Description

Process method and system for producing isopropanol by acetone hydrogenation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of isopropanol preparation, in particular to a process method and a system for producing isopropanol by acetone hydrogenation.
Background
The production of isopropanol can be carried out by hydration of propylene, such as indirect esterification using sulfuric acid, direct hydration using solid acidic catalyst or cation exchange resin catalyst, etc.
Since industrially most of acetone is obtained from cumene peroxidation and is co-produced with phenol. Due to the increase of the needed amount of phenol, a large amount of acetone is produced, imbalance of the demand occurs, and the situation that the acetone is excessive is often caused. This makes the hydrogenation of acetone to produce isopropanol an economically viable route.
The hydrogenation of acetone can be catalyzed by nickel-based or copper-based catalysts, or by noble metals such as palladium, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, etc. The nickel catalyst is preferably Raney nickel (Raney Nickel), and may be supported on a carrier or in the form of a composite oxide. Copper is often combined with other metal oxides as a catalyst or supported on a carrier.
Acetone is hydrogenated on the above type of catalyst, a fixed bed reactor is mostly adopted, acetone and hydrogen gas enter a reactor filled with the catalyst continuously in a liquid phase or a gas phase according to a certain proportion, and the isopropanol is hydrogenated under proper temperature and hydrogen pressure.
Japanese Kokai publication Hei-3-141235 describes a process using a Raney nickel catalyst, which describes that the conversion of acetone hydrogenation and the selectivity of isopropanol hydrogenation both reach 99.9%. Hei 2-279643 describes a hydrogenation process using Ru/gamma-A12O 3 catalyst, and describes that acetone is diluted with isopropanol and then hydrogenated, the highest conversion rate can reach 99.9 percent under the pressure of 9.0MPa, and the highest selectivity of isopropanol can also reach 99.9 percent. Although the two catalysts have good activity and selectivity, the Raney nickel catalyst has higher relative price and is more complex in catalyst filling and operation; noble metal catalysts such as platinum, palladium, rhodium and the like are more expensive, and moreover, the catalyst is used for acetone hydrogenation under severe conditions and too high reaction pressure.
The copper-based catalyst has the advantages of simple preparation, low price and easy operation and use. The copper-based catalyst is generally carried on a carrier or is tableted and molded together with other metal oxides as promoters. The improvement of the copper-based catalyst lies in that the activity and the selectivity of the catalyst are improved by selecting a proper cocatalyst component, and the same good catalytic effect as that of the nickel catalyst can be achieved. When a catalyst supported on a carrier such as alumina or silica is used, the presence of the carrier is likely to cause other side reactions, and the selectivity of isopropyl alcohol is not high. When other metal oxides are used as promoters, the metal oxides are required to have functions of not only serving as active components for hydrogenation, but also serving for loading copper simple substances and dispersing copper microcrystals. The metal oxide used as a promoter is usually formed by tablet compression together with copper oxide, and such a promoter is required to be active only in the reaction of hydrogenating acetone to produce isopropanol, so as not to reduce the selectivity of isopropanol.
For example, Su patent SU1051055A, SU1118632A and Japanese patent application No. Hei 3-41038 describe a hydrogenation method using Cu-Cr catalyst, while Russian patent RU2047590 uses a catalyst containing NiO (25-65%), CuO (10-35%) and Cr2O3 (15-40%) for catalytic hydrogenation. The hydrogenation by adopting the catalyst has the defects that the conversion rate of acetone and the selectivity of isopropanol are not high, and are generally lower than 99.5 percent, namely the yield of the isopropanol is not high. And, use Cr2O3The toxicity of chromium compounds as a co-catalyst component makes the preparation and post-treatment of the catalyst cumbersome and causes environmental problems.
Chinese patent CN1255482A reports a method for preparing isopropanol by acetone hydrogenation using a platelet-type CuO-ZnO mixed oxide catalyst, and the acetone conversion rate and the isopropanol selectivity can both reach 99.9% at a certain temperature and pressure. However, the copper-based catalyst is easy to melt due to high reaction temperature, so that the catalyst is gradually deactivated and is operated at a lower acetone conversion rate.
Chinese patent CN1962588A reports that acetone is used as raw material and Ni-Co/AC is used as catalyst, wherein the composition of the Ni-Co/AC catalyst is: 10-70% of Ni, 1.1-30% of Co and the balance of active carbon components, and continuously reacting in a gas phase to prepare the isopropanol. The specific operating conditions are: pressure: normal pressure-2.0 MPa, temperature: 70-200 ℃, acetone liquid phase space velocity: 1.0 to 10.0 hours-1Hydrogen-ketone molar ratio: 3.0 to 15.0. By adopting the method, high-purity isopropanol for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries can be obtained through subsequent processing. However, in the method, the preferable Ni content is 50-65% and the Co content is 2.0-20% in the supported nickel catalyst, the preparation cost of the catalyst is high, and the economical efficiency of producing isopropanol by acetone hydrogenation is reduced.
In the prior art documents, the existing process for producing isopropanol by hydrogenating acetone has the problems of harsh reaction conditions and/or undesirable use of catalyst, and related patent reports are only limited to the catalyst, but the process is rarely involved. The reason is that the acetone hydrogenation process is not very complicated, the acetone generates isopropanol with high conversion rate and selectivity under certain temperature and pressure, and byproducts are only small amounts of 4-methyl-2-pentanol and propane, sometimes small amounts of diisopropyl ether and C9, etc., which are very small in amount and easy to separate. However, water is generated in the processes, and meanwhile, a small amount of water with the concentration of about 0.2-0.3% is brought into the raw material acetone, although the total amount of water is not large, the isopropanol and the water form an azeotrope, the azeotropic temperature is 80.2 ℃, the boiling point of the isopropanol is 82.0 ℃, and the separation is difficult; meanwhile, the purity of the isopropanol serving as a product is required to be more than 99.7 percent, and the water content is less than 0.2 percent, so that the loss of the isopropanol product cannot be avoided in the post-treatment process. In the prior art, unreacted acetone is removed from the material flow after the hydrogenation reaction, and then the material flow enters a dehydration tower, and because isopropanol azeotropes with water, the water content of a tower bottom material is controlled within a certain range by taking out a certain amount of isopropanol, so that the tower bottom material enters a product tower, and a qualified isopropanol product can be obtained at the tower top. This portion of aqueous isopropanol is generally sold as a very inexpensive waste material, resulting in loss of isopropanol product, affecting the operating costs of the plant; however, even if the part of the aqueous isopropyl alcohol is subjected to azeotropic distillation or membrane evaporation treatment, the investment and operation costs are increased, and the process operation is complicated.
