Abstract:

Cu-doped calcium aluminum hydrotalcites of Ca4Cu x Al-LDHs (x=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8,1.0) were prepared by a coprecipitation method, and its catalytic activity for liquid phase oxidation of cumene to cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) was investigated. Ca4Cu x Al-LDHs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and thermal analysis. The prepared Ca4Cu x Al-LDHs remain the layered structure of hydrotalcite. The copper doping results in a smaller pore size and a larger specific surface area. When the feed ratio (catalyst/cumene) is 7.5 mg/mL, the reaction temperature is 85 ℃, the flow rate of oxygen is 15 mL/min, and the reaction time is 7 h, Ca4Cu0.5Al-LDHs shows excellent catalytic activity, the conversion of cumene is 34.5% and the selectivity of CHP is 86.9%. After being used for five cycles, the conversion of cumene is 31.2% and the selectivity of CHP is 83.3%. The study is useful for developing the production method for cumene hydrogen peroxide.
