Description

Synthetic gas is produced the method for ethylene glycol
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of synthetic gas and produce the method for ethylene glycol, particularly about by coal or producing synthesis gas from natural gas, synthetic gas is isolated to CO and hydrogen, and CO makes barkite, and the barkite repeated hydrogenation is produced the method for ethylene glycol to the two-step approach of ethylene glycol by synthetic gas.
Background technology
Ethylene glycol (EG) is a kind of important Organic Chemicals, mainly for the production of trevira, frostproofer, unsaturated polyester resin, lubricant, softening agent, nonionogenic tenside and explosive etc., can be used in addition the industries such as coating, soup, brake fluid and printing ink, solvent and medium as ammonium pertorate, for the production of special solvent glycol ether etc., purposes is very extensive.
At present, domestic and international large-scale ethylene glycol production all adopts direct hydration method or the legal operational path of pressurized water, this technique is that oxyethane and water are made into to mixed aqueous solution by 1: 20~22 (mol ratios), in fixed-bed reactor in 130~180 ℃, 1.0 react under~2.5MPa 18~30 minutes, oxyethane all is converted into alcohol mixture, the aqueous glycol solution content generated is greatly about 10% (massfraction), then separate and obtain ethylene glycol with rectification under vacuum through multiple-effect evaporator dehydration concentrate, but production equipment need arrange a plurality of vaporizers, consume a large amount of energy for dehydration, cause the technological process of production long, equipment is many, energy consumption is high, directly affect the production cost of ethylene glycol.Since 20 century 70s, both at home and abroad some major companies that mainly produce ethylene glycol all are devoted to the research of Synthesis of Ethylene Glycol by Catalytic Hydration technology, mainly contain shell company, U.S. UCC company and Dow company, the Mitsubishi chemical company of Ying He, domestic Dalian University of Technology, Shanghai Petroleum Chemical Engineering Institute, Nanjing University of Technology etc.What representative was wherein arranged is the heterogeneous catalysis hydration method of Shell company and the Catalytic Hydration method of UCC company.Shell company has reported that from 1994 quaternary ammonium type acid carbonate anionite-exchange resin carries out the exploitation of EO catalytic hydration technique as catalyzer, obtain EO transformation efficiency 96%~98%, the test-results of EG selectivity 97%~98%, within 1997, develop again the poly organic silicon alkane ammonium salt loaded catalyst of similar silicon dioxide skeleton and the epoxide hydrating process under catalysis thereof, obtained transformation efficiency and selectivity preferably.The UCC company of the U.S. has mainly developed two kinds of hydration catalysts: a kind of is the anionic catalyst be carried on ion exchange resin, is mainly molybdate, tungstate, vanadate and triphenylphosphine complex catalyst; Another kind is the molybdate composite catalyst.In the example application of two kinds of catalyzer, TM catalyzer prepared by spent ion exchange resin DOWEX WSA21, the Water Under that is 9: 1 in the mol ratio of water and EO closes, and the EG yield is 96%.Application molybdate composite catalyst, the Water Under that is 5: 1 in the mol ratio of water and EO closes, and the EG yield is 96.6%.Catalysis method greatly reduces the water ratio, can obtain high EO transformation efficiency and high EG selectivity simultaneously, but also there is certain problem aspect catalyzer preparation, regeneration and life-span, as catalyst stability not, prepare very complex, be difficult to recycle, have also can be in product residual a certain amount of anionic metal, need to increase corresponding equipment and separate.NSC 11801 method synthesizing glycol is by oxyethane and carbonic acid gas synthesizing ethylene carbonate, then obtains ethylene glycol with the NSC 11801 hydrolysis.The US4508927 patent proposes esterification and hydrolysis reaction are separately carried out.The two-step process that the US4500559 of U.S. Halcon-SD company proposes is that the mixture that comes from reactor is through resorber, again with the carbonic acid gas extracting oxyethane under criticality, obtain oxyethane, carbonic acid gas, water mixture contacts synthetic BC with catalyst for esterification reaction such as Organohalogen compounds, sulfohalides, then BC is admitted to hydrolysis reactor, and under same catalyst action, hydrolysis obtains ethylene glycol and carbonic acid gas, and the ethylene glycol yield is up to 99%.Japanese Patent JP571006631 has proposed the EO-EC-EG novel process of industrially scalable, patent Introduction oxyethane and carbonic acid gas esterification are under catalyzer KI exists, 160 ℃ are carried out esterification, transformation efficiency is 99.9%, the selectivity of ethylene glycol is 100%, the standby ethylene glycol technology of NSC 11801 legal system is no matter aspect transformation efficiency and selectivity, or all than current BO direct hydration method, larger advantage is being arranged aspect production process raw material consumption and energy expenditure, be a kind of method maintained the leading position on the ethylene glycol technology of preparing.But this method still be take oil as raw material, and need to again build the ethylene glycol production equipment, this glycol unit to new construction is more suitable, and, on original production unit is undergone technological transformation, is not so good as catalytic hydration favourable.
Document CN101138725A discloses a kind of Catalysts and its preparation method of oxalic ester hydrogenation synthesizing of ethylene glycol, it take metallic copper as active ingredient, zinc is auxiliary agent, the preparation of employing coprecipitation method, but this catalyzer barkite transformation efficiency is lower, there is no the catalyst stability report yet, do not mention the problem that hydrogen effectively utilizes yet simultaneously.
340th~343 pages of document " petrochemical complex " the 36th the 4th phases of volume in 2007 have been introduced a kind of employing Cu/SiO 2carry out the research of hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate to synthesizing ethylene glycol reaction, but there is poor selectivity in this catalyzer, and there is no equally the report of catalyst stability, also do not mention the problem that hydrogen effectively utilizes.
At present, the World oil price fluctuation is larger, and is becoming tight petroleum resources day, and the resource general layout of China can be summarized as few oil, weak breath, the energy general layout of many coals.Development carbon one chemical industry not only can take full advantage of Sweet natural gas and coal resource, reduces the dependence of petroleum import and can alleviate environmental stress, is unusual important field of research.Take synthetic gas as raw material, first separate and obtain carbon monoxide, CO prepares barkite by linked reaction, by preparing glycol by hydrogenating oxalate, is then a very attractive Coal Chemical Industry Route.
