The present invention will be further illustrated with reference to the following specific examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
The catalyst disclosed by the invention is a DBU acidic ionic liquid catalyst system formed by coordination of DBU and 1,3 propane sultone to form cations and Bronsted acid to serve as anions, is stable in property, easy to store and free of pollution, and has higher selectivity and catalytic activity for the reaction.
In the invention, DBU has good catalytic activity for CO 2 reaction, and different Bronsted acid is introduced into anions to enhance the synergistic catalytic effect of anions and cations, the principle is that H on the DBU cations attacks hydroxyl on one side of glycol to form H 2 O and carbocation, and simultaneously, the H on the DBU cations can form N-C bond with C in a carbonyl carbon group of CO 2 to break carbon-oxygen double bond so that carbonyl carbon shows positive electricity, and meanwhile, free Bronsted acid anions abstract hydrogen on glycol hydroxyl to form oxo-anions, and activated glycol attacks positively charged carbonyl carbon and carbonyl oxygen to form ethylene carbonate. Compared with other types of catalysts, the selectivity and the conversion rate of the catalyst system can be effectively improved. Therefore, the invention aims to synthesize the acidic ionic liquid catalyst by acid-base neutralization with Brstoned acid after DBU and 1,3 propane sultone form an intermediate, thereby effectively improving the catalytic activity and the structural stability.
Firstly, DBU and 1,3 propane sultone are prepared into an intermediate, and the influence of different Bronsted acids on the catalytic performance of the catalyst is examined.

The prepared acidic ionic liquid catalyst is used for catalyzing the reaction of ethylene glycol and CO 2 to synthesize ethylene carbonate.
The catalytic experimental conditions were: the catalysts prepared in examples 1-3 were used to catalyze the synthesis of ethylene carbonate from CO 2 and ethylene glycol using a kettle reactor, respectively. The catalyst consumption accounts for 5% of the total mass of the raw materials, 50ml of ethylene glycol is reacted for 12 hours at the temperature of 120 ℃ and the pressure of 3.5 Mpa. And (3) after the reaction is finished, carrying out reduced pressure distillation, wherein residual heavy components are catalysts, measuring the purity of a product by adopting gas chromatography, and finally calculating the conversion rate, selectivity and yield.
The traditional catalysts CeO 2, triethylamine and zinc bromide, DBU and triethylamine are respectively used for catalyzing the reaction of ethylene glycol and CO 2 to synthesize ethylene carbonate, and the catalytic technological conditions and the catalytic process are the same as those described above. The effect of different catalyst types on the catalytic performance was examined and the catalytic results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 influence of catalyst species on catalytic Properties
From the data in Table 1, the effect of the acidic ionic liquid is better than CeO 2, triethylamine, zinc bromide and DBU, the catalytic effect of the sulfuric acid acidified ionic liquid is better than that of the hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid acidified ionic liquid, the glycol conversion rate can reach 18.36%, and the selectivity of ethylene carbonate is as high as 98.36%.

The catalytic results are shown in Table II.
TABLE 2 evaluation of catalytic Properties of different fatty diols

As can be seen from the data in table 3, with increasing catalyst cycle times, both the selectivity and yield of the product decreased because the acidity of the catalyst decreased and the active site providing acidity decreased within a certain time period with increasing catalyst usage, resulting in a decrease in catalytic activity. After five times of recycling, the conversion rate of the ethylene glycol still reaches 16.91 percent, and the selectivity of the ethylene carbonate reaches 96.79 percent.
