Problems solved by technology

However, these methods have some disadvantages, for example, the esterification method has high synthesis cost and serious equipment corrosion; the formaldehyde dimerization method has poor effect and high cost; the methanol oxidative dehydrogenation method has low air rate and poor selectivity; the synthesis gas is directly synthesized. The space-time yield and selectivity of methyl formate are low, and it is difficult to realize industrialization
Methanol carbonylation is currently the most advanced production method of methyl formate. Sodium formate is used as the catalyst. At a reaction temperature of 80°C and a pressure of 4-6 MPa, the conversion rates of CO and methanol are 95% and 30%, respectively. Methyl formate The selectivity is nearly 100%; but there are also the following disadvantages: need to use higher price anhydrous methanol; must use expensive CO with a concentration higher than 80%
In addition, water and CO in the reaction system 2 The existence of will cause operational problems, greatly increasing the cost of the process
At the same time, the strong alkalinity of the catalyst is easy to corrode the reaction equipment, which violates the purpose of green chemistry

Abstract

The present invention discloses nanometer metal catalyst catalyzed formic acid ester synthesizing process, in which alcohol is catalyzed for caronylation reaction in the presence of nanometer metal catalyst and CO. The nanometer metal catalyst with particle size of 1-10 nm is prepared through mixing metal salt and macromolecular stabilizer, dispersing in liquid medium and reducing with reductant. The nanometer metal catalyst has the following advantages: capacity of realizing 3D free rotation, excellent low temperature activity capable of catalyzing formic acid ester synthesis at 60-200 deg.c, high conversion efficiency and high selectivity of formic acid ester, stable performance, environment friendship, etc. The nanometer metal catalyst catalyzed formic acid ester synthesizing process of the present invention has broad application foreground.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for synthesizing formate, in particular to a method for catalyzing the synthesis of formate by using a metal nanoparticle catalyst. Background technique [0002] Formic esters are a large class of carboxylate compounds that are widely used. They are not only important chemical products but also important intermediates in organic synthesis. For example, methyl formate is a versatile low-boiling solvent that can be directly used as an insecticide, fungicide, and fumigant for treating grain, fruit, dried fruit, and tobacco. It is often used as an intermediate in medicine, pesticide and organic synthesis, and a solvent for cellulose acetate. At present, it is mainly used as an intermediate product in the production of dimethylformamide and formic acid in industry. Ethyl formate is an important organic solvent, used in organic synthesis, and can also be used as spices for wine making, fungicides for cigarettes, food indus...
