A kind of method of microreactor synthesis methyl nitrite
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of synthetic method of methyl nitrite, specially nitrous acid is continuously synthesized using microreactor
Methyl esters.
Background technology
Ethylene glycol is as a kind of important Organic Chemicals, mainly for the production of polyester fiber, plastics and rubber etc.,
It is widely used in solvent, lubricant, plasticizer and antifreezing agent etc..Larger breach be present in the supply of China ethylene glycol, import according to
Degree of depositing is up to 70%, and is mainly derived from the Middle East and North America.In view of the solid demand of polyester industrial, it is contemplated that following China's ethylene glycol
Demand will be further increased.
Ethylene glycol process route is broadly divided into petroleum path and coal base route.In recent years, coal base route is quickly grown, and is passed through
Ji property also gradually steps up.For example, the production cost of the coal-ethylene glycol of Xinjiang production is at 2500-3000 yuan/ton, no matter from absolute
Profit margin still compared with the relative cost of other supply countries, there is certain competitiveness.
Coal ethyl glycol route mainly passes through CO gas-phase catalytic coupling legal system methyl oxalates and then hydrogenation synthesizing of ethylene glycol.Its
After the NO of middle coupling reaction generation separates with product, generation methyl nitrite and returning was coupled again with oxygen and methanol reaction
Journey recycles, i.e. methyl nitrite regenerative response:
4NO+O2+4CH3OH→4CH3ONO+2H2O (1)
This reaction is gas-liquid two-phase nitration reaction, and reaction speed is fast and thermal discharge is big.It is industrial at present to use filler bubbling bed more
Reacted, the low (200~2000m of gas liquid interfacial area-1), mass transfer ability is relatively low.Thus reactor apparatus volume is often larger
To increase the reaction time, the operational efficiency of reactor is relatively low.In addition, residence time of material grows (Li etc. in tower reactor
Ind.Eng.Chem.Res,2013,52:2814-2823), easily generate larger amount of nitric acid (2%~4% even more high,
CN201310416056), serious corrosion is produced to equipment.
The content of the invention
Present invention aims at provide a kind of method of microreactor synthesis methyl nitrite.
To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
A kind of method of microreactor synthesis methyl nitrite includes two steps of pre-reaction and micro- reaction, pre-reaction step
The mixed gas containing oxynitrides is generated, micro- reactions steps synthesize methyl nitrite.
The pre-reaction step uses tubular reactor, makes to include NO, O2、N2Mixed gas in the tubular reactor
Reaction generation contains N2、N2O3And NO2Gaseous mixture, reaction carry out at normal temperatures, gas residence time is in 1~15min;Or, reaction
In 80~120 DEG C of reactions, 1~2 second residence time;NO and O in tubular reactor inlet gas2Mol ratio be 4~7, preferably 4~
5, N2Volume content is 40~70%, preferably 50-55%.
Micro- reaction is carried out in single channel microreactor or multichannel microreactor, is made methanol and is contained oxynitrides
Mixed gas reaction generation methyl nitrite;In microreactor methanol and raw material NO mol ratios be 1~2, preferably 1.2~
1.5;Pressure limit is 0.1~0.5MPa, preferably 0.1~0.3MPa.
The microreactor, the hydraulic diameter of single channel and/or multichannel in micro- reaction channel are micro- for 100~3000
Rice, 10~100 centimetres of length, microreactor air speed is 2000~50000h-1, reaction temperature is 0~50 DEG C.
Microreactor outlet material is through gas-liquid separator separates gas phase and liquid phase.Exit Partial Liquid Phase material with it is fresh
Microreactor reaction is returned after methanol mixing.The fine grid of the optional band of gas-liquid separator type (20~30 microns of size) it is micro-
Type separator, gravity separator and cyclone separator, preferably cyclone separator.
Compared with prior art, the advantage of the invention is that:
1) gas-liquid mixed efficiency high, reaction is efficient, methanol usage amount low compared with prior art more than 30%.Short residence time makes
The growing amount of accessory substance nitric acid is greatly reduced.
2) heat-transfer capability is strong, and course of reaction is carried out at normal temperatures, and energy consumption is low.
3) reaction safety, N2Content is low (40%~70%), reduces reactor volume and kinetic equation loss.
4) parallel amplification and yardstick, which amplify, is used in combination, and production capacity amplification is simple.
