Method for oligomerization of isobutene
Technical Field
The invention relates to an oligomerization method of isobutene, in particular to an acid salt (C) of load type cesium phosphotungstate S2.5 H 0.5 PW 12 O 40 ) A method for catalyzing isobutene oligomerization reaction by using the catalyst.
Background
At present, isobutene is mostly used for synthesizing methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and is used as a blending component of high-octane motor gasoline. However, this method of using isobutylene has become unreasonable due to the serious pollution effect of methyl t-butyl ether on groundwater. Thus, is C 4 The isobutene in the fraction has very important practical significance for seeking a more reasonable utilization way.
The oligomerization of low-carbon olefin is one of the important chemical processes in the oil refining and organic chemical industry, wherein the oligomerization product of butylene is an important chemical intermediate, can be used for producing oligomerization gasoline and diesel oil, and can also be used as an important intermediate for producing detergents, plasticizers, additives and pesticides.
The oligomerization of isobutene is a typical acid-catalyzed reaction, and the catalyst mainly comprises a liquid acid catalyst and a solid acid catalyst. When liquid acid catalysts (sulfuric acid, methyl benzenesulfonic acid and the like) are adopted in the early stage, the reaction selectivity is poor, the purity of the product isobutene dimer is low, the catalysts are not easy to separate and corrode equipment, and the production process is difficult to realize continuously. In recent years, solid acid catalysts have gradually become hot spots for research on oligomerization of isobutene, and mainly include solid phosphoric acid catalysts, oxides and composite oxide catalysts, molecular sieve catalysts, ion exchange resin catalysts, supported sulfate catalysts, solid super acidic catalysts and the like.
The traditional solid phosphoric acid catalyst is generally prepared by taking diatomite as a carrier and loading strong phosphoric acid (or called polyphosphoric acid), has been applied to petrochemical aspects such as olefin oligomerization for decades, and has exposed a plurality of problems in the long-term application process, such as poor water resistance, low mechanical strength, easy argillization and the like.
Multiple metal oxides and composite oxides can catalyze oligomerization of isobutene, and binary composite oxide A1 with strong acidity 2 O 3 -SiO 2 , TiO 2 -SiO 2 , ZrO 2 -SiO: has both B acid center and L acid center, wherein A1 with high acidity 2 O 3 -SiO: has good catalytic activity in isobutene oligomerization reaction.
The molecular sieve is aluminosilicate with high crystallinity, has a regular pore structure, uniform distribution of surface acid centers, moderate acidity and good activity in oligomerization reaction of isobutene. The types, the silicon-aluminum ratio, the contained metal ions, the pore structure, the reaction conditions and the like of the molecular sieve have influence on the activity and the selectivity of the isobutene oligomerization reaction.
The supported sulfate is a solid acid with wider application, and a plurality of metal sulfates can generate a considerable amount of acid centers with medium strength after being calcined, so that the conversion rate of isobutene is high and the selectivity of dimers is lowest when the supported sulfate is used for isobutene oligomerization.
The solid super acidic catalyst catalyzes the oligomerization reaction of isobutene, the reaction is carried out in liquid phase, isobutene can be completely converted at low space velocity, and products mainly comprise di-trimer and trimer, but still contain tetramer with a certain proportion.
The ion exchange resin is a novel solid acid catalyst, and has the advantages of stable catalytic effect, no corrosion, no pollution, low price and the like, so that the ion exchange resin is widely applied to reactions such as etherification, esterification, superposition, hydration, alkylation and the like.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,300,022,211 reports a cation exchange resin catalyst as a catalyst for butene oligomerization, but the high molecular weight oligomers easily block reaction channels, and alkylation of the resin skeleton causes rapid activity reduction, and the resin has poor high temperature resistance, which limits the application. The CA2435590A1 patent describes a process for obtaining high purity diisobutylene by reducing the acid capacity of the catalyst using NaOH, using a macroporous sulfonic acid resin as the catalyst and pure isobutylene as the starting material. Chinese patent CN107754852A provides a method for modifying a strong acid cation exchange resin catalyst by a silicophosphoric acid solution.
2017, volume 3 of volume 33 reports that sodium exchange Amberlyst-15 catalyzes isobutene to prepare diisobutylene by means of superposition, and the results show that the conversion rate of isobutene is gradually reduced along with the increase of the sodium exchange rate, the selectivity of a dimerization product is rapidly increased, and the conversion rate of isobutene and the number of acid centers on a catalyst are in a linear relationship. The reaction temperature is increased, the conversion rate of isobutene on resin catalysts with different sodium exchange rates is increased, the dimerization selectivity is reduced, and the higher sodium exchange rate enables the selectivity of dimerization products on the resin to be reduced along with the change range of the temperature. The space velocity is increased, the selectivity of dimerization products is increased, and the conversion rate of isobutene is reduced.
Petrochemical 2007, volume 36, phase 3, reports that strong-acid cation exchange resin in tertiary butanol catalyzes oligomerization kinetics of isobutylene, and in a system of strong-acid cation exchange resin (catalyst) and tertiary butanol, the oligomerization kinetics of isobutylene (m) was studied. The results show that isobutylene oligomerization has the feature of first order series irreversible. The tertiary butanol is added into the reaction system, although the acidity of the catalyst can be reduced, the adsorption capacity of isobutene on the surface of the catalyst is improved, so that the selectivity of a dimer (trimethylpentene) of isobutene is obviously improved, and the conversion rate is reduced to some extent.
