Catalyzed reaction when the content of embodiment 1 different iridium rhodiums and stabiliser content
In the zirconium material autoclave of a 200ml, add entry, acetic acid, methyl acetate, methyl-iodide, Trichlororhodium and iridous chloride.Experiment numbers is 1~9 and to contrast the weight percentage of each reactant feed that adds in 1~4 the reaction system mesohigh reactor as follows: water 8%, methyl acetate 20%, methyl-iodide 14%, all the other are acetic acid, and the consumption of iridium rhodium, stablizer and metallic promoter agent is as shown in table 1.After adding reaction solution 120 grams of above prescription in the autoclave, operate as follows:
(1) off-response still carries out leakage detection with nitrogen to reaction unit.After determining that reaction unit is without leakage point, with slowly displacement twice of CO, then with CO 0.5MPa is arrived in the reactive system pressurising;
(2) start stirring, rotating speed is about 850 rev/mins, and setting temperature controlling system is 190 ℃, heating;
(3) along with the rising of temperature, the pressure of reactive system constantly increases, and when treating that temperature is raised to 190 ℃, opens the pressurising gas circuit of CO, and the reactive system pressurising to 2.8Mpa, is closed the valve of pressurising gas circuit afterwards; Open the CO constant voltage source of the gas gas circuit that the CO flow control is housed, its pressure is 2.8Mpa again; Beginning carbonylation reaction timing, keeping temperature of reaction is 190 ± 1 ℃, reaction pressure 2.8Mpa (gauge pressure), instantaneous delivery and the cumulative throughflow of CO under 1 second and computer record that reactive system links to each other;
When (4) the question response system does not absorb CO, " Quench " carried out in reaction process termination reaction;
(5) treat that temperature is down to room temperature, with nitrogen replacement twice, open reactor, pour out reaction solution and weigh, sampling analysis.
The instantaneous delivery of CO when from record, accessing the CO cumulative throughflow and be 5.2 liters, the content of methyl acetate is about 3wt% in the reactive system at this moment, water-content is about 4wt%, methyl-iodide content 14wt%, iridium, rhodium, the content of stablizer and metallic promoter agent sees Table 1 (wherein, corresponding mass ratio was 2.5: 1: 2.5 when stablizer was siderochrome nickel molybdenum: 1, corresponding mass ratio was 2.5: 1: 2.5 when stablizer was siderochrome nickel, corresponding mass ratio was 1: 1 when stablizer was iron nickel, corresponding mass ratio was 2.5: 1 when stablizer was the nickel molybdenum, and corresponding mass ratio was 2.5: 1 when stablizer was siderochrome).Therefore, when methyl acetate content was 3wt% in reactive system, the STY that calculates with the instantaneous absorbed dose of the CO that is measured represented speed of reaction, and the results are shown in Table 1.
