Description

A kind of method preparing formaldehyde alcoholic solution
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method being prepared formaldehyde anhydrous alcohol solution by formalin.
Background technology
Formaldehyde is a kind of important basic material in Organic Chemical Industry, is widely used in the industry-by-industries such as chemical industry, medicine, weaving, wood working, also can be used for preparing resol, urotropine, tetramethylolmethane etc. simultaneously, and its consumption is annual all in increase.Formaldehyde generally stores in form of an aqueous solutions and transports, and concentration is generally between 37% ~ 55%, commercially available based on 37%.Industrial general use be all the aqueous solution of formaldehyde, but along with development in recent years, some industrial combination only needing formaldehyde or formaldehyde and alcoholic solution, meanwhile also need to remove a large amount of water, this just makes the application of formalin, brings restriction.
Formaldehyde alcoholic solution be a kind ofly also apply less a kind of development of novel reagent in the world at present, but it has very large using value and development prospect.Such as formaldehyde methanol solution can mainly as the raw material of " methylating " urea or terpolycyantoamino-formaldehyde resin.Use formaldehyde methyl alcohol resin not only to make production of resins business no longer need separately to process methyl alcohol, decrease several times must from resin reaction device product the object of Separation of Water.German patent DE 10004562 (2001), introduces the dehydration film that a kind of polyvinyl alcohol of being studied by BASF Corp. of Germany is made, can by containing 20%-65% formaldehyde, 15%-60%C 1-C 5alcohols and 20%-65% water are condensed into containing 49%-70% formaldehyde, 20%-54%C 1-C 5the formaldehyde alcoholic solution of alcohols and 1%-35% water.We consider that formaldehyde is a kind of the simplest carbonyl compound that various polymerization very easily occurs simultaneously, therefore its storing condition has the Liquified gas tanker of self, especially at low temperatures, formalin has the tendency of polymerization, very easily form crystalline deposit, and then make formalin rotten and cannot use.And it is found that the solubleness of formaldehyde in methyl alcohol is larger, the methanol solution containing 55% formaldehyde also can not produce precipitation in room temperature placement, and its essence is exactly play a kind of effect of stopper.
And at present in world wide, the producer of manufacture formaldehyde alcoholic solution is little, Texas, USA is one of manufacturer uniquely few in number.In its formaldehyde methanol solution produced, formaldehyde accounts for 55%, and methyl alcohol accounts for 35%, also has the water of 10%.Therefore, this just prepares formaldehyde alcoholic solution for our R&D and production and brings opportunity.
Above context analyzer shows, formaldehyde alcoholic solution not only can bring very large economic worth, and the demand that simultaneously can solve chemical industry and every profession and trade formaldehyde alcoholic solution does not introduce water simultaneously, avoids the dehydration operation of follow-up complicated procedures of forming.Also play preservation formaldehyde simultaneously, prevent the object of rotten polymerization reaction take place.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention to be to provide with formalin and alcohol as initial feed, prepares the method for formaldehyde anhydrous alcohol solution through various sepn process continuous print.Described alcohol is that described alcohol can refer to C 1-C 12monohydroxy-alcohol, it is represented by general formula R OH, and wherein R represents the group optionally replaced by one or more substituting group, and described group is selected from the alkyl of straight chain, side chain.
The present invention its specifically comprise three steps: first, be formalin (massfraction 0.1% ~ 60%) and C 3-C 8the process of anhydrous formaldehyde alcoholic solution is prepared in the rectifying in rectifying tower of any one alcohol; Secondly, anhydrous formaldehyde alcoholic solution is in the gas-liquid separation of flash tank; Finally, in absorption tower, C 1-C 12the absorption process of any one PARA FORMALDEHYDE PRILLS(91,95) in alcohol.
The present invention first with formalin (massfraction 0.1% ~ 60%) and alcohol for raw material, under the operating parameters conditions such as certain pressure, temperature, reflux ratio, in rectifier unit, carry out rectifying separation process obtains formaldehyde anhydrous alcohol solution; Then be raw material by the formaldehyde anhydrous alcohol solution prepared, under the operating parameters conditions such as certain pressure, temperature, gas-liquid two-phase separation is carried out in flash tank or still kettle, the formaldehyde gas steamed is passed in absorption tower, under the operational conditions such as certain pressure, temperature, carry out the process absorbed with the second alcohol.
Detailed description of the present invention
As mentioned above, formaldehyde anhydrous alcohol solution prepared by the present invention and prepare new formaldehyde alcoholic solution by formaldehyde anhydrous alcohol solution, it specifically comprises following step:
The first step, prepares formaldehyde anhydrous alcohol solution.After first being mixed with alcohol by a certain proportion of formalin, be driven in rectifying tower by pump, wherein alcohol serves the effect of entrainer.Because the alcohol added can form binary azeotrope with water, and azeotropic point is general all lower than the boiling point of formalin (massfraction 0.1% ~ 60%), control certain temperature and pressure, just azeotrope can be steamed from tower top, and after being separated by condenser, phase splitter, the liquid layer being rich in alcohol passes back into tower, and another water layer extraction, finally can obtain formaldehyde anhydrous alcohol solution by tower reactor.If not phase-splitting after the condensation of tower top azeotrope, then pacify certain reflux ratio and reflux, the overhead fraction of extraction can Separation and Recovery alcohol further.
Second step, the separation of formaldehyde anhydrous alcohol solution.The formaldehyde anhydrous alcohol solution prepared by the first step, enters into still kettle, controls certain pressure and temperature, and formaldehyde vaporization in formaldehyde alcoholic solution, just can realize the two-phase gas-liquid separation by formaldehyde and alcohol, tank deck obtains formaldehyde gas, obtains absolute alcohol liquid at the bottom of tank.Formaldehyde gas is passed into postorder flow elements, and alcohol can be got back in the first step rectifying tower, realizes the cyclical operation of solvent and Appropriate application.
3rd step, prepares new formaldehyde the second alcoholic solution.The formaldehyde gas steamed by still kettle, after entering into absorption tower, wherein mainly the second alcohol and formaldehyde gas contact absorption process.In order to ensure that two-phase can fully absorb, adopting gas-liquid two-phase countercurrent flow, and taking suitably to increase vapour-liquid ratio, expand the measures such as contact area, formaldehyde gas as much as possible is dissolved in alcohol.Finally obtain the formaldehyde alcoholic solution of high density.
The formalin that utilizes of the present invention is prepared in formaldehyde anhydrous alcohol solution and new formaldehyde alcoholic solution method for raw material, there are following one or more advantages: (1) raw material formalin (massfraction 0.1% ~ 60%) is more common, of many uses, running cost is low; (2) preparation technology is simple, and quality product is high, easy handling; (3) product of gained is easy to permanent preservation and never degenerates.
Therefore the method preparing formaldehyde anhydrous alcohol solution and new formaldehyde alcoholic solution of formalin and alcohol that utilizes of the present invention has important actual application value, can be applied to industrial production.
Hereafter will the present invention will be described in detail in conjunction with the embodiments, but those skilled in the art should be appreciated that those skilled in the art are according to the open and technical knowledge that itself has of the present invention, can carry out some to the present invention and change or revise.Therefore, scope of the present invention is not limited to following embodiment, and should only be limited by claims.
