Chloride-free CuY Catalyst Prepared by Solid State Reaction for Oxidative Carbonylation of Methanol† — Effect of Solid State Reactive Temperature and Copper Loading

doi:10.7503/cjcu20150285

Abstract

Abstract:

Copper(Ⅱ) acetylacetonate Cu(acac)₂ as copper source and NH₄Y zeolite as support, the chloride-free CuY catalyst was prepared by solid state reaction. The influence of the solid state reactive temperature and the copper loading(mass fraction) on the catalytic activity for oxidative carbonylation of methanol was studied. And the effect of the phase structure, reducible copper species and texture on catalytic activity was investigated. The results indicates that the exchange degree between N $H 4 +$ and Cu²⁺ at first increases and then decreases with the increasing of the solid state reactive temperature, and the catalytic activity of the as-prepared CuY catalyst has the same changing tendency. When copper loading is below 10%, the selectivity of dimethyl carbonate is low by the effect of the residual Brϕnsted acid. However, copper loading is above 12%, the unexchanged Cu(acac)₂ decomposed to form CuO nano-particles and the nanometer-sized particles grow up, covered some active centers, even blocked pore, resulting in the decrease of catalytic activity. The as-prepared CuY catalyst with 12% copper loading at 250 ℃ solid state reaction exhibits an excellent catalytic activity. Space-time yield(STY) of dimethyl carbonate(DMC) up to 267.3 mg·g^-1·h^-1 was achieved.
