通过反相微乳液法制备了以Fe3O4为核,磺酸官能化的硅基材料为壳层的磁性酸性催化剂.首先制备纳米Fe3O4磁核,然后涂层包覆苯基修饰的纳米级硅层,最后进行苯基磺化修饰,制得固体酸催化剂Fe3O4@Si/Ph-SO3H.在果糖脱水制备5-羟甲基糠醛反应中,该催化剂表现出较好的催化活性,优于传统催化剂A-15,且与均相无机酸催化活性相当.当采用二甲基亚砜作溶剂,在110 oC下反应3 h,果糖转化率达到99%,5-羟甲基糠醛收率为82%.另外,该催化剂经磁法回收后可多次重复使用.
A magnetically recyclable acid catalyst composed of an Fe3O4 core and sulfonic acid functionalized silica shell has been prepared using the reverse microemulsion method. The Fe3O4 core was coated with a phenyl modified silica shell nanolayer, and the phenyl groups were subsequently sulfonated to generate a solid sulfonic acid catalyst. The resulting acid catalyst showed higher activity than the conventional A-15 catalyst and comparable activity to several homogeneous sulfonic acid catalysts for the dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). This process gave a fructose conversion of 99%with an HMF yield of 82%following 3 h in dimethylsulfoxide at 110 °C. Fur-thermore, the catalyst could be magnetically separated and recycled several times without losing its activity.
