Background
The design of a high-efficiency and high-selectivity catalytic process for efficiently converting biomass into fine chemicals and liquid fuels has important scientific significance. A number of researchers have reported that biomass-based cellulose and hemicellulose can be converted to furfural through hydrolysis-isomerization-dehydration processes. Furfuryl alcohol can be synthesized by taking furfural as a raw material and further adopting a catalytic hydrogenation means. Such products are widely used as intermediates in the synthesis of furan-based resins, furan-based fibers, lubricants, pharmaceuticals such as lysine and vitamin C. Therefore, starting from the furfural of a bio-based source, a non-petroleum route of preparing furfuryl alcohol by hydrogenation is selected, and the method has important research background and application prospect.
However, in the reaction for producing furfuryl alcohol by selective hydrogenation of furfural, side reactions such as hydrogenation of furan rings (to give tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol), hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol (to give 2-methylfuran), decarboxylation of furfuryl alcohol (to give furan) are always accompanied, and these significantly affect the selectivity of the reaction. The Cu-Cr system was the first system to be applied to this reaction, however, the high toxicity of Cr causes environmental pollution, which is a serious problem. A range of precious and non-precious metal systems have been developed. The noble metal has too high hydrogenation activity and no strict requirement on reaction conditions, but usually a second component is added to weaken the activity, such as Ir/SiO2And Pt/SiO2After the Re or Ti component is added, the selectivity of the furfuryl alcohol is respectively improved by 30 percent and 80 percent. From the viewpoint of cost and reserves, the cheap metal has the advantages of moderate activity and relatively controllable selectivity. However, due to the moderate activity of inexpensive catalysts, the reaction system is generally required to perform well at high temperature. But furfural furfuryl in high temperature aqueous solutionThe alcohols are very susceptible to polymerization, so these inexpensive metal systems are essentially carried out in organic solvents to avoid polymerization side reactions, and the harsh conditions are accompanied by agglomeration or loss of the inexpensive metal. In contrast, water is a green and environment-friendly solvent, and the problem to be solved is still how to design a high-efficiency and high-stability cheap metal catalyst, and how to synthesize furfuryl alcohol by selective hydrogenation of furfural under the catalysis of a water phase.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme: a preparation method and application of a novel nitrogen-doped hydrothermal carbon-loaded copper metal catalyst are characterized by being prepared by the following steps: step (1): mixing biomass waste corn straws serving as a precursor with ammonium sulfate and ammonium tungstate solution with certain concentration, and placing the mixture in a high-pressure reaction kettle for hydrothermal carbonization treatment at the carbonization temperature of 200-250 ℃ for 0.5-6 h; step (2): centrifuging the solid-phase product after reaction, and drying the solid-phase product in a vacuum drying oven to constant weight; and (3): impregnating the obtained solid product with a copper nitrate solution with a certain concentration, and drying to constant weight; and (4): and placing the solid product in a muffle furnace, and calcining at a high temperature to obtain the nitrogen-doped copper-based catalyst, wherein the calcining temperature is 400-.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the method comprises the steps of co-hydrothermal treatment of waste biomass corn straws and an ammonium sulfate solution to obtain nitrogen-doped hydrothermal carbon rich in acidic active sites, dipping copper metal, and calcining at high temperature to obtain the nitrogen-doped copper-based catalyst.
