摘要
以杂化轨道理论和关于含Si、Al元素催化剂酸中心的认识为理论依据和研究方法,从反应物与催化剂B酸中心相互作用为切入点,分析相互作用过程中甲醇与B酸中心分子结构变化,揭示甲醇制烯烃反应机理本质。研究结果表明甲醇转化制丙烯反应过程可分为3步:(1)B酸中心释放H~+攻击甲醇分子中C-O键,C-O键断裂生成甲基碳正离子(CH~+_3)和H_2O,CH~+_3中C原子外层有个空轨道,释放了H~+后的B酸中心失去活性。(2)失活B酸中心从CH~+_3中获得H~+,反应生成了一种新中间体H-form,H-form中C原子外层有1对孤对电子(e~-)和1个空轨道,结构式为C_(↑↓)~〇H_2;失活的B酸中心获得H~+后恢复活性。第3步,有3个H-form结构的C原子,第1个C原子上的孤对e~-占据第2个C原子上空轨道,第2个C原子上的孤对e~-占据第1个C原子上空轨道,彼此共用2对e~-,形成C=C键;第3个C原子上的空轨道与第1个C原子上C、H原子重叠轨道再次重叠,形成C、H和C三原子共用1对e~-结构,结果是第1个C原子与第2个C原子形成C=C键,第1个C原子与第3个C原子形成C-C键,3个C原子形成C=C-C结构,即生成丙烯。
Based on the hybrid orbital theory, knowledge of acid center of Silicon and Aluminum-containing catalysts and the mutual interaction between the reactant and the catalyst B-acid center, the molecular structure of methanol and B-acid center in the interaction process are investigated. Through the above studies, the nature of reaction mechanisms of methanol to olefins are understood. It was found that the methanol-to-propylene(MTP) reaction process could be divided into three steps: At the first step, the B-acid center provides hydrogen proton(H~+) to attack the C-O bond in the methanol molecule, and the C-O bond breaks to form methyl carbocation(CH~+_3) and H_2O. The outer layer of the carbon atom of the CH~+_3 has an empty orbit, but the B-acid center after the release of the hydrogen proton(H~+) loses its activity. At the second step, the inactivated B-acid center obtains hydrogen proton(H~+) from CH~+_3, and the reaction produces a new intermediate H-form. H-form has a pair of lone pairs of electrons(e~-) and an empty orbit. The structural formula is C_(↑↓)~〇H_2, where the double arrow represents the lone pair e~-, and the circle represents the empty orbit. Thus, the inactive B-acid center recovers the activity after obtaining hydrogen proton(H~+). At the third step, there are three carbon atoms of H-form structure, the lone pair e~- on the first carbon atom occupies the an empty of the second carbon atom, and the lone pair e~- on the second carbon atom occupies an empty orbit of first carbon atom, then first carbon and second carbon atoms share two pairs e~- to form a C=C double bond; the empty orbit on the third carbon atom overlaps with the overlapping orbit of the carbon and hydrogen atoms on the first carbon atom, forming a pair e~- structure which carbon, hydrogen and carbon atoms share with each other. As a result, the first carbon atom forms a C=C bond with the second carbon atom, and the first carbon atom forms a C-C bond with the third carbon atom. Then the three carbon atoms of H-form structure lead to a C=C-C structure, which is propylene.
