Description

Method for preparing aldehyde by mixed carbon-four hydroformylation reaction
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing aldehyde by mixed carbon four hydroformylation.
Background
The hydroformylation of olefins with synthesis gas over a catalyst to produce aldehydes having one more carbon atom than the olefin is a well known process.
The hydroformylation reaction of olefins without isomers, such as ethylene and propylene, is relatively simple, and for olefins with more than four carbon atoms, because different isomers exist, the hydroformylation reaction conditions of various isomers are different, the structures of aldehyde products are also different, and the separation of the hydroformylation product aldehyde of some isomers is difficult, so that for olefins with more than four carbon atoms, the mixed olefins with more than four carbon atoms are not suitable for being simultaneously reacted in the same reaction zone, and need to be separated before the reaction.
Taking mixed C.sub.four as an example, possible compositions are 1-butene, trans-2-butene, cis-2-butene, isobutene, 1, 3-butadiene and butane. At present, the industrial separation of 1, 3-butadiene from four carbon components is well established, and for isobutene, a method for converting isobutene into methyl tert-butyl ether is adopted to realize the separation of isobutene from mixed four carbon components. The product of the mixed C.sub.D with isobutylene removed is generally referred to as C.sub.D.sub.etherate. However, in recent years, due to the safety problem of methyl t-butyl ether, some developed countries have legislation that prohibits the addition of methyl t-butyl ether to gasoline, rendering isobutylene a less important use, and the manner in which isobutylene is converted to methyl t-butyl ether has been limited. In this context, the composition of mixed C.sub.four would be 1-butene, trans-2-butene, cis-2-butene, isobutene and butane.
The boiling points of the components in the mixed carbon four can be seen in the following table:
Figure BDA0001778705450000011
as can be seen from the boiling points of the components in the mixed C4, the 2-butene has large difference with other components, and the 2-butene can be separated from the mixed C4 by the conventional rectification method, however, the boiling points of the isobutene and the 1-butene are very close, and the isobutene and the 1-butene are difficult to separate by the conventional method. Therefore, how to realize the effective utilization of the C4 resource and obtain the C4 reaction product with high purity is a technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.
Disclosure of Invention

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the content of isobutylene in the mixed C4 is 10 wt% or more.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the unreacted starting material is essentially isobutene, which also contains small amounts of unreacted 1-butene, and the inert component butane. The unreacted feed has a 1-butene content of less than 1.5 wt%, preferably less than 1.0 wt%, and a 2-methylbutanal content of less than 500ppm, preferably less than 200 ppm.

The second catalyst containing stream includes the second catalyst and a solvent that dissolves the first catalyst.
The inventors have found that, when a rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst is used which is formed from a rhodium compound and a hydrocarbyl phosphine ligand, under the same conditions, the reaction rate of 1-butene is high, and the hydroformylation reaction can be carried out under a low partial pressure of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, but the reaction is hardly carried out under the conditions for 2-butene and isobutene. The rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst generated by the rhodium compound and the phosphite ligand and/or the rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst generated by the rhodium compound and the phosphate ligand, whether 1-butene, 2-butene or isobutene, can obtain higher hydroformylation reaction speed under lower partial pressure of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The hydroformylation products of 1-butene and 2-butene are n-valeraldehyde and 2-methylbutyraldehyde, and the specific structure of isobutylene is such that the hydroformylation product is almost 100% of 3-methylbutyraldehyde. However, the inventors have found that both 2-methylbutyraldehyde and the hydroformylation product of isobutylene, 3-methylbutyraldehyde, are close in boiling point and are difficult to separate by conventional rectification means. Further, since the reaction rates of 2-butene and isobutylene are relatively close to each other under the same conditions, in order to maintain the purity of 3-methylbutyraldehyde which is an isobutylene product at a high level, in the present invention, 2-butene is separated from mixed C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.to obtain mixed C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.sub.C.. In the invention, 1-butene and isobutene react in different reaction zones by reacting in two stages under different reaction conditions and/or different catalysts, so that high-purity products are respectively obtained. Since the reaction speed of 1-butene is relatively fast, 1-butene can also react at a relatively fast speed to generate a small amount of 2-methylbutyraldehyde under the reaction conditions of isobutene, so in order to avoid the influence of 2-methylbutyraldehyde on isobutene products, in the invention, the reaction conditions are controlled to achieve a relatively high conversion rate of 1-butene in the first reaction zone, preferably the conversion rate of 1-butene in the first reaction zone is more than 97%, preferably more than 98.3%. And, the first reaction product is separated, i.e., unreacted starting material is separated from the product aldehyde, prior to hydroformylation of the isobutylene in the second reaction zone. Thereby controlling the higher purity of the 3-methyl butyraldehyde.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the separation of the first reaction product and the second reaction product can be carried out in a separation manner customary to the person skilled in the art, for example in a flash and/or rectification manner.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reaction apparatus of the first reaction zone and the reaction apparatus of the second reaction zone are each independently a single reactor or a plurality of reactors connected in series, wherein the plurality of reactors connected in series are the same or different, and the reactors are tank reactors or tower reactors.
The method for producing different aldehyde products by two reaction zones is realized by utilizing different hydroformylation reaction characteristics of 1-butene and isobutene and adopting a mode of reacting the 1-butene and the isobutene in a partition manner; by means of an intermediate separation between the two reaction zones, a process is achieved for producing different aldehydes of high purity from the two reaction zones.
According to the invention, 1-butene and isobutene are respectively subjected to hydroformylation reaction in a sectional reaction mode to obtain different products, so that the advanced separation of 1-butene and isobutene is avoided.

As shown in fig. 1: the mixed C-four stream 1, the synthesis gas 2 and the first catalyst solution stream 5 from the intermediate separation zone 102 enter a first reaction zone 101, and 1-butene in the first reaction zone 101 is subjected to hydroformylation reaction under the action of a first catalyst to generate n-valeraldehyde and 2-methylbutyraldehyde. The gas phase stream 4 produced from the first reaction zone 101 is removed from the first reaction zone 101 as off-gas or passed to other units for further processing. The liquid phase product 3 of the first reaction zone enters an intermediate separation zone 102, unreacted raw materials (including isobutene and butane) and product valeraldehyde (n-valeraldehyde and 2-methylbutyraldehyde) are separated from the first catalyst solution 5 in the intermediate separation zone 102, the unreacted raw materials (isobutene and butane) and the product valeraldehyde (n-valeraldehyde and 2-methylbutyraldehyde) are sent to a separation section 103 of the intermediate separation zone, and the first catalyst solution 5 returns to the first reaction zone. In the separation section 103 of the intermediate separation zone, the four carbon streams 8 (isobutylene and butane) are separated from the valeraldehyde 7 (n-valeraldehyde and 2-methylbutyraldehyde), and the four carbon streams 8 (isobutylene and butane) enter the second reaction zone 201 to react with the synthesis gas 9 and the catalyst solution 12 from the post-separation zone 202 in the second reaction zone 201. The gas phase stream 11 obtained from the second reaction zone 201 is discharged as off-gas or sent to other units for further processing. The liquid phase material flow 10 obtained from the second reaction area 201 enters the post-separation area 202, a small amount of unreacted isobutene, butane and product valeraldehyde are separated from the second catalyst solution 12 in the post-separation area 202, a small amount of unreacted isobutene, butane and product valeraldehyde are sent to the separation section 203 of the post-separation area, the second catalyst solution 12 returns to the second reaction area 201, in the separation section 203 of the post-separation area, the carbon four material flow 14 (a small amount of isobutene and butane) is separated from the 3-methyl butyraldehyde 15, the carbon four material flow 14 (a small amount of isobutene and butane) is taken as a byproduct, and the 3-methyl butyraldehyde 15 can be further refined to obtain the high-purity 3-methyl butyraldehyde if necessary.
The 1-butene content and the 2-methylbutanal content of the carbon four stream 8 (isobutylene and butane) entering the second reaction zone 201 are controlled. As noted above, due to the difficulty in separating the 2-methylbutyraldehyde from the 3-methylbutyraldehyde, the 1-butene content of the carbon four stream 8 entering the second reaction zone should be controlled to be less than 1.5 wt%, preferably less than 1.0 wt%, and the 2-methylbutyraldehyde content should be controlled to be less than 500ppm, preferably less than 200 ppm.
The first reaction zone 101 and the second reaction zone 201 may be a single tank reactor or a tower reactor, or may be a combination of a plurality of different or identical reactors connected together.

Mixed butenes (having a composition of 36.2 wt% 1-butene, 0.1 wt% trans-2-butene, 55.2 wt% isobutene, 8.0 wt% isobutane and 0.5 wt% n-butane) from a storage tank (not shown in FIG. 2) are fed into the line 302 through the line 301 by means of the pump 503 at a flow rate of 200g/hr, mixed with the bottom discharge 323 from the thin film evaporator 507 and fed into the bottom of the reactor 501 through the bottom-inserted tube via the line 303, and simultaneously, synthesis gas (hydrogen: CO molar ratio of 1.05:1, flow rate of 47.4 normal liters/hr) is fed into the liquid phase of the reactor 501 through the gas distributor at the bottom of the reactor 501 via the line 304. Both the reactor 501 and the reactor 502 were 2L pressure-resistant stainless steel stirred tanks. The gas phase outlet of the reactor 501 was equipped with a back pressure valve (not shown in FIG. 2) to control the pressure inside the reactor to 1.5MPa, and the temperature of the reactor 501 was controlled to 90 ℃ by means of an oil bath (not shown in FIG. 2). The concentration of the first catalyst in the first catalyst solution in reactor 501 is about 200ppm, calculated as rhodium metal, and the solution also contains 12% by mass of triphenylphosphine ligand. The synthesis gas reacts with 1-butene in the presence of a first catalyst in reactor 501, the gaseous phase output from reactor 501 is fed via line 306 into the liquid phase of reactor 502 along with synthesis gas from 312 (hydrogen: CO molar ratio 1.05:1, flow 9.3 normal liters/hr) via the bottom gas distributor of reactor 502; the liquid phase output from reactor 501 is fed via pump 504 via line 307 to reactor 502.
The temperature of the reactor 502 was controlled at 95 ℃ by means of an oil bath (not shown in FIG. 2), and a back pressure valve (not shown in FIG. 2) was provided at the gas phase outlet of the reactor 502 to control the pressure inside the reactor at 1.4 MPa.

The pressure of the thin film evaporator 507 is normal pressure, the evaporation temperature is controlled by an oil bath, the general temperature range is 105-115 ℃, the evaporation temperature is lower than 105 ℃ due to the lower content of high boiling substances in the solution in the initial reaction period, and the evaporation temperature range is generally 110-115 ℃ when the content of the high boiling substances is stable after the operation for a period of time.
After the carbon four components (isobutene, butane and a small amount of 1-butene) and the product aldehydes (n-valeraldehyde, 2-methylbutyraldehyde) are condensed in the condenser 509, a small amount of non-condensable gas is discharged as tail gas from the pipeline 314, the carbon four components and valeraldehyde are fed into the rectifying tower 511 from the pipeline 315 by the pump 510 in liquid phase, and the feeding position is about the fifth theoretical plate in the middle of the rectifying tower 511.

The ratio of n-valeraldehyde to 2-methylbutyraldehyde in the product aldehyde is about 10:1, the mixed aldehyde can be further separated to obtain highly purified n-valeraldehyde and 2-methylbutyraldehyde, and the highly purified n-valeraldehyde and 2-methylbutyraldehyde can be sold as fine chemicals and can also be used for preparing C10 alcohol, and the alcohol can be used for preparing a phthalate plasticizer. Carbon four is directly fed into the second reaction zone from the top of the rectification column through a pipeline 322 by a pump 515 through a pipeline 324 to continue the reaction, or the carbon four can be fed into a storage tank firstly and protected by nitrogen and then fed into the second reaction zone to carry out the reaction.

Both the reactor 601 and the reactor 602 were 2L pressure-resistant stainless steel stirred tanks, and a back pressure valve (not shown in FIG. 3) was installed at the gas phase outlet of the reactor 601 to control the pressure inside the reactor 601 to 3.3MPa, and the temperature of the reactor 601 was controlled to 100 ℃ by an oil bath (not shown in FIG. 3).

The pressure of the thin film evaporator 606 is normal pressure, the evaporation temperature is controlled by oil bath, the general temperature range is 105-115 ℃, the evaporation temperature is lower than 105 ℃ in the initial reaction stage due to the lower content of high boiling substances in the solution, and the evaporation temperature range is generally 110-115 ℃ when the content of high boiling substances is stable after the operation for a period of time.

After separation in the rectifying tower 610, the carbon four is sent from the top of the rectifying tower through a pipeline 422 and a pump 614 to a storage tank through a pipeline 424, protected by nitrogen and stored as a byproduct. 3-methylbutyraldehyde is withdrawn from the bottom of the rectifying column via a line 419 by a pump 611 and fed into a storage tank 612. Since the feed contains about 0.9 wt% of 1-butene, the reaction produces a small amount of n-valeraldehyde (about 1 wt%) and a trace amount of 2-methylbutyraldehyde (about 0.2 wt%), and the 3-methylbutyraldehyde can be further distilled intermittently or continuously to obtain a product with a purity of more than 99.5 wt%, which can meet the requirements of fine chemicals. In the example, the total utilization rate of 1-butene is more than 98.4%, and the total utilization rate of isobutene is more than 77.2%.
Example 2
Example 2 the same process as in example 1 was used, the conditions of the first reaction zone and the intermediate separation zone were the same as in example 1, and the difference between example 2 and example 1 was that:
the second catalyst adopted in the second reaction zone is rhodium-phosphonite catalyst generated in situ by rhodium compound and phosphite ester, the rhodium compound is acetylacetone dicarbonyl rhodium, phosphonite ligand is 6,6 ' - [ (3,3 ', 5,5 ' -tetra-tert-butyl-1-1 ' -biphenyl) 2,2 ' -dioxy ] -bis-benzo [ d, f ] [1,3,2] dioxaphosphorinane, and solvent used for dissolving the second catalyst is butyraldehyde. Rhodium concentration 200pm and phosphonite ligand concentration 0.6 wt% in reactor 601; in reactor 602, the rhodium concentration was 200ppm and the phosphonite ligand concentration was 0.6 wt%. The total pressure of the reactor 601 is 1.3MPa, the temperature is 80 ℃, the total pressure of the reactor 602 is 1.2MPa, and the temperature is 85 ℃. The pressure at the top of the rectifying tower 610 is 0.5MPa, and the temperature at the bottom of the rectifying tower is about 158 ℃. The flow of syngas into reactor 601 was 65.9 standard liters/hr and the flow of syngas into reactor 602 was 19.5 standard liters/hr.
The purity of the 3-methylbutyraldehyde finally obtained in the example is 99.6%, the total utilization rate of 1-butene is more than 98.8%, and the total utilization rate of isobutene is more than 88.5%.
Comparative example 1
Comparative example 1 the composition of mixed carbon four in the first reaction zone was the same as that of example 1, the reaction conditions in the first reactor 501 and the second reactor 502 were the same as those of example 1, and the evaporation conditions in the thin film evaporator were the same, and comparative example 1 differs from example 1 in that the condensate in the vapor phase evaporated in the condenser 509, which was fed directly to the second reaction zone via the line 315 via the pump 510 without separation in the rectifying column 511, contained more than 4% by weight of 2-methylbutyraldehyde.
The reaction conditions of the second reaction zone, the conditions of the thin film evaporator 606 and the rectifying tower 610 are the same as those of the example 1, the mixed aldehyde (n-valeraldehyde, 2-methylbutyraldehyde, 3-methylbutyraldehyde) product finally extracted from the pipeline 419 is rectified, the content of the 2-methylbutyraldehyde in the 3-methylbutyraldehyde product obtained from the tower top exceeds 5 wt%, and the purity of the final product is less than 95 wt% because the material entering the second reactor contains a certain amount of 2-methylbutyraldehyde and the subsequent separation unit and the 3-methylbutyraldehyde are difficult to separate, so that the requirement of fine chemical products cannot be met.
Comparative example 2
Comparative example 2 differs from example 1 only in that the first reaction zone reduced the temperature of reactor 501 to 85 c and reactor 502 to 87 c, resulting in a 6.8 wt% 1-butene content in the four carbon composition withdrawn via line 324. Because the material entering the second reaction zone contains a certain amount of 1-butene, the hydroformylation reaction is carried out in the second reaction zone to produce a certain amount of n-valeraldehyde and 2-methylbutyraldehyde, the n-valeraldehyde and the 2-methylbutyraldehyde are difficult to separate from the main product 3-methylbutyraldehyde in the second reaction zone, and finally, the content of the 2-methylbutyraldehyde in the 3-methylbutyraldehyde product exceeds 1 wt%, so that the purity of the 3-methylbutyraldehyde is reduced, and the requirement of fine chemical products cannot be met.
