Abstract:

In this paper, the effect of solvent effect on hydrogenation of lignin phenolic compounds in Ru/C and Al2O3 catalyst systems was systematically studied. In ethanol solvent, phenol can be completely converted into cyclohexanol at 35℃, which exhibited the best hydrogenation effect. The research showed that the hydrogenation effect of polar solvent was better than nonpolar solvents, because the catalyst enabled to be evenly dispersed in the polar solvent, which strengthened the mass transfer and diffusion of the catalyst and the reactants. This study also established the relationship between Kamlet-Taft expression parameters and the conversion rate of phenol, and the effect of each parameter was analyzed. Besides, this work also elaborated the detailed phenol hydrogenation reaction pathway and mechanism in Ru/C and Al2O3 catalytic system. The catalytic system was also applied to the hydrogenation of other lignin-derived phenolic model compounds, which also achieved a good result. Most of the phenolic compounds were transformed into corresponding cyclic alcohols through hydrogenation with a high stability.

Key words: solvent, phenolic compounds, hydrogenation, catalyst, polar solvents

摘要:

系统研究了木质素酚类化合物在Ru/C和Al2O3催化体系下溶剂效应对加氢反应的影响。在乙醇溶剂中,苯酚在35℃下即可完全转化为环己醇,具有最佳的加氢效果。研究表明极性溶剂比非极性溶剂的加氢效果更好,是因为催化剂分散均匀,强化了催化剂和反应物间的传质与扩散。在醇类极性溶剂中,乙醇的加氢反应效率最高,对比研究显示溶剂的极性越强,苯酚加氢的转化效果越好。还建立了Kamlet-Taft表达式参数与苯酚转化率间的关系关联式,分析了各参数的影响效果,详细阐述了Ru/C和Al2O3催化体系下详细的苯酚加氢反应路径和机理,并将该催化体系应用于其他木质素酚类化合物的加氢反应,也取得了很好的反应效果,大部分木质素酚类化合物均加氢饱和转化成稳定的环状醇类化合物。
