Description

Method for separating polymethoxy dimethyl ether
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for separating polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers, in particular to a method for preparing and purifying high-purity PODE (polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether) from a polyoxymethylene-containing polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether reaction mixture obtained in a reaction taking polyformaldehyde as a raw material3-5The method of (1).
Background
With the rapid increase of energy consumption in modern society, the petroleum resources are increasingly tense, the environmental pressure is also increased, and the development of new clean diesel fuel is urgently needed. The oxygen-containing compound is used as the diesel additive, and no additional device or engine structure change is needed, so that the method is a convenient and effective measure and becomes a new idea for development of the petroleum industry.
Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (PODE) are oxygen-containing compounds of the general formula CH3O(CH2O)nCH3Wherein n is an integer ≧ 1 (generally, the value is less than 10, and for PODE of different n, hereinafter, PODEN is expressed). PODE, particularly polymer with n being 3-5, not only has proper melting point and boiling point, but also has higher oxygen content (47% -49%) and cetane number (78-100), which is beneficial to improving the combustion condition of diesel oil in an engine, improving the thermal efficiency and reducing the pollutant emission; thus, PODE3～5The diesel fuel additive is an ideal component with great application prospect, can be used for partially replacing diesel oil, and improves the combustion efficiency of the diesel oil. At the same time, PODE2Has good solubility and is a potential high-quality solvent.
In recent years, the production of PODE has attracted much attention, and a large number of patents have been reported. In the process for synthesizing PODE from formaldehyde and methanol, water is inevitable as a reaction product, which is also a fatal disadvantage of the synthetic route. The reason is that the presence of water under acidic conditions tends to cause hydrolysis of PODE to form a hemiacetal, which is difficult to remove from PODE, making isolation and purification of PODE more complicated.
A method for controlling moisture from a source is to prepare PODE by taking methylal (DMM) and trioxymethylene or cheap paraformaldehyde as raw materials. US2449269 and US5746785 describe the synthesis of PODE from methylal with paraformaldehyde (or concentrated formaldehyde solution) in the presence of sulfuric acid and formic acid. European patent EP1070755A1 discloses a process for preparing PODE by reacting methylal with paraformaldehyde in the presence of trifluorosulfonic acid, the conversion of methylal being 54%, PODE E2～5The yield of (b) was 51.2%. CN103664549A and CN103880614A adopt paraformaldehyde as raw material and solid super acid as catalyst to synthesize PODE, the product contains unreacted raw material methylal and paraformaldehyde, the reaction mixtureThe composition of (1) contains 8.3% of unreacted paraformaldehyde in addition to methylal and PODE.
With the progress of research, in addition to paying attention to the selection of raw material routes and catalysts, more and more attention is paid to the subsequent separation and purification. In the preparation method of PODE, not only products, unreacted raw materials, formaldehyde (or paraformaldehyde) dissolved in a system, and even by-products such as methanol exist in a reaction mixture, and in order to obtain pure PODE for adding diesel, the reaction mixture needs to be separated and purified, and particularly, the separation problem of by-products such as formaldehyde and water becomes a technical bottleneck influencing the continuous and stable operation of the PODE separation process.
The PODE preparation processes introduced in CN101048357A and CN102786397A both adopt a multi-stage series rectification tower to prepare the PODE3～4Being a target product, PODE2The distillate is directly recycled to the reaction unit as a recycled material after rectification, so that the separation of formaldehyde (or trioxymethylene) is avoided. Chinese patent CN103333060B discloses a method for refining and refining polymethoxy dialkyl ether, which comprises adding 40-50 wt% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution into equilibrium reaction product, and performing condensation reflux treatment at 50-60 deg.C to achieve the purpose of eliminating formaldehyde reaction. CN103333061, CN103319319 and CN104672067 respectively describe that solid sulfite, sodium percarbonate and excessive ammonia gas are added into the reaction product in several times, and then condensation reflux treatment is carried out, and finally solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain the PODNN refined product without aldehyde. The methods are all methods for removing formaldehyde by adding other substances into the product to perform chemical reaction with formaldehyde, so that the problem of formaldehyde polymerization in the rectification process is avoided, the loss of a certain proportion of reaction products is caused, the removed formaldehyde cannot be recycled, and the utilization rate of raw materials is reduced. CN104725198 introduces a method for dehydrating a polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether gas phase material flow, in which water in the gas phase material is removed by a two-stage adsorption tower alternate flow adsorption and regeneration method, so as to ensure the production continuity, but the adsorption and desorption method has high energy consumption and complex process and can cause more waste.
We are dealing with methylal and paraformaldehydeLong-term studies on the rectification and separation of the reaction mixture obtained by the reaction revealed that PODE was isolated2During the rectification process, formaldehyde is easy to gather into white solids on a condenser and is accumulated along with the operation of the device, so that the blockage of a return pipe and a discharge pipe causes the shutdown maintenance, and the long-term continuous production operation is difficult.
