Technical field
The present invention relates to the synthetic method of a kind of softening agent tributyl acetylcitrate (ATBC), particularly relate to the integration synthesis process of the immobilized sulfuric acid catalyst synthesizing acetyl tributyl citrate of a kind of gac, belong to chemosynthesis and technology field.
Background technology
Traditional plasticizer phthalic acid ester class may be brought out carcinogenic, and the restriction of abroad having made laws is used.Tributyl acetylcitrate (ATBC) is as " green " environment-friendly plasticizer, having obtained U.S. food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval uses, there is nontoxic, tasteless, anti-mildew, the advantage such as plasticizing effect is good, cold-resistant, fast light, water-fast, volatility is little, be widely used in the fields such as food product pack, medical article, toy for children, become the first-selected product that substitutes phthalic ester plasticizer.
ATBC domestic market vacancy is huge at present, the synthetic traditional method of ATBC is to take the homogeneous system that vitriol oil etc. is catalyzer, although homogeneous system excellent catalytic effect, but also have obvious shortcoming: by product is many, equipment corrosion is serious, catalyzer is difficult for and raw material and product separation, need a large amount of alkali lye to neutralize and wash, aftertreatment is complicated, and " three wastes " discharge is large, contaminate environment.ATBC preparation technology of the prior art, is first that to take (hydration) citric acid and propyl carbinol be raw material, under catalyst action, through esterification, neutralization, washing, de-alcohol and water, decolouring, makes tributyl citrate (TBC) finished product; And then make ATBC finished product through acetylize, depickling, neutralization, washing, dehydration, decolouring.This complex technical process, production cycle length, product loss are large, facility investment is large, " three wastes " quantity discharged is large, contaminate environment.
Therefore,, for overcoming the shortcoming of homogeneous system and complex process, research solid acid catalyst and succinct technique are significant to exploitation tributyl acetylcitrate.
CN201010583409.2 discloses a kind of method of synthesizing citric acid tri-n-butyl, in ester building-up process, with gel starch base carbon-based solid acid as catalyst, after reaction finishes, catalyzer is filtered out from reaction mixture, through processing such as washing, alkali cleaning, distillations, can obtain tributyl citrate.The method of preparing gel starch base carbon-based solid acid is, 10g starch is added in the water of 50ml, after 70 ℃ of heated and stirred 4h, obtain starch gel, starch gel is placed in to 85 ℃ of baking ovens to be dried, after finally adding 5g hydroxyethylsulfonic acid to be uniformly mixed, be placed in silica tube retort furnace, logical nitrogen replacement air wherein, in nitrogen atmosphere, be heated to carry out at 200 ℃ carburizing reagent 12h, obtain the solid of black, until solid cooled after room temperature, add 80 ℃ of above hot water to wash, and filter, until filtrate clarification does not have acidity, the baking oven that again solid is placed in to 120 ℃ is dried 1 day, obtain preparing gel starch base carbon-based solid acid.
CN201010535730.3 discloses a kind of Catalysts and its preparation method for the synthesis of tributyl citrate, it is carrier that described catalyzer be take strongly-acid mesoporous material prepared by hydrothermal synthesis method, on mesoporous material carrier with the mode chemical bonding acidic ion liquid of finishing, mesoporous material is mesoporous silicon, mesoporous zirconium or mesoporous titanium, and acidic ion liquid is the ionic liquid that contains phosphate radical or sulfate radical.Use this catalyzer citric acid transformation efficiency 90~99%.
CN200610024372.3 discloses a kind of method that tributyl citrate is prepared in heterogeneous catalysis, it is in ester building-up process, to take carbon back sulfonic acid as catalyzer, the preparation process of carbon back sulfonic acid, that the vitriol oil of 8~15ml is added in 10~15g C 9 fraction of cracking, 200~250 ℃ are carried out reacting by heating 3~5h, then add boiling water to reflux and stir 2~4h, suction filtration, 130~150 ℃ of oven dry, obtain carbon back sulfonic acid.
CN200810195075.4 and CN200510030100.X make the synthetic TBC of catalyzer with rare-earth salts and the composite solid acid of organic acid and mesopore molecular sieve respectively.
Disclosed technical scheme in above-mentioned patent documentation, its catalyzer building-up process is complicated, esterification by filtering, the aftertreatment such as water (alkali) is washed, distillation can obtain tributyl citrate.For obtaining ATBC, in prior art, be that technical process is long by the TBC crude product making further acidylate under the katalysis such as the vitriol oil, tosic acid, thionamic acid, complicated operation, product yield is low.
