Abstract:In order to solve the problem that nanosized spherical fullerene C60 is prone to aggregation as a catalyst support, the effect of adding dispersants on the platinum-supported fullerene C60 (C60/Pt) catalyst was studied, and soybean oil was hydrogenated by using a solid polymer electrochemical hydrogenation reaction device. Through techniques and methods such as sedimentation experiments, particle size and potential analysis, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, catalyst activity analysis, etc., the dispersion effect of Tween-80 and polyethylene glycol-6000 surfactants and the activity of fullerene after chemical modification were explored. The results showed that according to particle size potential and transmission electron microscopy, it can be seen that too high or too low was not conducive to catalyst dispersion, and the dispersant with better dispersion effect was Tween-80 (the optimal amount was 0.25%). According to X-ray diffraction analysis, it can be seen that the 111 crystal surface represented by 39.76° in C60/Pt+ was sharper, which showed that the addition of dispersant had a significant impact on the crystallization state of Pt substances on the catalyst surface. The diffraction peak intensity of the catalyst added with the dispersant increased and the crystallinity became better. The catalyst activity results showed that after 2 h of hydrogenation, the iodine value of hydrogenated oil catalyzed by adding 0.25% Tween-80 C60/Pt (C60/Pt+) was lower the iodine value of hydrogenated oil obtained by C60/Pt catalyzed, indicating that C60/Pt+ had better catalytic activity. To sum up, the research chemically modified fullerene C60 by adding different contents and different types of dispersants, providing data accumulation and laying the foundation for the efficient hydrogenation of spherical fullerene C60.
