Background technology
The main application of n-propyl alcohol is to be used as solvent and chemical intermediate, is used as the special solvent of flexographic ink, especially for the printing of polyene and polyamide layer.Can be used as the carboxymethylated solvent of fiber in addition, the jelling agent of cellulose acetate and softening agent etc. can be produced n-propyl acetate, di-n-propylamine, propyl alcohol urea etc. with n-propyl alcohol.
Because it is later that domestic mass-producing n-propyl alcohol device is set up, and in output with all be difficult to qualitatively meet the need of market, therefore domestic n-propyl alcohol production technology remains further raising.Adopt the synthetic propionic aldehyde of water-soluble rhodium phosphine catalyst, propionic aldehyde after the rectifying contains the water about 2% approximately, utilize the direct hydrogenation of this moisture propionic aldehyde to synthesize n-propyl alcohol, reduced the propionic aldehyde process for refining, and the water in the propionic aldehyde can play the effect that suppresses the part side reaction, but produces a certain amount of propyl propionate by product inevitably.CN101225018A discloses the removal method of by product propyl propionate in a kind of preparing normal propyl alcohol by propionaldehyde hydrogenation technology, the water formation ternary azeotropic that makes n-propyl alcohol, propyl propionate and mend by an amount of moisturizing when thick propyl alcohol enters distillation system removes propyl propionate in lightness-removing column.This technology will certainly be lost a certain amount of n-propyl alcohol in removing the process of propyl propionate.
CN101225019A discloses the production technique of preparing normal propyl alcohol by propionaldehyde hydrogenation under a kind of copper zinc catalyst, and thick propyl alcohol removes light constituent and heavy constituent respectively through lightness-removing column and weight-removing column, obtains the product n-propyl alcohol.Do not show in this invention that the light constituent that removes is the concrete treatment process of hair oil.
Summary of the invention
Goal of the invention: the objective of the invention is at the deficiencies in the prior art, a kind of method of not losing the output of n-propyl alcohol and will adopt the by product propyl propionate in the preparing normal propyl alcohol by propionaldehyde hydrogenation technology to remove is provided.
Technical scheme: the removal method of propyl propionate in the preparing normal propyl alcohol by propionaldehyde hydrogenation technology of the present invention, the n-propyl alcohol that will contain propyl propionate feeds in the hydrolysis kettle and mixes with the alkaline matter that adds, heating, stir and in the still jacking row continuous still battery of hydrolysis kettle, wherein, temperature in the kettle control is at 95~115 ℃, distillation temperature control in still top is at 90~95 ℃, again still tops n-propyl alcohol carried out condensation, dewatering process obtains highly purified n-propyl alcohol.
Relatively good for distilling effect, one section rectifying section can be set on the top of hydrolysis kettle, still-process carries out in the rectifying section on hydrolysis kettle top.
Alkaline matter of the present invention is preferably sodium hydroxide solution, potassium hydroxide solution, solid oxidation sodium or solid oxidation potassium, can certainly select some other alkaline matter for use, but treatment effect is not best.
The mol ratio of sodium hydroxide described in the present invention or potassium hydroxide and propyl propionate is 1~2:1; The mol ratio of described solid oxidation sodium or solid oxidation potassium and described propyl propionate is 0.5~1:1.Alkaline matters such as certain sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide can add more more, but do not save economically, also can be less a little, but complete inadequately to the processing of propyl propionate.
The concentration of above-mentioned sodium hydroxide solution is preferably 20% to saturated solution, by percentage to the quality.Rarer solution can increase the time of follow-up dewatering process.
In like manner, the concentration of described potassium hydroxide solution also is preferably more than 20% to saturated solution, by percentage to the quality.
The present invention compared with prior art, its beneficial effect is: 1, the inventive method technology is simple, easy and simple to handle, the more important thing is and has improved n-propyl alcohol output, effectively reduces the wherein content of propyl propionate, save lightness-removing column and weight-removing column during n-propyl alcohol is refining simultaneously, greatly reduced energy consumption; The present invention is applicable to hydrogenation of propionaldehyde production n-propyl alcohol technology, also is applicable to the technology that butyraldehyde, valeraldehyde, isovaleric aldehyde hydrogenation are produced correspondent alcohol simultaneously; 2, after the inventive method was handled, the purity of n-propyl alcohol was than higher, and the propyl propionate content in the n-propyl alcohol is reduced to by original about 0.3% ~ 2.5% and is lower than 0.1%, took off the loss that can not cause n-propyl alcohol in the process of ester; 3, the inventive method is applicable to the light constituent in the traditional technology lightness-removing column simultaneously, and it is about 60% to contain n-propyl alcohol in the light constituent that lightness-removing column comes out, propyl propionate about 10%, water about 27% ~ 30%, after the inventive method processing, the content of propyl propionate is reduced to below 0.1%, and the purity of n-propyl alcohol is higher than 99%.
