Abstract

The present invention refers to the use as gas odorant of alkoxy alkynes of formula (I) wherein R<1> is methoxy or ethoxy; and R<2> is hydrogen or methyl, to a process of odorizing gas and to fuel gas comprising it.

Description

Gas odorant
The present invention relates to the purposes of alkoxy alkyne, give the method and the fuel gas that comprises them of gas smell-adding as gas odorant.
Because the relative high purity with them in source of fuel gas causes them tasteless basically.Leakage then can not form explosive mixture apace if in time notice with high-risk possibility.For security reason, therefore come to gas smell-adding by adding odorant.For example, in whole European Union area, use the odorant of tetramethylene sulfide (THT), usually as unique odorant as city gas.In the North America, tert-butyl mercaptan is widely used as main odorant, and usually is used in combination with other alkyl sulfhydryl and various sulfide and disulphide.For example, for liquefied petroleum gas, ethanethio is used as odorant.These compounds especially are very suitable for as gas odorant, this be because they have very powerful, make us unhappy and special smell.In addition, because they are used very chronically, therefore, they generally are associated with fuel gas now, therefore satisfy the requirement of special and known gas leakage warning.Yet from the environment aspect, sulphur compound is so unsuitable, and this is because form sulfurous gas in this burning of gas process that adds flavor.In addition, known to changing into H 2During S, sulfur-based compound is poisoned the electrode catalyst of fuel cell, and this causes fuel cell performance seriously to descend.
In order highly to be suitable as gas odorant, the mixture of compound or compound (being composition) must satisfy many requirements.Especially, for fear of obscuring danger, the smell of gas odorant needs:
-enough unusual, so that exist considerably less danger that it is identified as any other smell.It is desirable to, it should be associated with the smell of present gas odorant immediately, this is because they widely-used makes smell identification easily for most of users of this gas.
-have detection threshold than the low several magnitude of the limits of explosion of fuel gas so that have average sense of smell and an average physiological situation everyone can detect this smell.
In addition, gas odorant must be stable under the storage of fuel gas and transport condition.
Carried out that several trials substitute or reduced the use of the sulphur compound of the gas odorant that acts as a fuel at least.For example, DE-A 19837066 discloses the purposes of the mixture of alkyl acrylate and nitrogen compound.The fuel gas odorant that contains alkynes (for example fourth-1-alkynes, vinylacetylene and hexin) and be selected from least two kinds of compounds in methyl acrylate, ethyl propenoate, methyl methacrylate, allyl methacrylate(AMA), ethyl propionate, methyl butyl and the methyl isobutyrate is disclosed in JP-A-55-104393 (summary).The problem of alkyl acrylate is that their smell is very similar to for example some acrylplasticss and paint.
Therefore, continuing needs to seek the alternate odorant, and this odorant is suitable for as gas odorant.Surprisingly, find some alkynes be particularly suitable for acting as a fuel odorant of gas.
Therefore, one aspect of the present invention alkoxy alkyne of relating to general formula (I) purposes of gas odorant that acts as a fuel:
Figure A20058003826300041
R wherein 1It is methoxy or ethoxy; With
R 2Be hydrogen or methyl.
Especially preferred 1-methoxyl group-butylene-3-alkynes gas odorant that acts as a fuel.
The term that in implication of the present invention, uses " gas odorant " can be meant single odor compound or this odor compound mixture the two.
Fuel gas generally is used for perhaps being used for heating, illumination and digestion process by burning generates electric energy in the power station in buildings.They also can be used for generating hydrogen for using by usually being called the technology of " reformation " in hydrogen fuel cell.The term that uses in the application's implication " fuel gas " representative is as any combustible hydrogen or the appropriate hydrocarbon gas of main or the less important energy.They are (25 ℃ of normal pressure and temperatures; 1000mbar) be gas form down, but also can liquid form processing transport and store for convenient.Fuel gas includes but not limited to city or cities and towns gas, Sweet natural gas (comprising its liquefied form), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG, it is the mixture of the alkane that separates and be made up of butane and propane basically) and hydrogen from gasoline.Alkynes, for example acetylene also is suitable as fuel gas.In the application's implication, oxygenated hydrocarbon, for example dme (it can be used as the energy or be used to generate the hydrogen that fuel cell is used by burning) also belongs to the fuel gas class.
Compound of the present invention can use separately or in conjunction with known gas odorant (being sulphur compound and the compound that does not conform to sulphur).Especially preferred and the binding substances of the gas odorant of sulfur-bearing (for example pyrazine) not, the consumption of wherein said pyrazine is preferably maximum 10 weight parts in alkoxy alkyne or its mixture of 100 weight part general formulas (I), more preferably maximum 5.5 weight parts, for example 0.1-5.5 weight part.If combine with sulphur compound, then to preferably include the total amount based on gas odorant be maximum 60wt% to the fuel gas odorant, more preferably 1-30wt%, for example sulphur compound of 1-10wt% or its mixture.
Suitable pyrazine includes but not limited to ethyl pyrazine, methoxyl group isobutyl pyrazine and methoxymethyl pyrazine.In JP-A-08-60167, disclose further suitable pyrazine, be introduced into by reference at this.By The compounds of this invention and more a spot of pyrazine are mixed, can realize even better result.
Suitable sulphur compound includes but not limited to be selected from following compound: C 1-C 4Alkyl sulfhydryl, for example tert-butyl mercaptan and ethanethio; Aryl mercaptan, for example benzyl mercaptan; Organic sulfide and disulphide, for example dimethyl thioether and ethyl-methyl thioether; With tetramethylene sulfide and derivative thereof.
Therefore, the gas odorant that especially preferably comprises following substances:
A) alkoxy alkyne of at least a general formula (I); With
B) at least a pyrazine compound, wherein said pyrazine are preferably selected from ethyl pyrazine, methoxyl group isobutyl pyrazine and methoxymethyl pyrazine; And/or
C) at least a sulphur compound.
In special embodiment, gas odorant comprises the alkoxy alkyne and at least a sulphur compound of at least a general formula (I).
Also can add other vehicle (for example antioxidant) in odorant or directly join in the fuel gas of flavor.Suitable antioxidant includes but not limited to butylhydroxy anisole, 2,5-DI-tert-butylphenol compounds (lonol), hydroquinone monomethyl ether and alpha-tocopherol, 2,6 ditertiary butyl p cresol and tertiary butyl hydroxytoluene.
The further aspect of the present invention is the fuel gas that contains the gas odorant, and described gas odorant comprises:
A) alkoxy alkyne of at least a general formula (I); With
B) randomly, at least a pyrazine compound, wherein said pyrazine are preferably selected from ethyl pyrazine, methoxyl group isobutyl pyrazine and methoxymethyl pyrazine;
C) and randomly, at least a sulphur compound.
In special embodiment, fuel gas comprises the alkoxy alkyne that comprises at least a general formula (I) and the gas odorant of at least a sulphur compound.
The dosage of gas odorant of the present invention in fuel gas depends primarily on the composition of odorant, and can change between about 100ppm 1, preferably between 5 to 50ppm, more preferably between 20 to 40ppm.
In addition, the present invention relates to add the method for flavor to fuel gas, this method comprises that at least a above-described alkoxy alkyne of mixing significant quantity is as odorant.
Fuel gas odorant of the present invention at room temperature is a liquid, and therefore optionally odorant preparation of compositions and mixing odorant/odorant composition all are not crucial in fuel gas.Can use method known to those skilled in the art and equipment.
Refer now to following non-limiting example, further describe the present invention.
