The purification of crude terephthalic acid was performed by the hydrogenation of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde (4-CBA) over activated carbon (AC) supported Pd catalysts in industry. However, traditional Pd/AC catalysts usually suffer from low hydrogenation activity and poor thermal stability. Herein, nitrogen was incorporated into AC a simple hydrothermal treatment of AC with urea as the nitrogen resource. The N doped AC contained pyridinic N, pyrrolic N, graphitic N and oxidized N. Wide characterizations revealed that N doping not only effectively improved the dispersion of Pd NPs but also increased the proportion of Pd. In addition, N doping also enhanced the dissociative adsorption capacity of molecular hydrogen. More importantly, the resistance to sintering of Pd NPs was efficiently suppressed after N doping. As a result, N doped AC supported Pd showed both higher activity and better thermal stability than the N-free one.
在工业上,粗对苯二甲酸的提纯是通过在活性炭(AC)负载的钯催化剂上对4-羧基苯甲醛(4-CBA)进行氢化来实现的。然而,传统的Pd/AC催化剂通常存在氢化活性低和热稳定性差的问题。在此,通过以尿素作为氮源对AC进行简单的水热处理,将氮引入到AC中。N掺杂的AC含有吡啶型N、吡咯型N、石墨型N和氧化型N。广泛的表征表明,N掺杂不仅有效地改善了钯纳米颗粒(Pd NPs)的分散性,还增加了Pd的比例。此外,N掺杂还增强了分子氢的解离吸附能力。更重要的是,N掺杂后有效地抑制了Pd NPs的烧结抗性。结果,N掺杂AC负载Pd比无N的催化剂表现出更高的活性和更好的热稳定性。
