Polymethoxy dimethyl ether can be by synthesis gas via methanol, formaldehyde, dimethoxym ethane, metaformaldehyde or paraformaldehyde etc. It is synthesized using few processing step.Cooking technique is tied to form by Material synthesis methanol etc. of coal, natural gas and oven gas. Coal in China rich reserves, Development of Coal base methanol industry have huge resources advantage.However, methanol excess capacity in recent years Problem is very prominent, and the device utilization of capacity is only 50% or so.There is an urgent need to further extend the bulk product industry of coal-based methanol Chain vitalizes storage resources.Development Technology is advanced, economical rationality, using methanol as the industry of the polymethoxy dimethyl ether of upstream raw material Synthetic technology is not only able to provide a kind of new technology, and can also improve finished diesel fuel to significantly improve finished diesel fuel quality The raw material mix of production is allowed to more adapt to the endowment of resources of China's fossil energy and the reality constructs of primary energy production, greatly The deliverability of high-quality finished diesel fuel is improved greatly, promotes the strategic security of China's engine liquid fluid fuel supply.
It in terms of the synthesis of polymethoxy dimethyl ether, has done a lot of work both at home and abroad, studied respectively and has developed profit It is raw material with methanol, dimethoxym ethane, low-carbon alcohols, formalin, metaformaldehyde, paraformaldehyde etc., using acidic catalyst, obtains The polymethoxy dimethyl ether product of n=2-10.
In various raw material routes, using metaformaldehyde or paraformaldehyde and dimethoxym ethane as Material synthesis polymethoxy methylal Research it is more.
Since metaformaldehyde synthetic technology is complex, cost is higher under present condition particularly in China, with trimerization first Aldehyde and dimethoxym ethane do not have applied economics as Material synthesis polymethoxy dimethyl ether.
Using paraformaldehyde powder and dimethoxym ethane as raw material, catalyzing and synthesizing polymethoxy dimethyl ether with acidic catalyst has The advantages that purpose product once through yield is high, and by-product is less, and product mixtures separation is easier to.But due to paraformaldehyde powder Expect depolymerization slowly and viscosity is high during depolymerization, in order to improve the Global reaction Rate of initial reaction stage, it has to using multistage slurry Bed reactor, paraformaldehyde powder carry technology is more complicated with equipping in addition, can all increase primary investment.
Therefore, develop using dimethoxym ethane and concentrated formaldehyde aqueous solution as raw material, catalyzed and synthesized under acidic catalyst effect poly- The industrialization advanced technology of methoxyl group dimethyl ether is the wise selection for meeting current China's actual conditions.
Research shows that when using dimethoxym ethane and concentrated formaldehyde aqueous solution as Material synthesis polymethoxy dimethyl ether, in raw material Water can cause a series of side reactions.First, formaldehyde monomers are very active in itself, can be with water association for methylene glycol MG1 or even into one Step generation polymethoxy methylene glycol MGn (wherein n is the methoxyl group degree of polymerization), and mutually converting between them is reversible. In addition, under acid catalysed conditions, the by-product generated due to the direct participation of water has methanol, formic acid and hemiacetal HF1.Hemiacetal It can also be used as the secondary byproduct that level-one by-product carbinol is catalyzed and synthesized with formaldehyde;Methyl formate can also be used as level-one by-product The secondary byproduct of esterification occurs between object methanol and formic acid;It is de- that dimethyl ether can also be used as the catalysis of level-one by-product carbinol The secondary byproduct of water.From this, water in raw material all directly or/and take part in indirectly generation by-product carbinol, formic acid, The side reaction of hemiacetal, methyl formate and dimethyl ether.In addition, hemiacetal HF1 can also be further poly- methoxy with formaldehyde condensation polymer Base hemiacetal HFn (wherein n is the methoxyl group degree of polymerization).
In conclusion using dimethoxym ethane and concentrated formaldehyde aqueous solution as catalytic material synthesis polymethoxy dimethyl ether not only make be The chemical reaction characteristic of system complicates, also due to the number of components of mixture of reaction products dramatically increases and makes separating difficulty bigger. These, all propose significant challenge to industrial separation technology.

Moreover, three conventional rectification tower towers (B1), tower (B2) and tower (B3) are respectively close to normal pressure, negative pressure and high vacuum Degree is lower to be operated;One ion liquid abstraction rectifying column (B4) close to normal pressing operation, adopt by ion liquid abstraction rectifying tower bottom Going out liquid, flash distillation removes the whole moisture and first into distillation system in vacuum flasher (B5) at a temperature of 130-150 DEG C Alcohol recycles ionic liquid and recycles.
Moreover, mixture of reaction products is separated into two stream stocks of tower top and bottom of towe, tower top vapour in conventional rectification tower (B1) Mutually after the condensation of stream stock-traders' know-how water-cooled condenser, including dimethoxym ethane, methylene glycol MG1, hemiacetal HF1, methanol, methyl formate, trimerization first In the liquid phase of aldehyde, water and minute quantity PODE2, reflux of the part as conventional rectification tower 1, quantity is about that distillation system charging is total The another part for measuring 2/5-2/7 introduces ion liquid abstraction rectifying column (B4) dehydration, separating methanol;Contain polymethoxy dimethyl ether The mixing of PODE2-10, methylene glycol MG1, dimethoxy methylene glycol MG2, dimethoxy hemiacetal HF2, metaformaldehyde and formic acid etc. Object introduces conventional rectification tower 2 as charging from the first conventional rectification tower bottom of towe.
Moreover, it is about that distillation system feeds the ion liquid abstraction rectifying and dewatering of total amount 1/2-1/8, separating methanol simultaneously with quantity Dimethoxym ethane is made further to concentrate, in the overhead condensation liquid of extractive distillation column (B4), dimethoxym ethane is at concentrations up to more than 97%, water content About in 20PPM hereinafter, methanol content about in 0.6-0.9% hereinafter, which part as reflux, quantity be about distillation system charging Another part of total amount 1/3-1/5 is recycled to polymethoxy dimethyl ether and catalyzes and synthesizes unit.
Moreover, in conventional rectification tower (B2), charging is separated into two stream stocks of tower top and bottom of towe:Overhead vapor phase is through complete solidifying After device condensation, partly as reflux, total amount is about another part of distillation system charging total amount 1/3-1/5, and PODE2 concentration exists 60-70% contracts simultaneously containing a small amount of PODE3, metaformaldehyde, methylene glycol MG1, dimethoxy methylene glycol MG2 and dimethoxy half The mixture of aldehyde HF2 is recycled to polymethoxy dimethyl ether and catalyzes and synthesizes unit, to improve its feed composition, improves purpose product The selectivity and yield of PODE3-6;Quantity is about distillation system total feed 1/3-1/5, contains polymethoxy dimethyl ether The bottom liquid mixture of PODE3-10, three polymethoxy hemiacetal HF3 and formic acid introduce conventional rectification tower (B3) as charging.

Moreover, ionic liquid used in extracting rectifying is including but not limited to following:Cation is imidazoles, pyridines or quaternary ammonium Salt etc., anion are bis-trifluoromethylsulfoandimide, tetrafluoroborate, hexafluoro-phosphate radical, acetate or dithyl sulfate etc..
Moreover, used conventional rectification tower and extractive distillation column are packed tower or plate column, optimally, using filler Tower.
Catalyze and synthesize the process of polymethoxy dimethyl ether (PODEn) product mixtures separation, it is characterised in that:Three The operating pressure of conventional rectification tower (B1), (B2) and (B3) is respectively 0.15-0.10MPa, 0.03-0.06MPa and 0.003- 0.006MPa, the operating pressure of ion liquid abstraction rectifying column is 0.09MPa-0.10MPa;Conventional rectification tower 1 is close to boiling point Liquid feedstock, can also the charging of vapour/liquid mixture;Other each towers are the liquid phase feeding close to boiling point.
It moreover, can be with extended products scheme to PODEn (n=3-5 or n=3- can either be produced by adjusting operating parameter 6) environment-friendly type solvent PODE2, can be also produced simultaneously;Or using the second conventional rectification tower overhead as raw material, through in addition One treating capacity is only the conventional rectification tower of above-mentioned first rectifying column 1/3 or so, according to boiling range by PODE2, HF2 and light component MG1, HF1 and heavy constituent MG2 are separated, extraction high-purity PODE2, HF2 as solvent, gently, heavy component it is recyclable to urging It is combined to unit.
Since the main reaction sequence for catalyzing and synthesizing polymethoxy dimethyl ether is reversible reaction, raw material is it is not possible that one way turns completely Change, the recyclable utilization of raw material after separation.By-product carbinol is the raw material of the raw material dimethoxym ethane of production synthesis PODEn, point Dimethoxymethane production device can be recycled to after coming by separating out.The degree of polymerization low (such as PODE2) and the high PODEn (examples of the degree of polymerization Such as PODE6-10) reaction member can also be recirculated back to continue to improve or reduce the degree of polymerization respectively to improve purpose product selectivity And improve its yield.
As previously mentioned, the water that by-product carbinol, formic acid and methyl formate etc. are directly and/or indirectly brought into raw material formaldehyde It is related, and according to the purity requirement of purpose product, it is necessary to below moisture removal to correlation standard value.Therefore it is handling When dimethoxym ethane, methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid, methyl formate and the separation of water or removing scheme, it should fully take into account in formic acid first Under catalytic action, it may continue to occur between raw material dimethoxym ethane, formaldehyde and its hydrate, methanol, formic acid, methyl formate and water etc. Side reaction is catalyzed, secondly it is contemplated that the electrolyte solution that formic acid is formed with water may cause electrochemical corrosion to equipment.For This, should will enter distillation system material in water be separated as early as possible with formic acid, this be not only able to prevention separation process in continue into Row water participates in, the side reaction of Catalyzed by Formic Acid, is also beneficial to inhibit the electrochemical corrosion of equipment.
Based on mentioned above principle, the present invention is combined using conventional rectification with ion liquid abstraction distillation technology, it is proposed that is closed The process detached into the product mixtures of polymethoxy dimethyl ether.It is characterized in that:By PODEn (n=2-10), unreacted Raw material dimethoxym ethane, formaldehyde and its hydrate and a small amount of free moisture, the production of the compositions such as by-product carbinol, formic acid and methyl formate The separation of object mixture, three conventional rectification towers, one dehydration, separating methanol ion liquid abstraction rectifying column and detach back It receives in the equipment such as the flash tank 5 of ionic liquid and completes.Its brief flow is as shown in Figure 1.
In Fig. 1 tower B1, tower B2 and tower B3 be concatenation, operating pressure successive reduce conventional rectification tower.Tower 1 is close to normal pressure Lower operation, tower 2 operate under negative pressure, and tower 3 operates under vacuum.Tower 4 is the ion liquid abstraction rectifying column of atmospheric operation.Tank 5 It is the flash tank for recycling ionic liquid.
Obtained from reaction member, 0.5-1.5MPa and 80-120 DEG C of product mixtures through flash, strip or throttle into Enter the tower 1 close to atmospheric operation, by stripping section, stripping goes out whole moisture and other lighter components but does not include formic acid, It takes trace P ODE2 out of simultaneously, rectifying section is entered with vapor phase.Under the operating condition of reflux ratio 1-5, light group in rectifying section Divide constantly concentration, the distillate part condensed by overhead condenser flows back into tower top, and another part is sent to extractive distillation column 4 It is dehydrated, separating methanol.Contain a small amount of metaformaldehyde, methylene glycol MG1, dimethoxy methylene glycol MG2, dimethoxy hemiacetal The PODEn of HF2 and minimal amount formic acid (n=2-10) is sent directly into tower 2 as charging from the extraction of 1 bottom of tower.
Tower 2 operates under conditions of about 0.03-0.06MPa and reflux ratio 1.5-5, main to realize PODE2 and PODEn (n =3-10) separation.Overhead extraction high concentration PODE2 and a small amount of PODE3, metaformaldehyde, methylene glycol MG1, dimethoxy first Glycol MG2 and dimethoxy hemiacetal HF2, process, which further refines, can be used as environment-friendly type solvent, can also be all or part of Polymethoxy dimethyl ether synthesis unit is recycled back into, to improve the selections of PODEn (n=3-5 or 3-6) in the reaction product Property.PODEn (n=3-10) the bottom of towe Produced Liquid for containing only a small amount of organic acid and HF3 is sent directly into tower 3 as charging.
Tower 3 operates under conditions of about 0.003-0.006MPa and reflux ratio 1.0-5.0, major function be from The purpose product PODEn (n=3-5) or PODEn (n as diesel oil cleaning component are cut into PODEn (n=3-10) mixture =3-6).It is required according to the difference to purpose product polymerization scope, it is appropriate to adjust gating location or bottom temperature.Tower top evaporates Go out containing a small amount of organic acid in object, purpose product purity is more than 99.5%.It cools down and passes through conventional weakly-basic anion and exchange Qualified purpose product is can obtain after the depicklings such as resin adsorption processing.PODEn (n=5-10 or the n=6- produced from bottom of towe 10) liquid mixture is recirculated back to after material liquid dilutes and catalyzes and synthesizes unit.
For tower 4 close to normal pressing operation, feedstock quality flow is about 1 feed rate 1/3-1/2 of tower.Ionic liquid is then from tower The appropriate location of 4 rectifying sections adds in.Rectifying section reflux ratio 0.5-5.0, dimethoxym ethane concentration is more than 97% in overhead distillate, first Determining alcohol is less than 0.5-0.9%, can be recycled to polymethoxy dimethyl ether and catalyze and synthesize unit.With ionic liquid for water With the selective dissolution of methanol, extraction is all entered by ion liquid abstraction into distillation system, almost all of water and methanol Take the bottom of towe of rectifying column.Ion liquid abstraction liquid then heated flash tank 5 flash-evaporation dehydration higher into vacuum degree, piptonychia Alcohol.According to its composition, the synthesis unit of the recyclable raw material dimethoxym ethane to synthesis polymethoxy dimethyl ether after condensed.Due to Ionic liquid is non-volatile, non-combustible, almost without loss during as extractant Reusability.
With it is existing, catalyze and synthesize using dimethoxym ethane and concentrated formaldehyde aqueous solution as raw material, under acidic catalyst effect it is poly- The mixture of reaction products isolation technics of methoxyl group dimethyl ether is compared, and said program of the invention has the following advantages that:
1st, using rectifying as few as possible and extractive distillation column, point of the product mixtures with nearly 20 components is realized From;
2nd, a variety of different purpose products schemes are adapted to.For example, high-purity PODE2 and PODEn (n=are produced simultaneously 3-5) or PODEn (n=3-6) and PODE2 and two class of PODEn (n=3-5) or PODEn (n=3-6) are adjusted according to the market demand The ratio of purpose product;
3rd, since the water in product mixtures and methanol are highly soluble in selected ionic liquid, but ionic liquid is in itself hardly Volatilization is a kind of extractant for cleaning very much and not losing in use.Due to being detached by the rectifying of tower 1, into extraction The flow of rectifying column 4 is taken to be greatly lowered compared with entering tower 1, but is contained into almost complete in distillation system Portion's moisture, This reduces both the flows of dehydration liquid, are also beneficial to inhibit to continue water participation, formic acid in separation process The side reaction of catalysis and acid, water exist simultaneously caused electrochemical corrosion.
4th, to economize on resources and simplify product mixtures separation process as target, related stream stock after being detached according to each rectifying column Composition, other than purpose product stream stock, all stream stocks are respectively recycled back into polymethoxy dimethyl ether and are urged with dimethoxym ethane Unit is combined to, almost without the wasting of resources.
5th, it is possible that the flow of depickling processing logistics is minimized.
