Abstract:
A catalyst containing V
2O
5, TiO
2 and MoO
3 was prepared for 2-cyanopyridine synthesis by ammoxidation of 2-picoline under continuous gas-solid phase conditions. Experimental results show that the co-catalyst MoO
3 can improve 2-cyanopyridine selectivity, and the best catalytic composition is 8.91%(wt)V
2O
5, 85.84%(wt) TiO
2 and 5.25%(wt) MoO
3. The reaction condition of 2-cyanopyridine ammoxidation was optimized based on this optimized V-Ti-O-Mo catalyst. When the reaction temperature is 380℃, material ratio is 1: 5: 3.3: 22 (2-methylpyridine/ammonia/water/air, molar ratio) and space velocity is 0.15 h
-1, the highest yield of 2-cyanopyridine is 85.6%.
