甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)是生产有机玻璃(PMMA)的核心单体,目前主要采用丙酮氰醇法(ACH法)生产,此法工艺流程长、原子经济性低(约47%)、经济效益差、环境污染严重,因此,开发一条绿色高效的合成工艺路线意义重大.
The Pd-Pb catalyst supported on Al2O3 was prepared by the two-step impregnation method. The oxidative esterification of methacrolein (MAL) to methyl methacrylate (MMA) was carried out in a stainless bubble autoclave over the catalyst. The influences of the reaction conditions on catalytic activity were investigated in detail. The optimal reaction conditions were as follows. T= 80℃, P=0. 3 MPa, methanol : MAL=8 : 1 ( molar ratio ), catalyst mass concentration in the reaction system 3.84%, pH of the reaction system 7-8, oxygen flux rate 30 ml · min^-1. Under the above conditions, MAL conversion and MMA selectivity reached 91% and 84%, respectively. The catalyst was recycled for seven times and still kept good selectivity.
