Background technology
Aziridine is a kind of important fine chemical product, can be used for making dyestuff, agricultural chemicals, photosensitive material, softening agent, medical product or the like, and aziridine derivative and polymine have extensive use in fiber industry, also can be used for wastewater treatment etc.The initial industrial making method of aziridine is a liquid phase method, is raw material with the MEA, adopts the concentrated sulfuric acid as dehydrating agent.Need to add a large amount of concentrated bases in the reaction, cost is higher and produce a large amount of useless inorganic salts by-products, has caused the serious environmental pollution.Therefore catalytic dehydration generation aziridine method has caused extensive concern in the monoethanolamine gas-solid phase molecule.
Japan Patent JP5010593/1975 has proposed dehydration method synthesizing ethylene imines in the MEA catalytic molecular, and it mainly adopts the W oxide as catalyst, and co-catalyst is: one or more in Li, Mg, Sn, Bi, Mn, Ni and the Al oxide; U.S. Pat 4301036 has also been reported the use of catalyst in the aziridine preparation that tungsten oxide and Si oxide are formed.U.S. Pat 4289656,4301036,4337175,4358405, proposed in 4376732,4477591 with niobium (Nb)/tantalum (Ta) oxide and alkaline earth oxide with (or) iron/chromated oxide is as the method for Catalyst Production the aziridine type compound.
Above-mentioned catalyst is used for the MEA reaction, and conversion ratio is very low mostly; Even minority catalyst conversion ratio is higher, but, the selectivity of purpose product the aziridine type compound is reduced greatly owing to the generation of deaminizating and intermolecular condensation side reaction increases accessory substance; This type of catalyst is unfavorable for suitability for industrialized production because inactivation comparatively fast causes service life short simultaneously.
European patent EP 227461 has been reported a kind of siliceous composite oxide catalysts, European patent EP 228898 and EP230776 have reported the application in the dehydration in the alcamine compound catalytic molecular of a kind of phosphorous composite oxide catalysts, the use of these catalyst can solve and generate the problem that by-product is more and catalyst life is not long in the alcamine compound gas phase catalysis molecule inner dewatering reaction, but because by-product carbonyls (as: acetaldehyde) in the reaction and amine (as: ethamine) can react with the raw alcohol aminated compounds, the alcamine compound amount that causes participating in dehydration reduces, particularly carbonyls easily with alcamine compound addition reaction generation schiff bases (Schiff) compounds, influenced the further raising of aziridine product selectivity, so still need improve.
The zeolite molecular sieve that world patent WO8905797 once proposed with alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal dipping is the method for the alcamine compound intramolecular dehydration production the aziridine type compound of catalyst, but the MEA conversion ratio is very low in the example of its production aziridine, the weight selectivity of aziridines compound is up to 65%, but corresponding weight conversion ratio has only 1%, and the easy inactivation of this catalyst, be unfavorable for suitability for industrialized production.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to, develop a kind of new modified zeolite catalyst, be used for MEA or alcamine compound catalyzed gas molecule inner dewatering reaction,, satisfy industrial needs to improve the yield and the selectivity of synthesizing ethylene imines or the aziridine type compound.

The ZSM-5 zeolite, mean molecule quantity in 60 (because the present invention all selects silica-rich zeolite for use, calculate for convenience, its molecular weight is in the silicon dioxide molecules amount), can select in the existing commercially available prod any one for use, also can prepare (as adopting reported method in the following document: VP Shiralkar, AClearfield according to known method, Zeolites 9:363-370,1989; RAiello, F Crea, A Nastro, C Pellegrino, Zeolites 7:549-553,1987; BM Lowe, JRD Nee JL Casci, Zeolites 14:610-619,1994).The ZSM-5 zeolite can be preferably Hydrogen for Hydrogen or sodium type.The optional scope of silica alumina ratio is 25 to infinity, but consider silica-rich zeolite at high temperature stability increase and reduce gradually with silica alumina ratio, so the preferred range of silica alumina ratio is between 25-300.
Component X can be selected from oxide, hydroxide, halide or the salt (for example its nitrate, carbonate, sulfate etc.) of alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal.
Component Y can be selected from phosphoric acid (for example orthophosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, phosphorous acid or polyphosphoric acid), phosphate (for example, ammonium phosphate, diammonium hydrogen phosphate, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP), sodium phosphate etc.), phosphorus pentoxide, boric acid or boron oxide.
Also can use element X and the formed salt of various phosphoric acid source as component X and phosphorus.
