The method of safe vaporphase nitration system nitropropane
Technical field
A kind of alkane vaporphase nitration that the present invention relates to prepares the technology of nitroparaffins, and relating in particular to a kind of is raw material with propane and nitric acid, the method for safe vaporphase nitration system nitropropane in single pass reactor.
Background technology
Propane is nitrated to be important reaction in the chemical industry, and its product has Nitromethane 99Min., nitroethane, 1-nitropropane and 2-nitropropane.Nitroparaffins are as important fine chemicals, it is the critical materials of a lot of high added value medicine intermediates and chemical reagent, nitropropane is Synthetic 2-aminoisobutanol, 2-dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol, N-isopropylhydroxyla and 4, the critical materials of 4-dimethyl oxazoline quinoline etc.The development of fine chemistry industry, the nitrated development of technology of alkane is its guarantee.
Alkane is nitrated to be to introduce nitro on the organic carbon atom, belongs to strong exothermal reaction.The propane nitration processes mainly contains two kinds: a kind of is the nitric acid direct oxidation method, is representative with U.S. solvent company, and its patent US 2905724 is a purpose to produce multiple low-carbon (LC) nitroparaffins.4 operations such as that whole process is divided is nitrated, product reclaims, raw material propane reclaims with nitric acid, nitroparaffins separate and make with extra care.Nitration reaction is finished in adiabatic reactor, 350~400 ℃ of temperature, pressure 1.0~1.2Mpa, the residence time is 1.0~1.2s, and when being raw material with propane, product roughly contains Nitromethane 99Min. 25%, nitroethane 15%, 1-nitropropane 20%, 2-nitropropane 40%.Look raw material and reaction conditions and different, depend primarily on the formation of low-carbon alkanes in the raw material.The transformation efficiency of propane and nitric acid is respectively 10% and 98%, and selectivity is respectively 60% and 38%.Another kind is the nitrogen oxide nitrofication process, and by the exploitation of French GP company, mentioning with low-carbon alkanes and nitrogen oxide in patent FR1390523 is main raw material, introduces oxygen enrichment or air oxidant, 280~340 ℃ of temperature of reaction, pressure 1.0~1.2MPa, residence time 10s.As C3H8: NO2: during air=61: 14.5: 24.5, product contains Nitromethane 99Min. 15%, nitroethane 5%, 1-nitropropane 20%, 2-nitropropane 60%.This technology has been cancelled the nitric acid recovery system, shortened the nitration reaction technical process, but owing to need introducing air, reactive system might be in the limits of explosion edge at any time, security is relatively poor, and the transformation efficiency of low-carbon alkanes and nitrogen oxide and selectivity all are lower than nitric acid nitrating technology.
Above publication fails to solve fully nitrated safety issue, and conversion of propane and nitropropane selectivity also have much room for improvement.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of method of safe vaporphase nitration system nitropropane, specific surface area and length-to-diameter ratio by the control single pass reactor, efficiently solve the heat dissipation problem of traditional nitrator, nitrated temperature is along the axial uniform distribution of reaction single passage, make nitration reaction carry out more fully, effectively restrain or reduce the generation of side reaction.Improve conversion of propane and nitropropane selectivity, eliminate the potential safety hazard in the nitration reaction.
A kind of method of safe vaporphase nitration system nitropropane, in single pass reactor, react, reaction mass propane enters preheating pipe via under meter, sends into reacting pipe with the nitric acid that pumps into after mixing duct mixes, control propane and nitric acid mol ratio 1~8: 1; Mixture is realized mass transfer, heat transfer in reacting pipe, finish nitration reaction, and product enters separator; With the reaction product standing demix in the separator, separate organic phase and water, organic phase obtains product Nitromethane 99Min., nitroethane, 1-nitropropane and 2-nitropropane through washing drying.
In the nitrifying process of the present invention, used nitric acid is nitrating agent, and concentration of nitric acid is greater than 50wt%.
