Technical field
The invention belongs to the coal field of fine chemical, relate to a kind of method of extracting high-purity beta-methylnaphthalene and indoles, be specifically related to a kind of method of extracting simultaneously high-purity beta-methylnaphthalene and indoles from coal tar.
Background technology
Beta-methylnaphthalene is a kind of important Organic Chemicals, can be widely used in to produce textile auxiliary agent, lubricant and plant-growth regulator, and highly purified beta-methylnaphthalene is the raw material of synthesise vitamins K class medicine and fodder additives.Natural beta-methylnaphthalene is mainly contained in coal tar, and content is about 1~1.5%, and in mainly concentrate on wash oil fraction (content approximately 8.8%) and fraction of naphthalene oil (content approximately 5.5%).
Because differing, beta-methylnaphthalene and alpha-methyl-naphthalene boiling point only have 3 ℃, while and indoles generation azeotropic, so extract the industrial applications of high-purity beta-methylnaphthalene seldom always, the low indoles beta-methylnaphthalene product that domestic real industrialization at present is purified to more than 97% almost only has one of Baoshan Iron ﹠ Steel Co., Ltd, other family concentrates on lab scale and experimental study stage, but the production technology of Baoshan Iron ﹠ Steel Co., Ltd exists pollution larger on removal indoles technique at present, the problems such as equipment corrosion also can't be extracted the indoles product simultaneously simultaneously.
The method of producing at present beta-methylnaphthalene both at home and abroad mainly contains:
The isomerization method, this method comprises azeotropic distillation, hydrogenating desulfurization, rectifying and isomerization four major parts.Theoretically, the method is considered comparison system, first remove nitrogenous compound with azeotropic distillation, hydrogenation is removed sulfocompound, other component is removed in rectifying again, heptamethylnonane is removed in isomerization, but the very large problem of its existence is can't realize industrial, even particularly isomerization technique does not obtain satisfied achievement at laboratory stage at present yet.
The azeotropic distillation combination process: the method is to obtain methylnaphthalene after with coal tar wash oil rectifying under normal reduced pressure; Then add 10%~20% sulfuric acid in methylnaphthalene, remove quinoline; Add a certain proportion of heptane and thanomin again in the methylnaphthalene component, remove indoles; After alkane is removed in distillation, add entrainer ethylene glycol, carry out rectifying under reduced pressure, pressure is 0.05MPa, and reflux ratio is 10~15:1, cuts 200~210 ℃ of cuts, and the methylnaphthalene of collecting carries out rectifying again and just obtains the beta-methylnaphthalene sterling.The method can obtain the higher product of purity, substantially represented present domestic isolation technique level, but it exists step too much, and the step of the contaminate environment such as pickling is arranged, and can't obtain simultaneously the deficiency of indoles, there is no the example of industrial application.
Recrystallization method: obtain content greater than 80% beta-methylnaphthalene cut with rectificating method, low temperature crystallization then, then carry out suction filtration or centrifugal obtains purity greater than 95% beta-methylnaphthalene.This method is used to some extent in little washing oil source mill, its technique is take industrial beta-methylnaphthalene as raw material at rectifying tower, obtain content greater than 80% beta-methylnaphthalene cut, low temperature crystallization in crystallizer tank, then the whizzer of packing into is centrifugal obtains content greater than 95% beta-methylnaphthalene, but indoles content is greater than 1%.This technique can only be carried out in the season below 20 ℃ at temperature, and labor strength is large, is only suitable in small-scale production.
Indoles is a kind of important fine chemical material, is widely used in the fields such as medicine, agricultural chemicals, spices, foodstuff additive, dyestuff.Natural indoles is substantially all to extract from coal tar fractional distillation, and the method for indoles mainly contains chemical separation technique and physical sepn two general orientation:
Chemical separation technique be to enrichment add basic metal potassium in the coal tar wash oil cut of indoles, the pharmaceutical chemicalss such as sodium or caustic alkali, sulfuric acid make it and indoles generation chemical reaction, after isolating reaction product, the more treated indoles product that obtains.The main drawback of chemical separation technique is that the yield of indoles is low, and technical process is long, periodical operation is many, is difficult to realize mechanize, automatization, contaminate environment.Institute thinks that to seek the indoles yield high, and simple process is easy to realize industrialized method, and the emphasis of research has been transferred to the physical chemistry separating technology.
The physical chemistry separating technology has abroad been reported a few days ago mainly contains highly efficient distilling-azeotropic distillation, extraction-azeotropic distillation, preparation stratography, meat or fish and gets-techniques such as rectifying.
Highly efficient distilling-azeotropic distillation technique: raw material with dephenolize, take off pyridine, take off the coal tar light oil wash oil fraction of acenaphthene, 230~275 ℃ of boiling ranges contain indoles 3%.Highly efficient distilling is decompression operation.Entrainer is mainly for separating of indoles and biphenyl, because both boiling point only differs and only differs from 1 ℃, the isolated indoles cut of azeotropic distillation gets the product of 44.9~51.3 ℃ of fusing points through recrystallization.Entrainer can be recycled through refining.This method still is in the lab scale stage in China.
Extraction-azeotropic distillation technique: the difference of this method and highly efficient distilling-azeotropic distillation technique is to have replaced highly efficient distilling with the extraction cells operation, can reduce facility investment.Raw material is 230~234 ℃ of boiling ranges, contain the coal tar wash oil cut of indoles 6%~7%.Extraction agent ethylene carbonate.Azeotropic distillation carries out in theoretical stage number is 30 tower.Entrainer is selected n-tridecane hydrocarbon, n-tetradecane hydrocarbon, tetrahydro-acenaphthene, decahydro acenaphthene, hexahydro-fluorenes etc.The yield of this method indoles and purity are respectively more than 95%, 98%.
Preparation stratography technique: utilize the absorption agent in solid phase carrier that indoles is separated with the difference of other impurity retention time, this technique is applicable to small-scale production.
Extraction-rectification technique: the extraction process take heptane-single ethylol amine as extraction agent.The distinguishing feature that adopts heptane-single ethylol amine to make extraction agent is that selectivity is high.Can directly make raw material with the coal tar wash oil cut that contains indoles 1%-5%, but the shortcoming that it exists is also not realize industrialized report, can't extract simultaneously the beta-methylnaphthalene product.
Highly efficient distilling-azeotropic distillation of mentioning in patent of the present invention extracts the method for high-purity beta-methylnaphthalene and indoles simultaneously, be different from above-mentioned any method, its ingredient requirement is all lower than above-mentioned any method, and product is better than it, and suitable industrialized production.Special needs to be pointed out is: the method has significant difference with " highly efficient distilling-azeotropic distillation technique " above reported, is that mainly the kind of entrainer is different with application target.The method has not yet to see related documents or patent report.
