The reaction is used for preparing aromatic carboxylic acid in a liquid solvent medium, wherein the liquid flow of reactor products is discharged from an oxidation process and is separated so as to generate liquid flow containing the products, mother liquor flow and purge flow containing catalyst. The purge flow subsequently flows through a filtering system (10) and a series of adsorption containers (30, 40, 50, 60) so as to remove the oxidation catalyst and separate impurities from the catalyst. A solvent is separated from reaction by-products by a traditional distillation method and is used in processes again, and reaction by-product residue is processed by calcining. The oxidation catalyst is eluted from an ion exchange column and is used in the processes again.

The data of table 1 have illustrated that clearly the sample that utilizes prepared in laboratory can remove effectively to cobalt/Mn catalyst.
Referring to Fig. 2, it has shown second kind of embodiment, and this embodiment is to utilize principle of the present invention, the method for recovery and reuse oxidation catalyst from the production and processing liquid stream that contains aromatic carboxylic acid.
The acetate wash liquid stream that contains oxidation catalyst flows into filtration system 110 via pipeline 112.Insoluble aromatic acid is removed by system 110 from reaction dissolvent liquid stream.The main component of insoluble matter comprises the aromatic carboxylic acid product, because its solubility in reaction dissolvent is limited.Residual solution stream (retentate stream) 115 turns back to the aromatic acid product and cleans in the feeder trough.Come the anhydrous discharge currents of self-cleaning feeder trough then to turn back in the aromatic acid manufacturing process.Preferred filtration system is a cross-current membrane type filter plant.The preferred structure material of cross-flow filter is pottery or sintered powder metal alloy.But,, then also be suitable for if the aperture of other filter plant is small enough to remove substantially all particulates matter in the reaction dissolvent.The method that removes particulate matter with filtration is a preferable methods, though other method also is suitable for, so ineffective.An example is upwards to flow through the adsorbing medium that particle can be passed through.Other filter plant that is suitable for comprises pocket type, cartridge type, tubular filter and centrifugation apparatus.Preferred operating temperature is 35-120 ℃, is more preferably 50-100 ℃.
Acetate purge flow 122 flows through heat exchanger 120, and heat exchanger 120 is elevated to preferred operating temperature with the temperature of reaction dissolvent, promptly is higher than the temperature of 10 ℃ of feeding liquid streams.Intensification makes the temperature of liquid be kept above the saturation temperature of the aromatic acid of dissolving.
Make hydrobromic acid (HBr) aqueous solution inject acetate purge flow 132 via pipeline 135, to form the anion bromide complex of cobalt and manganese respectively with enough stoichiometric proportions.Adsorbing medium can be by any composition the in some anion exchange resin.Anionic exchange medium can be a strong base, also can be the weak base type.Optionally anionic exchange medium can be the highly basic class, for example but be not limited to Sybron ASB1, also can be the weak base class, for example but be not limited to Rohm and Haas IRA67.The preferred anionic surfactants exchange media is a pyridine radicals anion exchange resin, for example but be not limited to Reillex HP or HPQ.Other Ion Exchange Medium based on the pyridine chemistry also is suitable for.Make the flow of solution that contains bromide ion cross medium, make the anion adsorbing medium be converted into the bromide form.Preferred solution is hydrobromic acid (HBr), because it generally is the part of oxidative system.
Acetate purge flow 132 flows through the contactor 130 that contains the anion adsorbing medium.Container 130 is removed the oxidation catalyst as anion metal bromide complex.The acetate that flows out from container 130 flows through the refining vessel 140 that contains this anion adsorbing medium equally via pipeline 142.Carry out suction-operated completely in the container 130 to such degree, make the catalyst concn that flows out in the liquid be at least in the acetate purge flow catalyst concn 50%.Use refining vessel 140 that the adsorbing medium in the container 130 is maximized the use, and prevent the loss of oxidation catalyst.
The outflow liquid of container 140 flows to container 145 via pipeline 143.Container 145 is removed and is present in the bromide ion that flows out in the liquid.Preferred IER is weak anion resin (gel resin or a macroreticular resin).Optionally the IER medium can be ResinTech WBMP, Rohm﹠amp; Haas IR68, Ionac AFP 329, PuroliteA-100, Dow WGR-2 or homologue.When the IER medium exhausts,, remove remaining reaction dissolvent with water wash container 145.Make strong alkali aqueous solution flow through container 145 then, from the IER medium, remove bromide ion.Strong base solution is replaced into hydroxide ion with bromide ion.The highly basic that is suitable for regenerative process is including, but not limited to NaOH or potassium hydroxide.
The outflow liquid of container 145 flows in the acetate removal process via pipeline 144, and this process is isolated acetate from the aromatic acid of remnants.The back acetate of will purifying then turns back in the oxidizing process.
An optional step in the catalyst recovery process is that the outflow liquid that makes container 145 flows through the container 150 that contains granular active carbon (GAC) via pipeline 144.It is colour former that GAC removes the higher condensed nucleus aromatic of molecular weight.The outflow liquid of GAC container flows to the acetate removal process via pipeline 152.The acetate that reclaims turns back in the oxidizing process.The enforcement of this processing procedure is shown in embodiment 4.Remaining aromatic series after the purification has the economic worth as the pure and mild unsaturated polyester resin raw material of polyester polyols.By first water, use caustic soda heat (70-90 ℃) solution (5-10%) drip washing GAC then, can make GAC regeneration.The higher aromatic series of molecular weight is removed from GAC, and handles in traditional ecological waste treatment system as soluble sodium salt.
Make water flow through adsorbing medium, from container 130 wash-out oxidation catalysts via pipeline 136.The anion metal complex of cobalt and manganese is destroyed in the presence of water, forms their respective metal cation and bromide ion.Use the water management elution process, thereby the catalyst solution that obtains concentrating (4-5% metal) flows to container 170 via 138 then.In final elution step, contained cobalt and manganese concentration relatively low (<5,000 PPM) in the water.This " tail washings (tail) " flows to container 160 via pipeline 137, and is used in next catalyst wash-out process again via pipeline 162.By utilizing wash-out " tail washings " again, the maximum organic efficiency of oxidation catalyst can reach more than 98%.
If the catalyst that reclaims contains too much water, can randomly use traditional Reverse Osmosis Technology that water is infiltrated from catalyst.
The contained bromide ion of the oxidation catalyst that reclaims is excessive with respect to the general required metal of oxidizing process and the ratio of bromide.Make catalyst solution flow through the container 180 that contains anion exchange resin via pipeline 172, remove this excessive bromide ion in the catalyst of recovery, this anion exchange resin for example but be not limited to IRA67, Purolite 845 or Sybron ASB1.Resin anion (R.A.) can be the weak base type, also can be strong base, but the preferred anionic surfactants resin is the weak base type.Anion IER is the acetate form, and it makes the acetate ion of equivalent be replaced into the bromide ion of equivalent.The outflow liquid of removing the container 180 of bromide uses in the container 170 via pipeline 182 again.When the ratio of metal and bromide reaches right value, utilize process to stop again, and the remainder catalyst in the container 180 clean in the container 170 with acetate.
Perhaps, do not use ion exchange process, but be carbonate or hydrate, can remove excessive bromide ion yet the bromide selective precipitation.Then the bromide behind the filtering-depositing, drip washing, and be dissolved in the acetate again.
Residual acetic acid cleans in the container 170 with demineralized water.Use conventional ion exchange method of reproduction then, make Ion Exchange Medium regeneration with the caustic soda aqueous solution.Make acetic acid aqueous solution flow through container 170 subsequently, make resin anion (R.A.) be converted into the acetate form.Ion exchange resin is removed to circulate for bromide next time and is got ready then.
The catalysis adsorption process provides the effective recovery to cobalt and manganese, and metal protection impurity (as nickel and cobalt) is flow through, and enters the acetate removal process.Yet iron can be accumulated in the catalyst solution of recovery, but can make the catalyst solution of recovery flow to container 190 from container 170 via pipeline 176 as corrosion impurity, removes de-iron.Container 190 contains selective Ion Exchange Medium, and it can be in the existence of cobalt and the manganese deironing of going down.The selectivity Ion Exchange Medium for example can be but be not limited to Resintech SIR-500, Rohm﹠amp; HaasIR-718, Purolite S-950 or Eichrome Eiphonix.Preferred selective resin is the strong acidic ion resin of being made by Eichrome industrial group that contains pyrophosphoric acid functional group.The catalyst that reclaims flows through container 190 via pipeline 176, and 190 pairs of iron of container carry out selective removal.Oxidation catalyst after purifying then turns back in the oxidizing process via pipeline 192.
Make the solution of dense inorganic acid flow through container 190, make the selectivity IER regeneration in the container 190 via pipeline 196.Inorganic acid for example but be not limited to hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid and sulfuric acid.Preferred acid is hydrochloric acid.With in the alkali chemical (as lime or caustic soda) and ferric chloride solution, make its precipitation.Handle iron mud with rational method then.Another kind of renovation process is with rare hydrobromic acid aqueous solution drip washing container 190, and this method can be removed any remaining cobalt of chemical replacement to the selective resin of understanding.The HBr concentrated solution that preferably contains 25-48%HBr can flow through the selective resin in the container 190.The iron of removing from selective resin is converted into anion bromide complex in the presence of dense HBr.By making the anion IER of flow of solution perbromide form, can remove the ferric bromide anionic complex.The water wash-out is removed ferric bromide, and dense HBr is reused in the regenerative process next time of container 190.Available then traditional intermediate processing is handled iron.The cobalt that reclaims can be used in again and reclaim in the catalyst storage tank.After the regeneration, with the IER medium in the thorough drip washing container 190 of deionized water.
