EFFECT OF THE REACTOR TYPE AND SOLVENT NATURE ON THE BEHAVIOR OF POLYMER-SUPPORTED PALLADIUM CATALYSTS OF SELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF TRIPLE BOND
Abstract
This work is aimed at the search of optimal conditions of selective hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) to 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBE). The main question was if the common slurry reactors are suitable for this reaction under ambient hydrogen pressure with the use of environmentally friendly solvents. Thus, we investigated the effect of the reactor type (shaker-type or slurry), temperature and solvent nature (isopropanol, n-butanol or toluene were used) on the behavior of a palladium catalysts (1 wt.% of Pd) deposited on amorphous aromatic polymers in the reaction of selective hydrogenation of MBY to MBE. Aromatic polymers were synthesized by the one-step cross-linking of such monomers as benzene and naphthalene using methylal as an external cross-linking agent. These polymers are simple in synthesis and possess high porosity (specific surface area is about 1000 m2/g) that favors stabilization of Pd nanoparticles into the polymers- pores. It was demonstrated that synthesized catalysts allow achieving high selectivity with respect to MBE (95-96% at almost complete conversion of MBY). Moreover, since the reaction was carried out at ambient hydrogen pressure, the method of hydrogen supply and sampling has strong influence as well as the nature of the solvent, which affects not only the hydrogen partial pressure, but also the hydrogen solubility and the adsorption of the reagents.
