Description

Method for preparing epichlorohydrin
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of preparation of organic chemical intermediates, and in particular relates to a method for preparing epichlorohydrin.
Background
Epichlorohydrin is an important organic chemical intermediate and is mainly used for producing epoxy resin. Currently, the industrial preparation of epichlorohydrin mainly adopts a chlorohydrin method, chloropropene, chlorine and water are subjected to chlorohydrination reaction to prepare dichloropropanol, and then the dichloropropanol is further saponified to obtain epichlorohydrin. In the chlorohydrination reaction, chlorine is used as an oxidant and a chlorine source, water is used for providing hydroxyl, the reaction mechanism is that hypochlorous acid generated by the reaction of the chlorine and the water oxidizes a double bond of chloropropene, electrons on the double bond are transferred to a chlorine atom, the chlorine atom is added to the double bond, and then the hydroxyl nucleophilically attacks another carbon atom of the double bond to generate dichloropropanol.
However, the chlorohydrin method uses highly toxic chlorine as a raw material, and has low safety; the oxidation by-product hydrochloric acid can cause low atom utilization rate of chlorohydrination reaction, so that the yield of epoxy chloropropane is low; chlorine has active chemical property, is easy to generate side reaction and generates more byproducts; the direct addition reaction with chloropropene can generate low-value trichloropropane, and in order to control the concentration of a target product, a large amount of water is required to dilute the concentration of chlorine in a reaction system, so that the energy consumption in the saponification separation process is high, and each ton of epoxy chloropropane generates waste water and waste residue which are difficult to treat, thereby polluting the environment.

Detailed Description
The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The examples do not show the specific techniques or conditions, according to the technical or conditions described in the literature in the field, or according to the product specifications. The reagents or instruments used are conventional products available from regular distributors, not indicated by the manufacturer.
The embodiment of the invention provides a method for preparing epichlorohydrin, which comprises the following steps:
chloropropene is used as a raw material, hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidant, a solvent and a surfactant are added, and the reaction is carried out in a fixed bed catalytic reactor.
The reaction can be carried out at normal pressure or elevated pressure.
The solvent may be an alcohol, a ketone, an acid, an ester, or a nitrile, and is preferably a common reagent such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, or acetonitrile, and is more preferably methanol. The chloropropene and the hydrogen peroxide are not mutually soluble, and the solubility of the chloropropene and the hydrogen peroxide can be effectively increased by the solvent. The amount of solvent is based on the filling of the reaction bed.
The surfactant may be one or more of an anionic surfactant (e.g. stearic acid, sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate), a cationic surfactant (e.g. a quaternary ammonium salt), a zwitterionic surfactant (e.g. lecithin, amino acid type, betaine type), a non-ionic surfactant (e.g. fatty acid glyceride, fatty acid sorbitan (span), polysorbate (tween)). The addition of the surfactant can further increase the solubility of chloropropene and hydrogen peroxide and improve the reaction conversion rate; the adsorption and diffusion speed of reactants on the surface of the catalyst can be accelerated, the reaction efficiency is increased, and the service life of the catalyst is prolonged.
Preferably, the surfactant is a non-ionic surfactant, further preferably a combination of span and tween, such as: the combination of span-60 (added in 0.005% -0.5%) and tween-80 (added in 0.005% -0.5%), or the combination of span-80 (added in 0.005% -0.5%) and tween-60 (added in 0.005% -0.5%), or the combination of span-60 (added in 0.005% -0.5%) and tween-60 (added in 0.005% -0.5%), or the combination of span-80 (added in 0.005% -0.5%) and tween-80 (added in 0.005% -0.5%), etc.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the span and the tween are loaded on a certain amount of the carrier, and then the surfactant containing the carrier is added to the reaction system. Wherein, the benzene accounts for 0.005 to 0.5 weight percent of the total amount of the surfactant and the carrier, and the Tween accounts for 0.005 to 0.5 weight percent of the total amount of the surfactant and the carrier. The surfactant containing the carrier accounts for 0.0005 to 0.1 percent of the mass of the reaction system, and preferably 0.005 to 0.05 percent of the mass of the reaction system. The reaction system refers to the sum of chloropropene, hydrogen peroxide and a solvent.
The hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide) may be pure, but from the viewpoint of safety and economy, an aqueous solution having a concentration of 5% to 90% is preferably used, and an aqueous solution having a concentration of 30% to 70% is more preferably used.
The mol ratio of the chloropropene to the hydrogen peroxide (calculated as pure hydrogen peroxide) is 10:1-1:1, and preferably 3:1-1.5: 1.
The catalyst in the fixed bed catalytic reactor adopts a titanium silicalite molecular sieve, which is a generic name of zeolite with titanium atoms replacing part of silicon atoms in a lattice framework. Such materials are known in the art as titanium-containing zeolites having an MFI topology like ZSM-5 aluminosilicate zeolite, TS-1, MEL topology like ZSM-11 aluminosilicate zeolite, TS-2, and titanium-containing molecular sieves having framework structures isomorphous to mordenite, ZSM-12, MCM-41, MCM-48, and MWW, among others. The titanium-silicon molecular sieve can be purchased commercially or prepared by self. The particle size of the catalyst is 0.1mm to 10cm, preferably 1mm to 3 mm.
When feeding, preferably, the solvent, the hydrogen peroxide and the chloropropene are mixed firstly, and then mixed with the surfactant at the feed inlet of the reactor. The feeding can be carried out by adopting the upper part or the lower part of the reactor and the concurrent flow. A feed space velocity ofCalculated by hydrogen peroxide, is 0.05 to 4 hours-1Preferably 0.1 to 2h-1
Based on the above embodiment, the method for preparing epichlorohydrin provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes:
and separating the product of the fixed bed catalytic reactor, introducing the separated solvent and residual hydrogen peroxide into another reactor, and simultaneously introducing chloropropene for reaction.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1, a solvent, hydrogen peroxide and chloropropene 5 and a surfactant 4 are fed into a fixed bed catalytic reactor 1, the chloropropene and the hydrogen peroxide undergo an epoxidation reaction in the fixed bed catalytic reactor 1, and a first product 6 is generated and comprises epichlorohydrin, the solvent, residual chloropropene and residual hydrogen peroxide. Introducing the first product 6 into a separator 2 for separation, extracting the separated epoxy chloropropane and residual chloropropene 7, and further processing to obtain epoxy chloropropane; and introducing the separated solvent and residual hydrogen peroxide 8 into a reactor 3 filled with a catalyst, and introducing chloropropene 9 at the same time, so that catalytic epoxidation reaction is continuously carried out in the reactor 3, and a generated second product 10 comprises epoxy chloropropane, chloropropene, solvent and water, and processing to obtain an epoxy chloropropane product.
Wherein the separator 2 can adopt centrifugal separation or standing separation.
The reactants are difficult to completely react in the reactor, and when the hydrogen peroxide is excessive, a large amount of residues exist, so that the excessive chloropropene is generally adopted, but a small amount of hydrogen peroxide also remains when the chloropropene is excessive, and the residual hydrogen peroxide can be decomposed to generate oxygen during subsequent separation, so that the process risk is increased. In the embodiment of the invention, the hydrogen peroxide in the fixed bed catalytic reactor 1 can only react for 90-95 percent, and 5-10 percent of hydrogen peroxide can be remained. In the embodiment of the invention, the solvent and the residual hydrogen peroxide 8 are added into chloropropene 9, and after further catalytic reaction in the reactor 3, the residual hydrogen peroxide can be reacted completely, namely the second product 10 does not contain hydrogen peroxide, so that unsafe factors of oxygen generated by decomposition of the residual hydrogen peroxide are avoided.
The reason why the hydrogen peroxide can be completely reacted in the reactor 3 of the embodiment of the present invention is that: only 5-10% of residual hydrogen peroxide is left in the first product 6 at the outlet of the fixed bed catalytic reactor 1, and the absolute content of the hydrogen peroxide is low, so that the molar ratio of chloropropene to the hydrogen peroxide in the reactor 3 can reach a large value, the complete reaction is facilitated, and the actual absolute amount of chloropropene is not large. Of course, the hydrogen peroxide can be reacted completely by simultaneously reducing the space velocity and increasing the reaction temperature. Even without using a fixed bed reactor, other reaction forms such as a boiling bed, a slurry bed or a fluidized bed are selected to improve the conversion rate of the hydrogen peroxide and realize the complete reaction of 5 to 10 percent of residual hydrogen peroxide.
