Description

Hydroformylation process and apparatus
Technical Field
The invention relates to a hydroformylation synthesis method and equipment, in particular to a method for preparing aldehyde by hydroformylation of olefin and synthesis gas, and a reaction equipment and a reaction system used for the method. The method and the reaction system can improve the reaction efficiency, reduce the equipment investment and have high economic benefit.
Background
Olefin hydroformylation is an important organic synthesis reaction that plays a significant role in the modern industry. The aldehyde product is a useful chemical intermediate, can synthesize a plurality of important chemical products, and is a homogeneous catalytic reaction process with the maximum production standard so far.[Trzeciak,A.M.;J.J.Coord.Chem.Rev.1999,190-192,883-900.]。
The main method for producing aldehyde by olefin hydroformylation comprises a low-pressure rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation method and a high-pressure cobalt-catalyzed hydroformylation method. Under certain conditions, raw material olefin and synthesis gas H 2 And (3) directly introducing the/CO into a catalyst solution of a reaction kettle, and reacting in a liquid phase main body to generate aldehydes. In the olefin hydroformylation process using a ligand-modified homogeneous catalyst, the concentration and temperature of the reaction solution are not uniform, so that the reaction conversion rate, the space-time yield of aldehyde (STY, meaning the conversion amount of olefin per unit time and unit volume based on the total reaction volume) and the normal-to-iso ratio of the product are seriously affected, and most devices need to enhance the contact between gas and liquid by stirring, so that materials are thoroughly and uniformly mixed. Along with the growth of the reaction carbon chain, the reaction activity of the olefin hydroformylation is reduced, particularly when internal olefin exists, the reaction activity is obviously reduced, the reaction residence time is long, and the reaction byproducts are more, so that a reaction strengthening method is needed to be found to improve the reaction efficiency and the selectivity of the main reaction.
One modification method is to mix the reaction solution with stirring. The reaction kettle with the stirring paddle has better mixing effect, but the stirrer has complex structure and the materials of the stirrer used under special conditions are expensive. Another disadvantage of using stirred tanks is that the stirrer shaft must pass through the wall of the pressurized tank and the sealing requirements for the equipment are high, while the stirring shaft rotation affects the sealing and stirring paddles of the tank. In daily operation, equipment faults easily occur in stirring equipment, and continuous and stable operation of production is seriously influenced. Most of the olefin hydroformylation reaction devices in practical application in industry at present adopt kettle type stirrers, the reaction efficiency is relatively low due to factors such as mass transfer, and taking an industrial application example of n-butene hydroformylation as an example, a 7-ten thousand ton/year 2-propyl heptanol production device needs 3 stirring reaction kettles to carry out series connection reaction, and the volume of each reaction kettle is 105m 3 ("mechanical Engineers", 2015 (6): 25)2-254)。
As an alternative to stirred tanks, there are cases in industry where olefin hydroformylation reactions are carried out using bubble column reactors. The reaction gas is introduced from the bottom of the bubbling tower, and the reaction gas is ensured to be dispersed in the reaction liquid through a gas distributor so as to increase the mass transfer surface area, and the bubbles are dispersed and lifted in the reaction liquid, so that the reaction liquid is mixed. However, in a simple bubble column reactor, because the reaction gas participates in the hydroformylation reaction in the rising process, a local concentration gradient and temperature non-uniformity are easily formed in the bubble column, so that the reaction conversion rate, aldehyde selectivity and aldehyde space time yield are affected, and the production efficiency is lower than that of a stirring reactor.
CN 101679173B discloses a process and apparatus for producing aldehydes by reacting olefins with synthesis gas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which employs an ejector to enhance gas-liquid mass transfer, thereby improving hydroformylation efficiency and yielding desirable high yields of aldehydes.
CN102272079a discloses an apparatus for producing alcohols from olefins comprising a hydroformylation reactor, said reactor comprising injection means for injecting olefins and synthesis gas into a catalyst mixed solution in the reactor, a reactor outlet for discharging a reaction mixture of said olefins and synthesis gas, a distribution plate for changing the flow of said olefins and synthesis gas, and a circulation pipe for circulating part of the reaction mixture to the injection means.
Wang Xiaofu et al, "spray gas-liquid reactor type and application" ("chemical industry and engineering technology", 2002, volume 23, phase 2) describe spray gas-liquid reactors. It mentions that there are typically used in industry downspray self-priming reactors consisting of four parts of a nozzle, a suction chamber, a mixing chamber and a diffusion chamber. When the reaction liquid having a certain pressure is sprayed downward through the nozzle, a high flow rate is generated, a pressure drop is formed around the nozzle, and the raw material gas supplied from the side is sucked into the suction chamber, and then sufficiently mixed in the mixing chamber to form turbulence, while the reaction is performed. The flow velocity of the product in the diffusion chamber is gradually reduced, the product is sent out by utilizing the increased static pressure, and a large amount of gas can be automatically sucked without air supply equipment such as a compressor and the like, so that the energy consumption is greatly reduced. And the material forms stable turbulence at the nozzle, so that the mixing between gas and liquid is enhanced, and the method is very beneficial to the diffusion-controlled gas-liquid phase transient reaction.
In the chemical industry, even a 1% improvement in reaction efficiency can produce great economic benefits. While the introduction of a sparged gas-liquid reactor improves the efficiency of the olefin hydroformylation reaction, there is room for further improvement in this process.

Detailed Description
The inventor of the present invention conducted a careful study on the existing hydroformylation synthetic reaction vessel, and found that although the down-jet self-priming reactor has a force to push down the reactants so as to move down into the bottom liquid phase catalyst solution, during operation, part of the reaction raw materials, particularly the synthesis gas with lighter weight, may be suspended in the upper part of the reaction vessel, such as the top of the reaction vessel, thereby affecting the reaction efficiency. Based on such findings, the inventors of the present invention proposed that the gas of the gas phase portion of the reaction vessel be circulated to the suction section of the downdraft self-priming reactor and circulated to the downdraft reactor for reaction, thereby further improving the reaction efficiency.
In addition, the inventors of the present invention have also found that if a downdraft self-priming reactor is introduced into a bubble column reactor and gaseous raw materials are introduced into the reactor through the downdraft self-priming reactor and a gas distributor simultaneously, defects such as local range concentration gradient and temperature unevenness, etc., which exist in a conventional bubble column reactor can be eliminated while advantageously utilizing the advantages of the bubble column reactor, since the injection force of the downdraft self-priming reactor more or less plays a role of stirring or stirring.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to a hydroformylation synthesis reaction vessel, the shape, material, size, etc. of which is not particularly limited, and may be a conventional reaction vessel known in the art. In one example of the invention, the reaction vessel is a vertical reaction vessel. In another example of the invention, the reaction vessel is a horizontal reaction vessel.

In the present invention, the term "the nozzle is located within the suction section" is not limited to the location of the nozzle being physically located within the suction section. The nozzle may be maintained in various positional relationships with the gas-suction section as long as the jet is capable of entraining the gaseous raw material and the gas originating from the gas-phase portion of the reaction vessel while being injected into the gas-suction section. For example, the nozzles may be located at the edge of the suction section and spray at a pressure sufficient to entrain the gaseous feed.
In the present invention, the term "conduit" in "the suction section is also in fluid communication with the portion above the liquidus line or the gas phase portion of the reaction vessel through a conduit" means any conduit other than the conventional downspray self-priming reactor body conduit. The pipeline is positioned outside the reaction kettle.
In the present invention, the term "part above the liquidus of the reaction vessel" refers to a position of the reaction vessel which is higher than the liquidus of the reaction vessel and does not suck in liquid during the gas phase circulation. In one example of the invention, the portion above the liquidus line of the reactor refers to a location near and including the top of the reactor. In another example of the invention, the "portion above the liquidus line of the reaction vessel" refers to the top of the reaction vessel.
In the present invention, the term "downjet self-priming reactor comprises a suction section, a mixing section and a diffusion section which are fluidly connected" means that the reactor comprises three functional sections with suction, mixing and diffusion functions, which may be physically distinguishable (e.g. suction chamber, mixing chamber and diffusion chamber) or physically indistinguishable (e.g. a section of piping with suction, mixing or diffusion functions at different positions, respectively).
The terms "fluid communication" and "fluid connection" are used interchangeably herein to refer to two portions being connected to one another and fluid being able to flow between the two portions.

In one example of the present invention, the hydroformylation reaction conditions described in chinese patent CN102272079a, which is incorporated herein by reference as part of the present invention, are employed.
In one embodiment of the invention, the raw material olefin is in a liquid state, the down-injection self-priming reactor is positioned at the top of the reaction kettle, after the catalyst-containing circulating liquid from the reaction kettle, the raw material olefin and the circulating catalyst liquid from the aldehyde evaporator are mixed, the raw material synthesis gas and the mixed gas phase at the top of the reaction kettle are coiled in the down-injection self-priming reactor, the gas and the liquid are fully contacted, and the gas and the liquid are sprayed into the reaction liquid through a diffusion section; at the same time, a part of the synthesis gas is sent to a gas distributor, bubbling in the reaction kettle liquid and further reacting with the rest olefin under the action of a catalyst.
In one embodiment of the invention, the raw material olefin is in a gaseous state, the down-injection self-priming reactor is positioned at the top of the reaction kettle, after the catalyst-containing circulating liquid from the reaction kettle, the circulating catalyst liquid from the aldehyde evaporator and the optional olefin are mixed, raw material synthesis gas, the optional raw material olefin and mixed gas phase at the top of the reaction kettle are sucked in the down-injection self-priming reactor in a rolling way, and the gas and the liquid are fully contacted and are sprayed into the reaction liquid through a diffusion section; while a portion of the synthesis gas and optionally a portion of the olefins is sent to a gas distributor, which bubbles in the reaction tank liquor to further react with the remaining olefins under the influence of a catalyst.
The invention forms gas phase circulation between the gas phase space of the reaction kettle and the lower spraying self-priming reactor by liquid phase entrainment gas phase, and raw material synthesis gas, reaction kettle gas phase components, catalyst solution and olefin raw materials fully contact in the spraying reactor. It was found through experiments that the reaction rate was accelerated due to the sufficient contact of a large amount of hydrogen with the reaction liquid containing the catalyst composition. Meanwhile, part of synthesis gas is added in a bubbling mode while a down-spraying self-priming reactor is used, and compared with a conventional pure bubbling tower reaction kettle, the bubbling input synthesis gas flow is reduced, so that adverse effects caused by concentration gradient and temperature gradient non-uniformity are reduced; on the other hand, the jet of the down-jet self-priming reactor plays a more or less stirring role, helping to eliminate the adverse effect caused by uneven temperature gradient.
In addition, the conversion rate of the olefin (such as propylene) fed in a narrow space in the jet reactor can reach more than 70%, unexpected experimental results are obtained, unreacted olefin is subjected to bubbling reaction in the kettle through jet, the conversion rate of the olefin is further improved, the reaction is enhanced, the high conversion rate of the olefin can be realized by the jet reaction kettle provided with a gas-phase circulation loop, a liquid-phase circulation loop and a gas distributor, and the olefin stripping and separating process of a rear system is omitted. As the reaction efficiency is improved, the volume and the number of the reaction kettles can be reduced, the reaction residence time is shortened, the selectivity of the product aldehyde is further improved, and the one-time investment of the catalyst is reduced. Compared with a bubbling reaction kettle, the invention can eliminate adverse effects caused by concentration gradient and temperature gradient non-uniformity; compared with the traditional stirred tank reactor, the jet pipe has higher concentration of synthesis gas in liquid phase, better mixing effect of vapor and liquid, faster reaction speed, simple structure, safety and reliability, low investment cost and eliminates unstable factors caused by mechanical stirring.
The invention mainly solves the technical problems of large volume, large quantity, high power consumption, low reaction efficiency and complex reaction process flow of the reaction kettle in the prior art. The invention designs a bubbling and spraying combined reaction kettle device, which directly connects into reaction kettle liquid through a gas distributor by utilizing the high pressure of a synthetic gas source to form a better bubbling effect, and simultaneously adopts the combination of a gas phase self-circulation loop and a liquid phase spraying circulation, thereby further strengthening gas-liquid mass transfer and greatly improving reaction efficiency. The bubbling bed completes the hydroformylation of partial raw material olefin, and the unconverted olefin further completes the hydroformylation of the residual olefin in a smaller ejector, so that the conversion rate of the olefin is effectively improved, and the unit consumption of an ejector circulating pump is reduced.
In one example of the invention, under the condition of 60-130 ℃ and 1.0-6.0MPa of reaction pressure, using aldehyde as a solvent, catalyzing olefin hydroformylation to synthesize aldehyde by using a catalyst formed by an eighth group metal element and a phosphorus-containing ligand; the olefin is at least one of propylene, ethylene, butene, pentene, hexene, heptene, olefinic compounds of from 6 to 18 carbon atoms. The conversion rate of the olefin can reach more than 99%, the strengthening of the hydroformylation reaction process of the olefin is realized, the technical scheme well solves the problems, the catalyst can be used in the process of producing aldehyde by the hydroformylation reaction of the olefin, the one-time input cost of the catalyst is reduced, and the consumption of the ligand is correspondingly reduced.
