The results of the screening are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 screening of catalysts
A. in the multicomponent catalyst, each percentage is mass percent;
b. conversion = (1-chloroethylene carbonate content) ×100%, chloroethylene carbonate content = chloroethylene carbonate content determined by GC detection in a sample taken from the condenser outlet when the reaction proceeded to 48 h;
Vc content = vinylene carbonate content determined by GC detection in a sample taken from the condenser outlet at 48h of the reaction;
Vc yield = molar amount of vinylene carbonate obtained after rectifying crude product collected from 0-48 h/molar amount of chloroethylene carbonate consumed by 0-48h, purity of vinylene carbonate obtained after rectifying is not less than 99.5%;
e. catalyst life = time from reaction start to conversion for the first time below 50%;
f. Reactor temperature 300 ℃;
g. Prepared with reference to example 1 of cn200680016151. X;
h. The preparation method is that the raw materials are mixed and then molded, and the molding method is the same as other catalysts, but does not comprise a calcining step.
From the above table, the catalyst effect provided by the application is obviously better than some catalyst effects reported in the prior literature. The catalyst provided by the application has the advantages that the integral mechanical strength is far higher than that of the traditional catalyst using a carrier through steps of molding, calcining and the like, so that the pulverization phenomenon can not occur in the reaction process, and the service life of the catalyst can reach more than 100 hours. As can be seen from entries 25 and 36 of Table 1, the catalyst life and product conversion were significantly improved with the same other conditions, with only the catalyst calcined. This result shows that calcination of the catalyst is effective in improving catalyst life, product conversion, and the amount of VC in the product in the process of the present application.
In terms of catalyst type selection, the applicant found that the effect of chloride is widely deviated because the chloride transition metal chloride catalyst typified by zinc chloride causes an increase in side reactions of deep cracking, and the catalyst is severely carbonized, resulting in failure of the catalytic reaction to proceed smoothly. However, the use of an oxide as a catalyst can achieve yields far superior to those obtained when other catalyst species are employed.
