专利说明:
four The invention relates to catalysts for the oxidation of olefins in their oxides, in particular for the oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide. A known catalyst for the oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide, containing a water-soluble silver salt in a mixture with one or more water-soluble alkaline earth metal salts with the addition of 0.010.5 molar halide of a mouse. The disadvantage of this catalyst is low activity, the yield of ethylene oxide is 52.6-59, four%. The closest to the present invention is a catalyst for the oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide containing 7.8% silver, 0.00077-0.0023 g-eq / potassium catalyst, 0.00060, 003 g-eq / kg rubidium catalyst and / or 0.00035-0.0019 g-eq / kg of cesium catalyst on a carrier, ot-alumina with a specific surface, measured by the Brunauer, Emmett and Teller method, 0.03-2.2 2. The known catalyst has not enough high selectivity to 81%. The purpose of the invention is to increase the selectivity of the catalyst. This goal is achieved by the fact that the catalyst for the oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide containing silver, potassium, rubidium or cesium - alumina with a specific surface area, measured by the method of Brunauer, Emmett and Teller 0.3-2.2, contains these components at weight ratio: Silver8-24 Potassium0.0-0.3 Rubidium or cesium 0.001-0.15 Carrier Else The proposed catalyst has a high selectivity (88-94%). Silver is introduced into a preformed porous heat-resistant substrate in the form of a suspension. silver or silver oxide in the liquid medium, for example water, or the substrate is impregnated with a solution of a silver compound, which, if necessary, is reduced to metallic silver using a reducing agent, for example, hydrogen. If necessary, heat treatment is applied to decompose the silver compound to metallic silver. The impregnating solution contains a reducing agent in the form of an anion, for example, formate, acetate, a pionate, a lactate, a tartrate or a better oxalate compound of silver in solution. The reducing agent may be, for example, formaldehyde or acetaldehyde or alcohol, preferably with 1-4 carbon atoms, for example, methanol or ethanol. The solution is prepared in water and / or an organic solvent, for example, aliphatic alcohol, preferably with 1-4 carbon atoms, a polyhydric alcohol, for example, ethylene glycol or glycerin, ketone, acetone, ether, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, carboxylic acid, for example, acetic acid or molten lactic, which is used in the presence of water, or an ester, ethyl acetate, or a nitrogen-containing base, pyridine, or formamide. The organic solvent acts as a reducing agent and / or complexing agent for silver. If silver is introduced by impregnating the substrate with a solution of a decomposable silver compound, it is better that ammonia or a nitrogen-containing base is present. The nitrogen-containing base acts as a ligand that retains silver in solution, for example, pyridine, acetonitrile, amine, especially a primary or secondary amine with 1-6 carbon atoms, or better ammonia. Other suitable nitrogen containing bases include acrylonitrile, hydroxylamine and alkanoyl amines, for example ethanolamine, alkylene amines with 3-4 carbon atoms or amides, such as formamide or dimethyl Lormamide. Nitrogen-containing bases can be used individually or in mixtures, with mixtures of them with ammonia being preferred. Typically, the nitrogen-containing base or bases are used together with water. The solution may be neutral or acidic, for example, a solution of silver carboxylate, especially formate, acetate, propionate, oxalate, citrate, tartrate or better lactate or a solution of silver nitrate. The impregnation is carried out in one or several stages, thus achieving a higher content of silver in the catalyst. The silver compound is reduced to metallic silver by heating to 100-350 ° C, for 15 minutes to 4 hours, better in the absence of oxygen in the presence of an inert gas, for example, nitrogen. The catalyst support has a ka at least 30 porosities with a mercury absorption method, for example, 3080, better than 30-65, better still 40-60%, and an average pore diameter of 0.1-30 microns, better 0.3-4 microns measured by mercury method of determining porosity. The pore size distribution of the substrate is bimodal, the smaller pores make up at least 70% of the total pore volume and have an average pore diameter of preferably 0.1-0.3-4 microns. and large pores have an average diameter of .25-500 microns. Most of the silver in jope catalysis is in vice discrete particles adhering to the substrate, with equivalent diameters less than 10,000, better than 20-10000, even better than 40-8000 A. Under equivalent diameter is meant the diameter of a sphere of the same silver holding cell as the particle. At least 80% of the present silver is particles with an equivalent diameter of the above range, and the amount of silver is judged by the number of particles in the specified range. Silver may be in the form of metallic silver and / or silver oxides. Silver particle sizes are determined by an electron microscope. The amount of potassium and rubidium and / or cesium extracted by water is related to the specific surface of the substrate. Atomic ratios of potassium to rubidium or cesium 1.5: 1-200: 1. The form in which potassium, rubidium and cesium are in the catalyst is determined by the conditions for the oxidation of the olefin to olefin oxide with the aid of a catalyst. The alkali metal is in the form of any compound, such as carbonate, hydroxide, bicarbonate, lower carboxylate, such as acetate or oxalate, better than nitrate, it is desirable that catalyst dyes, such as bromine, iodine and sulfur, are absent. The promoter is introduced into the substrate before, during or after impregnation with a solution of silver compound in the form of solutions of the compounds of the promoting elements, it can be a solution in water and / or an organic solvent. They consist of solvents, reducing agents and / or complexing agents mentioned above. The catalyst is used in the process of oxidizing ethylene to ethylene oxide. The ethylene partial pressure is 0.1-30, preferably 1-30 kbar. The total pressure of 1-100, better than 3.100 kbar. The molar ratio of oxygen to ethylene or propylene is 0.05100. The oxygen partial pressure is 0.01, preferably 0.1-20, even better bar. i Oxygen is supplied as air or technical oxygen. Quantity: in diluent, for example, gels, nitrogen, argon and / or carbon dioxide and / or better than methane is 1080, better than 40-70% by volume of the whole mixture; gas compositions outside the limits of explosiveness. The temperature is 200-300, better than 220-290 ° C. The contact time should be sufficient to convert 0.5-70, 2-20, better than 5-20% ethylene, unreacted ethylene is recycled. Reaction modifiers are used, for example, chlorine in the form of chlorinated alkenes with 1-6 carbon atoms, for example, methyl chloride or tert-butyl chloride, dichloromethane or chloroform, chlorinated biphenyl or polyphenyl, chlorinated benzene, for example, monoyl dichlorobenzene, especially ethylene dihydride. The concentration of the reaction modifier depends on its chemical nature, in the case of ethylene dichloride it ranges from 0.1-100, better than 0.5-25 ppm by weight, and in the case of vinyl chloride, 0.1-200, better than 580 hours. / million by weight.
