Background technology

Compound metal oxides related to magnesium and transition metals have good application backgrounds in the field of catalysis, such as magnesium-aluminum composite metal oxides, magnesium-manganese composite metal oxides, magnesium-iron composite metal oxides, copper-cobalt composite metal oxides, copper-chromium composite metal oxides, copper-iron composite metal oxides, etc. Most of the composite metal oxides have good applications in solid propellants. For example, when magnesium-iron composite metal oxides, copper-cobalt composite metal oxides, copper-chromium composite metal oxides, and copper-iron composite metal oxides are used as burning rate catalysts in solid propellants, the pyrolysis temperature of AP can be significantly reduced, the primary and secondary combustion efficiencies of boron powder can be improved, and the catalytic performance can be further improved after further modification and coating of the catalyst, and the compatibility with terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene in the system is also solved. Composite metal oxides have stable crystal structures, good optical, electrical and magnetic properties. They are important laser materials, pyroelectric materials, piezoelectric materials and strong magnetic materials, etc., and are widely used. They are used in burning rate catalysts for solid propellants, photocatalytic decomposition of water to produce hydrogen, and hydrocarbon reforming reactions in the petrochemical industry. The lattice distortion caused by their mutual doping leads to more defects in the grains of composite oxides, and the number of active centers is significantly increased. Their comprehensive performance is often better than that of single oxides. Composite metal oxides also have high redox, hydrogenolysis, isomerization, electrocatalytic activity, etc. As a new functional material with gas sensitivity, giant magnetoresistance, conductivity and other characteristics, they have broad application prospects in information, energy, electronics, metallurgy, chemical industry, biology and medicine.

Magnesium-containing transition metal composite oxides are multi-component complex oxides composed of magnesium and one or more transition metal oxides. They have better properties in electricity, light, magnetism and other aspects than single oxides. They also have good stability, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, high hardness and other properties. Among cobalt-based composite oxides, there are few reports on magnesium-cobalt composite oxides, which are composite bimetallic oxides of magnesium oxide and cobalt oxide. Cobalt-based oxides can be used for synthesis of gas and oil or as an auxiliary agent for the synthesis of low-carbon alcohols, etc. Cobalt-based compounds or mixtures of Co and other metal oxides have real industrial application value prospects. Cobalt oxide nanocatalysts have good catalytic efficiency for the decomposition reaction of N2O=N2+O2. Research in recent years has found that cobalt oxide and cobalt hydroxide can significantly improve the performance of batteries: increase the high output power and specific capacity of batteries, increase the life of batteries during charge and discharge cycles, reduce the phenomenon of automatic discharge and improve the overcharge resistance, etc. They are excellent battery additives. In addition, it also has great research potential in the fields of magnetic materials and electrode materials. .

The interaction between Co and Mg in magnesium-cobalt composite metal oxides is conducive to the activation of active sites, thereby improving catalytic performance, reducing reaction temperature and other reaction conditions. Cobalt oxide is a common catalyst or catalyst carrier, which shows good catalytic performance in many reactions. The active sites of magnesium oxide can inhibit the side reactions in the reaction.

my country is a country with abundant magnesium resources. The total reserves of magnesite are 3.1 billion tons, accounting for more than a quarter of the world’s total reserves. The high value-added utilization of magnesite has become the focus of research.

Since cobalt oxide and magnesium oxide can be used as catalysts in many reactions, and composite metal oxides have many properties superior to single metal oxides, MgO and CoCl2 are used as raw materials to react to obtain the precursor magnesium-cobalt composite metal hydroxide. After calcination, the catalysts with molecular formulas of Mg2CoO4 and MgCo2O4 according to XRD analysis are obtained. The prepared magnesium-cobalt composite metal oxide is a composite oxide with a bimetallic center, which can be used as a catalyst or carrier for certain organic reactions, in which Mg as a base center can inhibit the side reactions in chemical reactions. Co in Mg2CoO4 and MgCo2O4 catalysts and Co in loaded CoO are acidic centers. Since they have unshared electrons, they can obtain electrons from organic matter to promote organic reactions.

According to the polymerization phenomenon of bimetallic ions in aqueous solution, a spatial network of metal hydroxy polymers is formed. This method is simple to operate. Compared with other methods, it retains the original natural structure; it has low requirements for equipment and technology; it does not introduce other additives, and the product purity is high; the cost is low; because the OH- in the solution is gradually released, the morphology of the obtained product is controllable.

Specific implementation methods

The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

1. Basic principle of the present invention

Magnesium oxide dissolves in water to generate hydrated magnesium oxide, which then generates hydroxy magnesium ions. The solution is alkaline. In the presence of more hydroxide ions, a hydroxy hydrated magnesium ion complex is formed.

MgO+H2O→[Mg(OH)]①

[Mg(OH)]++OH→[Mg(OH)2](aq)②

[Mg(OH)2](aq)+OH→[Mg(OH)3]

[Mg(OH)3]+OH→[Mg(OH)4]2–

[Mg(OH)4]2–+OH→[Mg(OH)5]3–

[Mg(OH)5]3–+OH→[Mg(OH)6]4–

In nickel chloride solution, as the concentration of nickel chloride increases, the acidity of the solution increases, and when a certain pH value is reached, a hydroxyl hydrated nickel ion complex is formed,

Co2++H2O→[Co(OH)]++H+………………⑦

[Co(OH)]++H2O→[Co(OH)2](aq)+H+………………⑧

[Co(OH)2](aq)+H2O→[Co(OH)3]+H+………………⑨

[Co(OH)3]+H2O→[Co(OH)4]2-+H+………………⑩

Using the different acidity and alkalinity of the two, under a certain proportion and a certain pH value of the solution, a magnesium cobalt water and hydroxyl polymer with a spatial network structure is formed.
