Application of high-dispersion noble metal supported catalyst in hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compound
Technical Field
The invention relates to an application of a supported high-dispersion noble metal catalyst in selective hydrogenation reaction of aromatic nitro compounds
Background
The selective hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds to obtain corresponding functionalized aniline compounds has important applications in many aspects, such as in the industries of dyes, pigments, medicines, pesticides, and the like. Currently, there are industrially mature techniques for the hydrogenation of simple aromatic nitro compounds, but selective reduction of nitro groups when the substituent is a reducible group remains a challenging issue. Industrially, for the selective hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds containing reducible groups, it is customary to employ metered amounts of reducing agents, for example Na2S2O4In order to overcome the disadvantage that the reducing agent is a hydrogen gas and PbO or H is used as the reducing agent, researchers have used a hydrogen gas as the reducing agent3PO2Added to the supported Pt catalyst, although the activity is reduced, the selectivity to the target product is improved, but such a catalyst produces phenylhydroxylamine intermediate product, which may be at a very low level at risk of explosion. Researchers find that the intermediate product can be converted into a target product by respectively adding iron salt or alum salt into the catalytic system, but a large amount of transition metal salt remains in the solution after the reaction, and the subsequent treatment process is complex and is not economical and environment-friendly. Therefore, a heterogeneous catalyst with high activity and high selectivity is urgently needed for the reaction.
Many patents and literature describe supported catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds, which vary in activity depending on the support and the method of preparation.
Documents 1(Science,2006,313:332) and 2(Journal of the American Chemical Society,2007,129:16230) were adopted with a deposition-precipitation methodPreparing Au/TiO by a precipitation method2The catalyst is applied to nitrobenzene hydrogenation reaction, and the gold catalyst has excellent aniline selectivity and catalytic activity for nitrobenzene compounds. At the same time, the authors have found that the reason for the high selectivity is that the nitro group of the aromatic nitro compound is preferentially adsorbed on Au and TiO2The interface of the support, and thus the nitro group, is preferentially reduced, exhibiting high selectivity.
Document 3(Advanced Synthesis)&Catalysis,2011,353:1260) prepared a porous ionic copolymer supported Pt catalyst by a one-pot method, the supported amount of Pt was 4.9 wt%, and the size of the obtained Pt nanoparticles was 2-4 nm. Under mild conditions for many substituents (R ═ F, Cl, Br, I, CHO, CN, NH)2、CH3CO, OH, etc.) exhibit high activity and selectivity.
Document 4(ACS Catalysis,2013,3:608) prepares an Rh3Ni1 catalyst by a chemical reduction method, and applies the catalyst to a selective hydrogenation reaction of an aromatic nitro compound, and the result shows that the selective reduction activity of the catalyst is good, and the corresponding amine yield of a plurality of substrates can reach 99%.
Document 5(WO 2009071727) prepared a Pt/TiO2 catalyst by impregnation at 3bar P at 40 ℃H2Under the reaction conditions of (1), when the supported amount is 0.2% in the selective hydrogenation reaction of 3-nitrostyrene, the reaction is carried out for 7 hours to obtain 92% yield and the selectivity is 93.1%.
Reference 6(Journal of Physical Chemistry C,2009,113:17803) prepared Au/Al by colloidal deposition2O3The Au nano-particle size in the catalyst is 2.5 nm. In the hydrogenation reaction of 3-nitrostyrene, the reaction conditions are 120 ℃ and 3MPa H2The pressure and the reaction time are 1h, the conversion rate is 100 percent, and the selectivity of the 3-aminostyrene reaches 99 percent. The authors concluded that the reason for the high activity of the catalyst was the small size of the Au nanoparticles and the supported Al containing acid-base sites2O3And the synergistic effect between the two is that the catalyst shows high activity and selectivity.
