Description

From comprising vinylformic acid as the method for removing methacrylic acid main ingredient and target product and the liquid phase of methacrylic acid as secondary component
The present invention relates to a kind of from comprising vinylformic acid as the method for removing methacrylic acid main ingredient and target product and the liquid phase of methacrylic acid as secondary component.
Vinylformic acid is to find directly or for example be used to obtain be suitable for its alkyl ester form to make the polymkeric substance of tackiness agent or a kind of important monomer of super water absorbent polymer (for example referring to WO 02/055469 and WO 03/078378).
Worldwide, the heterogeneously catalyzed partial oxidation method that vinylformic acid is only gone up on technical scale substantially by (two-stage usually) propylene prepares (for example referring to EP-A 990636, US-A 5,198,578, EP-A 10 15 410, EP-A 14 84 303, EP-A 14 84 308, EP-A 14 84 309 and US-A 2004/0242826).Used initial propylene is more highly purified propylene (referring to DE-A 101 31 297).Obtain this pure crude propylene, inconvenient and expensive relatively.It derive from thick paraffinic hydrocarbons usually and generally include different purification phase with the propylene that will form with highly pure isolated in form (referring to DE-A 35 21 458).These purification phase generally include from the alkene except that propylene and neutralize from the secondary component except that propylene, comprise in the secondary component that is included in the thick paraffinic hydrocarbons and separating.
Relevant herein is that propylene is separated from its association propane.Because the physical similarity of two kinds of compounds, thisly remove that especially capital and energy consumption are big.Because the crude propylene that therefore obtains of main amount is used for polymerization (for example preparing polypropylene) subsequently in a large number, (high purity described here is absolutely necessary) and experience high added value, aforementioned removing usually regardless of relevant cost and inconvenience, forms the present state-of-art of industry together with refinery's cracking and steam cracking furnace.Compare with polyacrylic demand, these flow to partial oxygen and change into acrylic acid crude propylene partly for than minor, and are the still acceptable secondary required materials flow of cost of material.
No matter preparing acrylic acid feature by catalyzing part oxidation in this purer propylene gas phase is the purity of available raw material, vinylformic acid is not direct, and especially because parallel side reaction, obtain as the component of the product gas mixture that must therefrom remove it subsequently.
This product gas mixture also comprises not the reactant that transforms fully usually, if the suitable intermediate that does not transform fully and in order to improve heat passage and to guarantee explosion-proof behavior and the extra inert dilution gas of using.
In this file, inert dilution gas is interpreted as showing as inertia under the correlated response condition and every kind of inert reaction gaseous fraction is seen separately, maintenance is preferably greater than 97 moles of % greater than 95 moles of %, or 98 moles of % or the 99 moles of % reactive gas species of chemical transformation not.
Basically the common trait of all relevant therewith known separation method be if suitable after above-mentioned product gas mixture directly and/or is indirectly cooled off, and the vinylformic acid that is included in the product gas mixture is transferred to condensation (especially liquid) phase removing substantially in the step.
This can be for example by absorbing to the solvent that is fit to (water for example, high boiling organic solvent, the aqueous solution) undertaken (about this theme in and/or by part or whole basically condensation (for example fractional condensation), see the document that begins to quote, and document EP-A 13 88 533, EP-A 13 88 532, DE-A 102 35 847, EP-A 79 28 67, WO 98/01415, EP-A 10 15 411, EP-A 10 15 410, WO 99/50219, WO 00/53560, WO 02/09839, DE-A 102 35 847, WO 03/041833, DE-A 102 23 058, DE-A 102 43 625, DE-A 103 36 386, EP-A 85 41 29, US-A 4,317,926, DE-A 198 37 520, DE-A 196 06 877, DE-A 190 50 1325, DE-A 102 47 240, DE-A 197 40 253, EP-A 69 57 36, EP-A 98 22 87, EP-A 10 41 062, EP-A 11 71 46, DE-A 43 08 087, DE-A 43 35 172, DE-A 44 36 243, DE-A 19 924 532, DE-A 103 32 758 and DE-A 19 924 533).Acrylic acid remove also can be as described in EP-A 98 22 87, EP-A 98 22 89, DE-A 103 36 386, DE-A 101 15 277, DE-A 196 06 877, DE-A 197 40 252, DE-A 196 27 847, EP-A 92 04 08, EP-A 10 68 174, EP-A 10 66 239, EP-A 10 66 240, WO 00/53560, WO 00/53561, DE-A 100 53 086 and the EP-A 98 22 88 and carry out.The favourable mode of removing also is described among document WO 2004/063138, WO 2004/035514, DE-A 102 43 625 and the DE-A 102 35 847.
Other are removed vinylformic acid with the known method of prior art from the liquid phase (condensation) that comprises the vinylformic acid target product and obtain separate on described basis and carry out, depend on other by products that except that vinylformic acid, comprise, especially the partial oxidation condition that depends on the special-purpose catalyst that is used for partial oxidation and other selections, the multiple combination by extraction, desorb, rectifying, component distillation and/or crystallization method reaches acrylic acid required purity.When being used for preparing super water absorbent polymer (polyacrylic acid or its an alkali metal salt),, extra high purity requirement is arranged for vinylformic acid because this polymkeric substance is particularly useful for being suitable for the health field of medical science standard.Therefore, most vinylformic acid preparation methods' target is this very economical feasible method that is suitable for the glacial acrylic acid of super-absorbent.
Described conventional vinylformic acid preparation method's characteristic feature is that it comprises mainly due to the high purity of used crude propylene at the most analytically can not detect or analytically inapparent amount formation methacrylic acid by product.Therefore, even following prior art document major part comprises the secondary component analysis of blow by blow, but these documents even none are mentioned methacrylic acid as the possible secondary component of vinylformic acid: WO 98/01414, WO 01/92197, EP-A 648 732, EP-A 1305097, EP-A 14 84 308, EP-A 14 84 309, US-A 2004/0242826, DE-A 103 36 386, WO 02/055469, WO 03/078378, WO 01/77056, WO 03/041833, DE-A 196 06 877, EP-A 792 867, EP-A 920 408, EP-A 10 15 411, EP-A 10 15 410, DE-A 198 38 845, WO 03/041833, WO 02/090310, DE-A 101 22 787, WO 03/041832, EP-A 10 68 174, EP-A 10 66 239, EP-A 11 63 201, EP-A 11 59 249, EP-A 11 89 861, EP-A 12 52 129, WO 01/77056, DE-A 102 35 847, DE-A 102 43 625 and WO 2004/035514.Same statement is applicable to the document that is called specific present state-of-art in above-mentioned document.
On the other hand, the still not mentioned methacrylic acid of formation of will following as secondary component then in acrylic acid preparation of prior art will desirably not followed vinylformic acid especially.This will be especially because owing to be different from the positive induction effect of acrylic acid methyl, the radical polymerization tendency of methacrylic acid is compared the situation of obvious reduction with acrylic acid same tendency.
In other words, when using even only comprise the polymkeric substance of the super suction of vinylformic acid preparation radical polymerization of methacrylic acid with trace, must expect methacrylic acid insufficient polymerization and being retained in as ethylenically unsaturated compounds in the polymkeric substance of formation under the concrete polymerizing condition of selecting, this is problematic in health field is used.The existence of methacrylic acid is impact polymer quality (for example molecular weight distribution, degree of crosslinking etc.) unfriendly also.
Become acrylic acid propylene source at the more economical feasible heterogeneously catalyzed partial oxidation that is used for of searching, also planned to originate in thick propane and in the step of reaction of preceding propylene partial oxidation, make its conversion by homogeneous phase and/or heterogeneous catalytic oxidation dehydrogenation and/or heterogeneous catalysis dehydrogenation, part becomes propylene, and the partial oxidation that uses the latter to be used to be correlated with, from unconverted propane, do not remove it (for example referring to WO 03/076370 with expensive and inconvenient mode, WO 01/96271, EP-A 117 146, WO 03/011804, US-A 3,161,670, DE-A 33 13 573, the prior art of reference in WO 01/96270 and these documents).According to DE-A 102 46 119 and DE-A 102 45 585, it is such that program should be: the separating step that is fit to guarantees that the initial action gaseous mixture that is used for the propylene partial oxidation that obtains comprises the C of minimum degree 4Hydrocarbon is as the impurity of undesired weakening catalyst performance.The shortcoming of this program is that above-mentioned lock out operation is costliness and inconvenient, and is what forbid economically under for some situation that only crude propylene is considered as the vinylformic acid raw material, or only realizes limited separation when they use more economically.
Simultaneously, significantly comprise saturated or unsaturated C 4The thick propane of hydrocarbon can obtain on market especially cheaply, no matter they in the method for the ultrapure thick propane of preparation as saving costliness and inconvenient C in very little available secondary stream or the production process fully at them 3/ C 4Hydrocarbon separates.
Under the discrete situation, this favourable cost of material is the overcompensation downstream reduction for preparing catalyst performance in the vinylformic acid by the partial oxidation heterogeneous catalysis economically then, or the too early requirement that changes for catalyzer.
Can be to depend on for the residue shortcoming of the acrylic acid program of described attracting preparation in addition by corresponding C 4The propylene heterogeneously catalyzed partial oxidation that the hydrocarbon content is upset is with preparation vinylformic acid used catalyzer, and it is attended by because the C that carries out side by side with main propylene partial oxidation 4Hydrocarbon (as iso-butylene and Trimethylmethane) partial oxidation and form the methacrylic acid secondary component has described shortcoming (referring to DE-A 102 19 686, DE-A 33 13 573 and EP-A 297 445).When vinylformic acid comprises C by partial direct oxidation 4Hydrocarbon is as the propane of impurity and when obtaining, and same shortcoming can be depending on used catalyzer and reaction conditions and produces, and for example as EP-A 608 838, DE-A 198 35 247, and document DE-A 102 45 585 and DE-A 102 46 119 are described in detail.Be used for other possible had C of heterogeneous preparation by the acrylate moiety oxidation 4The C of hydrocarbon or their oxidized derivatives 3Precursor is propenal (referring to EP-A 700 893 and EP-A 700 714).
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of from comprising vinylformic acid as the very effective method of removing methacrylic acid main ingredient and target product and the liquid phase of methacrylic acid as secondary component.
Therefore, found from comprising vinylformic acid as the method for removing methacrylic acid main ingredient and target product and the liquid phase P of methacrylic acid as secondary component, it comprises by crystallization removes, vinylformic acid accumulates in the crystal of formation, and methacrylic acid is stayed in the remaining mother liquor.
Said procedure is effective when not mixing methacrylic acid in the crystal basically in vinylformic acid crystalline forming process only.The loss factor A that this is normally relevant with crystallization MASSituation for 〉=15.Loss factor A is interpreted as staying impurity and the ratio of staying the impurity in the crystal in the mother liquor usually and (is expressed as the weight % based on mother liquor total amount or crystal total amount under every kind of situation; For example mother liquor and crystal can and can be measured by subsequent analysis A by centrifugal or be separated from each other substantially fully by centrifugal and/or washing; For this reason, the degree that mother liquor is removed for its total amount greater than 90 weight %, be preferably greater than 95 weight %, or 97 or 98 weight %, or 99 weight % are normally enough).
At acetate (A ES) and propionic acid (A PS) under the situation as vinylformic acid impurity, loss factor is generally≤10 value.In other words, they also mix in the vinylformic acid crystal and only can for example extract from these crystal by the washing that is fit to difficultly.In other words, common need to use poor efficiency and capital-intensive multistage crystallization method are removed in these two kinds of impurity crystallizations from vinylformic acid, as recommended among the EP-A 616 998 for example dynamically and the multistage array configuration of stationary crystallization, except that multi-stage process, require at least one dynamic and at least one stationary crystallization device.Be preferably in (especially referring to WO 03/078378 and WO 01/77056) under the crystalline special boundary condition, form the vinylformic acid crystalline form, therefrom can with comparalive ease acetate and propionic acid be removed by washing with the fused pure acrylic acid subsequently.
AMAS is big more, and to remove methacrylic acid just attractive more in crystallization from vinylformic acid.
Because detailed research, be surprisingly found out that from comprise vinylformic acid as main ingredient and target product and methacrylic acid as the liquid phase of secondary component crystallization remove in the methacrylic acid, even do not have the centrifuge mother liquor/crystalline follow and remove usually with reaching 30 (in a word: 30) and bigger (under the situation that washing tower is removed, this is corresponding at least 〉=100 A MAS, under favourable situation 〉=1000) loss factor A MASYet,, from comprising methacrylic acid as main ingredient and target product, vinylformic acid is removed under acrylic acid reverse situation as crystallization in the liquid phase of secondary component, vinylformic acid loss factor A ASBe generally≤15.These discoveries are unexpected.(fusing point=14 ℃) and pure methacrylic acid because pure acrylic acid (fusing point=15 ℃) have substantially the same fusing point (under 1 bar pressure) (for example referring to R  mpps Chemie-Lexikon), so they are especially unexpected.On the contrary, the more remarkable basically difference of their boiling behavior under standard pressure (vinylformic acid boiling point=141 ℃, methacrylic acid boiling point=161 ℃) and advise that for example methacrylic acid is removed in rectifying.The above-mentioned physics fact illustrates also in acrylic acid crystallization and purification of carrying out usually in the prior art that described vinylformic acid is purified (for example referring to EP-A 616 998) in advance by other thermal separation methods, and vinylformic acid is further purified, and does not have methacrylic acid fully.In this file, there is not methacrylic acid nail base vinylformic acid no longer to detect by vapor-phase chromatography.
Along with above-mentioned experimental result, program of the present invention has been opened and has been prepared in the method for the glacial acrylic acid that is applicable to super-absorbent, removes the possibility of the methacrylic acid impurity that hinders this purposes in single separating step in single crystallisation stage with satisfactory way.
Phrase " comprises vinylformic acid as main ingredient and target product and the methacrylic acid liquid phase P (or gaseous mixture or product gas mixture) as secondary component " and only is intended to the liquid phase P (or gaseous mixture or product gas mixture) that the mol ratio V that refers to at least 3: 2 vinylformic acid and methacrylic acid comprises vinylformic acid and methacrylic acid in presents.Certainly, the V in the inventive method also can be at least 2: 1, or at least 3: 1, or at least 4: 1, or at least 5: 1, or at least 6: 1, or at least 7: 1, or at least 8: 1, or at least 9: 1, or at least 10: 1.When V is at least 15: 1, or at least 20: 1, or at least 25: 1, or at least 30: 1, or at least 35: 1, or at least 40: 1, or at least 45: 1, or at least 50: 1, or at least 60: 1, or at least 70: 1, or at least 80: 1, or at least 90: 1, or at least 100: 1 o'clock, the inventive method also is fit to.
Under the situation of many related application, V will be at least 200: 1, or at least 300: 1, or at least 400: 1, or at least 500: 1, or at least 600: 1, or at least 700: 1, or at least 800: 1, or at least 900: 1, or at least 1000: 1.
Yet, when V is at least 2000: 1, or at least 3000: 1, or at least 4000: 1, or at least 5000: 1, or at least 6000: 1, or at least 7000: 1, or at least 8000: 1, or at least 9000: 1, or at least 10000: 1 o'clock, the inventive method also is important.Certainly the V in the inventive method also can be at least 20000: 1, or at least 30000: 1, or at least 40000: 1, or at least 50000: 1, or at least 60000: 1, or at least 70000: 1, or at least 80000: 1, or at least 90000: 1, or at least 100000: 1.
In other words, when liquid phase P (or gaseous mixture or product gas mixture) comprises the acrylic acid content based on it, only during 10 ppm by weight methacrylic acids, the inventive method especially prepares under acrylic acid situation still significant in technical scale.
In other words, V can for example be 3 in the inventive method: 2-100000: 1, or 2: 1-70000: 1, or 3: 1-50000: 1, or 4: 1-30000: 1, or 5: 1-10000: 1, or 6: 1-8000: 1, or 7: 1-6000: 1, or 8: 1-5000: 1, or 9: 1-2000: 1, or 10: 1-1000: 1, or 20: 1-800: 1, or 30: 1-600: 1, or 40: 1-400: 1, or 50: 1-300: 1, or 60: 1-200: 1, or 70: 1-100: 1.
When liquid phase P comprises at least 10 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 20 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 30 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 40 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 50 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 60 weight % (or at least 65 weight %) vinylformic acid, or at least 70 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 80 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 90 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 93 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 94 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 95 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 96 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 97 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 98 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 99 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 99.5 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 99.7 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 99.9 weight % vinylformic acid, or at least 99.95 weight % vinylformic acid, or even during more vinylformic acid, above-mentioned commentary is especially relevant.
Common mode with the inventive method, based on the acrylic acid amount that is included in the above-mentioned liquid phase P, their methacrylic acid content can be 0.001-15 weight %, or 0.01-15 weight %, or 0.02-10 weight %, or 0.03-7 weight %, or 0.04-5 weight %, or 0.05-3 weight %, or 0.07-2 weight %, or 0.09-1.5 weight %, or 0.1 or 0.15 to 1 or to 0.5 weight %.
Under individual cases, whether the vinylformic acid crystal isolates the total composition that depends on liquid phase P in the process of cooling of the liquid phase P with this composition.According to the instruction of WO 03/078378, this can in addition for comprising 0.5-90 weight %, or 7-50 weight %, or 10-25 weight %, or 10-85 weight %, or 15-80 weight %, or the situation of the liquid phase P of 25-75 weight % water.
EP-A 002 612 for example discloses by adding salt and has eliminated water-acrylic acid eutectic obtaining aqueous acrylic acid solution, and therefore acrylic acid crystallization can even take place (this assist measure also can be used in the inventive method) under low relatively acrylic acid content.
In a similar manner, WO 99/06348 has recommended to add polar organic matter matter (this assist measure also can be used in the inventive method) remove crystalline polypropylene acid from water P before.
DE-A 198 38 845 has instructed when liquid phase P and has comprised>60 to<99.9 weight % vinylformic acid, 0.1-40 during the secondary component that weight % high boiling organic solvent and>0 to 35 weight % obtain in catalyzing propone acid preparation in gas phase, usually vinylformic acid is separated from comprise the liquid phase P that vinylformic acid and boiling point under standard conditions be higher than acrylic acid organic solvent in process of cooling.The liquid phase P that constitutes the DE-A 198 388 45 of presents integral part also is useful for the inventive method, and condition is that they have methacrylic acid impurity of the presently claimed invention.
According to the above, can think that vinylformic acid is comprising 〉=65 weight % vinylformic acid and crystallize out in the process of cooling of pending liquid phase P according to the present invention regularly at least.
Therefore, when liquid phase P comprises 65-99.5 weight %, or 70-99.5 weight %, or 80-99.5 weight %, or 85-99 weight %, or 90-98 weight %, or during 93-97 weight % vinylformic acid, the inventive method especially can advantageously be applied to the liquid phase P of methacrylic acid pollution.This especially works as based on the vinylformic acid that is comprised, the methacrylic acid content is 0.01-15 weight % simultaneously, or 0.02-10 weight %, or 0.03-7 weight %, or 0.04-5 weight %, or 0.05-3 weight %, or 0.07-2 weight %, or 0.09-1.5 weight %, or 0.1 or 0.15 to 1 or to the situation of 0.5 weight %.
