Background technology
Minimize for catalyst residualinternal stress of himself in preparation and use is reached, catalyst must be shaped to the particle of definite shape and size in the preparation, and this molding procedure is a committed step in the catalyst commercial production.Existing shaping of catalyst method kind is a lot; Common have (Ruthven D M. such as compression forming method, extruded moulding method, rotational forming method, spray shaping method, the honeycomb type method of forming; Etc.J.Wiley-Interscience; New York; 1984), said method has different features and purposes separately.
In the shaping of catalyst process, introducing proper additive is the effective way that reduces residualinternal stress in the catalyst, thereby in recent years the relation between the variation of the character that adds additive in the forming process, condition of molding and catalyst mechanical strength, the pore structure is received people's attention day by day.Jiratov has proposed the function that in the forming process peptization property of peptizing agent is the acid factor of Hammett, finds that simultaneously the Aci-Jel solvent can obviously improve catalyst strength, improves pore structure.Existing result of study shows; The binder component medium viscosity is bigger with sesbania powder concentration change; Add the sesbania powder in the forming process and help moulding (Li Y Y.; Etc.J.Powder Technology.2001 (116): 85~96), but so far the relation of condition of molding and catalyst chemical performance impact is not seen play-by-play as yet.
Glycol ether is the important derivatives of oxirane, because of its molecule contains ether and hydroxyl, with its excellent performance, is widely used as solvent, jet fuel anti-freezing agent, brake-fluid, chemical intermediate.Gylcol ether mainly comprises ethylene glycol first (second, fourth) ether, diethylene glycol first (second, fourth) ether and triethylene glycol first (second, fourth) ether etc.There is gylcol ether more than 50% to be used as the solvent of various industrial process, wherein having the call approximately with butyl glycol ether and acetate thereof.
In the series of products of glycol ether, EGME is surface of good paint solvent and military jet fuel freezing point depressant; Ethylene glycol ethyl ether and acetate thereof also can be made the cleaning agent of metal and glass mainly as the industrial solvent of protective coating, dyestuff, resin, leather etc.; Butyl glycol ether and acetate thereof have good dispersiveness in water, be widely used in the water based paint.In addition, gylcol ether can also be used for many fields such as cosmetics industry, perfume industry, medical industry, oil field chemical.Each application has proposed more and more higher requirement to the character and the application performance of glycol ether series of products; Know at present; Influencing the molecular weight of product topmost factor that distributes is the structure of start material and the character of catalyst; Thereby after the kind of having confirmed start material, the key factor that the character of catalyst has just become the decision molecular weight of product to distribute.The Al-MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieve catalyst can improve the character and the application performance of glycol ether series of products through the glycol ether molecular weight distribution that narrows.
