Abstract

A preparation method of a Co@CM multi-channel ceramic catalytic membrane for hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol is provided. In the catalytic membrane, a multi-channel ceramic membrane is adopted as a substrate. A cobalt salt as an active component is loaded in situ on a surface and in pores of the multi-channel ceramic membrane through a forced circulation with the help of the excellent reduction and anchoring effects of dopamine (DA), and then subjected to in situ self-reduction through calcination to produce the Co@CM multi-channel ceramic catalytic membrane. The preparation method has the following advantages: Nano-scale Co particles are loaded instead of a precious metal on a multi-channel ceramic membrane, and the surface of the Co particles is wrapped by carbon and nitrogen, which can effectively inhibit the loss of Co particles during a reaction. In addition, there is no need to add an additional reducing agent during the reduction of Co.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A preparation method of a Co@ceramic membrane (CM) multi-channel ceramic catalytic membrane for hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol, comprising the following steps:
step 1, dissolving tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane in deionized water to produce a first solution;
step 2, slowly adding a dilute hydrochloric acid solution dropwise to the first solution for pH adjustment to produce a second solution;
step 3, adding dopamine (DA) to the second solution, and thoroughly mixing to produce a third solution;
step 4, in a forced circulation device, allowing a forced circulation flow of the third solution through pores and walls of a 19-channel ceramic membrane tube to make the DA loaded in situ;
step 5, oven-drying to produce a DA-modified 19-channel ceramic membrane tube;
step 6, dissolving cobalt nitrate hexahydrate in methanol to produce a fourth solution;
step 7, allowing a forced circulation flow of the fourth solution through pores and walls of the DA-modified 19-channel ceramic membrane tube to make a cobalt salt loaded in situ;
step 8, oven-drying to produce a cobalt salt-loaded ceramic membrane tube;
step 9, subjecting the cobalt salt-loaded ceramic membrane tube to calcination-reduction, wherein a calcination process allows an in situ reduction process to be completed without requiring an additional reducing agent; and
step 10, rinsing pores and walls of a resulting membrane tube through a forced circulation of an ethanol aqueous solution, and air-drying naturally to produce the Co@CM multi-channel ceramic catalytic membrane;
wherein a concentration of the DA in the third solution in the step 3 is 2.0 g/L to 4.0 g/L; a concentration of the cobalt nitrate hexahydrate in the fourth solution in the step 6 is 0.05 mol/L to 0.5 mol/L; and a calcination temperature in the step 9 is 600° C. to 800° C.;
wherein in the step 1, a concentration of the tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane in the first solution is 0.05 mol/L to 0.2 mol/L;
wherein in the step 2, a pH of the second solution is 8.0 to 9.0, and a concentration of the dilute hydrochloric acid solution is 0.1 mol/L;
wherein in the step 4, a flow rate for the forced circulation flow of the third solution is 3 L/hour to 5 L/hour, and a time of the forced circulation flow is 12 hours to 36 hours; and a temperature controlled by the forced circulation device is 20° C. to 40° C.;
wherein in the step 5 and the step 8, the oven-drying is conducted for 12 hours to 36 hours at 50° C. to 70° C.;
wherein in the step 7, a flow rate for the forced circulation flow of the fourth solution is 3 L/hour to 5 L/hour, and a time of the forced circulation flow is 12 hours to 36 hours; and a temperature controlled by the forced circulation device is 20° C. to 40° C.;
wherein in the step 9, a calcination atmosphere is argon, a heating rate is 2° C./min to 10° C./min, and the calcination temperature is held for 4 hours to 6 hours; and in the step 10, a flow rate for the forced circulation of the ethanol aqueous solution for the rinsing is 2 L/hour to 5 L/hour, the rinsing through the forced circulation is conducted for at least 60 min, and a volume ratio of ethanol to water is 1:3.
