Abstract

The present invention relates to a catalyst for fixed bed aniline rectification residue recycling and preparation method thereof. Based on the total weight of the catalyst, the catalyst comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 5-40% of an active component, 2-30% of a first cocatalyst component, 10-30% of a second cocatalyst component and the balance of carrier, wherein the active component is NiO; the first cocatalyst component is one or more of Fe, Mo, Cr or Co oxide; and the second cocatalyst component is one or more of La, Zr, Y or Ce oxide. The catalyst is prepared through co-precipitation. The catalyst shows high activity and stability in the waste liquid treatment process, and can still maintain high rectification residue cracking rate after reaction of 200 hours.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A process of recycling aniline rectification residue, comprising subjecting the aniline rectification residue to fixed bed hydrogenation with a catalyst, wherein said catalyst comprises the components described below based on the total weight of the catalyst:
5-40 wt % of NiO as an active component,
2-30 wt % of one or more selected from oxides of Fe, oxides of Mo, oxides of Cr and oxides of Co as a first cocatalyst component,
10-30 wt % of one or more selected from oxides of La, oxides of Zr, oxides of Y and oxides of Ce as a second cocatalyst component,
the remaining portion being the support.

2. The process of claim 1 , wherein said catalyst comprises the components described below based on the total weight of the catalyst:
15-30 wt % of NiO as the active component,
5-25 wt % of one or more selected from oxides of Fe, oxides of Mo, oxides of Cr and oxides of Co as the first cocatalyst component,
15-25 wt % of one or more selected from oxides of La, oxides of Zr, oxides of Y and oxides of Ce as the second cocatalyst component,
the remaining portion being the support.

3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the support is SiO 2 .

4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the aniline rectification residue is treated by gas phase hydrogenation to obtain cyclohexyl amine and dicyclohexyl amine, using monofunctional saturated alcohol as the diluent, under the catalysis of the catalyst, at a certain temperature and pressure.

5. The process of claim 4 , wherein the monofunctional saturated alcohol is ethanol or methanol.

6. The process of claim 4 , wherein the monofunctional saturated alcohol/aniline rectification residue in mass ratio of 0.1-0.7:1 is introduced to a fixed bed reactor, wherein the liquid phase volume space velocity is 0.6-1.5 h −1 , the reaction pressure is 1-4 MPa, the reaction temperature is between 250-320° C., and the volume ratio of the hydrogen amount and the amount of aniline rectification residue is 500-3000:1.
