Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of producing ethylene glycol, specifically, produce the method for ethylene glycol through dimethyl oxalate two-step approach with coal based synthetic gas.
Background technology
Ethylene glycol (EG), as a kind of important Organic Chemicals, is widely used in producing the industries such as trevira, frostproofer, lubricant.Synthesizing glycol has kinds of processes route, is industrially at present mainly oil ethene route.Along with the day by day scarcity of petroleum resources, more and more come into one's own by the exploitation of coal based synthetic gas preparing ethylene glycol operational path.
Two steps are divided into: CO oxidative coupling synthesizing dimethyl oxalate and dimethyl oxalate shortening preparing ethylene glycol by synthetic gas indirect synthesis ethylene glycol.Dimethyl oxalate (DMO) is important intermediates.The synthetic route of DMO mainly contains two: Article 1 route generates by methyl alcohol and oxalic acid esterification, there is waste discharge amount large, the shortcoming that environmental pollution is serious; Another route is that linked reaction under palladium system or platinum group catalyst generates by CO and methyl nitrite.Because Developing Coal Chemical Industry is in recent years rapid, Article 2 route causes the extensive concern of especially Chinese researcher and enterprise both at home and abroad through the intermediate steps of synthetic gas preparing ethylene glycol as coal, CO is at loading type Pd/α-Al

At present, in existing technique, generally first adopt methanol absorption, after methyl alcohol, DMC and DMO being separated, the technique of variable-pressure rectification double tower or extracting rectifying double tower separation of methanol and DMC obtains pure DMO product again, and namely purification DMO need come through the technique of alcohol wash tower, alcohol recovery tower and rectifying tower.
The patent US4453026A of Ube company discloses and CO and nitrous acid (first or second) ester is reacted under platinum group noble metal catalyst, by the row condensation of reaction product limit, is separated and obtains phlegma and non-condensable gas.Adding a certain amount of methyl alcohol in the process of condensation avoids oxalic acid two (first or second) ester to be mixed into non-condensable gas and Crystallization Plugging equipment.Phlegma enters elementary rectifying tower, obtains thick oxalic acid two (first or second) ester product.
In document CN101993367A, CN101993365A, CN101993369A, CN101993361A, CN101492370A and CN101381309A, the reaction product of CO and nitrous acid ester will obtain gas phase overhead product and liquid phase overhead product through gas-liquid separation, then the liquid phase distillate containing barkite is carried out separating-purifying again and obtains thick product.Scrubber tower is separated DMO with the flow process of DMO rectifying tower to adopt primary flash to add in document CN202643601, because scrubber tower low-temperature methanol is washed, causes dimethyl oxalate at crystallization inside tower.
Disclose CO and methyl nitrite contact with platinum group noble metal catalyst in document CN101462961A and react, obtain the product of DMO and methylcarbonate.Product is entered in condenser and carry out contacting with methyl alcohol and condensation, obtain non-condensable gas and phlegma, containing DMO, methylcarbonate, methyl-formiate and methyl alcohol in phlegma.Phlegma is entered distillation tower distill, tower top obtains the azeotrope of methylcarbonate and methyl alcohol, and tower reactor obtains the material containing DMO.The method flow process is complicated, and has relatively high condensation point due to dimethyl oxalate, can crystallize out, finally block condenser in condenser wall.
In a word, in prior art, coupled product all first enters down-stream again through cooling, and technical process is complicated; Dimethyl oxalate is easy crystallization in e-quipment and pipe, and for preventing occluding device and pipeline, need be incubated or accompany heat, energy consumption is high; Meanwhile, have impact on the yield of dimethyl oxalate at e-quipment and pipe intercrystalline, thus have impact on the yield of the finished product ethylene glycol.
