Effect of the catalyst preparation method on the performance of Ni-supported catalysts for the synthesis of saturated amines from nitrile hydrogenation

Abstract

Abstract: The liquid-phase hydrogenation of butyronitrile to saturated amines was studied on sili-ca-supported Ni catalysts prepared by either incipient-wetness impregnation (Ni/SiO₂-I) or ammonia (Ni/SiO₂-A) methods. A Ni/SiO₂-Al₂O₃-I sample was also used. Ni/SiO₂-I was a non-acidic catalyst containing large Ni⁰ particles of low interaction with the support, while Ni/SiO₂-A was an acidic catalyst due to the presence of Ni²⁺ species in Ni phyllosilicates of low reducibility. Ni/SiO₂-I formed essentially butylamine (80%), and dibutylamine as the only byproduct. In contrast, Ni/SiO₂-A yielded a mixture of dibutylamine (49%) and tributylamine (45%), being the formation of butylamine almost completely suppressed. The selective formation of secondary and tertiary amines on Ni/SiO₂-A was explained by considering that butylamine is not release to the liquid phase during the reaction because it is strongly adsorbed on surface acid sites contiguous to Ni⁰ atoms, thereby favoring the butylimine/butylamine condensation to higher amines between adsorbed species.
