Background technology
Nitrous oxide(Nitrous Oxide), also known as laughing gas is a kind of gas with greenhouse effects, is《Discuss in capital of a country
Agreement》One of defined 6 kinds of greenhouse gases.Compared with carbon dioxide, although the content of nitrous oxide in an atmosphere is very low, but
Its unimolecule heats 310 times that potentiality is carbon dioxide.Therefore the effect to Global Greenhouse Effect is more and more obvious, with big
The increase of nitrous oxide concentration in gas, has caused each area of the whole world and the very big concern of country.But industrial adipic acid
Can the substantial amounts of N of by-product in production process2O, directly discharge can cause the heavy damage of environment.
Nitrous oxide is a kind of colourless pleasantly sweet gas, harmless, and is acted on light anaesthesia, mainly as
Medical anesthetic agent, while the accelerator of engine and the oxidant of rocket are can be used for, but the nitrous oxide of these application consumption
Amount is smaller, it is impossible to the nitrous oxide produced by disposing completely in adipic acid production process.To avoid environmental pollution, currently
The industrialized treatment method of most common nitrous oxide is that heating is directly decomposed under catalysts conditions, produces nitrogen and oxygen.
But the method reaction effect is not obvious, high energy consumption during substantial amounts of nitrous oxide, simultaneous reactions, cost are still suffered from after processing
It is high.
Epoxide is a class purposes extremely wide Organic Chemicals and intermediate.The epoxides of light alkene, such as
1,2- epoxypentane is the intermediate of 1,2- pentanediols, and 1,2- pentanediol is a kind of important fine chemical material, is not only
The intermediate of a variety of chemical products is produced, is also the critical materials of synthesizing fungicide propiconazole, the annual whole world of 1,2- pentanediol
Consumption is more than 2000 tons;HEO is also a kind of important fine chemical material and intermediate, is such as used to close
Into novel agrochemical propargite, with high rigidity, high temperature resistant, acid and alkali-resistance unsaturated-resin, light-sensitive material, makrolon and oneself two
Aldehyde etc., it is also growing day by day to it demand with continually developing for 7-oxa-bicyclo[4.1.0 purposes.
The epoxidation reaction of alkene is the important channel of synthesizing epoxy compound.At present, it is industrial often using hydrogen peroxide as oxygen
Source oxyalkylene prepares epoxides, and the reaction is typically that wolframic acid or molybdic acid are loaded into the contracting of DMF dibutyl
It is in the presence of tributyltin chloride that C5-C6 alkene and 2- octenes etc. is anti-with hydrogen peroxide on activated carbon after aldehyde modification
Should.But hydrogen peroxide is low using profit in the course of reaction, while causing corrosion to reactor wall, the cost of catalyst is too high,
And the course of reaction complex process.
CN102442975A discloses a kind of olefin epoxidation method, and this method is in titanium silicon by alkene and hydrogen peroxide
Carry out epoxidation reaction in the presence of molecular sieve catalyst and macroporous strong basic anion exchange resin, the time required to the reaction compared with
It is short, and the conversion ratio of hydrogen peroxide can be up to more than 90%, but the process needs to use substantial amounts of solvent to make hydrogen peroxide and alkene
Molten is a phase, while production can also produce substantial amounts of waste water, waste residue, greatly pollution is caused to environment.
In order to solve the above problems, a kind of new olefin epoxidation method of exploitation is needed badly.
