Catalyst for phosgene synthesis and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of phosgene preparation through reaction of carbon monoxide and chlorine, and particularly relates to a catalyst for preparing phosgene, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Phosgene, also known as phosgene or carbonyl dichloride, is an important organic intermediate and has found wide application in organic compounds, monomers and polymers, such as isocyanates, urea derivatives, carbamoyl chlorides, carbonates, benzophenones, polyurethanes and polycarbonates, among others. High-quality phosgene is mostly used for high-end products, for example, the preparation of polycarbonate plastics needs to contain 50ppm of free chlorine at most, otherwise, the washing effect is influenced, the serious corrosion of equipment is caused, and the like; and contains at most 50ppm of carbon tetrachloride impurities, which would otherwise deteriorate the color tone of the polycarbonate resin and deteriorate the corrosion resistance of the mold.
It is known in industry to synthesize phosgene, usually starting from carbon monoxide and chlorine, using activated carbon as catalyst, the reaction being strongly exothermic and usually being carried out, for example, in a reactor similar to a tubular reactor designed as a conventional shell-and-tube heat exchanger.
The heat conductivity of common active carbon is very poor, so that the radial temperature difference of a catalyst bed layer is very large in the phosgene synthesis process, and the radial temperature difference can reach 300-400 ℃ in a reaction tube with the inner diameter of 50 mm. Therefore, if the control of feeding, heat removal and the like fails in the reaction process, the temperature of a catalyst bed layer is easily increased sharply (the highest hot spot temperature can reach 550-700 ℃), and the axial temperature gradient is changed greatly, so that catalyst pulverization and temperature unevenness of a heat transfer medium in the axial direction of a shell side are caused. Too high hot spot temperature will also promote the formation of by-product carbon tetrachloride, causing irreversible loss of catalyst and also presenting a difficult problem in the separation of carbon tetrachloride from the product.
Aiming at reducing the hot spot temperature of an activated carbon catalyst bed layer used in the phosgene synthesis process, more researches are carried out on documents. CN200510093948.7 mentions cooling of the reaction tubes from the outside by means of a coolant space cooled by water evaporation; CN201310375888.2 proposes an active carbon coating/foam silicon carbide structure catalyst modified by alkali metal salt, and a segmented filling process is adopted to realize the control of reaction temperature; CN201480041464.5 introduces a high thermal conductivity material in contact with the catalyst in the reactor, and adopts a segmented filling process to reduce the temperature of a hot spot; CN201811273312.4 proposes a catalyst loading method, which mentions that this allows sufficient reaction residence time and the heat of reaction is removed in time.
At present, in a phosgene synthesis industrial device, water with medium and low boiling points, saltless water and the like are mainly used as heat exchange media, and a large amount of reaction heat is circularly removed from the shell side of a fixed bed reactor. However, the traditional active carbon catalyst has high thermal resistance, so that the whole temperature of a reaction bed layer is high and the temperature cannot be removed. Therefore, if the problem of high temperature gradient of the catalyst bed, especially the problem of high radial temperature gradient, cannot be solved, the heat generated by the reaction is difficult to be comprehensively and effectively utilized, and the reaction load cannot be maintained at a high level.
Meanwhile, phosgene is extremely toxic and is easily adsorbed by activated carbon, the flow equalizing process is complex in the catalyst replacement process and certain potential safety hazards exist in the parking process, so that frequent parking and catalyst replacement operation caused by reduction of catalyst activity and activated carbon pulverization are not expected, and higher requirements on the catalyst and catalyst filling are provided.
In summary, the existing process for preparing phosgene by catalytic reaction of carbon monoxide and chlorine mainly has the following problems: the prior active carbon catalyst has the defects of poor heat conductivity, serious pulverization, low activity, short service life, large temperature difference between the radial direction and the axial direction of a reactor, low quality of phosgene and byproduct steam, incapability of stably operating for a long time, high maintenance cost, poor safety and the like. Therefore, there is a need for improvements in catalysts and a need to find a new process to replace the existing process.

Meanwhile, high-quality phosgene and byproduct steam are produced, and the method has the advantages of reducing the stable operation and maintenance cost of the device and increasing the safe operation period of the device.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

The catalyst of the invention can also comprise other auxiliary components except the active component, the auxiliary components are derived from solid products remained after roasting of auxiliary raw materials added in the preparation process, the auxiliary raw materials comprise all raw materials except the active component raw materials, and the adopted preparation method is different from other auxiliary components. According to different preparation methods, the auxiliary component can be one or more of carbon, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, silicon-aluminum composite, boron nitride, boron carbide and the like in chemical composition, and the auxiliary component accounts for 0.1-50% of the total weight of the catalyst, preferably 0.5-25%, and more preferably 1-5%. The auxiliary components are present in the catalyst according to the invention in admixture with the active components (activated carbon and carbon nanotubes), which are relatively inert in the phosgene synthesis reaction and mainly act as a linking, diluting or heat-conducting component.
The auxiliary component is preferably carbon, and the source of the auxiliary component is preferably a solid product obtained by roasting an organic binder (such as polyvinyl alcohol, glutaraldehyde and the like) at high temperature in the preparation process of the catalyst; and the carbon is physically or chemically distinguished from the active components (activated carbon and carbon nanotubes) depending on the preparation conditions, including amorphous carbon and/or graphitic carbon and/or microcrystalline carbon, and is characterized by a low degree of graphitization, a low specific surface area, no significant channels and thus is relatively inert in the phosgene synthesis reaction.
In the catalyst, the activated carbon and the carbon nano tube are connected through chemical bonds, and the chemical bonds are C-C bonds and/or C-O-C bonds and the like. The carbon nano tube and the activated carbon are chemically connected by a C-C bond, a C-O-C bond or the like instead of simple physical doping, and the carbon nano tube and the activated carbon connected in such a way are in contact with Cl 2 The activation of (b) has a promoting effect, which gives rise to a sudden and dramatic increase in the catalyst activity.
The activity of the pure carbon nano tube for catalyzing phosgene synthesis is very low, and the common active carbon catalyst is difficult to give consideration to the comprehensive indexes of activity, thermal conductivity, high-temperature stability and the like. The inventor finds in the experimental process that on the basis of keeping the high specific surface area of the activated carbon material, the graphitization degree of the activated carbon material is limited, and the combined use of the carbon nano tubes is combined, so that the finally obtained catalyst has the comprehensive advantages of high activity, high thermal conductivity, high-temperature stability and the like, and is particularly suitable for industrial phosgene synthesis.
In the catalyst of the invention, the activated carbon has higher graphitization degree and passes through a D band (about 1350 cm) in Raman spectrum widely used in the field -1 Department) and G band (about 1550 cm) -1 At) is determined. The proper graphitization degree is also beneficial to improving the thermal conductivity of the catalyst, and the thermal conductivity data of the common activated carbon is only reported in the literature of 0.17-0.28 W.m -1 ·K -1 The thermal conductivity coefficient of the catalyst is more than 1W.m -1 ·K -1 And is therefore also extremely advantageous for the removal of heat during the phosgene synthesis. Controlling the degree of graphitization of the carbon material within the scope of the present invention also helps to inhibit C and Cl at high temperatures 2 Reaction to generate CCl 4 And thus is also advantageous for improving the quality of the phosgene synthesis product.

in the step (2) of the preparation method, the composition of the polyvinyl alcohol and the glutaraldehyde has multiple functions of a binder, an extrusion aid and the like. Polyvinyl alcohol and glutaraldehyde are subjected to a cross-linking reaction under acid catalysis, so that the activated carbon, the carbon nano tube and the polyvinyl alcohol and glutaraldehyde which are subjected to the cross-linking reaction are mutually and tightly interwoven together, a combined body with better structural strength is formed under the action of strong external force of kneading and extruding strips, and the final catalyst product has better strength and high-temperature structural stability after subsequent drying and roasting high-temperature treatment steps.
The mass ratio of the polyvinyl alcohol to the glutaraldehyde is 10-50: 1, preferably 15 to 40:1.

In the method, the steps also comprise the step of removing reaction heat by using boiling water or high boiling point organic matters to generate high-pressure steam through gasification.
In the method, a phosgene product is directly obtained from an outlet of a fixed bed tubular reactor, wherein the content of free chlorine in the phosgene product is less than 20ppm, and the content of carbon tetrachloride in the phosgene product is less than 10ppm.
In the method, the volume ratio of the carbon monoxide to the chlorine is 1-1.05: 1.
in the method of the invention, the reaction pressure in the fixed bed tubular reactor is 0-0.4 Mpa (gauge pressure), preferably 0-0.35 Mpa (gauge pressure).
In the method, the catalyst is filled in a segmented mode in the reactor, and the activity of the catalyst along the direction of the gas flow is gradually increased. The increase of the catalyst activity can be achieved by adjusting the graphitization degree, the specific surface area, the ratio of the activated carbon to the carbon nanotubes and the like of the activated carbon, and can also be achieved by adjusting the size of the catalyst, and the methods are not limited as long as the properties of each section of the catalyst are within the range of the invention.
In the method, in the reactor, a porous inert ceramic ball is filled at the downstream of a catalyst, the surface of the porous inert ceramic ball is rough and porous, pore channels with the diameter of 50-500 mu m exist in the reactor, the pore channels in the reactor are communicated with each other, and each pore channel is communicated with the surface of the reactor; the average pore diameter of the porous inert ceramic ball is 50-500 mu m, the porosity is 1-30%, wherein the pore volume of the pore canal with the diameter of 50-500 mu m accounts for 20-70% of the total pore volume.

The porous inert ceramic balls can gradually absorb active components which are gradually pulverized and shed off after the catalyst is used for a long time along with the airflow direction and can be used as the catalyst for secondary use by matching with the filling of the porous inert ceramic ball carrier at the downstream of the catalyst, and even under the condition that the performance of the upstream catalyst is reduced, the porous inert ceramic balls can also maintain the reaction balance in the whole reactor, so that the device can stably run for a long period under high load.

The shell side of the fixed bed tubular reactor uses superheated boiling water or phase change of other boiling organic matters to generate steam, the heat energy absorbed by gasification is generally much higher than that absorbed by liquid heating, the reduction of radial temperature difference of the bed layer ensures that the heat emitted in the reaction process is quickly removed, and meanwhile, the gasification of bubbles on the tube wall of the shell side further strengthens heat conduction generated by the reaction and eliminates hot spots in the bed layer.
By adopting the method for synthesizing phosgene, the radial upper temperature difference in the tube array of the fixed bed tubular reactor is less than 200 ℃, the hot spot temperature is less than 450 ℃, and the outlet temperature of the reactor is less than 100 ℃.

By adopting the method for synthesizing phosgene by using the catalyst, the temperature of a catalyst bed layer is lower in the reaction process, the reaction of the activated carbon and chlorine is prevented from generating carbon tetrachloride, and the content of carbon tetrachloride in tail gas is reduced; meanwhile, due to the higher activity of the catalyst, the reaction heat is fully utilized under the action of strong heat transfer, the outlet temperature of the reactor is lower, and the content of free chlorine in the tail gas is effectively reduced; the free chlorine content in the final product composition at the outlet of the reactor is less than 20ppm, and the carbon tetrachloride content is less than 10ppm, so that the method can be used in the synthesis fields of high-end polyurethane, polycarbonate and the like.
