyst for direct hydrogenation of dicarboxylic acid, but compared with gas activated charcoal such as steam activated charcoal. When the pore radius of the pores called transitional pores with a radius of 10 to 100 mm is large, the diffusion of carboxylic acid and hydrogen in the catalyst pores proceeds smoothly, especially when dicarboxylic acid is used as a raw material It is speculated that the diffusion of dicarboxylic acid and intermediate hydroxycarboxylic acid proceeds smoothly, and hydrogenation from dicarboxylic acid to hydroxycarboxylic acid and further to diol proceeds efficiently.
[0020]
As a method of supporting ruthenium and tin on activated carbon, and a method of supporting at least one metal selected from rhenium, molybdenum, palladium, silver and nickel in addition to ruthenium and tin, an immersion method, an ion exchange method, an impregnation method, etc. Any method commonly used for the preparation of supported catalysts can be used. When the immersion method is used, a metal compound raw material compound to be supported is dissolved in a solvent such as water to prepare a metal compound solution, and activated carbon is immersed in this solution and supported on a carrier. There is no particular limitation on the order in which each metal component is supported on the carrier, and all the metals may be supported simultaneously or each component may be individually supported.

Specifically, ruthenium raw material compounds are ruthenium chloride, ruthenium nitrate, ruthenium acetylacetonate, ruthenium carbonyl, etc., and tin raw material compounds are tin (II) chloride, sodium stannate, tin acetate (II), etc. Examples of rhenium raw material compounds include dirhenium heptoxide (VII) and perrhenic acid aqueous solution, and examples of molybdenum raw material compounds include hexaammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate, molybdenum (II) chloride, five Examples thereof include ammonium oxomolybdenum (V) chloride, and palladium source compounds such as palladium (II) chloride dihydrate, palladium (II) nitrate, palladium (II) sulfate dihydrate, and the like.

[0022]
The activated carbon carrying the metal component is dried, then calcined as desired, and then reduced to a catalyst. Drying is usually performed at a temperature of less than 100 ° C. under reduced pressure or by passing a dry gas such as nitrogen or air. Firing is usually performed at a temperature of 100 to 600 ° C. while circulating nitrogen, air, or the like. The reduction may be performed by either liquid phase reduction or gas phase reduction.
