本発明の触媒の再生方法において再生させる水素化反応用触媒は、多価アルコールと水素とを反応させて上記多価アルコールの水素化物を製造する際に用いられた、被毒物質により被毒された水素化反応用触媒である。上記水素化反応用触媒としては、上述の多価アルコールと水素との反応(水素化反応)に使用可能な公知乃至慣用の水素化反応用触媒が挙げられ、特に限定されないが、例えば、コバルト、ニッケル、銅、亜鉛、ルテニウム、ロジウム、パラジウム、イリジウム、及び白金からなる群より選択される少なくとも一種の金属(「金属(1)」と称する場合がある)、並びに、モリブデン、タングステン、及びレニウムからなる群より選択される少なくとも一種の金属(「金属(2)」と称する場合がある)のいずれか一方又は両方を含む固体触媒などが挙げられる。上記固体触媒においては、通常、上記金属(1)が水素を活性化させる機能を発揮し、上記金属(2)が基質(多価アルコール)を活性化させる機能を発揮する。このような観点から、上記固体触媒としては、特に、金属(1)及び金属(2)を含む固体触媒が好ましい。
上述のように、本発明の触媒の再生方法においては、使用後の水素化反応用触媒を、再生処理(1)及び再生処理(2)のいずれか一方又は両方の再生処理に付す。上記再生処理は、例えば、反応器中で多価アルコールと水素とを反応させた後、水素化反応用触媒(使用後)以外の成分(多価アルコール、多価アルコールの水素化物、溶剤等)を反応器から取り出した上で、この反応器内で実施することが、煩雑な工程の増加を防ぐ点で好ましいが、特に限定されない、
再生処理(1)は、上述のように、水素化反応用触媒を水及び有機溶剤のいずれか一方又は両方(以下、「洗浄液」と総称する場合がある)により洗浄する処理である。上記有機溶剤(有機溶媒)としては、公知乃至慣用の有機溶剤を使用することができ、特に限定されないが、例えば、ベンゼン、トルエン、キシレン、エチルベンゼン等の芳香族炭化水素;ジエチルエーテル、ジメトキシエタン、テトラヒドロフラン、ジオキサン等のエーテル;アセトン、メチルエチルケトン、メチルイソブチルケトン等のケトン;酢酸メチル、酢酸エチル、酢酸イソプロピル、酢酸ブチル等のエステル;N,N-ジメチルホルムアミド、N,N-ジメチルアセトアミド等のアミド;アセトニトリル、プロピオニトリル、ベンゾニトリル等のニトリル;メタノール、エタノール、イソプロピルアルコール(イソプロパノール)、ブタノール等のアルコール等が挙げられる。中でも、上記有機溶剤としては、アルコールが好ましい。なお、上記洗浄液としては、水及び有機溶剤のいずれか一方のみを使用することもできるし、両方を使用することもできる。また、水と有機溶剤の両方を使用する場合には、両者を混合した混合溶液の形態で使用することもできるし、両者を別々に使用することもできる。また、有機溶剤は、一種を単独で使用することもできるし、二種以上を組み合わせて使用することもできる。

本発明の多価アルコールの水素化物の製造方法は、上述の本発明の触媒の再生方法により水素化反応用触媒を再生し、再生後の水素化反応用触媒(特に、本発明の触媒)の存在下、多価アルコールと水素とを反応させて多価アルコールの水素化物を生成させることを特徴とする。即ち、本発明の多価アルコールの水素化物の製造方法は、触媒を再生させる工程(以下、「再生工程」と称する場合がある)と、多価アルコール及び水素を反応させる工程(以下、「反応工程」と称する場合がある)とを、必須の工程として含む方法である。このうち、水素化反応用触媒を再生させる工程(再生工程)は、上述の<水素化反応用触媒の再生方法>の項で説明した方法に従って実施できる。以下、多価アルコールと水素とを反応させる工程(反応工程)について説明する。
本発明の多価アルコールの水素化物の製造方法における上記反応工程で使用される水素化反応用触媒は、上記再生工程にて再生された水素化反応用触媒(特に、本発明の触媒)である。多価アルコールと水素との反応を行う前には、必要に応じて水素化反応用触媒の還元処理を行ってもよい。水素化反応用触媒の還元処理は、公知乃至慣用の方法によって実施することができ、特に限定されないが、例えば、水素等の還元性ガス雰囲気下で加熱する方法等が挙げられる。還元処理の加熱温度、加熱時間、圧力等の条件は、適宜選択可能であり、特に限定されない。
本発明の多価アルコールの水素化物の製造方法の反応工程において原料(反応物)として使用される多価アルコールとしては、分子内に2個以上の水酸基を有する公知乃至慣用の有機化合物を使用することができ、特に限定されないが、例えば、エチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、トリエチレングリコール、ポリエチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、ジプロピレングリコール、1,3-ブタンジオール、1,4-ブタンジオール、ペンタンジオール、1,6-ヘキサンジオール、ネオペンチルグリコール、シクロヘキサンジメタノール、グリセリン、ジグリセリン、ポリグリセリン、トリメチロールプロパン、エリスリトール、ペンタエリスリトール、ジペンタエリスリトール、水添ビスフェノールA、水添ビスフェノールF、水添ビスフェノールS、糖アルコール等が挙げられる。中でも、上記多価アルコールとしては、炭素数3~6の多価アルコール(特に、分子内に水酸基を3~6個有する炭素数3~6の多価アルコール)が好ましく、特に、バイオマスからの誘導が可能である観点で、グリセリン、エリスリトールが好ましい。
多価アルコールと水素との反応により得られる多価アルコールの水素化物とは、多価アルコールが有する水酸基の少なくとも1個が水素原子で置換された化合物である。例えば、多価アルコールとしてグリセリン(グリセロール)を使用した場合には、その水素化物として、炭素数3の一価のアルコール(プロパノール;1-プロパノール、2-プロパノール)及び炭素数3の二価のアルコール(プロパンジオール;1,3-プロパンジオール、1,2-プロパンジオール)などが挙げられる。特に、本発明の触媒を使用することにより、プロパンジオール(中でも、ポリウレタンやポリエステル等の原料として使用される1,3-プロパンジオール)を高選択率で生成させることができる傾向がある。一方、例えば、多価アルコールとしてエリスリトールを使用することにより、その水素化物として、炭素数4の一価のアルコール(ブタノール;1-ブタノール、2-ブタノール)、炭素数4の二価のアルコール(ブタンジオール;1,4-ブタンジオール、1,3-ブタンジオール、1,2-ブタンジオール、2,3-ブタンジオール)、及び炭素数4の三価のアルコール(ブタントリオール;例えば、1,2,4-ブタントリオール、1,2,3-ブタントリオール)などが挙げられる。特に、本発明の触媒を使用した場合には、ブタンジオール(例えば、溶剤、不凍液、医薬、燃料等又はこれらの原料として使用される)、及びブタントリオール(例えば、医薬、火薬等又はこれらの原料として使用される)を高選択率で生成させることができる傾向がある。なお、本明細書においては、通常、「多価アルコールの水素化物」といった場合には、多価アルコールの炭素-炭素結合が開裂することで生成する、多価アルコールの炭素数よりも少ない炭素数の化合物は含まれない。
本発明の多価アルコールの水素化物の製造方法の反応工程において使用される水素(水素ガス)は、実質的に水素のみの状態で使用することもできるし、窒素、アルゴン、ヘリウム等の不活性ガス等により希釈した状態で使用することもできる。また、上記反応(多価アルコールと水素との反応)を経た結果得られる反応混合物から回収した水素(未反応の水素)を再利用することもできる。
本発明の多価アルコールの水素化物の製造方法における多価アルコールと水素との反応は、固体である再生処理後の水素化反応用触媒(特に、本発明の触媒)の存在下、気体状の(気化させた)多価アルコールと水素とを反応させる気固二相系の反応であってもよいし、固体である再生処理後の水素化反応用触媒(特に、本発明の触媒)の存在下、液状の多価アルコールと水素とを反応させる気液固三相系の反応であってもよい。特に、多価アルコールが有する炭素-炭素結合の開裂による副生成物の生成を抑制する観点からは、上記反応を気液固三相系で進行させることが好ましい。
[Ir-Re触媒の調製]
二酸化ケイ素(SiO2)(商品名「キャリアクトQ-15」、富士シリシア化学(株)製、細孔径:15nm)を触媒の担体として使用した。上記担体に、イリジウム(Ir)濃度が4.47重量%となるように調製した塩化イリジウム酸(H2IrCl6)水溶液を滴下して、上記担体全体を湿潤させた後、該担体を110℃で3時間乾燥させた。そして、このような塩化イリジウム酸水溶液の滴下と乾燥を繰り返して、イリジウムがSiO2に対して4重量%となるように担持させた。
次に、上記担体(イリジウムを担持させた担体)に、レニウム(Re)濃度が3重量%となるように調製した過レニウム酸アンモニウム(NH4ReO4)水溶液の滴下と乾燥を、先の塩化イリジウム酸水溶液の滴下と乾燥と同様に繰り返して、イリジウムとレニウムのモル比が1/2[イリジウム/レニウム]となるようにレニウムを担持させた。その後、乾燥後の担体を、空気雰囲気下(大気中)、500℃、3時間の条件で焼成して、Ir-Re触媒[Ir-ReOX/SiO2]を調製した。
オートクレーブ(反応器)に、製造例1で得たIr-Re触媒14.5gと、硫黄を元素重量ベースで6.4ppm含有するグリセリン水溶液(グリセリン濃度:80重量%)500gを仕込み、温度120℃、水素圧力12MPaで6時間攪拌し、グリセリンの水素化反応を行った。その後、反応器からグリセリン及びグリセリンの水素化物を含む水溶液を全量抜き取った(使用後のIr-Re触媒は反応器の中である)。次いで、超純水500g(硫黄含有量0.012ppm)を反応器に入れ、常温で10分間攪拌した。洗浄後の水を反応器から取り出し、該水における硫黄含有量を測定すると0.072ppmであり、洗浄前に比べて増加していた。次に、再度超純水(硫黄含有量0.012ppm)500gを反応器に入れ、窒素で加圧しながら120℃で60分間攪拌した。その後、洗浄後の水を反応器から取り出し、該水における硫黄含有量を測定すると0.391ppmであり、常温で洗浄した場合と比べて、さらに硫黄除去量が増加していた。このように、水を使用した洗浄により使用後のIr-Re触媒に吸着された硫黄量が低減可能であることが示唆された。
オートクレーブ(反応器)に、製造例1で得たIr-Re触媒14.5gと、硫黄を元素重量ベースで0.8ppm含有するグリセリン水溶液(グリセリン濃度:80重量%)500gを仕込み、温度120℃、水素圧力12MPaで6時間攪拌し、グリセリンの水素化反応(1回目の水素化反応)を行った。その後、反応器からグリセリン及びグリセリンの水素化物を含む水溶液を全量抜き取った(使用後のIr-Re触媒は反応器の中である)。次いで、硫黄含有量が0.08ppm以下のグリセリン水溶液(グリセリン濃度:80重量%)500gを仕込み、温度120℃、水素圧力12MPaで6時間攪拌し、グリセリンの水素化反応(2回目の水素化反応)を行った。1回目の水素化反応におけるグリセリンの反応率(転化率)と2回目の水素化反応におけるグリセリンの反応率(転化率)とから、1回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を100%とした場合の2回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を算出した結果、2回目の水素化反応では約51%にまで触媒活性が低下していた。
2回目の水素化反応後のIr-Re触媒を超純水により洗浄する再生処理を行った。具体的には、反応器からIr-Re触媒以外を抜き取った後、反応器に500gの洗浄水(超純水)を入れて常温で10分間攪拌し、次いで、水の全量を抜き取る操作を2回行い、続いて、反応器に500gの洗浄水(超純水)を入れて200℃で60分間攪拌し、次いで、水の全量を抜き取る操作を3回行った。
その後、再生(洗浄)後のIr-Re触媒が入った反応器に、硫黄含有量が0.08ppm以下のグリセリン水溶液(グリセリン濃度:80重量%)500gを仕込み、温度120℃、水素圧力12MPaで6時間攪拌し、グリセリンの水素化反応(3回目の水素化反応)を行った。3回目の水素化反応におけるグリセリンの反応率(転化率)から、3回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を算出したところ、1回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を100%とした場合の3回目の水素化反応における触媒活性は69%にまで回復していた。
実施例2と同様にして、1回目の水素化反応及び2回目の水素化反応を行った後、洗浄液として水の代わりにイソプロピルアルコール(IPA)を使用したこと以外は実施例2と同様にして触媒の再生処理を行った。
その後、再生(洗浄)後のIr-Re触媒が入った反応器に、硫黄含有量が0.08ppm以下のグリセリン水溶液(グリセリン濃度:80重量%)500gを仕込み、温度120℃、水素圧力12MPaで6時間攪拌し、グリセリンの水素化反応(3回目の水素化反応)を行った。3回目の水素化反応におけるグリセリンの反応率(転化率)から、3回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を算出したところ、1回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を100%とした場合の3回目の水素化反応における触媒活性は85%にまで回復していた。
イソプロピルアルコールを使用した200℃での洗浄処理の温度を50℃に変更したこと以外は実施例3と同様の操作を行った。
3回目の水素化反応におけるグリセリンの反応率(転化率)から、3回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を算出したところ、1回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を100%とした場合の3回目の水素化反応における触媒活性は100%を超えており、触媒活性は完全に回復していた。
実施例2と同様にして、1回目の水素化反応及び2回目の水素化反応を行った。その後、2回目の水素化反応後のIr-Re触媒に対し、窒素流通下で加熱(乾燥)する再生処理を行った。具体的には、反応器の内温を160℃にして、窒素を毎時160NLの流量で12時間連続して流通させた。
その後、再生(加熱)後のIr-Re触媒が入った反応器に、硫黄含有量が0.08ppm以下のグリセリン水溶液(グリセリン濃度:80重量%)500gを仕込み、温度120℃、水素圧力12MPaで6時間攪拌し、グリセリンの水素化反応(3回目の水素化反応)を行った。3回目の水素化反応におけるグリセリンの反応率(転化率)から、3回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を算出したところ、1回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を100%とした場合の3回目の水素化反応における触媒活性は91%にまで回復していた。
オートクレーブ(反応器)に、製造例1で得たIr-Re触媒14.5gと、硫黄を元素重量ベースで6.4ppm含有するグリセリン水溶液(グリセリン濃度:80重量%)500gを仕込み、温度120℃、水素圧力12MPaで6時間攪拌し、グリセリンの水素化反応(1回目の水素化反応)を行った。その後、反応器からグリセリン及びグリセリンの水素化物を含む水溶液を全量抜き取った(使用後のIr-Re触媒は反応器の中である)。次いで、硫黄含有量が0.08ppm以下のグリセリン水溶液(グリセリン濃度:80重量%)500gを仕込み、温度120℃、水素圧力12MPaで6時間攪拌し、グリセリンの水素化反応(2回目の水素化反応)を行った。1回目の水素化反応におけるグリセリンの反応率(転化率)と2回目の水素化反応におけるグリセリンの反応率(転化率)とから、1回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を100%とした場合の2回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を算出した結果、2回目の水素化反応では約34%にまで触媒活性が低下していた。
2回目の水素化反応後のIr-Re触媒について、超純水による洗浄処理及び空気の流通下での加熱処理を行った。具体的には、反応器に500gの洗浄水(超純水)を入れて常温で10分間攪拌し、水の全量を抜き取る操作を2回行い、続いて、反応器の内温を200℃にして、空気を毎時150NLの流量で24時間連続して流通させた。
その後、再生(洗浄及び加熱)後のIr-Re触媒が入った反応器に、硫黄含有量が0.08ppm以下のグリセリン水溶液(グリセリン濃度:80重量%)500gを仕込み、温度120℃、水素圧力12MPaで6時間攪拌し、グリセリンの水素化反応(3回目の水素化反応)を行った。3回目の水素化反応におけるグリセリンの反応率(転化率)から、3回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を算出したところ、1回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を100%とした場合の3回目の水素化反応における触媒活性は69%にまで回復していた。
実施例6と同様にして、1回目の水素化反応及び2回目の水素化反応を行った。その後、反応器からIr-Re触媒を取り出し、焼成炉に入れて500℃で3時間焼成(再焼成)した。次に、焼成後の触媒を再び反応器に充填し、硫黄含有量が0.08ppm以下のグリセリン水溶液(グリセリン濃度:80重量%)500gを仕込み、温度120℃、水素圧力12MPaで6時間攪拌し、グリセリンの水素化反応(3回目の水素化反応)を行った。3回目の水素化反応におけるグリセリンの反応率(転化率)から、3回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を算出したところ、1回目の水素化反応における触媒活性を100%とした場合の3回目の水素化反応における触媒活性は72%であった。
