Nonmetal catalyst for preparing phenol by directly oxidizing benzene, preparation method and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of novel catalyst preparation and energy chemical industry, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a nonmetal catalyst for preparing phenol by directly oxidizing benzene.
Background
Phenol is an important chemical intermediate and bulk basic raw material for petrochemical industry. At present, the industrial production method of phenol is mainly an isopropyl benzene method, and has the defects of long reaction process, low atom utilization rate and low total yield (< 5%). Therefore, in recent years, various countries around the world have been devoted to research on a green process for producing phenol, in which direct oxidation of benzene to produce phenol is receiving wide attention as a new economical green process for producing phenol. The oxygen as a green oxidant has the advantages of wide source, low price and the like, and the oxidation product is water, so that a byproduct polluting the environment is not generated. Therefore, the method for preparing phenol by directly oxidizing benzene by using oxygen as an oxidant has important theoretical and practical application significance.
Catalysts generally used in the reaction of benzene oxidation to produce phenol are transition metal-containing catalysts. In patent CN102921419A, supported catalyst containing copper is used for catalyzing benzene oxidation to prepare phenol; in patent CN102228833A, a porous material containing cobalt is used as a catalyst to catalyze benzene oxidation to prepare phenol; in patent CN104926614A, a metal organic framework compound HKUST-1 containing copper is used as a catalyst to catalyze benzene for oxidation to prepare phenol; the literature reports that catalysts containing transition metals such as vanadium, iron, palladium and the like catalyze the oxygen oxidation of benzene to produce phenol [ (a) Wang WT, Li N, Tang H, et al Molecular catalysis, 2018,453,113-120; (b) Qin Q, Liu YQ, Shann WJ, et al Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2017, 56 (43), 12289-12296; Shang SS, Yang H, Li J, et al Chemplus 2014, 79 (5), 680-683 ]. The reaction for oxidizing benzene with oxygen to produce phenol is generally carried out in an acidic reaction solvent. The metal catalyst is easy to have active center loss in an acid solvent, so that the problems of reduction of catalytic activity, pollution caused by heavy metal ions and the like are caused, the stability of the catalyst is difficult to ensure, the production cost of phenol is increased, and people pay attention to the economy and environmental protection. Therefore, the nonmetal catalyst is promoted to be developed and applied to the research of green phenol preparation. So far, no literature is reported on the preparation of a nonmetal catalyst by using p-benzoquinone and diamine and the preparation of phenol by using the nonmetal catalyst as a catalyst to catalyze the oxygen oxidation of benzene.
