Production of aliphatic ester utilizes homogeneous and heterogeneous reactive acid catalyst. The process is carried out by taking fatty aid, monobasic alcohol, dibasic alcohol, tribasic alcohol, tetrabasic alcohol, polybasic alcohol and polyethylene glycol as raw materials, and preparing obtaining fatty acid monoester, fatty acid multi-ester, and fatty acid polyethylene glycol. It's simple and cheap, has more yield, friendly reactive environment and no environmental pollution and need for azeotropic solvent.

Description

Esterification of non-solvent aliphatic ester
(1) technical field
The present invention relates to the fatty acid esterification reaction.More particularly, esterification takes place with alcohol in lipid acid under the situation of not using azeotropic solvent exactly, and homogeneous phase and heterogeneous reaction acid catalyst are used in reaction.
(2) background technology
Well-known lipid acid and pure reaction can prepare fatty acid ester, and prepared fatty acid ester is widely used, and is often used in makeup and lubricant.In order to make reaction carry out generally a kind of reactant to the positive reaction direction is excessive.Esterification is generally carried out under mineral acid or organic acid catalysis, such as sulfuric acid and tosic acid.Commercial normally used be the homogeneous reaction acid catalyst.
Industrial also have the method for many production fatty acid esters to carry out in flow reactor or cylindrical reactor.U.S.Pat.No.5008046 discloses lipid acid and the esterification of alcohol in the convection type reactor, and the time of alcohol adverse current in liquid phase is 20min at least, and the pressure of reaction column is 200-900kPa.The mixture of water and oil is by rectifying tower, and fatty acid ester flows out from pillar.No.CN 1504452 discloses the esterification in the post, and what be rich in alcohol enters cylindrical reactor to gas by distiller, and water is discharged pillar as strippant.
Patent DE-A 2 913 218 discloses esterification and has utilized the azeotropic method, and such as the toluene equal solvent is added in the reactant, this solvent can form azeotropic mixture with the water that esterification generates, and takes water out of reaction system, and reaction is carried out fully.
However, the esterification of lipid acid is carried out in the tank reactor at intermittence usually, and uses the azeotropic solvent such as toluene.U.S.Pat.No.119137 discloses a kind of method of the production cetylate that consumes energy little, and the cetylate of being produced is as lubricant.Cetylate is that the esterification by palmitinic acid obtains, and needs toluene as azeotropic solvent.Yet this method comes with some shortcomings, as azeotropic solvent cost costliness, poisonous and not enough environmental friendliness.Product needed is through extra separation and purification in addition.
(3) summary of the invention:
Adding excessive reactant in the esterification reaction process is for reaction is carried out fully, add excessive monohydroxy-alcohol in the solvent-free fatty acid esterification reaction process provided by the present invention, water as butanols and esterification generation forms azeotropic mixture, make that water is easier to be told from reaction system, water constantly divides the esterification yield of sening as an envoy to reach the highest from reactant.Azeotropic mixture presents two-layer in water trap, and the upper strata is an organic phase, and lower floor is a water, and in the reaction process, organic phase can be back to and continue to participate in reaction in the reactor.
Do not use under the situation of azeotropic solvent (as toluene), the esterification of lipid acid is under comparatively gentle temperature and in the short time, the water that uses excessive reactant and esterification to generate forms azeotrope, and water is removed from reaction system, and reaction is carried out to positive dirction.
The present invention is applicable to the alcohol of 4-12 C atom, and the pure boiling point that is less than 4 C is low and water-soluble, is not suitable for solvent-free esterification.4 above alcohol of C can form azeotropic mixture and layering in water trap with water, and organic phase can be back to and continue reaction in the reaction system.Along with the increase of C atomicity, temperature of reaction raises, and the water that reaction generates is easy to tell reaction system, and reaction is carried out fully.
In order to prepare fatty acid poleysters and fatty acid polyglycol second diester, with excess fats acid as reactant, for the water that makes generation steams temperature of reaction system must be greater than 100 ℃, but temperature can not surpass the boiling point of reactant, water is constantly steamed in reaction process, reactant and product are still stayed in the reactor, make esterification yield reach the highest.
Esterification is carried out under homogeneous phase and heterogeneous reaction catalyst, temperature of reaction is at 80-250 ℃, the esterification reaction temperature of lipid acid and monohydroxy-alcohol and isomers is 80-180 ℃, the esterification reaction temperature of lipid acid and dibasic alcohol, trivalent alcohol, tetravalent alcohol, polyvalent alcohol or its isomers or polyoxyethylene glycol is 100-250 ℃, and the reaction times is less than 6h.
Reaction finishes the back excessive reactant removes from the fatty acid ester that generates by underpressure distillation, and the homogeneous reaction acid catalyst is removed by continuous alkali cleaning washing, and then further removes unreacted lipid acid of residue and impurity.
When using the heterogeneous reaction acid catalyst, the separation of catalyzer is very simple, just catalyzer can be separated with product by simple filtering.
