Abstract: Liquid-phase oxidation of toluene by air was carried out by using Co(acac)2 as catalyst in a 1 L stirred tank reactor.The product distributions of toluene oxidation and the effect of Co concentrations on the oxidation reaction of toluene were investigated.The life of Co(acac)2 catalyst was studied under different reaction temperatures and Co concentrations.The results showed that toluene oxidation was multiple reactions in parallel and series steps.A phenomenon of "catalyst- inhibitor" transition was found for Co(acac)2 catalyst like other Co salt catalyst.The appropriate Co(acac)2 dosage was 0.0044%(mass).Co(acac)2 catalyst life changed with reaction temperature and had the longest value at 165℃.Co(acac)2 catalyst might lose its activity easily at a lower reaction temperature (<165℃).The conversion of toluene and yield of benzoic acid could reach 19% and 80% respectively at reaction time 4 hours,reaction temperature 165℃ and Co concentration 0.0044%.Co(acac)2 catalyst has less catalyst dosage and longer lifetime than other Co salt catalysts like cobalt acetate,cobalt naphthenate,etc.,which could slow down the scaling of cobalt oxalate during reaction.Therefore Co(acac)2 catalyst has a good application prospect as catalyst in liquid-phase oxidation of toluene.

摘要: 以乙酰丙酮钴(Co(acac)2)为催化剂,在1 L高压搅拌反应釜中研究了其对甲苯液相空气氧化反应的催化性能和反应产物分布,考察了催化剂用量对甲苯转化率和苯甲酸收率的影响,并考察了不同温度下不同催化剂用量时的催化剂寿命。结果表明,Co(acac)2催化甲苯液相氧化是平行连串的复杂反应,Co(acac)2的催化活性存在"催化-抑制转换"现象,适宜的催化剂用量为0.0044%(质量分数);催化剂的寿命随反应温度变化存在一个最大值,165℃时催化剂寿命最长,反应温度较低(<165℃)时催化剂更容易失活;在165℃、Co(acac)2用量为0.0044%时,反应4 h,甲苯转化率为19%,苯甲酸收率为80%;与醋酸钴、环烷酸钴等钴盐催化剂相比,Co(acac)2催化剂具有用量少、催化活性时间长的优点,可有效地减缓钴盐结垢现象,Co(acac)2催化剂对甲苯液相空气氧化反应具有良好的催化性能。
