Description

A kind of preparation method of dialkyl ether
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of dialkyl ether.
Background technology
Oil, coal, Sweet natural gas are the world's three big pillar energy.Along with developing rapidly of world car industry, the consumption of gasoline/diesel oil constantly increases, and the problem of environmental pollution that the oil product burning causes is also serious day by day.Conventional gasoline additive lead alkylide toxicity is big, the ejecta serious environment pollution.Along with the continuous enhancing of people's environmental consciousness and the increasingly stringent of environmental requirement, the raising of quality of gasoline is all attached great importance in countries in the world.Western developed country just comes into effect the unleaded gasoline scheme from the eighties in 20th century, most countries all bans use of leaded up gasoline at present, China is implementing also to have carried out unremitting effort aspect the unleaded gasoline, issued in September, 1998 " stopping the notice of the automobile-used doped fuel of production and sales about time limit ", require from July 1st, 2000 the start-stop shotpin sell and use doped fuel.In order to guarantee the smooth implementation of these policies, domestic vast researcher has been developed a series of stop bracket gasoline additives through secular effort, the clean gasoline of China is enhanced and develops.
Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), tert amyl methyl ether(TAME) (TAME), Di Iso Propyl Ether (DIPE), Ethyl Tertisry Butyl Ether ether compounds such as (ETBE) have the octane value height, and be good with the gasoline mutual solubility, low toxin and enjoy favor.Especially methyl tertiary butyl ether, having that boiling point is low, oxygen level is high, be in harmonious proportion the high performance that obviously is better than other ethers of octane value, be called third generation petroleum chemicals abroad, is recent two decades sales volume maximum, chemical with fastest developing speed is used for gasoline dope in a large number.The gasoline that contains 10% methyl tertiary butyl ether can make fuel descend 6.8%, and production cost saves about 21%, and can reduce the quantity discharged of automobile exhaust pollution thing.Since first 10 tons of/year MTBE device of Italy in 1973 were constructed and put into operation, countries in the world MTBE development rapidly.2005, the ultimate production of world's methyl tertiary butyl ether was 2,500 ten thousand tons, and the U.S. is the main consumption area in the whole world, accounts for 56% of the whole world, and Europe accounts for 18%, and South America accounts for 7%, and the Middle East accounts for 6%, and other area, Asia accounts for 13%.China from nineteen eighty-three Qilu Petrochemical build up 5500 tons of/year methyl tertbutyl ether production equipments of first cover and play the present whole nation nearly 40 cover production equipments are arranged, and annual production only is about 1,600,000 tons.3,800 ten thousand tons/year of China's year petrol consumptions calculate with mediation amount 10%, need 3,800,000 tons of methyl tertiary butyl ethers every year, the space of developing on a large scale very much in addition therebetween.Particularly along with the fast development of automotive industry in recent years, do not searching out more under the ideal gasoline dope situation, the demand of methyl tertiary butyl ether will improve constantly.
The production technique of synthesize methyl tert-butyl ether mainly is an etherification technology at present, is raw material with iso-butylene in methyl alcohol and the hybrid C 4 promptly, in the presence of strong-acid ion exchange resin, and the catalytic synthesis of methyl tertbutyl ether, this reaction is a reversible thermopositive reaction.According to the concrete grammar difference of building-up reactions, mainly contain fixed bed reaction technology, expanded bed reaction technology, catalytic distillation reaction technology, expanded bed-catalytic distillation reaction technology, mixed phase reaction technology etc.In all etherificate technology, owing to employed catalyzer poor heat stability, short, easy inactivation of life-span in the reaction, this has seriously limited the large-scale production of methyl tertiary butyl ether.
Therefore, on existing etherificate synthesis technique basis, the dewatering agent of catalyst for etherification that preparation high reactivity, catalytic performance is stable or exploitation highly selective is two Basic Ways that solve current methyl tertiary butyl ether composition problem by the synthetic dialkyl ether of dehydration of alcohols method.And the trimethyl carbinol and methyl alcohol are through the method for intermolecular dehydration synthesize methyl tert-butyl ether; it is 120 ℃ generally in temperature; pressure is under the 2.29MPa; under many metals remodeling zeolite catalysts catalysis of IB, IIB, IVB, VIIB, VIII bunch, carry out; corresponding trimethyl carbinol transformation efficiency has only 68%; MTBE selectivity 74%, this can not be used for extensive chemical industry production far away, and the synthetic of highly selective dewatering agent is the industrialized key of this technology success.
Task-specific ionic liquid (RTILs) be a kind of process to constitute ion liquid positively charged ion carry out functional modification or introduce the functionalization negatively charged ion, in room temperature or be bordering on the molten salt system that is in a liquid state under the room temperature, have the incomparable special performance of a lot of molecular solvent.Along with the widespread use of ionic liquid in every field such as Green Chemistry and chemical industry, compartment analysis, life science, Materials science, design synthetic " demand is specific " (task-specific) or " cutting the garment according to the figure " task-specific ionic liquid (tailor-making) can be satisfied differential responses condition and special reaction environment requirement.
The sulfonate functional ionic liquid at room temperature is a kind of ionic liquid with dehydration, is widely used in esterification, olefin oligomerization, carboxylamine ester synthesis reaction of acid catalyzed reaction, lipid acid etc.And because ionic liquid has non-volatility and selective dissolution power, after reaction finished, product and ionic liquid lock out operation were simple, are easy to suitability for industrialized production.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome problems such as catalyzer poor heat stability in the present etherification technology synthesize methyl tert-butyl ether method, short, easy inactivation of life-span, adopt the trimethyl carbinol and methyl alcohol to prepare the method for corresponding dialkyl ether through the ionic liquid-catalyzed dehydration reaction of acid functionalization.
