Embodiment
The present invention a kind ofly prepares the method for carbonic ether through electrolysis by carbonic acid gas and alcohol, and it is included in the electrolyzer that comprises supporting electrolyte, organic solvent pure and mild carbonic acid gas is reduced at negative electrode, then with alkylating reagent with the electrolytic solution esterification.
In the present invention, the carbon dioxide as raw material is not particularly limited.Said carbonic acid gas can be by limestone kiln gas, coke combustion gas, heavy oil combustion gas, volatile oil splitting gas, crack crude gas etc. contain in the gas of great amount of carbon dioxide separate, purifying obtains, also can be by dilutions such as rare gas elementes such as nitrogen.But in order not increase the capacity of carbonic ether manufacturing installation, be advisable to use highly purified carbonic acid gas, carbon dioxide purity should be more than 95%, and is preferred more than 99%.
In the present invention, use the diaphragmless cell that comprises metal ring negative electrode and anode bar.Said anode is connected with D.C. regulated power supply with anode.Dioxide gas infeeds in the electrolytic solution through the pressure regulating device that is connected with supply container.
The negative electrode that can use in the present invention must be stablized under reaction conditions.Its representational example is many metallic substance, for example stainless steel, platinum, copper, nickel, titanium, silver etc.Wherein, preferred cathode material is copper, stainless steel, especially preferably copper.
The anode that can use in the present invention comprises the anode that those are processed by the sufficiently stable material under electrolytic condition or the material that in electrolytic process, can be consumed.The representative example of suitable anode material comprises graphite, platinum, copper and magnesium.Wherein, the anode of preferably processing by sufficiently stable material under electrolytic condition, like the anode of processing by platinum or graphite, especially preferred graphite anode.
In the present invention, electrolytic solution comprises alcohol, carbonic acid gas and supporting electrolyte, also comprises solvent.Suitable solvent has aprotic solvent.Its example has methyl-sulphoxide, methane amide, ethanamide, N, acetonitrile, propionitrile, Nitromethane 99Min., Methylal(dimethoxymethane), methyl sulfolane and ionic liquid BMIMBF 4Deng.Wherein, considering from economic and practical angle, is good with organic solvent, and especially with acetonitrile (MeCN) and N, dinethylformamide (DMF) is good.In the present invention, usually using single solvent to be advisable, but for the solubleness that increases supporting electrolyte or increase the solvability of carbonic acid gas in solvent, also can use the mixed solvent of two kinds or more kinds of solvent compositions.
In the present invention, the solvent of use is normally dielectric, and therefore, general other adding supporting electrolyte is to increase the electroconductibility of solution.Suitable supporting electrolyte has tetraalkylammonium salt.The representative example of the tetraalkylammonium salt that can use in the present invention comprises tetraethyl ammonium iodide (TEAI), tetraethylammonium bromide (TEABr), etamon chloride (TEACl), tetraethyl-ammonium tetrafluoroborate (TEABF 4), tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI), Tetrabutyl amonium bromide (TBABr), tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP).Wherein, preferred tetraethyl-ammonium salt, especially preferred tetraethyl ammonium iodide and tetraethylammonium bromide.The concentration of supporting electrolyte can suitably be adjusted according to the electroconductibility of required electrolytic solution.Usually, the concentration of supporting electrolyte is 0.01~5mol/L, is 0.05~1mol/L better, especially being good about 0.1mol/L.

Because electrochemistry is redox reaction, carry out for making reaction, use electronics as reagent.Therefore, through the electric charge of electrolyzer, that is the amount of electronics can influence the degree of carrying out of electrochemical reaction.Because electronics is a kind of reagent, therefore, in case the electrochemical synthesis reaction, will take place through electrochemical cell in it.In the present invention; The electrolysis of passing through as one aspect of the invention is the single electron reduction reaction by the reaction of carbonic acid gas and glycol carbonate synthesis alkylene ester with as the electrolysis of passing through of another aspect of the present invention by the reaction of carbonic acid gas and alcohol preparation linear carbonates; Therefore, being used for electrolytic theoretical electric weight is 1.0F/mol.The phenomenon that can increase along with the increase of energising amount with product productive rate in the reaction of general electrosynthesis is different, when electrolysis electricity during obviously greater than theoretical electric weight productive rate but descend on the contrary.This possibly be because of CO in the electrolysis 2The radical anion CO that reduces and generate 2 -Can generate oxalic acid through linked reaction, along with the increase of electric weight, reaction times lengthening, more CO 2 -Product can coupling become oxalic acid, is unfavorable for generating as the carbonic ether of title product.Therefore, among the present invention, electrolysis electricity is 0.5-2.0F/mol, is preferably 0.8-1.5F/mol.
Among the present invention, " productive rate " speech is meant the electrolysate of actual generation and the per-cent of expected theoretical value." current efficiency " speech is meant when the electric weight through electrolyzer is 1 faraday, the actual electrolysate that generates and the per-cent of expected theoretical value.Wherein, 1 faraday is equivalent to 96500 coulombs.
As first embodiment of the present invention, what the present invention provided that a kind of following formula representes prepares the method for alkylene carbonates by carbonic acid gas and glycol:
