Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for preparing alkyldiglycol in the presence of a novel aluminum-based catalyst containing an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, which has an NRE (Narrow distribution Ethoxylate Narrow Range Ethoxylate, Narrow molar distribution) effect while increasing the reaction rate.

Description

Process for preparing alkyldiglycol
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for preparing alkyldiglycol (ALKYL DIGLYCOL) in the presence of a novel aluminum-based catalyst. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for preparing alkyldiglycol in the presence of a novel aluminum-based catalyst, which has NRE (Narrow distribution ethoxylate Narrow range ethoxylate, Narrow molar distribution) effect and simultaneously increases reaction speed.
Background
The invention relates to a method for preparing alkyl diglycol from alcohol and alkylene oxide.
For example, the reaction for producing diethylene glycol butyl ether from butanol and Ethylene Oxide (EO) is as follows.
Figure BDA0002276770770000011
As an aluminum catalyst widely used in the above reaction, a Mg — Al catalyst showing selectivity (NRE effect) for addition of 2 moles of alkylene oxide (alkylene oxide) is known. However, since this catalyst is a heterogeneous catalyst in the form of a composite oxide, it is not suitable for a continuous production process. Further, the aluminum alkoxide catalyst as a homogeneous catalyst exhibits NRE effect, but has a problem of remarkably slow reaction speed.
Therefore, in the production of alkyldiglycols from alcohols and alkylene oxides, it is necessary to develop a catalyst capable of increasing the productivity of alkyldiglycols.

Detailed Description
The invention relates to a preparation method of alkyl diglycol, which comprises the following reaction: reacting an alcohol with an alkylene oxide in the presence of an aluminum catalyst selected from aluminum compounds and hydrates thereof.
According to an embodiment, the present invention provides a method for preparing butyl diglycol, comprising the following reaction: butanol is reacted with ethylene oxide in the presence of a catalyst selected from potassium aluminum sulfate or hydrates thereof.
The aluminum-based catalyst is an aluminum-based catalyst containing an alkali metal (group 1 metal of the chemical periodic table) or an alkaline earth metal (group 2 metal of the chemical periodic table). According to one embodiment, the aluminum-based catalyst is potassium aluminum sulfate or a hydrate thereof.
The alcohol may be selected from alkyl alcohols having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. According to one embodiment, the alcohol is 1-butanol.
The alkylene oxide may be selected from alkylene oxides having 2 to 4 carbon atoms. According to an embodiment, the alkylene oxide is ethylene oxide.
The alkylene oxide may be used in a molar ratio of 3:1 to 8:1 relative to the alcohol. According to an embodiment, the molar ratio of the alkylene oxide to the alcohol is from 5:1 to 7: 1.
When the molar ratio is out of the range, there is a problem that the product productivity is lowered due to, for example, a large content of a high molecular weight.
The aluminum-containing catalyst may be used in an amount of 20ppm or more based on the weight of the alcohol. According to one embodiment, more than 200ppm of the catalyst may be used relative to the weight of alcohol. According to one embodiment, less than 400ppm of said catalyst may be used with respect to the alcohol weight. When the concentration of the catalyst is out of the above range, there is a possibility that the high molecular weight content is increased or the reaction rate is decreased.
In the present invention, in the presence of an aluminum-based catalyst and at a temperature of 170 ℃ to 210 ℃ and 3kg/cm2G to 30kg/cm2G reacting the alcohol and the alkylene oxide. According to an embodiment, the temperature is 170 ℃ to 190 ℃. According to an embodiment, the pressure is 3kg/cm2G to 10kg/cm2G。
In the present invention, an aluminum catalyst is used as the catalyst, and thus the conversion rate of alkylene oxide can be improved.
The operation and effect of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following specific examples. However, this embodiment is provided as an example of the present invention, and the scope of the claims of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment in some sense.
Examples
Example (Potassium aluminum sulfate catalyst used alone)
500g of butanol, 0.1g of potassium aluminum sulfate and 50g of ethylene oxide were charged into an autoclave reactor and heated at 5kg/cm2G was stirred under pressure at 170 ℃ for 24 hours to react. The obtained product was analyzed by GC (50 ℃ → 10 ℃/min → 300 ℃, Hold), and the amounts of the respective components in the product produced with the reaction time are shown in table 1 below.

Comparative example 1 (Tributoxyaluminum catalyst used alone)
The same reaction as in example 1 was carried out, except that 0.1g of tributoxyaluminum was used instead of 0.1g of potassium aluminum sulfate in example 1 described above. The obtained product was analyzed, and the amounts of the respective components in the product produced with the lapse of reaction time are shown in table 2 below.

Comparative example 2 (Tributoxyaluminum catalyst and acetic acid cocatalyst were used in combination)
The same reaction as in example 1 was carried out, except that 0.1g of tributoxyaluminum and 0.1g of acetic acid were used instead of 0.1g of potassium aluminum sulfate in the above example 1. The obtained product was analyzed, and the amounts of the respective components in the product produced with the lapse of reaction time are shown in table 3 below.

BTG 0.05 0.07 0.10 0.19 0.20
B4G 0 0 0.02 0.02 0.04
The reaction completion time is a time at which the pressure does not change during the reaction, and this time is a time at which the EO conversion rate is 100%.
When only tributoxyaluminum was used as the catalyst, it took about 18 hours until the end of the reaction, but when the potassium aluminum sulfate catalyst according to the present invention was used, the reaction was completed in about 10 hours, which indicates that the effect of improving the reaction rate of the potassium aluminum sulfate catalyst was excellent. In the case where acetic acid was added as a co-catalyst, there was no reaction rate-improving effect, but rather a lower rate than that in the case where aluminum tributoxide was used alone was exhibited. Shows the result that the selectivity to 1 mole of alkylene oxide is higher than the selectivity to 2 moles of alkylene oxide which is the object of the present invention.
From the above results, it is understood that the reaction rate is improved when the potassium aluminum sulfate catalyst of the present invention is used, as compared with the catalyst in the form of aluminum alkoxide which is known as a conventional aluminum-based catalyst.
