Background
The selective hydrogenation of phenol is an important feedstock (cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol) in petroleum industry chemistry for the production of adipic acid, caprolactam, nylon-6, nylon-66 and KA oil. There are two routes for industrial cyclohexanol production, one is oxidation of cyclohexane and the other is hydrogenation of phenol. The oxidation process requires high temperature and pressure, the yield of the product is low, and the recovery step is also complicated. The non-ring-opening hydrogenation reaction way of phenol is generally that (1) phenol is directly hydrogenated to cyclohexanol, and (2) phenol is firstly selectively hydrogenated to cyclohexanone, and then cyclohexanone is further hydrogenated to cyclohexanol. In pathway (2), the formation of cyclohexanone, an intermediate, has some effect on the selectivity of cyclohexanol. Thus, of all the above reactions, the one-step selective hydrogenation of phenol to c=o is most preferred because it shortens the reaction steps and time, improves the efficiency of hydrogen utilization, reduces byproducts, and does not require separation of phenol from other byproducts.
In the catalyst for phenol hydrogenation reaction, besides the metal active component, the carrier is a support for the catalytic active component in the catalyst, which can provide a highly stable support structure, so that the catalyst has good thermal stability and mechanical strength, and therefore, the carrier plays a vital role. Typically, the support material is predominantly Al 2O3,SiO2, MOF, carbon material, or the like.
The preparation process of the common carrier material is relatively complex and has high cost. Literature [Agnieszka Feliczak-Guzik:The effect ofmetal(Nb,Ru,Pd,Pt)supported on SBA-16on the hydrodeoxygenation reaction of phenol,doi:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cattod.2018.06.046] uses a sol-gel method to obtain SBA-16 mesoporous SiO 2 by stirring triblock copolymer Pluronic F127 (Sigma-Aldrich), hydrochloric acid and TEOS (Sigma-Aldrich) of ethylene oxide and structural directing agent propylene oxide for 0.5h and aging for 48h at 90 ℃ and then calcining for 6h at 550 ℃ in air. Then, 3wt.% Pt was supported on the SBA-16 carrier by an impregnation method to obtain an SBA-16/Pt catalyst. Dodecane was used as a solvent for reaction at 130 ℃ and 6MPa for 4 hours to give 2, 4-dimethylhexane with a selectivity of 84.2% at almost 100% phenol conversion. However, SBA-16/Pt catalysts have the problems of complex preparation and higher reaction conditions. Likewise, document [ PeterMortensen:Screening of Catalysts for Hydrodeoxygenation of Phenol as Model Compound for Bio-oil,doi:https://doi.org/10.1021/cs400266e] The Pt/C catalyst synthesized by taking C as a carrier can completely convert phenol hydrogenation reaction into cyclohexanol at 10MPa, 275 ℃ and 5 hours. Therefore, the method has important practical significance in developing and preparing the phenol cyclohexanol catalyst which is simple and easy to prepare, low in cost, short in reaction time, high in selectivity and good in activity.
In the technical field of 'photo' catalysts, a metal catalyst loaded by taking a nitrogen-doped carbon material as a carrier is a good hydrogenation catalyst. The introduction of nitrogen can stabilize metal nano particles, regulate electronic structure and improve electron migration capability, so that the photocatalytic activity is improved. g-C 3N4 is a special carbon-nitrogen material with easy preparation, low cost and unique surface properties such as functional Bronsted acid base sites, which can give the system catalytic activity not present in the original material. The band gap of g-C 3N4 is about 2.7eV, the visible light with the wavelength smaller than 460nm can be absorbed, solar energy is effectively utilized, the high photon-generated carrier separation efficiency is further shown, and the photocatalysis effect is improved. Therefore, people only use the catalyst as a photocatalyst in the fields of photocatalytic water hydrogen production, pollutant catalytic degradation, CO 2 catalytic reforming and the like, and do not use the catalyst as a catalyst carrier for traditional organic catalytic conversion.
In addition, in the organic catalytic conversion reaction, a good carrier needs to have stable chemical properties, uniformly disperse active components, strong interaction with the active components, and the like. The traditional g-C 3N4 is generally of a two-dimensional lamellar graphene structure, and the specific surface area is 10-20cm 2/g. The CN atoms in the structure are hybridized by sp 2 to form a highly delocalized pi conjugated system, so that the surface of the CN atoms is completely exposed with fewer active sites, which is not beneficial to the catalytic hydrogenation reaction.
