Synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from methanol and supercritical carbon dioxide

The synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from methanol and supercritical carbon dioxide over various base catalysts has been studied. Compounds of group-I elements (Li, Na and K) were used as base catalysts. The promoter and the dehydrating agent were also used to enhance the yield of DMC. The effects of the catalysts, promoter and dehydrating agent on the yield of DMC were investigated. By-products such as dimethyl ether (DME) and C₁–C₂ hydrocarbons were formed with the DMC as a main product. The yield of DMC with different alkali metal catalysts ranked in the following order: K > Na > Li. The catalysts of the metal-CO₃ compounds were more effective than the metal-OH compounds in DMC synthesis. The maximum DMC yield reached up to about 12 mol% in the presence of K₂CO₃ (catalyst), CH₃I (promoter) and 2,2-dimethoxypropane (dehydrating agent) at 130–140°C and 200 bar. The reaction mechanism of DMC synthesis from methanol and supercritical carbon dioxide was proposed.

NaF含量对以水滑石结构为前驱体的固体碱催化剂F-Ca-Mg-Al及碳酸二甲酯合成的影响（英文）

以碳酸丙烯(PC)和甲醇为原料,经酯交换反应合成的多功能、环保的碳酸二甲酯(DMC)是一种绿色、节能的合成方法。CaO固体碱催化剂对该反应具有良好的催化性能,但其再生性不理想。以F-Ca-Mg-Al水滑石(LDHs)为原料,制备了一系列不同Na F用量的固体碱催化剂,并对其进行了表征和酯交换反应测试。与不加氟的FCMA-0催化剂相比,经氟改性后的催化剂的比表面积、碱量、催化活性等性能均有明显提高。催化活性由高到低依次为:FCMA-0.8> FCMA-0.4>FCMA-1.2> FCMA-1.6> FCMA-0,这与总碱位量和强碱位量一致。FCMA-0.8催化剂活性最好,与纯CaO催化剂的相当,PC转化率为66.8%,DMC选择性为97.4%,DMC收率为65.1%。在10次循环使用后,FCMA-0.8催化剂的DMC收率仅下降3.9%(CaO催化剂下降33.2%)。FCMA-0.8在PC与甲醇酯交换制DMC方面具有良好的工业应用前景。     

Synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (dmc) from co2, ethylene oxide and methanol using heterogeneous anion exchange resins as catalysts

Summary A two-step synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from ethylene oxide (EO), carbon dioxide and methanol using heterogeneous anion exchange resins as catalysts is reported. The first step is the reaction of EO with CO₂ to form ethylene carbonate (EC), and the second one the transesterification of EC with methanol to yield DMC. Effect of various reaction parameters on the activity and selectivity of the catalysts used was investigated. After the first step, the crude mixture containing EC was directly reacted with methanol in the presence of a heterogeneous anion exchange resin catalyst to produce DMC in high yield and selectivity. Our process is highly economic.     

甲醇和碳酸丙烯酯合成碳酸二甲酯的研究

采用浸渍法以ZrO2为载体，以碱金属氢氧化物和碳酸盐为前驱体制备了不同的固体碱催化剂，在温和反应条件下考察了催化剂的酯交换扳应性能，并通过BET、XRD和CO2－TPD等方法对催化剂进行了表征，结果表明：Na2CO3负载到不同载体上，其催化性能明显不同，Na2CO3/ZrO2催化剂获得了较高的酯交换活性。载体的比表面和孔结构与催化剂的反应活性无一定的依存关系。而催化剂表面的酸碱性是影响酯交换活性的重要因素。     

Transesterification of dimethyl carbonate with phenol over a bimetallic molybdenum and copper catalyst

Mo-Cu bimetallic oxides were found to be efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the transesterification of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) with phenol. When the reaction was carried out between 150 and 180°C, with a molar of Mo/Cu of 1:1, molar ratio of phenol/DMC of 1:1, 4.8 wt.% of the catalyst, 9 h, the conversion of phenol was 49.9%, and the total yield of MPC and DPC was 45.4%. Catalyst reuse showed a gradual decline in the catalytic activity. The decrease in catalytic activity might be due to leaching out of Mo and Cu, and/or carbon deposition.     

Structure and stability of solvation complexes of trimethyl phosphate and dimethyl methyl phosphonate

The presently used electrolytes in Lithium ion batteries, dimethyl carbonate (DMC), and ethylene carbonate are flammable. Trimethyl phosphate (TMP) and dimethyl methyl phosphonate (DMMP) have been shown to be potential nonflammable electrolytes. Density functional theory is used to calculate the structure and stability of the solvation complexes of TMP and DMMP. The calculations indicate that TMP and DMMP can form a solvation complex of the form Li⁺(X)₄ where X is the TMP or DMMP molecule. Calculations of the solvation energy and bond dissociation energies to remove one TMP and DMMP from the solvation complexes are compared with the same calculations on DMC. The results indicate that TMP and DMMP are considerably more stable than DMC.

Ca-Al催化剂上甘油与碳酸二甲酯酯交换合成碳酸甘油酯

生物柴油是一种环保、可再生、使用安全、可替代石化柴油的新型液体燃料,其产量和使用范围正逐年扩大。然而生物柴油生产过程中的主要副产物甘油严重过剩,因此甘油资源化转化和利用已经成为近年研究热点。甘油可以作为一种平台化合物实现向多种高附加值化学品的转化,例如通过催化氢解合成1,2-丙二醇,通过发酵和催化氧化制备二羟基丙酮,通过脱水制备丙烯醛和羟基丙酮,通过酯交换反应生成甘油酯等。其中,以甘油为原料合成的碳酸甘油酯(GC)具有很好的工业应用前景。以碳酸二甲酯(DMC)为原料与甘油进行酯交换合成GC是近年内比较有工业发展潜力的合成路线。前期研究发现,固体碱对该反应具有很好的催化活性,而且随着催化剂碱性增强,甘油转化率明显增加,然而当催化剂(如NaOH, KOH和K2CO3等)碱性过强时,产物选择性明显降低。水滑石类化合物是一种常见的碱性温和的固体催化剂,而且其碱性与结构可以调节,因此我们选择了一种常见水滑石——水铝钙石作为本研究的重点。 本文通过共沉淀法制备了一系列不同Ca/Al比(1–6)的Ca-Al水滑石,并以此作为前驱体制备了新型的固体碱催化剂。 XRD结果表明,当Ca/Al比为1–6时,所有样品都出现了明显的水滑石特征衍射峰,但当铝含量过高时会出现氢氧化铝杂相。 SEM结果发现,当Ca/Al =2–4时,样品中水滑石的结晶度高,有较完整的水滑石晶片, Ca/Al =6的样品中水滑石晶片较小, Ca/Al =1的样品中有明显的无定形氧化铝杂相。 TG-DSC结果表明, Ca/Al =2的样品除了几个与水滑石相关的特征失重峰以外,在786oC还检测到明显的热吸收峰,说明此时钙铝石已经发生分解,生成了单独的Ca12Al14O33晶相和氧化钙,这与SEM结果一致。这些水滑石经焙烧后用于温和条件下催化甘油与DMC酯交换生成GC的反应,发现上述催化剂对该反应具有很高的催化活性和目的产物选择性。当DMC与甘油的摩尔比为3时,70oC反应3 h后,甘油转化率达到93%, GC选择性高于97%。表征结果显示,甘油转化率主要取决于焙烧后Ca-Al催化剂中强碱性中心数量。其中经800oC焙烧后Ca/Al =2的样品中强碱性中心数量最多,因而表现出最高的催化活性。焙烧后催化剂中形成的Ca12Al14O33晶相在多次重复使用后仍可以稳定存在,但是表面CaO易流失,可能会降低催化剂的重复使用活性。     

Synthesis of methyl acetoacetate from acetone and dimethyl carbonate with alkali-promoted MgO catalysts

The synthesis of methyl acetoacetate (MAA) by methoxycarbonylation of acetone with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) was carried out in the presence of MgO and alkali-promoted MgO catalysts. From among Li, Na, K, and Cs, potassium was found to be the most effective promoter to improve the activity of MgO. The effect of K/MgO with variable content of K was also investigated, and the individual catalysts were characterised by the XRD, BET, SEM, CO₂-TPD, and in situ CO₂ IR techniques. The results showed that the addition of a small amount of K (1.97 mass %) could promote MAA formation, but a higher K loading caused a decrease in the yield of MAA, which might result from particle agglomeration and the presence of stable potassium carbonates. In situ FTIR experiments of co-adsorbed reactants indicated that the reaction probably proceeded via abstraction of H_α from acetone by base sites.     

高稳定性CaO-ZrO2固体碱催化剂的表征和催化性能

用共沉淀法经高温焙烧制备了CaO摩尔分数从10%至50%的CaO-ZrO₂系列催化剂, 将其应用于碳酸丙烯酯和甲醇酯交换合成碳酸二甲酯过程, 并通过XRD, FT-IR, BET, ICP, CO₂-TPD, XPS等表征手段研究了催化剂的物性及其催化性能随组成变化的的规律. 结果表明, 当CaO摩尔分数高于30%时, 表面出现游离的CaO, 虽然具有强碱性和高活性, 但是稳定性差; 而当CaO摩尔分数低于30%时, Ca^2＋进入ZrO₂晶格, CaO与ZrO₂形成连续固溶体, 并且随着CaO含量的增加, 晶格氧的电荷密度增加, 催化剂的碱性增强, 使得CaO-ZrO₂催化剂在碳酸丙烯酯和甲醇酯交换合成碳酸二甲酯过程中获得了高活性和高稳定性.

Effects of Mo promoters on the Cu-Fe bimetal catalysts for the DMC formation from CO2 and methanol

The Mo-promoted Cu-Fe bimetal catalysts were prepared and used for the formation of dimethyl carbonate（DMC） from CO₂ and methanol.The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, temperature programmed reduction（TPR）,laser Raman spectra（LRS）,energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） and temperature programmed desorption（TPD） techniques.The experimental results demonstrated that the Mo promoters can decrease the reducibility and increase the dispersion of Cu-Fe clusters.The concentration balance of base-acid sites can be readily adjusted by changing the Mo content.The moderate concentration balance of acid and base sites was in favor of the DMC formation. Under optimal experimental conditions,the highest methanol conversion of 6.99%with a DMC selectivity of 87.7%can be obtained when 2.5 wt%of Mo was loaded.
