Description

The preparation method of carboxylic acid
The present invention relates to the method that a kind of improved preparation contains the carboxylic acid of n+1 carbon atom, this method is to make the pure carbonylation that contains n carbon atom in the presence of rhodium catalyst.Especially, the present invention relates to use rhodium catalyst, the carbonylation reaction by methyl alcohol prepares acetate.
Producing acetate by the catalytic methanol carbonylation of rhodium is known method of carrying out industrial-scale production.This method is the example in the class similarity method, and the alcohol that wherein contains n carbon atom changes into the carboxylic acid that contains n+1 carbon atom by carbonylation (promptly and reaction of carbon monoxide).Alcohol normally carries out in liquid phase in the presence of the promotor of rhodium catalyst and the iodide derivative that contains alcohol with the reaction of carbon monoxide.In English Patent 1233121 this method having been carried out further general the description, is acetate and describe methanol conversion in detail at applicable industry catalysis (Applied Industrial Catalysis) the 1st volume 275-296 page or leaf (1983).
According to the result of a large amount of fundamental researchs, can be sure of that rhodium compound relevant with catalysis in these methods is the negatively charged ion (Rh(CO) of rhodium (I) 2I 2) -The result of Mechanism Study shows, plays katalysis by the circulating reaction step, and it mainly comprises iodide derivative by alcohol to (Rh(CO) 2I 2) -The oxidation addition generate rhodium (III), make (Rh(CO) by reduction elimination acid iodide from rhodium (III) compound subsequently 2I 2) -Regeneration.This oxidation reduction cycle between rhodium (I) and rhodium (III) oxidation state has produced problem, because produced slightly soluble under certain conditions or be insoluble to rhodium (III) compound in this method reaction medium, and RhI for example 3Or Rh(CO) I 2- 5Salt.Therefore the trend that catalyst precipitation occurred, and irreversibly removed the rhodium in the catalyst recirculation for all actual purpose.This from reaction medium and catalyst recirculation the loss catalyzer be unacceptable because at first it will cause that the productive rate of this method reduces, secondly be because extremely valuable rhodium is difficult to reclaim.
Found very low and/or be less than 14-15%(weight when carbon monoxide concentration) when carrying out this reaction in the presence of the water, sedimentary trend maximum takes place in insoluble rhodium (III) compound.For technical scale, before a kind of trend can cross that part of carbonylation of methanol device that forces down to carbon monoxide and bring some problems, and the latter means that most of carbonylation of methanol devices are about 14-15%(weight normally in carbonylation reactor, in normal concentration) water in the presence of operate.
The method of a kind of solution rhodium (III) compound precipitation problem has been described in EP55618 and EP161874.EP55618 discloses for the insufficient pure carbonylation apparatus of those carbon monoxide (for example flash tank, transfer lime, circular route), can stop the sedimentary trend of rhodium catalyst by add catalyst stabilizer in device.Preferred stablizer is (a) N, N, N 1, N 1-tetramethyl-O-Phenylene Diamine and 2,3 ' two pyridines, (b) molecular formula is (R 1) (R 2) P-R 3-P(R 4) (R 5) the replacement diphosphine, (c) molecular formula is HOOC-Y-COOH and (HOOC-Y 2) (HOOC-Y 3) NY 1N(Y 4COOH) (Y 5COOH) binary or polycarboxylic acid, and (d) germanium, antimony, tin or alkali-metal compound.
Relevant european patent application 1538341 is pointed out to use imidazoles or thiol stabilizer.This application has been enumerated use N-Methylimidazole.
EP161874 points out, if use the catalyst stabilizer that is selected from metal iodide and quaternary ammonium iodide, can reduce the trend of catalyst precipitation under the low water condition.Preferred stablizer is basic metal and alkaline earth metal iodide, for example lithium iodide.Quaternary ammonium iodide-N-methyl pyridine iodide are also disclosed especially.
The prior art of above-mentioned discussion shows by using a kind of catalyst stabilizer, can reduce the trend of rhodium catalyst with insoluble rhodium (III) compound precipitation.But recent findings when using quaternary ammonium iodide, for example problem occurred when N-Methylimidazole iodide and N-methyl pyridine iodide, and promptly iodide itself cause generating the sl. sol. rhodium complex that contains, thereby have caused the rhodium loss.
According to the present invention, it provides a kind of in the presence of rhodium catalyst, by carbon monoxide and the alcohol reaction that contains n carbon atom, preparation contains the method for the carboxylic acid of n+1 carbon atom, this method comprises to be sent into alcohol and/or described alcohol in the carbonylation reactor with carbon monoxide with the ester of carboxylic acid, and to discharge carboxylic acid in the carbonylation reactor.This method is characterised in that: keep the reaction medium in the carbonylation reactor to contain in reaction process: (a) at least one quantitative water, and (b) a kind of catalyst stabilizer, it is selected from the quaternary ammonium iodide with following general formula:
Wherein R and R 1Independently be selected from hydrogen or C respectively 1-C 20Alkyl, condition are at least one R 1Not hydrogen, (d) with pure corresponding iodide derivative, (e) ester of carboxylic acid and described alcohol, (f) rhodium catalyst and (g) described carboxylic acid.
The present invention has solved the problem that proposes above by using some selected quaternary ammonium iodide.Having shown that described quaternary ammonium iodide had both made what set is used for impelling under the sedimentary very serious condition of rhodium and does not also produce the sl. sol. rhodium complex that contains.Selected quaternary ammonium iodide also has other advantage, promptly with respect to ordinary method when water-content in the carbonylation reactor is low, they can prevent precipitation especially effectively.Really, they are more superior than disclosed stablizer among the EP161874.
Above the preferred specific embodiments of described method be that carboxylic acid and rhodium catalyst and catalyst stabilizer are discharged from carbonylation reactor.Then with carboxylic acid, rhodium catalyst and catalyst stabilizer by a zone that with respect to carbonylation reactor, lacks carbon monoxide, and in this zone with carboxylic acid and other component separating.Rhodium catalyst and catalyst stabilizer be recycled in carbonylation reactor thereafter.In preferred concrete enforcement, this separation and circulation means be characterised in that, when carbon monoxide lacked, rhodium catalyst and catalyst stabilizer were always together.
When a certain amount of water in the carbonylation reactor is the common consumption (14-15% weight) of conventional carbonylation of methanol device, can use the present invention and described specific embodiments.When the content of water is lower than conventional amount used (for example in 0.1-12% weight, preferred 0.5-8% weight) in carbonylation reactor, this technology particularly suitable.
The alcohol that contains n carbon atom says it can is any alcohol that contains 1-20 carbon atom and have a hydroxyl at least in principle, preferably contains the simple function Fatty Alcohol(C12-C14 and C12-C18) of 1-8 carbon atom.More preferably methyl alcohol, ethanol and propyl alcohol, and methyl alcohol is most important.Because the method for acetic acid from methanol is industrial confirmed technology.
The synthetic chemistry metering of this method can be represented with following equation:
R 2OH+CO→R 2COOH
R wherein 2It is the organic moiety that satisfies the defined standard of leading portion.Equation can easily be determined the carboxylic acid that given alcohol is produced thus.At methyl alcohol (R 2=CH 3) and ethanol (R 2=C 2H 5) situation under, the carboxylic acid of production is respectively acetate and propionic acid.
Though method of the present invention can discontinuously be carried out, and in most of the cases preferably carries out continuously.In the operate continuously process, alcohol and/or described alcohol are sent in the carbonylation reactor with water (in the maintenance reactor certain density rhodium catalyst to be arranged), iodide derivative and the catalyst stabilizer of the ester of product carboxylic acid and carbon monoxide, capacity.Be appreciated that back four kinds of compositions do not consume in this process, they are recycled to the reactor continuously from product stream, just add essential raw material once in a while.Each composition is corresponding with sending into continuously in carbonylation reactor, discharges the product stream that contains product carboxylic acid, water, rhodium catalyst, iodide derivative and catalyst stabilizer continuously.Net result is that carbonylation reactor reaches stable state, and keeps liquid reaction medium to contain the composition of stable state, wherein contains ester, rhodium catalyst and the carboxylic acid of water, catalyst stabilizer, iodide derivative, carboxylic acid and the alcohol of constant.In fact contain free alcohol seldom in the carbonylation reactor, because between carboxylic acid and the alcohol esterification can take place rapidly.
