摘要: 采用水热稳定的MgAl2O4尖晶石对α-Al2O3载体表面进行修饰,采用具有较强亲水性能的SnO2对活性组分Nb2O5进行修饰,制备了SnO2-Nb2O5/MgAl2O4/α-Al2O3催化剂,并用于环氧乙烷水合制乙二醇反应. 采用X射线衍射、红外光谱和程序升温脱附研究了Sn/Nb摩尔比对催化剂酸性、环氧乙烷在催化剂表面的吸附状态和吸附强度以及催化剂性能的影响. 结果表明, Sn/Nb摩尔比明显影响催化剂的组成和结构; 催化剂的结构不同,环氧乙烷在催化剂表面的吸附强度存在明显差别,催化剂的催化性能明显不同.

Abstract: The SnO2-Nb2O5/MgAl2O4/α-Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by modification of α-Al2O3 with MgAl2O4 along with the doping of SnO2 in Nb2O5 and used for hydration of ethylene oxide (EO) to monoethylene glycol (MEG). The effects of Sn/Nb molar ratios on the structure, the acidity and the catalytic performance of the catalyst were investigated by using X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption of NH3 and of EO. The phase composition of niobium species, the catalyst acidity, and the adsorption states and strength of EO were markedly influenced by the Sn/Nb molar ratios, leading to different EO conversion and MEG selectivity. MEG selectivity of 95.2% was achieved at n(Sn)/n(Nb)=0.8. The characterization of the used catalyst revealed that no obvious change was recorded, indicating the good hydrothermal stability of the catalyst.
