Method for co-producing benzoic acid, p-methylbenzoic acid and m-methylbenzoic acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fine chemical engineering, in particular to a method for co-producing benzoic acid, p-toluic acid and m-toluic acid.
Technical Field
Benzoic acid is an important bulk organic chemical raw material, is used for producing chemical products such as benzyl benzoate, methyl benzoate, ethyl benzoate and the like in the chemical industry, is used for producing medicaments such as chorion and the like in medicine, is used for producing alkyd resin, polyamide resin and the like in the synthetic resin industry, and is widely used as a preservative in the food industry. The preparation method is mainly a toluene air oxidation method.
Methyl benzoic acid is also an important bulk organic chemical raw material which can be used as an intermediate of medicines, pesticides, organic pigments, whitening agents and the like, and the preparation method of the methyl benzoic acid mainly comprises a dimethylbenzene nitric acid oxidation method, a dimethylbenzene air oxidation method, a methylbenzene carbonylation-oxidation method and the like, and the most economical and effective method is the dimethylbenzene air oxidation method. The methyl benzoic acid can be further oxidized into phthalic acid, which is an important raw material in the polyester industry and a large amount of chemical raw materials related to the countryside, but the price of the phthalic acid is far lower than that of the methyl benzoic acid. Therefore, the target product of xylene oxidation should be methylbenzoic acid as much as possible and phthalic acid production should be avoided as much as possible from the viewpoint of economic added value.
In the process of preparing methylbenzoic acid by air oxidation of xylene, methyl on the xylene is the most inert substance in the reaction system, and the activation of the methyl on the xylene is the most difficult step in the whole reaction, so that the required reaction conditions are the most severe. Once the methyl reaction on the benzene ring is initiated, the subsequent reactions are relatively easy to occur. In order to activate the methyl group on the benzene ring, strict reaction conditions are generally adopted, and the strict reaction conditions can simultaneously lead the target product methyl benzoic acid generated in the system to be further deeply oxidized, so that the selectivity of the high value-added target product methyl benzoic acid is reduced, and the selectivity of a byproduct (namely, a product obtained by oxidizing a second methyl group on the benzene ring) is improved. This is also the reason why the selectivity of the product is not high and the final by-products are more when the xylene is selectively oxidized to prepare methyl benzoic acid in the industry at present.
Furthermore, in the production process of the methyl benzoic acid, the cost of the raw material dimethylbenzene accounts for more than 75% of the production cost of the whole methyl benzoic acid. The existing p-xylene and m-xylene are both separated from mixed xylene. Because the boiling points of p-xylene and m-xylene are very similar, the separation is very difficult in industry, and the conversion and the cost are very high, so that the prices of the p-xylene and the m-xylene which are used as raw materials are far higher than the price of mixed xylene. In particular, m-xylene has a large price fluctuation due to limited market demand, concentration of manufacturers, and a large amount of price fluctuation. Therefore, the research on the m-methyl benzoic acid and p-methyl benzoic acid technology which has wide raw material source, low price, diversified product structure and high risk of resisting market situation change is the research target of the technicians in the field. The mixed xylene is from naphtha or coal, the annual domestic productivity has broken through 3000 ten thousand tons, the market price is strict and the petroleum price is hooked, the fluctuation range is obviously small, the source is wide, and the price is low. The mixed dimethylbenzene is used for co-catalytic oxidation to produce m-methyl benzoic acid and p-methyl benzoic acid, which is a process method capable of obtaining better expected effects.
From the literature published at present, the target products of oxidation of mixed xylenes are mostly concentrated on phthalic acid. Representative publications include: the method for preparing phthalic acid by a catalyst system for mixed xylene co-oxidation (CN102924266A), the production method of mixed aromatic dicarboxylic acid (CN103183607A, CN102584572A), the method for producing benzenedicarboxylic acid by mixed xylene co-oxidation (CN1962598A), and the research on the mixed oxidation process of p-xylene and m-xylene (Liujian, Liuyang. synthetic fiber industry, 2016,39(3): 38-40.). The common point of the methods is that the mixture of m-xylene and p-xylene is used as raw material, corrosive acetic acid is used as solvent, the raw material is oxidized into final products of isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid under harsh reaction conditions, and then refining and purification are carried out. However, the raw material source of the method still has the defects of high cost and not wide source. This is because the raw material of the method still needs to be separated from the mixed xylene, and the method needs to firstly rectify and separate the o-xylene (boiling point 144.4 ℃) with high boiling point which is easy to separate, and then separate the ethylbenzene (boiling point 136.2 ℃) with boiling point which is very close to that of the m-xylene (boiling point 139.0 ℃) and the p-xylene (boiling point 138.4 ℃) by a high energy consumption method. The separation energy consumption is high, which leads to high cost price of raw materials.
CN10318890A and CN101508638A disclose a method for preparing mixed phthalic acid and phenylacetic acid by directly oxidizing mixed xylene without further treatment. Wherein the mixed xylene is a mixture of ethylbenzene, o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene. The method adopts a traditional MC oxidation system, namely a Co/Mn/Br/acetic acid system, is consistent with the common knowledge of the technical personnel in the field, and the products are phthalic acid and phenylacetic acid.
Article "selective oxidation of mixed xylenes catalyzed by cobalt hydroxylamine acid complex (Chenjun, Zhang, Hujiayuan, Lixianhu. chemical research and application, 2002, 14(2),178-N-benzoyl-NThe activity of liquid phase catalytic oxidation of different mixed dimethylbenzenes is evaluated under the pressure of 0.5MPa by taking a complex of phenylhydroxylamine and cobalt salt as a catalyst and pure oxygen as an oxygen source, and the catalyst is proved to have good activity, wherein the order of the reaction activity of the three dimethylbenzenes is as follows: para-xylene>Ortho-xylene>Meta-xylene. When the reaction temperature is 125 ℃ under the condition of the 1:1 ratio of the isomeric dimethylbenzene for 2 hours, the oxidation speed of p-xylene is 7 times faster than that of m-xylene, and the oxidation speed of o-xylene is 4 times faster than that of m-xylene. The method has the obvious defects that in addition to being the same as the method for producing the mixed aromatic dicarboxylic acid by adopting the mixture of the p-xylene and the m-xylene as the raw material, under the catalytic system, the oxidation rate difference of the m-xylene and the p-xylene is large, the m-xylene and the p-xylene can not be completely oxidized at the same time, and the defects of high raw material cost and wide source still exist.

The invention has the advantages of wide raw material source, low price, diversified product structure and strong risk of resisting market situation change; the reaction condition is mild, the conversion rate is high, and the selectivity is good; the process is simple, and the equipment investment is low; good economic benefit and the like.
1. The raw materials have wide sources and low price, the product has diversified structures, and the risk of resisting the change of market situation is strong. From the product structure, the existing benzoic acid, p-toluic acid and m-toluic acid, particularly p-toluic acid and m-toluic acid, have limited market capacity, and the price of a single product is greatly influenced by the fluctuation of short-term supply and demand relations, so that the existing p-toluic acid and m-toluic acid production enterprises have weak risk capability of resisting market situation changes. From the raw material source, the concentration of m-xylene in the production industry is very high, the first 3-4 enterprises in the world account for more than 80% of the total production energy, the price fluctuation of m-xylene is large, the latest price fluctuation is that m-xylene rises from about 7500 yuan/ton at the end of 2015 to about 12500 yuan/ton in 5 months in 2016, and the risk capability of m-toluic acid production enterprises depending on a single raw material source for resisting market situation changes is weak. The present invention resists this market risk from both raw materials and products. The following table gives the price quotes given by the domestic mainstream supplier in 2016 and 9 months:

Therefore, the invention adopts mixed dimethylbenzene to oxidize and coproduce benzoic acid, p-methyl benzoic acid and m-methyl benzoic acid, and the raw material price is lower than that of a single benzoic acid product, particularly far lower than that of a m-methyl benzoic acid product. The method has the advantages of obvious low raw material price, wide sources and low price, the mixed xylene is derived from naphtha or coal, the annual domestic productivity has broken through 3000 ten thousand tons, the market price is strictly hooked with the petroleum price, the price fluctuation is far smaller than the fluctuation range of single xylene or toluene.
2. Mild reaction condition, high conversion rate and good selectivity. The invention adopts an oxygen-containing intermediate compound and a catalyst to co-catalyze ethylbenzene to initiate reaction, then catalyzes and oxidizes p-xylene and m-xylene to generate p-methyl benzoic acid and m-methyl benzoic acid, and ethylbenzene is oxidized and degraded into benzoic acid. After the process is adopted, the yield of the reaction is greatly improved, and the selectivity of benzoic acid, p-toluic acid and m-toluic acid in the final oxidation product is over 99 percent, which is obviously higher than the product selectivity of the industry in a single oxidation process, in particular to the product selectivity of the industries of the p-toluic acid and the m-toluic acid. The conversion rate of the mixed dimethylbenzene is more than 99.9 percent, and after rectification separation, the yield of the benzoic acid is more than 96 percent, the yield of the p-toluic acid is more than 94 percent, and the yield of the m-toluic acid is more than 90 percent.
In the process of preparing p-methyl benzoic acid and m-methyl benzoic acid by oxidizing p-xylene or m-xylene, the first methyl on a benzene ring is an inert substance in the reaction system, and the activation of the first methyl is the most difficult step in the whole reaction. And once the first methyl group on the benzene ring is initiated, the subsequent reaction of intermediate methylbenzyl alcohol and methylbenzaldehyde occurs relatively easily. In order to activate the first methyl group on the benzene ring, strict reaction conditions are generally adopted, and the strict reaction conditions simultaneously lead to further deep oxidation of the methyl group on the target product methyl benzoic acid generated in the system, thereby leading to the reduction of the selectivity of the target product methyl benzoic acid, and various intermediate products are mixed in the product. One desirable reaction mode is to simultaneously realize the activation of the first methyl group and the further deep oxidation of the intermediate methyl benzyl alcohol and methyl benzaldehyde into the target methyl benzoic acid under mild reaction conditions.
The key to initiating the p-xylene or m-xylene reaction is the presence in the system of free radicals capable of activating the methyl hydride on the benzene ring of p-xylene. The inventor of the present invention further found that under the condition of existence of the co-oxidant, the co-oxidant can be firstly oxidized to generate free radicals under mild conditions, and then the free radicals attack hydrogen on methyl on a benzene ring which is difficult to be oxidized to generate benzyl free radicals, so as to initiate the reaction, and finally the methyl benzoic acid and deep oxidation products thereof are generated through one-step oxidation.
The inventors of the present invention have found that, deviating from the general knowledge of the skilled person, ethylbenzene is an excellent co-oxidant in the catalytic system according to the present invention. The molecular structure of ethylbenzene has a methylene group connected with a benzene ring, and the activity of the ethylbenzene is far stronger than that of methyl. Under the condition which is much milder than methyl initiation, the free radical can be firstly oxidized to generate a free radical, then the free radical attacks hydrogen on a methyl on a benzene ring of xylene which is difficult to oxidize to generate a benzyl free radical, so that the reaction is initiated, and finally methyl benzoic acid and deep oxidation products thereof are generated through one-step oxidation. Ethylbenzene itself is also oxidized sequentially to 1-phenylethyl alcohol, acetophenone, benzaldehyde and the final product benzoic acid as intermediates rather than the phenylacetic acid product as conventionally understood by those skilled in the art (as described in CN10318890A and CN 101508638A).
The inventors of the present invention further found that oxidation intermediates such as methyl benzyl alcohol, methyl benzaldehyde, and ethylbenzene generated in the oxidation process of methyl benzyl alcohol, methyl benzaldehyde, and ethylbenzene, which are present in the reaction system for preparing methyl benzoic acid by oxidizing xylene, are also superior co-oxidants mainly due to the following reasons:
(a) they are intermediate products generated in the reaction system, and after the intermediate products are added into the reaction system in the initiation stage, new impurities cannot be brought to the system.
(b) Under the catalytic system of the present invention, these oxidation intermediates can be oxidized under relatively much milder conditions to generate free radicals which can rapidly initiate the reaction of the methyl group on the benzene ring of xylene. The oxidation intermediates act as a co-catalytic oxidation of xylene.
(c) Methyl benzyl alcohol, methyl benzaldehyde, acetophenone, 1-phenethyl alcohol and benzaldehyde are also self-generated substances in the reaction system, can be conveniently generated by reaction and recycled, no additional addition is needed, and the production cost is greatly reduced. The method realizes the online in-situ generation and addition of the methyl benzyl alcohol, the methyl benzaldehyde, the acetophenone, the 1-phenethyl alcohol and the benzaldehyde by directly recycling the low-boiling-point components obtained in the operation of the step (1) to the reaction step (1).
The inventors of the present invention have also found that: the oxidation intermediate of ethylbenzene is 1-phenethyl alcohol, acetophenone and benzaldehyde, and one molecule of CO is released in the reaction process2. CO is reported according to the common general knowledge and extensive literature of those skilled in the art2Is advantageous for promoting the oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons. The invention achieves an unexpected technical effect that: in-situ generated oxidation promoter CO in intermediate products of acetophenone and benzaldehyde2Under the combined action of the two catalysts, the difference between the oxidation speed of p-xylene and the oxidation speed of m-xylene reported in documents (Chenjun such as Zhang, Hujiayuan, Lixianshu. cobalt hydroxylamine acid complex for catalyzing selective oxidation of mixed xylene, chemical research and application, 2002, 14(2),178-181) is greatly shortened, so that the two catalysts can be simultaneously oxidized.
To achieve the effect of the present invention, the mass percentage of ethylbenzene in xylene should not be less than 10%. Preferred is 3 ℃ premium xylene as specified in GB 3407-90. The low content of ethylbenzene causes the difference of the oxidation speed of p-xylene and m-xylene to be large, and simultaneously causes the oxidation reaction conditions to become relatively harsh, and simultaneously the selectivity of the products p-methyl benzoic acid and m-methyl benzoic acid is reduced.
To achieve the effect of the present invention, the content of the isomer o-xylene in xylene is not higher than 0.5% by mass. The high o-xylene content leads to high o-methylbenzoic acid content of impurities in m-methylbenzoic acid and poor product quality.
3. Simple process and less equipment investment. The atmospheric boiling points of the various primary intermediates and feedstocks, products produced during the xylene oxidation process described in this invention are given in the following table:

In the industry, mixed xylene is used as a starting material, and three procedures of mixed xylene separation, single xylene oxidation and rectification separation of benzoic acid or methylbenzoic acid are required. As can be seen from Table 2, for the separation of mixed xylenes, conventional methods are difficult to separate due to the similar boiling points of ethylbenzene, para-xylene and meta-xylene in the composition. The separation process is also a process recognized by those skilled in the art to be particularly complex, high in equipment investment and particularly high in energy consumption. The invention creatively abandons the separation process, adopts commercial mixed dimethylbenzene to directly oxidize in air, and coproduces benzoic acid, p-toluic acid and m-toluic acid. As can be seen from table 2: on one hand, the boiling points of benzoic acid, m-methylbenzoic acid and p-methylbenzoic acid are 249.0, 263.0 and 274.5 ℃ in sequence, the boiling point difference is large, and the obvious boiling point differences of the benzoic acid, the m-methylbenzoic acid and the p-methylbenzoic acid are conveniently utilized to separate products by adopting a conventional rectification process; on the other hand: the boiling points of the raw materials and all intermediate oxidation products (such as 1-phenethyl alcohol, acetophenone, benzaldehyde, m/p-methylbenzyl alcohol and m/p-methylbenzyl alcohol) are obviously lower than that of the target product benzoic acid with the lowest boiling point, so that the intermediate oxidation products can be separated from the benzoic acid, the m-methylbenzoic acid and the p-methylbenzoic acid by simple conventional rectification operation. In another aspect: the boiling points of the terephthalic acid and the isophthalic acid which are byproducts are far higher than the boiling point of the p-toluic acid which is the target product with the highest boiling point, so that the byproducts of the deep oxidation can be separated from the benzoic acid, the m-toluic acid and the p-toluic acid by simple and conventional rectification operation. The special product structure and the boiling point difference ensure that the process of the invention is simple and the equipment investment is greatly reduced.

According to the published data, the consumption indexes of the prior art are as follows: 850kg of toluene is consumed by 1 ton of benzoic acid, 6kg of medium-pressure steam is consumed, and the cost of direct raw materials (the price is calculated according to the price given in the table 1, the same below) and energy consumption (the price is calculated according to 160 yuan of steam per ton, the same below) is 5677.5 yuan/ton; 1150kg of m-xylene is consumed by 1 ton of m-methylbenzoic acid, 8kg of medium-pressure steam is consumed, and the direct raw material and energy consumption cost is 14703.4 yuan/ton; 1100kg of p-xylene is consumed by 1 ton of p-methylbenzoic acid, 9kg of medium-pressure steam is consumed, and the direct raw material and energy consumption cost is 8425 yuan/ton.

The consumption of medium-pressure steam is 14kg per ton of mixed xylene oxidized, which is equivalent to 2240 yuan. From this, it can be estimated that the direct feed and energy costs are 6990 yuan per ton of mixed xylenes oxidized. According to the calculation, the direct raw material and energy consumption cost of the prior art for generating the benzoic acid, the m-toluic acid and the p-toluic acid with corresponding values are as follows: 5677.5 × 0.3315 +14703.4 × 0.4551+8425 × 0.356= 11572.9-membered.
