Abstract
ε-Caprolactam (CPL) is an important organic chemical raw material used as a monomer in the production of nylon 6. The traditional production process employs fuming sulfuric acid as a catalyst, leading to serious equipment corrosion and environmental pollution. While vapor-phase Beckman rearrangement reaction offers a solution to these issues. Unfortunately, the catalyst used is susceptible to carbon deposition and deactivation during the vapor-phase Beckman rearrangement process. Herein, a kind of mixed acid-modified hollow TS-1 zeolite was prepared in this study. It is a hollow structure of TS-1 zeolite formed by secondary crystallization, which is conducive to the shortening of the reaction path and the improvement of the anti-carbon accumulation performance. Further investigation revealed that modification of the hollow TS-1 zeolite with mixed acids facilitates the removal of non-skeletal titanium, and reduces the amount of Lewis acid in the catalyst, thereby improving its catalytic performance. Under optimal conditions, the cyclohexanone oxime (CHO) conversion rate reached 100%, with a caprolactam selectivity exceeding 98%. Notably, the catalytic activity of the catalyst remained stable after 500 h of continuous operation.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
