A kind of method of producing polymer grade ethylene glycol and co-producing methyl glycolate
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of extensive be that raw material is produced CO and H with coal, Sweet natural gas or residual oil
2Synthetic gas is produced the method for ethylene glycol (EG) and methyl glycolate (MG).
Background technology
Ethylene glycol is a kind of important chemical industry raw material, is widely used in synthesizing polyester, tensio-active agent, frostproofer and explosive etc., and the world will consume 2,000 ten thousand tons of ethylene glycol every year, is the alcohols material of second largest synthetic after methyl alcohol.Methyl glycolate is a kind of important fine chemical product, is used to produce oxyacetic acid etc.The production method of ethylene glycol mainly adopts ethylene oxy to change into oxyethane at present, and oxyethane hydrolysis again obtains aqueous glycol solution, obtains ethylene glycol through rectifying again, and this method exists the raw materials consumption amount big, energy consumption height, the shortcoming that production cost is high.
Last century the eighties, U.S.'s union carbide corporation and company of Ube Industries Ltd. have developed jointly by CO coupling system dibutyl oxalate, the method for repeated hydrogenation preparing ethylene glycol.The principle of this method is as follows:
The first step oxonation: CO+C

The 3rd step nitrosation reaction: C

This method is with CO and H
2Be raw material, by step synthesizing glycols such as carbonylation, hydrogenation, have the reaction conditions gentleness, raw materials consumption is low, the characteristics that production cost is low, but do not see the industrialization report that this method is follow-up.
Domestic also have how tame research unit carrying out the work of this respect, as (the CN1054765A of Fujian Inst. of Matter Structure, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 1991), (CN1149047 of University Of Tianjin, 1997) and Shanghai coking (CN101190884A, 2008), the work of domestic these units mainly concentrates in dimethyl oxalate (DMO) or the research and development of oxalic acid diethyl ester (DEO) synthetic, yet there are no the patent report with dimethyl oxalate synthesized polymer level ethylene glycol.
Polymerization-grade ethylene glycol is mainly used to synthesizing polyester, because the impurity of trace can produce great effect to the quality of polyester, the aldehyde as 10/1000000ths, ketone compounds will cause the polymerization degree of polyester to reduce, and make product defective.Thereby polymerization-grade ethylene glycol has strict demand to foreign matter content, and its index is equivalent to the standard of premium grads in the ethylene glycol GB, and the standard of China's ethylene glycol sees Table 1.
As seen from Table 1, the premium grads of ethylene glycol and the difference of acceptable end product mainly are the difference of aldehyde and ultraviolet transmittance, and acceptable end product is to these two no standards.The ultraviolet transmittance is the index of two key foreign matter contents in the metering ethylene glycol, and it is similar to the influence of synthesizing polyester and aldehyde, ketone, so strict demand is arranged.
The foreign matter content of the ethylene glycol that present employing dimethyl oxalate method of hydrotreating makes is many more than the oxyethane hydrolysis method, impurity is nearly tens kinds in the ethylene glycol that obtains with the dimethyl oxalate method of hydrotreating, as ethanol, methylcarbonate, 1-butanols, 2-butanols, butyleneglycol, aldehyde, ketone and ester etc., the feasible ethylene glycol purifies and separates difficulty that makes with the dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation method.
The deficiency of existing method mainly contains the following aspects:
1, mostly be the relevant patent of synthesizing dimethyl oxalate in the present disclosed method, fail preparing ethylene glycol by using dimethyl oxalate plus hydrogen is combined consideration, disclosed dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation patent mostly is the catalyzer patent simultaneously.
2, partial monopoly is than the technologies such as raw material gas purifying, methyl nitrite circulate, dimethyl oxalate synthesizes that disclose of system, and its raw material gas purifying adopts the ZnO sweetening agent, and index is outlet total sulfur<1.5 * 10
-6(v/v), this relative noble metal catalyst requires total sulfur<0.1 * 10
-6(v/v), its sulphur content severe overweight will inevitably make poisoning of catalyst and shortens the life-span; H in the high-content CO gas
2Adopt the catalyst of load platinum metals to remove, but fail to mention selectivity of catalyst, not mentioned CO and O
2The CO significant loss that causes of side reaction.
3, the method for in addition patent disclosure has been arranged synthesizing dimethyl oxalate and by-product methylcarbonate, the selectivity of synthetic catalyst fails to reach more than 99%, has increased product separation purification difficulty.
4, produce the technological line of ethylene glycol through dimethyl oxalate, the height of its actual application value depends on that can product ethylene glycol reach polymerization-grade, and is all not mentioned in disclosed method and the document at present.
