The method of synthesizing ethylene carbonate and catalyzer
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of synthesizing ethylene carbonate, particularly is the method and the catalyzer of main raw material reaction synthesizing ethylene carbonate with oxyethane and carbonic acid gas.
Background technology
NSC 11801 (being called for short EG), it is in the middle of a kind of fine chemistry industry of excellent property, is potential basic material in the 21 century organic chemical industry industry.NSC 11801 can be used as the solvent of weaving, printing and dyeing, Polymer Synthesizing and electrochemistry aspect.Particularly in recent years, EG is applied to the production of lithium cell and methylcarbonate; Aliphatic polycarbonate and comprise the multipolymer of carbonate monomer begins to be used as biodegradable material, and the research in this field is more paid attention to.
The synthetic report of NSC 11801 starts from the beginning of the eighties of last century, and industrialized compound method the earliest is the phosgene synthesis method, because phosgene has severe toxicity and environment is produced serious pollution, this method is in developed country's use that has been under an embargo at present.Develop ester-interchange method subsequently, the method that promptly prepares by the transesterification reaction of diethyl carbonate and terepthaloyl moietie, this method is little with respect to phosgenation toxicity, and operability will be got well.Though the report about this reaction is a lot, the catalytic effect of the catalyzer of being reported is not very good, and the reaction product yield is not high, and selectivity is relatively poor.
Studied the compound method that mainly concentrates on carbonic acid gas and oxyethane direct reaction generation NSC 11801 since mid-term from eighties of last century; Carbonic acid gas and oxyethane synthesizing ethylene carbonate have at first been realized suitability for industrialized production in the Germany, and early stage compound method all adopts the homogeneous phase method.[Mitsui Petrochemical Industries Ltd.Preparationof cyclic carbonates [P] .US 4880942 such as Yoshihisa K; 1989-11-14.] be catalyzer with earth alkali metal or basic metal; Methylcarbonate is as diethyl carbonate and terepthaloyl moietie or 1, and the surrogate of 2-Ucar 35 is used to prepare NSC 11801 or propylene carbonate.When using sodium hydroxide as catalyzer, reaction 12h under 144 ℃, normal pressure, the yield of NSC 11801 is 88%.The patent of Bayer AG [Wagner, et al.US 5,350,862.1996-04-16] has been described a kind of method that adopts basic metal bromine, basic metal iodine, tetramethyl-amine bromide, tetramethyl-iodate amine catalyst synthesizing ethylene carbonate.Patent [the Birnbach of BASF AG; Et al.US6; 265; 592.2001-07-4] a kind of method through corresponding epoxide and the liquid phase reaction continuous production NSC 11801 of carbonic acid gas in the presence of tetraethyl-amine bromide catalyzer is disclosed, this method is reacted in two steps, and the final product yield can reach 99.5%.Tang Zhanzhong, gold woods be at " study on the synthesis of NSC 11801 " " petrochemical complex " .1996, and 25 (6): be catalyzer then in 409~413 with the KI/PEG complex compound, and the influence to reaction of research different molecular weight PEG; Conclusion is the best results of PEG400 (ECC-1); Close with crown ether, cost but reduces greatly, confirms optimum process condition simultaneously: 120~140 ℃ of temperature of reaction; Reaction pressure 2.5~3.0MPa, ECC-1: EO=(0.006~0.009): 1.China Dong Lian of Taiwan Province chemical company is catalyzer (concentration is 0.5%~2%) with tetraethyl-amine bromide or potassiumiodide, makes solvent with EC, makes EO and CO
2Reaction generates EC under 100~200 ℃, 1~2MPa.Though the homogeneous catalysis compound method has higher catalytic efficiency and raw material availability; But the homogeneous phase method exists that resultant is difficult to be separated, and catalyst levels is big, and can not recycling; The wasting of resources and more serious to environmental stress is simultaneously to the also more high shortcoming of the requirement of catalyzer.
In recent years, investigators focused on again on the heterogeneous method, and the relative homogeneous phase method of heterogeneous method has resultant and catalyzer easily separated, and catalyzer is prone to regeneration and advantage such as can repeatedly recycles.MOBIL OILS [Buchanan, et al.US6,258,962.2001-07-21] has developed a kind of method of in the presence of the porous solid carrier catalyzer of alkaline including earth metal, reacting synthesizing ethylene carbonate through alkylene oxide and carbonic acid gas.Wang Changfeng; Han Sen; Xia Yongde etc. " superpolymer immobilized nitrogenous with contain the preparation and the catalytic activity of phosphine part complex catalyst " " IX and absorption " .1998; 14 (2): 104~109, develop a kind of be used for carbonic acid gas and oxyethane at nitrogenous, as to contain phosphine part functional polymer solid-carried catalyst (through chemical bond and MC1
2Link) there is the method for synthesizing ethylene carbonate down, the carrier of this functional polymer is chloromethylated polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin, and the oxyethane transformation efficiency is 93%, and the selectivity of EC is 100%.[the Sun Yuhan of Shanxi Inst. of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Wei Wei; The Li Qi violent wind; Zhao Ning. the method .CN 02155480.3 of a kind of synthesizing acrylic ester or NSC 11801; 2002-12-16] the solid catalyst method of a kind of novel synthesizing ethylene carbonate of report, this method belongs on the research basis of oxyethane liquid-phase catalyst method for many years through this, develops the oxyethane solid catalyst method that technology more simply adopts the solid catalyst synthesizing ethylene carbonate; This technology also has characteristics such as technical process is short, product is easily separated, be prone to purifying, energy consumption is low except that having the advantage of reaction conditions than homogeneous phase method gentle (temperature of reaction is lower than 180 ℃, reaction pressure and is lower than 8.0MPa).Doskocil E J [Doskocil EJ. [J] .Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, 2004,76 (1-3): 177-183.] is with molecular sieve carried various basic metal of ETS-10 and earth alkali metal.As of the addition reaction of catalyst research carbonic acid gas to propylene oxide.The result shows that the activity of basic metal supported catalyst is higher than the activity of earth alkali metal supported catalyst, and under the same reaction conditions, the ETS-10 catalyzer of caesium load shows the highest catalytic activity.
But the good catalytic effect and the yield of product not only to be arranged as good catalytic production technology; Also to make process economics, practicality, be easy to change into industrial production; Above-mentioned process method only satisfies wherein a kind of or two kinds of conditions; Thereby Many researchers also finds the method for better synthesizing ethylene carbonate in exploration.
