Summary of the invention
The technical issues that need to address of the present invention are the synthetic methods that disclose a kind of tripentaerythritol, the present invention is a raw material with formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, dipentaerythritol or tetramethylolmethane, under the effect of solid catalyst, carry out the synthetic of tripentaerythritol, its synthesis yield is the highest brings up to 39%, overcoming a large amount of organic solvent and the lower defectives of synthesis yield of severe reaction conditions, needs that prior art exists, and avoided the environmental pollution of using sodium hydroxide liquid to cause.
Technical scheme of the present invention:
The synthetic method of the said tripentaerythritol of the present invention comprises the steps:
(1) mixing solutions with acetaldehyde and formaldehyde adopts the mode that drips to add in the mixture of entry, tetramethylolmethane and/or dipentaerythritol and solid catalyst, carry out the building-up reactions of tripentaerythritol, temperature of reaction is 10~80 ℃, and the reaction times is 1~15 hour.Its reaction formula is as follows:
When temperature of reaction was higher than 80 ℃, the by product that the reaction of acetaldehyde self-polymerization generates increased, and energy consumption increases; With the concentration difference of material, acetaldehyde transforms required time fully and also changes thereupon.
(2) after the first step reaction finishes, reaction mixture is taken out, add acetaldehyde, formalin remaining in the heat extraction reaction solution, under the hydrogenation catalyst effect, carry out the hydrogenation reduction of aldehyde radical, said hydrogenation catalyst is 2~5wt% gac for Pt content, reacts 1~3 hour.
(3) after reaction finishes, adopt conventional method, from reaction product, collect tripentaerythritol as evaporative crystallization etc.
Said solid base catalyst comprises magnesium oxide, calcium hydroxide, hydrated barta, rare-earth element modified MgO or Al
2O
3, alkali-metal oxyhydroxide or alkaline-earth metal the MgO or the Al of oxyhydroxide modification
2O
3In a kind of.Wherein: the oxyhydroxide of rare earth element, alkali-metal oxyhydroxide or alkaline-earth metal and MgO, Al
2O
3Ratio be 0.5wt%~50wt%.The rare earth element of being addressed comprises praseodymium, lanthanum or cerium.
By in the optimized technical scheme of the present invention, the mol ratio of catalyzer and acetaldehyde is 0.5~10.Be lower than 0.5 o'clock speed of response, long reaction time, the by product that is higher than reaction in 10 o'clock increases.
In the optimized technical scheme of the present invention, in order to improve the yield in three seasons, can in water and mixture of catalysts, add tetramethylolmethane, dipentaerythritol, the dipentaerythritol of adding and the mol ratio of acetaldehyde are controlled between 0.5: 1~2: 1, and the tetramethylolmethane of interpolation and the mol ratio of acetaldehyde are controlled between 0.5~4;
In the preferred scheme of the present invention, the time that drips the mixing solutions of acetaldehyde and formaldehyde in the mixture of water, tetramethylolmethane and/or dipentaerythritol and solid catalyst is controlled at the 1/4-1/2 of total reaction time, unsuitable too fast, otherwise the by product that the acetaldehyde self-polymerization produces increases.The long reaction of dropping time not exclusively.Lower formaldehyde instantaneous concentration in the maintenance system, dropping can be that continous way also can be a pulsed;
Used formaldehyde is 27~37% the aqueous solution, or the miscellany of polyoxymethylene and water, acetaldehyde is the aqueous solution of 10-60%, dipentaerythritol is other commodity of technical grade, or the thick product of the dipentaerythritol that recycles, or the synthetic product solution after the separation dipentaerythritol;
Under above-mentioned processing condition, the selectivity height of tripentaerythritol, its synthetic yield can reach more than 30%.The tetramethylolmethane yield can be controlled between the 25-75%.The dipentaerythritol yield can be controlled between the 10-25%.Can carry out the control of product yield according to the requirement in market.
The raw material of this technology is cheap, the temperature of reaction less energy-consumption is little, adopt the feeding mode of new formaldehyde by (1): promptly a part of formaldehyde or whole formaldehyde adopt the mode that drips, the solid catalyst that (2) use rare earth element is modified and the MgO and the Al of solid alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides modification
2O
3Catalyst series; (3) add monopentaerythritol or dipentaerythritol; (4) adopt the two-part reaction to make the yield of tripentaerythritol far above 18% level of similar technology.
This technology solid alkali as a catalyst can recycle, and has eliminated the effect of liquid base sodium hydroxide, can directly carry out on traditional tetramethylolmethane production equipment, has excellent industrial application foreground.
